(Episode 22)

Heart diseases are the second leading cause of death in Korea.

It is common...

but is also dangerous at the same time.

As the average number of years increased, the prevalence rate...

The prevalence rate has been increasing rapidly.

Patients who have coronary artery disease and renal failure...

may recover quickly...

What's going on? Can't you see that I'm giving a lecture here?

We meet again, Dr. Lee Hye Seong.

- What's this about? - On June 11, 2018,

did you meet with Mr. Seo?

I don't know him.

On June 2, 4, and 5, 2018...

at 3:24pm, 8:17pm, and 6:50pm respectively,

you and Mr. Seo talked on the phone.

Should I continue and explain why you two talked?

It was to trade the security camera footage of the drug supply room...

in Seon Hospital with the record that you punched into...

- that room 10 years ago. - You made me do it.

Let's talk in private before it gets messier.

I have everything.

Everything? What do you have?

The box tapes.

- What? - To cover up your crime,

you cleaned the place spotlessly...

with box tapes.

But a piece of the tape...

was found on the scene...

with saliva.

Darn it.

You can't hide anymore.

Ms. Lee Hye Seong, according to the Article 250 of Criminal Code,

you're under arrest for the murder of Seo Jeong Min.

- What's going on? - She's arrested?

You may refuse to make a statement and consult to an attorney.

You may also file to review if the arrest was lawful or not.

- Round her up. - Yes, sir.

It's been you...

all along.

(DNA Analysis)

(The subject's DNA matches with the suspect's DNA.)

The DNA from the tape in Mr. Seo's house floor.

The DNA matches with yours, Ms. Lee.

You won't be able to lie anymore now.

On the night of June 11, 2018,

you visited the victim.

Give me some water.

(Zolpidem)

Why did you...

have to go that far?

Why?

I couldn't hold it back anymore.

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

I also pass along Prosecutor Kang's advice.

He wants you to stop doing this.

(Psychotropic Drugs Registration)

Mr. Kang's instructions end here,

but I won't let you walk away until we catch Baek Beom.

- See you later. - You said this was the last time.

Don't get the wrong idea just because we made a trade.

I'm an investigator at the prosecutors' office.

I heard you're aiming to become the hospital's director.

Your license will be revoked. You think that'd be possible then?

(Drug Storage Room)

(Zolpidem)

What brings you here all of a sudden?

I did everything you asked me to do.

- Let me walk away now. - Have you gone mad?

For whose benefit?

Do you know how much it took for me to get here?

You got here thanks to money and power...

while covering up your medical malpractice.

What?

You blamed Baek Beom for your malpractice 10 years ago.

Did you think I had no idea?

But I have no idea...

why he took the blame for what you've done.

What?

You shouldn't even be called a doctor.

You're just a criminal.

Wait, no.

Are you a murderer?

You killed someone with your hands.

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?

Don't say another word and just do as I tell you...

if you don't want to get locked up.

I'm glad you're here. Give me a second.

He brought it upon himself.

You injected two shots you prepared into him,

then rubbed Mr. Seo's fingerprint on the syringe...

to make it look like he killed himself.

Then you destroyed evidence.

Your lies...

have come to an end.

I killed...

I'm a doctor.

I save people.

But...

But what...

have I done?

You can stop pretending.

You may have escaped...

taking the responsibility after killing someone in an operation.

But not anymore.

Your eyes look similar...

to Yong's.

I used to like him 10 years ago.

But everyone had their eyes on Han So Hee.

Both Yong and Beom.

They both liked her.

What was so special about a nurse...

who was from an orphanage?

When I heard...

she was on the verge of death because of a car accident,

I hoped that Yong would finally notice me.

My life ended...

when he died.

I couldn't sleep a day without pills.

I couldn't live.

I mean it.

My life could have been better than this mess.

It's all because of Baek Beom.

No.

You brought it upon yourself.

So make sure...

you pay for what you've done.

(National Forensic Service)

My goodness, this smell.

I know you missed it.

I didn't. It smells awful.

You don't even put a mask on...

because the scent provides information. Didn't you miss this?

It's the smell of your home.

Since when did you become so talkative?

Welcome back. Your father had been worried about you.

Doctor Baek.

- You're here. - Welcome back.

- Take this. - What is this?

- Tofu. - Who eats this nowadays?

- Don't you have soy sauce in here? - Forget it.

Gosh.

Excuse me.

Darn it.

Lee Hye Seong of Seon Hospital...

- admitted to her crimes. - Learn to knock.

Hey.

I have a favor to ask.

(Autopsy Result, Hangook University)

These are the autopsy result and pictures...

of someone who died 10 years ago.

I wanted to ask you to go over it again...

without asking who this is.

(Autopsy Result, Hangook University Hospital)

(Cause of death: Suicide)

This person was left-handed.

- Pardon? - They've been writing...

with their left hand for at least 15 years.

Then...

What about this needle mark on their left arm?

Was that done by someone else?

A left-handed person couldn't inject something on their left arm.

Don't write a novel.

[VIU Ver] MBC E22 Partners for Justice "Your Lies Have Come to an End" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

This person has 4 needle marks on their body, not 2.

Look.

Even a left-handed person could inject themselves there.

Then did this person commit suicide?

Wrong question.

It should be, "Which one of them was injected by themselves?"

2007...

2007... 2008...

2008.

Let's see.

Found it.

Yes?

Prosecutor Eun, I found Kang Yong's medical records.

It was May 26, 2008.

He was prescribed with antibiotics and a tetanus shot.

He was pricked by a needle while operating.

Doctor Kang.

Two injections.

(Prescription Record)

Your older brother...

was left-handed, right?

Look.

On the back of his right hand were two more injection marks.

These are records of the injections.

(Injection marks)

(Prescription Record)

(Injection marks)

Those were injectable with his left hand.

Your brother.

Type of death.

Suicide.

As the lead prosecutor on the 10-year-old case,

that is my conclusion.

(Injection marks)

It's all my fault.

Prosecutors are human too.

We make mistakes.

No, sir.

I'll take responsibility.

And do what?

Will you really resign?

If we resigned over one mistake,

how many of us do you think would still be here?

You're supposed to take this office after me.

Let's say I didn't hear this.

No, sir. I have...

no right...

to prosecute.

The injection marks...

on my brother's right hand. Did you find them?

What?

Did you think I wouldn't recognize a photo of my best friend?

Mr. Seo.

I was going to see him that day.

I'm Seo Jeong Min from the Prosecutor's Office.

Do you know what day it is today?

It's Han So Hee's birthday.

He wanted to tell me something about So Hee,

so we arranged to meet at the orphanage they were from.

He didn't show up.

He had met So Hee at the orphanage.

She was like a mom to him.

He never lived far from the orphanage.

Does Mr. Seo's grudge...

against Lee Hye Seong have something to do with me?

It's 10 years old. It was hard to find.

He got something on her.

He threatened her with it to get the security footage...

of outside the drug cabinet...

on the day my brother died.

He thought it was decisive evidence that...

you had killed my brother.

We found this when we searched your place.

If you'd killed my brother,

you wouldn't have kept it for so long.

Why did you steal the drugs?

I regained consciousness a week after the car accident.

That's when I realized So Hee was dead.

I wasn't in my right mind.

What have you done?

Why are you the only one back?

- Let go of me. - Where's So Hee?

How... How could you...

I'm pregnant.

It's Kang Yong's baby.

It had to be you, didn't it?

You selfish jerk. So...

So you killed her?

Tell me. Is that why you killed her?

Yes.

It's all my fault.

I should've stopped her.

I should've stopped her from the start.

I got too greedy.

So I...

There's no point, Yong. It's over.

Her fetus.

It was a girl.

You don't know anything.

That was the last I saw of him.

Then...

what were these?

(Succinylcholine, sodium pentothal)

It was for myself.

I couldn't do it.

I turned into a coward.

That's it.

Now I get it.

It took me 10 years...

to find out the truth.

(Partners for Justice)

(Ligature Marks: Marks left by tying)

Dad!

Goodness, again? This is driving me crazy.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad. Dad?

Gosh, no way.

(June 18, 3:04am, discovery of Yeom Sang Goo's death)

(Yeom Dae Sik, Yeom Sang Goo's second son)

Gosh, why isn't he answering?

(Dae Sik)

Hey, come on. Answer the phone.

(Yeom Dae Chul, Yeom Sang Goo's first son)

You answer it. You know I worked until late today.

I just came back from my shift at the restaurant.

Gosh, why is this brat calling me in the middle of the night?

- Hello? - Dae Chul.

Wake up. Dad passed away.

What?

- What did you say? - Dad is dead!

There's something you don't know.

Director, you're here.

Was there anyone who came for a visit?

No, no one came to visit the patient.

Right. A while ago, a prosecutor visited.

A prosecutor?

About what happened 10 years ago,

that wasn't the whole story.
