Sign (Ssain / 싸인)

= Episode 17 =-

Quickly go to Kang Seo Yeon's apartment.

Find the blue cushion.

We must find the cushion before the police do!

Have you contacted the Prosecutors' Office?

We've been trying our best to reach them.

And?

Because it is a hefty situation, they've been ignoring our calls.

Are they trying to defy me?

Is there a problem? You guys are not allowed to enter here without a permit.

This is a warrant issued by the Seoul East prosecutors' office.

Please excuse me.

The blue cushion that Kang Seo Yeon used to murder Seo Yoon Hyung.

Are there any specifics?

Deep blue.

The CCTV footage shows it in a shopping bag.

The size is about 30x30 cm.

It's embroidered with the English initials of Seo Yoon Hyung and Kang Seo Yeon.

I've seen it in a photo.

It's a photo when Kang Seo Yeon and Seo Yoon Hyung were still happily in love.

You're going to NFS, aren't you?

Let me give you a ride.

No thanks. I'll use my own car.

Why?

Are you afraid that I'll snatch the textile sample that belongs to the Seo Yoon Hyung case?

Don't worry, I'm not here to fight with you.

I'm here to make a deal with you.

That's it.

Those are Seo Yoon Hyung and Kang Seo Yeon English initials.

However this is not enough.

Do you have the fiber sample from Seo Yoon Hyung's trachea.

What deal are we talking about?

At the time of the Seo Yoon Hyung case,

You were working as a police officer.

By using your status as a civil servant, you entered the exhibit storeroom,

and stole the fiber sample.

Concealing evidence of a crime is illegal.

You know that, right?

Are you threatening me?

It's not a threat. I'm just stating a fact.

I can use it as a reason,

to revoke your medical examiner's license.

The day of Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy...

was the first time I met you, Director.

That day ...

Your words made me want to become a medical examiner.

"This person..."

"Why and how did he die?"

"Our duty is to the find the answer without any prejudice or self interest."

"The pressure of the public's opinion and sentiments,"

"individual's greed or any proposal..."

"cannot affect the examination results."

"We are the last hope of the deceased."

Perhaps you, Director,

think that Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon is an idealist.

He's not.

Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon's thinking,

is the right way to me.

I...

I want to become a medical examiner like Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon.

If you want to revoke my license,

do it.

If I must conceal the truth to keep my license,

I will give up being a medical examiner.

Give up being a medical examiner?

In that case...

What about your sister?

I heard that she needs a heart transplant.

Dr. Go Da Kyung isn't answering?

I was on the phone with her earlier, so she may be on her way to NFS.

It's been 5 years, but you haven't given up on her.

It must have been hard for you.

Is there anything more valuable than a heart?

If you give me the sample ...

then ...

I can offer you ...

a final chance.

Doctor!

Has Dr. Go Da Kyung come?

We haven't seen her, sir.

What is it? Prosecutor Jung and Detective Choi, too.

And Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon.

If it's those people, something big certainly is going on.

Let's take a look!

Should we?

Hey...I have an autopsy to perform...

I am Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin from Seoul East.

It's a case where the suspect is on the run.

It's very urgent.

I just received a phone call about it. This is it?

Yes!

But what case does this item belong to?

We suspect that this cushion was used 1 year ago as the weapon in the Seo Yoon Hyung murder case.

It's very urgent.

Ah...

That thing killed Seo Yoon Hyung?

Seo Yoon Hyung didn't die of cyanide.

But wasn't there supposed to be another sample?

= Attorney Jang =-

Director, how did it go?

Did you get the fiber sample?

Go Da Kyung.

Dr. Da Kyung, where's the sample?

Here.

Are you all right?

Yes!

She rejected the last chance...

to save her sister.

And you just let her get away?

Now what?

If the sample is examined ...

It's the end.

There should be an end to this.

Now...

It should all be settled.

The rules say that you can't be here.

We're just looking out of curiosity.

But still ...

Ah really, are you going to be like this?

I have been working here for 10 years.

When you add me, it's 17 years. Continue.

How about it?

The shape and size of the fibers are consistent.

But I have to do an infrared analysis to be sure.

That will take about 30 minutes.

Yes.

Go Da Kyung.

Go Da Kyung.

Is anything happened?

I ...

I've always acted like my sister is already dead.

So, if I receive a phone call saying Da Hee is dead ...

I won't feel sad.

However...

There is still hope in my heart for her recovery.

It's been five years.

Even if she had a heart transplant now ...

she would still be in coma.

Even so, I'm still hopeful.

Actually...

Director Lee Myung Han came to see me.

What did he say ?

He said he would save my sister.

I don't know how he knows about her.

He said he would arrange a transplant for my sister...

if I gave him the sample.

To be honest, I couldn't do it.

I was tempted, although I knew it wasn't right ...

but...

I wanted to save my sister.

I was wrong.

If I had done things right, you would not have this kind of problem.

If I had finished this case well ...

this wouldn't have become so complex.

It was my mistake.

I'm sorry.

Did it come out?

Please, wait for a while.

Are the results coming out now?

Yes, it's coming out.

The evidence was found in your daughter's apartment ...

and transferred to NFS.

The opposition party is preparing a press conference.

Now, it's time for you to make a decision, sir.

How...

How did I end up in this situation...

Are you all right?

Will this be all right?

No.

It's gonna be alright.

I have cried enough to forget.

My sister will be all right, too.

She is strong like me. She'll survive.

Also, if Da Hee had known about this situation ...

she would have agreed with me.

That's great.

I wouldn't be able to make the same decision that you did.

Great, really great.

I told your father before...

that you are a good medical examiner.

And I will tell him again...

that you are a first-class medical examiner.

The result has come out.

It's inconsistent.

The cushion and the fiber sample...

have totally different composition.

What?

What?

What do you mean?

What is the inconsistency?

This is the blue cushion's analysis chart.

This is the fiber sample Dr. Go Da Kyung brought.

Impossible! This can't be!

Resign as candidate?

That won't be necessary, sir

Is the result certain?

It's certain.

Did you inspect it accurately?

The result is not wrong.

That's impossible.
