[Episode 4 - What you can see when you close your eyes]

Geez...

Something's really warm...

I told you not to rub against me...

I told you not to rub against me.

It's warm...

Wake up.

You're mistaking that it's hot

because your hippocampus is malfunctioning.

Let me tell you in simple terms.

You're in the process of freezing to death.

Let me ask you for one favor.

My Yi Na...

- Please take care of her. - I don't want to.

A junior high school student's brain...

I can't handle that.

So wake up.

Think of your daughter.

Hey, hey.

Wake up!

I said wake up!

Get up!

Get up!

Hey.

[-17 degrees Celsius]

It's getting even warmer...

I guess I'm really about to die.

No.

Maybe I'm entering the afterlife.

It's turned off.

Someone turned off the power.

It's probably the Grim Reaper.

Now,

let's depart.

No.

Wait...

What are you guys doing here? Who are you?

It's Lee Jong Goo...

Mr. Lee Jong Goo...

Oh, Mr. Lee Jong Goo...

Mr. Lee Jong Goo...

- Where are you going... - Oh, Mr. Lee Jong Goo...

Gosh, he bugs me big time.

I'm telling you, it's nice and warm here.

Why are you sitting like that there?

I don't like sitting sprawled on the floor,

so mind your own business.

What are you saying?

Just before you were lying sprawled on the floor hugging me tightly.

I'm sure I warned you.

Everything that happened inside there is off the record!

Before you create a situation that you can't handle, take that to heart.

Handle, handle, always talking about what I need to handle!

Geez...

Wow, so warm. Whoa, I feel so much better.

Oh, thank you.

Where were you from 14:00 until now?

Why are you asking questions without any warning?

Are you suspecting me right now?

It is something that took place at your house.

It is quite a reasonable suspicion.

I was at a bar.

You can go and ask them!

You were drinking, so why did you suddenly come to the freezer unit?

I just felt that something felt off, so I looked around.

Forget it.

We can just check the CCTV.

According to the written testimony, there are no CCTVs.

But I saw it.

Mr. Lee Jong Goo?

Mr. Lee Jong Goo?

You recently installed it, right?

Oh, yes. I installed it a few days ago.

Especially with all the weird things happening recently, I decided to install it.

Your eyes only see brains?

Detectives like us only see CCTVs.

Around 2 p.m.

You see here?

I left.

And you came after, Detective.

You could have returned.

Let's fast-forward to it.

Someone is entering here.

Who is this? It looks like a woman.

I'm not able to recognize who it is. Who is it?

I think it's your sister-in-law.

Did she come to pick up things for Sa Rang?

She's babysitting my child.

And here we come.

That means she was here when we came.

Gosh...

She pretended not to be around.

Geez, you should stop looking at it.

Thoung most likely ran away toward a blind spot in the CCTV.

She was afraid we might freeze to death, so she turned off the power

and ran away because Lee Jong Goo came.

Then, that means she didn't have any intent to kill us.

So why did she lock us in there?

Well, probably to buy some time.

When Thoung's unni came to get something there,

we also showed up.

She locked us in there to buy herself time to find something.

It was probably at Thoung's request.

Then Thoung's unni knows that Thoung is alive,

and helping her escape?

I am a police detective.

I came to see Thoung's unni.

She left with her niece.

- Where did she say she was going? - I don't know.

I came home from work, and she was gone.

And her phone is off, too.

Your wife didn't tell you anything?

I wish she would say something,

but she just stares blankly into space and starts crying...

I feel so bad for her.

But my sister-in-law...

Is it true that her friend killed her?

That is still under investigation...

[Chief Kim]

Please give me a call when she returns.

Yes.

Yes, Chief.

It's been forever ago that you said you were coming in.

Why are you dragging your feet?

Geez, we almost died!

You almost died?

That's as absurd as saying you almost froze to death.

What!

How did you know?

We almost froze to death! For real.

It's no time for rambling on nonsense.

What about Thoung's DNA?

We are headed to obtain the surest source of DNA.

Her baby.

I will give you a more detailed report when I get back.

Yes.

Geez. As expected, she's not there.

Thoung, Thoung's baby, and Thoung's unni...

The three of them are probably together.

Probably in the process of preparing their hideout.

Right.

In any case, once we catch the unni,

catching Thoung would only be a matter of time.

What are you doing?

The basics of investigation, sticking it out.

The official term is undercover stakeout.

Oh, Sa Rang!

Why were you so late?

A police detective came to the house.

I was late trying to throw them off my trail.

Throw them off your tail?

How?

I temporarily locked them up.

Sa Rang's father hid it away,

so it took some time to find it.

[Thoung's passport]

They didn't freeze to death?

I turned off the power when I left.

By chance,

the police detectives might come looking for you.

Then, tell them that it wasn't you, Unni.

Make sure you tell them it was me.

Got it?

Don't worry about me.

But why do you think the detectives came?

Did they know that you're alive?

Then there may be a departure ban on your passport.

What if you get caught while trying to leave?

I have no choice.

Getting caught would be a matter of time.

Let's just live here in hiding.

I will help you.

It would be better to live in hiding in Vietnam than here.

Also,

if I stay here,

I think it would be torturous for me.

I am so sorry to Hoai...

I keep thinking about it.

It's so tormenting...

It would be better for you to leave.

Go.

Go and live well, okay?

Hurry and leave.

They might put a departure ban on you.

Okay, Unni.

Got through.

Ms. Thoung.

Ms. Thoung! If you trip, your child will get hurt!

Ms. Thoung!

You should stop.

Please let me go.

Please let me leave. Please?

You are under arrest under charges of

murder and mutilation.

She wasn't reported as dead?

Yes. Her unni took the death certificate

but didn't give it to Lee Jong Goo.

And Lee Jong Goo didn't report it because he thought the police did the death report.

Since she wasn't reported as dead, she was able to leave the country.

And she took advantage of that, I see.

It was really close!

We caught her right before she got on the plane.

As expected of the Brain Doctor. He's smart.

He's a talent.

Come on, Chief.

The idea that she might leave the country came from me!

You can stick it out by yourself.

Hey, wait.

One thing.

What do you think Thoung's unni came for?

Money?

It's probably money that Lee Jong Goo secretly hid away.

She probably took the emergency funds when she left the house.

I guess you don't know because you've never left your home before.

When foreign laborers run away,

the most important thing for them

would be money

and passport!

Oh, right! Passport!

She's going to run away to Vietnam?

How can a dead person, I mean,

someone who was reported dead get on a plane?

If she is not reported as dead, it is possible.

Yeah, a police detective like us would know that. The Brain Doctor wouldn't know.

The facial expression on the Brain Doctor at that moment, man.

The way his eyes sparkled...

It was like he was saying, "Oh, not too bad." Respect.

It was an expression of respect!

As expected of a tax thief.

Why are you taking so long to eat?

Must I wait while you eat?

You. You don't know what respect means, right?

I do know.

Let's just say there wasn't any respect.

Humanly speaking, let's not make a fuss about eating.

Don't you know that I starved all day?

I didn't eat, either.

I said let's go together, but you refused!

You didn't eat anything all this time?

My zealous efforts to catch the culprit, even by skipping meals.

Oh, I see!

I will spread the word far and wide.

All right, all right, let's get started quickly.

Please believe me.

I did burn the body.

But I didn't kill Hoai!

I really didn't kill her.

I went out and came back,

but something felt off, so I opened the closet.

Hoai?

Hoai?

Hoai!

Hoai...

I was going to report it,

but then,

this thought came to mind.

That I should run away from my husband.

My husband hit me a lot.

I told you not to make Vietnamese food!

I told you not to do it because it smells!

Are you ignoring me?

Am I a joke to you?

Shut up!

Damn it, this bitch of a daughter is the same as her mother!

Gosh, I let you off easy, but you're dead today.

I endured it and stayed with him because of Sa Rang,

but I can't let him beat Sa Rang, too.

I can't stand that.

You should have reported it right away...

Then,

why didn't you divorce him?

He wouldn't let me get a divorce. He refused to get a divorce.

He said he'd hire someone to kill me even if I ran away.

I mean it!

He said even if he goes to jail, he'll be back out in no time.

I need to die.

But,

I thought this after seeing Hoai's dead body.

That I should pretend to be dead...

I should live as Hoai...

I should be courageous for Sa Rang.

But...

I just couldn't.

I am so sorry to Hoai...

So you used the fact that you weren't reported as dead

and tried to flee to Vietnam

after plotting with your unni.

Unni didn't do anything wrong!

I-I asked her for help.

Unni didn't do anything.

All she did was babysit Sa Rang.

And I was the one who went to the house.

I disguised myself as my unni.

Then you were the one who tried to freeze us to death.

We can add charges of attempted murder by willful intent.

I wasn't trying to kill you.

I-I-I was afraid that you guys might see me.

You mutilated your friend's dead body for your daughter,

and you attempted to kill us because you were afraid.

You're just always blaming others.

It's just despicable.

I'm sorry...

Geez.

So then,

who do you think killed Hoai?

It would obviously be him.

[Suspect Personal Info - Name: Huynh Van Loc]

Loc. He's the first person to discover and report the body,

and he's Hoai's boyfriend.

According to Thoung, he fought with Hoai a lot recently because of his women issues,

and even on the day of the incident, he went on a date with Hoai.

It appears that she was murdered after she came back from her date.

Who was the last person Hoai talked to on the phone?

It was Loc, as expected.

What's with him?

As Loc and Hoai fought, Loc accidentally killed her...

Why don't you believe me?

How many times do I have to tell you that's not true!

You met that girl yesterday, too. I know everything!

Geez! Stop suffocating me so much. Die!

Die!

If we look just at the place and time,

it is possible for Thoung's husband to have done it, too.

Oh, right. He can't recognize people's faces.

Goodness.

I feel like that woman Thoung is the most suspicious.

I can't just believe that woman's testimony.

I know, right?

She said they were such good friends that Hoai even went to her honeymoon

but seeing how she made her like this...

She's quite fearless.

Both Loc and Lee Jong Goo

don't know

that Thoung is alive, right?

We don't tell them about the state of the investigation.

Okay! That's great.

Let's call both of them in.

Their brains

will tell us who the culprit is.

Yes.

I understand. Yes, yes.

The police said to come in? Because of Hoai?

Hoai did this, so why do they keep looking for you?

You haven't gotten a call from Hoai?

Should we just return to Vietnam?

[Seobu Police Station]

Are you ready?

You can think of it as a type of lie detector.

Just answer the questions comfortably.

You had an intimate relationship with Hoai, right?

Yes.

Are you able to get in contact with your girlfriend, Hoai?

No.

Do you think that Hoai

killed her friend, Thoung?

Yes.

I will show you one of Hoai's friends.

Please tell me if you've ever met her before.

Okay.

Thoung? What's this?

What's going on? How are you alive?

Don't lie.

You killed Hoai!

You killed her!

I told you it's not me!

Yes.

We found a prime suspect.

Really?

You caught the culprit?

Right now?

Yes.

Oh, no, no.

Of course, I should go. Yes, I'm on my way now.

A new suspect has been found.

We were wondering if you ran into this person that day.

Even if I bumped into that person, I couldn't recognize their face.

Would I be of any help?

Even if your eyes can't recognize the person, supposedly, your brain can.

All right, come inside.

We will show you two suspects.

Have her come in.

Who is it?

I really don't know who it is.

Wow, he really can't recognize her.

I know, right?

It's really strange, no matter how many times I see it.

Please leave.

Then, this is the second suspect.

Please have her come in.

You... how did you...

Why?

Are you surprised that the one you killed came back from the dead?

I mean, well...

You're able to recognize

- your wife, right? - I mean, well...

her voice is similar, so...

No.

Before you heard her voice, your brain waves reacted first.

The moment your eyes

saw those earrings.

You can't recognize people's faces,

but you recognized the earrings you had gifted her.

Your wife wore those earrings often.

The problem is, the day you went to the factory to pick up your wife,

Hoai was the one

wearing those earrings.

Hoai had borrowed her friend's earrings.

Come on. One more time.

You mistook your wife's friend Hoai for your wife.

You may have seen her hug Loc intimately and shook with anger.

Isn't that right?

You are right.

It appears I've killed her.

At first, I was just going to go home.

But I just couldn't keep it in.

She was wearing the earrings that I had bought,

so I thought she was Sa Rang's mom for sure.

You strangled her right in front of you,

and yet, you couldn't recognize her?

Yes.

These days,

it's getting worse and worse

that I can't even recognize my own face in the mirror.

That does not justify murder.

For you, charges of murdering Hoai.

And you, for mutilating Hoai's dead body.

Both of you will be turned over to the prosecution.

Thoung? What's this?

What's going on? How are you alive?

Don't lie.

You killed Hoai!

Yes.

The dead body you discovered

was not Thoung, but Hoai.

No, no...

It can't be Hoai.

If it was Hoai,

there's no way I wouldn't have recognized her...

No...

It can't be!

Hoai!

No!

No way!

It's the truth.

It appears that he really didn't know that Hoai was dead.

If he was the real culprit,

he should have had a fake response.

Then, who...

It's your fault.

All because of you, I ended up in prison, too!

Why are you blaming me for what you've done?

If I knew you were the one who killed her,

I would've never done something like that.

If you go to jail,

I could live with Sa Rang. So why would I do something like that?

What do I do about our Sa Rang?

What do I do about our Sa Rang!

Goodness, that married couple is so pitiful.

Only the child ended up in that sorry state.

Both of them only saw one piece of the puzzle and reached the wrong conclusion.

They are paying the price for living as slaves of their perspective.

Why go so far as to call them slaves?

It was quite possible to make a mistake.

The husband was quite far along in his ailment,

and the wife saw her friend fight with her boyfriend.

That's why we need to know that human beings are foolish creatures

who only see what they want to see and think what they see is everything.

Well, knowing this wouldn't really change everything,

but we should make an effort, at least.

If you don't even make an effort...

you'd jump to conclusions based on what you see just like them,

and expand on your delusions

and create tragedies.

In other words,

what you see is not everything.

What's important is the attitude of your heart-

Shit.

Just from looking at you,

it's clear you're a slave to your perspective.

You've got the perfect brain structure to have ups and downs in your life.

What are you doing?

I am trying my best not to see things the way it looks.

"Why is the Brain Doctor picking a fight with me again...

What would be the hidden meaning behind the Brain Doctor's actions?"

The eyes of my heart tell me

that I should grab a drink with you today, Brain Doctor.

Since we overcame a life-or-death situation together, shall we go for a drink?

I don't want to celebrate such a thing.

Drink all you want by yourself.

I can see him clearly now that I've got my eyes closed.

A person with a broken personality.

No.

Alger, you know.

There's no way I could be a slave to my perspective.

I'll make sure to get you more next month.

That guy could be getting blackmailed.

He could've lied to the reporter.

That moron...

He's a corrupt cop, for sure!

I will find the evidence someday.

No matter what.

My entire body was shivering

and my body stiffened up like a frozen pollack.

I thought, this is how I die,

and that's when I told Brain Doctor.

Let's achieve symbiosis. Let's hug each other.

- Let's share body heat. - So?

- Did you hug him? - Yeah, like this.

So I was hugging him-

How did it feel?

How it felt? I'm not sure.

I mean, he looks slim

but his chest is wider than expected...

There's something about hugging him that felt good.

Women would really love him.

Oh, right. I found out why his personality is so crooked.

Turns out he carries much pain.

Trauma?

Why?

Were the doors locked and wouldn't open?

Yeah, that's what they said had happened.

They said they barely managed to rescue me,

but I don't remember it.

None of it?

I don't remember anything about the accident.

All I remember vaguely is

someone banging on the car door furiously.

How old were you?

I was six years old.

What did your parents say?

They passed away...

from that accident.

He was six years old when that happened!

He has been alone ever since then.

I mean, supposedly, his aunt raised him well,

but how lonely must he have been?

He became a scientist after enduring all those lonely years studying,

but then he got fired because of me.

Geez, I feel so bad.

Your dad's heart breaks for him.

No wonder. He acts really rude and annoying,

but I kept worrying about him for some reason.

Is that why his eyes seemed a bit melancholy?

Wow...

I really wanted to eat this,

but goodness, it would be a shame to eat it by myself.

Try eating this later.

It tastes so bad.

You should have called if you were going to eat jokbal* (Steamed pig feet)

You can't eat this all by yourselves, either.

Do we have the type of relationship to be eating jokbal together?

Why?

If we get divorced, we can't eat jokbal together?

Is it illegal?

Let's be cool about this.

In Hollywood,

people live perfectly fine as friends even after a divorce.

Can't we be like that, too?

No, we can't.

This isn't the U.S. It's South Korea.

And Dad is a typical Korean man.

Is that a compliment or an insult?

You say that because you don't know your dad.

Your dad is actually more of a Hollywood style than you think!

Is that a compliment or an insult?

You're the weird one. Why are you acting so old instead of acting your age?

Why can't you act your age?

- Aren't you insisting your way too much? - Insisting my way?

Is wanting to eat fried chicken with my daughter insisting my way?

That's what you want.

- You never asked me! - Forget it, forget it!

Stop fighting! Just eat.

Who says we're fighting!

- You weren't fighting? - Of course not.

We're in the middle of a conversation.

Gosh, I really can't figure it out.

Wow, I really can't understand you two.

Geez, you're sucking my energy out.

[Team Captain Seol]

Yes, Team Captain. You've regained consciousness?

I was about to call you anyway because I was curious.

How do you feel?

Yes, fortunately, they say there are no issues.

Thank you for worrying about me a lot.

Yes, I'm fine.

Detective Geum.

I called you because I had some business with you.

You should come to the hospital.

Right now?

Oh, I mean, well...

But you really are Team Captain Seol, right?

I'll be going out for a bit. You two eat.

Where are you going at this hour?

I have some business to tend to. I'll be back.

Don't go around late at night. Take the taxi home.

- Leave the taxi number to Yi Na. - Wait...

His work habits are showing again...

Your dad...

Is there anything strange about him lately?

Yeah. I think Dad likes someone.

Right?

I knew it.

How did you know? Did you see the person?

Yeah.

You saw that person?

Who is it? Someone from the police, right?

What does that person look like?

Like this.

What's this? It's a guy.

I think Dad likes this ahjussi.

- What? - No, he 100% likes him.

He just keeps talking about this ahjussi.

[Hankuk University Hospital]

When we questioned him using the brain wave test results, he confessed.

We sent them over to the prosecution,

Lee Jong Goo for charges of murder and Thoung for charges of mutilation.

Yes, great job.

Oh, no, you're the one who did great.

We found out that the dead body was not Thoung, but Hoa,

because of you and the Brain Doctor.

We almost got completely fooled. By the way,

how did you find that out?

Her wallet.

The area for your photo was way too clean.

The dust would soon get into it if it was left empty.

But it was as if someone took a photo out of it recently.

I thought someone could've tampered with it.

Just in case, I went to obtain Hoai's DNA,

but there were no hairbrushes, makeup brushes, or toothbrushes there.

Yeah, Thoung placed them in her home.

I thought it was strange,

but I became sure of it when I saw the picture of them together.

They both had the same tattoo.

I thought even her boyfriend could confuse the two.

Wow, your keen sense of observation...

You really accomplish something great!

Thanks to you, we solved the case quickly.

Yes, I usually do my job well. I just don't show it off.

Oh, of course! That's right.

I guess you decided to start showing it off.

Oh, well, you should rest now.

Where should I place this?

Just leave it there, Detective Geum.

Yes.

Since I finished my report, I'll be on my way.

- Get home safely. - Yes, Ma'am.

What is this?

[Dissection of Violence: the Psychopath's brain]

[Dissection of Violence: the Psychopath's Brain. By Shin Ha Ru]

Warden.

Y-Yes, Doctor.

Any letters for me?

I'm sorry. There are none.

Are you sure it was delivered properly to Doctor Shin?

Yes, we sent it for sure.

[Dissection of Violence: the Psychopath's Brain. By Shin Ha Ru]

[Sender Hwang Dong Woo, Recipient Shin Ha Ru]

[Sender Hwang Dong Woo]

[Center Director]

Yes?

That person you mentioned last time, Hwang Dong Woo...

You're right.

He's the neurosurgery doctor who killed patients.

Right?

He was your academic advisor, right, Center Director?

Yeah.

I just didn't want to act like I knew him

because he's an unpleasant man. But why do you ask?

A letter randomly came to Ha Ru from him.

What did it say? What's the letter about?

Didn't Ha Ru say anything about it?

Actually, the thing is...

I'm stealing someone's stuff

for the first time in my fifties.

I felt uncomfortable holding onto it, so I was going to give it to Ha Ru today.

No, you did well. You should never give it to him.

I did it because I had a bad feeling about it,

but why are you saying that?

He's a wicked man. He's a destructive man.

Those who spent a long time in contact with Dr. Hwang

end up in two ways.

Either they commit suicide

or become a murderer.

I heard that he made two prison guards and several inmates commit suicide in prison.

After that, he was placed in isolation,

and I heard the warden in charge of him is changed periodically for their safety.

Are you worried that he might influence Ha Ru negatively?

He is deadly for those with an unstable brain like Ha Ru.

Dr. Hwang...

would recognize Ha Ru's characteristics right away. It's very dangerous.

[010-345-3145]

I don't know what motive he's got for contacting Ha Ru, but

this is bait, for sure.

We need to make sure he doesn't fall for it.

We can't let the two of them get in contact.

Understand?

Yes, I understand.

[010-345-3145]

The customer is not answering the phone. You'll be connected to the voicemail.

[Dr. Shin Ha Ru]

He must not be picking up because it is an unknown number.

You're sure this is his number?

Yes.

Someone from the research institute he worked at gave it to me.

It should be correct if he didn't change his number in that span.

What is this supposed to mean?

Hwang Dong Woo?

What's this?

What is she getting investigated for that she's dressed like that?

Daebak, where did she buy clothes like that?

Detective Geum, good morning.

Team Captain?

I mean, what is going on!

Are you okay, Team Captain?

Hey, Team Captain.

Is your body okay?

Yup. I'm perfectly fine.

I heard Team Captain Seol came into work...

Chief, you're here.

Hello.

What are you doing?

I am analyzing the files for the hypnosis investigation that Homicide Team 2 requested.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Are you going to perform an exorcism?

I'm sure exorcisms are done by shamans.

Or...

do you have a date?

Does your boyfriend have a thing for shamans?

Chief, you just belittled shamans and spoke sexual harassment statements to me.

Please watch your words.

You're even talking back to me.

You must have lost your mind when you injured your forehead!

You've really gone nuts, haven't you?

Or...

are you using that as an excuse to pretend to have gone mad?

To screw with me?

How dare you...

Stop glaring at me this instant!

What's this...

Are you rebelling against me?

I've gone through many rebellions against me in my life,

but I've never seen someone rebel against me using fashion.

What?

Are you protesting because you got hurt in the field after I said something about it?

No.

Chief, instead of being like this...

What do you mean it's not?

It's all written in your eyes.

Hey.

Because you were doing useless things and got admitted to the hospital,

your coworkers did all your work.

If you were a nuisance to the organization by lying on a hospital bed, then you should know to be sorry.

How dare you suddenly act rebellious!

You think I freaking wanted to be in the hospital?

Look here, Chief Kim.

Your subordinate almost died trying to do her best to follow your orders.

And yet, you say what instead of comforting her?

Something useless?

Cause nuisance?

Your lips are more of a nuisance.

Speaking derogatory words to your subordinates and lowering their morale.

You are more of a nuisance!

You've really...

- gone mad! - Oh, wait...

H-Hey, Team Captain,

you can't be like this. Why are you acting like this!

Yes, I've gone mad.

So, watch what you say around me.

Okay.

I will watch what I say and also block your path forward.

I'll make sure of it!

What do we do? I'm not scared one bit.

Seriously!

I'm strong.

You helped me bulk up by having me change the water dispenser tanks.

This bitch!

Chief, why are you doing this!

Team Captain, are you okay? Whoa!

Chief!

Self-defense. Mutual assault.

You saw it, right?

I ask for your testimony to the inspection department.

I will do it for you as well.

The testimony.

Brain Doctor!

Help me!

Even when I think about it, it's weird.

I couldn't control myself.

My anger rose within me, and harsh words started pouring out of my lips.

Your heart doesn't beat fast like you used to, right?

Now that I think about it, that's true.

Of course, your face doesn't get red, either.

Yes.

Is there a problem with my brain?

That problem can be a blessing for some people.

Congratulations.

She's crazy.

She's gone completely mad.

You saw how she smirked at me, right?

Yeah...

I got so scared.

She grabbed your arm, and in one swoop, she threw you to the ground!

Don't you dare go around telling people about what happened today.

Oh, yes. Of course not.

Aigoo, my back. My back...

But...

what do you think about apologizing to Team Captain?

What if she goes to the Inspection Department?

Don't you know that the guys in charge of the Inspection are my direct juniors?

Tell her to do it!

Please tell her to go for it!

I'll tell them to utterly put her down so she never rebels against me again.

Do you want rice in your soup?

Congratulations. What you wanted has happened.

A brain modification.

A brain modification?

Yes.

Simply put, that's what happened.

There are times when people's personalities change after injuring their brains.

The most famous case would be Phineas Gage in America.

Gage, who worked as a railway construction site supervisor,

suffered an accident where an iron rod penetrated his head from under his left eye from an explosion.

Although he suffered major damage to his left frontal lobe and lost his left eye,

he survived.

However, after his miraculous recovery,

Gage's friends and coworkers all agreed after seeing him.

That he is no longer Gage.

The diligent and friendly Gage

changed into an unpredictable, impulsive, and temperamental person.

He became a pseudo-psychopath,

or someone who had the characteristics of a psychopath.

Then, that's what happened to Team Captain, too?

It seems like a similar case.

The area that Team Captain injured was the prefrontal cortex,

and it's where one assesses fear.

Her prefrontal cortex is less active than normal people.

So she is in a state where she can't recognize fear or make rational decisions.

She is displaying characteristics similar to those of a psychopath.

Psychopath?

Oh, that scared me!

Gosh, Team Captain...

She said she wanted to try living like someone else...

I guess she managed to get her wish.

It may be a temporary symptom,

so let's keep watch for a bit longer.

If it's not a temporary thing, what will happen?

What happens if she never recovers?

Then you'll need to watch out...

If she's turned into a real psychopath,

it won't end at throwing you over her shoulder or reporting you to the Inspection Department.

Well then, I have an appointment, so...

bye now.

Thank you, Brain Doctor.

See you.

Did I upset Team Captain Seol a lot?

Yes!

I wasn't just simply getting her upset.

Would it be best for me to apologize?

Yes.

As soon as possible.

What is your name?

How old are you?

When an elderly asks you a question, you should answer.

An order has been issued to all staff not to engage in conversation with you, Doctor.

Do you also...

believe that I am responsible for

Warden Bang beating his girlfriend

to a bloody pulp?

I do not take any questions.

Young man, you seem to be lacking manners.

- I am only doing what I was ordered to do. - I...

despise disrespect more than murder.

You are fortunate.

I am in an excellent mood today.

It's been 1,213 days...

since someone I know came to visit me.

Have you been well?

It's been a while.

You should be busy because of Brain Hub.

What brings you here?

You broke your promise.

That's not good.

Do you know that you are overly sensitive right now?

Why did you contact Ha Ru?

Didn't Dr. Shin tell you?

Is it because I've grown old?

It broke my heart when I heard Dr. Shin was kicked out of the research institute.

I managed to get a hold of Dr. Shin's dissertation and read it,

but it was worth the difficulty to get it.

He's top-notch.

He's creative and aggressive.

How is it a crime that a talent like him

obtained the brain of a murderer without proper authorization?

I thought that I should

help Dr. Shin's Psycho Brain Rebuilding Project.

What purer example would be out there besides me?

You should give it to our Brain Hub.

Ha Ru will return.

If you donate it to our research institute,

Dr. Shin can use it also-

Honestly,

I'm curious...

if that bright little kid

still doesn't know

about his parents' deaths.

Does he still think it was a car accident?

Professor.

It appears my curiosity frightens you.

I know that in your prison cell,

there is a Silvermund Audio system.

Are you threatening me right now?

How could I dare threaten you?

I'm making a request.

Please keep your promise

not to approach Ha Ru. I beg you.

How could you make threats using the only source of enjoyment of an old man

withering away in jail?

Isn't that too childish?

Please don't make me

act any more childish.

That's right.

That's how you should respond.

Now, you finally seem like my student.

All right.

It is my student's request, so I'll listen.

[Establishing Law and Order for Human Respect]

By the way,

send some antiemetics to the infirmary for me.

Because seeing you act as if you were Dr. Shin's father

makes me want to throw up.

He was such a bright child.

Will he recognize me?

Doctor...

Hwang Dong Woo?

Hello,

Dr. Shin Ha Ru.

♫ Don't let me down, yeah ♫

♫ My time is not today ♫

♫ I can do this all day ♫

[Brain Works]

I feel like we can become friends.

What's your plan?

A demon?

The suspect is a six-year-old daughter?

Think about the demon you saw that day.

Make your choice.

Either work with us or leave immediately.

Brain Doctor!

You have pushed that woman into hell.

There is something foreboding at the door.

Here.

Think about it.

♫ Take my hand, take my hand ♫
