♫ This romantic story ♫
♫ You're a cold dawn colored by the blue light... ♫
Jae Won!
Please step back!
I am Kim Jae Won's primary care physician.
Honey...
Honey.
You cannot do CPR! Move aside.
A patient with EDH is going to arrive at the ER.
Reserve an operating room for me.
Mr. Kim Jae Won...
has passed away.
Honey...
I killed my husband...
What do I do...
I... killed him...
I...
I am the murderer!
[Brain Works]
- Please give it to us quickly! - Yes.
Why isn't what I ordered coming out?
Yes, just a moment!
A soju and a beer, please!
Boss, get me tofu kimchi quickly!
Just wait a bit!
Gosh, even the sound of the vibration is so insidious.
So annoying!
[Yi Na's mom]
If I take this call, I'd be your husband, your husband!
[Yi Na's mom]
Gosh.
Cancel what I said about being your husband.
What is it!
Hurry up and come here!
Why do I need to go over there?
You're a cop! You're a public servant paid by tax money.
You should come when your mistress calls you.
Oh, I see, Mistress.
But I am a public servant, not a private slave.
Aren't you going to prevent a crime?
I might die like this!
I'm no longer a homicide detective who goes out there on the field.
I am a CSI detective who opens skulls!
CSI?
If I do, do that for me.
It is my will.
Give your will to your husband,
and report crimes to 112* (Phone number for the police in South Korea)
There's no way I'll go! You got that?
Hey! Open the door!
Aren't you going to open the door?
If you don't open the door, I'll bash in his head!
I-I-I really didn't know.
I didn't know that she had a lover.
You're a sore for the eyes.
Put your clothes on first.
It's so hot.
Wear it, you bastard.
Geez, her tastes are really something.
Man, this is going to drive me nuts.
- Honey, you came! - What?
You had another guy?
Oh! No, I'm not one of them.
Don't hurt my pride by putting me in the boundaries of you guys.
Relax.
This bastard!
That hurts!
It hurts, it hurts!
Who are you?
Me?
Her ex-husband.
The ex-husband
of your lover.
My...
ex-husband.
[Brain Characteristic - Full of Libido Name: Kim Mo Ran Occupation: Unknown]
Geez.
I've proven myself to be a sucker once again.
Why do I live like this?
Seriously, I'm going to croak from embarrassment.
[Brain Characteristic: Selfless Name: Geum Myung Se, Occupation: Neuroscience Team Sergeant, CSI Division at Seobu Police Station]
Honey, what do you mean by CSI?
You don't like using your brain. It doesn't suit you at all.
Forget it.
I majored in science, too, you know.
If you ever call me about something like this again, you're dead.
Team Captain Seol.
Yes, Team Captain.
A murder case?
There she is! There she is!
Hey, move aside!
Move away.
Ms. Jeong, why did you kill your husband?
- Move aside! - How did you kill your husband?
Yes, yes.
Ask your questions.
Is it true that the cause of death was a brain hemorrhage?
What do you mean by the wife causing a brain hemorrhage?
Well, one thing that I can tell you is this.
At our police station, for the first time in South Korea,
I will be leading
our newly established neuroscience team dedicated to
dealing with the rising crimes related to brain disease.
This case will be handled by our neuroscience team.
[Neuroscience Team]
Oh, man...
What do I do?
Geez, the office isn't even organized yet,
so how could they assign a case to us- Oh, my gosh!
Team Captain!
Why are you there like that?
I fell...
I am sorry.
I mean, this is not a matter of being sorry...
- Hurry up and get out. - Oh, it's all right.
I'll get out by myself.
I'm okay.
Whoa!
Geez.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'm sorry.
But aren't they too much?
Looks like the subsection chief overextended himself because it's a case involving a celebrity
and would be good for getting the spotlight.
But at this rate, we might just end up facing public embarrassment.
- You're right... - Right?
When the subsection chief comes, you should tell him that this case is too much for us.
What?
- Me? - Yes.
All right! It's here, it's here.
The opportunity to be promoted at a 5G rate is here!
Let's show them the reason for the existence of our neuroscience team by handling this case well.
Why?
What?
Well, Subsection Chief...
I'm sorry, but...
[Brain Characteristic: Timid Name: Seol So Jeong, Occupation: Neuroscience Team Captain, CSI Division at Seobu Police Station]
We are not...
yet ready.
So...
are you telling me you can't do it?
- Yes... - What?
Yes?
No, no, I mean...
What do you mean no?
Just when the section chief sent me a message asking me to investigate the case
without leaving any trace of doubt as it's a high-profile case,
and I was just replying by saying "Yes!!!" with three exclamation marks...
and you say something so demoralizing like that?
I'm sorry.
If you don't have your teeth, you use your gums!
If we lack something, we can borrow and ask around. Isn't this a matter of will?
Have we ever started something after having everything set?
Team Captain Seol, maybe you don't know because you haven't been out on the field.
Or...
are you trying to insult me even though you already know?
Excuse me, Subsection Chief.
I complained to her saying that we weren't ready.
I'm sorry.
In this economic age of the information technology,
this is a team I've ambitiously created in line with the policies of the Cerebral Science Initiative.
How well my performance ratings will be is in the hands of you two.
Make sure to lead this investigation successfully!
- You got that? - Yes...
Yes, sir!
Mr. Kim Jae Won had Parkinson's?
He was still young...
It's been three years.
They said that since he was young, the progression was swift...
He even underwent DBS, a deep brain stimulation.
It's an operation to control hand tremors by implanting electrodes in the brain. Right?
Yes.
The operation went well so he had no problems with everyday life,
but it was difficult for him to continue to play guitar.
Playing guitar was everything to him.
He's always said that he wanted to die while playing the guitar...
He said this right before his performance.
"Kill me right when I'm shining the most on stage."
He said he had a brilliant idea and that we should use a high frequency bracelet,
since a DBS patient must never use a high frequency device.
He managed to obtain a high-frequency bracelet that was modified to make the energy flow strong,
and said he will wear it up on stage-
This is Jae Won's phone.
He asked me to turn it on with an app on the phone.
I did as he wished.
In the end, I'm the one who killed him...
I...
I'm the murderer.
Yes, it's possible.
Diatomic energy can pass through implanted devices and cause tissue damage
and can lead to death.
Usually, medical devices are fine.
However, if he had it modified illegally,
then it would be a different story.
I recommended him to receive psychiatric counseling because he was depressed lately.
I feel terrible as his primary care physician.
We're ready.
Okay, I'm going to raise it.
I'm doing it.
Wow, wow!
Wow, this goes way over the maximum limit.
It's to the extent that the frequency meter can't read it.
And there's quite a bit of heat coming from it.
It was illegally modified for sure.
We would have to wait for the results of the autopsy,
but Jeong In Young's testimony seems to be true.
Getting scientific evidence would be necessary.
- We should do a simulation. - What?
Me?
No.
I would need to.
I will do it.
Oh, no, no.
That's not what I meant. If it's a simulation,
shouldn't we have like a simulation mannequin?
Yes, but since we don't have any,
it seems that we will need to put in a request for an experiment.
There is a cerebral nerve simulation center at Hankuk University Hospital's Brain Research Institute.
called Brain Hub...
Brain Hub?
I'm usually not familiar with these things...
Where have I heard it before?
You probably know it because of him.
You know, the really famous neuroscientist.
We invite Dr. Shin Ha Ru to the stage, the neuroscientist
who will give us an amazing lecture for us today.
His name is Shin Ha Ru.
He's a neuroscientist who appears often in cultural programs on TV.
Recently, he created a sensation for developing the technology for the interface
of a robot that moves based on one's thoughts.
Even a neuroscientist drinks this.
Oh! "Even a neuroscientist drinks this." That guy!
Yeah? The guy who did the commercial like this.
Yes, yes, him.
- He even wrote a book. - Yes.
This one.
Whoa!
[Dissecting Violence: The Brain of a Psychopath] He's an expert of psychopaths. We're good!
But I heard that his personality is quite difficult...
Oh, don't worry about it.
Even his personality is a bit difficult, he's probably an easy read.
For people like him, I just need to say a few words and he'll come around.
Geez.
It's even scarier because it's raining.
I guess you're enjoying yourself, Doctor?
Of course.
It's a storehouse full of treasure.
Gosh, that scared me.
Yes, this is Dr. Shin Ha Ru's research institute.
I wanted to request a simulation and consultation
to check if this was actually something possible.
It's the case on Kim Jae Won, who recently passed away while performing.
His wife is the suspect.
I am the murderer!
You can't spot what's off about this?
Would it be okay for my student
to be this lacking in observation skills?
I'm sorry.
Something's off.
I will have to check this for myself.
Tell him that I will do the consultation.
Yes.
Oh, yes! I will give you a call when we arrive that day.
Yes, have a good day.
He's a really busy person, and yet he agreed to it!
I didn't even have to say much!
This guy is quite a nice guy.
He wanted a cerebral nerve simulation done.
Shall I check the center's schedule?
Simulation?
It's not the time to be doing that.
That woman...
is probably not the culprit.
Excuse me?
I mean, how do you know that, Doctor?
Think about...
how I would know that!
While I go and visit my treasure.
[Postmortem Brain Donation Agreement]
[Medical Diagnosis]
Wow, it's true...
that you'll let me do one more murder.
It's your wish.
With this one page, you'll be able to leave.
And you can create your own opportunity once you leave.
And your wish
is to get my brain?
Isn't it the perfect trade?
You get to do one more murder and leave this world, and...
I get your brain.
It's awesome.
It's awesome, right?
But...
why do I feel like I'm getting the worse end of the deal?
Okay.
Forget it then.
Aigoo, you've got quite the temper.
Fine. Let's do it.
Kang Seong Ha.
Happy?
All right, what do we need to do now?
We just need to do this.
[Medical Diagnosis]
What is this!
I...
recently went to the Nobel prize conference at Lindau, Germany.
The young neuroscientist that the Nobel prize laureates most wanted to meet
was me.
You don't know what that means?
Let me tell you in simple prison terms so you can understand clearly.
In the field of neuroscience in South Korea,
I am the head.
Got it?
It feels great to brag
about myself with my own lips.
What the hell are you talking about?
Will someone so great like me
make a deal with a human piece of trash who is addicted to something like murder?
Son of a bitch...
Do you really want to die?
If you really want to commit murder, I'll give you a tip.
There is only one person you can kill.
You.
Yourself.
This bastard!
You!
Even if you may be the head over there,
I'm the head here!
You!
I'll send you to see your father now.
Say thank you to me!
Will you be able...
to handle what you just said?
You!
Later, we should get that kimchi...
Kang Seong Ha, you bastard! Get away from him!
Doctor!
Get away!
Spit it out, you bastard!
Hey!
You son of a bitch!
I gave you a final chance to redeem yourself for your life full of sin.
And yet, you can't take advantage of that!
Doctor!
Just as you said,
I will do one final murder.
But oh, well!
You won't be able to get what you wanted so badly.
No.
I will get it.
With this hand,
I will...
take out your brain for sure.
I will cut it into pieces
and use it for research.
[Brain characteristic - Very special Name: Shin Ha Ru, Occupation: Neuroscientist at Brain Hub]
Just wait and see.
That guy...
will die soon.
Even if he really wants to commit murder,
would he really kill himself?
Since that's the only option he has.
When the brain of Kang Seong Ha that is addicted to murder
realizes that it can no longer commit murder, it will go into despair.
If he can't commit murder, there is no more reason for him to live.
He will do as I've suggested to him.
The final murder that he can commit.
He will commit suicide.
Kang Seong Ha, who was serving a death sentence for murdering eight people in the southwestern region
was found dead after hanging himself in solitary confinement.
[Serial murderer Kang Seong Ha found dead in prison] Meanwhile, the fact that Kang Seong Ha donated his brain to Brain Hub,
a brain research institute affiliated with Hankuk University Hospital, is making headlines.
Many people are wondering about the circumstances in which
Kang Seong Ha came to the decision to donate his brain.
Doctor.
He committed suicide just as you have said.
Once you know someone's brain, you almost become like a fortune teller.
Be grateful to me that
you'll get to see a pure psychopath's brain.
But Doctor,
Kang Seong Ha chewed up and swallowed the donation agreement.
How did you get his donation?
Take the call.
Yes, this is Dr. Shin Ha Ru's research institute.
Oh, yes, Detective.
Well, I guess Kang Seong Ha's corpse is coming over here.
Man, it's a quite the commotion here.
Yes, yes, I'm coming up now.
This was Reporter Min Byung Chan of MBN news.
Wow. He's really doing well.
It appears that he's the face of this place.
Dr. Shin Ha Ru.
[Welcome to Brain Hub]
[Brain Hub, Dr. Shin H. R. - In office]
Dr. Shin Ha Ru.
Whoa.
Dr. Shin Ha Ru?
What's this about?
I'm Detective Geum Myung Se, here to meet with you regarding the case on Kim Jae Won's death.
I just spoke to your assistant over the phone.
Oh, that.
First, you should help me.
[Postmortem Brain Donation Agreement]
Post it on the window so they can see it clearly from outside.
And get ready.
But, Doctor.
I-I'm really curious,
but Kang Seong Ha ate this.
He ate it?
- Then what is this? - That's what I mean.
- How is this here- - Why are you speaking nonsense?
You don't remember?
That day, when I almost died being strangled.
I received it then.
You don't remember?
Oh, yes, yes... I guess I do.
Such a young man like you...
shouldn't have such a bad memory.
- But, Doctor- - What now!
Professor Jin would be furious...
Once we're done, could you go with me...
It is scary when Professor Jin gets angry...
We can't let him get upset when he's the son of the university president.
It would be a big problem if an orphan like me were to anger the president's son,
even when I am a much more renowned neuroscientist than he is!
I can't go against the president's son.
Right?
O-Oh, no... That's not what I meant...
I'm sorry.
If you care so much about how others feel, would you be able to stay under my wing?
You make your choice.
Either follow what I do,
or get out immediately.
This donation
will provide much help to our biological research
on the antisocial behavior of psychopaths.
I heard that Kang Seong Ha donated his brain to Dr. Shin Ha Ru.
It was not to Dr. Shin,
but to our Brain Hub.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, we will end the briefing here.
All right, then.
- Wait... - No more comments?
Doctor?
[Postmortem Brain Donation Agreement]
Why isn't he coming?
After forging the brain donation agreement...
If we get caught, we're in big trouble!
I will tell you the details later,
but you are doing something great for the advancement of neuroscience in South Korea.
You must lie here without moving
until I come back.
What the... Is he a ghost!
Whoa!
The name is Kang Seong Ha.
Fifty six years old.
The cause of death is suicide.
Received full marks on the PCL-R test. [PCL-R test: psychopath test]
Confirmed to be a psychopath using a functional MRI.
Lacks the MAO-A gene [MAO-A gene: a transcription gene, can cause excessive violent behavior when lacking]
We will start...
the cerebral autopsy.
W-W-Who are you?
You're not Kang Seong Ha!
W-W-Why are you here!
I mean...
t-t-that doctor...
That Dr. Shin Ha Ru told me to s-stay lying h-here.
- Wait... - The Doctor?
Gosh...
Man, I'm going to lose it here...
Seriously? I'm the one who's about to lose it here!
Look here. What are you going to do about this?
Wait, where is a mirror...
Damn it!
What are you going to do about this!
Give me back my hair! My hair!
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!
I thought you were Kang Seong Ha's corpse.
Kang Seong Ha's corpse was here just a moment ago.
Geez...
Let me at least pay for your haircut- Oh, I didn't bring my wallet...
A haircut?
You think that's going to cut it?
Gosh, damn it!
What's going on?
[Postmortem Brain Donation Agreement "Also, I give full authority to Dr. Shin Ha Ru over the donated brain.]
"Give full authority to Dr. Shin Ha Ru"?
This makes no sense.
Where is Kang Seong Ha's corpse?
I think Dr. Shin took it elsewhere.
- Find it, now! - Yes, sir!
Darn it!
W-What's going on!
They don't see me?
Where are they all running off to after doing this to me!
Dr. Shin!
Open the door.
Open the door now!
Open the door, Dr. Shin!
Stop right now! Open the door!
Doctor!
Open the door right now!
Dr. Shin.
Stop it right now.
- Open the door! - Doctor!
Stop!
Bring the master key. Quickly!
Dr. Shin!
It's here!
What gives you the right to perform this autopsy!
Harvey, the pathologist who performed the autopsy on Einstein's brain,
kept the picture of his brain to himself until he died.
And there was even a litigation over the brain of
Henry Molaison, the real life model for the movie "Memento."
The point is,
why do I need to share the trophy with you?
Dr. Shin!
Doctor!
Oh, here you were.
I can't just let this go.
I will put in a formal complaint about this.
I also can't just let this go.
Look at this.
W-What are you going to do about this?
Who are you? Who are you that you're hanging around like this!
Can't you tell? I am a victim!
This doctor told me to lie there, so I ended up like this!
Why would you cooperate in such a matter?
- Are you an idiot? - What?
Is that all you got to say?
All right. Let me clear this up.
You go ahead and put in an formal complaint.
Well, I suppose I do take some responsibility for this,
and it looks bad,
so you should cover it up with this for now.
I'll buy you another one right away, an expensive one at that.
All right, I think everything's been resolved.
All right, then.
Good day.
Hey! Dr. Shin!
What the hell is wrong with that guy?
- I mean... - I'm sorry.
If you're okay with it, you can use that for now...
Geez...
No, it's okay.
Just use it.
Seeing what that guy is like,
you must have been through a lot.
And that's why I'm like this.
I'm screwed.
My looks were all about my hair!
Gosh, what is this!
Man, I'm screwed.
I should have told you not to go.
I'm sorry.
O-Oh, why would you be sorry, Team Captain...
It's that guy who was the piece of trash!
The name of that piece of trash...
That's what I want to know.
What the!
Why did you stop in the middle of making an expressway?
Who did it? A robber?
What kind of a robber goes around with a hair clipper?
You think it was a pervert robber?
Let's go. I need to grab a drink.
With the news of the death of...
Gosh.
He was acting so serious.
"You are doing something great for neuroscience."
He was pulling shit like this... whoa...
What a nut. A total crazy nutjob.
Oh, right.
That annoying shitty bastard. You should dig into his dark true face.
That is the question that is being asked.
- Let us hear from Dr. Shin Ha Ru of Brain Hub. - It's the sinister dude.
Kang Seong Ha told me that he wanted to donate his brain to atone for his sins
and asked me to use it for the research of criminal brains.
Why isn't he coming?
After forging the brain donation agreement...
If we get caught, we're in big trouble!
Oh, yeah. It's him.
[Dead Kang Seong Ha donates his brain in atonement] That's a forgery, a forgery.
I heard it.
While I was like this,
the guy holding the hair clipper said so.
- What's your evidence? - Evidence?
I have it. My ears.
The hair clipper dude muttered
that they even forged it.
Have you ever seen someone lie when they're alone?
It seems like your condition is crappy today.
You sure you heard correctly?
Gosh.
Place a bet! Yeah.
100,000 won? 500,000 won?
Gosh.
Perfect.
[Center Director]
Geez...
Things got a bit annoying.
So, why would you perform an autopsy on Kang Seong Ha's brain by yourself!
Kang Seong Ha's brain is a valuable treasure,
and I'm the one who discovered it.
Geez.
Every brain that the research institute acquires is supposed to be shared.
I will share it.
When? After you do everything you want with it?
Isn't that obvious?
If you keep acting selfish like that,
I can no longer protect you.
This bastard, seriously!
Oh, right. I have plans to meet with my friend.
I will listen to your admonishments next time.
Shin Ha Ru!
It was a pure psychopath brain with no underlying disease.
Gosh, my heart is still racing.
You know, right?
How difficult it is to obtain a brain like that...
You bastard...
You're in a good mood, too, right?
For the Psycho Brain Rebuilding Project,
cheers.
On a day like today, shall I have one more glass?
I'm not one to be swayed
by alcohol.
♫ Dead drunk ♫
Gosh. Geez...
Daebak.
Your hair... It's so damn funny!
Hey!
You...
An expressway was created on your dad's head
- and you say "damn funny"? - So what happened?
Your father today...
Man, where do I start?
Oh! You stink, Dad!
Go wash up first!
Gosh, you don't even let me speak! Geez!
Gosh, seriously!
I need to watch my oppa!
Go ahead and watch. Did anyone tell you not to watch?
I would feel uncomfortable if you're here like this.
What's so good about that guy that you're always...
Dad.
Let's not cross the line, okay?
Oh, right.
He looks just like that annoying brat. Damn it.
What are you saying?
No matter how wasted you are, don't you mess with my oppa!
[Brain Characteristic - Teenage Name: Geum Yi Na, Occupation: 9th-grader at Geumpyeong Middle School]
I never gave birth to an oppa like that.
Gosh, I hate your dad jokes.
Gosh, how long do I have to wear this?
It's covering up my handsome face.
Geez.
Whoa, whoa! Team Captain, I'll do it, I'll do it.
No, it's okay.
Leave her be. You, give me the report on Kim Jae Won's case.
You should give the report on the case, Team Captain.
Leave this to me and go.
All right.
This is the results of the CCTV for the material witness' investigation.
There was nothing out of the ordinary,
[Kim Jae Won Murder Case] and the results of Kim Jae Won's autopsy will be out soon.
Let's take a look.
[Seobu Police]
Wow. Her indentations, and line spacing are perfectly on point.
Her sentences are concise,
and she's good with using easy and intuitive words.
I learned a lot from you.
No, it's nothing.
I will take a look at it again later.
The report is so lacking in human quality.
You should leave some flaws so your superior could point them out.
Are you trying to show off or what? Geez.
Have a nice day.
Gosh. He barks even when you do a good job.
What's with him?
Team Captain, you should go outside and get some fresh air.
It's okay.
Kim Jae Won's autopsy results are out.
[Kim Jae Won & Jeong In Young (Suspect): Husband and wife]
Based on the results of the autopsy,
the DBS electrodes were fried,
and there was a cerebral hemorrhage as a result. [Cause of death - cerebral hemorrhage due to heat from high frequency current]
We've secured clear evidence that Jeong In Young killed her husband.
It would be good if we could reinforce the evidence with a simulation.
Oh, yes. We should do it.
Instead of that annoying prat, we can just find another neuroscientist.
Gosh, let's see. Who would be good...
What the...
What is this?
[Suspicions of a famous neuroscientist forging a brain donation agreement]
"Recently, suspicions arose about a famous neuroscientist
illegally obtaining someone's brain."
"A famous neuroscientist under suspicion of forging a brain donation agreement?"
Is this Dr. Shin Ha Ru, by chance?
It appears so...
It's Reporter Moon's article.
Then, was the one who gave him the info...
Probably.
Really?
Did Dr. Shin Ha Ru really do that?
The problem is that
I feel like I said it while I was drunk.
[- Famous neuroscientist? Isn't that SHR? - SHR would do that and more.]
[- I knew SHR would be like this ever since he did that ad. - SHR's personality was always a problem.]
Who is your source?
I cannot reveal the identity of the source for the info.
You already know that's the case.
What I want to say is
please take caution as a journalist, so you don't spread fake news.
Yes.
Then we'll meet one of these days.
That trashy tabloid reporter!
I won't let this go!
No, no.
What's more important is the one who spoke nonsense to this reporter.
Who could it be?
The prison warden?
No, no.
I fed him too much bribes, enough to vomit.
It's not you, right?
Since you're an accomplice.
Who do you think it is?
Well, I'm not sure.
Call home
and tell them you can't go home for a while.
Until we catch this reckless spreader of this rumor,
we won't go home.
Wait.
I do have someone that pops into mind.
All right.
[Reporter Moon Yong Joon]
Gosh, this is driving me nuts!
Why would you publish an article without even confirming everything!
You said you heard it!
You said you would bet 100,000 won!
You were so confident! Don't you remember?
What's wrong with you? Don't you know me?
Don't you know I get cocky when I drink alcohol?
At this rate, I'll end up in jail for defamation!
That guy is no joke!
His temper is ridiculously bad!
You know very well.
You should watch who you talk about with your alcohol induced bravado.
Will you be able to handle my bad temper?
I mean, why would I have to handle that?
Since it's you...
The original spreader of the fake news.
N-No, I'm not.
Your eyes just moved up to the left.
Based on neuroscience, that means it's a high chance that you are lying.
I told you, I'm not.
Wow, that was worth capturing on footage.
"The way your eyes move when you lie."
It would have been a perfect visual example for it.
Your funny facial expression that was too good to keep to myself...
You basically confessed because you're the culprit.
Look, Doctor.
I am also a victim!
Don't you understand the definition of victim?
My reputation is being tarnished by speculative online comments. Me!
I am the victim.
Yes, yes. Relax.
Let's talk openly about this as men.
Honestly, you lied to me that day
and used me, no?
I mean, my hair ended up like this,
and I got so angry that I drank a bit.
But then, there was a report on that murderer on the news...
But why did that hair clipper guy say those things then?
He said it was a forgery.
Why are you asking me a question
- while making excuses? - Because I'm curious.
I definitely heard it.
Memories are easily altered, exaggerated, and can disappear.
Will your memories be definitive while your hair ended up like that?
Are you able to take responsibility for your memory?
Then why did you come here?
Didn't you come here to see if I'm the source?
I came here to get consultation about
putting someone in jail for defamation.
You're situated right next to Gangnam Police Station, close enough that they'd hear you fart.
So why bother come all the way here?
That's true.
My feet just naturally brought me here.
I suppose my brain
brought me to the original spreader of the fake news.
Since it's so creative.
I suppose we should do a fact check to see whether it's fake news or not.
Why don't you check on your competency to find out
what you'd do for a living once you quit working as a cop?
Wow, you talk pretty tough.
Usually, the fraudsters that I drag in by their collars talk like that.
You're no easy foe, either.
Your brain is just like that of fraudsters.
I've got something important to take care of.
It's a shame, but I'll have to stop listening to your crazy talking ability.
Have a great time getting your consultation.
How dare he...
A mere corrupt detective!
Did this happen because of a bribe-taking, trashy detective?
[Center Director]
Gosh.
Tell him I went out to take care of external matters.
Okay.
Yes, Center Director.
I am currently outside.
Gosh.
[Brain Hub, Hankuk University Hospital]
Come with me immediately.
We'll be able to tell if it's a forgery when we take a look at it.
Bring the donation agreement.
Kang Seong Ha murdered eight people brutally.
Each one, women, children, elderly...
They were all the disadvantaged of society.
Did you know that two of the victims were elementary school students?
I told you to bring the donation agreement.
Those young children
were sexually abused and killed by strangulation.
How these children would have felt as they met their painful deaths...
How would they have felt?
How lonely,
scary,
and painful for them?
Stop talking nonsense!
Bring it to me now.
I don't have it.
I lost it.
When?
Where?
If I knew that, I would find it.
I looked everywhere in my drawers, but it wasn't there.
Is it by chance in the autopsy room?
Yes.
The Center Director told me to bring it...
Bring it here.
Wait.
I'll do it.
Geez.
You're not...
- Are you crazy? - What are you doing!
- Stop! - Get away!
Hey! You think this is a joke?
I'm sorry.
My amygdala felt a sense of danger and led me to take an irrational action.
Call the prison
and tell them to send a copy of the donation agreement.
A copy is incapable of being used as evidence.
This is not a court.
Currently, there is a controversy surrounding rumors of Dr. Shin Ha Ru forging a brain donation agreement.
What is your take on this situation?
We will have to wait and see,
but if it turns out that the forgery did take place,
it would be a severe violation of research ethics.
Even if he was guilty of committing extremely horrific acts of crime-
[Center Director]
Yes, it's me.
Do you have some time?
They say that there's no original copy of the donation agreement.
We are currently investigating to see it was a forgery.
No need to dig into it. It's obvious.
It must be a forgery.
If it's a forgery,
I can't shield him anymore.
A disciplinary action committee will be held,
and we would have to follow the decision of the committee members.
Why is he always doing whatever he feels like?
I can't handle him as more time passes.
It's probably because of his brain.
You already know it.
The secret of Ha Ru's brain.
For Ha Ru, you're...
like his father. You know that, right?
Please give him one final chance.
I will make Ha Ru...
apologize.
Apologize?
Am I hearing things because of stress?
It's for your good.
It's not looking good right now.
You might receive a severe disciplinary action.
Then who would be losing out?
Brain Hub without me...
Do you think it will function properly?
Ha Ru.
Please, let's be humble and obey just this once.
[Disciplinary Action Committee]
I apologize.
The fact that I forged the donation agreement
and that I've negatively impacted the Center...
I sincerely regret my actions.
However, would you please listen to the reasons
why I had to go to such an extent for a moment?
Kang Seong Ha was a violent criminal who took the lives of eight people.
As a result of a violent criminal like him, you know how great
the emotional pain is experienced by not only the victims,
but also the victims' families and the local community.
As part of an endeavor to find a biological solution to reduce such pain,
the Psycho Brain Rebuilding Project that I am undertaking
absolutely needs this brain.
If this project were to succeed,
we can protect many people from violent crimes.
Wouldn't this be the true justice that science can achieve?
Yes.
I know.
My actions were unethical.
However,
you all know that the scientific community advanced by justifying unethical experiments
like Dr. Jenner injecting smallpox vaccine bacteria
into a gardener's son, who was only eight years old.
If I had taken on projects with only ethics in mind,
would we have the Brain Hub of today?
Honestly,
isn't it true that the committee members here were able to focus on just research
because I did whatever it took to obtain brain tissues up until this point?
That BCI center,
that research building...
While that research building that you all are comfortably situated was being built,
I probably lied about a thousand times to the businesses.
Committee Leader, that fountain pen...
And that new phone...
Do you know that
I was the one to get the endorsements?
Wow, daebak!
It was revealed that the brain donation agreement was forged.
I told you, right?
[Neuroscientist Dr. Shin Ha Ru forged the donation agreement] After doing all that, he said what?
He's so shameless!
I'm sorry, but you said it was just alcohol talking...
Brain Hub is having a disciplinary action committee for Dr. Shin Ha Ru.
I guess my keen intuition and instinct for catching the culprit didn't stop even while I was drunk!
Then, what will happen to Dr. Shin Ha Ru?
He's screwed!
[Disciplinary Action Committee Member]
Because we doubt his ethics as a researcher,
the disciplinary action committee of Brain Hub
has decided to dismiss Dr. Shin Ha Ru.
Will you be able to take responsibility for this decision?
Center Director.
Isn't this too much?
Ha Ru.
Do you think that the reason why people think about the feelings of others
is due to selflessness or selfishness?
Think about it while taking a break for the time being.
Are you not taking the call-
- Hello? - Doctor?
It's the one who first spread the fake news.
Oh, never mind! It's the one who spread the real news.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks to you, I was able to show off my amazing culprit catching skills to everyone
even while I was drunk!
Hey, look.
You should visit the police station sometime.
I will make you a cup of sweet mix coffee as a thank you.
It should help with your stressed brain!
All right, well, I'll be waiting!
Oh, that's hot, that's hot.
Has this son of a bitch gone mad?
This crazy bastard! How dare he!
You!
You son of a bitch!
Ha Ru?
You should let me know you're home.
I was scared.
What are you thinking about so intently like that?
I was thinking about things like
how my life ended up like this in an instant,
and where things went wrong.
Who knows.
It could end up being a blessing in disguise.
We managed to settle the negotiation for breach of contract for the CF.
There were quite a few public opinions who supported you saying what's so wrong about
using the brain of a murderer for research.
So we managed to reach a decent settlement.
Does the Brain Hub know about
these correct public opinions?
Let's forget about Brain Hub.
You received an offer from Max Frank Research Institute.
No.
Honestly, I feel like
it's a waste of talent for you to be here.
- Play in a bigger field- - You don't know why I said no to
all the different overseas research institutes?
Here.
My home country.
I stayed for the advancement of neuroscience in South Korea.
If I wanted to be successful and live well by myself,
I wouldn't have even stayed at Brain Hub.
Gosh.
I did all the dirty work to put them on the map,
and now they chase me out?
Even if I leave, I will leave of my own accord.
Not right now.
I will return and show them what's up. For sure...
I will return.
Okay, then.
Since you've stumbled, take a break before you get back up.
Go to Professor Eaton to cool your head...
No.
There's something I need to do before I return.
Something you need to do?
What's that?
What my brain wants to do.
I heard that he was fired from the research institute.
Of course.
No matter how violent of a criminal he was,
what would happen to this nation
if he were to ignore laws like that.
If that guy ever shows up in front of me,
I will just like-
Wha-
What's this?
W-Why are you here?
Didn't you say you would be waiting for me?
By chance,
did you really come here to get a cup of mix coffee?
Congrats.
You'll be able to see this blessed face
constantly.
What's with this random silly remark?
I will be providing consultations for this team.
I suppose you can call it a partnership of sorts.
A partnership?
You and me? Does that make sense?
I know, right?
Why would I have personally signed up
for something so ridiculous as this?
B-Because you're crazy?
Right.
That's it.
As a result of you speaking nonsense while drunk, not only my successful project
but also the advancement of neuroscience in South Korea came to a halt.
Seeing how you went about perfectly fine as a detective despite this
was driving me insane.
Look forward to it.
I'll be right by your side
and chew you up into pieces.
[Brain Works]
I don't feel good about this... The way he looks at me...
I need to remove him from his position.
You're in for the shit.
We can't have someone who was fired for ethical issues as a consultant here.
What's this!
Gosh! Stop!
- Whoa! - Please just leave me alone!
I finally figured it out.
The culprit who killed...
Who are you?
Kim Jae Won.
