Partners for Justice Season 2

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

- Is this Dr. Jang Cheol's place? - Yes.

Then Doctor K is Dr. Jang?

Did Dr. Jang commit the snake case too?

We have decisive evidence that GHB was in her body.

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

I'll drop them all.

You were at Beolgyo Branch before coming here last February.

Doctor K came to Seoul in February too.

You two are close.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

That's why I'm going there myself.

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.

Who is this?

There's someone inside me, you said.

Jang Cheol?

Prosecutor Do Ji-han

Where is Mr. Doh?

He's fine.

Well, then.

Hold on. T63.0.

You sent it, right?

The disease code, T63.0.

Snake venom.

You sent me the email.

No?

- What? - Why?

Did you want to know how far I'd find out?

Was it a test?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Don't try to change the subject.

Why Mr. Doh?

What are you trying to do to him?

- Mr. Doh... - Enough.

I'm busy.

Jang Cheol. Hello?

- Yes. - Mr. Yang.

Where is Mr. Doh? He's in trouble.

He went to Beolgyo alone.

What? What did you say?

Got it.

What should I do?

I shouldn't have let him go by himself.

Wait.

Yeong-mi, book me a flight to Beolgyo ASAP.

Dr. Baek.

Mr. Doh should be all right, right?

Darn Doctor K.

Jang Cheol is a dangerous person.

Su-yeon, you should be careful too.

The problem is...

that Doctor K shares memories with Jang Cheol.

That's the problem.

Ji-han found Doctor K's hideout,

and went to Beolgyo to get him.

What? The three-cushion strategy?

You don't even know how to play billiards.

Whatever we do,

the NTS' civil-servant case and Ji-han are inseparable!

He doesn't care about disciplinary action?

You're so impatient.

It's not over yet.

Mr. Gal, you're in no place to relax.

What are you going to do with the guy in Beolgyo?

- What if Doctor K is caught? - Exactly.

That jerk is crazy about getting Doctor K, isn't he?

He is, which is why we're anxious!

I already told you.

Doctor K is under my control.

As long as I have him under my control,

Ji-han is also under my control, no matter how crazy he gets.

Gee.

Mr. Gal.

Can you get rid of them both at once?

Mr. Yu.

You take care of Kang Jun-seo.

He has to play the decoy well...

to make everyone stay out of focus. Got it?

What's the use of the deviation tactic if the main role doesn't do his job?

If we lose control of Ji-han, it's all vain effort.

It won't be long...

until he gets fired.

What is this?

He might not be afraid of the Disciplinary Committee,

but getting fired is another story.

Especially if it's humiliating.

You seem to have a plan.

In this battle,

either Ji-han or I...

have to get knocked down...

to put an end to this.

Goodness.

Jang Cheol, what are you doing?

Didn't Baek Beom tell you?

We've never met.

Who are you?

Cheol is too soft.

Just like when he was crying in the bathroom.

But...

I'm different.

You killed Yeong-su.

You shouldn't do this.

Hey, let me see.

If you keep acting like that, it'll leave ligature marks.

Blunt force trauma in the back of the head.

You have too much dust from this home on your clothes.

The trace evidence of an abandoned home is on the shoe soles.

What should I do?

I can't fake it as a natural death.

Baek Beom will know.

What?

Yeong-mi, is there a flight leaving right now?

I put you on the waiting lists.

- Wait. - I can't.

I'll drive.

Mr. Yang, where are you going?

- To Beolgyo. - Beolgyo?

Are you kidding me?

Call Ms. Eun.

We'll have an emergency meeting on the GHB case.

Hurry!

Ms. Eun.

It's been 48 hours since we sent Kang Jun-seo home.

It's enough time to destroy the evidence.

Should we just issue an arrest warrant?

Excuse me.

- Ms. Cheon. - Ms. Eun. Where are you?

Mr. Gal called an emergency meeting on the GHB case.

We're all waiting for you.

Right now?

Yes. Mr. Yang is also...

Ms. Eun, did you watch the news?

Where and what the heck are you doing?

I...

Okay. I'm here. I'll be right in.

It's not that we were fooling around!

Why didn't you tell Mr. Gal we found the GHB in the body?

First let's attend the meeting.

- Let's keep it secret about the GHB. - What?

We don't know who's connected in the Eastern DPO.

We have to be careful.

It'll be over soon.

You're Doctor K, aren't you?

Why did you kill Yeong-su? He had nothing to do with you.

The dead person is dead.

Is it a joke for you to kill someone?

Do you think my job is a joke?

I planned them with my heart and soul.

Yeong-su.

His baby will be born soon.

- Stop. - Why?

Feeling sorry about the baby?

Shut up!

That baby will grow without a father because of you.

- The baby won't know his father... - Shut up, jerk!

Why? Because you grew up without your father?

Derived from a military term, overkill is an unnecessarily-brutal murder

"Everything was a self-fabricated scenario."

Because of the bomb Ahn Ji-hye dropped,

the Eastern DPO became idiots fooled by a gold-digger.

And Mr. Doh is absent at this critical moment.

Does that make sense?

Mr. Gal, Mr. Doh isn't absent. He went to investigate...

Park Yeong-su's...

What's there to investigate when the case is closed...

as an accidental death from a snake bite?

Mr. Doh will be summoned to Disciplinary Committee for going AWOL.

- Disciplinary Committee? - That's nonsense!

Just because he's absent for a day?

He went to investigate, so he didn't leave his place of duty.

I didn't approve of his business trip to Beolgyo.

But he's not here.

He left his place of duty, didn't he?

When we have such a crucial case,

the prosecutor who should be cold-hearted...

is acting irresponsibly because of his acquaintance's death.

But you're busy covering for him.

Mr. Gal. Over the phone, before he left,

he assigned the GHB case to me.

I'll take care of the case, or I'll take responsibility.

Responsibility?

Can you handle a celeb's GHB case alone?

Do you think it's an easy case?

Mr. Gal.

I can't stay here. Mr. Doh...

Mr. Yang.

If you want to leave, leave your ID here.

Hey. Sit.

Sit down.

I apologize.

Hey. Stay put.

You don't want to get fired.

Yang Soo-dong.

Stop disobeying me.

Ms. Eun.

You said it, so you should keep it.

What are you going to do? Any idea?

First I'll meet with Ahn Ji-hye.

The woman who admitted she's a gold-digger on live news?

Goodness.

First I'll summon her.

Sure. Go ahead.

Call and talk to her.

Also, keep me posted...

without leaving out any detail.

Soo-dong.

Come to your senses.

If we don't back up Mr. Doh here,

he'll get disciplinary action. Okay?

I can't keep up with this!

Right. I know.

Darn it.

Are you awake?

I came in because you took so long,

but what the heck happened?

Hey, drink this.

By any chance, did you see the guy who was here?

Jang Cheol, who used to live here?

He was already leaving with his hair messy and eyes red.

He ran.

Do you know him?

A little.

National Forensic Service

Do you have the result of the re-test?

I got lidocaine in the nasopharynx in the form of a gel.

Toxicology Report

Lidocaine? That's anesthetic.

If it was a gel, it could also be used as a lubricant.

Why would lubricant be in the nostrils?

It's not that he shoved something in.

Exactly. This is unusual.

- What if he did? - What?

If he shoved something in, where it'd be now?

I don't know.

Even with the lubricant, if you shove something in his nose,

he would've gone crazy.

We have Park Yeong-su's blood sample left, right?

What? Blood sample?

That's what it is!

- Hurry. - Okay, I'll be back.

What? Why are you two hitting it off again?

Park Yeong-su's Blood

Where is she going?

Prosecutor Doh Ji-han

This is Baek Beom.

- This is Ji-han. - Mr. Doh.

Are you okay? What happened?

I'm all right. I'll tell you about it later.

Did you know Jang Cheol has dissociative identity disorder?

- Did you see him change? - Yes. He was a totally different person.

He had red dots. What are those?

It's angiokeratoma,

a symptom of Fabry disease, a rare genetic disorder.

If his mother had it, he has a 50% chance of having it.

As for Jang Cheol, one personality inherited Fabry disease,

and the other didn't.

How is that possible?

Trauma from childhood often leads to DID.

Childhood?

He must've subdued Doctor K with medicine.

But as he left abruptly, he probably couldn't take the pills.

So be careful.

Beolgyo General Hospital

An unmarried girl got pregnant,

so it was the talk of our town.

You'll find people who know his mother in Beolgyo General Hospital...

because she was a nurse.

Choi Hwa-yeong?

She was famous.

Why?

She and Jang Woo-hyeon, the hospital director back then, had an affair.

It was so-called the local wife.

- She got pregnant, right? - Yes.

That caused a scene.

Back in those days,

if a young nurse got pregnant, it was unwelcome by the hospital.

And Hwa-yeong wasn't even married, so you can guess how it was.

What about Jang Woo-hyeon?

I guess his wife's family found out about the baby.

He quit the hospital and left.

We found out about it only when the new director came.

So Hwa-yeong, who was pregnant, was in shock.

And?

We all assumed she got an abortion,

but she did give birth.

She couldn't get a job and was very sick.

I heard she changed, living a difficult life.

- Again? - She had a son, right?

Mother, I got into med school.

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

I heard her son was brilliant, just like Director Jang.

Have you heard from Hwa-yeong recently?

It's already been nine years.

She died.

There wasn't a chief mourner at the funeral.

What do you mean? She had her son.

- He was arrested. - Arrested?

- For what? - I don't know.

Well, I'm not sure if it's true, but...

Go on.

There was a rumor...

that her son killed her.

You killed a person!

Why? It's not the first time.

You have to stop.

Are you in pain?

You need the medicine, right?

I'm sorry,

but I didn't bring it.

You...

Give up, and you'll feel better.

Let's get to work.

Statement

Are you done with the written statement?

Yes. I'm sorry, Ms. Eun.

May I take a look?

Statement

I went to the club around 11:30 p.m. I had two bottles of beer...

It's strange.

Yes?

Before the assault,

in other words, before you met Kang Jun-seo,

you had an hour.

And you explained what happened during that time chronologically...

in detail over three sentences.

What happened over 12 hours since you met him...

is described only in one sentence.

- What does that...? - Why are you lying?

You went into detail for the things you remember,

but you leave out details over the period you passed out,

and shoved them into one sentence.

That shows the liar's mentality.

This is a dictation.

You met with Attorney Yu. What did he say?

Well, it's...

Did he say he'll drop the defamation and false accusation charges...

if you alter your statement?

Ms. Ahn, if we close the case like this,

there'll be second and third victims.

But...

I'm scared.

I can't do it. I'm sorry.

I can't.

Why was she so confident?

Look at the time!

Ms. Eun said she'd take responsibility, so let her finish it.

But there's no time.

What time?

I have to attend the Disciplinary Committee.

I'll get going.

Ms. Eun.

Mr. Gal just left.

- Why? - Just listen.

Ms. Ahn, listen carefully.

- What? The Disciplinary Committee? - Mr. Doh.

You have to attend it and explain yourself.

Mr. Gal seemed to have a plan.

Please listen to me this time and come back at once.

I hear you.

There's nothing in the KICS.

Korea Information System of Criminal Justice Services

Someone died there nine years ago, but there's no record?

The KICS was introduced in 2010,

so you have to dig through the file room for a case prior to that.

It's so dusty.

Let's see. The year 2010. Nope.

Here they are. One, two, three. These are the ones.

- May I take a look? - Sure.

Investigation Records

- What happened? - Dr. Baek!

I got Park Yeong-su's blood test result.

- You were right. - Good job.

Check one more thing and hurry back here.

Mr. Eun, now we just need a search- and-seizure warrant for Kang Jun-seo.

If we solve this case, Mr. Doh won't receive disciplinary action.

That's right.

But it won't be easy.

I can't explain everything right now,

but we can't trust anyone at the Eastern DPO anymore.

The Eastern DPO won't issue any warrants against Kang Jun-seo.

We have to find another way.

Is this a patrol dispatch log?

Let's see. May 3, 2010.

You're right.

The son called in.

Choi Hwa-yeong died from hanging.

There was a death case.

A hanging body requires investigation.

Why isn't there an initial investigation report?

How would I know?

There was a case, but not a report.

Someone got rid of it.

Did it slip out? What happened?

Why do you ask me?

That's a bit tricky.

Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office

He shouldn't be punished without a chance to explain himself.

Let's wait for him a little longer.

I can't.

Mr. Yang!

Dr. Baek!

Where is Dr. Baek?

Lidocaine gel.

Hold it.

- Hold tight. - I'm holding it tight.

Dr. Baek!

What are you doing?

He's conducting a test.

When does it end? We don't have time!

Syringe.

- Here. - Gosh.

Good enough.

Dr. Baek, if we can't prove Park Yeong-su was murdered,

Mr. Doh will face disciplinary action.

Is disciplinary action a thing over there?

Based on Article 2's Section 2 of Act on Discipline of Prosecutors,

we'll begin the Disciplinary Committee on Prosecutor Doh...

for violating his official duties and leaving his place of duty,

damaging prestige and dignity as a public prosecutor.

Watch this video that doesn't need explanation.

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!

What was that?

I apologize.

- Dr. Baek, are you done? - Yes.

I'll write the report, so upload it on the server.

No!

The Disciplinary Committee has begun.

You know.

This is an organization where an order is never canceled.

Dr. Baek, I beg you.

Please speak on his behalf.

I beg you.

- Get ready. - Okay.

Thank you, Dr. Baek.

Sally, get me something on the way.

Where are you?

Thank you!

In the history of prosecution,

have we ever had a mutiny like that?

I apologize.

It's all due to my incompetence as a deputy.

Let me take disciplinary action instead.

Justitia, the goddess of justice, has her eyes covered,

showing how she's unaffected by emotions. But...

Denying the fact that his junior classmate died from an accident,

he's still out of his place of duty?

You're right. He even missed the chance to explain himself today.

You know him very well.

Is there anything you want to add?

No, there isn't.

What? Is it already over?

Oh, no. This is crazy.

Dr. Baek. We don't have time. Hurry.

Then...

let's end the discussion.

We'll wait for your wise decision.

That concludes the Disciplinary Committee on Mr. Doh.

Please wait!

Mr. Yang. How dare you? Where do you think this is?

Mr. Doh didn't leave his place of duty.

He went to investigate.

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

What if it wasn't an accidental death?

This is Forensic Examiner Baek Beom from the NFS,

who conducted the autopsy of Park Yeong-su.

Hey, Dr. Baek.

I know how the NFS loves the twist in a story,

but enough is enough.

Come on. We ran like crazy.

- Shouldn't you hear his opinion? - Yes, you did well, Mr. Yang.

I'd also run like crazy if my boss is about to be disciplined.

Why don't we hear him out? He came all the way here.

He must have something to say.
