Partners for Justice (Investigation Couple / Gumbeobnamnyeo / 검법남녀)

In a toilet at Gimpo Airport,

a man was found dead.

It could be MERS.

I can't do this.

- Soo Yeon, where are you going? - What's wrong?

From now on, no one can enter or exit the autopsy room.

I get that you want to find out why he died,

but I'm... I'm scared.

What if it was a homicide? We're letting the killer get away.

Then what do I need to do?

Do you know how to use that?

What's wrong?

What is it?

I think I cut myself.

What? Blood?

You're bleeding? Prosecutor Eun, are you all right?

How did you get the cut?

If you got it from the used scalpel, you'll be in great danger!

Darn it.

I knew something bad was going to happen. Come on, Dr. Psycho!

- What if she gets infected? - Come on, do something. Please?

It's not a used scalpel. Let me see.

No, I think I'll be fine.

- Let me see. - I just need to put on a Band-Aid.

Come here.

- Don't be such a crybaby. - But it hurts!

- You just said you were fine. - Unbelievable.

Stay still.

- Bring me the suture kit. - Will you stitch it in there?

- Yes. - What?

What? You're going to stitch it up?

I can't let the cut stay open. Hold this tightly.

Prosecutor Kang.

Sol! Are you all right?

- Hyun. - How did this happen?

She was on the ladder, and she put her hand in a wrong spot.

I was helping him with the autopsy.

What? You were helping him?

It all happened because Dr. Psycho forced her to help him.

I'm Prosecutor Kang Hyun from Seoul Eastern District.

I'm Director Park Joong Ho of the NFS.

What do you mean she was helping him with the autopsy?

I was just taking some photos. I messed up. I'm fine.

Don't you think treating her cut is our first priority?

I'm sending you the suture kit, disinfectant, and saline solution.

He's going to treat her in there?

Not treating her is more dangerous.

The cut is deep.

Will that be okay? There's a corpse in the same room.

We don't have another choice.

Darn it.

Be patient. It'll be under anesthesia.

You crashed into it on purpose.

You wanted to kill your fiancee who had changed her mind about you.

That's why you lost your mind and wanted to kill her!

Stop that right now!

You killed with those hands!

- What? - My gosh.

Don't exaggerate. It's under anesthesia.

Every medical examiner at the NFS is a doctor.

You have nothing to worry about.

You can't control Dr. Baek Beom, can you?

- Are you going to just watch... - Right now,

he's making his decision as a doctor, not a medical examiner.

And I trust his judgment.

Do you think his judgment is worthy of your trust?

Yes.

Hey, Seong Joo.

What did he just say?

Did he say Baek killed someone? He killed a person?

- What did he mean by that? - I don't know.

But I thought...

you had a problem with your hands.

- That was just my guess. - Do you know why I go to the range?

- To control your anger? - To prove my hands are fine.

Dr. Park.

We couldn't find Ms. Han Soo Yeon yet.

- You're sure she's in the building? - Yes.

I checked every surveillance camera at the entrance and the exit.

I think she must be hiding somewhere.

Check the surveillance cameras in the building. She has to be in here.

Yes, sir.

Yes, what is it?

- Let me talk to him. - Okay.

Please inform the prosecutor.

- Hello? - I'm Prosecutor Kang Hyun.

- When will we have the results? - We won't know right away.

- We'll follow the protocol... - Protocol?

Is locking people up right away your protocol?

Quarantining the infection is the first step according to our system.

Then what about those who were quarantined with the corpse?

Would you have done the same if that person was your family?

It's chaotic at the airport too.

He was in touch with more than just a couple of people.

This is an emergency for us too.

We must stop the infection from getting out of the airport,

the trail of the body, and the NFS.

Are you telling me that there's nothing...

you can do for the areas where it has spread?

Controlling the virus from spreading is our first priority.

I understand.

It's all done.

Let's continue.

I hate to be a burden to someone.

Look through the viewfinder.

Pardon?

Don't look at the body with bare eyes. Look through the lens.

That'll be better.

- What are you doing? Take photos. - Sorry?

- Soo Yeon! - Soo Yeon!

Where are you, Soo Yeon?

- Soo Yeon! - Ms. Han!

- Soo Yeon. - Soo Yeon.

Ms. Han!

- Soo Yeon. - Soo Yeon.

Soo Yeon!

Come on, where did she go? She's driving me crazy.

Hey, Seo Hyun.

Mommy is so sorry.

I'll be there soon.

Play there for a while longer. Okay?

All my friends left.

- Whom should I play with? - Put your teacher on the phone.

It's my mom.

Hello?

Hello.

I'm so sorry. I always do this to you.

Could you please look after her once again?

No one can pick her up right now.

Are you aware that we had a class with their dads?

Seo Hyun didn't join the class.

I found her crying in the bathroom by herself.

Please get here soon.

We have to get off work too.

Yes, I understand.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry to do this every time.

Yes, all right. I'm sorry.

Mommy will come home soon. Just wait a little longer.

Don't cry.

It's okay. Look at me.

- Don't cry. - Mommy...

- Rib cutter. - Pardon?

(Rib cutter: a machine that cuts through ribs)

Those that look like pincers. The biggest one.

Yes, those.

(Smoking gun: conclusive evidence of an action or an assumption)

- Look. Listen carefully. - Okay.

Heart. Left lung. Right lung. Liver. Spleen. Stomach. Pancreas.

Left kidney. Right kidney.

That's the order of evisceration. Make sure you get it on camera.

Heart. Left lung. Right lung.

Liver. Spleen. Stomach. Pancreas.

Left and right kidney. Is that right?

- Yes. You're correct. - Okay.

- You're here, Prosecutor Kang. - Hello.

- What are you doing? - An autopsy.

We need to disclose the cause of death.

How can you conduct an autopsy right now?

Does this make...

- Pulmonary fibrosis. - What?

(Pulmonary fibrosis: a disease in which one's lungs harden)

Write it down on the board for everyone to see. Pulmonary fibrosis.

Pulmonary fibrosis.

Barely any stomach contents.

Barely any stomach contents.

Does he know anyone who lives in Qatar?

He was on a business trip. A local employee was probably with him.

- Get them on the line. - Right now?

Immediately.

Okay.

Look. This is weird.

Do you see the green?

We can't jump to a conclusion with that little evidence.

You can also see some green when a body decomposes.

The local employee is on the line. You can talk to him.

I have a few questions.

How was Mr. Lee when he was there?

Did he say anything about abnormal symptoms?

I'm not sure.

Oh, he did cough a bit.

Dry coughing?

Yes. He kept coughing.

Any blood? Did he spit out any blood?

I'm not sure about that.

Was he ever out of breath?

Let's see. Yes. He said he needed to exercise more.

He'd run out of breath after climbing up a few stairs.

What about the food he brought from Korea? Did he eat them?

I don't know about that.

But there were a few times...

when his wife packed him food for his business trips.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

His lungs were getting destroyed.

That's why he ran out of breath.

Difficulty breathing. Dry coughs. Write those down.

Difficulty breathing. Dry coughs.

Whom does he live with?

His son lives in the rural area,
