Original subtitles

What is it? I'm busy.

You know this guy, right?

He's pretty.

- Who is this? - Jang Cheol.

You call him Doctor K.

Remember?

Mr. Lim Ha-su.

On May 23rd, you were at a container in Incheon.

And you called someone saved as "Doctor K" on your phone to come to you.

Correct?

How do you know him?

I already told you.

- I don't know him. - Lim Ha-su.

Chun-sam Clan is #2. Born in Beolgyo in 1978.

- You're from Beolgyo. - So?

Beolgyo.

Southern coast. Mudflat.

Jang Cheol's also from Beolgyo, isn't he?

I said, I don't know.

This is over.

- Sit down, jerk! - Why don't you sit?

Or Mr. Doh will turn on the Dobermann mode.

You know, the hunting dog?

- Once it bites, it never lets go. - That's funny.

You already put me in jail, didn't you?

Lim Ha-su.

- You got five years for the drug case. - So?

After four years and eight months, you'll get excited.

Like a soldier ready to be discharged, you won't even sit still.

When you're about to be released,

for brokering drug sales,

you'll get seven more years.

Then you're back to jail.

- Still don't know him? - This is insane.

I say I don't know him because I don't.

A charge is added whenever you say you don't know him.

All right.

Let's travel around.

Why are you doing this to me?

You made illegal drugs too.

When you're about to get crazy missing the air outside,

I'll use this at the right timing.

This is habitual, which means you'll get more than ten years.

Still don't know him?

Why are you suddenly after him?

A National Tax Service agent was digging up a major company.

He's having a baby next month.

- He died yesterday. - He died?

He was murdered by Doctor K.

Doctor K doesn't kill people.

I guess you don't know...

No! Cheol won't do such a thing!

Tell me what you know about Jang Cheol.

How you met him,

and what he did,

in chronological order.

He lived next door when we were young.

Cheol.

Come here.

Hide in there.

Where's my son?

You saw him, right?

He went that way.

Jang Cheol. Son!

Cheol, she's gone.

Hey.

Were you beaten again for being second-best in school?

Why is your mom so greedy?

She's scary.

Did you get hurt?

- It was by a knife. - You can't leave it like that.

It'll fester.

Goodness. You're good.

You're a doctor.

Be a doctor when you grow up.

That boy.

He was brilliant.

But I lost contact too.

Jerk, say it already!

I did! That's all!

You jerk!

Mr. Yang, it's all right.

Give me the old address.

What kind of job are you doing?

Why?

Why is Park Yeong-su's body still with the NFS?

Dr. Baek is conducting the second autopsy for four hours!

What?

- The autopsy was over. - He's doing it again.

You know how he is.

He won't stop when he's into it.

This is ridiculous.

If he finds something, we're hopeless.

Don't you remember how he got us with the spree killer case?

- Do the job right. - Hey.

How dare you order me?

Sungjin pulled its strings in Ministry of Justice...

and canceled your punishment for you to do the job, understand?

I got it.

For goodness' sake.

National Forensic Service

I'll rerun the biopsy of the area bitten by the snake.

- Scalpel. - Dr. Baek.

We did it three times. There's no lesion.

What does autopsy mean?

An autopsy is an autopsy.

It means to observe with your own eyes.

Scalpel.

Tissue cassette.

Hey, Dr. Baek.

Let's follow the protocol.

- Stop the autopsy! - What?

His case is closed as an accidental death.

The autopsy order from this morning was retrieved.

And you started the autopsy without permission?

Dr. Baek, what do we do?

What do you mean? We continue.

We can't do it without a command. We'll get in trouble.

Turn the speakers off and lock the door.

I'll turn in the written apology.

Get your hands off.

Dr. Baek,

you don't lose your composure when it comes to autopsy.

This isn't like you. What's up with you?

Do I quit when I have nothing?

If you have nothing after ten hours,

you've done enough.

Mr. Park, take him out.

You know what happens if an autopsy is done without our command.

- Get the body out. - Yes, sir.

- You can't! - Dr. Baek!

This foot has to be sutured before we take him out.

Remember what you told me?

The body should look more beautiful after the autopsy.

Right. That's the principle.

I won't let his family see the body with his foot like this.

Okay. Hurry and suture it.

- Suture. - Okay.

Cut.

- Get the body out. - Yes, sir.

I'm sorry you didn't get the tissue.

Where are the suture and needle? Get them.

- Why? - Hurry and get them.

Here.

- Tissue cassette. - Tissue cassette?

- Hurry before it gets contaminated. - Okay.

Did you take a tissue while suturing?

Or would I let them steal the body? Bring it.

- Dr. Baek, that's our Grumpy Beom. - Be quiet.

- Put it right. - You don't know how to give up.

- You realize that now? - I'll always support you.

Careful.

- Store it carefully. - Okay.

Dr. Park, you always make the right decisions.

As a civil servant, I have to follow the legal procedure.

You did the same thing nine years ago.

Were you at the NFS central branch back then?

The alleged matricide.

- A matricide? - Yes.

A medical student allegedly killed his mother.

Hey. Are you her son? Wake up!

Don't touch her.

We have to put the plastic sheet before putting her down.

You were so careful and called it an open verdict.

It seemed evident that it was a homicide.

Because of your report,

I couldn't charge him.

But the boy became a doctor.

He helped the NFS the other day. You didn't recognize him?

- What? - Dr. Jang Cheol.

- He's the guy. - What?

You only conducted the autopsy of his mother,

so no wonder you didn't recognize him.

Why are you telling me this now?

Well, it's nothing.

I just wanted you to know.

I planted a useful seed in the NFS.

- Baek Beom will stay quiet. - Good job.

- It was a long day. - No.

It's not over yet.

We only got his connection to a criminal organization.

289 Changdong-li, Beolgyo-eup.

Beolgyo.

Beolgyo.

Jang Cheol came to Hanju Hospital last February, right?

Yes.

Mr. Gal came to the Eastern DPO last February too.

Before that, he was in the Beolgyo Office.

Wait, that's true. What's going on?

A coincidence?

A coincidence?

Conjunctival petechiae.

Edema.

Soft-tissue hemorrhage.

Hemolysis.

Typical signs of hemotoxin.

Toxin in blood

The circumstances say homicide, but there's no evidence.

Dr. Baek.

I stored the tissue of Park Yeong-su's ankle bitten by the snake.

Okay.

What else are you looking for? We've done enough.

Even you are a no match to a snake.

Trying to bite me too?

No, that's not it.

In the autopsy, you always tell us to be the perp...

and find the cause of injuries easily.

But not this time.

It's because our suspect is a snake.

Exactly. It's not that you can be a snake.

You can be a grumpy tiger,

but not a snake.

- Why not? - What?

- I can be a snake. Right? - Yes.

How is that possible, though?

- Get ready. - Why? Where are you going?

To become a snake.

It's the snake.

Dr. Baek, wait!

Hey, what are you doing?

We have three reports to submit, but you didn't submit them.

I'll do it tomorrow. I'm busy today.

Tomorrow? Where are you going?

Hey, stop.

Hey, what's wrong with him?

He used to stay only in his office and autopsy room. Where's he going?

I don't know how to put it.

To become a snake?

What? Become a snake?

Don't even try to understand.

He's going beyond the human boundary.

Sure, go ahead and become a snake, eating grass and bugs.

- Aren't you coming? - I'll get going.

Hey, what about the reports?

You have to submit them today!

Mr. Gal, this is a file from Mr. Doh.

- From Mr. Doh? - Yes.

Business Trip to Beolgyo

- Call him. - Okay.

Business trip? Why do you need to go to Beolgyo?

To track down Park Yeong-su's killer.

Do you have time to go on a business trip?

Don't go anywhere. Keep a low profile.

Why?

- Because it's Beolgyo? - What?

You were at the Beolgyo Office before coming here last February.

Doctor K came to Seoul in February too.

- What are you talking about? - Hanju Hospital's Jang Cheol.

You two are close.

Gee. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Sure.

That's why I'm going there myself. Got it?

Stop right there.

Mr. Doh, as of now,

you can't command any investigation.

Filing warrants, outside work, and investigation.

Everything stops.

- It's an order as the head prosecutor. - What if I insist?

If you leave now, you're going AWOL.

That calls for disciplinary action, you know?

Is that what you're after? Getting rid of me?

You crossed the line first.

Exactly.

Stay quiet behind the line.

No.

To confront the guy who crossed the line, I should do the same.

How about Ms. Eun,

who'll be accused of the GHB case while you're doing this?

Since the NFS couldn't detect GHB,

we became the idiots fooled by a gold-digger.

That happened when you left Ms. Eun alone.

Did you even care?

What if it hurts your people again?

Mr. Doh!

I disapproved of your business trip.

If you leave the building, you're leaving the place of your duty.

You can't stop me now.

It's an order from your head prosecutor!

I have no reason to follow that order!

Mr. Doh!

Mr. Doh, did you get the approval?

- I'll drive. - No.

- I'm going alone. - What?

I'm acting independently now, disobeying Mr. Gal's order.

Leaving my place of duty or violating my duty.

Either one is an offense to the Act on Discipline of Prosecutors.

What are you talking about?

You don't need to take the risk.

- I'll go alone. - Gee.

- Nonsense. Let... - Mr. Yang.

Soo-dong.

Listen to me.

I'll take the burden alone.

Help me to do that.

Gee.

But...

This can't be happening.

It has to be a wild snake. Is it?

We only have wild snakes.

We catch so many snakes these days.

A viper is hard to get.

I want a short-tailed viper.

Short-tailed viper? Let's see.

Here it is!

We want fresh venom.

I can't do it alone.

Hold the tube.

Hurry.

- What are you waiting for? - No, I'm scared of snakes.

You do it. You wanted to be the snake.

I have anti-venom. You won't die. Hold it.

No.

- You do it. - What are you doing?

Hold the tube, already!

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Let's go.

Sir, how much is this snake wine?

You want a glass?

It's great for stamina.

Doctor, are you going to buy snake wine?

It's no good.

What kind of life did he have?

Mom!

Mom, there's someone here!

Mom, there's a bug here!

Mom!

Let me out!

Please let me out!

Mom!

Mother!

Mother, I got into med school.

You still have a long way to go to catch up with your dad.

Yes.

Yes, Mother.

National Forensic Service

Gosh. It's nothing again.

Dr. Ma!

Ahn Ji-hye's third blood test didn't have GHB again!

Nothing again?

This is driving me nuts.

Sally, let's try it one last time.

Stop wasting the sample.

We only got the amount for one more test.

This darn GHB.

- Where are you going? - To get some fresh air.

Sally.

- Do you know how to cultivate bacteria? - I did it in school. Why?

I have to make a bacteria culture medium, so wrap that up and come.

The GHB put a hole in my soul,

so I'm filling it up with ramyun.

Still on GHB?

- Where did you get stuck? - I guess LC/MS can't target it.

The metabolite must be hiding somewhere.

Is the molecular value too small?

How can LC/MS detect the single exposure of GHB?

You used the wrong method.

Don't you trust...?

Right. It was the wrong method.

Which method should I use?

I'll give up the molecules because they're so small...

You should run a test higher in sensitivity and selectivity than LC/MS.

There isn't a test like that.

There is. The one much smaller than molecules.

I should look into that first.

Come on. What are you doing here when we're busy?

How can you eat ramyun now?

Dr. Ma, I found a way.

You did? What is it?

Atoms! Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry. IR/MS!

Sally, the NFS doesn't have an IR/MS system.

- I know where it is. - You good?

Hurry. I don't have time.

- Life is give-and-take. - Sally!

Where is it?

Those jerks.

Label it.

Park Yeong-su Deadly Venom

Apply the next bacteria.

My bacteria, grow well.

You're something too.

What did you say?

Go and work.

Where did you learn how to drive?

Did you bring the official request to use the IR/MS system?

Of course.

Did you bring blood and urine samples?

KFDA

The KFDA has the equipment the NFS doesn't have?

Yes. Every substance has an isotope fingerprint.

IR/MS uses that to verify food's authenticity,

its origin, and product descriptions.

Food authenticity?

The KFDA requested it.

Fake honey is in the market, so they want to identify it.

That real honey verification?

She's in the greenroom.

Bring her here once the makeup is done.

News Focus

Prosecutor Gal Dae-cheol

The live broadcast will start soon.

Ms. Ahn, come this way.

Five minutes until we go on-air. Standby.

The victim of Kang Jun-seo's drug-infused rape case...

is here with me.

Thanks for making a tough decision to come here.

Will you tell us?

What happened in the hotel room that day?

I...

Did you get it?

This is the result when we run the blood with LC/MS.

As you can see, nothing special.

Here's the result of IR/MS.

You got excited and spoke in English again.

Speak in Korean.

This is the metabolite of GHB.

It's the isotope fingerprint that never gets erased.

We have decisive evidence that GHB was in her body.

Then we found GHB in her body!

Yes. It's clearly in it.

With this we can arrest Kang Jun-seo without a warrant.

We'll get going. Thank you.

Ms. Ahn, it's okay.

Please feel free to talk.

I wasn't raped by Kang Jun-seo.

I've never had GHB.

I've never had a memory blackout.

Not at all.

Did you hear that?

Mr. Cha, keep asking her questions. Get the details.

Yes, Ms. Cheon.

You have to turn on the news!

- News? - News?

Okay.

Were all your testimonies lies?

Kang Jun-seo Case's Victim Changed Her Statement

All charges I had against Kang Jun-seo...

I'll drop them all.

What's she talking about?

What on earth is going on?

What is this?

"I'm sorry."

What?

It's smudged to the right.

That means he's left-handed.

I should've treated you with something better.

No.

Dr. Jang. Are you a lefty?

Yes.

Goodness.

Dr. Baek, wake up!

Still sleeping?

- What time is it? - It's after ten.

I told you to wake me up at 10:15.

- I'm late. - Late for what?

Can't you tell right away?

- They're different. - What's different?

These are different.

Why is the venom from the same short-tailed viper different?

The snake venom isn't always the same.

Doctor. There's something you should see.

What?

Come this way.

It's been so long since someone came here.

I'll take a look.

Whatever you want.

Yes, Dr. Baek.

Hello?

- Mr. Doh. - Yes, Dr. Baek.

We found a possibility that Park Yeong-su was murdered.

I knew it.

I have something to tell you about Jang Cheol.

Jang Cheol has...

a different personality inside him.

So be careful.

Hello?

You there, Mr. Doh?

It's been a while.

Baek Beom.

We've never met.

You killed Yeong-su.

I can't fake it as a natural death. Baek Beom will know.

Then we'll execute the search-and-seizure warrant now.

This is a human-rights violation.

If you have nothing to hide, get tested.

Either Ji-han or I have to get knocked down to put an end to this.

We'll begin the Disciplinary Committee against Prosecutor Doh Ji-han.

Please wait!

Why investigate the case when it's closed as an accidental death?

What if it wasn't an accidental death?

Your theories don't add up.

What are you doing?

Bite!
