Original subtitles

(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

Dr. K.

That's what people call him.

That jerk...

came back again.

This is the last time.

If you provoke me once more,

I won't stand still.

Dr. Jang, I'm having a birthday party this Saturday.

Do you want to come?

I think my daughter...

got kidnapped.

What am I going to do? Can you come quickly?

Around noon, a six-year-old girl got kidnapped...

in a kids cafe at the Wooil-dong Intersection.

Please help me.

Where on earth is she now?

Can you think of anyone who would hold a grudge against you?

I'm so sorry!

Or anything that's been bothering you?

- Ms. Han Soo Yeon? - Who is this?

Get the money ready.

Make it 100,000 dollars and take them out in cash.

I want 50-dollar bills. And not new ones either.

Put the money in a bag and bring it to Onjoo Pharmacy...

in Wooil-dong by 1:30pm.

No!

No!

Stop right there!

No!

We don't have time.

Even if she is hibernating,

the record of survival is 6 hours and 30 minutes under 10℃.

We have 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Where is Seo Hyun?

He is her daughter's kidnapper.

He's the only one who knows where she is. He can't die.

I'm praying my heart out...

so that my daughter's kidnapper can live.

Does this make any sense?

Darn it. How could this happen?

I just want to die right now.

He's dead.

No. What about Seo Hyun?

It's not over yet.

Where's the body?

- He's still at the hospital. - Bring it for the autopsy.

It's not over for me.

(National Forensics Service)

You came.

This is Dr. Jang Cheol from Hanjoo Hospital...

who performed emergency surgery on the kidnapper.

As time is of the essence for this case,

he came here in person to deliver his report.

Hello.

Hold on.

Did you touch a corpse today?

Yes.

People always die...

at hospitals.

I see. Thank you.

It'll be a big help to have you here.

- Move it now. - Okay.

- This way. - Okay.

The air he breathed in, dirt he stepped on,

his last meal,

his medication, his hair, and dirt underneath his nails and toenails...

as well as stomach, intestines, and the substances in his urine.

I'll search him from head to toe to figure out where he's been today.

We can find Seo Hyun only then.

It's 2:45pm now.

I'll start the autopsy.

(Partners for Justice 2, Episode 9)

(The possibility that a patient survives beyond any specified time)

(The start of autopsy)

(Remaining Time for Han Seo Hyun: 3 hours and 32 minutes)

I've never wanted to kill a corpse until now.

Darn it.

Nasal speculum.

The nasal septum ruptured.

"The nasal septum ruptured."

Doesn't that mean he was addicted to cocaine?

It's a possibility.

- Run a drug test. - Okay.

Forceps.

Dr. Sally.

Based on his teeth, he seems to be in his 40s.

"Based on his teeth, he seems to be in his 40s."

Heavy smoker.

Presumably a smoker for at least 15 years.

"Heavy smoker. Presumably a smoker for at least 15 years."

No traces of BCG.

"No traces of..." Wait, are you saying...

He's not Korean.

What?

How could you know that?

When it comes to Koreans in their 40s...

You know what "fire shots" are, don't you?

They need to have traces of the vaccine on their shoulders.

So that's why.

That's why his prints weren't in our data.

He could be a Korean-Chinese.

I'll broaden our search.

Okay.

He has a lot of muscles and no stiffness.

A high percentage of body fat.

Presumably a manual worker.

"Presumably a manual worker."

- Calluses on both palms. - "Calluses on both palms."

(Autopsy Profile of the Kidnapper)

A substantial amount of substances underneath his fingers.

"A substantial amount of substances underneath his fingers."

What? There's powder.

Take all of this and analyze it, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

A bullet entry wound in his left thigh.

"A bullet entry wound in his left thigh."

There's no exit.

Where are his clothes?

(Evidence)

His jeans are unbranded.

All of his clothes are PB products from Haru Mart.

Analyze all the debris on the inside.

- Okay. - What about his shoes?

His shoe size is 275mm.

It's a 2015 model. It's 23 dollars and 75 cents.

They still sell this model.

- Is his bike here? - Yes, it is.

Compare the substances...

on the grooves and those on these soles.

- Hurry. - Okay.

I'm sorry for being late.

Ms. Han.

Ms. Han.

Dr. Baek.

Let me help you.

I have to...

I...

I need to do this autopsy.

- No. Stay outside. - I need to do something.

I'm Seo Hyun's mom.

Since I'm her mom,

- I should do something. - If you're here,

you'll only distract us.

Stay outside.

Please.

Please save Seo Hyun.

I beg you.

Please.

Okay, so leave.

Scalpel.

(Remaining Time for Han Seo Hyun: 3 hours and 27 minutes)

(Remaining Time for Han Seo Hyun: 3 hours and 26 minutes)

What is this?

Bleeding in the pericardium.

"Bleeding in the pericardium."

What is this?

Why is the hole so wide?

You marred his body, didn't you?

An injection seems to have caused the bleeding.

Don't tell me you administered epinephrine directly to the heart.

(Autopsy Profile of the Kidnapper)

I did.

With a 10-gauge needle, I administered 300ml to the heart.

"300ml"?

That's past the lethal dose! Have you gone insane?

It was my final attempt at regaining his consciousness.

And did it work?

Dr. Jang. You can't do that!

Dr. Jang.

No.

Analyze his peripheral blood, not the blood from his heart.

See if he had any prescribed medicine.

Okay.

If you can find a single medicine,

we'll be able to trace back with the prescription record.

Roger.

Wait a minute. You're wrong.

It was impossible to revive him, so I took the risk...

and transfused as much blood as possible.

We transfused a total of 7,800cc.

80 percent of the blood in his body...

isn't his.

There's no use in analyzing his peripheral blood.

You swabbed the blood from the bike, right?

The amount is too little for us to run the test.

The hospital must have his blood!

Right.

He bled a lot from the bed.

That won't do.

The floors are sterilized and disinfected...

as soon as the bed is moved.

And it must be mixed up...

with the other medical wastes by now.

How about his blood from the OR?

The gauzes.

Darn it. Why are there so many things around here?

Ms. Eun, we just arrived.

What should we look for?

Dr. Jang, they've arrived at the waste disposal room.

Look for the label "A-135" on the boxes.

That's his number.

Don't open it. Bring it as is.

Okay.

- Look for A-135. - A-135.

(Container for Medical Waste)

(Container for Medical Waste)

I'm glad they found it.

May I ask how this hospital disposes of its medical wastes?

Since they're all sealed, it is impossible to know what they are.

Then how do you think the culprit knew that it was an ankle?

Sorry?

You can analyze the blood.

Okay.

Excuse me.

(Prosecutor Eun)

Prosecutor Eun, how's it going?

They're currently performing the autopsy.

How about Chairman Oh?

We're trying our best, but it's not easy.

Things must be hectic over there.

I know it's painful,

but you need to be more focused and calm...

at times like this.

I will.

But I can't help but feel rushed since I need to investigate...

the existence of any grudges or accomplices.

I hope Seo Hyun can hold out.

Ms. Eun, the preliminary investigation...

is the most important when it comes to kidnapping.

And if the culprit had any accomplices,

they would've hidden by now after his death.

You know it'll be difficult to look for them if they decide to hide.

Gosh, we should be there.

By the way, are you sure Mr. Kang will manage on his own?

Prosecutor Eun, time is of the utmost importance here.

- Be on your toes. - Yes, sir.

I'll make sure I focus on the investigation.

We just received a report and are heading to Seoul.

If we can, we'll stop by.

What about the motive?

Do you have any ideas?

He demanded ransom immediately after the kidnapping.

He meticulously planned out the routes to the rendezvous...

and his escape.

He wanted money?

But there's something strange.

He must've meticulously looked for his target beforehand.

If money was the motive,

would he have targeted...

the daughter of a public servant who was also a single mom?

He could've found a better target...

that he can demand a bigger ransom.

Something is not right.

You're right.

You heard his voice, right?

His way of speaking, habits,

and motive for murder are all in there.

Try to remember. You have a keen sense.

Okay.

Why haven't you reported to me?

Sir, it's not that.

How could the chief prosecutor of Criminal Division Eight...

find out about something this big through the news?

- I'm sorry. - Don't get into trouble...

if you want to do things on your own.

So the kidnapper died?

Yes, he's getting an autopsy now.

He's already dead.

We don't even know if he did this alone or if he had an accomplice.

There's no time for you to sit here and watch the autopsy.

I'm also conducting an investigation...

Tell the NFS to manage the autopsy on their own.

Tell the Gangdong Police Station and the Seoul Eastern District...

Prosecutors' Office to come immediately.

[VIU Ver] MBC E17 'Partners for Justice S2' "Survival Function" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

He presumably had his last meal four hours before his death.

"He presumably had his last meal four hours before his death."

Half-digested rice grains, kimchi, and pickled radish.

"Half-digested rice grains, kimchi, and pickled radish."

We found Aspergillus, a type of mold...

on the kidnapper's hoodie.

He was in a wet and a damp place.

Condensation on the wall and mold next to the condensation.

- Write it down. - Okay.

"Condensation on the wall and mold next to the condensation."

(Condensation on the wall and mold next to the condensation.)

It's here. The blood.

- Start wringing. - What?

It's an emergency.

- Open it. Let's start wringing it. - Wait.

Chief Prosecutor Gal just told us to come.

This is more urgent. Put these on!

Darn it.

It's coming out.

It's coming out.

It's coming out.

Think of that as your own blood...

and get every single drop out of that thing.

Ham Ho Cheol, the bus driver.

He was found driving without a license after Seo Hyun's case,

and his history of drunk-driving was also revealed.

But he's locked up in a detention center right now.

Then he couldn't have committed a crime directly.

Did you find anything suspicious...

during his recent visits or phone calls?

Why would you investigate someone who's in a detention center?

He could have instigated this through an accomplice.

Okay, then.

What about An Mi Ok, the kindergarten teacher?

Do you know what she was up to after her wedding was called off?

Yes, I...

- Hey. - I'm sorry, I'm late.

We're currently looking for An Mi Ok's whereabouts.

Her phone has been turned off for two days,

and she has gone missing.

On top of that, what's suspicious is...

that she took out...

her entire savings of 30,000 dollars in cash 3 days ago.

- Everything? - Yes.

It's her. Don't you get that feeling?

But Chief Prosecutor Gal.

The culprit stole a motorcycle,

avoided getting tracked by the phone,

and stayed away from all the CCTV cameras.

This isn't a crime that a teacher in a kindergarten could have done.

That's why she needed that 30,000 dollars.

She paid a professional.

She has a motive,

we found financial transactions, and she even ran away.

We have everything we need.

An Mi Ok is the key suspect right now.

Start investigating her home, bank account, and friends.

And get me all the evidence on her whereabouts.

Ms. Han?

Gosh, you called over many officers.

Don't try to fool me because you know some police officers.

Let's head over to An Mi Ok's house.

Get everyone...

Chief Prosecutor Gal, one second.

During the phone call with the kidnapper,

he already knew that Ms. Han was an employee of the NFS.

Also, 100,000 dollars isn't such a huge amount...

to think that the crime was...

- committed solely for money. - So?

We need to dig into the possibility of a grudge relating to her work.

Okay.

A child's life is at stake.

We must check the smallest details.

Investigate the possibility of him holding a grudge.

I'll also investigate the result of the first autopsy of...

The autopsy result?

Yes.

Prosecutor Eun.

Do you think you can find the child by conducting an autopsy?

We'll find her location once we catch the main culprit.

Wouldn't that be faster than looking through a corpse?

Yes.

Okay, we have no time.

If we do not narrow down the investigation all at once,

we'll just end up having our head in the clouds, okay?

- Yes, sir. - Let's go.

He told us to not overlook the smallest details,

but he wants to go with the biggest possibility.

Excuse me.

I need to make a phone call.

It's me. The culprit even planted a VPN program...

that lets the IP get diverted to an overseas location.

This has to be a professional.

Don't Korean-Chinese use this to avoid getting tracked down...

for their voice phishing scams?

Bongchu Police Station is the best at this.

There is a phishing group that we've been tracking down.

They scam people with a phone that goes through three countries.

But this is a very meticulous group.

They change the phone number right away...

and discard the bank accounts as soon as they withdraw money.

They pretty much cleaned up and ran away by now.

They can't run away.

A child's life is at stake. We have less than three hours.

What about the guy who provided that program?

Did they outsource this to another hacker?

You can't really catch hackers now.

They even get paid in Bitcoins...

to avoid getting tracked by their bank accounts.

- What? Bitcoins? - Yes.

That's where we have to stop tracking them.

Okay.

I might be able to find a way.

Dr. Baek.

I finished examining the motorcycle and the shoes.

- Let's go. - Yes.

Come in.

Wait, what's this?

We found some special paint in the dirt that was left...

in the tire of the motorcycle, so we had it analyzed.

This was paint that included grains of glass.

There were grains of glass found in the paint?

Yes, this is road paint, used to draw street lanes.

It helps the driver at nights or in bad weather...

by reflecting light that comes from the headlights.

The detailed analysis showed that it's KSM6080 road paint...

with KSL2521, glass beads for road paint.

It's yellow, used for centerlines.

- How hard was it? - It wasn't completely hardened yet.

It's fused-type paint.

Did you find the same thing from his shoes?

Yes, I found the same substance.

Right.

He stepped on a center lane that was freshly drawn.

Find out if there are any roads around Wooil Station that were...

freshly drawn between yesterday dawn and today morning.

- Yes. - Yes, Prosecutor Eun.

What are you doing? We're in a hurry.

- Come on. - Okay.

(Remaining Time for Han Seo Hyun: 2 hours and 47 minutes)

Ms. An Mi Ok!

Goodness, look at what this woman did.

It looks like she ran away in a hurry.

Look through to find out any leads to her whereabouts.

- Yes. - Yes.

What?

Open that closet.

- She planned her runaway. - Okay.

Chief Prosecutor Gal, we found An Mi Ok.

It's a couples' app that she used with her ex-fiance,

and she just checked in automatically.

- "Checked in automatically"? - That app can...

send the location of their significant other.

- What's her location? - Bongchu-dong.

It's an area with heightened security.

There are many Korean-Chinese and other foreigners who live...

Wait. Korean-Chinese?

Let's head over right now.

- Let's go! - Yes.

- Move aside! - I told you to move.

- Goodness. - Darn it.

Gosh.

Hey, I got it!

I did it!

Sir, it's number seven.

Samba, samba, samba

He hit a jackpot.

You can forget about all of your struggles.

Come on!

Darn it, just one more! Goodness!

Hey, you aren't the only one who's playing right now.

Stop screaming.

Gosh, darn it. This is so annoying.

I ended up just losing money.

Do you have any money?

Hey, someone else is going to steal my machine!

Be quiet. I have to focus.

Darn it! I could have hit a jackpot any minute now.

Gosh! This is so annoying.

I found the center lines that were freshly painted.

- Okay. - One second.

- Yes. - Okay.

Now, look.

Today morning, at 6:00am, the center lines of...

Bongchu-daero 16-gil was freshly painted.

How does it lead to Wooil Station Intersection?

Yes, the abductor made the call at 12:40am.

And by 1:20am, he arrived at Wooil Station Intersection.

If he has to get there within 40 minutes,

he would have had to start...

from somewhere in here.

That's as big as Yeouido.

We narrowed it down to Yeouido from the entire city of Seoul.

Any characteristics of the area?

Bongchu-dong and Munju-dong are...

all factory districts.

There are many small factories and dormitories around here,

so it's like a maze in here.

We'll need over 24 hours to investigate every single place.

What happened?

Like you said, I found a place that was bombed with electricity bill...

because they were using the place to mine Bitcoins.

Where is that?

It's near the international telephone network in Bongchu-dong.

Bongchu-dong?

The area populated with Korean-Chinese?

I'm sure you're aware that it's a rough neighborhood.

Okay, send me the address now. Okay.

Let's hurry, Prosecutor Eun.

I'm leaving now.

Goodness, Investigator Kang.

It's been a while since he got riled up like this.

What happened?

It's been confirmed that he came here two hours ago.

- Really? - He left the phone on the table...

after eating cup noodles here.

The part-timer here turned it on to return it to the owner.

Check the photos and text messages stored on the phone.

Yes, sir.

This is the last photo he took.

Do we have the GPS information on it?

I'll check now.

I got it.

Hold on.

It's nearby.

Mobilize every resource you have from Gangdong Police Station...

and form an arrest team.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

- Clean up here. - Okay.

Everyone, move out.

Do you have the result from the drug test and the toxicology screen?

He's clean.

He didn't take any prescribed medicine.

I couldn't even find medicine for cold or digestion.

(He tested negative for 55 types of drugs.)

He didn't take any of the prescribed medicine?

Yes. I didn't find cocaine...

and other types of narcotics too.

He tested all negative.

If he's an addict, we could've looked into the suppliers...

and retraced his steps that way. Darn it.

It's a dead end regarding medicine and narcotics.

Then, why on earth did his nasal septum rupture?

Write this down on his profile.

Why would I? We didn't find anything.

- Write down that he's healthy. - Okay.

Well, we knew that retracing his steps through autopsy...

would be difficult from the start.

This means that we didn't find anything useful.

- It's driving me crazy. - Everyone is out on the scene.

I'm sure they'll find a lead.

He woke up and had rice, kimchi, and radish for breakfast.

There's condensation on the wall and mold next to the condensation.

He smoked every day for more than 15 years.

He had calluses which means he had a physical labor job.

He's a healthy man whose nasal speculum ruptured.

You're distracting me.

Are you trying to memorize it?

Everything we got from the autopsy is a dead end.

Get out if you're going to complain. Get out of here.

Dr. Ma. Why are you guys fighting?

(Suspected to have had a physical labor job)

He had a physical labor job.

A worker.

- Show me photos of his fingertips. - Okay.

Zoom in.

Contact dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis.

You analyze the dirt underneath his nails, right?

Yes, we found a large amount of talc powder.

- Talc powder? - What does that mean?

(Nasal septum rupture)

Nasal septum rupture.

Contact dermatitis.

Talc powder underneath his nails.

Dr. Baek, nasal septum rupture, contact dermatitis,

and talc powder. What do they mean?

I'm thinking.

I know that you don't tell us until you are certain.

Please don't do that this time.

Something is bothering you.

Right?

Dr. Baek, we have less than two hours now.

Dr. Baek.

Can you let us figure this out with you?

Please say something. Write a novel if you have to.

(Episode 18 will air shortly.)

(Episode 18)

We found a large amount of talc powder underneath his nails.

It means that he worked all day with rubber gloves on.

Right.

That's right. They apply...

talc powder inside the gloves...

so that the gloves don't stick to our hands.

But there are so many places that use rubber gloves.

Why do you think his nasal septum ruptured?

Could it be...

fibroma in the vessels?

No, we should see fungal infections on his face then.

That's not it. Next.

How about pyogenic granuloma?

Then, we should see a lesion on his tongue.

I'm sure that's not it. It's probably acquired.

If he acquired this after birth,

- is it an occupational hazard? - But wait,

there's a whole list for occupational hazards.

His nasal septum ruptured.

It has to do with his respiratory system. That means...

Could it be poisonous gas?

Poisonous gas.

Poisonous gas.

Poisonous gas. Metal plating.

Since they handle acidic solutions, they have to wear rubber gloves.

- Yes. - That's right.

- That must be it. - Okay.

If he had a metal plating job...

I need to run a volumetric examination.

We're heading to Bongchu-dong where the hacker's base is located.

- A hacker? - Yes, once we catch his accomplice,

we might be able to find where Seo Hyun is.

We're in Bongchu-dong too.

Keep retracing his steps.

Who knows? We might run into each other.

- Pardon? - We're on our way to arrest him.

Let's hurry.

Okay, where are you?

I'm sorry, but I don't think we can send you the arrest team.

What do you mean?

The thing is...

everyone from the station is backing up Chief Prosecutor Gal.

He told us to wait because he's going to call the arrest team.

We don't have time to wait!

Let's just get there first.

Darn it.

- This is the place. - What?

Darn it.

- Move back. - We have to wait for the warrant.

We don't have time, do we?

(We Sell and Repair LCD and PDP)

Police! Freeze!

- What's going on? - Stop right there!

- Wha are you doing? - What's happening?

Go, go.

- What's going on? - Sit down. Sit down!

- Give that to me. - What is this?

Darn it. Turn off the laptop and help me.

If you don't, I'll bite you.

- Ms. An Mi Ok. - What do you want?

Get him!

Where is Seo Hyun?

What do you mean? What are you talking about?

You instigated a man to kidnap Seo Hyun.

Kidnap? No, I didn't do it.

Hey, aren't you a hacker?

No, I was playing games.

(An Mi Ok is removed from the suspect list.)

(Remaining Time for Han Seo Hyun: 1 hour and 42 minutes)

Darn it.

The hard drives are gone.

And An Mi Ok wasn't involved.

He must've run in a hurry. We might be able to find a clue.

Yes, let's search this place.

Darn it.

Prosecutor Eun, over here.

Come on.

This...

This looks like...

I think it's a stamp.

"A stamp"?

No way.

Come in.

Wait, what's this?

We found some special paint in the dirt that was left...

in the tire of the motorcycle, so we had it analyzed.

(National Forensics Service, Han Soo Yeon, Real estate fraud)

Ms. Han, you recently verified a stamp, didn't you?

"A stamp"?

Well...

My eyes are so sore.

When will you finish the outlines?

It's such a complex stamp.

(National Forensics Service, Han Soo Yeon, Real estate fraud)

Yes, I did.

I've inspected the same one three times.

I think that jerk purchased the program...

and abetted the kidnapping.

(Inspection on counterfeit stamp)

(Kim Jung Ae)

I found it.

Her name is Kim Jung Ae. She's 48 years old.

She has 23 previous convictions.

She stamped a real estate contract with a counterfeit stamp...

that belonged to an old, demented man.

After Ms. Han verified it to be fake,

her past criminal records were exposed as well.

That woman lost all her money because of you.

She wanted to get back at you.

Where is she?

Sir, the arrest team is on their way.

We have no time. I'll go.

How will you manage it alone? It's too dangerous.

Ms. Eun.

It became my responsibility the moment I shot the kidnapper.

I'll put an end to this.

Please remain here and support Gangdong Police Station.

Sir.

Yes?

Hey, who are you?

We're from Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.

Ms. Kim Jung Ae is here, right?

I have an urgent issue and need to see her. Where is she?

Hey, how would I know about that?

I'm in a hurry right now.

First,

we'll search this building.

Is this a joke to you?

Darn it.

Come on, now.

- How did you know I was here? - I knew this would happen,

so I looked into it.

You're hurt.

How could you be so reckless and not even call for backup?

I'm glad you're here.

What is this? Are you filming an action movie?

Gosh, look at how many of you are here.

Aren't you even ashamed?

Do you want to kill this geezer that badly?

"Geezer"? I'm still young!

Hold on, let me introduce myself.

They call me the Flying Rooster...

of Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.

If you kneel before me right now, I'll let you go this once.

Goodness.

Are you okay?

That was weak for a first punch.

Okay.

From now on, it'll be self-defense.

That's my line, you punk!

Right?

You scumbag.

I told you. I'm still young.

You're quite good.

- You're not bad yourself. - Right?

Come here. Come here.

Come here!

Gosh.

Ms. Kim Jung Ae.

It's all over.

Move aside.

Where are you going?

I'm not going to talk until I have my lawyer.

I'd like a public defender.

What?

Ms. Kim.

You abetted the kidnapping of an NFS worker's daughter,

didn't you?

Do you know how much money I lost because of that wench?

It seems like you haven't found the girl yet.

Oh, my. That's such a pity.

Ms. Kim.

A girl's life is on stake. If you don't cooperate...

Then what? What?

What will you do?

Saying that won't change anything.

It will.

The girl will go back to her home.

What?

What does that have to do with me?

What will you do?

Tell me.

Goodness, Mr. Prosecutor.

What will you do?

Will you put me in jail?

You have 23 previous convictions of fraud. You were on a roll.

Going to prison, this world, and the cops...

must be a joke to you.

But let me promise you one thing.

If the girl doesn't return home safely,

I will make sure you'll never get your money back.

- What? - I'm Deputy Chief Do Ji Han...

of Criminal Division Eight at the Prosecutors' Office.

You better remember me.

During my time at the Special Division,

I singlehandedly found SS Group's slush fund...

of 43 million dollars and returned them to the government.

How much money have you stolen in total?

Is it about 500,000 dollars?

Do you think...

I won't be able to find it?

Scumbags like you can condone heavy sentences,

but you just can't bear losing money.

Kim Jung Ae.

I will make sure...

you don't retrieve a single penny.

I can promise you that.

Fine.

I'll talk.

But you see,

I really don't know where she is.

What?

- What? - I'm telling the truth.

I told him that he could do whatever he wanted...

with the girl.

Tell me about the kidnapper.

He used to work at my restaurant.

I paid him 5,000 dollars.

I heard he's been working at a factory or something.

What kind of factory?

How would I know?

(The arrest of the main culprit, Kim Jung Ae)

(Remaining Time for Han Seo Hyun: approximately 1 hour)

(National Forensics Service)

She doesn't know where Seo Hyun is?

The kidnapper was Lee Doo Chil, 43 years old.

He came to Korea eight years ago.

As he's an illegal immigrant,

he has neither tax details nor certificates.

He worked at a factory, but there's nothing else we know.

We only have 45 minutes left!

We just finished the blood test.

We've found a significant amount of chromium in his blood.

- Is it hexavalent chromium? - It is.

(Content of Hexavalent Chromium)

What? "Chromium"?

He worked at a chromium plating factory.

There are numerous chromium plating factories.

I thought you narrowed down the area?

Hurry up and look for it.

It's an industrial accident! He's bleeding profusely!

- Perforation in his nasal septum. - There was a leakage.

I think he inhaled harmful gases.

Move him to the OR.

We need to sew him up.

Okay.

- Where was this? - At a chromium plating factory.

"Chromium"?

JS...

Chromium...

JS Chromium.

JS Chromium.

(JS Chromium)

(JS Chromium Plating)

(JS Chromium Plating)

Doctor.

Will you be performing the surgery for that patient?

Please suture...

- and operate on him. - What?

Aren't you going to do it?

(Emergency Medical Center)

(Evidence)

(Hanjoo Hospital)

Your call cannot be connected. Please leave...

Darn it.

(Remaining Time for Han Seo Hyun: approximately 17 minutes)

I checked all seven chromium plating factories.

Let's get all men out there and start searching.

- Okay. - Let us go too.

Deputy Chief Do, shouldn't you be in Incheon?

I was near Seoul thanks to a tip-off and decided to come here.

I decided to join because the child doesn't have much time.

We couldn't have caught the real culprit without him.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Thanks for your help,

but you should go back to Incheon now.

What?

You must be busy trying to catch Oh Man Sang.

You shouldn't leave your post.

I'll take over.

Right, I was about to leave anyway.

Okay, good.

- Good luck. - Yes.

Spread out and start searching thoroughly.

- Yes! - Yes.

- Follow me. - That's enough.

Deputy Chief Do pretty much did everything.

- Well, let's go for now. - Yes.

I don't think it's here.

She's not here either.

To the next factory, then.

Move it! Let's go!

(Sungjin Plating)

I found some mold here.

Let's go inside.

Come here.

[VIU Ver] MBC E18 'Partners for Justice S2' "Running out of Time" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

It's not here.

Hey, go search elsewhere!

Seo Hyun!

Seo Hyun, are you okay?

Seo Hyun, are you...

No... No...

Open the door.

Please open the door.

Please open the door!

Open the door.

Mom... Mom! Mom, I'm sorry.

Mom! Mom...

Mom, please...

- Mom, let me out. - Mom, open the door.

Mom, please spare me.

Mom, let me out. Mom.

Mom.

Did you pee again? I told you not to pee.

Take off your clothes! Come here!

I'll cut it off! I'll cut off everything!

I'll cut everyone who lies!

Mom, please spare my life.

Mom, please.

Go away! I don't want to see you!

Mom...

Mom. Mom, there is someone over there.

Mom, there is someone here.

Please open the door, Mom.

Mom...

Mom, there is someone here.

Mom, there are bugs here!

Mom! Mom!

Mom, there are bugs on my body!

I'm scared. Please open the door.

Mom, there are bugs here!

There are bugs here!

Mom, I'm so scared.

Mom, there are bugs here.

I'm scared.

Open the door!

Open this door!

Open the door!

That way! Over there!

Over here!

Be careful.

Prosecutor Eun, over there.

It's not here either.

Over there.

There's mold over there too.

I need the light.

(Cold Room)

It's right here.

It's this one. Hey, call for backup.

186 Bongchu-ro 14-gil, JS Chromium Plating Factory.

Calling for backup.

Turn on the camera.

Yes?

What? Okay.

They found the factory.

They'll turn on the body camera.

Please.

There's the video.

Goodness, there's the camera.

Goodness, please.

Please, Seo Hyun.

Please be there.

The ventilators! It looks the same! That's the place!

Yes! We found it!

We're almost there.

Yes, please.

Seo Hyun.

Look.

Seo Hyun!

Seo Hyun.

Seo Hyun.

What? Seo Hyun isn't there. Where is she?

Hey, why isn't she there?

This isn't good. Let's search the nearby areas.

Seo Hyun...

- Goodness. - No, Dr. Han!

- Wake up! - Soo Yeon!

- No. - Get her up.

- Let's move her out. - This way.

- Oh, gosh. - Dr. Han.

This way.

- Oh, no. - Dr. Han, stay with us.

- My gosh. - Dr. Han, wake up.

- Get ready, everyone. - What?

- I have to go to the scene. - I'll go with you!

- Dr. Han. I'll go too. - Dr. Han.

Wake up.

The kidnapper is dead, the only one who knew where the child was,

and the main culprit is in a detention center. What's going on?

Do we have any other report regarding Seo Hyun?

- No. - What about the CCTV cameras?

This is an area with small factories,

so there are no cameras around here.

Then I'm sure...

there are traffic cameras around here.

We'll ask for Seoul Police Agency's cooperation and search the vicinity.

You lost the child again?

Are you even doing your job?

The kidnapper could have had another accomplice, and...

Do you still have no idea how many accomplices are involved?

How on earth is this investigation going?

We couldn't have caught the main culprit without Deputy Chief Do.

We got the culprit to confess...

only after Deputy Chief Do came here.

Darn it.

Call Deputy Chief Do now!

Find the girl at all costs.

You know what happens if you can't, right?

All of us will have to resign.

Got it?

(Chang Plant)

(Chang Plant)

Everyone, except the NFS, get out!

Please step back.

There they go again.

What can they find with the scene examination?

Tell them to stop wasting time and check the CCTVs instead.

Get out, all of you!

He's so dramatic.

Take photos of everything. Don't miss a thing.

Right here. Did you get that?

Yes.

Did you get any fingerprints?

No, no fingerprints.

I think it's been wiped.

Dr. Baek, this mark shows this part was pounded.

There's no fingerprint on the tape that was used to tie her up.

Jin Ho, what about the entrance?

No fingerprints here either.

Darn it. How could this place have no fingerprints?

It's like this was done by a ghost or something.

Path-finder. Get the footprints.

- There are just too many. - Get all of them!

Okay.

What is there to see?

This one.

Where did you find this one?

That one?

Right here.

Move.

Open up!

What are you doing, Dr. Baek?

Scrape the floor and analyze the substance here.

- This is urgent. - It is?

Send it to the NFS through a courier now.

Dr. Baek!

Dr. Baek, she got the analysis result for the substance.

- Go ahead. - Dr. Baek.

It's the unusual footprint in the floor of the cold room.

From the floor where the footprint was,

I found compounds of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide.

What's the ratio?

0.23 percent of peracetic acid...

and 7.23 percent of hydrogen peroxide.

It's the same ratio for the sterilization guidelines...

approved by the FDA in the US.

That's the solution we use when we clean the special autopsy room.

Hey, that means the footprint was from one of us.

No, no. We're all wearing shoe covers.

Right.

One more person walked into the special autopsy room today.

That jerk.

Don't get in my way.

What are you doing?

You're making me cry.

Is she that special?

Why did you bring her here?

It's because of you.

Dr. Jang.

Dr. Jang.

You're swayed...

by this little girl.

Why?

Do you feel sympathy for her because she only has her mother?

But...

I can no longer watch this.

Stop it. Please.

Dr. Jang.

Who are you talking to right now?

Where's Jang Cheol?

Pardon?

Dr. Jang?

Where's Jang Cheol now?

(Partners for Justice 2)

Why would Dr. Jang take Seo Hyun?

Dr. Jang treated Seo Hyun when she was in the accident.

And he even had a meal with Dr. Han!

The man who took Seo Hyun...

might be Dr. Jang.

Do you have a warrant?

I'll get a warrant.

We can't issue a warrant.

We must.

A kidnapped girl might be at his house.

Is Dr. Jang the perpetrator of the kidnapping case?

As it's an urgent case, we can arrest him on the scene.

I don't think we need a warrant.

Are you absolutely certain that you'll catch him in the act?

Because of what NFS said?

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Hold on.

Did you wipe the handle of the cold room?

We didn't find any fingerprints.

I have the authorities to conduct the investigation on the scene now.

This isn't a simple arrest. It's a rescue mission.
