Here's the analysis report of tetrodotoxin in Yeom Sang-goo.

Toxic Substance Report

- So what? - That's not the cause of death.

He didn't take a lethal dose.

What?

You guys found tetrodotoxin, but he didn't take a lethal dose?

The toxic substance report just came out.

Traces of toxic substances take long by nature.

Traces?

Traces of poison can kill rats, but not people.

Then how do you explain Yeom Sang-goo's death?

If it wasn't the tetrodotoxin, why did he die?

I don't know yet. I haven't found what caused the external injuries.

External injuries?

Oh, the skin abrasions on his calf and burn marks on the knees?

Should I tell you what you told me before?

Those injuries aren't enough to kill a man.

In February of 2018, middle-aged men got into a fight on the street.

An angry man punched the other guy in the face.

Just one punch.

But the guy who was punched died in his sleep at home.

The cause of death, heart attack due to ischemic heart diseases.

But he didn't die of an illness.

The deceased had a heart disease, and the punch affected his heart.

Are you lying to me again?

No, take a look.

Look. It's a true story.

A Punch Kills a Man with a Heart Disease

When a patient has an acute heart disease,

a punch is enough to trigger the heart attack.

That's why we call it the catalysis, not the cause of death.

A minor pressure that can worsen a condition

But not all heart diseases are caused by these minor pressures.

Bruises on your arms and legs go away within a few days,

but not the heart. When the heart is bruised, you die.

That's why we must find it out. Okay?

You're here.

We should release Kim Hyo-jin, right?

We can't prove her motive, and she's irrelevant to the cause of death.

Okay. Let's release her.

And we'll go back to square one and start the investigation again.

Unidentified burn marks.

Doctor, these are the materials for tomorrow's autopsies.

Every contact leaves a trace.

Yes, of course.

There's a trace, but what was in contact?

Sorry? What contact?

- Get ready. We're leaving. - Pardon? Go where?

You already saw the crime scene. We already took all the evidence.

It's been three weeks since the gas got cut off.

Get the dryers,

iron, and any products that might heat up in the home.

The oldest son, Yeom Dae-chul, got married 13 years ago.

He has a son who's in middle school.

His business went under five years ago. He works at a company now.

His only apartment was auctioned off when he couldn't pay the mortgage.

And the second oldest, Yeom Ji-sook.

After she got a divorce, she runs a clothing stall in Dongdaemun.

She's behind on her rent and used up all her deposit,

so she's about to be kicked out.

What about Yeom Sang-goo's assets? Did he leave an inheritance?

His only asset was the home he resided in.

After the redevelopment plan was approved, the value multiplied.

I heard that last year, there was quite a scene in that neighborhood.

To sum up, with the insurance money and the property,

they could've gotten $600,000 to $700,000 when he died.

Something is very fishy about the family.

The fact that they were financially struggling,

and they caused a big scene to change the cause of death.

In the initial questioning, both Yeom Dae-sik and Kim Hyo-jin lied.

We can't believe their statements.

I'll ask questions about Yeom Dae-chul, Yeom Ji-sook,

and their acquaintances.

Didn't the father live in a collective housing area?

Most of the residents are retired senior citizens, right?

They wouldn't open up to strangers.

Then should I give it a try?

- No, I... - Hello, ma'am. Hi.

Why don't you have a drink each?

Gosh. Thank you.

My pleasure. You're friends of Uncle Sang-goo, right?

- Yes. - Who are you?

- Do you know Mr. Yeom? - I'm his niece.

I'm from Anseong.

I came to visit him since it's been a while.

Gosh, may I sit down?

I mean, Uncle Sang-goo...

isn't the type who'd leave that easily.

When it comes to age, there's no set order of departure.

Gosh, he had the worse luck when it came to children.

What do you mean? He had three children.

What good are they?

They never showed up once.

- Hey, you got all the points. - You got all the points.

- You got the points. Keep going? - Pardon?

- Yes, go. Keep going. - Keep going? Okay.

Then I guess his children didn't take care of him.

His son came to visit not so long ago.

Which one? The oldest?

I live in the home behind his.

It looked like he was taking Mr. Yeom to a nice place by car.

Do you remember when that was?

Goodness, how could I remember that?

The days are all the same for me now.

- You got them. You got the points! - Goodness.

- Goodness. - This is your third time.

- You're right. I got the points. - Gosh.

- Every point costs 1 cent, right? - Yes, 1 cent.

You don't have enough cards, light cards, and red ribbon cards.

- And I have the trio. - It's your third time.

Then it comes out to $134.84.

- Goodness. - Oh, my. What's all this?

- You're in big trouble. - Gosh. Goodness.

All that matters is that we all had fun.

Then why don't I just forget about the score?

Gosh, it's so hot. This is stuffy.

It's been ages since I played. My fingers feel so stiff.

Hi, Prosecutor Eun.

The oldest son, Yeom Dae-chul, visited Yeom Sang-goo.

The whole family are professionals.

We keep finding new things about them.

This isn't a merely dysfunctional family.

It's a family full of hidden agendas.

Please look into Yeom Dae-chul's recent card statement.

We must find out the time of his secret visit to Yeom Sang-goo.

Opening of 24-Hour Specialized Center for Dementia

This is it.

This is the place.

On June 17, the day before Yeom Sang-goo's death,

Yeom Dae-chul swiped and canceled a bill for $780.

Specialized center for dementia? He said he didn't know about that.

Let's go to the administration and check.

Let's go inside.

Patient Yeom Sang-goo?

He was to get tested for dementia on June 17 at 10 a.m.,

but he didn't get tested.

What? Why is that?

That day, Mr. Yeom disappeared from the parking lot.

Can we look at the surveillance camera from that day?

- Please look here. - Okay.

June 17... June 17. You said it was in the morning, right?

Yes.

Here. Here he is.

The guardian came alone and checked in.

Then he said he'd bring his father.

Then did he go missing right after that moment?

I'm not exactly sure.

Look at that.

Wait, isn't that Yeom Ji-sook?

You're right.

We've been after Yeom Dae-chul.

Why is she suddenly popping into the picture?

When did this car leave?

After the old man went missing,

his guardian came back and took the car to find him.

The son and daughter, who weren't in touch with him for five years,

suddenly came to see him.

And he passed away the day after.

I'm sure something was going on.

I need to find out the whereabouts of...

both Yeom Dae-chul and Yeom Ji-sook on this day.

Cell phones automatically connect...

to base stations even if you aren't on a call.

If we analyze the data of base stations with their phones,

we'll be able to find out their whereabouts.

All right.

That way.

May I ask you something?

Have you seen this guy on the morning of Sunday, June 17?

I don't know.

Can you take a closer look?

I don't know.

Can you at least take a look? See if you can remember.

Goodness.

Work must be tough. She's angry.

- Let's go. - Let's leave.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello, we're from Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor's Office.

It's about the morning of June 17.

A woman in her thirties and a man in his seventies were here, right?

When is that?

The old man had dementia,

so he must've been here with his daughter.

Dementia?

Oh, could it be them?

Do you remember anything?

They were sitting at that table there.

They only ordered a glass of juice...

and left about ten minutes after, if I remember correctly.

This is 130 Songpadae-ro.

So this is the 130.

What kept him so busy after he lost his father?

Why did he stay here for an hour?

Dong-sik, wake up. We have to go.

Leave me alone for an hour.

You want to sleep for an hour? He stayed here for an hour.

We have to go. Come on out.

What? Darn it.

Hey, don't be so tough with us.

We know that Yeom Dae-chul was here.

We need the information for our investigation.

According to Article 26 of the Attorney-at-Law Act,

I can't disclose any confidential information about my client.

My gosh. You're so awful.

Taking Care of the Elderly with Dementia

- One second. - What is it?

Q&A of Adult Guardian System of the Elderly with Dementia

My grandfather has been a bit funny lately.

I'll come back to discuss it with you.

Let's go.

Police Patrol Division

Yeom Ji-sook.

Yeom Ji-sook? Oh, here she is.

She brought an old man who was lost.

What?

- She brought her dad here? - What?

That old man was her father.

Wait, that can't be right.

She said she brought him because he seemed mentally unstable.

She made sure I promised to take him back home.

- Goodness. - That's odd.

- Prosecutor Eun. - What's going on?

Mr. Kang, Mr. Cha. What brings you two here?

This is where Yeom Dae-chul's last signal was found.

Why are you two here?

Yeom Ji-sook left her dad here.

One came to leave him here, and the other took him.

They put on a huge show with their dad.

Did Yeom Dae-chul take his dad then go home?

Yes, that's what shows on his cell phone trace.

What about Yeom Ji-sook?

She left him here, then went somewhere again.

Ms. Yeom came to change...

the beneficiary of Mr. Yeom Sang-goo's insurance.

She said Mr. Yeom wanted to change the beneficiary.

She brought the documents,

but it was missing a few things, so it never got cleared.

It was requested by Mr. Yeom?

Yes.

We should have the paper with his thumbprint.

Right here.

Application to Change the Beneficiary

Signed by Yeom Sang-goo

I'll take this.

Do you know any good pork skin places?

Pork skin? I can never have enough of that.

Let's go.

What?

Sigang Pork Skin

This is a famous place. It has the best pork skin.

Did you ask them not to cut it?

Of course. I'll cut it myself.

Yes!

We aren't going to eat it.

What?

Put it in here.

Evidence

How much is this?

Darn it.

My gosh.

National Forensic Service

This is different. Another one.

What are you doing?

I thought I smelled some meat burning. That smells.

Then get out.

Oh, my gosh. Is this new Korean barbeque?

It looks weird, but it tastes great.

What are you doing?

We're looking for the weapon that burned Yeom Sang-goo.

Do you have to try this to know?

Pork skin doesn't do the trick. Show me your skin.

Goodness, what's wrong with you?

That's enough.

- Get out if you won't help. - Me?

You're responsible if the fire alarm goes off. Okay?

Let's go.

What did you two do...

on June 17?

That's the day before your dad passed away.

I worked. I worked overtime too.

I was working at my shop too.

And then?

You met with your dad.

You both told me the same lie.

That you haven't seen your dad for the last five years.

Goodness. I'm so sorry.

I was at the hospital...

with my dad on the 17th.

Which hospital?

It was a hospital for dementia patients.

You already knew he had dementia?

I stepped up because neither of you seemed to care.

I couldn't just leave him like that.

I wanted him to get treated.

It's not that.

Adult Guardian Application

You tried to buy a home by applying to become his guardian.

You had a meeting...

with a family-law attorney on that afternoon.

You wanted to take his home?

You're unbelievable.

Oh, the thing is...

Someone...

had to become his guardian anyway.

The home was about to be put up for an auction,

and I had no money on me.

I just wanted to make a living.

Day before Yeom Sang-goo's death, June 17, 9:25 a.m.

Dad, it's me. Dae-chul. Come with me.

I have no money. No money.

Okay. I understand.

Dad, isn't it frustrating to be stuck in here?

I'll let you go.

I really shouldn't have done it.

But all I did was take him to the hospital. That's the truth.

I was really dumbfounded when he went missing that day.

You weren't the only one...

who went to the hospital that day.

- What? - What?

You tried to change the beneficiary...

of Mr. Yeom's life insurance to you.

Application to Change the Beneficiary

Signed by Yeom Sang-goo

What's she talking about?

This thumbprint. Yeom Sang-goo didn't do it himself, did he?

What are you talking about?

You took him from the hospital and made him do it.

What? You abducted Dad?

You left him alone in the car.

I went inside for a while to register.

I took him for a while...

to get his thumbprint.

Then you left him at a patrol station?

Even if he had dementia,

was it easy to leave him alone like that?

He was your father.

I was afraid my brothers would find out.

I went to his place at first.

But...

Day before Yeom's death, June 17, 9:35 a.m.

Hang on.

What's he doing?

Dae-chul was taking him somewhere.

Something looked off.

Dad, it's me, Ji-sook.

Ji-sook, your favorite. Come along, Dad.

Come with me.

Get out.

You see, our dad...

loved me the most.

After our mom died,

I paid all the insurance premiums.

Isn't it just right that I get what I paid for?

Is that why you went on and on about the insurance?

At least I didn't try to take the only thing that belonged to Dad.

What? Are you done?

Will you stop it?

The thing is,

I couldn't change the beneficiary's name.

I don't know what all this fuss is about.

Ma'am, I wasn't able to set myself up as the legal guardian.

What did I do wrong?

Ji-sook.

You struggled with your dad, forcing him to make his fingerprint.

Here's the footage from the café's security camera,

and dashcam footage from a car outside the hospital.

I sent them to the NFS for analysis.

- Thanks. - Sure.

Here, have a look.

Dad, do you see these two marks here and here?

Put your thumbprints here.

No.

Dad. Will you help me out?

I'm hungry.

Will you just help me? I'm really struggling.

No.

Relax your arm.

I said no.

I'm really struggling.

Here, Dad.

Do you call that a physical struggle?

Dae-chul, have a look at this.

Dad. Dad? Get out.

No.

Come with me.

I don't want to go.

Dad.

I was just trying to take him to see a doctor.

His cause of death was myocardial infarction.

It can start with a small shock...

that results in death after a period of time.

The physical struggles with you were enough to cause his death.

- What? - What do you mean?

I'm saying that both of you...

are responsible for your father's death.

Gosh, not me.

You struggled with him to get his thumbprint.

What? You hit Dad first.

- You murderer. - What? How dare you?

Watch your language, or I'll just...!

- You brat. - Fine, hit me. Hit me.

- You killed Dad! - What are you doing?

What's wrong? You did it!

You're the one who took him!

No matches.

Dr. Baek.

Yeom Sang-goo's autopsy report. The director wants it now.

Tell him I got it.

The insurance company sent a letter.

- They want cause of death. - COD, myocardial infarction.

And type of death?

Do you want to do the autopsy and write the report?

You're ready to do that.

Yeom Sang-goo...

Did you analyze the camera footage we sent?

It's neither. Neither of them are involved in his death.

Neither of them?

He'd be bruised if there were any serious physical altercations.

That isn't enough to set off the heart.

The old man was tied to a door all day.

There were no outside causes that could've triggered anything.

If these aren't it, where could he have sustained such trauma?

I'm looking for that with pig skin.

Did he really say it's neither of them?

Then is it really over?

- Hello. - Hello, sir.

I just took out a life insurance policy.

- Pardon? - What?

I don't want my kids to fight and end up...

in prison when I die.

Prosecutor Eun.

- Guess what a natural death is. - Pardon?

Dying naturally of an illness within yourself,

and not an outside cause or trauma.

In Korea, about 300,000 people die each year.

Over 90% of them are natural deaths.

Most people grow old and die.

Did working with the NFS make you think every death is a conspiracy?

An old man died of a myocardial infarction.

What other reason is there to an old heart that stopped beating?

Who wants to find out?

Stop wasting time, and close the case.

Pork Skin Restaurant

Pork Skin Restaurant

Can I have some soju?

What is this?

I don't usually drink soju, but I crave some today.

Thank you.

Is this pork skin? I've never had it before.

What? You aren't going to eat it?

It's for testing.

Stay and have some. I put it on the grill.

- I have no time. - It's a waste.

You look hungry too.

Sit back down.

And old man died,

and we have no killer.

Every death has a cause. Don't write a novel.

I shouldn't.

But aren't you here because you don't have an answer?

You look troubled.

You say, "Don't write a novel," then give crucial information.

You have something, don't you?

Did you give me something to keep?

You hate unknowns more than anything.

Right knee, burn marks.

It might mean something.

- Take close photos. - Okay.

The burn marks from the autopsy.

Can we share information, please? Seriously.

Look, the meat is burning.

Hang on.

This is that.

I saw this before.

July 9, 2001

Gosh.

What is it? Are you sick? Or did you get hurt?

Yes, I fell.

Let me see.

How did this happen?

Cloudy, the temperature is 75° F, higher than yesterday.

I think I got it. I figured it out.

- Figured out what? - Hold on a second.

Yes, it's me.

Get me the surveillance footage from Yeom Sang-goo's area...

on the day of his death.

There was a sudden shower at 3 p.m. that day.

Yes, footage before and after 3 p.m.

What...?

What are you doing?

- Get out. - I need to focus.

How dare you come here?

Look who's talking.

You didn't do anything right either.

You're so shameless.

You don't feel an ounce of shame at all.

I came here to fulfill my duty.

Your duty? If you were sincere, how could you do such a thing?

You're no better than me. You got caught trying to keep...

all the insurance money to yourself.

Are you here to nitpick about that?

That's enough. It's Dad's funeral.

You've got to be kidding me. You don't get to say that either.

You secretly tried to sell off Dad's home, right?

Hey, if you took good care of Dad to begin with...

Then why didn't you take care of him yourself?

Everyone, stop it. It's all because of money.

I don't care about money anymore. This happened because of you all!

Darn it. I have nothing to do with Dad's death.

- Me neither. - It wasn't me either!

Hey, listen. Doesn't that mean none of us...

are responsible for his death?

So what?

- Dad's insurance money. - Yes.

Let's get the money.

Let's go.

I found it!

That's it.

I told the insurance company that the cause of death was heart attack.

Already?

Darn it.

- What are you doing? - I have to write up the report.

What if the family gets the insurance money and leave Korea?

I must hurry.

You once complained of giving the killer time to get away,

and performed an autopsy despite the possibility of getting MERS.

That's a separate matter.

I clearly helped you that time.

So you must go to them and tell them yourself. Okay?

- Get your stuff. Hurry. - Wait...

Goodness, we're wasting time here.

- This is crazy. - What?

Mr. Kang, please locate the deceased's family now.

If they're at the insurance company, please meet me there.

Yes, it's urgent.

Lieutenant Cha, can you look into someone right now?

Where are you going?

I'm going to take a taxi.

- Come on, we're in a hurry. Get in. - Then drive slowly.

Do you see this newly-acquired lifeline here?

I'm trying to see if I can follow on it.

Get in now. Hurry.

Goodness, you're always like that.

We received Yeom Sang-goo's autopsy report from the NFS.

It's heart attack, isn't it?

Yes, the cause of death was heart attack.

I need your signatures right here.

Hurry up.

Name: Yeom Dae-chul

Thank you.

Once we verify this, the money will be transferred to you.

Please wait here.

Put two hands on the wheel, and sit up straight.

And keep the dashboard clean too. That's a murder weapon in accidents.

Your shoes...

I see. You put them on.

Come on!

Have you gone mad?

Approved

She's here. Here she is.

Were you waiting for me?

Of course not.

- Prosecutor Eun. - Hello.

He's from the NFS.

- Wait. - Hello.

Excuse me. Prosecutor Eun.

- You're right on time. - Yes.

Here you go.

Here's a request to postpone the payment of the insurance money.

- What? - What are you talking about?

Postpone the payment?

We have the type of Yeom Sang-goo's death.

Would you like to watch it together?

Here's the afternoon's footage on the day of his death.

Dad.

During the autopsy,

we found injuries on the lower part of his body.

The injuries and the point of contact from the bicycle match.

Spoke-wheel injury.

The disc brake.

Formation of burn marks.

The tire skinned his calf. He got burned by the heated disc brake...

from going downhill.

Let me see.

- How did this happen? - I bumped into a bicycle.

Come on. You can't die just because you bumped into a bike.

Take a look.

The handle left trauma on his chest,

and that catalyzed the condition and caused the heart attack.

But... But he made it all the way home.

He was fine!

The shock wasn't big enough to cause him to die instantaneously.

He was fine until he came back home.

But his chest...

probably began to hurt more and more.

He barely made it home.

He couldn't even fold his umbrella.

Dropped significantly. Here are pictures of my rage at home.

Donate your money to this poor Bitcoin zombie.

Mr. Yeom Dae-sik.

You had no idea because you were busy checking your cryptocurrency.

Then he probably lay down...

and had a tough time breathing.

I remember tying him up that morning.

How did he untie that?

It's because of me.

Sangnim Patrol Division

I lost my dad at the hospital.

The day before his death, June 17, 2:22 p.m.

And I barely found him lying on the patrol division's sofa.

Then I brought him back home.

Be careful. Lie down.

I'll put the blanket on you.

Get some rest, Dad.

I just...

left him in his room,

and walked out.

That's why...

he was left untied.

June 17, 11:10 p.m.

When did he untie himself?

I tied him again.

I came out to get some water in the middle of the night.

I saw Dad's room was...

filled with urine.

I had no idea.

I just got frustrated.

When you die, all your muscles relax.

Your urethra and sphincter muscles relax too.

That's how urine comes out.

Cause of death. Acute myocardial infarction.

Type of death. External cause.

That's my opinion.

Mr. Yeom Sang-goo was enrolled into a life insurance...

by Ms. Choi Seon-rye 30 years ago.

Is the term due to an illness?

Yes, you're correct.

Once his death is concluded as death caused by external forces,

you won't receive the insurance benefit.

What?

No way.

Prosecutor Eun, I brought him.

Hey, it's you. You're the one who rode this bike.

- I'll kill you. - Calm down.

It's him. That's him.

How shameless of you? How can you hit him and run off?

He committed a hit-and-run. He's a murderer.

- You! - Calm down.

Okay. Calm down.

Prosecutor Eun.

Mr. Seo Jeong-yun...

always had a camera on when he went biking.

There's video of the accident.

Video

- Goodness. - Dad.

- Sir, are you all right? - Goodness.

What's going on? What was that?

Where are you headed? I'll take you to a doctor.

It's raining.

I have to get my kids.

You can't do that. You need to get to a hospital.

I need to be there before school is over.

I'm fine. Help me get back up.

- Sure. - Goodness.

- Get up. - My gosh.

I'm fine.

I need to get to their school.

What if you got hurt?

Goodness. I'm fine.

I don't need to go to a hospital.

I have to go to their school. You can go.

You said he always left...

when it rained.

He always goes missing.

He always leaves when it rains,

and gets into trouble.

This is the footage of...

Mr. Yeom's whereabouts after the bicycle accident.

Day before Yeom Sang-goo's death, June 17, 3:37 p.m.

Over here.

Dae-chul, Ji-sook!

- Dad! - Hey.

Hurry up and come. It's raining.

- Be careful. - You're getting wet!

My goodness, kids. Take this.

- Where have you been? - Let's go.

He went to pick up his kids...

with an umbrella,

so they wouldn't get wet.

That can't be right.

He had dementia.

No.

There's no way he heard what I said.

What do you mean?

What did you say to him?

It can't be.

Day before Yeom Sang-goo's death, June 17, 12:15 p.m.

Hey, Dad.

Dad.

Don't go walking around outside.

"Don't go walking around outside."

"You have to die of an illness..."

"for me to get..."

"the insurance money."

"Don't get hurt outside."

"And don't go to a hospital."

He heard...

what I said.

Adult Guardian Application

Mr. Yeom knew.

Adult Guardian Application

He knew he had dementia.

He didn't want to become a burden to his children,

so he applied for a guardian himself.

That he'll give over...

all his assets to his children.

But you're now deprived of that right.

You'll be disqualified as his inheritor...

if you get sentenced.

All three of you will be punished...

for injuring and abandoning your parent, abuse,

and for fabricating official documents.

Some call the moment when a demented patient...

regains their memory a miracle.

And some...

call that a curse.

And during each of...

those miraculous moments,

all he thought about was his children.

But what you all have done...

turned those moments into a curse.

Dad.

Dad...

Dad.

Dad.

Excuse me, Prosecutor Eun.

If they don't wish to settle the case with him,

he'll be taken in for negligence.

Excuse me. Do you want to settle the case with him?

CI Life Insurance

Bye.

Okay. Bye.

Everything is over.

Bye.

Goodbye.

I can't shoot well.

Look at the target, not your hand.

What?

Don't trust your hand. It shakes.

- The target's steady. Look at that. - Okay.

What would've happened...

if the family had just buried him without getting greedy...

for the insurance payout?

Then their dad's death would've gone unnoticed.

It's good that it didn't, right?

Illness, cardiopulmonary arrest.

There are so many nonsensical death certificates.

Don't you want to know the epilogue to this novel?

They settled with the biker without demanding a payment.

All they wanted was money, but I guess they changed.

Do you have any family members?

Baek Ho-chul's Clinic

Closed

Why is your clinic closed?

I came out for a stroll.

- What's the occasion? - It's nothing.

It's fine.

It's cooked well.

We bought over 40 portions of pig skin and got to eat none.

I was so disappointed.

May we have five more portions?

- More? - Okay.

Yummy. It's my first pig skin dish.

Me too. I didn't get to eat last time because of Dr. Baek.

Prosecutor Eun, doesn't he give you a hard time?

Let me play you something.

Listen carefully.

Thank you.

- Is this really his voice? - Yes.

Can you send me that?

I worked hard to get this rare item, but I'll gift it to you.

Thank you.

I'll listen to it whenever I'm down.

It's my ringtone.

Here you go.

Fantastic.

It's animal collagen, nice and chewy.

Stella, pretty-looking skin is better to eat.

A heart?

You shouldn't play with food.

- Stop it. - Why?

I'm paying.

Make what you want with what you ordered.

Don't play with food.

I'm not playing. Who calls this playing? Cut up some more.

Stop it. Don't do it or I'll cut it up.

Supermarket and Fishing Shop

My son's home.

I told you to close the shop.

Don't be silly.

Did you have dinner?

Eat up.

Here you go.

- Is it good? - Yes.

- Eat up. - It's good.

Did you go somewhere?

Hey.

No personal discussions, wasn't it?

You don't have to stop talking.

What? What is it?

You can't reach Kang Hyun?

Right. Not yet.

Why did you ask?

No personal discussions.

Seriously?

Adipocere: Body fat hydrolyzes in certain conditions

This is bad. We're late.

Sir, they don't take us seriously because we're from Busan.

I was the #1 drug buster five years in a row at Busan Central.

Shouldn't we go to the Special Branch?

Violent Crimes? At Seoul Eastern?

This is just crazy.

You think you're "all that," Mr. Yang.

Do you need medicine? Stop talking.

This is just wrong.

No backers doesn't mean we have no pride.

Okay, fine.

Is this it?

They take all the big cases and ditched us.

Quiet, quiet.

Hey, we have something great.

- Let's go. - What?

Where to?

Here. I doubt we'll be bored here.

Don't stare or you'll crash.

Let's go to Wuseong-dong.

Let's see.

Take him away. Who brought him here?

Look at the holes in the back.

How did you get up here in that?

I came over in a hurry.

Are you a new member of the forensics team?

You're wearing gloves, but they're clean.

You aren't police or Forensics. You're from the Eastern District.

Who are you?

It's my first day here, and I'm blessed with workload.

I bring violent cases wherever I go.

What?

Hello. You made it up here.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hi.

Are you the new deputy chief?

I'm Doh Ji-an. Don't bother.

- Are you Prosecutor Eun Sol? - Yes.

Aren't you too pretty for a prosecutor?

You're so funny.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Doh, do you remember how...

I arrested Jang Tae-joo for you?

I heard you shot an action film in the parking lot.

I owe you one.

Didn't you just do your duty as a police officer?

Hello. I'm Yang Soo-dong, Mr. Doh's investigator.

Hello.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Yang...

It sounds like the word for "chicken coop."

Sorry.

I'm deputy investigator Kang Dong-sik.

Mr. Yang.

Yes. It's Yang Soo-dong.

I work with Prosecutor Eun Sol.

Why did you come straight here?

Why didn't you go to the office first?

We can take care of everything here.

I know everyone there. I can visit them later.

- Let's look at the crime scene. - Okay.

Aren't you going to observe the body more?

The burial site is too clean. There are no bloodstains here.

You're right.

Seal her hands and feet,

- and transfer her to the NFS. - Yes, sir.

Wait, excuse me.

I don't think you should untie the knot carelessly.

- Sorry? - Who are you?

He's Prosecutor Doh Ji-an. He just transferred to the Eastern District.

Prosecutor Doh, I took the photos.

If we don't untie them, it's hard for us to transfer the body.

- Won't that destroy the evidence? - Then why don't you move the body?

Just as it is. All the way to the bottom of the mountain.

Something is off. Find me a body. It's urgent.

The scum who killed that woman has killed before.

The fingerprints from a case 30 years ago,

and the fingerprints from yesterday's case match?

- How is this possible? - The Wuseong Serial Murders Case.

The Prosecutor General wants the police and prosecution to work together.

- I'll make sure I catch him. - I can't say for sure.

If the killer insists on using a unique murder weapon,

that could be a clue.

That guy. He's something else. Seriously.

This is a historical moment.

The serial murder case's Pandora's box...

from 30 years ago has opened up now.
