Original subtitles

(Episode 2)

It was an assault, right?

37 hypodermal bleedings, 7 fractures, and 23 abrasions.

Do you think we perform autopsies to count numbers?

Then did you find out anything else?

She had a prosthetic valve surgery. The capsules need to be looked at.

- And the embryo... - Embryo?

She was pregnant?

He beat his pregnant wife that much?

This guy deserves to fry in a pot of poop to death.

Prosecutor Eun, a pot of poop? Fry?

Anyway, thank you for the autopsy result.

I can take in the husband thanks to this.

What if he didn't do it?

They fought all the time.

The fight was the worst on that day. So when he saw that his wife died...

after he beat her with a golf club, he ran away to a hotel.

Sounds like a novel.

You just saw her. Dead bodies never lie.

Who says that dead bodies never lie?

Once a body decomposes, wounds disappear, and random scars appear.

When they fall, their wounds get all distorted.

- Many dead bodies that lie. - Goodness.

If a medical examiner says that, whom can we trust in this world?

Don't trust anyone. Not even the dead.

Is this a land of distrust?

- Get behind her. - What? Why?

Why? I...

Prosecutor Eun.

My goodness. Have a seat.

Hold this.

She has psychogenic hypotension.

It's her first time observing an autopsy.

Are you all right?

- You fainted. - What?

Goodness.

Write a novel.

Nonsense.

Are you okay?

My gosh.

Why did you throw up at that moment?

Darn it, I made an embarrassment of myself in front of Psycho.

Okay, get a hold of yourself.

Get a hold of yourself, Sol.

Sol, I mean, Prosecutor Eun.

Prosecutor Eun Sol.

You're a prosecutor of the Republic of Korea.

You've been waiting for this moment.

You can do this. Let's go.

Hello.

Why don't you take a look?

These are pictures from your wife's autopsy.

Don't they look awful?

I refuse to answer as per article 244...

- of the code of criminal procedure. - Pardon?

Article 244, clause 3-1 of the code of criminal procedure.

The accused or the suspect may...

The right to remain silent? Goodness.

Really? The right to remain silent?

I refuse to answer as per article 244...

You killed your wife, didn't you?

I refuse to say as per article 244 of the code of criminal procedure.

The autopsy proved everything.

She had over 50 wounds.

Who knows? She might have hurt herself.

Ms. Kwon had undergone psychotherapy for a very long time.

Psychotherapy?

- Oh, man. - Oh, man.

She was doing so well. Why did she let him get to her?

Going through psychotherapy is what they always bring up.

She showed those pros that she's a rookie.

- When will we ever bring her up? - Exactly.

That scumbag. I bet I can beat him up so easily.

Darn it.

Did you ever...

- love your wife? - Love?

This is driving me crazy.

Hey.

Let's eat something. I'm getting hungry.

- Pardon? - Coffee.

- Do you have instant coffee? - Espresso.

I'll go out and get some.

Where's your seven iron? That was the only one missing.

You beat her with that, right?

Her back and shoulders.

A V-shaped wound with a circular bruise.

The angle of this wound has to be the seven iron.

Are you the type that needs a good grip to beat someone up?

Prosecutor Eun.

We're busy men.

How long will you detain him without any evidence?

My gut is telling me...

that you are the murderer. And your eyes give it away too.

Goodness, you are making me laugh very much today.

Is it because you're a newcomer? You sound so naive.

Do you want to take a look at this?

This is pretty interesting.

It's a footage of my client leaving home on that night.

- Yes, you're right. - According to your presumption,

that's right after he left her to die...

I mean, he walked out right after he beat her to death.

Then who do you think this is?

How did the dead woman...

walk him out to the door?

Where's my coffee?

My gosh, this is over.

- Let's get ready to see him off. - Does he really get to walk out?

Obviously.

No allegation, not enough evidence.

It means the end. It's finished. It's all over!

I'm going to hold him in custody and indict him.

Please prepare the paperwork.

- What? - What?

Why?

Have you never seen a suspect that lies?

- But... - But he has an alibi...

Some can get beaten up today and die tomorrow.

That's barely an alibi.

Hey, do you think we'll get in trouble?

Is this real?

She's going to hold him in custody and indict him even with the alibi?

Hey, I need to go. Darn it. My stomach hurts.

- Goodness. - I guess it's real.

Mr. Kang's irritable bowel syndrome broke out again.

That's disgusting.

What are you looking at?

You're going to detain him?

Is this necessary?

The husband is the murderer. I had that gut feeling.

- What are you saying? - Gut feeling?

Prosecutor Eun, we need evidence, not your gut feeling.

If we decide to detain him,

that only puts us in a tight situation.

- Are you confident? - Do you think I can't do this?

Fine.

You probably won't care about what this old man has to say...

because he's leaving soon anyway.

Prosecutor Eun. Why do you think I let you take this case?

You must be able to differentiate...

your desires and the reality.

Only then will you become a prosecutor.

Our deputy chief...

really wanted that case.

Okay?

(Reception Room)

- Next, Lawyer Kim Dong Jae. - Yes.

- Is this some kind of relay? - It's like a bank.

Are you bored?

Shall we swap?

Yes.

To a woman.

Lawyer Han.

You first.

(Reception Room)

I don't know.

They were a sweet couple.

Someone reported them fighting early in the morning.

I don't know what happens after I leave.

Come on, lady.

Ma'am, if you don't cooperate...

That's enough.

She won't say anything.

We have him on security cameras checking into the hotel at 3:30am.

We also have them leaving together in the morning.

It looks tough.

What about the neighbors?

Influential people live there, and it's no joke.

They heard and saw nothing.

They kept their mouths shut.

They don't want to be involved.

That's unfair.

Kwon Hee Kyung.

Did you have no friends to talk to?

It's okay. There must be something. We'll find it, won't we?

- Of course. - We must.

It's not at all like US dramas.

Has she gone crazy?

Will a witness suddenly come forward?

- Not at all. - That never happens.

It never does.

Did she just say, "US dramas"?

She did.

What now?

(Stella Hwang)

[VIU Ver] MBC E02 "Who Says That Dead Bodies Never Lie?" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Got anything?

Die-hard coffee. Want it?

Is this poison?

Fluoxetine, zolpidem,

acetaminophen, ibuprofen, paroxetine, diazepam,

propranolol, fluconazole.

- A typical drug cocktail. - Any anticoagulants?

Warfarin, of course.

People with a prosthetic valve have to take it forever.

But the real hero of this case is...

Right here.

Amazing, right?

Fantastic.

(Autopsy Report)

(Autopsy Report)

This is just killing me.

She went where she shouldn't have and stepped in poop.

Right.

Shall we take some caffeine and sugar and keep going?

What? Is something wrong?

My goodness.

About Kwon Hee Kyung, the victim...

The National Forensic Service sent the autopsy report.

(Possible accidental death)

Accidental death?

Accidental death?

The autopsy report is out.

An accidental death caused by drug addiction.

She took what she shouldn't have.

- It's game over. - And the newbie prosecutor?

She detained you for no good reason.

We can sue for defamation and demand compensation.

We'll put pressure on all sides.

That's not what I meant.

She'll have to quit and will never get to practice law again.

(National Forensic Service)

Darn it.

Get out.

Dr. Baek.

- I'm here about Kwon Hee Kyung. - You got the report.

How much?

How much does it take to turn a murder into an accidental death?

This is why prosecutors are deemed useless.

It wasn't an accidental death.

Write your novel alone at home.

- Why did you lie? - About what?

The Santa Monica high heel case. It never existed.

You believed what I said?

What?

I was told to lie down to talk to you, but it's cold.

Get out.

It wasn't accidental.

You saw the wounds, bruises, and fractures.

They're not involved with direct cause of death.

How can you say that so easily?

If a medical examiner doesn't think from the victims' perspective,

would they be able to die in peace?

This drug, fluconazole. It's for athlete's foot.

That drug must never be taken along with her anticoagulant.

A typical drug cocktail.

The real hero of this case is...

(Fluconazole and warfarin)

When taken together, they form a poison.

(Do not ingest together)

I'd believe it...

if you said you took a bribe to change the facts.

Did dealing with stiff corpses make you void of emotions?

They aren't stiff. Rigor mortis dissipates after time.

- Did dealing with cold corpses... - They aren't cold.

At 40℃, they're warmer if hundreds of maggots squirm inside.

I see why you only deal with the dead.

Do you think showing off makes you sound professional?

Is it professional to cry and throw up in an autopsy room?

No one cried for the dead woman. Don't you feel sorry for her?

Be her friend then, not a prosecutor.

You speak so easily. That's why you wrote your report so easily.

You psychotic...

Do you think your name makes you a tiger from Mount Baekdu?

You're just a psychotic tiger. Psycho.

What about you?

Did you look at her properly?

Did you?

Kwon Hee Kyung doesn't have athlete's feet.

Is that so? Then why did she take medicine for that?

Exactly.

- Hey. - What?

- You can do this, right? - Don't you worry about a thing.

A prosecutor shouldn't be...

involved in something shady like this.

- But will this shady trick work? - We are all housekeepers.

There's this bond of sisterhood. Just trust me on this.

Excuse me. Hello.

Do you remember me?

Why are you here again? I don't know anything.

There's no one...

who would testify for Kwon Hee Kyung.

Didn't you witness the fight between them?

I can't.

If I testify, I will never get a job in this neighborhood.

Stop bothering me.

I don't know what happens after I leave.

Come on, don't be like that.

The college graduation.

You even went to her college graduation.

You treated her as your daughter.

Didn't she bring you here when she got married to him?

She suffered a painful death,

but you couldn't even mourn for her...

because you were scared of what others might think, right?

Poor thing...

I want to...

make things right for her.

(Mouthwash)

(Ox bezoar relaxing pill)

Prosecutor Eun, why don't we go now?

Right. Let's go. Okay.

I'm so glad you're here.

Are you sure about this?

I'm going to...

quit my job there.

That house...

is an inhumane place.

Thank you.

(Court)

Is that silk?

It makes your skin look darker. The color doesn't suit you.

If you give up now,

I will at least let you save face.

(Defense Counsel)

(Prosecution)

Are you the housekeeper...

at the defendant and the victim's house?

Yes, I am.

Please tell us what you've witnessed throughout your time there.

He had beaten her endlessly.

Her bones were fractured.

Her face was all bruised.

Even when she peed on the floor, he dragged her around...

and kept beating her.

And who was the assailant?

It... It was...

It was him who's no better than a beast.

Let me present you Exhibit 18.

This face is the result of his assault.

- That's too cruel. - How could he do that?

She had 37 contusions, 7 bone fractures,

and 27 abrasions and scratches.

The victim's body shows she was suffering in pain.

On top of that,

she was carrying...

an embryo of eight weeks.

(Judge)

That'll be all.

I request a new witness.

I was not informed in advance regarding a new witness.

This witness is critical to this trial.

Who is the witness?

He performed the autopsy at the National Forensic Service.

He's Medical Examiner Baek Beom.

- What? - Baek Beom?

If he's present, you may question the witness.

My gosh.

"I solemnly swear..."

"I'll tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

"If I commit perjury,"

"I swear that I will face the punishment."

(Witness)

I'll get to the point.

Are the victim's death and the assault the prosecutor claims...

relevant?

No.

The cause of death was not assault.

(Partners for Justice)

It would've been better if you hadn't shown up.

This case is over.

- Are you destroying evidence? - I must clean up what's dirty.

How dare you legally threaten an active prosecutor?

- Don't hide. - What do you think it is?

- You found the dying message. - This is the last time.

Didn't you make this to murder your wife?

I should keep an eye on her...

to see how far she will go.

I request Medical Examiner Baek Beom...

of NFS as witness.
