Partners for Justice Season 2

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

This guy, Park Yeong-su, in the NTS...

is beyond tenacious.

He's been Doh Ji-han's informant all along.

Get rid of him.

That jerk Baek Beom has revealed everything.

Angiokeratoma?

What do you know about angiokeratoma?

Can angiokeratoma disappear and appear...

under different circumstances?

You're writing fiction.

Why don't you prove that theory yourself?

If you can.

I miss the old days at the Special Department.

Three of us had good times then.

If it weren't for the Kangho case,

you wouldn't be transferred to the Seoul Eastern DPO.

Forget about the past.

You should focus on the Sungjin Group case.

- You must be careful. - I'm here...

to tell you that you should be careful.

Me?

I think Sungjin Group and Mr. Noh...

have a long history of their relationship.

Mr. Noh could've hidden things since he's really sneaky,

but Oh Man-sang became the headache.

Mr. Noh took the risk because of him,

and got caught after all.

Plus, Mr. Gal who was suddenly promoted from a district office.

When this case is all revealed,

The whole Prosecutor's Office will be thrown into turmoil.

Yeong-su, Sungjin Group...

is still going strong and powerful. It's not easy...

I get it.

I won't be defeated this time. We're well prepared.

All right, I believe in you.

Take care.

Okay, you too take care.

I'm heading home now.

I just got a call from your uncle.

What's the occasion?

Your father's grave is all dug up.

What? Father's grave is dug up?

Okay.

I'll visit early tomorrow.

Supermarket

Yes, Uncle.

Right.

- Of course I need to visit. - I'm sorry for not coming with you.

I'm fine. I can fix it by myself.

Uncle, is this...?

Did a boar do this to the grave?

I've never seen anything like that.

I think...

that it wasn't a wild animal's job.

No way that a person has done that.

I'll fill it up temporarily and come back to fix it later.

I'm sorry to have called you. I know you're busy.

No, I'm fine. I'll hang up, then.

I'll visit you with my son on this Chuseok.

Yes, this is Doh Ji-han.

Prosecutor Doh, this is Eun-yeong.

Right, Eun-yeong.

I heard your due date is soon.

How have you been?

I'm sorry to bother you like this.

Yeong-su...

went out early to visit his father's grave before going to work,

but I can't get in touch with him.

I've been told that he's not in the office yet.

He's not in his office yet?

Did he go alone?

You should focus on the Sungjin Group case.

You must be careful.

When this case is all revealed,

The whole Prosecutor's Office will be thrown into turmoil.

Where's the grave?

Wait.

May I help you?

I'm a prosecutor from the Seoul Eastern DPO.

May I check the body?

Oh, no.

What on earth happened?

My gosh.

Mr. Doh, what's this all about?

What happened to Mr. Park?

He's under examination now.

His right ankle is swollen up,

and poisonous fang marks were found.

- I think he was bitten by a snake. - A snake?

Snakes are all the rage on the mountain during the summertime.

He could've survived if he was found earlier.

Do people still die from snake bites these days?

His body is just fine without any wounds,

except for the snake bite.

It's such a tragedy,

but there's nothing else I can tell you at the moment.

We found his belongings and cell phone...

with him at the scene.

His cash and credit cards were all in his wallet.

Why don't you report this as an accidental death...?

His body...

- will be transferred right away to the NFS. - Excuse me?

To the NFS?

We'll conduct an autopsy there.

Mr. Doh.

Mr. Yang.

He's not my husband, right?

Is he?

Where is Yeong-su?

Where is he?

It's not true, right?

Please tell me it's not true.

Mr. Yang, it's not, right?

Please tell me that it's not true!

I'm sorry, but it's true.

No!

No, this can't be happening!

No, Yeong-su!

No, he's not dead.

No way!

Tell me he's not dead!

Poisonous substances from a snake or alike

National Forensic Service

Dr. Sally.

These are substances for analysis requested by Gangdong Police.

The rape victim's urine,

blood and hair.

Given that the victim lost her memory...

and blacked out too,

- this case might be related to GHB. - Wow, GHB?

Don't be so pleased. The NFS has never detected...

GHB that was inside a human body.

This is a villain.

GHB.

Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid.

It's only a few molecules and strong polar,

so the elimination time is too short.

It only takes six hours for GHB to come out in the urine.

Right.

Dr. Hwang said this substance is too hard to detect,

- and she gave up eventually. - Did she?

Leave them here.

I'm more than willing to accept the challenge.

Yes, Mr. Yang.

I'm on my way to the NFS with a body for an autopsy.

Please register this case right away.

Why did you request this accidental death as an emergency?

This isn't even a violent crime.

Where is Dr. Baek?

New Mail

Sender: No name

What's this?

Is this spam, or what?

I'm asking for an emergency autopsy.

What's all the fuss?

Snake Bite (Accidental Death)

A snake bite?

This definitely isn't an accidental death.

I have enough circumstantial evidence to prove it as a murder,

and you're the only one...

who can reveal the truth of this case.

That's why I'm here.

Death Certificate

Did you know the deceased?

I can't disclose details,

but he was...

an NTS investigative officer on a confidential case of public officers...

who are related to business leaders.

The investigation was nearing the last stage,

and was right before the press release.

And he died from a snake bite near his father's grave?

That's what makes this all nonsense.

There's one thing I'm suspicious about.

The man manipulated this to make it look like an accidental death.

- The man? - You know him.

The cleaner hired by Sungjin Group.

The one who rigged the Oh Man-sang case...

and constructed the spree killing.

This kind of person really starts to kill someone else,

then no one can stop him.

Korean Standard Classification of Diseases Search Engine for Disease Code

Snake venom.

Why don't you prove that theory yourself?

Only if you can.

This is a rare case.

The director told me...

that the NFS never had a case of a snake bite.

I'm sorry, but the schedule is full today.

Do you want me to schedule this tomorrow?

This case...

has to be dealt right now and by you, Dr. Baek.

I'm begging you.

Goodness, it's full today though.

I'll do it during lunchtime.

Request an postmortem angiography first.

Yes, sir.

Look.

One is down.

What's this?

Did the man take care of this?

You said...

you sent Doctor K out of town.

You should be thankful for this. You're...

But this is way out of line!

The man worked at the NTS.

I know nothing about this.

This is all your job,

so close this case as you please.

Where do you think you're going?

- Have a seat. - What?

Do you want to blow your nose without using hands?

We're in the same boat.

You can't take off now.

I'm here...

on behalf of Chairman Oh Pil-joong.

Okay.

So...

- What's the plan now? - We need to clean up.

You mean I need to close the case as an accidental death?

Read the atmosphere.

This man...

collaborated with Doh Ji-han when they worked together at the Special Department.

Doh Ji-han would definitely respond to this.

What'll you do if things go wrong?

That's why we need something extraordinary.

- We need a three-step strategy. - Three-step?

First we need to keep Doh Ji-han and Park Yeong-su apart.

Second, drive Doh Ji-han to the corner.

And last...

We need to ruin the essence.

We need another case to make this one go away.

Ruining the essence?

Do you have a case, then?

What's your weapon?

We aren't amateurs.

The most commonly used ones.

Celebrities, drugs, and sex.

Gal Dae-cheol.

Do we have any case we haven't disclosed yet?

You don't even need to rummage your files.

This morning,

this case was submitted to Gangdong Police Station.

It involves drugs,

rape and celebrities.

This is a gift box.

Oh, my.

This one must have some sort of police protection.

If that's the case,

we can't even indict this.

That's why we need to go with this.

This one is a maze.

This can't be resolved at once if not forever.

You need a big one like this to make Doh Ji-han anxious.

We need to more than just make him anxious.

He needs to be distracted at all times.

Hello, Reporter Cha.

I know you need a source.

I'll send you a file,

and you must make it headline news, okay?

Mr. Gal seems to have a drive, since he has nothing to lose.

This is a contingency plan.

I can't stand hearing "Mr. Doh" at all.

He's only a human who can always fail.

He won't be able to win this case.

I'll take care of...

the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

You're taking a bold step here.

How far are you willing to go?

All right.

Doh Ji-han transferred the body himself to the NFS,

and the autopsy has started.

This is going just as we expected.

- Let's begin the first step. - But what if...?

What if something goes wrong?

Mr. Noh.

We have blood on our hands.

There's nothing we can't do now.

We have no choice but to stay in the course...

until we see the finish line.

This blood is before injecting a contrast.

Tell them to run a toxicology test with this.

Got it.

Cannula.

Run the Angio.

I'm injecting a contrast.

Autoinjector of contrast

Deputy District Prosecutor Noh Han-sin

- Yes, Mr. Noh. - Mr. Doh.

Where are you now?

I'm observing an autopsy at the NFS.

Haven't you heard the news in our jurisdiction?

A celebrity...

shot GHB into a college girl and raped her.

This case is assigned to you,

so return to the office right now...

- and start the complainant interrogation. - It could be done...

by Prosecutor Eun.

I'll come back after the autopsy.

What's the autopsy about?

It's NTS officer Park Yeong-su...

Right, I've read the news.

Why are you conducting an autopsy who died of a snake bite?

I'll take care of it.

I said to come back right now.

No.

I'll come back after the autopsy.

What a brat.

He wouldn't come back with Park Yeong-su on the table.

Have Ms. Eun on the case first.

- Lawyer Yu. - Yes.

Let's move on to the next step.

Okay, just prepare yourself well.

Don't worry. I'll take of things nicely.

What about the NFS?

I already contacted someone in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Everyone at the NFS will...

have no time to spare.

Okay, close the case nicely.

What do you want me to do with Doh Ji-han?

Keep the record for now,

and use it as our leverage.

This will...

cost him a lot.

Ji-han.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Let's go.

Chairman Wang Ho-jun, nice to meet you.

I'm Doh Ji-han from the Special Department...

and leading the special prosecutor.

I'm Park Yeong-su, a special investigator...

from the NTS.

We aren't comfortable with each other,

so why not skip the introduction?

Mr. Doh.

This is the file we received yesterday.

This is a lobbying diary by Park Ju-hun...

from the planning department under your direct command.

He kept the record meticulously.

The date written in this diary...

and your meeting schedule...

kept in your secretary's diary...

match exactly the same.

September 13, 2017.

A meeting with Daewoong Capital Chairman Nam at 2 p.m.

The lobbying diary says...

you bribed $280,000.

Everything else is pretty much the same.

13 were written under their real names.

May I go to the restroom for a second?

Yes, you may.

We're almost there.

His hands are tied.

He'll admit everything after making up his mind...

What was that?

- My gosh! - Goodness!

Is that a man?

Call 119!

Are you okay?

Step back.

Move, people!

What's going on?

Close the case.

Park Ju-hun's diary is...

virtually the Wangho Group's bribery ledger.

Bankers, businessmen and incumbent lawmakers...

who were bribed,

and the amount of the bribe as well as the methods,

were all recorded in the diary.

Are you trying to disobey me?

We shouldn't stop here with clear evidence!

They say targeted and forced investigation led to the chairman's death.

You know it's not true.

But the public doesn't care at all.

Doh Ji-han.

Do you really think you can change the world?

Everyone is safe now, thanks to Wang Ho-jun's death.

That's how the world works.

I can't accept it.

Personnel Order

You should be on something else, then.

Transfer: Doh Ji-han to the Seoul Eastern DPO

Oh, my.

This is ridiculous.

Ji-han.

This is wrong.

We've perspired to get this far.

Why do we have to give up now?

Yeong-su.

I'll finish this time.

It's 12:28 p.m.

The autopsy begins now.

Prove One's Death

Mr. Doh, if it's too hard...

No.

I'll stand by him here.

There's no external wound except for the ankle.

Right.

The body is too clean.

Facial blood congestion.

Facial blood congestion.

- Hemophthalmia. - Hemophthalmia.

- Conjunctival petechiae. - Conjunctival petechiae.

- Ulorrhagia. - Ulorrhagia.

Give me a loupe.

A scratch on the left nostril skin.

A scratch on the left nostril skin.

You can have a scratch like that while blowing your nose.

Can you?

Then do it.

Hand me a nasopharyngeal swab kit.

A snake bite on the right ankle.

A snake bite on the right ankle.

I see a bite site and dermal necrosis.

A bite site and dermal necrosis.

- Exudative inflammation. - Exudative inflammation.

- Edema. - Edema.

- A bite mark. - A bite mark.

This looks like a fang.

Let's make the mold of it.

Bring me an illustrated book of reptiles.

An illustrated book of reptiles?

We don't have one.

Then find one on the internet.

We need to compare this with the book.

Got it.

Found it.

I'll put up the image on the screen.

This isn't the one, right?

Right.

This gap between the third and fourth...

look about the same as the one on the body.

Short-tailed viper.

Do you have to look up to know the type?

Of course, because we lack the information.

There aren't many deadly snakes in South Korea,

and no data on snake venom at all.

And we don't have a vet or anyone here in the NFS.

I heard you were a surgeon.

That's why I see so many books on CS.

But...

you don't have any books on veterinary medicine.

Put up the angiography result.

What's that?

We injected a contrast before running CT scans.

Then we can see...

the shapes of blood vessels on the scan,

so we can check any damage...

on blood vessels with the naked eye.

What are all these?

It's too bad.

All the blood vessels...

and organs bled out.

But he had no external wounds. How is this possible?

Find if there are any needle marks.

We have dozens of ruptured vessels.

How is it possible to find the marks?

Ruptured blood vessels? How is it possible?

For that, we need an autopsy.

Dr. Baek.

I see thin bleeding there.

Loupe.

No needle mark.

It looked like a needle mark caused it.

This is too tricky.

We need to find all the suspicious marks.

Wear the loupe and look for what I tell you.

Yes, sir.

I'm at the Seoul Eastern DPO where Kang Jun-seo is charged...

for the drugging and rape of a college girl.

Since the news broke out,

the release of his new film was postponed,

and all his shows will have him edited out.

Even his fans turned their back.

The public anger is at its peak,

and even I can feel the hostile environment.

- He's here! - He's here, stop rolling.

- What a jerk! - You rapist!

We Trust You, Jun-seo

Kang Jun-seo is a Rapist

Before coming here voluntarily,

I had hard times.

But I decided to reveal the truth,

so that's why I'm here today.

As a public figure and a human being,

I stake all my dignity and reputation to tell you this.

I...

I'm innocent.

Do you mean you didn't rape the girl?

Your case is suspected to involve drugs. Is it GHB?

Do you admit your charges?

All allegations will be cleared out by the investigation.

He'll faithfully take part in.

That's all.

- Do you admit it? - What a scum!

His eyes are that of junkies.

As far as I know about crime phrenology,

he did it.

It's been a while, Ms. Eun.

I know you're busy,

so I came here by myself to lift some of your burdens.

Say hello to them.

Hello, I'm Kang Jun-seo.

According to the procedure,

you know complainant interrogation comes first, right?

You need to wait.

My client isn't familiar with waiting.

Even if he's not,

you should follow us.

He's totally different from a minute ago.

He surely is an actor.

By the way, why does he dress up like that?

Still, he's so handsome.

Didn't you say he has a junkie's eyes?

#32.

Bleeding from the left brachial muscle.

That's it. All we found are moles.

- Anywhere else? - No.

Didn't you find a needle mark then?

No.

There can't be any, since he has no external wounds.

Then how can you explain...

all the bleeding without any wounds?

Given the amount of blood,

wouldn't he be possibly poisoned?

- Stop writing fiction. - Then...

where does all the bleeding come from?

Turn off the mic.

Forget it.

Scalpel.

I'll take a look at the stomach. Give me scissors.

Here.

Dr. Baek, what's wrong?

Are you okay?

What's this smell? It's really strong.
