Original subtitles

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

(in this drama are fictitious.)

Look at Jo Han Soo.

You better not underestimate him because he is mentally ill.

You're under arrest for committing matricide...

and disposing of the body.

You should reveal his face.

We'll hold a committee to discern if we'll expose Jo's identity,

and disclose him depending on the result during the examination.

- Get out! - Get off the van!

Dr. Baek, what are you doing?

This is Ms. Ma's liver.

Will you have the autopsy result when you're done with that?

A committee...

to disclose Mr. Jo's identity is being held at the moment.

- Get off. - Get off the van now.

- Come on out now! - Investigator Yang speaking.

Okay.

Did they decide?

We've just received this breaking news.

Majoong-dong matricide culprit identity disclosure committee...

decided to reveal the suspect's face, name, and age,

in order to prevent repeat crimes,

serve the public with their right to know...

and to punish the suspect.

- He's getting off now. - There he is.

- Look at him. - I can't believe this is happening.

- Murderer! - Come out.

Get off now.

- You come out, you murderer! - Come out of the van!

- Here he is. - He's getting off now.

- He's coming out. - Is that him?

What was your motive?

- Did you plan the murder? - Do you feel guilty? Speak clearly.

That's Dong Woo's dad.

Did you go to your sister to kill her too?

Shut it!

- Shut it! - Stop it!

- You deserve to die! - Let us pass through.

- Die! - He's going in.

- Stop it! - Back off!

- You murderer! - Why did you do it?

Prosecutor Eun.

His identity was disclosed just now.

("The Identity of the Suspect Of the Matricide Case Is Disclosed")

Okay. I got it.

But why did you cut her liver earlier?

I'm sure you had a reason.

The fact that I found nothing is important.

Pardon? What do you mean?

If you're curious, go and get Ms. Ma's medical record.

Medical record?

Check everything.

Excuse me. Ms. Ma Gil Ja...

was born in 1948.

You want her medical record for the past half-century?

It's urgent.

Gosh, I thought he was going to find something.

What if...

we get blamed for all of this?

Darn it.

(Jo Hee Jin)

- Yes? - Prosecutor Eun.

Do crazy people not have any rights?

Ms. Jo.

I get that he'll be locked up in an institution forever.

What about me? And what about Dong Woo?

He's only nine years old.

It'll be only a matter of time that people find out we are his family.

To prevent any secondary damage,

Gangdong Police Station will form a team to protect your family.

But you can't stop people from finding out who we are.

How do you expect us to live in this country?

You were the biggest contributor in closing this case.

Is there anything you'd like to share?

Well, not really.

I only did my job as a prosecutor.

The fact that this will help the public feel at ease...

is rewarding enough for me.

I heard that the process that led to the arrest was unusual.

You led the operation...

to arrest the suspect as a chief prosecutor which is unprecedented.

Goodness.

The police officers and prosecutors on the scene...

did most of the work to make the arrest.

The only thing I did...

was figuring out the suspect's escape route.

He was desperately trying. And he scored a big one.

That was my contribution which was useful in arresting him.

Gosh, he's having a field day.

("Special Interview on Jo Han Soo's Arrest")

You still don't have the result for Ms. Ma's skin analysis?

My gosh, look at all those bottles.

Did you drink on the job?

I found soju on Ms. Ma's skin.

From the entire body.

Soju?

I used different brands to distinguish which one it was.

What was the alcohol content?

12.47 percent alcohol.

(Analysis Result, Alcohol)

Then, it's this one.

Exactly.

Yes, that's the one. How did you know?

Why did you analyze each brand? That must've been a lot of work.

From now on, you can ask me.

Dr. Baek.

Why did she have soju all over her body?

Let's run one more test. Expedite it.

Roger.

(Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office)

(Suspect: Jo Han Soo)

Deputy Chief Do.

Are you still writing the arraignment?

You're back.

What about the autopsy report on Ms. Ma?

They didn't find anything.

But apparently, he said that's important.

- What do you mean? - No one can possibly know.

Gosh, Dr. Psycho.

What about the crime scene examination?

What do you think? Did you think it would go smoothly?

We didn't get anything done.

Right.

It was hard to even communicate with the suspect.

I get that he lost his ability to communicate.

But he doesn't even express his emotions.

That means that he has lost touch with reality that he's in now.

That means that he has lost touch with reality that he's in now.

("The Identity of the Suspect of the Matricide Case Is Disclosed")

How much...

punishment can we impose on an individual like him?

So what?

Is that why you haven't even signed arraignment...

and have been sitting here idly?

Hello, sir.

Jo Han Soo is apparently eating and sleeping well...

at the lock-up.

Knowing that, do you still want to drag this on?

You two, hand this case over to Chief Prosecutor Gal...

and stay out of this.

Let's please think about the public!

Hello.

I asked the NHS to give us all the medical documents...

regarding Ma Gil Ja for the past 72 years.

Look. It's never-ending.

By the way, are you sure we can trust Dr. Psycho?

Recently, he's been making us run around in circles.

My lower back aches so much at night.

But still, let's trust him one more time, okay?

We need to send this over to the NFS...

by tomorrow morning, right?

Do I need to make an express delivery?

"NFS"? I'll go.

Do you think you can carry all of these?

It'll be several boxes.

I can do it. I'm good at this.

(National Forensics Service)

These are Ma Gil Ja's medical records.

They're everything from the past 72 years.

There's so much.

Bring only the surgery records.

"Surgery records"? I don't have the time.

It's urgent.

Darn it.

By the way, does Ms. Han...

not do these types of work?

She does, but she's out right now.

- Det. Kang. - Yes?

Do you want to help me out until she comes?

There's so much to do!

But they looked quite important.

Should I help out?

How's the result? Is it out yet?

I used all sorts of methods such as inductive coupling...

- and got... - Great job. Let me see.

- It's awesome, isn't it? - There's one more left to do.

What do you mean? This is more than enough.

By the way... Gosh.

When is she coming?

I'm not sure. But she'll come.

- Hurry up. - All right, fine.

There's so much.

Dr. Baek, there's so much.

We've covered until 1988.

- Here it is. - What?

- It's here. - What do you mean?

I found this one! What's up with this one?

Dr. Baek, don't tell me...

There's this as well.

Hold on. This is a huge problem.

What do you mean? It's going to become fun now.

What is? Keep me in the loop.

What are you talking about?

- Double-check with the hospital. - Got it.

Sally, run the test again.

Do you not trust me?

I do. So run it again.

- Wait. - Roger.

Excuse me. Darn it.

Why didn't they tell me?

What am I to do?

(Component Analysis Report)

Is this accurate?

I ran the test twice.

I'm 1,000 percent sure.

We called the hospital to double-check.

But haven't we already revealed his identity?

Sir, this won't be over after we give them this report.

They might blame us for being lazy...

and only handing this in now.

Then what should we do?

(Press Conference Regarding the Autopsy of the Victim)

Be prepared.

And make sure they keep the embargo.

Yes, sir.

You should make calls to the relevant departments.

Right.

Dr. Baek, you are certain about this, right?

How many times do I need to repeat myself? You saw it too.

Right, I did. I really did.

Hey, why couldn't you have done it sooner?

But what should we do with them?

("Decision Made to Reveal Jo Han Soo's Identity")

You owe me one, sir.

Look at you, being all proud.

You're so adorable.

You've prevented yourself from getting fired.

Goodness.

I haven't had a private meal with the Prosecutor General...

in a long time.

Didn't I tell you that I'd turn the tables around?

Hold on. Doesn't my tie look a bit crooked?

Sir, Director Park Joong Ho from the NFS called.

- He said it's urgent. - "Urgent"?

Put me through.

Hello, sir. It's Park Joong Ho.

Hello, Director Park.

We haven't received the autopsy report yet,

but you may take your time.

But you see,

I have an important luncheon with the Prosecutor General.

There's no time for that.

What? What do you mean?

(National Forensics Service)

[VIU Ver] MBC E23 'Partners for Justice S2' "The Proof of Guilt" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Goodness. Hello, everyone.

Hello,

Chief Prosecutor Gal.

You all work so hard.

I'm very impressed.

You guys have proven to me once again.

We're doing our best.

Sir.

It has only been a day...

since we revealed Jo Han Soo's identity.

If you decide to go through with this,

as a fellow civil servant, I'll be hurt.

This is Dr. Baek's personal opinion, right?

The higher-ups should subdue...

such loose cannons like him.

"Subdue?"

He was just doing his job as an examiner.

Chief Ma, you too.

You've witnessed him acting out numerous of times.

You should've told him to cut it out from the get-go.

I'm a bit disappointed.

That's exactly why I checked...

the data and test result myself.

As the chief of the Forensic Medicine Division...

who has performed thousands of autopsies for the past 13 years,

I fully acknowledge...

his report.

What? Hold on, hold on.

Sir, are you truly the Chief Ma that I knew?

This is very unlike you.

Sir.

As for all the autopsy reports here at the NFS,

we prioritize the opinion of the medical examiner in charge.

As for the medical examiner in charge,

he is required to perform the autopsy with a conscience...

as a scientist and a doctor.

My gosh.

What will you do if the NFS takes the blow as well?

Are you that confident?

Director Park.

Why am I speaking at the press conference?

Then who else should do it?

You should. You always did it.

You love being in front of cameras.

Then how about we cancel the press conference altogether?

Dr. Baek, you will speak today.

This is ridiculous.

Dr. Baek. I mean, sir. Could you spare me a minute?

Can we talk, please?

Dr. Baek, you must be quite exhausted these days.

Your face looks so haggard. Did you pull an all-nighter?

I feel bad for you.

You know that phrase you guys like to use.

"An autopsy alone cannot determine the cause of death."

How about you tell them so?

I'll take care of the rest.

Jo Han Soo won't be incarcerated.

It'd be best for him to be sent to a mental institute, wouldn't it?

I just want to make things easy for everyone.

Why can't you just get along?

It seems like...

you're uncomfortable about speaking in public.

So let's just bury this.

- This is driving me insane. - Isn't it?

See? You're feeling uncomfortable.

We should start to get to know each other.

I can be quite helpful, you know?

I'll repay you for this, okay?

Sally, you should speak at the press conference.

Roger. I'll explain my test.

Just take care of everything while you're at it.

No way. We're in this together.

You're the sniper, and I'm the spotter.

Hey.

Darn it.

Look here, Dr. Baek.

It seems like talking nicely won't cut it.

- I'm busy. Move aside. - Hold on.

You're really pushing my buttons here.

Hey, do you think you're all that?

- What? - I'm the chief prosecutor.

Do you want me to dig into your secrets too?

Get out. You can dig them up outside. Leave.

My gosh.

Why are you so proud? Why are you acting all noble?

Are you the king of autopsies or something?

- Isn't that Chief Prosecutor Gal? - I think it is.

He seems to be extremely upset.

Hold on. What's going on?

Help me out just this once.

My career is in your...

Take him outside.

I'm embarrassed by him.

Let's go.

Let's head over.

(Partners for Justice 2)

(Episode 12: The Proof of Guilt)

(An evidence that directly connects the suspect to the culprit)

First of all,

I express my condolences for the victim who passed away.

The result of Ms. Ma's autopsy...

will be presented by Medical Examiner Baek Beom...

who conducted the autopsy...

and Dr. Sally Kim, who conducted related chemical experiments...

which were necessary for the process.

Let me share my opinion on the examination result of...

the stab and cut wound and the weapon,

which were the evidence against Jo, the key suspect.

The picture you're seeing here is...

the stab and cut wound on the victim's neck,

which was presumed as the main cause of her death.

This morning, the NFS confirmed...

that this wound was not the cause of death.

- What? - That's not the reason?

- What does he mean? - Then why did she die?

- What? - It makes no sense.

I thought that was the most fatal wound.

It was due to deep resentment.

I think Chief Ma said that.

I was...

just speaking on the statistics. It's the statistics.

What in the world are you saying?

If that's not the cause of death, then why is the wound there?

Tell us more in detail.

We found out that she received...

thyroidectomy 35 years ago.

Let's take this off.

The wound from that time...

ruptured in the decomposing process.

Hey, I... I brought her medical record...

and searched through. I found everything.

My eyes got really dry back then.

I'm okay now, though. I can blink again.

- Oh, I see. - Yes.

I did it with you too. Don't pretend like you did it alone.

I'm saying that I did more.

For your information, if the skin is cut with a scalpel,

the cells will have a harder time binding together.

So when the body is filled with gas due to decomposition,

that part ruptures first.

A deep cut on the neck. Presumably cut with a sharp tool.

The wound was mistaken as a deep cut.

Is the pressure of gas caused by decomposition that strong?

Yes, for example,

if a body is buried under the concrete in secret,

the gas from the decomposition will break the concrete open.

It's that strong.

That's her neck.

But there were five more cuts found in her abdomen.

How are you going to explain that?

Let's take a look at the cuts on her abdomen.

Among the five,

the only one cut which could be fatal is...

this one right here, on the upper right corner.

If you stab this part deeply to kill a person,

your liver will be stabbed.

Therefore, to find out how much of her liver was damaged,

we examined the cross-section of her liver.

And the result shows...

that there was no damage to the organ or any blood vessels.

Hence, the cuts on her abdomen...

weren't fatal wounds.

- Then what is it? - What caused her death?

Oh, so that's why.

"The fact that I found nothing is important."

Are you sure about this?

She could have died from getting stabbed multiple times.

That's impossible.

Take it.

Yes, I'll explain the reason.

The blood on the kitchen knife, the presumed murder weapon,

was target-tested twice.

We found hydrogen sulfide and ammonia gas.

These are two types of gases found during the decomposition.

Why were such gases found on the weapon?

Let's look at the picture taken from another angle.

If a body is decomposed to this point,

the abdomen has to be full due to gas.

But as you can see,

her abdomen is thin.

That means the gas escaped through those cuts.

Are you saying the kitchen knife isn't the murder weapon?

Yes, the cuts on her abdomen were made...

after her death...

to take out the gas from her abdomen.

It has nothing to do with the cause of her death.

Jo was presumed as a suspect...

because of the cuts and the fingerprints...

left on the weapon.

However, after a detailed examination...

the NFS concluded this morning,

we have not found anything suspicious about him.

- What? - There's nothing suspicious?

- What is this, then? - What happened?

Then why did the victim die?

Are you saying she died a natural death?

Most of her organs are gone due to decomposition,

so we cannot know what the cause of her death is.

That's all.

Wait. Let me ask you one last question.

Then...

why did Jo Han Soo do something like that on his mother's dead body?

The answer is...

Show them the nails and toenails.

These are her nails and toenails.

When nails fall out due to decomposition,

it is very difficult to estimate when they were fallen out.

However, if he kept all of her nails together,

that means he took a look at her at least once a day.

And I also found traces of soju all over her body.

In another word, Mr. Jo...

took out the gas from her decomposing body,

cleaned her body with soju, wiped her body,

and kept her nails and toenails.

This is the way...

a child usually nurses and looks after...

their sick parent, their mom.

That's all.

Great job on sniping them down.

Don't make me do something like this.

That means Jo Han Soo isn't the culprit.

Man, this is a bad case of false reporting.

This is driving me crazy.

Gosh.

- What are we going to do? - Take it all back.

- What are we supposed to say? - What he said.

(The NFS autopsy result contradicts Prosecution's investigation)

(Who will be responsible for disclosing his identity?)

My goodness.

Mr. Jo, the murder suspect,

was found innocent thanks to the NFS autopsy result.

People argue that the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office...

should take responsibility for exposing his identity.

("An Unreasonable Targeted Investigation of the Prosecution!")

Hey.

Hey, then what are we going to do now?

No idea. I haven't gotten any sleep lately, so I can't think anymore.

- Keep up your work. - Okay, get some rest.

Mr. Jo has been vindicated,

but we don't have any lead...

on the death of Ms. Ma.

What are we going to say to her bereaved family?

(Daedeok-dong Community Center)

I want to report a death.

One moment, please.

But the death day is empty.

You have to fill that out.

Well...

I haven't received the autopsy report yet.

The autopsy report?

Oh, Ms. Ma Gil Ja.

That's the case...

Are you her daughter?

- Yes. - One second.

Let me run it through.

By any chance,

did she pass away before the 20th of last month?

I guess so.

She was found on the 25th,

but she was badly decomposed.

I'm sorry. I think something went wrong here.

What? What is it?

Every 20th is the payday for her living allowance.

Then she would have received her allowance after her death.

How much does she get?

She gets 870 dollars.

Our social worker, Ms. Hwang Bong Sook is in charge.

Haven't you heard?

Not at all.

- Why are you here? - Where's Grandma's passbook?

- I don't know. Get out of here! - Think about it.

You must know where she keeps her valuables.

Get out of my house!

I have to check something on it. Where is it?

Why? Do you want to take her money away...

now that she's dead?

- What? - You abandoned us,

then you came back after you heard that she's dead!

You little brat.

That's why people take advantage of you.

Move.

- Get out! - Where is it?

- Get out of here! - I have to find it!

- Don't touch her things! Get out! - Where is it?

Move aside, will you?

- Get out! - Where is it?

What is this?

- A housekeeping book. - Give it to me!

"Bean sprouts, 1.20 dollars. Cabbage, 88 cents."

My gosh, you were so miserable.

Don't touch her things!

What's this?

Move aside!

Give it back!

I knew it.

Fine, look at this. Look.

Why? What about this?

You have to tell me everything honestly.

- What? - You and your grandma were...

conned!

You must be surprised to suddenly get called here.

- Yes. - Ms. Hwang,

you were just reported...

by Ms. Jo for living expense fraud and embezzlement.

What? Fraud?

What on earth did I do?

This is the household ledger Ms. Ma kept...

until the day she died.

- Take a look. - Okay.

If you look here,

you'll notice that she'd been receiving 870 dollars every month,

but she only spent...

200 dollars a month.

I think someone must have pocketed the money in the middle.

I couldn't find her bankbook either.

Do you have Ms. Ma's bankbook,

Ms. Hwang Bong Sook?

Gosh, you got me scared for a second.

Of course, I have it.

I was their proxy in charge of managing the living allowance.

You were their proxy?

Ms. Ma wasn't able to manage...

the finances herself due to presbyopia.

And as you know, Mr. Jo wasn't capable of doing so.

That's why...

I'm listed as their proxy at the borough office.

It's very common for families with disabilities or elderlies.

It's very common for families with disabilities or elderlies.

I see. Is that so?

Here.

What's this?

As you can see, it's the photo from the security camera at the ATM...

where you withdrew Ms. Ma's living allowance.

No, listen. I managed her finances on her behalf.

What's wrong with this?

Look at the date.

June 25.

You withdrew money even after Ms. Ma...

had passed away.

Well...

I had so many things going on.

I must have forgotten that she passed away.

I already talked to Ms. Ma how to proceed with this.

I took out cash from the bank and gave it to her in person.

I don't think that's how she understood it.

Bring him in.

Come in.

Dong Woo.

Why are you here? You should be at school.

Unbelievable. How could you bring him here? Goodness.

Dong Woo, are you all right? Did you have lunch?

I saw everything.

Saw what?

You fought with my grandma on my birthday.

Ms. Hwang.

Withdraw 1,000 dollars.

I think I should send Han Soo to a hospital.

1,000 dollars?

What are you talking about?

Am I holding onto your money?

I don't have any money.

No, you said that if I save up some of the living allowances,

you said you would save that money for Dong Woo's college.

I just want to use some of that money now.

My gosh.

Come on. Withdraw 1,000 dollars. Okay?

Goodness.

It's all right. It's okay.

What did you do in the room when you were alone with her?

Did you fight about the living allowance?

And Ms. Ma...

was murdered presumably that day.

(Episode 24 will air shortly.)

Murdered?

Wait, do you think I murdered her?

Goodness, sir. You've got the wrong idea.

Stop talking nonsense.

You used all of that money to feed and clothe your family.

What? All of the money?

That's not right.

You told me to spend 200 dollars, so you could save the rest.

When did I say that? Am I your bank?

Then, why did you take the money...

that Han Soo and Dong Woo earned from selling the corns?

No, no. That was for your side dishes.

Side dishes, my foot.

How could you spend that money?

My son and grandson earned every penny of that money...

while working in the sun.

How could you do that to us?

- You thief! - "Thief"?

Yes, you're a thief!

You thief!

- Ms. Ma, did you call me a thief? - She must've gone senile.

She was making such outrageous accusations.

You thief!

This is so petty.

Okay. Take everything!

That's why I gave her everything in my purse...

including all the coins.

Coins?

Hey, wait. Do not step on the coins.

Why are there so many coins?

There were coins on the floor of Ms. Ma's bedroom.

Are you telling me that...

Ms. Ma died after getting hit with the coins?

Dong Woo, you saw her, didn't you?

After I left, she was fine. Aren't I right?

I'm okay. Go back in.

It's okay.

People say it's useless to take in strangers.

This is why we shouldn't help those people in need.

Goodness, how could you repay me like this?

My gosh. I feel so wronged!

Goodness, this is unbelievable.

My goodness. Oh, dear!

(The type of death is...)

The coins could be the cause of death.

Especially to the elderlies,

even the smallest external force can cause sudden deaths.

Except for the coins, we didn't find any external force.

I'm sure you know about the recent case.

In court, they didn't recognize the coins as the cause of death.

Yes, I know.

The cause of death is unknown due to decomposition.

The type of death is unidentified.

This is the final autopsy report on Ms. Ma's case.

(Autopsy Report)

It took long.

I told you. Decomposed bodies can lie.

Besides, autopsies don't always lead to a cause of death.

You should know by now.

But...

I do have one question.

Why do you think Mr. Jo...

hid his mother's body to Dong Woo?

How would I know that?

That's out of the NFS' jurisdiction.

Yes, Deputy Chief Do.

Prosecutor Eun.

We need to bring in people relevant to Ms. Ma's case again.

I've found something interesting.

- Here you go. - Okay.

Ms. Hwang,

I just have one last question to ask.

You knew that Ms. Ma had passed away,

- right? - Seriously?

The police caused quite a scene after...

No, I'm talking about before the police came.

What?

What are you talking about?

We've looked into it.

You've taken a mortgage loan out on your apartment.

And every month, you pay 600 dollars for the interest.

And your interest is due on the 25th of every month.

So what?

Everyone has a loan these days.

You must've needed money on that day every month.

What about it?

This is the breakdown of your loan payment.

If you look here, at 4:32pm on the 25th,

you wired 600 dollars, the interest.

This was exactly 20 minutes after you withdrew...

Ms. Ma's living allowance of 870 dollars.

The bank that you wired the money...

was about 15 minutes from where you were.

You used her living allowance...

to pay for your loan interest.

These days, they can find out everything by compiling...

all the CCTV footages from the bank.

Hold on. It's not like that.

So what happened was... I mean...

Ms. Hwang.

You used someone else's disability...

for your personal gain.

According to Article 348 of the Criminal Code,

you're under arrest for fraud.

- Arrest her. - Yes, sir.

No! Wait!

Look. Let me...

- Let me explain. - Let's go.

No, no, please!

You can explain in the interrogation room.

Please spare me! Please!

I had no idea.

I pity my grandma.

Dong Woo.

We have good news about your dad.

- What? - What?

He's been taking his medication...

- and has gotten better. - Really?

- Yes? - Come in.

This way.

Dad!

Dong...

Dong Woo.

Dad.

Are you okay now?

Are you really okay?

Dad!

Dad...

Well...

I have something to tell you.

Sure.

Mr. Jo did get much better,

but the doctors still said that he's not fully well...

to live alone with his son.

For Dong Woo's safety,

he will be spending some time apart from his father...

and will be staying at a facility.

We need his guardian's signature.

(Gangseo Manpower)

Aunt, we bought cooking oil.

Dad took his medication too.

I see.

Hee Jin,

here you go.

Thanks.

What are you doing? Please hurry.

I don't have much time.

I'm sorry.

Something must've gotten in my eye.

Han Soo.

When I die,

don't tell anyone about it.

And you can dispose of my body wherever you want.

That way, the government will keep giving my living allowance.

Okay?

Yes.

My gosh!

Are you still like this?

What do you mean? I'm fine.

Let's go to your house.

- What? - I mean...

I feel bad about arriving too late during that parrot mission.

Until your trauma disappears,

I'll help you. Let's go.

Did you know?

Parrots are monogamous.

They only mate with one parrot their entire life.

Help me out forever.

You're all healed.

- You're good to go. - Help me.

No, you're doing great. You can go home on your own.

- Help me. - Goodbye. See you tomorrow.

- Bye. - Help me.

No, bye.

- I'm scared. Wait up. - I'll see you tomorrow.

No!

- It's so big. - It's huge.

- Have some. - Let's eat together.

Together? All right.

(Humongous Fried Squid)

It's so good.

Help yourself.

- Okay. - Let's play a game.

Shall we?

What are you doing?

If you laugh, you lose!

You laughed. I won.

I lost.

I didn't laugh.

Then you should do it this time.

My goodness.

Dr. Jang, how did you do that?

Thank you so much for making time for us.

Seo Hyun is having a great time.

You're not anxious.

What?

Seo Hyun.

She hasn't regained her memory yet.

If it's a painful memory,

then don't you think it'd be okay to forget about it like this?

Mom. Dr. Jang. I'm done with my drawing.

Come on, you drew this again?

You should draw something else.

This is the only thing she draws these days.

Seo Hyun, our bed doesn't look like that.

That's not our bed.

- What? - That's not our bed.

By the way,

why is the bed empty?

Because it is. No one's on it.

Isn't it funny? It's an empty bed.

I'm going to draw another one.

Dr. Jang,

are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I need to go.

My mother needs to take her medication as well.

Goodbye.

Mother!

Mother!

Where...

I'm sorry I'm late. I'll give you your medication.

Mother.

Mother!

Mother.

Mother.

Mother!

Mother...

Excuse me. Are you the one who made the call?

Hey, can you hear me? Wake up.

Don't touch her.

We need to cover the floor with vinyl first.

Why do you have wounds on your hand?

No.

No!

You killed her, didn't you?

It was you...

who killed Mom, right?

Yes.

I killed her.

But...

she died ages ago.

Did you just find that out?

You must have a headache again.

Why is the bed empty?

Gal Dae Cheol tells you to let her take drugs, doesn't he?

You are the one...

who has been taking the drugs...

to stop me from coming out.

Mother, take your drugs.

Do you know...

how hilarious it was...

to sit here and watch you put on a show?

No...

Not...

anymore.

You like Seo Hyun, don't you?

You want to meet her and her mom...

once again, don't you?

Are you sure you don't have to see them?

Stop talking nonsense!

You.

Go away!

I recently became...

too weak.

I need to be stronger.

I have to be strong...

to survive.

(Chief Prosecutor Gal Dae Cheol)

What are you doing?

- Hey! - You're here.

You're seven minutes late.

- What's going on? - Goodness.

I guess you haven't heard.

A special inspection team for you has been established.

As a precaution for a suspect of corruption,

your duties will be suspended as of this moment.

You recently came on TV and got your big break.

What horrible timing, isn't it?

I will see you later at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

Right.

Don't go too far.

I came to get the cases transferred.

Do Ji Han.

Are you the acting chief prosecutor?

I guess that's how things will work around here for a while.

Congrats.

Thanks, I'm so grateful.

Look at the nose.

Wow, it's getting more defined. Looks just like his grandfather.

Goodness, why couldn't my father live a little longer?

Lunch is almost over.

I'll take a taxi. You can go first.

It's okay. I'll drive you there.

Our operation is almost over.

Great work.

You're getting ahead of yourself again.

You have to stay focused to the end.

Keep your mouth shut until you have him for sure.

Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.

(Ob-Gyn, Pediatrics)

Oh, there's a car here.

Wait here.

Goodness, I'm sorry.

Are you the owner? Could you move the car?

Is this your first child?

I never knew your wife was such a beauty.

Honey, can you go to your car?

Who is this?

It's okay. You can stay in the car.

I guess you're very quick because you're Prosecutor Do's junior.

I'm Yoo Tae Jun, the CEO of Jinseong Law Firm.

I do a lot of work for Sungjin Group.

A huge corporate has been following an officer of National Tax Service?

I guess you're in a hurry.

"Following"?

This was a coincidence.

I just parked poorly.

I looked a little into you.

The house lease rate of your town increase quite a lot.

You'll have a child soon too. Did you find a new house yet?

Take this.

(Baby Love)

Consider this as your house lease loan.

Give me what you have.

We laundered it very well...

to not cause any allergies.

- Excuse me. - Why?

Is it too small?

This is just a token of our appreciation.

Just move your car, please.

[VIU Ver] MBC E24 'Partners for Justice S2' "Jo Han Soo Gets Vindicated" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Goodness.

Just black bean noodles because I'm a nobody now?

- What's this? - A guy named Park Young Soo...

with National Tax Service, a very persistent investigator.

He has been onto Sungjin like a leech.

He has been causing us quite some trouble.

- Park Young Soo? - And I found out...

that he used to plan operations with Do Ji Han in the Special Division...

back when he was in Seoul Central Prosecutors’ Office.

And his wife was Mr. Do's direct assistant.

He was Do Ji Han's resource.

Your investigation began because of Park Young Soo too.

The NTS gave the information to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

I knew it.

So what?

- Don't you want your power again? - What?

Do you want me to do a targeted investigation on the NTS officer?

How dare you try to pull that? Do you think I'm an idiot?

You sound too calm for someone who was just suspended.

We have...

no time to lose.

Prosecutor Song Ji Soo of the Special Inspection Team...

isn't nicknamed Empress for no reason.

- If this goes wrong... - Are you...

threatening me right now?

I'm not telling you to get blood on your hands.

You have that guy.

- Doctor K. - Mr. Yoo.

Everyone might go down at this rate.

You have to be stronger.

Isn't that great?

You can blame that crazy guy for all the mistake you made...

including the spree killer incident,

clean up everything, and find a way to survive.

This is...

the last chance that Sungjin is offering you.

(Gal Dae Cheol)

Hey, you need to cover up.

What if you get caught?

- Goodbye. - What's with you?

It's okay.

It'll be over soon.

Let go. There's something else.

- What? - Your dad.

Let go of me. Let go.

You need to meet your father.

Don't you want to know where he is?

It's not like you are...

registered as the old man's son. How will you find him?

I'm the only one...

who knows your dad's address.

What do you want?

- What about this? - Get rid of it.

And let's get ready to leave.

I'll get rid of all the records in Hanjoo Hospital.

We'll get caught if we leave too many clues.

If you let him go on, it'll be over for us.

- "Us"? - Yes.

That NFS guy already found out all of your modus operandi!

Who?

Hello.

Hello.

Did you touch a dead body today?

Did you clean the doorknob of the cold room?

The fingerprint wasn't there.

Baek Beom.

- He's no match for me. - Oh Man Sang...

and the serial murder.

That jerk, Baek Beom, solved both of the cases!

It's only a matter of time he figures out who you are!

Don't talk back to me.

Just follow my orders like you've been doing until now.

I'll take care of him on my own.

(Case Report on the Serial Murder in Bango-dong)

(Case Report)

I see.

Here's what you requested from the Eastern District Office.

This is the only place...

where the suspect of the serial murder was caught on camera.

Let me see.

Angiokeratoma?

Yes, I'm here. Okay.

(National Forensics Service)

Dr. Jang, here!

Is it okay if we eat at my workplace?

Yes, it's fine by me.

By the way, you look different today.

Is it because you have your hair down?

- You think so? - We should go in.

- Okay. - Okay.

Dr. Baek. You're still here.

He just wanted to say hello.

Who?

Hello.

He was in the neighborhood, so he came to have dinner with me.

("Understanding Genetics")

I heard you were a surgeon.

You have a lot of books on cardiothoracic surgery.

But it looks like you don't have any books on snake medicine.

Let me join you.

I didn't have dinner yet either.

Do you want to?

Yes, it's on me.

Okay. Let's go.

I should have bought you a better meal.

No, this is nice. It's like a home-cooked meal.

Do you live alone?

What about your family?

His mother is sick.

No,

I live alone.

The other day, you said you had to give her the medicine.

No, I think you might've been mistaken.

I live alone.

I see.

Hello?

Expedited analysis?

Okay. I'm on my way now.

Let me just go and register it. Please don't mind me.

Okay.

I heard that you are double board-certified in GS and EM.

- Yes. - You're well-versed in dermatology?

- Yes. - Do you know angiokeratoma?

It's visible on the entire body when the patient has Fabry disease.

You know it well.

But is it possible for the patient to have symptoms...

at one point and not have them later?

- It's not possible. - Right?

I get it. It's genetic.

But there's an exception. DID.

Dissociative identity disorder.

When the patient has multiple personalities,

each personality may have different types of diseases.

On the contrary, a patient can have perfectly normal eyesight...

and be blind at the same time.

Right?

"DID."

Well, it's only a theory even among the psychiatrists.

But it's only a hypothesis that has no medical proof.

And there hasn't been a patient like that in Korea.

But the main cause of DID...

is domestic abuse during childhood.

Is that true?

You're writing a novel.

Or you should prove it yourself...

if you can.

What were you talking about? You two look so serious.

Dr. Baek told me an interesting story.

I did?

I should get going.

I still have work left.

See you around.

Let me walk him out.

When Seo Hyun was kidnapped,

Dr. Jang was caught on the CCTV, right?

Yes, I probably have the footage when I looked into his whereabouts.

Send it to me.

What? Why do you need that now?

That's odd. Why is Dr. Baek interested in a living person?

You haven't changed.

You know that once I start a new operation, I stop drinking.

That's a lot of hard work.

By the way, it's Eun Young's last month of pregnancy.

Should you be working like this?

She'll put up with it only until our baby is born.

After this operation, I'll take paternity leave.

Why don't you be a stay-at-home dad for the greater good of the country?

You should send Eun Young back to Central District Office.

(Prosecutor Eun Sol)

(Prosecutor Eun Sol)

Get home safe. And tell her I said hi.

Okay. Get home safe.

Bye.

(Partners for Justice 2)

How could this happen?

Young Soo!

What on earth happened?

Please expedite the autopsy.

What's all the fuss?

I'm certain that this isn't an accidental death.

That jerk disguised his death as an accident.

- "That jerk"? - Doctor K.

I'm already bleeding here.

I have nothing to lose.

I don't care which one of us survives.

We'll take this to the end.

Why are you performing...

an autopsy on a guy who died from a snake bite?

I told you to get back now!

You didn't find anything other than the snake bite?

I've never seen someone...

die from snake venom during my 11 years here.

Are you telling me that he wasn't murdered?
