(Episode 16)

What do you think happened on the\Nrooftop after he was dragged there?

These days, we can find\Neverything online.

They tend to brag about it\Non their social media.

I doubt that\Nhe'll even open his mouth.

Seriously. He's a head case.

If not through the kids,

we must find out\Nthrough other means.

I don't know if I should have my son\Ntransferred to another school.

Jae Hoon's room is\Nright next to his.

It's suicide, right?

My gosh, it's the exam week\Nfor Kang Doo.

You might disapprove of me\Nif I say this.

But our sons' ranks will go\None place higher.

So Jun Ha will be\Nat the top of his class now.

Top of his class?

That doesn't mean anything.

All I want...

is for Jun Ha to stay healthy.

Everyone is here except for me.

Hello. I'm Prosecutor Eun Sol\Nfrom Seoul Eastern District.

What is this regarding?

I wanted to discuss\Nsomething with all of you.

I understand that\Nyou must be heartbroken.

I wanted to comfort you,

but I didn't reach out because\NI thought it wasn't the right time.

Nonetheless,\Nambushing our meeting...

with the prosecutor is\Nno way to behave.

I heard...

it's the exam week for the kids.

Do you want me to call them out too?

Or...

will you cooperate\Nwith the investigation?

For all these years,

your sons followed\Nthe academy schedule I made,

and you tried hard to put your sons\Nin the study groups I'd formed.

You bought me a designer handbag.

You came to my home and made kimchi.

You got me tickets\Nfor the most luxurious massages.

You wanted your sons to\Njoin my study groups.

Don't you remember?

My son, Sung Jae,

was your idol, object of admiration,\Nand your dream son.

You were good to me as you wanted\Nyour sons to be like mine.

But...

as soon as my son was gone,

you all jumped ship.

Do Hee.

You're being rude.

I no longer have a son.

My son...

died.

Do you think...

my son's death has nothing\Nto do with yours?

I know that your sons are done\Nwith their academy at 8:30pm.

You're in charge of giving them\Na ride today, right?

And I know that you have all\Nof their cell phones in your bag.

Can you show them to me?

Should I request for\Na search and seizure warrant?

I'll get on it right away.

Hold on, please.

I'll show them to you.

Could you unlock the phones as well?

Do you think they are some kind\Nof delinquents or thugs?

Ma'am, you're greatly mistaken.

This meeting consists\Nof the top five students...

from the specialized high school.

All of their fathers are\Ninfluential as well.

I find this kind of\Nbehavior very rude.

I didn't find anything.

- On all of the phones?\N- Yes.

You're suspecting innocent kids.

Are you lawfully executing\Nyour official duty?

You don't have evidence. That's why\Nyou're going through their phones.

He only posted their group photos\Non his social media.

It's odd that these best friends\Ndidn't create a group chatroom.

Did you all...

erase it?

Park Jun Ha, Ahn Jae Hoon,\NCha Dong Soo, and Kim Kang Doo.

These four students were\Nwith Sung Jae...

- on the scene of the incident.\N- That's not possible.

- Jun Ha was at the academy then.\N- So was Jae Hoon.

Then...

who are they?

Five students went up together,

but why did only four of them\Ncome back down?

This is a murder case.

Park Jun Ha, Ahn Jae Hoon,\NCha Dong Soo, and Kim Kang Doo...

are suspects\Nof Ma Sung Jae's murder.

Thank you for\Nyour cooperation today.

What are you talking about?

What did she just say?

Unbelievable.

What's going on?

Can you please explain?

What are we going to do?

What are you doing?

Swab everything...

from there to there.

He didn't ask us\Nto take just the samples?

He wanted the entire wall.\NIncluding the rails.

(Court)

The cause of death\Nof the driver, the husband,

is cervical vertebrae fracture.\NIn other words, his neck broke.

And the cause of death\Nof the passenger, the wife,

is hemothorax of thoracic cavity\Ncaused by rib fracture.

In other words,

she died because\Nher chest was filled with blood.

Can we tell\Nwhich one of them died first?

When someone's\Ncervical vertebrae is fractured,

it can cause the person\Nto die immediately from the injury.

But hemothorax of\Nthe thoracic cavity...

takes at least minutes\Nto cause someone to die...

since the blood needs to fill up\Nuntil it's impossible to breathe.

Hence,

it looks like\Nthe husband died first.

If the husband died...

even a minute before the wife,

that means his assets...

were inherited by his wife\Nwhile she was alive.

What are you talking about?

This is nonsense.

Overruled.

Please continue.

Therefore, it is only logical...

for his assets to be...

given to her family, her sister,\Nwhich is his sister-in-law.

(Defense Counsel)

The swindling of his inheritance\Nby the defendant, her mother-in-law,

is illegal.

That is all.

Take it.

I wrote a book.

("Every Murder Leaves a Mark")

I'll have a good read.\NYour books are always helpful.

I'm embarrassed to show this\Nto those who are in the field.

These books are a must-read...

if you're someone\Nwho works in the field.

If your brother saw you today,

he would've been very proud.

(Hangook University Hospital,\NKang Yong)

There is no damage\Ncaused by an external force...

or any intervention\Nfrom another person.

However,

I did see two fresh needle marks\Non his left arm.

We'd have to run a test\Nfor toxic substances,

but it looks like\Na suicide by poisoning.

A suicide?

You said your brother was\Na doctor, right?

Yes.

Doctors know the kind of poison\Nthat can kill them very well.

For now,

I can only conclude\Nthat he injected it himself.

He wouldn't kill himself.

He said he's getting married soon.

His fiancee is pregnant too.

"People who commit suicide..."

"always leave hesitation wounds."

That's from your book.

My brother only had\Ntwo needle marks on his left arm.

There were no hesitation wounds.

It was as if someone else\Nhad injected it in him.

Many surgeons are ambidextrous.

My brother was left-handed.

He was always more precise\Nwith his left hand.

If he wanted to\Ninject poison himself,

he definitely would've used\Nhis left hand.

I'm at Seon Hospital right now.

- I'll go inside.\N- Good work.

The puzzles are\Ncoming together one by one.

(Psychotropic Drugs Registration)

Numbers of psychotropic drugs\Nwere left out of...

this registration.

(February 2018,\NMarch 2018, April 2018)

(Psychotropic Drugs Registration)

You must've gotten pretty rich\Nfrom selling off spare drugs.

This was from 10 years ago,\Nso it was difficult to find.

I also pass along\NProsecutor Kang's advice.

"You should stop doing this."

(Psychotropic Drugs Registration)

(National Forensic Service)

The doors are closing.

Stella, wait.

Hi.

Stella.

- Are you okay?\N- Yes, I'm okay. Thanks.

In Korea,

we say you need rice\Nto go through a difficult time.

"The power of rice".

Do you want to go eat with me?

- Hello.\N- Going up.

The doors are closing.

- Great work, Lieutenant Cha.\N- Oh, it's nothing, Director Park.

- Goodbye.\N- Goodbye.

The doors are closing.

Stella, I'm asking you out on...

Dr. Baek asks you to analyze...

Ma Sung Jae's case\Nin the standard dose.

Sure, but that'll take a while.

If you make it quick,\NI'll buy you beef.

Really? Beef? Meat?

There's a great place nearby.

Fantastic.

I've been analyzing them\Nurgently already.

Stella, what about me?

You like beef too, right?

Yes, of course.

- Do you want to join us?\N- What?

Good idea.

Ciao.

Wait. Stella. Wait. Stella.

- What are you doing?\N- You surprised me.

The doors are closing.

- Do you have your car?\N- Yes, what?

Wait, what?

Is your car parked here?

Yes.

Why are you so on edge?

Mr. Jang.

Are you close...

with Stella?

We're all family here at\Nthe National Forensic Service.

Stella is really good\Nat grilling meat.

We recently had a meal together.\NJust the two of us.

I'm good at grilling meat too.\NThis time, I'll do that.

What?

Do you really like meat that much?

Yes, I need all I can get.

(Vitamins)

Your urine has been\Nreally bright recently, right?

How did you know?

I was about to see a doctor\Nbecause I was worried.

If you have too much vitamin B\Nin your system, it comes out.

"Always take the right dosage."

That's what Stella always says.

Stella?

Fine, I won't eat these.

Dr. Baek, she's the nutritionist.

This was our lunch menu last month.

Do they usually eat lunch at 12pm?

Yes, it's always at 12pm\Nunless something comes up.

The lunch menu on that day was\Nspicy gochujang pork.

That's odd.

- His duodenum wasn't red.\N- Maybe he didn't eat lunch.

Or he might hate spicy pork.

Sung Jae didn't eat lunch\Non that day.

He just had a snack at 4pm.

We served white rice cake with milk.

Something that enters your body\Nnever lies.

You've seen your\Nbright-colored urine.

It's nothing.

Chief Prosecutor No.

Do you have a favor to ask?

No.

Someone asked me out on a lunch,

but I felt too awkward to\Ncome alone, so I brought you.

Who was it?

Do you know Euddeum Law Firm?

Isn't it 1 of Korea's\Ntop 5 firms?

Hello, I'm a bit late.

Welcome.

This is the wife of\NEuddeum's representative.

- This is...\N- I know very well who she is.

I didn't know that...

Jun Ha was Euddeum's\Nrepresentative's son.

I'm sure you did not.

Now that you do, I hope\NI needn't explain the situation.

Sorry. I'd like to be excused.

No one remains a prosecutor forever.

Think carefully.

I will pay for my meal.

- Shall I pay for yours too?\N- Sure.

You may.

I'll pay for my meal.

Letting someone else pay for you...

these days could cause\Na big problem.

Let's pay separately.

- Where's Prosecutor Eun?\N- She's late.

I hope she gets here soon.

- Welcome.\N- Hello.

- Let's start the meeting.\N- Okay.

Please sit first.

Then we'll begin.

Ma Sung Jae always did\Nbetter than Park Jun Ha,

so Park Jun Ha always\Ncame second in his year.

They were famous rivals.

Always coming second\Nto someone else...

is much worse than\Ncoming last all the time.

Did you ever come second?

I was always second. From the back.

"Exin" is a slang word\Nteenagers use these days.

"Explosion of inferiority".

It's so obvious.

Sung Jae skipped a grade\Nand was two years younger.

- It must've hurt Jun Ha's pride.\N- With Sung Jae out of the way,

- Jun Ha would win?\N- That's it.

That's the circumstances mapped out.

Yes, but the thing is...

Take over.

As you see here, at 6pm,\NSung Jae and his friends...

take the elevator upstairs.\NAn hour later at 7pm,

only his friends come down.

The body was found\Ntwo hours later...

at 9pm.

Do we have estimated time of death?\NThere are two hours unaccounted for.

Not yet. Dr. Baek's taking his time.

Prosecutor Eun.

This is no time to\Nwait for the NFS.

A kid is dead.

None of you\Nseem to get it because...

you're single without kids,

but listen.

This feels like a beating heart...

was ripped out of you\Nwhile you're still breathing.

No parent can sleep at night.\NWe must catch the killer.

If it was 3 to 1, they could've\Noverpowered Sung Jae.

If they wanted to,\Nthey could've pushed him over.

I feel so sorry for him.

He must've been so scared.

Security footages from the apartment\Nblock Sung Jae fell from.

We got a verification\Nrequest for it.

It was from...

Euddeum Law Firm.\NWhat's going on?

Did they hire a lawyer already?

Park Jun Ha's father\Nis Euddeum's highest lawyer.

- What?\N- What?

- Darn it.\N- Darn it.

Euddeum will be\Nreally tough to deal with.

Everyone's equal before the law.

Was anything ever easy?

The sky he last saw.\NHis last urine sample.

His last meal. His last...

What are you doing?

Do you have time to kill?\NWe're all really busy.

The liquid found on the wall\Nwas Sung Jae's urine.

(DNA Report)

(Ma Sung Jae)

- The railing.\N- We found microfibers.

It matches his pants.

If you were pushed,\Nyou'd fall head-first.

He came up at 6pm, and at 7pm,\Nonly the others came down.

His body was found at 9pm.

If we have estimated time of death,

we have the whole puzzle.

- Puzzle?\N- Yes.

- Traces of murder.\N- Don't write a novel.

No. This time I'll write\Na masterpiece.

"He died between 6pm and 7pm."

If you can tell us this,\Nwe can close this case.

Write your novel.

Is this Ma Sung Jae's residence?

- Yes.\N- Delivery.

What is it?

It's a delivery made to his name.

Oh no.

He saved his allowance to buy this.

(Shipping!)

He waited. He waited, honey!

He did not kill himself!

There's no way he killed himself!

Sung Jae.

Sung Jae.

Sung Jae.

Sung Jae. Sung Jae...

You're going to go in?\NThis is for bodies.

- Will you go in then?\N- I'll make you look good.

Four hours later. Not yet.

- We must do it again.\N- Okay.

We must do it again.

Okay.

There's no time.

Eat faster.

Lie down.

I put down a layer of plastic.

There's no time. Hurry.

Will you hurry up?

Do you have estimated time of death?

Dr. Ma and the prosecutors\Nare all nagging about when...

Will you do it? You do it then.

- No, no.\N- Get out.

(National Forensic Service)

(National Forensic Service)

What are you trying to pull?

Why would my son kill himself? Why?

What do you know?

What... What do you know?

Why would my son kill himself? Why?

(Partners for Justice)

Tell the truth!\NYou pushed Sung Jae!

Your son's a murderer!

I think Sung Jae was bullied a bit.

Call over Ma Sung Jae.

Why do you get\Nspecial treatment? Why?

He cheated first.

You felt inferior to him.\NYou weren't the only one, right?

Everyone in this school was\Njealous of Sung Jae.

He would never commit suicide.

I'll prove that\NDr. Baek was wrong...

and make sure that he never gets\Nto work in this field ever again.
