Episode 6

What about you?

Are you telling me you can, but I can't?

How many open verdicts did you record last year?

Verdict without opinion or unexplained death

Oh, my.

Open verdicts?

Glad you brought it up.

Don't you have any unsolved case?

What about Oh Man-sang's case?

The whole country is laughing at the case.

People say the NFS and the prosecution are colluding,

and don't believe Oh Man-sang is dead.

That's enough.

Dr. Baek.

We've already designated the cases.

- Did you scan all the CT? - Yes.

Prepare bone 3D reconstruction.

Okay, let's get to work.

Jang Ho-gu, age 41.

- The number is 791107, right? - Yes.

I'll fetch Dr. Baek.

Dr. Baek, we're ready...

Where did he go?

You should be in the other room, Dr. Baek.

- It's Room #1. - I know.

Dr. Baek, we're ready. Let's go.

I know. I just want to look around.

People are waiting.

- Show me the bone 3D reconstruction. - Please.

Let me just take a look at it.

We'll try our best with heavy hearts when conducting the autopsy.

With my title as the department chief and the pride of the NFS,

I'll conduct it myself.

Don't worry.

Okay, I trust you.

This is important for not only the deceased,

but for those who are still alive here.

Of course.

Autopsy is...

for those remaining families too.

I'll head out, then.

Dr. Ma.

Sally, what's going on?

It's about the drug case you ordered an analysis the other day.

I got TG.

Tears of God.

You got Tears of God?

We only had a few cases in Korea.

TG has particular pathological symptoms,

but I'm not sure about that.

Can you help me with reading slides? It won't take long.

- My goodness. - You know when you see it. Let's go.

Zoom in.

Not there, the vertebrae. Zoom in between T3 and T4.

Yes, there.

It's a fracture.

Something's wrong.

You've seen so many of these from car accidents.

She would've hit the neck support.

Don't write any fiction. There's more than just fractures.

- Isn't Cha Ju-hui's autopsy Dr. Ma's case? - Totally.

Lock the door and step aside.

- Excuse me? - Please.

Lock the door so I can conduct the autopsy.

Dr. Baek.

Mr. Ma would freak out when he finds out!

What's going on?

Something seems to have attracted him.

He even hid a corpse in the past.

Gosh.

Oh, my.

Why isn't the door working?

Why did you lock the door?

Open the door, Seong-joo.

Stop messing around and open the door.

I'm sorry.

Where are you going?

We'll get in huge trouble, Dr. Baek!

Open the door, you punk!

Hey, what...?

Let's start the autopsy.

Dr. Baek, what do you think you're doing?

It's 9:18 a.m.

The autopsy begins now.

Dr. Baek.

Don't forget we're public servants.

- There's the order of rank here. - Turn off the mic.

Don't you care anything about the team?

You can't just barge in without...

You'll be held accountable for this.

May 17, 9:18 a.m. Cha Ju-hui's autopsy initiated

May 17 9:35 a.m. Jang Ho-gu's autopsy initiated

- Did you run the CT scans? - Yes.

- Show me the scan of the whole body. - Yes, sir.

It's ready on the screen.

So many fractures.

Multiple fractures on the chest.

Ribs...

The third, fifth and eighth are broken.

The right femur fracture.

He seemed to step on the brake hard.

Her front teeth are broken.

Broken front teeth.

Teeth are broken?

Did she have any fights before the accident, by any chance?

Stop writing fiction.

Was she intubated?

Yes, in the ED.

Scalpel.

Scissors.

There are remains from vomiting in the esophagus.

Remains from vomiting in the esophagus.

This broken tooth...

is from the intubation.

How do you know that?

If it was from a fight,

then the piece would be in her stomach.

We often see a broken tooth in esophagus from the intubation.

Doctors weren't careful at all with the teeth.

What kind of doctors would be when saving lives?

I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight.

How come he's always that angry?

What a pool of blood.

I see rupture on the left ventricle,

and another rupture on the ascending aorta.

Rupture found in the left ventricle and the ascending aorta.

Did the heart get ruptured?

The driver's seat took the shock,

which in turn caused chest damage by the handle.

Weigh the blood.

Yes, sir.

The blood filled inside the chest...

weighs about 3700 milliliters.

Tell me the exact figure!

I'm sorry.

It's 3570 milliliters.

It's 3570 milliliters.

A laceration and a compound fracture on the temporal region.

A laceration and a compound fracture on the temporal region.

Subdural hemorrhage.

Subdural hemorrhage.

A hematoma between skull and brain due to phleborrhexis

Long forceps.

Whiplash Injury.

Whiplash Injury.

T3 fracture.

T3 fracture.

The shock must've been huge.

Do you want to look into organs if you're done with the outside?

Dr. Baek, what's going on?

Let's remove the eyes.

For what?

It has nothing to do with the time of death.

Are you the examiner here?

Give me that hammer.

Retinal detachment.

Something's wrong.

Does retina have anything to do with the car accident?

You're supposed to write down what I said.

If not, why are you here?

Retinal detachment.

Come to my office after the briefing.

You'd better prepare yourself to write an official apology.

Are you two up against again?

The families are waiting so let's begin quickly.

Let me first tell you my conclusion...

on the husband, Jang Ho-gu.

The most critical cause of death is...

The heart rupture by blunt force,

and hemorrhagic shock from the ascending aorta rupture.

Do you have the exact time of death?

His chest was filled with 3570 milliliters of blood from a cardiac arrest.

On average, an adult pumps out 80 milliliters per heartbeat.

Which means that 3570 milliliters needs at least 44 heartbeats.

However, the dead was heavily traumatized,

and according to the first responder...

His pulse wasn't detectable,

and the heart rate was only 30.

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

to have 3570 milliliters of blood filled up the chest...

requires at least seven minutes.

In other words, the time of death for Jang Ho-gu is...

seven minutes after the accident.

It's 7:37 a.m.

What about Cha Ju-hui's case?

She had extensive fractures and organ damage.

The most critical damage was...

subdural hemorrhage, since it's brain damage.

So what time did she die, exactly?

I don't know yet.

Hey.

You made such a big scene this morning, and all you can say is...

- "I don't know yet"? - Cut it out.

When can I get the tox report?

We're running the test but it'll take some time.

We need to rule out drugs for emergency treatment.

Dr. Baek, the families are waiting...

Didn't you hear what I just said?

Dr. Baek.

We need to set a path,

so the families can decide what to do.

- Let's go. - To where?

- To the scene. - For what?

Why do you go there to determine the time of death?

Because I need to check something.

Ms. Eun, what should we do now?

They have to wait.

It's not uncommon to see an angry family.

But it's the case worth $10 million.

Everyone was on fire and eager to find out.

Can you come out for a moment?

Me?

What's this about?

You aren't interested in Dr. Baek, right?

Here you go, again.

No, I'm not.

I like Dr. Baek.

Well, I assumed you would...

But isn't he more than 20 years older than you?

Mick Jagger's girlfriend is 44 years younger.

- You're going to help me, right? - Sorry?

Yes.

I'll do that.

I asked around,

and heard there's no vacancy in the building where he lives.

So...

What do you think about this place?

The night view is amazing.

Wait.

Is this a show home?

That's my place.

Would you swap your place with mine?

Excuse me?

Swapping places?

- I want to live next door to Dr. Baek. - I see.

But...

This is so sudden.

You said you'll help me.

That's right, but...

There's nothing you'd miss out here.

My place is close to your office.

I have to sleep on it first.

I'll look forward to hearing from you.

I'm here!

- I'm back. - Thank you for your hard work.

Mi-ho, don't you just love to work outside?

It's also very tiring.

Did it go well?

Cha Ju-hui's family is totally messed up.

- Don't even get me started. - Oh, my.

- Let's hit the road, then. - Okay.

Ms. Eun might have another housewarming party.

What does that mean?

Ms. Eun, show her the picture.

The photo of Dr. Sally's house.

- Take a look. - Here.

What a nice place.

Is Dr. Sally from a rich family?

This would cost a couple hundred thousand dollars for Jeonse.

She suggested swapping her place with Ms. Eun's.

Why?

Dr. Sally said she likes Dr. Baek.

What?

No, this is a joke.

Isn't he old enough to her dad?

No way.

That's ridiculous.

By the way, the place is stunning.

I'd love to live somewhere like this.

Why are you hesitating, anyway?

This place is way better than Grumpy Beom's next door.

Do you...

- like Grumpy Beom, by any chance? - What?

Hey!

What are you talking about?

Of course you don't.

Then before Dr. Sally changes her mind,

swap places.

When will you give me the answer?

I can't wait that long.

Okay, deal.

Let's swap the places.

I'm against that couple.

I can't get the picture of seaweed fulvescens out of my head.

Well, they look great together.

Like father and daughter.

Just as I expected.

What did you expect?

No skid marks.

- What does that mean? - Then it's...

What does that mean?

Are you asking this to write fiction again?

You always conclude right after conducting an autopsy.

You know who died first, right?

- Wrong question. - Sorry?

We can only know the time of death when we know how the person died.

Were you looking for me?

Why didn't you report to me?

I heard there was a case related to Chairman Oh.

It's a trivial one and it's being handled well.

Gal Dae-cheol.

When did you start to get in touch with people without telling me?

Are you trying to mess me up?

Of course not. It was my bad.

I was the one who backed a hillbilly like you.

It wasn't Chairman Oh.

Don't mess with me.

All right. I get the point.

Gal Dae-cheol.

You're way more naïve than I thought.

Why did you fall for such a trap?

It'd cost you the whole career if things go wrong.

Are you that confident about this case?

No worries.

I've come this far so I won't let anything topple me.

- 13... - Hello.

- You're here. - Hello.

No, have a seat.

No need.

Your efforts come to nothing, I guess.

I told you the NFS can't conclude it.

The time of death?

They can't determine it before the dead answers.

It's next to impossible with only a few minutes difference.

- Now what's your strategy? - Well...

I got suspicious about Cha's family,

so I was running a background check on them.

About that,

Cha's mom had a building but it was auctioned off three years ago.

They live in a monthly rented place now, but the rent is overdue,

so the rent's been deducted from the deposit.

The owner has filed an eviction suit,

so the family is about to be kicked out.

And about the sister,

her judicial scrivener boyfriend...

turned out to be a short-term intern who's already been laid off.

The sister is a dental hygienist,

and her monthly salary is $1400.

She can't even afford a ring let alone Tahitian pearls.

No wonder they coveted the inheritance.

But we also found something very suspicious...

from a poor family like them.

Cha Do-hui got a cash advance up until the limit...

of $5000.

It means she needed money urgently.

I'll track the record of it.

You sound really competent.

Mr. Doh.

Will you let the first grader get ahead of you?

Are you looking down on the Criminal Department?

Where are all the talent you've gained from working...

at the Special Department and Narcotics Division?

Ms. Eun.

Proceed and sort it out, okay?

See? You need to go out and move.

Not like...

someone who's sitting indoors all day.

It was really hard for me to investigate this one.

I almost had hemorrhoids again.

- It was... - Mr. Doh, we'll head out to investigate.

- I was running around... - Yes, right.

- I really worked hard. - Bye.

She didn't step on the brake.

Whiplash Injury.

A huge shock.

Vomiting.

Retinal detachment.

Autopsy Report

What do you have for the blood test?

Did you only run the microwave?

Not the lab?

You said it's urgent. I even skipped a meal to run it.

So what did you get?

They're all drugs for emergency treatment.

- Nothing weird about it. - Are they?

Toxicology Report

Run another target test.

I ran all the blood to get that report.

Don't you trust me?

I do. That's why I'm asking another one.

- Is this urgent too? - Yes.

It is.

Here.

I have to stay up all night for this.

I'll wait for you.

Where are you going?

To get blood samples.

I'll be here all night so wait for me, okay?

It has nothing to do with me if the family withdrew their money here.

This is the ED and I'm busy!

- Hold on a second. - What's the occasion?

I'm Prosecutor Eun Sol from Seoul Eastern DPO.

I have some questions about Cha Ju-hui who died here.

Doctor Jang.

You're new here,

- so I'll take care of... - There's no need.

I'm the head here, so talk to me.

At eight in the evening of the day that Cha Ju-hui died,

Cha Do-hui withdrew $5000 here.

After watching surveillance-camera footage,

I discovered Dr. Han Ji-hoon, who was in charge of Cha Ju-hui,

went out for an hour at the same time.

Where were you, Dr. Han?

I was sleeping in the on-call room.

Unfortunately, we don't have any surveillance cameras in on-call rooms.

Did you really?

Okay, then...

Who is this person?

I guess you didn't know that ATMs have surveillance cameras.

Dr. Han.

Did you pay your settlement money with that?

I'm sorry.

Doctor, fill us in.

A permanent tooth from an eight-year-old boy...

was discarded as medical waste by Dr. Han's mistake.

So the patient ended up losing a tooth.

The patient's parents...

requested $5000 for settlement money.

I'm really sorry.

Hello, this is Baek Beom.

Dr. Baek, the couple's car accident case is solved.

I've confirmed that Cha's family asked for excessive treatment,

to delay the time of death.

And her doctor admitted he was bribed to do that.

I'm calling you to say...

that you don't need to rush to conclude the time of death.

Okay, I got it.

It was Ms. Eun, right? What did she say?

Nothing. Take your time and eat this.

Let's eat first.

Mr. Gal...

His target of bullying is now our team.

- You're here. - It's...

Yang.

Do you still put an egg in mixed liquor?

No, I don't.

My liver can't take it anymore.

Really?

But you haven't changed a bit.

I need to talk to Doh.

- I'll head out then. - Okay.

Get home safely.

I'm sorry about the nitpicking.

It's okay. Prosecutor Eun is very instinctive.

That first-grader is extraordinary.

You have a great teamwork at Seoul Eastern DPO.

Back me up since I'm on the same boat.

- How's work? - I can't say it's flawless.

You know better than me. I can't beat Dobermann the Crazy Dog.

Not all prosecutors are the same.

You were on the fast track,

like the Special Department and Narcotics Division.

But I was stuck at a small district office...

I think I lost my instinct.

How do you know Deputy Noh?

You don't have any ties in school or town.

Why do you ask?

You know that there's a controversy over your promotion, right?

I guess people got annoyed...

by the promotion of a hillbilly?

By the way...

When did you start to dig up your superior?

This is a surprise.

Did I offend you?

My bad.

I've heard some rumors...

I'm saying we should stay low key.

Okay.

Staying low key.

We both need to.

Dr. Baek.

The result came out.

Did it?

This will turn everything upside down.

- Did you stay up all night? - Let's go.

- What? - Let's go.

- To where? - To Seoul Eastern DPO.

Today's breakfast is stir-fried pork!

I'll explain on the way. Just go!

I haven't had breakfast, though.

How come she's so fast?

- Suspects are scary. - Here.

Ms. Eun.

Great job.

Today's young prosecutors are competent.

Good work, everyone.

Yes.

Now I think better of your team.

We just did what we had to do.

Yes, we weren't...

It's all Ms. Eun's credit.

Ms. Eun.

- Wrap things up, then. - Yes, sir.

We're so sorry, Ms. Eun.

We were too ignorant.

- Say an apology. - We're really sorry.

- We're deeply sorry about this. - Have a seat.

Please sit down.

When I heard the news of my brother-in-law...

I instinctively responded that way.

I went to the doctor...

I said, "I can't let go of my sister."

"Please try harder. My mom is watching right now."

No, your daughter is still here.

My goodness.

I said, "I'll compensate for it."

And I bribed the doctor.

- Charge to 200 joules. - Excuse me?

Let's try one more time.

Let's do CPR.

Got it.

It's charged.

My bad, I'm sorry.

We're very sorry.

We apologize.

Those cons.

They should be put in prison to realize what they've done.

Truth always wins out.

It's all thanks to you.

You three doctored the death certificate,

which constitutes the charges against Criminal Act Article 233,

preparation of a medical certificate,

and trespassing in Jang Ho-gu's home...

What's this?

- Hey. - Doctor.

This is the autopsy report of Cha Ju-hui.

We don't need to know the time of death,

since they all confessed to the forgery.

- Who says so? - Sorry?

What's she talking about?

Cha Ju-hui's death...

was possibly a murder.

Excuse me?

It was a homicide.

The first suspect is Cha Do-hui.

She's cunningly clever,

since she forged the time of her sister's death,

coveting the inheritance.

Are you suspecting me, her own sister?

You should be questioning the in-laws, not her sister.

But this is clearly money matters.

Let's look at the second suspect.

Jang Ho-cheol, victim's brother-in-law.

Goodness, it's all ruined. I'm sorry.

We have a third suspect.

It's the mother-in-law, Cheon Chun-ja.

It seemed Ms. Cheon was reluctant even talking to Ju-hui's family.

Do you have any evidence I killed her?

First it was a murder case, then an accidental death, and murder again?

It's accidental death.

Therefore, I retract...

Dr. Baek's conclusion.
