(Characters and incidents used in this drama are fictitious.)

Kim Joon Tae, 22.

Yeon Mi Rae's boyfriend of three months.

- There's the demon's face. - Kim Joon Tae!

Darn it. I think he already skipped town.

I think he's leaving Korea by ferry, not plane.

- What? - I found a photo of a port.

Gungpyeong Port?

(Episode 11)

- Hwarang 17 is right there. - Okay.

Stay here for a second.

Let's spread out to look for him.

You should've gone to the airport.

Why did you come here?

I'm sorry.

But I'm not as bad as you think.

Are you all right?

You scumbag!

Let go of me!

- The police are on their way now. - Okay. Mr. Kang.

- What is he doing? - Darn it. Come on, move it.

Hey, you!

Are you all right?

- Darn it. - My gosh.

You're done for.

Let's make this easy.

Come here. Come.

I let my guard down. That's all.

I let my guard down.

Hey, don't you even watch movies?

In the movies, they let criminals throw a few punches.

Starting now, everything I do will be self-defense.

You scumbag. Let me just punch you once.

Just one punch.

My gosh, that hurts.

You don't even have respect for your elders.

You little rat. That's why you beat up fragile women.

You little brat. You only learned how to be awful. You dirtbag!

Hey, hey. Hold on.

Hey, cut it out!

My gosh, that jerk.

Hey, I'm...

I'm in front of the cold storage.

Hey, hey, hey!

You're going to hurt yourself.

Seriously? There are no elevators here.

Hey! Stop right there.

Hey, hey, hey!

You're a piece of work, aren't you?

Hey, hey! Seriously. That little brat.

My gosh, that's steep. Goodness. My gosh.

I see him. Right there!

- Run, run! - To the harbor.

That's enough. See? You have nowhere to run now.

Come here. Come here!

- Let me go! - You jerk.

You scumbag.

My gosh, that was tough!

You little rat. It's over now. It's over.

Hey, he's right here! Take him away. I collared him!

- He's my collar. Hurry up. - This is...

Come on, go easy on me.

That hurts.

- Thank you. - It stings even more. Why is that?

This hurts so much. Prosecutor Eun, are you all right?

- Yes. Are you all right? - No, I'm not fine.

What's wrong with this?

Hey, Hyun.

I'm sorry.

- I came too late, didn't I? - No.

- He showed up like a comet. - Hey.

Good job.

Weren't you scared?

You inkling was critical in apprehending the suspect.

I have newfound respect for you.

Are you complimenting me now?

- Let's go to the hospital... - No.

My job hasn't finished yet. Let's go back to the office.

- Sol, come on. - Hyun.

Do you know the term, "safe breakup?"

It's a sad, new word which means breakups need to be safe.

Yeon Mi Rae...

She couldn't get any help.

She desperately wanted to escape from his abuse.

She only escaped it through death.

I want to take this to the end.

I really think I should.

- Why does this sting so much? - Yes, it stings a bit.

Goodness. Darn it.

What are you going to do now?

- Let's go. - Yes.

I never even thought of that.

Maggots.

I could've completely fooled you all.

To be honest,

I was amazed.

You just have to know the pattern.

The pattern?

Cha Soo Ho has...

a very specific pattern of behavior.

He drinks on his day off...

and always gets the same beer at the same convenience store.

You just need to follow him around for a few days to find his pattern.

Police officers always work in three shifts,

so they always have a specific day off.

Then you took the evidence...

and took it to Lieutenant Cha's place on the right day.

Investigators always go after...

the smallest evidence and DNAs, right?

I kept it around for you.

First off,

I erased the evidence that lead to me.

Then the first lead needed to be...

something very obvious.

Here you go. Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

Then create a decisive proof...

so that he cannot deny the charges.

Where is...

the other pair?

The blood found on the steering wheel was Yeon's...

and so was the blood found on the towel left in the driver's seat.

And the towel was the same sort as the one from the victim's house.

Then I made a report in case you might've missed him.

I even changed my voice.

It seems like they used a voice changing device.

The sound is a bit messy.

Yesterday at dawn, I saw a man...

coming from that corner, wearing just one shoe.

Why did you kill her?

Because I loved her.

What?

Darn you.

Mi Rae.

Did you sleep with that cop?

You did. Didn't you?

Mi Rae.

Mi Rae.

I love you.

I really love you!

Darn it.

Darn you. Are you scared of me?

Then what do you like so much about him?

I can't live without you.

I love you.

And Mi Rae...

loves me too.

She went a bit crazy because of Cha Soo Ho.

But she didn't realize that and asked me to break up with her.

I...

still love Mi Rae.

That's why I killed her.

No.

I didn't do this.

Mi Rae. Why did you do it?

It's all because of you.

I didn't do this.

It's because of him.

This happened because he got between us.

So this is all because of him.

I didn't do this. It's all because of him.

It's all that jerk's doing.

Mi Rae can't leave me anymore.

She can't ask me to break up with her.

What did you say?

I should've killed you.

- What? - You should thank me.

You're only alive thanks to me. I could've killed you.

You should be punished for stealing someone else's girlfriend.

Don't you think so?

I didn't do anything wrong.

You're the one who flirted with a girl who had a boyfriend!

So you're the one who killed her!

- Get a hold of yourself! - You.

You.

You're just a kid.

You're just a kid...

who's frightened...

to get abandoned.

She was concerned and asked me...

if you could join the police academy with a criminal record.

Mi Rae did that.

She even lied to me that she was asking for a friend.

I'm actually asking for my friend.

Her boyfriend is...

beating her.

But if she reports him,

that will turn him into an ex-convict.

I heard he's studying to get into the police academy,

so that can't be good for him.

If he beats women, don't cut him any slack.

She loves...

She loves him.

Tell her that...

she shouldn't go down that path.

It's not good to just hold back...

for both of their sakes. Okay?

Stop crying. Come on.

Here.

Do you now understand what you have done?

Don't try to teach me!

What do you know?

Up until then, she said she loved you.

So you are the one...

who broke her heart.

- You poor kid. - What kind of nonsense is this?

You.

Mi Rae...

Mi Rae told me...

Mi Rae...

Mi Rae...

Mi Rae... Mi Rae...

Mi Rae, I'm so sorry...

- It hasn't been that long. - Yes?

It's about time Prosecutor Eun came.

- Look who this is! - Mi Ho!

- Dong Sik! - Hey.

Goodness, you're gross.

Dong Sik, I love you.

You're hurting my ribs. This hurts.

People at the National Forensic Service did a lot for you too.

Both Dr. Baek and Dr. Hwang of Toxic Substances Division.

- Yes, I'm going to stop by. - Yes, you should go over.

They've done a lot for you.

All we did was stay up all night working,

getting nosebleeds, getting scraped, hurt, and...

- Is that true? - This hurts.

My ribs are broken.

Goodness, stop showing it off. Is that so, Dong Sik the baby?

- Stop it. - Good boy, Dong Sik.

Goodness, kid.

- Thank you. - Don't mention it.

It's always the best idea not to touch a tiger...

or Dr. Baek when they're asleep.

Thank you.

Isn't she here?

This is Jang Seong Joo. Yes.

- Please excuse me. - Sure.

Hey, stop.

This is... Goodness.

- What are you doing? - This...

Who are you to come in and smash things?

I'm Cha Soo Ho from Violent Crimes at Gangdong Police Station.

I'm looking for Dr. Hwang from the Toxic Substances Division.

- Oh, Dr. Hwang? - Yes, Hwang, Hwang.

- Will you wait? - Sure.

[VIU Ver] MBC E11 Partners for Justice "First Case" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Dr. Hwang.

You met already.

- What? - Ciao. I'm Stella Hwang.

Stella Hwang. Hwang? Hwang?

Oh, that Hwang?

You cleared my name.

Thank you, Dr. Hwang.

- Just call me Stella. - Just Stella?

Okay. That's nice. Stella. Stella...

So, Stella. When we repay someone...

In Korea, I have to buy you a meal.

I know a famous restaurant.

Meat. Let's eat meat.

You grew up in the US.

How is your Korean so fluent?

The meat here just got out of rigor mortis,

- so it's super delicious. - What?

Rigor mortis?

It's too tough right after slaughter.

But if it's too ripe, it starts to decompose.

Beef ribs are perfect when the temperature and time are right.

- During an autopsy... - Autopsy?

No, it's okay.

You're just being thorough at what you do.

Ripening and decomposition straddle a very thin line.

Got it?

That's why the meat here is so good.

With nice marbling.

The ideal ratio for fat to muscle is 2 to 8.

Fat to muscle.

The best ratio for hair parting is 2 to 8 as well.

2 to 8, the speed of decomposition in a buried corpse and drowned one.

That's the formula.

Okay. Thanks.

Nice rigidity and decom... No, not that.

Nicely matured and marbled.

You're the best.

Meat requires alcohol.

- How about a drink? - I'd love a drink.

Hold it for me.

Sure.

Thank you.

2 to 8 gives you a drink that's 7.2 percent alcohol.

There's a golden ratio to boilermakers too.

Golden ratio. Drop the bomb.

Right. Drop the bomb.

Soju with beer always tastes the same.

I like things to be exact.

- Cheers. - Thanks.

Cheers.

It's complete gold. Gold, gold.

24K.

Gold, 24K...

Do you want to...

- sleep with me? - I'd love that.

No, no, what? What was that? What?

What did you say to me?

Yes?

Deputy chief.

Mi Ho, what is it?

Are you free this evening?

I have something urgent to deal with.

I see.

Then we'll go to Eun Sol's housewarming without you.

Mi Ho?

Are we leaving right now?

- Yes. - Okay.

- Wait. - Come along.

- The weather's great too. - Right.

Prosecutor Eun has such expensive and grand taste.

I'm not of that caliber.

She had great taste even in university.

She's rich, isn't she? I can tell her family's loaded.

- Let's see her grand flat. - Is this it?

Okay, let's hurry.

- We're here. - We must be quiet here.

- This is it. - It's here.

Who is it?

Who's that?

- Who's... - Oh my!

- You three? - Wait.

- Why are you here? - What's going on?

What are you doing here? What? Why? How?

- Let's talk inside. Move. - You aren't coming in.

What kind of amazing, hallelujah situation is this?

Oh, my gosh, unbelievable. Chest hair.

- Move. - Wait!

This is why you can never tell what one is like. Move!

- You can't come in. - Prosecutor Eun! Prosecutor Eun!

What are you doing there?

- I live here. - Move it.

You... Neighbors?

Why are we moving so fast?

I'm ready. Come in.

Come... Come in? Come in?

Yeah... Okay, let's go.

Stella?

Hwang?

Sign that.

(Intercourse Contract)

"This contract covers consensual and reasonable sexual..."

"No photos, audio, or video recordings."

"Both parties will use contraception."

"If due to a natural disaster a pregnancy occurs,"

"both parties will share responsibilities."

Why would you state the obvious?

I like things to be exact.

"This contract is valid for one event."

"To extend, a written agreement..."

"After termination of contract, do not force regular contact."

Does this mean...

this is just a one-night thing?

A one-night stand?

- Maybe. - Maybe?

I refuse. A one-night stand?

I'm not that kind of guy.

I'm disappointed in you.

She'll come after me.

1, 2, 3.

Let's call it quits then. Bye.

Wait, Stella. Dr. Hwang.

What was that about?

This place...

Welcome to the place I moved into with almost nothing to my name.

I call it Crazy Sol's place.

Thank you, but you know...

It's like there's... There's nothing here.

Kind of, yes.

Minimal life is all the rage. It's not bad.

It's okay. I only come in to sleep.

What do you mean?

You must leave work on time, cook,

and have a life of your own that isn't so bare.

I won't ask you to work overtime with me.

That's not what I meant. You got me very wrong.

- It's not that. - It's fine.

I have nothing to serve you. Shall we go out?

My treat.

Why do you live next door to Dr. Psycho?

I want to rinse out my eyes. Did you three see his chest hair?

Did you see what looked like wisps of seaweed?

I feel sick.

I don't want to think about that. I touched it to push him in.

- What for? - With my hand.

It was a coincidence. I moved in...

and realized he lived next door.

He got so ferocious just because we rang the wrong doorbell.

Do you think he keeps people's heads in his fridge or something?

He might have a body in there.

All that aside, what if there's a ghost?

All he does is autopsies.

My gosh, you're scaring me. Let's drop that subject.

But I do believe that spirits might stay at a corner of his house...

- and walk around his house. - That's right.

I mean, you must agree that his job isn't normal, you know?

We only share the hallway and the elevator.

He won't share his ghosts with me. Don't worry.

You're right.

Deputy Chief Kang, are you all right?

Yes. I was thinking about something else for a second.

- Here's your chicken. - Thank you.

Please excuse me. I must get home early today.

I have a woman waiting at home.

- Did the designated driver arrive? - Yes, the driver is already here.

- Drop me off on your way home. - Okay.

- Are you leaving now? - We're leaving.

- I'm sorry. - Wait...

Get home safely.

Are you okay?

What? What do you mean?

Living at a place like that alone.

Our family went broke.

What?

It was a joke. A joke.

I moved out all on my own.

I had exactly 10,000 dollars in my account.

Isn't that ridiculous?

So what if I drove a nice car? It wasn't mine to begin with.

You really have gumption.

Just live there for a while,

and go back to your house.

No.

From now on, I really want to live on my own.

I don't like that you're living next to Dr. Baek.

You're still...

just a criminal.

Your novel's still boring after all this time.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop,

but what's between...

Dr. Baek and you?

"You'll remember your first case for the rest of your career."

- Remember that? - Yes.

And, "Everyone fails to do well on their first case."

The defendant of my first case was...

Baek Beom.

A car accident.

It was intentional.

He was in the driver's seat, and his fiancee who had...

a change of heart was in the passenger seat.

Even after he saw the obstruction on the road ahead of him,

he didn't avoid it.

And most of its damage...

went to the passenger seat.

Let's start.

Why didn't you steer away from it that night?

You crashed into it on purpose.

You wanted to kill your fiancee who had changed her mind about you.

- No. - You found out it wasn't your baby.

That's why you lost your mind and wanted to kill her!
