Hey, Dr. Baek.

Are you trying to punch a hole on the femur again?

Oh Man Sang's DNA was found...

in the femur of the body from the car accident.

We already concluded that he died a year ago and closed the case.

Hey, that's a lie. Who would believe that?

Hey, he hasn't died yet, has he?

My dad said Oh Man Sang is probably alive.

Anyway, do you also think that Oh Man Sang isn't dead?

But DNA doesn't lie.

That's why I'm making holes in the femur to check and see...

what has been done to him.

And make sure to wrap it up nicely.

Doctor K.

What? How could this have happened?

Isn't that the same hole in Oh Man Sang's femur?

Who do you think did this?

You're asking the wrong question.

Why did he make a hole?

Honey.

Wait up.

(Cha Joo Hee, 27 years old)

Okay.

(Jang Ho Gu, 41 years old)

(1 year after their marriage)

Hello.

Hello, there. You must be going to exercise.

Yes.

My gosh, your husband is very sweet.

You two look happy together.

Honey, are you coming home early?

Yes, I don't have any plans tonight.

Have a good workout.

I'll meet Do Hee on my way back.

Sure. Buy your sister a nice meal.

- Okay. - Okay.

(Only for Residents)

Darn it.

(Jang Ho Gu, the husband, crashes in the median strip.)

(ROSC: The heart starts again after a cardiac arrest.)

(National Forensics Service)

Which unit?

It's 707. But are you really going to his house?

Dr. Baek hates it when people visit him.

Hello?

I should save her number under Ms. Rude.

It's that one.

How did you know I live here?

Your stomach still hurts from taking the emetic, right?

- Take some medicine. - I don't need to.

So this is your house, Dr. Baek.

Right. You need water to take the medicine.

You can't come in.

You need water.

Move your foot.

You're not going to take the medicine?

Get your foot out.

What are you doing?

Prosecutor Eun Sol?

What is this?

Are you two neighbors?

Yes, we are.

- Why? - Pardon?

Since when?

Excuse me. I need to go to work.

Am I the only one feeling awkward here?

I rented this place in a hurry last year.

And it was a coincidence that we became neighbors.

Coincidence?

Currently, more than 450,000 people live alone in Seoul.

I'm sure at least 50,000 people from Gangdong and Songpa live alone.

It was a coincidence that you rented a place...

next to Dr. Baek's, which has a probability of 50,000 to 1.

Didn't you plan it?

Something is fishy.

My gosh, I did no such thing. I didn't do that.

But why am I explaining this to her?

Do you like Dr. Baek?

Is that true?

No personal questions.

How much?

What?

How much is the deposit on your unit?

I wouldn't know. I pay monthly rent for my unit.

- Prosecutor Eun. - Yes?

You don't have to live next door to Dr. Baek, right?

You said it was a coincidence.

Yes, it was.

Okay, I got it.

Let me think about this.

(Jang Ho Gu's family arrives at the ER at 8:25am.)

You can't park here.

My brother was in an accident and was transferred here.

Only ambulances can park in front of the ER.

Just give me a ticket for it.

Or you can move it yourself.

You'd better be careful.

If you scratch it, you'll pay for it. Got it?

Be quiet.

This lowlife is getting on my nerve.

(Hanjoo Hospital)

Darn it.

Gosh.

Come on.

Seriously? Who on earth parks like that?

Come on. This is taking so long.

Can't you even park a car?

Seriously. They don't know this space is for small cars.

- You moron. - Just park your car. Let's hurry.

Why don't you park your car over there?

No. The ticket will cost us a lot of money.

Then look for another spot.

You have a small car. Why can't you even park a small car?

You still can't reach Ho Gu?

- He's not answering. - My gosh.

Mom, get off. We should go by ourselves first.

Hey, hold on. What about me?

Just park your car somewhere!

Darn it.

Come on!

Gosh.

(Treatment Room, Emergency Medical Center)

Where is she? Where?

(Hanjoo Hospital)

It's charged.

Move.

1, 2, 3. Clear.

Charge to 200 joules.

- Oh, no. Joo Hee. - Joo Hee.

She married to a wealthy family. I thought she'd have a good life.

What's going to happen to Joo Hee?

Who's going to support us now?

My goodness, Joo Hee.

Charge to 200 joules.

Charging to 200 joules.

Move. 1, 2, 3. Clear.

Charge to 300 joules.

Charing to 300 joules.

(Wondong Hospital, Trauma Room)

She still didn't call back?

She's not even answering her phone.

I guess she's exercising.

What a wife.

She doesn't even know what happened to her husband.

Call her again.

Darn it.

Are you Cha Joo Hee's family?

- Yes. - This is her belonging.

My gosh. What are we going to do?

(Brother-in-law)

- Hello? - Joo Hee!

What's going on with you? Why didn't you answer my call?

No, listen.

Ho Gu is dead!

- Where are you? - What?

Ho Gu is dead?

- What? - What?

Ho Gu is dead?

That's impossible.

My sister is also...

But...

what time did he die?

You have to set things straight.

Your brother's building and apartment...

- will be yours now, right? - Hey.

Is that all you can think about when my brother is dead?

You little brat.

You're going to be rich now!

Make sure to keep your cool, okay?

Whatever. Let's go out for a drink in Gangnam.

Sure, it's on me, you jerk.

Bye.

The deceased is a 41-year-old man named Jang Ho Gu.

His car ran into the median strip...

by the entrance under the Mapoong Bridge.

He was sent to the hospital but died shortly after.

- Oh, and... Gosh... - What is it?

He got married only a year ago,

and his wife also died in a car accident today.

It occurred almost simultaneously, too.

The one Chief Ma went to examine is his wife?

- The simultaneous examination case? - Yes.

That's terrible!

Just a minute.

This is the Gangdong Police. Are you the family of Jang Ho Gu?

What do you want?

The National Forensics Service is here for the postmortem examination.

The National Forensics Service?

It's merely a car accident. Why do we need them?

Hello, sir.

Car accidents are classified as unnatural death,

so it is subject to the postmortem examination.

- "Unnatural death"? - Yes, ma'am.

Now it's the postmortem examination trial period,

so the National Forensics Service...

is now conducting a postmortem examination on all unnatural deaths.

I don't care about your trial period.

We're not doing it.

I know this may be sudden for you, but we have to conduct...

the postmortem examination on all reported cases, sir.

I said, "We're not doing it!"

You stay out of this.

Go ahead, then.

- Let's go, sir. - Okay.

His seat belt was on,

the airbag went off.

I'm sure of it.

How can you tell right away?

The marks from the seat belt are common. And here...

- this is from the airbag cover. - Oh, I see.

In what state was the deceased in when he arrived?

His heart had stopped, so they performed CPR on the way here.

He had no pupillary reflex...

and showed no signs of ROSC,

so we pronounced him dead at 8:30.

Oh my goodness, Joo Hee.

I can't give up on you like this.

- You're still so warm! - Joo Hee.

- You can't do this to us! - We've done our best.

Can't you try a bit harder?

Why are you giving up so soon?

What do you think you're doing?

- Did you declare the death? - Yes, we already did.

She is already dead.

There's nothing else the doctors can do.

Please step out, now.

Excuse me, are you the family?

We're from National Forensics Service.

Wait a minute.

National Forensics Service?

We never called for you.

For those who die in places under our jurisdiction,

the NFS conducts the postmortem examination on all unnatural deaths.

This isn't even some kind of big case.

Why do we need NFS?

What do you think you're...

That's enough.

Where is the person who hit her?

We heard that the truck entered the intersection on a red light.

Isn't that considered gross negligence?

The driver is under investigation at the station.

Please proceed with the postmortem examination.

Thank you.

Please wait outside.

What in the world...

What was her condition when she arrived?

She was in a stupor and her blood pressure was under 80,

meaning she had severe hypotension.

You completely took his body apart.

What?

You broke all her ribs during CPR, and you jabbed needles everywhere.

How many times did you use the defibrillator on her?

What did you perform on her while I was gone?

We used the defibrillator,

performed CPR five times and made her heart beat again.

We also used IV and medication,

but she had another cardiac arrest and passed away.

We only did everything to try and save the patient.

Are you sure you didn't prescribe overpriced medications?

- What did you just say? - Sir!

Please stop.

I guess we weren't in our right minds...

since we were so busy looking after patients...

whose lives were at stake.

Next time, I'll make it easier for you to perform an autopsy.

I'll give you a clean body, free of injection shots...

and fractures from CPR.

Whatever you say.

Take the photos.

Yes, sir.

A house like this in Gangnam...

must cost at least 4 million dollars.

Shut it.

I just meant that it's a nice place.

You fool.

Mom, what's the password?

I don't know.

I haven't been here since he got married.

Really? Then I guess we'll have to call someone.

Is the locksmith's number written somewhere around here?

Oh my goodness!

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Is it already here?

Goodness.

I guess you've been visiting regularly?

You look so comfortable.

We're only here to get a portrait for my sister's funeral.

Is it true...

Is it true that Ho Gu is also dead?

Yes.

Oh my goodness, my Joo Hee...

How could this be true?

So, did you get that portrait?

No.

We just arrived.

"Just arrived"?

Mom, isn't that Joo Hee's?

Gosh...

She only died a few hours ago. Are you some kind of thief?

"Thief"?

Watch what you're saying.

You pathetic people.

And bragging about money isn't pathetic?

You're not even that rich.

"Not that rich"?

- Joo Hee gave this to me. - That's enough.

Please leave.

What do you mean, "leave"?

Who are you to kick us out?

Get out of my house.

That's a bit too much. This house...

It's Ho Gu and my sister's house.

Your sister's house?

Did you even chip in any amount...

when they bought this house?

They've been married for a year. It belongs to both of them now.

Besides...

Explain it to them, honey.

Don't worry, darling.

According to the records,

Joo Hee died...

later than Ho Gu.

That means she had...

rightful inheritance of this house.

And since Joo Hee also passed away,

my mother-in-law will be the one to inherit the house.

"Inherit"?

You crooks!

"Crooks"? We already checked everything.

My boyfriend is a judicial scrivener.

"A judicial scrivener"?

- Whatever. You... - Excuse me.

I know you're upset,

but that's how the law works.

What can we do?

You shameless fool!

How can you think of money when someone is dead?

- Stop that! - Let go of me!

That 40-year-old bachelor...

took my precious daughter! It's the least he can do!

"Precious daughter"?

Don't you mean, gold digger?

What?

"Gold digger"?

How dare you!

- What's wrong with you, woman? - Let go!

- Stop! - Why, you!

- Let go! - Let go of me!

Please, ma'am!

- How dare you? - Let go!

- I'll kill you! - Mom! Where are you going?

Do as the law says.

Let go!

I'm going to sue you all.

This is violence and theft.

I...

I have all the proof.

Whatever!

You hit me, too!

Darling, take the picture for me.

This is a mutual assault!

Forget it. Let's go.

[VIU Ver] MBC E05 'Partners for Justice S2' "A Couple Death" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Your guest has arrived.

I've been waiting for you, ma'am.

It's been a while, Mr. Yoo.

Should I call you Director Yoo, now?

Whatever you please, ma'am.

Like I said on the phone,

you don't need to care about the law.

It looks like they looked up the law,

but the law all depends on the interpretation.

- Isn't that so? - And...

the elder of Sungjin...

made this meeting possible too.

Do tell Chairman Oh that I am always grateful.

You should look before you leap, shouldn't you?

Your guest is here.

He's from Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office...

I know him.

Please come in.

Hello.

I took in a wrong person into my family,

and now I'm in this trouble.

There's always a rainy day in life.

That's why we need an umbrella.

- Take a seat. - Yes.

My daughter isn't a gold digger.

Do you know how much Ho Gu loved Joo Hee?

Everyone was against their marriage because he was 14 years older,

but they loved each other so much.

What? A gold digger?

I thought Ho Gu and Joo Hee could finally live happily ever after.

Goodness, I'm so sorry.

She had a perfectly good career going,

but they said a few pennies won't do any good and made her quit.

Then the mother-in-law wench became very proud of her money...

and abused Joo Hee because she was doing nothing at home.

I was so angry.

Mom, you don't have to keep sharing such stories.

I'm sorry.

We came today because...

Yes, right here.

Look at the death certificate.

Ho Gu passed away at 8:38am.

He passed away first at 8:38am.

Then Joo Hee died at 9:01am.

She died exactly 23 minutes after him.

So legally speaking, his inheritance was...

give to Joo Hee.

Well, yes. You can inherit one's assets...

as soon as they pass away, so that sounds right.

Article 997 of the Civil Law says...

one can receive the inheritance as soon as the other party dies.

He had no other will,

so my sister is the first person who can claim his inheritance.

Yet they're treating us like we're con artists.

My gosh.

You know the law very well.

My boyfriend is a certified judicial scrivener.

And I need to pull myself together in a time like this.

Isn't that what Joo Hee would have wanted?

Okay, let's take a look, then. The crimes are...

threatening, fraud,

defaming the deceased, and libel. There are...

a lot of items.

Yes? Prosecutor Eun, Chief Prosecutor Gal wants you.

Oh, okay.

(A married couple car accident case)

Gosh, their children weren't even put into caskets,

yet the two families had a fight over the inheritance?

Goodness, what a funny world. What does money mean anyway?

How much is the inheritance?

The wife had about 2,000 dollars in bank and nothing else.

The husband had an apartment about 125 square meters in Gangnam,

which is worth four million dollars,

and a building worth six million dollars.

Man, 10 million in total.

The couple passed away almost at once without any children.

If one person of the couple dies,

the inheritance is automatically given to the other person.

That's why their time of death was brought up.

What's the difference?

On the death certificate, the wife...

passed away 23 minutes later.

Cha Joo Hee's family claims that she inherited his assets...

during the 23 minutes.

But the location of the accident and the hospital are all different.

All the variables such as the transport time...

and the time it took for first aid are all caused by humans.

Is the time on the death certificate the actual time of their death?

Only deities would know that.

How could a human being know that?

That's why the Civil Law...

has the presumption of simultaneous death written down.

The died simultaneously, so no one inherits anything.

It's as simple as that.

What do you think, Deputy Chief Do?

"The variables caused by humans"?

I think you're right about that.

Why don't we ask the NFS to conduct autopsies...

to find out the exact time of death?

What? National Forensics Service?

This office loves the NFS, doesn't it?

There are only a few minutes of difference. Is that so necessary?

We should do it by the rules.

I agree.

And Chief Prosecutor Gal, her bereaved family is suspicious.

We could also do more background check.

My dear prosecutors, you both work so hard.

I didn't want you to take such a dirty fight over money.

Okay, then. Do what you want.

Then I will request the warrant for an autopsy immediately.

Yes, try to take this to the end.

- Yes. - Yes.

Really? That's good.

Goodness.

Hey.

Don't you think you're a bit too harsh?

We haven't even given our children a funeral yet.

Let's talk in court.

Wait. One second.

I won't ask for his building.

I can settle with the apartment that my daughter lived in.

What? Settle?

I guess you took a liking...

into that apartment worth four million dollars.

Hey, if you want to make money, do it in a proper way.

Stop conning people.

Ho Gu said he'll give it to us...

Conning people?

Do all of us look like beggars just because you have some money?

Then why do you covet what isn't yours?

If you have no money, do with what you have.

Fine!

Let's do this by the law.

It's more favorable to us!

Nonsense, con man.

- Hey, stop it. - You jerk.

You need to calm down.

- Darn it. - The autopsy warrant is here.

We plan on conducting autopsies...

on Mr. Jang and Ms. Cha's bodies.

- Autopsies? - Why?

What?

We will find out...

the exact time of death through the autopsies.

I understand.

Please handle it quickly.

No way. Why would you do an autopsy on my sister?

The doctor wrote the time of death on the death certificate.

Is there a reason we shouldn't do an autopsy on her?

No, it's not that. It's because...

you will cut her up...

when you do an autopsy.

Goodness, no way. You can't!

My goodness, you unlucky girl.

It's unfortunate enough that you died at such a young age,

but now they want to cut you up...

because of some money.

- No way. No. - Goodness.

You're going to kill her too.

This is wrong.

- Goodness. - Mom, are you okay?

Now that the warrant has been issued,

the right over their bodies are now with the state.

This is the only way we can resolve...

your dispute.

When we have their time of death, you can resolve your lawsuit,

and give them their funeral.

Let's go.

No. You can't!

- You can't do this! - This is wrong.

- This is so wrong. - No!

Goodness, this is taking a toll on so many people!

- Go, now. - Goodness.

- Can you run... - Yes?

a background check on Ms. Cha Do Hee?

What?

This is a simple car accident. What will you do with that?

My sister is the first person who can claim his inheritance.

Yet they're treating us like we're con artists.

My gosh.

She was wearing a necklace made with 11.5mm Tahitian pearls.

If that's real, it's worth over 15,000 dollars.

Fifteen thousand dollars?

How did you know that?

Hey, her taste and sharp eyes are different from you.

Is it because she's rich?

- Anyway, do look into that. - Okay.

Gosh, it'll be all over after the autopsy by the NFS.

Why does she make it so hard?

But it does seem suspicious.

You never know.

They could have planned this with the truck driver to take...

Come on, she wouldn't do that to her sister.

Maybe she killed her brother-in-law.

Come on. This is too complicated.

Let's not turn a car accident into a murder case, and get to work.

And stop going to the restroom.

- That's how my stomach is. - Let's get moving.

- I'm leaving. - Prosecutor Eun, wait for me.

Next case is...

a married couple's car accident case...

from Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.

They wish to resolve a dispute...

over the inheritance between two families.

Focus on finding out the exact time of death.

You're right.

A total of 10 million dollars is at stake.

Ten million dollars?

It goes to the person who died later.

I see. But the car accident happened almost at once.

They did not pass away simultaneously!

The person whose heart was beating a minute longer than the other wins.

So make sure you find out the exact time of death.

How are we going to do that?

It's really difficult. To find out that, Mr. Baek...

even raised maggots.

Gosh, that's frightening.

I've never had an autopsy case like this.

If you get 10 million dollars for 23 minutes,

then it's 400,000 dollars per minutes. Cool.

Mr. Baek, what are you doing?

I'm looking over the first aid records.

During the examination, I saw...

that they did everything they could to save her.

Performing autopsies on those bodies are the hardest.

The wounds aren't probably preserved.

You completely took his body apart.

Next time, I'll make it easier for you to perform an autopsy.

I'll give you a clean body, free of injection shots...

and fractures from CPR.

Hey.

Don't talk about the postmortem examination.

Dragging it out with a dead body won't help the bereaved family.

That's a waste of time.

I'll perform the autopsy on Cha Joo Hee.

And I'll tell the time of death to that doctor's face.

That ER doctor seemed pretty headstrong too.

Dr. Baek, you went to examine Jang Ho Gu.

So you'll perform the autopsy on him.

I can't do that.

Why not?

I'll take the wife, Ms. Cha Joo Hee.

I told you that I'd do her autopsy. Were you even listening?

I must perform her autopsy.

- No, I'll do it. - What's your reason?

You don't trust me? Is that it? Are you the only medical examiner?

Please don't fight.

Stay out of this, Fatso!

You tell me why.

If their times of death are only a few minutes apart,

can you figure out the exact time of death?

(Episode 6 will air shortly.)

(Episode 6)

What about you? You're capable, but I am not?

How many incorrect results did you have last year?

My gosh, unbelievable.

Incorrect results?

I'm glad you brought that up.

And you don't have any cold cases?

What about Oh Man Sang?

The whole country is laughing at you.

They say the NFS and the prosecution plotted this together.

Supposedly, he's alive. No one believes you.

Stop it.

Dr. Baek.

We already assigned the autopsies.

- You took all the CT scans, right? - Yes.

Start the 3D bone reconstruction.

All right. Let's start the autopsy.

"Jang Ho Gu, 41 years old."

"791107". Is that correct?

- Yes. - I'll bring Dr. Baek.

Okay.

Dr. Baek. It's ready.

Where did he go?

Dr. Baek. You got the wrong room.

Yours is in Room One.

I know that.

Dr. Baek. It's ready. Let's go.

I know. I can't even take a look at the body?

People are waiting in Room One.

Let me see the 3D bone reconstruction.

Dr. Baek.

I'll only look.

We will do our best to perform the autopsy.

As the chief, I will personally perform the autopsy...

to show you the pride of the NFS. Please don't worry.

Okay. You have my trust.

My heart breaks for the dead,

but several lives of the living depend on this too.

Yes, I'm well aware.

The autopsies are also for those who are left behind.

I'll get going now.

Hey, Dr. Ma.

Hey, Sally. What's up?

Remember the druggie you asked me to run an analysis on?

Have you heard of TD, Tears of Deities?

I found Tears of Deities in it.

You found TD in it?

There were only a few cases with that drug in Korea.

Right. TD has a few unique pathological symptoms,

but I'm not sure.

Can you look at the slides? It won't take long.

Gosh.

You'll know once you see them. Come on, let's go.

- Okay. - Hurry.

Zoom in here.

No, not there. Between 3rd and 4th cervical vertebrae.

Yes, there.

There's a fracture.

That's odd.

The cervical vertebrae get fractured in car accidents all the time.

She must've hit her head against the headrest.

Stop writing a novel. I see more than a fracture.

I thought Dr. Ma would be performing Cha Joo Hee's autopsy.

I thought so too.

Lock the door. Move.

- What? - What are you saying?

Lock the door. I'll perform the autopsy.

Dr. Baek.

Dr. Ma will be livid when he finds out.

What's going on right now? Tell us what's going on.

Something must've gotten his attention.

He even stole a body before.

My gosh, come on.

You startled me.

Hey, the door isn't opening.

Hey, why did you lock the door? Fatso, open the door.

My gosh, stop pranking me and open the door.

I'm sorry.

Hey, open up.

We'll be in big trouble if you keep this up.

Hey, Fatso. Open the door! Hey!

Hey... What's going on?

Let's start.

Dr. Baek, what are you doing?

It's 9:18am now.

I'll start the autopsy.

Dr. Baek.

Medical examiners are civil servants too. There are rules.

- Turn off the microphone. - Do you think the NFS is a joke?

If you perform the autopsy without permission...

You'll pay for this.

Darn it.

(Cha Joo Hee's autopsy begins at 9:18am on May 17, 2019.)

(Jang Ho Gu's autopsy begins at 9:35am on May 17, 2019.)

- Did you take the CT scans? - Yes.

- Blow up the whole body scan. - Right away.

It's up.

Gosh, yes. It is a fracture.

Multiple fractures in the chest.

3rd, 5th, and 8th ribs are fractured.

The right femoral region is fractured.

I guess he stepped on the brakes pretty hard.

Her front tooth is chipped off.

The front tooth is chipped.

Her tooth got chipped?

Was there a scuffle before her car accident?

Don't write a novel.

She was intubated, wasn't she?

Yes. She was intubated in the ER.

Scalpel.

Scissors.

I found food remnant in her throat.

Food remnant in her throat.

(Scraped skin, bruise, food remnant in her throat)

This piece of her tooth.

They chipped her tooth when they intubated her.

How do you know that?

If she chipped her tooth during a scuffle,

the chipped tooth would've made it to her stomach.

We often find chipped teeth in the throat after being intubated.

My gosh, he should've gone easy on her.

You think he should go easy on her...

when she couldn't breathe for a tooth?

No, I was wrong. I didn't think that far ahead.

Why is he always so angry?

Goodness.

There's a lot of blood.

His left ventricle ruptured.

And his ascending aorta ruptured too.

Left ventricle ruptured.

Ascending aorta ruptured.

Did his heart rupture?

When the driver suffered the shock,

his chest got injured from the steering wheel.

Measure his height and weight.

Yes, sir.

The blood in the thorax is roughly...

3,700, sir.

Tell me the exact amount!

Oh, yes... It's...

3,570, sir.

3,570?

Compound fracture in the temporal region.

"Compound fracture in the temporal region".

Subdural hemorrhage.

"Subdural hemorrhage".

Long forceps.

Whiplash injury.

"Whiplash injury".

C3 cervical vertebrae fracture.

"C3 cervical vertebrae fracture".

The impact must have been severe.

Should we move on to the internal organs?

What's wrong, sir?

- Let's take out the eyeball. - What?

What for?

We won't find anything related to the time of death.

Are you the one performing the autopsy?

Hammer.

Retinal detachment.

That's odd.

But it doesn't have anything to do with a car accident.

Aren't you going to write that down?

What are you here for?

"Retinal detachment".

See me in my room after the briefing.

Be prepared to submit a written apology.

Are you two fighting again?

The family is waiting for the results, so let's begin.

I will announce the results of the autopsy on the husband, Jang Ho Gu.

The most fatal and immediate cause of his death...

is cardioclasis, due to thoracic injury,

and hemorrhagic shock, due to ascending aorta rupture.

Then when is the estimated time of death?

Due to the cardiac arrest,

there was 3,570ml of blood in his thorax.

Normally, 80ml of blood is ejected...

with every heartbeat of a full grown man,

so it will take at least 44 times...

to make 3,570ml.

But the deceased was in a severe state of shock,

and according to the paramedic's record,

they were unable to take the blood pressure...

and his heart rate was 0.5 per second.

With the increase in heart rate and the decrease in cardiac output,

in order to result in 3,750ml of blood loss,

it will take at least seven minutes.

Therefore, Jang Ho Gu's time of death is...

seven minutes after the accident,

which is 7:37am.

3,750ml...

What about Cha Joo Hee?

She had several fractures and damages on her internal organs,

and the most fatal cause we could find...

was subdural hemorrhage because the brain was damaged.

So what time did she die?

We don't know yet.

You've been fussing over it all morning, and all you can say is,

- "We don't know yet"? - That's enough.

When do we get the results for the drug analysis?

It'll take a bit longer.

We have to rule out the medication used during the first aid.

Sir, the family is waiting...

Didn't you hear us say that we can't conclude yet?

Dr. Baek,

we need to make up our minds for them to reach an agreement!

- Let's go. - Where, sir?

- To see the site. - Why would you go there?

Why do you need to see the site to tell the time of death?

I need to check something.

What do we do now, Prosecutor Eun?

We should tell them to wait, I guess.

It isn't a first, anyway.

We're talking about 10 million dollars!

Didn't you see how desperate they all looked?

Could I talk to you for a minute?

Me?

Yes?

Are you sure you're not interested in Dr. Baek?

Is it about that, again?

Yes, sure.

Cool.

To tell you the truth, I like him.

Oh, well... I kind of noticed, but...

But isn't he a bit too old...

Mick Jagger's girlfriend is 44 years younger than him, you know.

- Will you help me out? - What?

Oh, sure...

Why not?

I did some research,

and there aren't any vacancies in his apartment.

So...

how do you like this place?

The view is amazing!

Is this some kind of show house?

It's mine.

Will you switch houses with me?

Sorry?

"Switch houses"?

I want to live next door to Dr. Baek.

But...

this is a bit unexpected.

I thought you were going to help me.

Yes, but...

You won't even be at a loss, either.

My place is closer to your office.

Let me think it over.

Okay, cool.

Let me know.

[VIU Ver] MBC E06 'Partners for Justice S2' "The Time of Death" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Over here!

Over here.

Gosh.

- I'm back! - Welcome back.

Did it feel nice and weary to get out of the office?

How did it go?

Cha Joo Hee's family turned out to be really disgusting.

Don't even get me started.

- Really? Let's get going. - Let's go.

Ms. Eun might have to hold another housewarming party.

What do you mean?

Show her, Ms. Eun.

The picture of Dr. Sally's house.

- Take a look. - Here.

Gosh, what an amazing house!

Are her parent some kind of billionaires in the States?

This must cost at least a million dollars to rent.

She wants Ms. Eun to change houses with her.

Why would she do that?

Dr. Sally likes Dr. Baek.

What?

Wait a minute.

He's old enough to be her dad!

Isn't that a bit too much?

No way!

Gosh, but her house is incredible.

I wish I could live somewhere like this.

Why are you hesitating?

It's so much better than living next door to Dr. Psycho.

Is it maybe because...

- you also like... - What?

Hey!

What are you talking about?

That can't be it, right?

Then you should agree with her...

before she changes her mind.

Aren't you going to decide?

I won't be waiting any longer.

Fine.

Let's change the houses.

(Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office)

I disapprove of them being a couple.

Gosh, I remember the bad memories.

Come on, they look good together.

Like father and daughter.

It's just as I thought.

- What are you talking about? - There are no skid marks.

- What does that mean? - Oh, wait. Then...

What does that mean?

Why? Do you want to write another novel?

You always have a conclusion after the autopsy.

So who died first? You know, don't you?

Wrong question.

What?

You need to know why they died to know when they died.

Did you want to see me?

Why didn't you report back to me?

You got a case from Sungjin Group's Chairman Oh with a sticky note.

Oh, it's a tiny dispute. I've been taking care of that.

Hey, Chief Prosecutor Gal.

Since when did you begin meeting people by yourself?

Do you think I'm a joke?

No, sir. I didn't think it through.

I'm the one who brought you out of the tiny rural town Beolgyo,

not Chairman Oh.

Be careful.

That's enough, sir.

Hey, Chief Prosecutor Gal.

You're more naive than I thought.

You took Chairman Oh's hand as soon as he reached out to you?

Your wrist may get cut off if things go wrong.

Do you feel that confident about this case?

Don't worry.

It wasn't easy to get up here. I won't do a U-turn.

They both...

- Hello. - Goodness, hello.

Don't worry. Stay seated.

- Hello. - Sit down.

You did all this for nothing.

I told you that the NFS can't do anything.

The time of death? You can never find that out...

unless you ask the dead body.

It's just a few minutes. You can't find that out with an autopsy.

Okay, what will you do now?

Ms. Cha's family seemed rather suspicious,

so we've been doing a background check.

Yes, about her family.

They lost a building under the mother's name...

three years ago through an auction.

They rented a small room,

but they didn't pay for a while, so they lost all the key money too.

Their landlord sued them to get them evicted,

and they will be homeless soon.

And her sister, Cha Do Hee,

claimed that her boyfriend is a certified judicial scrivener,

but he was just an intern, and he's done with that now.

She's a dental hygienist...

who gets 1,400 dollars a month.

Forget Tahitian pearls. She couldn't even buy a simple ring.

I can see why they were desperate for the inheritance.

Yes, but we found something suspicious...

in their home when they're about to be homeless.

Cha Do Hee got a cash advance...

of 5,000 dollars.

Yes, she needed money in a hurry.

I'll find out where she used the cash.

Goodness, Prosecutor Eun.

You're very competent, aren't you?

Goodness, Deputy Chief Do.

You can't let the first year get the best of you.

Do you think the Criminal Division is a joke?

Show me what you did in the Special Division and the Drug Squad, okay?

Prosecutor Eun, make sure you keep investigating.

See that? You've found out something when you did the legwork.

Don't just...

sit around like someone.

Hey, this investigation was really tough for me.

I thought my hemorrhoids came back from three years ago...

Deputy Chief Do, we will go out for further investigation.

Yes, let's go. Come on.

I worked so hard.

Goodbye.

Didn't step on the brakes.

Whiplash injury.

A huge impact.

Vomited.

Retinal detachment.

(Autopsy Report)

What's the blood test result?

You used the microwave?

What about the plastic wrap? Did you forget?

You said it was an emergency. I ran it without eating.

So what? What did you get?

Epinephrine, vasopressin, amiodarone,

lidocaine, magnesium, methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone.

They're all first aid drugs. Nothing seems weird.

Really?

(Drug Test Report)

I need another targeted test.

I ran all the test on the blood. Don't you trust me?

I do. So let's do it once again.

- Is this an emergency again? - Yes.

It's an emergency. Here.

I have to stay up all night to do this.

I'll wait for you.

Where are you going?

To get the blood sample.

Wait right here. I'm staying up all night.

Why should I care if her guardian withdrew money here?

I'm busy. This is an emergency room!

- Yes, but it'll only take a minute. - How may I help you?

Prosecutor Eun of Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.

I'd like to ask a few questions...

regarding Ms. Cha Joo Hee, who died here.

Doctor.

I guess you don't really know because you're new.

I'll deal with them.

It's okay.

I'm the doctor in charge. Ask me.

At 8pm on the day of her death,

her family, Cha Do Hee, withdrew 5,000 dollars here.

But when I checked the CCTV footage,

and found out that her doctor, Han Ji Yun,

went away for an hour at the exact same hour.

Dr. Han, where were you?

I got a nap in the night duty room.

Unfortunately,

there's no CCTV in there.

Oh, really?

I knew you would say that. Then...

who's this?

I guess you didn't know...

ATM machines have CCTVs.

Dr. Han.

Did you pay off your settlement with that?

I'm sorry.

Doctor, can you please explain?

Dr. Han made a mistake and threw away...

a permanent tooth of an eight-year-old,

and the child lost his tooth in the medical accident.

The child's guardian...

demanded 5,000 dollars as compensation.

I'm sorry.

Yes, this is Baek Beom.

Dr. Baek, the married couple's car accident case has been resolved.

We found out that Ms. Cha's family attempted to delay her death...

by making the doctors perform more first aid.

I also found out that they paid the doctor.

Oh, I called...

because you can discern their time of death slowly.

Okay.

Was that Prosecutor Eun? What did she say?

Forget it. You can eat before you begin.

Let's eat.

Goodness.

Chief Prosecutor Gal is...

going to give our team cold cases.

- You're here. - Chief Prosecutor Gal...

- Goodness. - Mr. Yang.

Do you still add eggs to your drink?

Gosh, what are you saying, Chief Prosecutor Gal?

If I do that now, I get in trouble the next day in the restroom.

Oh, really?

- You're still the same. - I guess.

May I have a word with Deputy Chief Do?

Oh, right. I'll go.

I'll leave. Okay.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hey.

I'm sorry for saying harsh things to you earlier.

It's okay. Prosecutor Eun is good.

Not all first years are the same.

Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office has great teamwork.

Give me your support. I'm on your team now.

- How is it going? - Pretty tough.

You know how it is. I am nothing against the Doberman.

Not all prosecutors are the same.

You've only worked for divisions like Special Division, Drug Squad,

and that helped you get promoted.

I was stuck in a rural office,

so I can't keep up with things.

What's your relationship with Assistant Prosecutor General No?

There is no school or regional ties between you two.

Why do you ask? Did someone say something?

You know there's a lot of talks regarding your transfer, right?

Darn it. I guess everyone feels sour...

that a hick from Beolgyo got to come to Seoul.

But what about you?

Since when did you do a background check on your boss? How unexpected.

Did I offend you?

Sorry.

I mean, I've been hearing things,

so I just wanted to be careful.

Yes, we should be careful.

Both of us.

Dr. Baek, I got it.

What did you get?

Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office will get pretty shocked.

- Did you pull an all-nighter? - Let's go.

- What? - Let's go.

- Go where? - Eastern District Office.

They're serving stir-fried pork for breakfast.

I'll explain it on our way there. Just come!

Darn it. I didn't have breakfast.

Why does she walk so fast?

- My gosh. - Suspects these days are scary.

My gosh, Prosecutor Eun.

You did a great job with your investigation.

Young prosecutors these days are very competent.

Thank you for your hard work.

Sure.

You all sure impressed me.

Well, we were just doing our job.

Right, we were.

- It was all Prosecutor Eun. - Right.

Prosecutor Eun, wrap up the case nicely.

Okay.

We're very sorry.

We didn't know any better.

You should apologize too.

- We're very sorry. - Okay, okay.

- We're very sorry. - Take a seat.

Take a seat. Sit down.

When I heard that Ho Gu died,

I did it before I could stop myself.

(Hanjoo Hospital, Trauma Room)

I went to the doctor and said,

"I can't let her go like this."

"My mom is watching too. Can't you try a bit more?"

Mother, she's not dead yet. No, she's not dead.

Oh, dear me!

I told him that I'd compensate for his service.

And I paid him a small amount.

- Charge to 200 joules. - What?

- Let's try some more. Hurry. - Okay.

CPR. Perform CPR now.

- Perform CPR now. - Okay, Doctor.

It's charged.

I'm really sorry.

We're really sorry. We are.

I'm sorry.

My gosh, those con artists.

They'll come to their senses when they end up in the slammer.

The truth always prevails.

It's all thanks to the prosecutor.

The three of you fabricated the death certificate.

According to Article 233 of Criminal Code,

you're guilty of instigating to fabricate medical certificates.

And you broke into Jang Ho Gu's house without permission.

Hello.

- Hey. - Dr. Baek.

We have the autopsy report for Cha Joo Hee.

We don't need the time of death now.

We already found out that they fabricated it.

- Who said you don't need it? - What?

What's she going on about now?

We cannot rule out...

that Cha Joo Hee was murdered.

Pardon?

It's a homicide case now.

(Partners for Justice 2)

The first suspect is Cha Do Hee.

She's a clever woman who can fabricate...

the time of death in order to inherit her sister's assets.

I'm her sister. Are you suspecting me?

You should suspect the numbers, not me.

It's obvious that this was about money.

The second suspect is the victim's brother-in-law, Jang Ho Chul.

My gosh, it's all ruined. This is too bad. Sorry.

The third suspect is her mother-in-law, Cheon Chun Ja.

It seemed to me that she wouldn't talk to her in-laws.

Do you have proof that I killed her?

You told me it was a murder and then an accident.

And now, it's a murder again?

It's an accidental death.

Therefore, we will withdraw...

Dr. Baek Beom's conclusion.
