A guy named Park Young Soo...
with National Tax Service, a very persistent investigator.
He was Do Ji Han's resource.
Get rid of him.
That jerk, Baek Beom, solved both of the cases!
Angiokeratoma?
Do you know angiokeratoma?
But is it possible for the patient to have symptoms...
at one point and not have them later?
You're writing a novel.
Or you should prove it yourself...
if you can.
I miss working in the Special Division.
We three had the time of our lives.
If it wasn't for Wangho case,
you wouldn't have been kicked out from the Criminal Division.
Hey, the past is in the past.
You should focus on Sungjin.
You need to watch out for them.
I came to tell you to watch out.
- Me? - It seems like Sungjin...
and Assistant Prosecutor General No have been making deals for a while.
Since the latter was so sly, he was never caught.
Oh Man Sang was the problem.
Because of him, No has been overextending himself...
and have gotten himself in this pickle.
Chief Prosecutor Gal who was brought from the countryside...
is also a part of it.
If we get to the bottom of this,
the prosecution will take a hit as well.
Hey. Sungjin is still...
a very powerful group. They're not pushovers.
Fine, fine.
We won't back down this time.
We're well-prepared for this.
Good. I trust in you.
Get home safe.
And tell her I said hi.
Okay. Get home safe.
Hey, honey. I'm on my way home.
Your uncle called just now.
He did? Why?
Your father's grave was dug.
What? My father's grave?
All right. I'll have to go there early in the morning.
(Mart)
Yes, Uncle.
Of course.
I should come here.
I'm sorry I can't go there right now.
It's fine. I can manage on my own.
Uncle, did...
Did a boar do this?
I've never seen anything like that either.
I don't think...
a wild animal did that.
You don't think a person did this, do you?
I should fill the hole up for today and mend it later on.
Gosh, I shouldn't have called you when you were so busy.
It's really fine. You should get back to work now. Goodbye.
I'll introduce you...
to your grandchild this Thanksgiving.
Hello, Do Ji Han speaking.
Hello, sir. This is Eun Young.
Hi, Eun Young.
I heard you'll be expecting soon. Have you been well?
I'm sorry to disturb you when you're so busy.
Young Soo left the house early in the morning...
to drop by his father's grave before going to work.
But I can't reach him.
He didn't show up for work either.
He didn't show up?
Did he go there alone?
You should focus on Sungjin.
You need to watch out for them.
If we get to the bottom of this,
the prosecution will take a hit as well.
Where is his father's grave?
(Subject)
Wait a minute.
What brings you here?
I'm from the Eastern District Office.
Let me confirm his identity.
Young Soo! Goodness.
What in the world happened?
Sir, what's going on?
What happened to Young Soo?
They're conducting a postmortem examination.
His right foot is swollen, and there's a bite mark.
I believe he was bitten by a snake.
"A snake"?
During the summertime, that hill is filled with snakes.
Had he been spotted a bit earlier, he would've lived.
He was bitten by a snake? That's ridiculous!
Other than the bite mark,
he has no other injuries.
Unfortunately, there is nothing else I can tell you.
Sir, his belongings and his phone were found at the scene as well.
His credit cards and cash were still in his wallet.
You should report this accident first...
His body will be...
- sent to the NFS immediately. - Sorry?
"The NFS"?
They will perform an autopsy.
Sir.
Investigator Yang.
No, right? My husband isn't dead, is he?
Sit down first.
- Sit down. - Where is he?
Where is my husband?
No, right?
Tell me it isn't so. Please.
Sir, tell me it isn't so.
Answer me! This can't be!
I've confirmed his body.
No!
No! It can't be!
Young Soo, no!
It can't be!
Don't lie!
Don't lie to me!
(Partners for Justice 2, Episode 13: Venom)
(A poisonous substance created by animals such as...)
(snakes and spiders to cause harm to the opposing animal.)
(National Forensics Service)
Dr. Sally.
They requested analysis for a rape case.
This is the victim's urine,
blood, and hair.
Seeing how the victim suffered memory loss and blacked out as well,
drugs must've been involved.
GHB. Is that what you mean?
Don't look too happy. The NFS has never been able...
to detect it from a body before.
It's one wicked substance.
GHB.
Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid.
It's light in molecular weight yet very potent, so it doesn't...
take long for the substance to exit the body.
In six hours, it'll all be washed out through one's urine.
You know very well.
Even Stella said this bad boy was difficult to detect...
- and gave up. - Oh, is that so?
Leave this here.
I'm feeling extremely motivated.
Yes, Investigator Yang.
We're bringing a body over to you for an autopsy.
Please take care of it quick.
This was an accident, so why did you file it as an emergency?
It's not a criminal case.
Where's Dr. Baek?
(You have a new mail.)
(Sender: No Name)
What is this? A spam mail?
Please perform an urgent autopsy.
Why are you in such a hurry?
(Cause of Death: Snakebite)
"Snakebite"?
I can promise you that this wasn't an accident.
There is enough circumstantial evidence to suspect homicide.
You're the only one...
who can find the truth behind this case.
That's why I'm here.
(Autopsy Report: Park Young Soo)
Do you know this person?
I can't tell you everything in detail.
But he is...
a National Tax Service investigator who looked into public officials...
that were in league with the financial world.
The investigation was almost over.
He was about to make the announcement.
But a snake bit him to death in front of his father's graveyard?
That's why I'm saying it doesn't make any sense.
There is something I am suspicious of.
He definitely fabricated this into an accident.
- Who's he? - You know him.
Sungjin's cleaning man.
The guy who fabricated Oh Man Sang's death...
and faked the spree killing case.
If someone like him tries to kill someone,
no one can stop him.
(Subject: T63.0, Sent by: No Name)
(Korean standard classification of disease and cause of death)
Snake venom?
You should prove it yourself...
if you can.
Goodness, this is odd.
The director said...
it's the first time we had a snake venom case in the NFS.
Anyway, we're all full today.
Should I set up your schedule for tomorrow?
You have to...
do an autopsy on him yourself, right now.
I ask of you.
Goodness, we really can't fit anything in today.
Schedule an autopsy during lunch.
A post-mortem angiography. Run that through first.
Okay.
I got rid of one.
What is this?
Is this his doing?
You said you sent...
Doctor K to a rural area.
You should be thankful. You kept your job thanks to...
Even so!
That's an incumbent officer of the National Tax Service.
This has nothing to do with me.
You two started this,
so you two end this too.
Where do you think you're going? Sit down.
- What? - You can't just leave...
after you receive all the benefits.
We're all on the same boat now.
You have to come with us to the end.
I am sitting here...
on behalf of Chairman Oh Pil Joong of Sungjin Group.
Hey.
So what? What's your plan?
The bomb already went off, so we need to clean it up.
Do you want me to close the case and say it was just an accident?
You need to get a grasp of the situation.
He is...
Do Ji Han's junior, who worked with him since his Special Division days.
Exactly! Deputy Chief Do won't just sit around!
How far are you trying to take this?
That's why we can't clean this up in a regular way.
- Let's use the three-way method. - The three-way method?
First, we have to separate Do from Park Young Soo.
Second, we corner Do Ji Han.
Lastly...
We water it down.
We cover up a scandal with another scandal.
Water it down?
Do you know anything? What are you going to use?
This isn't the first time we have done this.
We have our usual themes.
Celebrity, drugs, and sex.
Chief Prosecutor Gal.
Do we have any cases that we haven't disclosed yet?
We don't even need to look through.
This case just came into Gangdong Police Station this morning.
Drug, rape,
and celebrity.
Everything is all mixed up.
Goodness, look at this.
It looks like they probably have a lot of help in the police.
This is... This case can't even be indicted.
That's why I'm suggesting that we use this.
Once you get started with this, it'll impossible to solve...
like a maze and a black hole.
The case has to be this big to make Do Ji Han nervous.
Getting nervous isn't enough.
We have to make him lose his head.
Hey, Mr. Cha.
You've been bored lately, haven't you?
I'll send you some material.
You need to publish this even before you take a breath.
Chief Prosecutor Gal has nowhere else to run, so he's very active.
Everyone has to hear about this to get him fired later.
I don't want to hear anyone calling him Chief Prosecutor Do.
Well, Do Ji Han can't succeed forever.
He can't turn this case around.
I'll go talk to the people...
at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
Goodness, you two are completely insane, aren't you?
How far will you take this?
Goodness.
Prosecutor Do took the body...
to the NFS himself and began the autopsy.
The Rabid Dog is onto the case just as I expected.
Let's begin our step one.
If...
even one thing goes wrong...
Assistant Prosecutor General.
I already suffered enough damage. What do you think I won't do?
No matter who survives,
we're going to take this to the very end.
This is the blood before we put in the contrast agent.
Tell the Toxic Substances Division to analyze this.
Okay.
- Cannula. - Here you go.
Get the angiography started.
Injecting the contrast agent.
(Assistant Prosecutor General No Han Sin)
Yes, Assistant Prosecutor General.
Chief Prosecutor Do. Where are you right now?
I'm observing an autopsy at the NFS.
Do you have any idea what just happened in your jurisdiction?
A celebrity...
gave GHB to a college student and raped her.
This case was assigned to you.
You need to return right now and start questioning the accuser.
Prosecutor Eun can question the accuser.
I will be there after I finish watching the autopsy.
Whose autopsy is this?
- Park Young Soo of the NTS... - Oh, that case?
I saw the article.
Why are you doing an autopsy on someone who died from a snakebite?
I'll manage this.
- You need to return right now! - No.
I will return after the autopsy.
Listen to that guy.
He wouldn't leave Park Young Soo there and return here.
You can let Prosecutor Eun get started on this.
Mr. Yoo.
- Yes. - Let's take it to step two.
Just get ready to move onto the next step.
I'll manage it nicely and toss it over, so don't worry.
What about the NFS?
I already managed to pull something there too.
They'll be busy...
all day long doing everything at once.
Okay, make sure it looks refined.
What should I do about Chief Prosecutor Do?
Put it down on paper...
and get ready to nitpick over this with him.
I'll use that to behead him.
Ji Han.
Let's go.
Okay. Let's do this.
Chairman Wang Ho Jun, hello.
I'm Prosecutor Do Ji Han of Seoul Eastern District...
Prosecutors' Office, the prosecutor in charge.
I'm Chief Park Young Soo of the Special Prosecution...
and of the National Tax Service.
You don't need to tell me your names.
We aren't that close.
Prosecutor Do.
These are the documents we found yesterday.
This is a lobby diary put together by Chief Park Joo Hoon...
of Strategy Planning Team, who reports directly to you.
He wrote down everything very meticulously.
Everything that was written in this diary...
exactly coincides with the meetings you had...
which your secretary wrote down...
in her notebook.
September 30, 2017.
Chairman Nam Hyeon Tae, Daewoong Capital. Meeting at 2:00pm.
The lobby diary says...
you paid him a bribe of 280,000 dollars.
I don't have to read the rest of it, do I?
There are 13 people whose real names were disclosed.
May I use the restroom?
Yes, sure.
We're almost there, Ji Han.
He can't deny this any further.
After he braces himself, he'll spill the truth...
Hey, what's going on?
- Hey! - What is it? What's going on?
- What? - It's a person.
- What are we going to do? - Goodness.
- Call an ambulance. - What are we going to do?
- Is he okay? - What can we do now?
- Hurry up! - What will happen now?
Close the case.
The diary that Chief Park kept is...
the evidence of Wangho Group's bribery ledger!
Bankers, entrepreneurs, and even incumbent assemblymen!
People who took the bribes, the amount of bribes,
and delivery methods are all written on the ledger!
Are you going against my order?
How could I stop here when I have definite evidence?
People say that Wang Ho Jun died because we targeted him...
and pressured him during the investigation.
Sir, you know better than anyone else that it's not true.
No, our country doesn't know that.
Do Ji Han.
Do you think you can change the world?
Everyone will be off the hook at the expense of his life.
That's how this world works.
I cannot accept it.
(Notice of Transfer)
You should go and get some fresh air.
(Place of Transfer: Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office)
Come on.
Unbelievable.
Ji Han.
This isn't right.
We worked so hard to get that evidence.
Why must we give up instead of taking this to the end?
Young Soo.
This time around, let's take it to the end.
Current time, 12:28am.
I'll start the autopsy.
(Prove one's death.)
Sir, if this is too hard for you...
No.
I will stay until the end.
There are no external injuries except for his ankle.
Right. He looks too clean.
Vascular congestion in the face.
"Vascular congestion in the face."
Intraocular hemorrhage.
"Intraocular hemorrhage."
Conjunctival hemorrhage.
"Conjunctival hemorrhage."
Bleeding in the gums.
"Bleeding in the gums."
Loupe.
The skin abrasion on his left nostril.
"The skin abrasion on his left nostril."
Dr. Baek, people often get that when they blow their nose.
Does your skin get scraped when you blow your nose?
Try it.
Bring the swab kit for the nose.
Bite on the left ankle.
"Bite on the left ankle."
Skin necrosis on the bite site.
"Skin necrosis on the bite site."
- Exudation. - "Exudation."
- Edema. - "Edema".
- Bite mark. - "Bite mark."
These look like the fangs.
Let's trace the mark.
Here you go.
Bring me an illustrated book on reptiles.
Illustrated book on reptiles?
We don't have that.
Search it online then.
We have to compare the fangs.
Okay, I'll search it online.
Dr. Baek, I found it.
I'll put up the image.
(Korean mamushi, rock mamushi, red-tongue pit-viper)
This one isn't it.
No, it's not.
Given the gap between the 3rd and 4th fangs,
I think it's this one.
Rock mamushi.
Do you have to look that up to know which one it is?
We don't have any experience with snakes, so we should.
We don't have that many snakes with a deadly venom in Korea.
And we don't have much information on snake venom either.
It's not like the NFS has a veterinarian on staff.
I heard you were a surgeon.
You have a lot of books on cardiothoracic surgery.
But...
it looks like you don't have any books on snake medicine.
Let me see the angiography.
What's that?
We insert a contrast agent in the vessels before we take the CT scans.
With that, we can see the shape of the blood vessels.
And we'll be able to check the blood vessel's damage with our eyes.
What? What is all this?
This is too much.
His vessels and organs are bleeding. His entire body is bleeding.
But we didn't find any external injuries at all.
How is this possible?
Find injection marks.
There are dozens of places where his blood vessels burst.
How can I find injection marks?
Wait, his blood vessels burst? What do you mean?
We'll know after the autopsy.
Dr. Baek.
I see bleeding here.
Loupe.
No, I don't see any injection mark.
It looked like it burst because of an injection.
This is going nowhere.
We must find any suspicious bleedings.
Put on the loupe and find them as I call them out.
- Yes, sir. - Darn it.
I'm in front of the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office...
where Kang Jun Seo who was accused...
of drugging and raping a female college student will appear shortly.
This morning, the news of the lawsuit spread.
The movie he starred in was postponed indefinitely.
And it was announced that he would be edited out...
on every show he stars on.
And even his fan club withdrew their support.
The angry sentiment of the public is evident...
even at Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.
- He's coming! - He's here. Cut it.
- Here he is. - He's coming.
- Punish him! - Punish him!
Please give us a comment.
- Punish him! - Punish him!
(Punish Kang Jun Seo sternly!)
(Out Sexual Offenders!)
I've spent a very difficult time...
until I reached a decision to agree to the investigation.
However, I thought that I must reveal the truth myself,
so I am here.
As a public figure and a man, Kang Jun Seo,
I can tell you this and put my honor on the line.
I am...
innocent.
Are you telling us you didn't rape her?
I heard drug was involved. Is it true it's GHB?
Do you admit to the charges?
Everything will be revealed during the investigation.
He'll cooperate to the best he can.
This is all.
- Is there anything else? - Hey, take his photos.
Take his photos from there!
His eyes look like those rotten eyes of a frozen pollack now.
If I were to read his fortune by observing his face,
I'm sure that jerk is the culprit.
I love you!
It's been a while, Prosecutor Eun Sol.
I'm sure you have a lot on your plate.
We came here voluntarily to lessen your workload.
Say hello.
Hello. I'm Kang Jun Seo.
I'm sure the protocol states we investigate the plaintiff first.
Please wait for now.
My client isn't used to waiting.
Even if he's not used to waiting,
come with me.
He pled that he was innocent with tears. Was that the same guy?
I guess he's an actor indeed.
Why did he dress up today? Is this a red carpet or what?
But he's handsome.
Hey, you said earlier that his eyes looked rotten.
32nd.
Bleeding in the left brachialis.
None. I only see a mole.
Are there more?
No more.
You couldn't find an injection mark?
None at all.
There are no external injuries, so of course, there's none.
You said there were no external injuries,
but how come there are so many bleedings in the CT scan?
Given the bleedings, it's possible that he was poisoned to death.
- Stop writing a novel. - What's the cause of the bleedings?
Turn off the microphone.
Forget it.
Scalpel.
I'm going to check his stomach. Scissors.
Here you go.
- Dr. Baek, what's wrong? - Are you all right?
My gosh, what's that smell? It stinks.
(Episode 26)
Gosh, I can smell it from here.
It smells awful even with a mask on. Are you all right?
What is it? What's going on?
Did you find poison in his stomach?
Bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
"Bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract."
Everything in the stomach is liquid.
"Everything in the stomach is liquid."
My gosh, that's alcohol. Why does it stink so much?
The alcohol has been mixed with mold.
- Mold? - Wait, could it be...
grain wine?
The mold helps the wine...
get fermented.
This isn't grain wine.
It's yeast.
Gosh, I get it now. This is clear rice wine.
Why is the smell of clear rice wine important here?
As for clear rice wine,
its unique smell of yeast is overpowering.
That smell conceals everything else.
On top of that, given the amount,
I thought I was going to lose my sense of smell.
Dr. Baek, are you all right? The tip of my nose is tingling.
But this...
is going to hide all the rest of smells...
even if he consumed poison or drugs.
Sir, that means Dr. Baek's perfect sense of smell has been neutralized.
Well, you didn't know when you put your nose in there.
But why was it clear rice wine?
Send everything in his stomach for a detailed analysis.
Tell her to work with a fixed amount for alcohol and drugs.
Yes, sir.
And the outfit Park Young Soo was wearing when he died.
Swab the whole outfit and analyze for substances.
Okay. I got it.
Print out related references...
and papers on snake venom and bring them to my room.
"A bite by a venomous snake is accompanied..."
"with bleeding, blood congestion in the face,"
"and bleeding in the organs and the entire body."
"Bleeding, blood congestion in the face..."
Dr. Baek.
This reference is from Mexico.
This is from Australia. We got more references from Australia.
Sort the bites out in accordance to the body parts.
Upper body, lower body, torso, and heels. Sort them out.
- Okay. - Okay.
Dr. Baek, but Prosecutor Do and Investigator Yang are waiting.
Tell them to wait.
Mr. Yoo and Kang Jun Seo...
are waiting in the interrogation room.
Ma'am,
why are there so many articles already?
I'm really scared.
I didn't think this would get this much attention.
I know this is hard,
but this isn't something you can just let it slide.
Please tell us what happened to you.
My friend...
asked me to go clubbing with her because we were done with our exams.
A waiter from the club brought me to the room.
- Where did you get that? - It looks nice.
- I'm so jealous. - This is awesome.
- You're so handsome. - No way.
- Thank you. - I want one too.
All right. Here they are.
Enjoy your night.
It's Kang Jun Seo.
What? You've never seen a celebrity before?
Everyone went out to dance, and it was only us in the room.
Have a drink.
No, I'm fine.
Gosh, what was I thinking?
It's rude to offer drinks like this these days.
Here.
This is new, so it's okay, right?
He definitely gave me a new one.
I never thought that he would put drugs in it.
Scumbags.
He put it in a new cup of coffee to get you to lower your guard.
These jerks secretly make a hole with a syringe...
and inject drugs into the coffee.
Unbelievable.
Do you always cut your nails that short?
This?
My nails were cut short after I woke up.
Prosecutor Eun.
- This is fishy. - Pardon?
Usually,
the assailant's epidermal cells...
are found underneath the victim's nails the most.
There's a possibility that he might have cut them on purpose.
What about Dr. Baek?
Why is it taking so long?
Well, Dr. Baek...
is reading references on snake venom from all over the world at once.
It means it's unprecedented, right?
First of all, less than five people in Korea...
die from snake bites every year.
And since all of them are considered accidents,
you must have no autopsy data on them.
Dr. Baek.
Do you have an autopsy report?
Young Soo didn't die from snake venom, right?
He didn't, right?
Dr. Baek.
As for his external injuries, we only have...
one bite mark from the snake.
And as for the bleeding in his entire body,
it was snake venom.
It was caused by hemotoxin and neurotoxin.
It's a typical reaction from the combination of the two.
"A typical reaction"?
I've never seen someone...
die from snake venom during my 11 years here.
That's why I must rely on the discovered knowledge.
But someone could still murder him without leaving external injuries.
Small swelling.
Bleedings in his entire body and organs due to the vessel damage.
Hemotoxin caused skin necrosis.
Vascular congestion in the face.
The cause of the intraocular hemorrhage...
was suffocation due to the neurotoxin.
Neurotoxin paralyzes the respiratory organs which caused his death.
And the snake with both hemotoxin and neurotoxin in Korea is...
rock mamushi.
Are you telling me that Young Soo died from a snake bite?
Wait. Listen. To disguise a murder as an accident,
someone could have set up the snake bite.
Will the snake bite a man if you give 10 million dollars?
It's impossible.
Snake venom isn't something we can control.
What about the dry bite?
It means a non-poisonous bite.
It refers to snake bites when the snake doesn't release venom.
Snakes don't release venom for every bite.
I thought we could find something from the autopsy.
You're telling us that you didn't find anything except the snake bite.
I have the results for the blood.
As for enzymatic proteins,
I found phospholipase A, protease, endonuclease, L amino-acid oxidase.
For non-enzymatic proteins,
I found hemolysin, neurotoxin, and cytolysin.
- What does it mean? - In a nutshell, it's snake venom.
Snake venom.
It matches the conclusion of the autopsy.
One more thing.
The blood alcohol content...
in Park Young Soo's blood was 0.24 percent.
So does it mean he was drunk?
On the scene, they found two bottles of alcohol.
It's probably clear rice wine.
The alcohol content in good clear rice wine can go up to 15 percent.
It's a strong liquor.
You know that once I start a new operation, I stop drinking.
There's no way.
He doesn't drink a drop of alcohol during the tax investigation period.
Please gather the fingerprints and the DNA on the bottles.
And check if they are his.
What remains in the body don't lie.
The symptoms we found on his body during the autopsy...
match the poisonous substances she found in his blood.
The cause of death. Suffocation due to the paralysis...
of the respiratory system from the neurotoxin.
Then...
he wasn't murdered?
You're asking the wrong question.
"Are there any signs that someone was involved in his death?"
None, yet.
I haven't found it yet.
What?
What did you say?
Okay.
What is it?
A burglar...
broke into my house.
"A burglar"?
How dare they?
They're being reckless now, aren't they?
Eun Young.
Go to your parents' place.
I'll check out your house.
Sir.
There's...
There's something more to this, right?
This is related to Sungjin that Young Soo was investigating,
isn't it?
We're looking into it right now.
But look. You shouldn't be thinking about this right now.
You need to relax.
Sir.
I feel so sorry for my husband.
Please find out the truth behind his wrongful death.
That way,
he can rest in peace.
Ma'am.
We will resolve this no matter what.
Can you look through these?
Their computer, home appliances, and some jewelry are missing.
They made a mess.
Did you check the CCTV footage?
The camera at the entrance of the apartment had nothing.
I think the culprit climbed up the pipes and through the window.
If they really did that, they must be a professional.
But come on.
Do you think a professional would target this house?
Professionals wouldn't have made such a mess.
In order to minimize their stay,
they'd conclude the robbery in less than five minutes.
It is a professional's doing, indeed.
But they had a different motive.
Did you say they stole a computer?
They only stole the desktop.
- Ji Han. - Hey.
I think the culprit was after their computer.
Hey.
This is a top secret.
But they got to the NTS too.
They said it was a Chinese hacker's doing.
They infiltrated the server...
and deleted all of Park Young Soo's and his teammates' hard drives.
Can you restore them?
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office's forensic team is working on it,
but it won't be easy.
What was the crucial evidence that Young Soo had?
We can't give up here just because it's gone.
You should stop there.
How could I? They killed him.
It was an accident.
Is that what you truly think?
Prosecutor Do.
That's enough.
This feels ominous.
Bye.
- Yes? - Dr. Baek has something to say.
- It's urgent. - I'm on my way.
Did you get anything?
Look here.
"T63.0"?
What? What is that?
The disease code is snake venom.
- "Snake venom"? - I got this mail this morning.
When was this mail sent?
9:27am.
What?
Young Soo's body was found at 9:51am.
The forensic found no information on the sender.
The account cannot be tracked either.
This proves it!
That scumbag is the only one who'd do something like this!
Did the deceased look into Sungjin Group?
Yes.
But it's strange.
The culprit didn't need to do anything,
and this case would've been declared an accident.
So why did he send you this mail?
What is that scumbag trying to say? What could it be?
What does he want?
He sent us a mail beforehand on how he killed Young Soo.
And he also used snake venom that was unfamiliar to Dr. Baek?
Don't you think...
he's picking a fight with you?
- What fight? - He's challenging you.
He wants you to solve this case that was disguised as an accident.
But why did he choose you?
Wait a minute.
You smelled that foul smell during the autopsy.
What if he already knew that you didn't wear masks...
during your autopsies and fed Young Soo clear rice wine?
Doesn't that mean he's seen you perform an autopsy before?
Has anyone unrelated to the NFS, the prosecution, and the police...
observed your autopsy recently?
Yes.
Who was it?
You have someone in mind, don't you?
Do you remember Lee Doo Chil, Seo Hyun's kidnapper?
When I was carrying out his autopsy,
a doctor from the emergency center was present.
- Dr. Jang Cheol? - Yes, him.
We're going to analyze every part of his body...
to find out where he was.
He was the one who performed surgery on the woman from the spree killing.
He's related to Seo Hyun's kidnapping as well.
After you found her, why didn't you bring her here immediately?
I took her home to stabilize her body temperature.
It doesn't sound very logical.
All that I did was save the girl.
Since when were you suspecting him?
Why does that matter?
Focus on your work.
I'll focus on the autopsies.
Did you call for me?
Yes.
I told you to wait in the interrogation room,
so why are you here?
There's something I need to tell you.
Prosecutor Do, the one in charge of our case, is nowhere to be seen.
Chief Prosecutor Gal is suspended for now.
So what could I do? This was the only place I could be.
You know what?
I didn't want to welcome an attorney who was related...
to our case into my office.
But what could I have done?
Everyone else is gone.
Well...
Is there something you need to tell me?
I heard you were investigating the accuser.
- That's correct. - I request a cross-examination.
"A cross-examination"?
I'd like to hear her side of the story.
Given that this is a rape case,
the victim may not want to meet her assailant.
But if she has nothing to hide,
she'd be open to meet, wouldn't she?
This is an official request, ma'am.
Prosecutor Eun.
First, you should ask the victim about her opinion.
Yes, sir. I'll speak with her.
One more thing.
Will you conduct the cross-examination...
without the prosecutor in charge?
That's not right.
Tell Deputy Chief Do to come here.
Hey.
Sir, there will be a cross-examination...
for the GHB Case.
The accused, Kang Jun Seo, and Lawyer Yoo Tae Jun...
- are here. - He's the lawyer?
Yes.
When will you come back?
You must be here for the cross-examination.
Look. You'll have to conduct it yourself.
I need to be somewhere right now.
Take your time...
before interrogating them.
Yes, sir.
You want me to tire them out before the interrogation, right?
You know well.
Prosecutor Eun, I owe you one.
No problem.
When is he coming?
It'll take some time.
Let's conduct the cross-examination in a little while.
All right.
That kid will only begin to fear the prosecution...
once he's forced to wait for a long time.
Look at how brazen he looks.
Goodness.
Since the majority of rape happen...
in enclosed areas, it's difficult to find any evidence.
He probably came here willingly...
to forestall us.
(Hanjoo Hospital)
Excuse us.
What's going on? We're from the Eastern District Office.
Do you know where Dr. Jang Cheol is?
He resigned.
What?
(Jang Cheol)
Come on.
Does it make any sense that you have no files on him?
Two days ago, we deleted all our unnecessary documents.
I think his files got mixed up with the others.
What about the ones on computers?
Our network was hacked recently, so all our files are gone.
Why is everyone getting hacked left and right these days?
Do you know anything about his past?
How would I?
He was a random doctor who came here through pulling strings.
- "Pulling strings"? - The ER wasn't hiring anyone,
but he suddenly appeared from nowhere.
When was that?
I think it was around February.
Come on. Did he not mention any hospitals...
that he used to work at before coming here?
He was never the chatty type.
From hacking to deleting documents,
this is definitely not a coincidence.
Dr. Jang...
I mean, Doctor K is well-hidden.
I'm pretty sure someone is behind him.
How about his phone?
Can you track his current whereabouts?
No, his phone is turned off. He's pretty much off the grid.
How can we find him?
There's no way since we know nothing about him.
Hold on.
I know one thing.
What?
What? They are already at Hanjoo Hospital?
Like you said, I got rid of all the related documents and data.
Okay.
Why do you keep lurking around that place?
I told you to leave Seoul completely!
This isn't what you promised!
Why are you dying to send me away?
Do Ji Han...
already found out who you are...
and came to the hospital to ask about you.
You've been caught!
Why?
Are you nervous to meet your father for the first time in your life?
Is he that dear to you because he's your family?
You aren't a guy who has such feelings.
We have the evidence already.
- It's... - You killed your mom, didn't you?
You killed your mom.
You didn't go to prison...
because I turned a blind eye to your case. Be grateful.
I still have the case file for your mom's case.
Do it.
Let's see what happens.
Anyway,
be careful for a while.
Even if you do get caught,
we're strangers, okay?
Assistant Prosecutor General. Ask the prosecutor...
who gives warrants if Do Ji Han requested a seizure warrant himself.
I've been a bit busy.
Did I keep you waiting?
This is awful.
Do you know how long it has been...
It's fine.
I got to spend some quiet time thanks to you.
I just have too many people clinging onto me...
in my everyday life.
Goodness, listen to the way he speaks.
He shouldn't be like that right now.
Does he have a connection?
Okay, then. Let us begin.
Mr. Kang Jun Seo.
You met Ms. Ahn Ji Hye...
in a VIP room of Club M-Seven.
When she refused to drink,
you offered some coffee to her.
I drink canned coffee to sober up every now and then.
Why do you think...
Ms. Ahn blacked out after she had that coffee?
She was...
already very drunk when she came into the room.
I've never met a celebrity in real life.
This is so cool. Do you want a drink?
You look pretty drunk.
You should stop drinking. Have some of this.
He's lying.
That's what I want to say.
Then please tell us...
what happened on that day.
I really don't remember anything.
Then how do you know that he's lying?
You can't remember anything.
No.
I am the one who asks questions...
in a cross-examination.
Prosecutor, then may I keep talking?
I remember everything.
Sure, go ahead.
I didn't think you would believe me...
no matter what I said.
So I prepared some things with the help of my attorney.
- What? - What's that?
There is nothing like seeing it for oneself.
She's smiling and walking down by herself.
She's the one who opened the door too.
Do you see a woman...
who was drugged, taken away, and raped against her will?
This is me?
No, this can't be right.
Wait.
She looks completely fine after she took the GHB.
Even when you get drugged, your sense of balance is fine,
so you never fall over when you walk.
It's completely different from getting drunk. Then she will...
completely get knocked out at once.
But this is going to make things quite difficult.
You need to stop lying.
- You look excited. - What?
You drugged me!
You said you were my fan.
She looked awfully drunk,
so I booked her a room out of goodwill.
It looks like the prosecution don't have any evidence.
May I check one more thing?
Mr. Kang.
Can you roll up your sleeves?
What? Why?
Do you have a reason why I cannot see your arms?
Are we good?
You're completely waxed.
And you bleached your hair.
Prosecutor, you even know my recent hairstyle? Are you my fan?
Prosecutor Eun, I had no idea that you were Mr. Kang's fan.
You should have told us.
He could have given you an autograph.
According to Kang Jun Seo's counsel,
he has already turned in evidence of his innocence...
to the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.
Now, the accuser, Ms. Ahn, must prove...
that she has been drugged by him.
The eyes and ears of the entire nation is...
focused on the analysis result of the National Forensics Service.
Our civil service center is...
bombarded with calls from people asking when we'll have the analysis.
Yes.
Yes, Minister.
- Oh, that? - "Minister"?
Our Toxic Substances Division is...
currently conducting a thorough analysis.
Of course. Yes, sir.
Did the minister just call because of the GHB case?
People are demanding that the culprit gets punished.
So they want us to come to a conclusion.
The vice-minister will be sent here later.
The vice-minister too?
Things are getting out of hands.
Hey, Fatso. What happened to detecting the GHB?
I doubt it'll be easy.
Dr. Sally was very confident...
that she will detect the drug.
Director Park, then...
I will take charge of accompanying the vice minister...
and the analysis process...
- to make sure we have the result. - Okay.
- May I leave? - Dr. Baek.
Can you take charge of two other autopsies...
that we have left?
We're doing those too?
You need to do some too.
Hey, didn't you just hear him?
I just got busy.
Take care of the rest of the autopsy.
Fatso, let's go.
Hurry up and come.
Dr. Sally.
What happened to detecting the GHB?
Can't you see that I'm onto it right now?
- You don't have the result yet? - Dr. Sally.
You were so confident before. You haven't found it?
The vice-minister will be here later.
We have to have the result by then.
Do you have the detailed analysis of Park Young Soo's gut content?
Not yet.
Why didn't you do it?
Are you talking about the snakebite case?
You conducted an autopsy over an accidental death for three hours.
Why did you run a detailed analysis?
It's my autopsy. None of your business.
Forget it. Dr. Sally.
The GHB case is the priority. It's the most urgent.
Park Young Soo's case is urgent too.
Ministry of Public Administration and Security is behind the GHB case.
- The snakebite is more important. - Enough!
Will you all get out of here? I'll manage this.
No, I'm going to sit here until you have the result.
Isn't the vice-minister coming? Aren't you going to get ready?
You're right. I can't just sit here.
Hey, Dr. Sally. The GHB case is an emergency.
- Come with me, Fasto. - Yes!
I'm sorry, Dr. Baek.
I'll detect the GHB first, then work on Mr. Park's case.
Darn it.
The search and seizure warrant Chief Prosecutor Do requested.
(Search and Seizure Warrant Request)
(Jang Cheol)
Assistant Prosecutor General No. You have to turn this warrant down.
What is it?
How dare you order me around? Do you think you're my boss?
This is...
Doctor K's house.
What? Doctor K?
Hey, you said no one will find out who Doctor K is!
You said you'll control him!
I didn't think...
Do Ji Han could come after him so quickly.
You were so confident before,
but you ended up making a mess out of this.
If you have time to shout at me, you need to turn the warrant down!
I'm not sure if you have heard,
but autopsies conducted at NFS helped bring out the truth...
behind the spree killing case and the kidnapping case.
This is the lab for Toxic Substances Division,
where we are analyzing the biogenic substance...
per request of Gangdong Police Station.
The doctors of Substances Division in the NFS are...
already world-renowned, aren't they?
Yes, you're right.
Oh, no!
Why can't I find this?
What the heck is this? It can't be happening to me.
Dr. Sally, what is it? What's wrong?
What's going on here?
I can't find the GHB even after three analysis.
There's nothing in the urine, hair, or blood.
Nothing, nothing, totally nothing.
Maybe something went wrong.
Chief Ma.
Ms. Ahn was found negative for the semen test.
What?
Wait. You didn't find any semen either?
(Gangdong Police Station, Rape, Semen test result: Negative)
Hello, sir.
Sit down. Connect me to him.
Okay.
Prosecutor Eun, I received a reply from the NFS.
They didn't find any GHB or semen from the accuser's body.
Send Mr. Kang Jun Seo home right now.
- Sir, that's... - Gosh.
- What is it this time? - Where are you?
- You can't go home. - What?
Do Ji Han is heading there. You must hide now.
Yes, Do Ji Han speaking.
I turned down the search warrant...
that you requested.
You turned it down?
The Civil Servant Case from National Tax Service.
Paju Police Station already closed the case as an accident.
You can't request to issue a warrant for that case.
It's a house of an individual that has ties to the case.
Do you have proof?
How could you request the warrant without providing enough evidence?
Come back to the office now.
Don't you dare think about going in.
What? He turned down the warrant?
I can't believe this. We're at the house!
Will they issue the warrant if we bring evidence?
This is driving me crazy.
We're right here. We can't just barge in there. What should we do?
What on earth is at this house...
for him to stop me like this?
Let's go back for now.
Darn it.
Let's go, Prosecutor Do.
No, no! Prosecutor Do!
(Partners for Justice 2)
He got the warrant issued after the search and seizure.
After the search? That jerk!
Business trip? Why would you go there?
You're close friends with Jang Cheol from Hanjoo Hospital.
I didn't give you my approval for the business trip.
You can't stop me now.
This is an order from the chief prosecutor.
I don't see why I should follow your order.
Why is Park Young Soo's body still at the NFS?
Do your job right.
What? Let's follow the protocol, at least.
Stop the autopsy now.
Get your hands off him. Why are you doing this?
Escort Dr. Baek out.
- Take out the body. - No!
