Partners for Justice (Investigation Couple / Gumbeobnamnyeo / 검법남녀)

It's Mr. Seo.

My investigator's in there! Jeong Min's in there!

Other than the head injury and the injection mark,

we found no external traumas.

Sodium pentothal?

I have Mr. Seo's call history from yesterday.

You cannot continue Seo Jeong Min's autopsy.

- Based on what grounds? - Destruction of evidence.

You can't perform the autopsy...

since you killed him.

The last person Mr. Seo called...

was you!

Mr. Baek Beom, you're under arrest...

for the murder of Seo Jeong Min as of now.

You have the right to remain silent...

and to deny saying anything that can be used against you.

You have the right to an attorney.

And you may request a review of legality for confinement...

to the competent court.

What's going on?

Prosecutor Kang, what are you talking about?

Who killed whom?

Please leave, you two.

What about the autopsy?

It's been a while, Dr. Baek.

Let us go.

Let's get ready.

You must remain in the office until the autopsy is over.

Get out. This is my office.

He might destroy evidence, so don't let him touch anything.

Okay.

What happened, Hyun?

The last person Mr. Seo talked to before he died was...

- Baek Beom. - What?

Dr. Baek doesn't have an alibi for last night,

and we found sound evidence too.

The autopsy probably started. Let's go.

Thank you for coming over in such a short notice.

Current time, 10 o'clock on the dot.

I will begin the autopsy.

Right side of the forehead, laceration.

"Right side of the forehead, laceration".

Two needle marks on the brachial artery of left arm.

"Two needle marks on the brachial artery of left arm".

How old do these look?

I'm not sure. But they don't seem too old.

- Take a good picture. - Yes.

Do a close-up too.

Overall, I don't see much external injury...

or any damages done by an external force.

He has short nails too.

Okay. Let's cut him up.

Rib cutter.

(Rib cutter: equipment used to cut through ribs)

Scalpel.

Send this down to Toxic Substances Division.

Let's shave his head.

This is too much, Hyun.

I know.

But you have to watch it.

You must keep your eyes on this...

to reveal the truth.

This is the last story...

that Mr. Seo is telling us.

Around the laceration of his right forehead,

I see bleeding under his scalp...

and linear fraction of skull.

(Bleeding under scalp: Caused by scalp skin damage)

(Linear fraction: A fraction that causes lines on the bone)

I also see subdural hemorrhage where he bled under the scalp.

Does that mean he was severely injured?

(Subdural hemorrhage: Epidural bleeding)

It's too early to say so.

Let us wrap up.

Thank you, Professor Pyo.

Prosecutor Eun Sol of Seoul Eastern District.

I've heard a lot about you.

Nice to meet you, Prosecutor Eun.

- What do you think? - First off,

I don't see anything else other than the head injury...

and the needle marks.

If there was a physical fight,

there should be assault marks or oppression wounds...

that can show how someone else was involved in his death.

But there's nothing like that.

I'll have to refrain from sharing my thoughts...

until we have the result from the Toxic Substances Division.

Yes. I understand.

You said everything was done.

Where else will we find better evidence than this?

- Hyun. - No, it's still not enough.

If we get into this in a hurry and then end up losing him,

- we'll never be able to get him. - There's no way we'll lose him.

The security footage shows that he stole the drugs.

Jeong Min, we're almost there.

Trust me and give me just a little more time.

Take this.

Tomorrow's your birthday.

It's So Hee's birthday already?

Right, you said your birthday is the same day as Ms. Han.

You gave her the same birthday at the orphanage...

because you didn't want her to be made fun of for not knowing the day.

You remembered that?

Jeong Min, I can never give up on Ms. Han's case...

and my brother's case.

I will find out the truth no matter what happens.

Baek Beom, that jerk.

I thought this was enough to get him.

I couldn't protect him.

It's not your fault.

- Don't be so hard on yourself. - It is my fault.

I was too indecisive. I just kept him waiting.

I'll never make the same mistake twice.

Make sure you change the formalin for the fixed tissues.

(Fixed tissues: tissues fixed with formalin)

This is so wrong. It's not like he's a criminal.

What's going on? What are we going to do?

Dr. Baek will be turned into a suspect for this case...

and will be escorted to the prosecutor's office.

He could've gone to the office himself to be questioned.

He is a public official...

who's been working here for 10 years.

Actually, that is exactly why we need to detain him.

He's an expert who has worked at the National Forensic Service...

for over 10 years. He knows everything about forensics.

He may not run away,

but he surely can attempt to destroy evidence.

What?

We should get going too.

Okay.

You two.

Are you really going to do this to Dr. Baek?

This is so wrong.

Well, we are also...

Prosecutor Eun, I'm so sorry that you got hurt last time...

and got stuck in the autopsy room because of me.

But that's my fault.

Dr. Baek even stitched up your hand. Don't you think this is too much?

Prosecutor Eun.

Investigate thoroughly and objectively,

and please reveal the truth.

I promise to do that.

Darn it.

Do you have some lab-made alcohol?

Here it is.

Aren't you angry too? This is just wrong.

Of course. This is an insult to the lab.

This is so insulting.

Exactly.

They shouldn't do this to Dr. Baek.

Total nonsense.

They don't trust my lab results and take all the samples?

- What? - They even took the blood samples.

They did. Those and the tissue samples.

They even cleaned the autopsy room.

As if we'd collect whatever they dropped.

Doctor, stop drinking. I think you had enough.

This?

Oh, no, it's not alcohol. It's mineral water.

Can I have some?

Darn it, it's alcohol.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Seo's call history for the last three months.

Thanks.

Hyun, do you really have to do this?

There's something you don't know.

June 11, 2018.

2pm.

You talked to Mr. Seo.

7:30pm.

You left your home.

You took a taxi...

to Gangil-dong where Mr. Seo lives.

At 8:35pm...

at Gangil Junction,

you got out of the taxi.

Then at 9:05pm,

you entered his apartment block.

There's no security camera on that block.

You must have known already.

But a dashboard camera in a parked car...

was recording at the time.

Jeans and a hoodie.

Based on a comparison with the base of a traffic cone,

the man's shoe size is 285mm.

Isn't that your size?

Mr. Seo opened the door, and you went inside.

I bet that...

you had an argument.

What's the reason?

My sister died because of you!

Tell me! Just tell me.

A medical examiner? You're a medical examiner?

You're a necrophiliac. That's what you are! A necrophiliac!

How many lives did you take?

How many? Tell me yourself.

- Tell me yourself! - Is there evidence?

Evidence?

You're done for. Do you get that?

You're done for.
