Okay. Now, lift.

My brother died three years ago.

But his so-called wife suddenly showed up with a newborn...

Deuk Nam had frozen his sperm before he died.

I used Deuk Nam's sperm and had his baby.

She found out our dad left his inheritance to his grandson.

Get the DNA, and close it back up.

A depressed fracture.

He needs an autopsy.

- Where did Deuk Nam go? - Where is he?

Let's write an autopsy warrant.

- Pardon? - I...

- stole a body. - What?

This jerk...

Ms. Eun. Well...

What do you do on the weekends?

I'm so sorry,

but something urgent came up.

- I must leave now. - Wait. Excuse me.

I'm Hyun Min's mother.

I see. Hello.

- For how long were you there? - Mom.

My gosh, be quiet.

Let me be blunt with you.

I like you very much.

Sorry?

You're a prosecutor, so I know that you're smart.

You're quite pretty.

Marry my son, quit your job,

and focus on raising his children and taking care of him.

- Pardon? - People respect you...

because you're a prosecutor now.

But you know that doctors, attorneys, and prosecutors...

aren't that popular among residents in Gangnam now, right?

I'm certain that you've often heard that having a rich grandfather...

is the best.

- Right now, I'm not... - I don't know how to bring this up.

Here's three million dollars.

Because we want our grandchild to be smart,

we're willing to present you with a handsome offer.

This is all your luck.

Excuse me.

With all due respect,

may I say something?

This is my 99th blind date.

Since I've been on many dates, I became a good judge of character.

Your son has very low self-esteem right now.

I presume his rich grandfather didn't know...

the importance of taking initiatives.

Forget about his marriage.

You two should have a good talk about...

how he should live his life.

What?

And the kid's IQ...

doesn't depend on the mother alone.

Please excuse me.

Goodness.

- We're here. - Let's go.

- Come on. - Where?

- It's over here. - Let's go.

What? The ladies are here.

Open the door. Hurry!

- Stop right there! - Goodness.

Stop them.

- Get away. - Move!

- Move aside. - Calm down.

- Goodness! - Stop him!

(Partners for Justice)

(Casper's Law: The speed of decomposition is...)

(1 to 2 to 8 for air, water, soil.)

- Hurry up and punch it in. - Punch in your passcode again.

- Hurry up! - Hurry!

- Punch in your passcode again. - Goodness.

I think he locked it from the inside.

- Give my brother back. - Do you want to die?

Isn't this supposed to be a state institution?

I am not going to let this pass. Open the door!

I'm going to sue you all!

You'll all get fired. Get it?

Go get the master key.

- Run along. - Yes, sir.

Unbelievable.

(National Forensic Service)

Do it.

- Hurry. - Open it.

Open it.

Hurry up and open it.

Hurry up. Why are you standing around?

One second.

Goodness, who are you?

- Prosecutor Eun? - Yes.

- Have you been well? - I'm so glad you're here.

There's a huge problem here.

They took away my brother's body to conduct an autopsy.

I came to talk to you about that.

One second.

I'm sorry. My bag was too tiny.

- What is that? - It's a bit wrinkled.

It's a warrant for an autopsy.

- A warrant? - What is this about?

- Why are you doing this? - First off, please calm down.

This is a necessary procedure for your deceased brother too.

This is completely absurd! He's my brother. You can't do this!

Excuse me. Sorry.

(A Warrant for Search, Seizure, and Examination)

We are a state institution.

We are obligated to investigate...

the cause of his death for the safety of our people.

We will find out his cause of death through an autopsy.

Prosecutor Eun!

Hello.

Listen to me.

It's been three years since he died.

Why do you want to know the cause of his death now?

The statute of limitations hasn't expired yet.

And I thought you three would want to know more than us.

If you keep doing this,

you may all get punished according to...

Article 163 of the Criminal Code.

Yes.

You will be imprisoned up to five years...

or pay a fine of 10,000 dollars or less.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me for not introducing myself.

I'm Prosecutor Eun Sol of Seoul Eastern District Office.

I heard this was urgent, so I came myself.

I'm Park Joong Ho, the director. Thank you.

May I go in and tell him what's going on?

- Go ahead. - Okay.

Get out!

Dr. Psycho.

- Does she have the warrant? - Yes, I checked it.

- Get ready. - Yes, sir.

I guess all that you can see is the warrant and not me.

Look at this. I got 28 missed calls.

It's like you're looking for your crush who went off the grid.

Why did I come...

Let's get started.

Prosecutor Eun. Will you wait in the other room?

Yes, I should.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

A body decomposes to go back to nature.

Do you think you won't decompose?

Everyone's the same when they're dead. They all smell.

Darn it. World peace should've been achieved by now.

Are you wearing perfume?

Yes. I had an important meeting today.

Get out of here.

Potassium has a very unique smell.

The smell is important when it comes to pesticides and hydrogen sulfide.

And your perfume...

But still, it's already been three years.

Do you think he's a joke because he's decomposed?

Should I do the autopsy like that on you three years after you're dead?

Get out of my autopsy room.

Goodness.

Prosecutor Eun. I didn't know you were that harsh.

How can you betray us like this?

Why are you so against it?

I mean, you shouldn't cut him open after he's been through so much...

after many operations.

Just the thought of the autopsy appalls me.

Goodness, that poor thing.

Choi Hwa Ja made you do this, didn't she?

If you're a prosecutor, you should be on our side.

You can't let that woman play around with you!

I only see their emotions,

and no sincerity.

Don't you smell something?

- Smell? Like what? - What smell?

Goodness, my clothes smell awful from that short stay in the room.

Smell it. Isn't it awful?

- That is disgusting! - What's with you?

You said you didn't want the knife to touch your brother,

yet you despise the smell.

The medical examiner over there went in and smelled him...

to find out the cause of his death.

- Well... - It's...

All right, now.

This isn't just a simple fraud case. Do you understand?

We'll give you a call very soon.

Make sure you come back for the questioning, okay?

Darn it.

Most of his internal organs are gone.

Internal organs are mostly gone.

(Internal organs are mostly gone.)

- Femur, 46.19cm. - 46.19cm.

Skull dent, 15cm big.

15cm.

I thought he died at the hospital. That's odd. The dent is huge.

- Bring the 3D scanner. - Okay.

It's ready.

Scanning.

Darn it, that psycho did this behind our backs.

If this goes wrong, I'll end up getting punished.

Prosecutor Eun.

Hey. Get a hold of yourself.

Don't worry about it. The warrant got here first.

Can't a prosecutor dress up?

Of course, you can. You look lovely.

You might get a dent in your skull too.

Get a hold of yourself, and let's get to work.

Dr. Baek. I made it clear that we should hand the body over.

- How will this make me look? - Forget it.

You saw the skull fracture.

We can't leave out the possibility of murder.

Wasn't it strange that his sisters objected to the autopsy?

Yes, and an inheritance is involved.

You're writing a novel again.

If they'd killed him, they'd have cremated him.

You believed everyone, and now, you suspect everyone.

They're fighting each other over money. They're suspects.

And they handed over the body?

A funeral home came for the body we just autopsied.

- It's ours. - Why? You're done with the autopsy.

We sometimes fail...

to get a DNA sample from decomposing bodies.

Please try to understand.

Prosecutor Eun, give me another warrant.

A legal one.

Until the case is closed,

I'll have the evidence protected.

(Humans are flowers.)

(Treat them gently.)

"I return to the skies."

"With the dew that vanishes at dawn,"

- That's... - "I return hand-in-hand."

It's a memorial service.

- What? - Go and watch.

"I return to the skies."

"I will play with the sunset..."

"below a mountain until the clouds beckon."

"I return to the skies."

"The day my beautiful picnic on earth ends,"

"I'll return..."

- What's going on? - "And say it was beautiful."

It's a memorial service.

Last year, nationwide, the National Forensic Service...

autopsied 8,762 bodies.

We're commemorating them. We do this every year.

I saw this before, but I didn't know exactly what it was.

Director Park Joong Ho...

read Chon Sang Pyong's poem,

"Return to the Skies".

Now, we will play some music as we say...

a silent prayer for the dead.

Everyone,

please pray.

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E05 Partners for Justice "Casper’s Law" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Attention.

- I thought you'd skip this. - You'd get upset if I did.

I could've fired you today.

Do as you want.

I'll work at a rural university hospital.

I never saw a family object.

A long time ago, a thug barged into the autopsy room.

I risked my life that day.

You never stole a body though.

You can't be beaten.

I'm a good judge of character, aren't I?

Aren't you sick of playing hide and seek?

Your father is...

very concerned.

Your hand is fine.

- Will you quit performing surgery? - I can't operate anymore.

Then what about on people who are already dead?

The benefits won't be as good,

but why waste your talent?

I can't save anyone anymore.

A doctor doesn't just save people.

I'm heading to Seoul first.

Right.

That book isn't for you.

You'd better return it.

(Forensic Medicine)

How's your hand?

It's holding.

Last year,

how many autopsies did you do? More than anyone else, right?

I did over 700, I think?

Don't just focus on bodies.

Look at the living too.

That is life.

You do go home, don't you?

I go home, come to work, eat, and poop. I do everything.

And meet people?

Stop being mopey, and meet people yourself.

Are we done?

Report first if you must steal another body.

I thought a memorial service would be very solemn.

It's not.

"Humans are flowers."

"Treat them gently."

All the people we autopsied...

once bloomed in life like a flower.

A doctor who deals with the dead must never forget that.

What's wrong with you?

Isn't it shocking? Did you hear?

Yes. I'm so shocked that I'm lost for words.

I know.

Should I have been harsher so that they'd create no more victims?

Victims? Like who?

- Me. - Do you know how I arranged that?

You should just stop.

It's not good for your mental health.

What did you dislike so much about him?

She offered me three million to marry her son.

Does that make sense? It's just absurd.

What did she take me for?

Come and sit down.

- What for? - Sit down.

You have to do it.

- Do what? - It's a decent arrangement.

He's from a good family, and I barely persuaded them.

You persuaded...

Mom.

You knew?

Three million dollars isn't a small amount.

Mom.

Whether it's 3 million or 30 million, it's wrong.

- Are you that special? - What?

I raised you in an affluent setting, so now, you must grow up.

How long will you do what you want?

Mom, I became a prosecutor a month ago.

- I'll do what I want... - And then what?

Will you buy us some underwear with your salary?

Forget about it,

and marry into the right family.

Repay us that way.

Mom, what are you talking about?

We gave you a good life.

Can't you help out now?

If you act like this, your brother will suffer.

Are you trying to challenge us?

Your dad won't split his company,

and he has no reason to give you a job.

Must I tell you that?

Did I ask for the company?

Then why are you acting like this? What's the problem?

You're the problem!

I'm just about to live my own life.

Your life? Who gave it to you?

Why are you doing this to me?

This deal is settled.

I'll set up another meeting, so make it work, okay?

I'm Prosecutor Eun Sol.

I'm Eun Sol, a prosecutor.

Prosecutor Eun Sol. Prosecutor Eun.

I passed the bar with great marks,

was top of the class in training,

and I volunteered to work in Violent Crimes.

I'm Prosecutor Eun Sol!

I must concentrate.

Focus.

Choi Hwa Ja, the defendant,

maintains the baby was conceived with sperm that...

Jang Deuk Nam had frozen before his death three years ago.

If the baby is his, as the defendant insists,

he will receive a 20-million inheritance.

To discover the truth, with the family's permission,

we exhumed the body, collected Jang Deuk Nam's DNA,

and requested the NFS run a paternity test.

Do you have the result?

The body is badly decomposed, so it will take some time.

But in the process of collecting the DNA,

- we came across something. - What is that?

We were told that Jang Deuk Nam...

died at the hospital due to shock following his surgery.

A large, depressed fracture was found on his skull.

According to the initial analysis of the medical examiner at NFS,

he was either hit with a blunt weapon...

or a blunt force might have been applied when he fell.

This means the fracture was caused by an external force.

- An external force? - There's a possibility of murder.

A murder?

This is an important case where millions of dollars are at stake.

I believe uncovering the cause of the deceased,

who is the most important individual of this case,

is the top priority.

You have a point.

Defense, do you agree?

Yes, Your Honor.

- Then this hearing... - Your Honor.

I have one more thing I must speak to you about.

Okay. Go on.

In this courtroom,

three sisters-in-law who sued the defendant are present.

I'd like to indict the three plaintiffs sitting in the gallery...

and the defendant, Choi Ha Ja.

Please allow me to indict these following individuals...

as suspects of Jang Deuk Nam's murder case.

- What? - What did she say?

Prosecutor Eun, what are you talking about?

Murder? Are you kidding me right now?

- Quiet down. - Your Honor.

I feel utterly wronged by the accusation!

He was my brother!

Do you think we're here to listen to your complaints?

If you feel wronged, cooperate with the prosecution.

- My gosh. - How could this happen?

- Has she gone crazy or what? - Prosecutor Eun!

What do you think you're doing? This is so wrong!

- Wait, wait. - Pardon?

What's wrong with you?

- Hey, hey. - What are you doing?

- Remember where you are. - Hey, compose yourself!

Have you gone mad?

- What are you doing? Calm down! - Did you kill him?

My goodness.

- You two must have lost your mind! - Why are you doing this?

- Let go. Let me go! - Let go of me.

- Hey, do something. - What can I do?

1, 2, 3.

- Hey! - Darn it.

- Let go. I told you to let go. - Stop it.

Hey, you're hurting me.

- I won't stop! Let me go. - Stop it. That's enough.

- Let me go. - Let go of me.

- Let go. - My gosh.

She...

She hated Deuk Nam the most!

You are one scary sister.

Who always said that without Deuk Nam,

all of Dad's money would be ours?

It was you!

You're the one to talk. You lost all of your money to stocks.

And you even took out a private loan!

- You little rat! - Goodness.

That means...

all three of you...

have a motive for murder.

Were the three of you present at the hospital...

on the day of Jang Deuk Nam's death?

We were...

Since the act was carried out in his ward,

the three of you are prime suspects.

It happened in his ward? Who said such nonsense?

There's this guy who talks nonsense.

You said the VIP ward is the same from three years ago, right?

Yes.

Scan the VIP ward.

Will we find the weapon that fits the fracture?

How would I know? We have to look first.

Then I'll make the trip now.

I'll meet the tech team in front of Seon Hospital.

Seon Hospital?

- Yes. - Who was the doctor?

It's Lee Hye Seong.

- Let's go. - Are you coming too?

My gosh, what's going on now?

(Seon Hospital)

My gosh, this is just like an American TV show.

So you're going to find out how he got...

the depressed fracture with this, right?

We even used this system to match the weapon...

the serial killer, Yoo Young Chul, used.

I think we should move the camera a bit to the right.

Right.

- We can't see anything over there. - Right.

The bed, the table, and the armrest on the sofa.

We need to scan all of those.

Right?

(Lee Hye Seong)

Take a look. Right here.

Let's finish this up later. I have a guest.

- What brings you here? - Do you need to ask?

- I'm here because of a murder case. - So you're here to investigate?

All the way to the cardiac surgery department?

You're shameless.

- How dare you come here? - Forget about that.

Jang Deuk Nam...

I looked over his file when the police came to get the record.

It's not uncommon that patients go into shock for unknown reasons...

post-surgery.

There was nothing wrong with the surgery.

A depressed fracture was found in his skull during the autopsy.

Are you sure there weren't any issues?

There was no bleeding...

or any external signs.

What about the autopsy?

His family made a fuss that they must have the funeral done quickly.

I guess...

you must have forgotten since you're not a surgeon anymore.

I'm a doctor who saves lives.

I'm not a doctor who holds onto the dead.

You must be responsible until the very last moment.

Are you saying...

this was medical malpractice?

I don't think I deserve that from you, at least.

You look good.

Seeing only corpses...

must suit you.
