In that kind of fire, you won't get any fingerprints.

How did it start?

The victim was sitting in the car when he suddenly caught on fire.

Suddenly? Was it a suicide?

We're looking into the cause.

The witness didn't see any accelerant.

The witness was a homeless man and very drunk.

He said the victim drank something.

Maybe that was an accelerant.

What about a cell phone?

According to the lab, it wasn't a cell battery explosion.

Any other inflammables?

There were a burnt gas burner and a plastic bottle.

We aren't sure if there was any accelerant in the bottle.

Search if there's a will.

Yes, sir.

Do you have an ID on the body?

No.

Everything was burnt to a crisp.

It'll take some time.

- What's that? - This?

- It looks like a belt buckle. - A belt buckle?

Any words from Missing Persons?

No.

Hey, Sang-gil! Did you run the license plate?

It's an unregistered vehicle.

The car's so burnt we can't get any fingerprints.

Hello.

Hi, Eun-young.

Good. You came.

Say hello to Detective Jo.

Hello, sir. I'm Eun-young Cha.

Nice to meet you.

He's your superior. Support him well.

Nice to meet you.

You were a patrol officer?

You don't wanna ride your motorcycle no more?

She worked as a detective briefly.

Take good care of her.

I don't do babysitting.

Sir.

Where should I start?

Wait outside.

Pardon?

There's nothing here for you. Wait outside.

This is a scene of fire.

I'm all burnt inside too.

You know you like it.

What?

You wanted a partner.

And she's cute.

If you think she's cute, you take her.

Hey. You know what we need?

We don't need high-tech tools.

We need a touch of a woman.

Idiot. Shut up!

There's the promotion situation and difficult personality issue.

Try your best to fit in.

Yes sir.

If you need to, amuse him with your charm.

Though you don't seem like the type.

Did you find me?

Are you almost done?

Almost.

This case. You take it.

What?

The other team is busy with other investigations.

Please take the case.

No way.

What?

I said no.

And I don't want the girl either.

What am I to this team? A housekeeper?

Hey.

Wait.

I understand we are classmates.

But I'm your superior in front of the team.

You want me to clean up a simple drop and dead case?

And there's the woman cop thing too.

Everybody's busy.

As a senior, you should help the young ones.

Help me too. I need that promotion.

Fine.

Next time, I'll give you a big case.

I promise. OK?

You are divorced?

You're only thirty years old.

Why did you break up?

We had issues over my work.

What man likes his wife working night shifts?

Why do you wanna do this again?

I love working those night shifts.

Any kids?

None, sir.

Good.

You know all this chasing after criminals.

It's all bullshit.

Even if we lock them up, there are still crimes.

These kids need to be disciplined from the beginning.

Yeah?

You found him?

You go first.

Let go!

Let go of me!

You missed school to play in the gaming center?

You little bastard!

Why do you think I work so hard?

- You little shit! - Fuck!

You can't hit me! What kind of father hits his kids?

Fuck. I didn't tell you to work!

What, you little shit?

What did you just say? You suck!

Shit! Stop it!

Why do you think I put up with all this shit?

You screw up everything.

Sir! Sir, please!

- Let go! - Please stop!

Fuck!

You stop there! Stop!

Stop!

Where's the coroner?

He had to go so he left the record.

Forget what you saw earlier.

He's a good kid. Just going through puberty.

Any fingerprints?

None, sir.

The coroner found a big dog bite on the thigh.

A dog?

That's a deep wound.

And he found drugs in the urine.

Drugs?

It's a new street drug called Haba.

Heard it's very addictive.

He was a druggie.

He was high when he set himself on fire?

Doesn't it look odd to be a suicide?

Odd?

If it was a self-immolation, accelerant would've dripped down

so lower half should've burnt more.

But this one doesn't look it.

You studied a little forensics?

All dead bodies look odd.

Can you work with it?

This is really burnt.

I don't know if I can get anything.

Do your best.

There's no other way to ID the body.

Ok. I'll try.

Since when did homicide hire based on looks?

She's too good looking to be a cop.

We're in the service business too.

As a public servant, what's good is good.

You know?

Please get that data.

We need to notify the family and close the case.

I'm analyzing the cause of death. Go report.

This is a reenactment of the case.

The fire started from the belt?

The point is the belt buckle.

Look here. You see this tar on the belt?

We found Benzoyl peroxide, which is highly flammable.

How did the fire start?

It's like a time bomb.

This is a device inside the buckle.

This is the timer and this is the trigger.

When the timer goes off,

the trigger ignites the benzoyl peroxide powder,

which instantly burns the belt.

What? This is a homicide?

- We got the search warrant. - What?

- Bring a camera and the kit. - Yes, sir.

We're back.

You going out?
