Partners for Justice
Season 2

The characters, institutions, place names,
and incidents in this drama are all fictional.

"Doctor K."

That's what he goes by.

That jerk...!

Again...

This is the last time.

Try provoking me again.

If you do, I'll strike back.

Doctor. I'm having my
birthday party on Saturday.

Do you want to come?

My daughter...

I think she was kidnapped!

My gosh! Please come here quickly!

At a children's play center
in Wooil-dong Intersection,

a six-year-old has been kidnapped.

Please help me.

Where could she possibly be?

Is there anyone that could be
holding a grudge against you?

I'm so sorry.

Or is anything on your mind right now?

- Han Su-yeon?
- Who is this?

Get your money.

Make that $100,000 and in cash.

I want used $50 notes.

Bring the money to Onju
Pharmacy in Wooil-dong by 1:30.

No!

No!

Stop!

No!

We have no time.

Even in hibernation, the longest record,

below 50° F, is six and a half hours.

We have four and a half hours left.

Tell me where she is!

He's the one who kidnapped Seo-hyeon.

No one else knows where she is.

He has to live!

He kidnapped my kid.

And I'm praying he doesn't die.

Is this really happening?

How can this happen?

Gosh.

He's dead.

No. What about my Seo-hyeon?

This isn't over yet.

Where's the corpse?

It's at the hospital.

Bring it so I can do an autopsy.

I'm not done yet.

National Forensic Service

You came.

This is Doctor Jang Cheol from Hanju Hospital,

who performed surgery on the kidnapper.

Seo-hyeon's expected
survival time is decreasing,

so he came to tell you
directly about the surgery.

Hello.

Hang on.

Did you by any chance touch a corpse today?

Yes.

People always die...

at the hospital.

Thank you for doing the surgery.

You being here will be a big help.

- Hurry.
- Yes.

This way.

Including the air he breathed,
the soil he stepped on,

the food he had,

the meds he took, hair, stuff
under his fingernails and toenails,

stomach, large intestine, and urine,

we'll check everything
and recreate his entire day.

We need to find Seo-hyeon.

Current time, 14:45.

I'll start the autopsy.

9. Survival Function

Probability of survival
beyond any specified time

Han Seo-hyeon's expected survival time:
3 hours and 32 minutes

This is the first time I want to kill a corpse.

Nasal speculum.

Ruptured nasal septum.

Ruptured nasal septum.

Was he a cocaine addict?

That's possible.

- Emergency drug test.
- Okay.

Forceps.

Sally.

Occlusal tooth wear, presumably over 40.

Occlusal tooth wear, presumably over 40.

Heavy smoker. Smoked for over 15 years.

Heavy smoker. Smoked for over 15 years.

No BCG mark.

No BC... that means...

He's not Korean.

Pardon?

How can you tell just with a needle mark?

All Koreans over 40...

you've heard of a "fire needle," haven't you?

...should have that burn mark
of a BCG shot on their shoulder.

Right. That's why we couldn't
find his fingerprints in the AFIS.

It's possible he's Korean-Chinese.

- We'll expand the pool of suspects.
- Please do.

Muscular, low fat.

High body mass.

Presumably a manual worker.

Presumably a manual worker.

Callus on both palms.

Callus on both palms.

Multiple types of foreign
matter under his fingernails.

Multiple types of foreign
matter under his fingernails.

I see some powder.

- Scrape it and analyze it.
- Yes, sir.

A gunshot entry wound on the left thigh.

A gunshot entry wound on the left thigh.

No exit wound.

Where are his clothes?

Jeans are a generic brand.

The green hooded shirt is
a PB product of Haru Mart.

Both are cheap.

Scrape the dust from inside and analyze it.

- Yes, sir.
- Shoes?

Shoe size, 9.5.

Songhwa Brand, 2015 model. $23.75.

They're still on the market.

- Is the motorcycle in?
- Yes.

Compare the foreign matter from the
tires and with the samples from his shoes.

- Hurry!
- Yes, sir.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Su-yeon.

Ms. Han.

Dr. Baek.

Please let me help in any way I can.

I need to do this.

I...

I need to do this autopsy.

- No! Get out!
- I want to help.

I'm Seo-hyeon's mom.

As her mom,

- I need to...
- If you're here,

we can't focus.

Get out.

Please...

save my daughter.

I'm begging you.

Please.

All right, so get out.

Scalpel.

Han Seo-hyeon's expected survival time:
3 hours and 27 minutes

Han Seo-hyeon's expected survival time:

Han Seo-hyeon's expected survival time:
3 hours and 26 minutes

What's this?

Pericardial hemorrhage.

Pericardial hemorrhage.

What the heck?

The hole is huge.

You completely destroyed his heart.

Pericardial hemorrhage
presumably made by a needle mark.

Did you inject epinephrine
directly into his heart?

Kidnapper Autopsy Profile

Yes.

I directly injected 300 milliliters
into his heart with a ten gauge needle.

What? 300 milliliters?

That's more than a lethal dose. Were you insane?

That was my last attempt to
help him regain consciousness.

So did he regain consciousness?

Dr. Jang! No!

Dr. Jang!

No.

Run a toxicology screen on the peripheral blood.

- Check if he took any prescription meds.
- Yes, sir.

If he took even one prescription pill,

we can determine his ID using the prescription.

Excuse me. That won't work.

His condition was critical,

so I gave him the maximum amount
of blood with the risk of hyperthermia.

I gave him a total of 7800cc of blood,

so 80% of the blood in his system isn't his.

Running a toxicology screen
on his peripheral blood is no use.

What about the blood on the motorcycle?

Did you swab it?

There's not enough. Not
enough to run a proper test.

What about the blood he lost at the hospital?

Right.

The gurney. He was bleeding a lot on the gurney.

No.

They sterilized the floor of the trauma room...

as soon as the gurney was taken out.

It probably got mixed in with
other medical waste from the ED.

Darn it!

What about the blood from the OR?

The gauze.

There are so many boxes.

Ms. Eun, we just arrived.

What are we looking for here?

Dr. Jang, they've arrived
at the medical-waste storage.

Find the box with the serial #A-135 on the side.

That was the OR I operated on him in.

- Don't open it. Bring it here as it is.
- Yes, sir.

- Find A-135
- A-135.

A-135.

Medical Waste

I'm glad we found it.

May we ask you how your hospital...

disposes of its medical waste?

Since it's sealed, you can't open it.

Then how did the thief know...

that a foot was inside the bag?

What?

You can analyze that blood.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Eun Sol

Sol, how are things over there?

The autopsy is in progress.
Have you arrested Oh Man-sang?

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

Things must be crazy over there too.

Sol, I know this is a stressful situation,

but I want you to stay
focused on the investigation,

- and try to be calm, okay?
- Yes, sir.

But I need to check the motive and
determine if there's an accomplice.

I feel a little anxious right now.

I hope Seo-hyeon can hang on.

Ms. Eun, the initial investigation
is very important with a kidnapping.

If there's an accomplice,

he might've gone into
hiding after his friend died.

It's hard to find him when they
disappear, just like Oh Man-sang.

We should be there to help.

By the way, can Dong-sik handle it by himself?

Sol, a kidnapping is a race against the clock.

- Stay focused.
- Okay.

I'll try to focus on the case.

We just got a tip, so we're on our way to Seoul.

We'll drop by, if possible.

Do you have any idea what the motive is?

They asked for cash right away,

planned both the meeting place
and escape plan meticulously.

They planned a perfect crime.

- They were after money.
- But something's not right.

They must've chosen their victim carefully.

If money was their only purpose,

why would they choose the daughter
of a single mom who's a civil servant?

They could've chosen someone they
could've demanded more money for.

Something doesn't add up.

You're right.

You heard the perp's voice, right?

His way of speaking, habits,

and even his motive are in his voice.

Why don't you chew it over? Trust your gut.

Yes, sir.

Now you're deliberately excluding me?

Mr. Gal. That's not true.

I'm the head prosecutor of
Criminal Department Eight,

and I found out about this
through breaking news?

I'm sorry.

If you're going to do this
alone, you shouldn't mess up.

I heard the kidnapper died.

Yes. He's under autopsy.

Forget about the dead guy.

You don't even know if he had an accomplice,

and you're wasting time
while observing the autopsy?

I'm investigating the case too.

Let the NFS take care of the autopsy.

Summon everyone from the Eastern
DPO and Gangdong Police Station.

Right now!

His last meal was about four hours before death.

He had his last meal four
hours before his death.

Undigested grains of rice, kimchi, and danmuji.

Undigested grains rice, kimchi, and danmuji.

Aspergillus niger was all
over the perp's hooded shirt.

Fungus that grows on moldy walls

He was in a damp room.

There was condensation on the wall
and fungi around the condensation.

- Write it down.
- Yes, sir.

Condensation on the wall and
fungi around the condensation.

Fungi around the condensation

Here it is. The blood.

- Squeeze it. Now!
- Pardon?

It's urgent.

- Hey! Let's do it.
- But Dae-guk,

Mr. Gal has summoned us all.

This is more urgent. Put them on!

Here it comes.

More.

A little more.

Think of it as your own. Don't waste a drop.

Get it all out.

Ham Ho-cheol, a shuttle bus driver.

After Seo-hyeon's accident, it
was revealed that he was unlicensed,

and had an accident while driving drunk.

But he's in custody as we speak.

He couldn't have done it himself.

But we can check his visitors
or phone records to see...

Why investigate someone who's in custody?

- He could've worked with an accomplice.
- Point taken.

What about Ahn Mi-ok, the kindergarten teacher?

Do we know what she did after the breakup?

- We're sorry for being late.
- Have a seat.

We're checking Ms. Ahn Mi-ok's whereabouts,

but her phone's been turned off for two days,

and she's nowhere to be found.

The other thing is,

she withdrew all $30,000
from her bank account...

three days ago, all in cash.

- All of it?
- Yes.

She's the one. Can't you see?

But Mr. Gal.

The perp stole a bike,

fooled investigators with mobile towers,

and avoided surveillance cameras.

This isn't something that a
kindergarten teacher could pull off.

That's why she needed $30,000.

She hired pros.

She has a motive, made
suspicious bank transactions,

and is on the run. She checks all the boxes.

For now, Ms. Ahn Mi-ok is our prime suspect.

Search her home, check her accounts,
and question her family and friends.

Gather everything related to her.

Ms. Han Su-yeon?

Wow, there are lots of cops.

Don't be so cocky, simply
because you know lots of cops.

Let's go to Ms. Ahn Mi-ok's place.

- And mobilize...
- Ms. Gal, hang on.

Judging from the perp's phone call,

he already knew Ms. Han was working at the NFS.

Besides, if he was really going for the money,

- $100,000 isn't a lot.
- So?

We need to see if the perp
has anything against the NFS.

Okay.

A little girl's life is on the
line. We can't let anything slide.

Check if anyone has a grudge against Ms. Han.

And the autopsy report
indicates that the perp...

- is Korean-Chinese.
- Autopsy report?

Yes, sir.

Eun Sol.

Do you think you can find
the girl with an autopsy?

If we catch the kidnapper,
we'll find out where she is.

Wouldn't it be faster than probing a corpse?

Right.

We're running out of time.

If we don't close in on this
kidnapper from all directions,

we'll waste our time and
end up losing our chance.

Let's move.

He told us not to let anything slide,

but he's only chasing the big one.

Let me make a phone call.

This is Dong-sik.

He planted a rerouting
VPN into a forgery program.

He's a real pro.

Isn't this a method that Korean-
Chinese use to deceive the police...

when they commit voice phishing?

The Bongchu Police Station has
dealt with lots of cases like this.

Actually, we're pursuing a Korean-
Chinese voice-phishing organization,

and they use an internet phone that
gets routed through three countries.

But they're pretty thorough.

They constantly change their phone numbers,

and cancel the bank account
right after withdrawing money.

It's safe to say they've already
cut the tail and disappeared.

They can't just disappear.

A little girl's life is on the line.
She has less than three hours.

Who provided the forgery program?

Did they outsource a hacker?

Hackers rarely leave a trace.

To avoid their bank account from being tracked,

they take their commission in Bitcoin.

- What? Bitcoin?
- Yes.

We can't trace them from that point on.

Okay.

I think there might be a way.

Dr. Baek, we finished
examining the bike and shoes.

Okay.

Hi, Ms. Eun.

By the way, what is this?

We found some special paint component
from the dirt in the bike tire,

so we asked for special analysis.

It was some paint that contains
high luminance glass beads.

Paint with glass beads?

Yes, it's a paint they
use to paint traffic lines.

In case of night or bad weather,
it reflects in headlights,

and helps the driver see better.

After an in-depth analysis,
we found out those glass beads...

were used for KSM 6080 and KSL 2521.

The color is yellow,
and is used for center lines.

- Hardening?
- It wasn't fully hardened.

They use a thermal bonding method.

Did you find the same thing in his shoes?

Yes. They're the same.

I get it. He stepped on a
newly-painted centerline.

Check if they repainted the
traffic lines near Wooil Station...

between yesterday morning and this morning.

- Yes, ma'am.
- We're on it.

We're in a hurry. Come quickly.

I'm coming.

Han Seo-hyeon's expected survival time:
2 hours and 47 minutes

Ms. Ahn Mi-ok.

Look at this.

I think she left in a hurry.

Search the room and see if
there's a clue to her whereabouts.

- Yes, sir.
- On it.

Hello.

Open that closet.

- I don't think she's coming back.
- Okay.

Mr. Gal, we know where Ahn Mi-ok is.

She used this couples' app with her fiancée,

- and an auto check-in has just been detected.
- Auto check-in?

The app has a function that
sends the partner's location.

- Where is she?
- Bongchu-dong.

It's an enhanced security area,

and a lot of foreigners,
including Korean-Chinese...

Hang on. Korean-Chinese?

Let's go.

- Let's go, guys!
- Yes, sir.

Guys! I did it!

- I hit the jackpot!
- #7, congratulations!

Samba, samba, samba, samba.

This gentleman here hit samba.

Your hard work has paid off.

Darn it.

Let me have this one. Come on!

There are other people here. Stop shouting!

My gosh! My money!

Do you have some cash?

I can't lose this machine.

Hang on. I need to concentrate.

Darn it. I'm so close to hitting the jackpot.

This stinks!

We found the road where
they repainted the centerline.

- Excuse me.
- Here.

- Here.
- Take a look.

They redid the centerline
of Bongchudaero 16-gil...

at 6 this morning.

What's the route from there to
the intersection at Wooil Station?

The kidnapper made that call at 12:40,

and arrived at the intersection
at Wooil Station at 1:20.

To get here within 40 minutes,

the kidnapper must've
started within this perimeter.

That's about the same size as Yeouido.

We've narrowed it down
from all of Seoul to Yeouido.

Are there any distinctive features of the area?

Yes, the entire area from Bongchu-dong
to Munju-dong is an industrial area.

Small factories and
dormitories are cramped in there,

and it's like a maze.

If we have to go door to door,
even 24 hours wouldn't be enough.

Tell me what you have.

We found a place where
the electricity bill is high...

because it's used as a Bitcoin mine.

Where is it?

Near the international
phone room at Bongchu-dong.

Bongchu-dong?

The Korean-Chinese Quarter?

As you know, it's a very dangerous area.

Send me the address ASAP. Okay.

Ms. Eun, let's go.

We have to go.

Mr. Two Swords is really angry.

What do we have here?

Ahn Mi-ok was here two hours ago.

- Really?
- She ate ramyun and left her cell phone.

The clerk here turned it on to find the owner.

Check all the pictures and texts.

Yes, sir.

This is the last picture.

- Does it have GPS information?
- Let me check.

Here it is.

Hang on.

It's near here.

Set up an arrest team using manpower
from the Gangdong Police Station.

- Let's go.
- Yes, sir.

- Clean up.
- Yes, sir.

Let's go!

Did you get anything from the
toxicology test and drug test?

He's clean.

He didn't even take cold
medicine or indigestion pills,

let alone prescription meds.

There aren't any prescription meds?

Right. No cocaine either.

All the narcotic drug tests came back negative.

If he'd been a junkie, we could've
traced him back to his supplier.

This stinks.

It's a dead end regarding narcotics and meds.

How did he get a ruptured nasal septum, then?

Add it to the profile.

What? There's nothing.

- Write down, "He was healthy."
- Okay.

Tracing his whereabouts using this autopsy...

isn't an easy task in the first place.

We found nothing in the end.

Kidnapper's Autopsy Profile

Well, investigators are also working on it.

They'll find something.

He got up, ate rice, kimchi, and danmuji.

The place where he was at
was moldy and had condensation.

He smoked every day for over 15 years.

A manual worker who had
calluses due to repetitive labor.

He's healthy other than
the ruptured nasal septum.

Stop babbling random nonsense.
You're making me sick.

The autopsy results are a dead end.

Get out if you're going to be so negative.

- Get out!
- Guys! Please stop.

Presumably a manual worker

Manual worker.

Manual worker.

- Let me see the picture of his fingertips.
- Okay.

Enhance it.

Contact dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis.

Did you analyze the stuff under his nails?

Yes. There was lots of talcum powder.

- Talcum powder?
- What about it?

Ruptured Nasal Septum
Teeth: Over age 40

Ruptured nasal septum.

Contact dermatitis.

Talcum powder under his nails.

Dr. Baek, why do you keep saying...

ruptured nasal septum, contact
dermatitis, and talcum powder?

I'm thinking.

I know you won't say anything
unless you're 100% sure,

but make an exception this time.

There's something, isn't there?

Right?

Dr. Baek, we have less than two hours.

Dr. Baek, can we all put our heads together?

He's right. Write fiction if you must.
