Oppa, I'm here.

Oppa!

12

Detective Kang, hold on.

13

Look here. Look here!

14

- Oppa!- Come to your senses! Hey!

15

Hold on! Wait!

16

Oppa!

17

- Oppa!- Detective Kang!

18

Detective Kang, wait.

Patient Transfer

20

Is it a prosecutor you know?

21

What should we do? Should we send him to his jurisdiction, or should we bring him?

22

For now, please hold off.

23

For a bit.

24

Did anything come out?

25

Detective Kang.

26

Detective Kang, look at me.

27

Cry as much as you want.

28

Be sad as much as you want, too.

29

But let's be cool headed starting tomorrow.

30

That's how we'll catch the criminal. We'll do that, okay?

31

I think this happened because of me.

32

Because of me.

33

How can you say such a thing?

34

What did you do wrong?

35

You have done nothing wrong.

36

The fire at O-Yong Paper company in Gyeonggido was completely extinguished, however

37

Four employees are buried in the basement, and are in the process of being rescued.

38

But the internal basement space is very small...What are you?

39

They are experiencing difficulties.I'm here on President Oh's errand.

40

To get payment from you.

41

I don't have money! Go!

42

Tell him I'll give him money as soon as I get some.

43

When?

44

That I don't know either! Ah. Jeez.

45

I'll write the repayment date, so follow through on that day.

46

Ah, okay, okay. Okay!

47

You did well.

48

Woo Chul Hyung!

49

Woo Chul Hyung! Wake up!

50

Open your eyes!

Korea University Hospital's Forensics office is authorized and responsible for

Case 08 - SupermanSeason 4

54

Okay. Let's try slowly organize everything from the beginning.

55

First, Prosecutor Lee gave you the classified case files, asking you for advice.

56

And after a couple days, he took them back. Right?

57

Yes.

58

He said the case was solved.

59

But according to the police station data at their jurisdiction, no such case even existed.

60

But the deceased's picture was even on the file.

61

Yes.

62

If that's the case...

63

Why in the world did he hand you that kind of case file?

64

I thought it was because it was related to disabled people and rare diseases.

65

He showed up all of a sudden after 10 years, and left you with a case. You didn't find that weird?

66

Back then, I didn't know it was.

67

Anyway,

68

when the case file was in your hands, something bad happened. And...

69

The moment the case file left your hands,

70

Prosecutor Lee was killed.

71

Yes.

72

Detective Kang. Don't take this the wrong way.

73

If... Just what if...

74

Prosecutor Lee was trying to use you?

75

Use?

76

That case file was like a bomb.

77

But why would he have left such a dangerous case to you?

78

In the end, he just passed the bomb along.

79

Why? Because he doesn't know when and where, and in front of whom it will explode again.

80

By chance, are you Detective Kang Kyeong Hee?

81

Who are you?

82

I am Investigator Lee Yeong Chul from the Central District Prosecutor's Office.

83

He didn't say anything else?

84

Yes. He just asked to meet.

85

Then Mr. Han Jin Wu, why did you go with her?

86

I just went with her. We're lovers.

87

Did Prosecutor Lee receive threats from anyone recently,

88

or was he on bad terms with anyone recently?

89

It hasn't even been a month since I've met him again in 10 years.

90

How do know all the details of his personal matters?

91

Investigator. Instead of questioning us,

92

shouldn't you go with the clues found at the crime scene?

93

Well, there's no DNA results. And we didn't perform the autopsy yet.

94

In any case, he died on his way to meet you guys!

95

This leaves you two as the primary suspects.

96

Look here, Investigator.

97

Yes.

98

Ah, yes.

99

What does that mean?

100

The prosecutors took everything?

101

Yes.

102

DNA records, crime scene records, and even the evidence.

103

They took it all.

104

While we were being questioned, they took it.

105

I'm at a loss for words, seriously.

106

I said we'll take the case, but we got rejected.

107

Which departement in the prosecutor's office is handling the case?

108

I don't know that either.

109

They just came all of the sudden, gave us the notice, and left.

110

I'll try going there.

111

Detective Kang.

112

I'll look into that right now.

113

You should take care of the case that came in today.

114

Right, leave that to the team leader here. We should think about something else for now.

115

Let's go.

116

Okay, Gyeonggido, Yeongju City.

117

What are you doing?

118

Nothing.

119

Aren't you visiting your ex-girlfriend too often?

120

It's not like that.

121

It looked like you were writing something down.

122

Did your ex-girlfriend change her phone number or address?

123

I said it's really not like that.

124

If it's not, it's not. Why are you getting angry?

125

Making me feel embarrassed.

126

Lee Woo Chul. 32 years old. He's a firefighter.

127

Two days ago, as soon as he came back from extinguishing a fire, he died at the fire station.

128

- Cause of death?- Pulmonary thromboembolism.

129

Blockage of blood vessels in the lung due to blood clots or air.

130

Ah this...this illness occurs when blood clots form in the lung's blood vessels, clogging them.

131

But this by itself is not that dangerous.

132

But depending on the surrounding circumstances, it can be fatal.

133

Especially when it's the scene of fire, like this.

134

Although we also live getting paid by the country...

135

Firefighters are really incredible people.

136

But how did this happen...

137

What about the estimated time of outbreak?

138

As the professor mentioned, it is related to the fire at the factory.

139

Rather than extinguishing the fire, I think the cause is the rescue operation of employees in the basement.

140

They were deeply buried

141

so he performed the rescue operation in a space so narrow that one person can barely fit through.

142

How long was he in the rescue operation?

143

- It's about 10 hours.- Aigoo.

144

He was rescuing for 10 hours in a narrow space, with his body curled.

145

On top of that, toxic gas.

146

It's enough of a condition that would cause outbreak of the disease.

147

A narrow space can become the cause?

148

Well, there are various causes.

149

Besides, fracture and stroke,

150

it can also occur when you cannot move your body for a long period of time.

151

Obesity, heart disease, and cancer can also cause it.

152

And sometimes it can occur after you ride the plane for a long time.

153

And besides those, in all conditions where you are in a narrow space for a long time, disrupting blood flow.

154

What about the reason this came to us?

155

Although pulmonary embolism due to blood clot was found,

156

there is the question of whether this is critical enough to cause pulmonary embolism.

157

So we have to determine if there are other factors, or if it's a rare disease.

158

Today, put more heart into it.

159

Everyone, silent prayer.

160

Aigoo, there are bruises and lacerations all over the body.

161

No place is completely intact.

162

Each of these wounds are medals.

163

Medals that prove he rescued people.

164

Right, you're right.

165

But I don't know why they don't give real medals.

166

Okay. Like the preliminary autopsy, a pulmonary embolism was found.

167

But it's hard to say it was the direct cause.

168

But with this size blood clot,

169

it can cause difficulty in breathing, but it's not enough to cause sudden shock.

170

I mean, if there aren't other predisposing factors before his death.

171

There are no problems with his heart?

172

Yes. There's no big problems with his heart.

173

Outwardly, there's no problem with his brain.

174

But let's do a biopsy just in case.

175

Let's look at the back.

176

- Yes.- Help me.

177

Why the back?

178

I'm wondering if it's related to shock in the spinal nerves.

179

If it was in a buried area.

180

Hold on.

181

This wound.

182

It looks really old. Really deep too.

183

He was stabbed or gashed by something sharp.

184

Okay.

185

Examiner, let's do another spine exam on this area.

186

This doesn't seem to be related to this case.

187

But let's do it once just in case.

188

Han Goon.-Yes.

189

When you get the sample, hand over the MRI, and also extract the spinal fluid and send it out for testing.

190

Yes, I'll get on it.

191

Prosecutors, tell me the exact reason.

192

Well, we have the right to be informed of the reason.

193

We were the ones who found prosecutor Lee Jae Joon's body.

194

And we were the ones who investigated from start to finish!

195

What I'm trying to say is...

196

Hello... Hello...

197

They're not going to tell us?

198

Couldn't you tell by listening?

199

Why are they like this all of a sudden?

200

A Korean prosecutor died after being stabbed in the neck.

201

It's not a clean case.

202

Of course they would want to handle it quietly so things don't leak to the outside.

203

Deceased Lee Woo Chul

204

There was nobody like him.

205

He had a sense of duty, and he always led the way.

206

Among us rescue workers, everyone is indebted to Hyung Woo Chul.

207

During the operation, if anyone fainted,

208

the person who protected us until the end while putting his life on the line...

209

That was Hyung Woo Chul.

210

By chance, did he say he was sick anywhere?

211

No, he was healthy.

212

Among us, his nickname was Boulder.

213

Even when he was hit, ripped, or burned, he didn't show any pain.

214

At first, I thought it was because he was good at enduring pain.

215

He didn't show pain at all.

216

He would get right back up.

217

Woo Min.

218

Who is he?

219

Yes, he's Woo Chul's little brother.

220

You did all this just to die this way?

221

What did I tell you?

222

I told you you'd die after only benefiting others.

223

Woo Min!

224

What are you saying in front of your brother's portrait?

225

Am I wrong?

226

If this is not a dog's death, what is it?!

227

Why you little!

228

- Calm down.- We're in front of the portrait of the deceased.

229

Even if you just live however you want,

230

how dare you say that!

231

Where do I receive compensation money or consolation money?

232

What?

233

A family member receives them, right?

234

What did you say, you bastard?

235

You should stop now.

236

Even if you're his brother, you're crossing the line.

237

You're talking crap.

238

What kind of wench are you?

239

What? Wench?

240

What's wrong with you?

241

What the hell, seriously.

242

You come as a set to someone else's funeral, and you're making a fuss.

243

Look, let's step outside.

244

Hey!

245

If you called someone out, you should say something.

246

What are you doing at a mortuary?

247

Your brother is in there!

248

That's exactly why I'm doing as I please.

249

Forget it, Detective Kang. People like him won't come to their senses even if you hit them twenty thousand times.

250

Why?

251

Are you scared of something?

252

Are you scared?

253

Try beat me as much as you like. See if I cower.[ "Now" written on forearm]

254

What are you doing?

255

What're you up to now?

256

So don't provoke me.

257

I'm the craziest dog out of all the crazy dogs.

258

Examiner, I'll be going to the main hospital for a while.

259

Why there?

260

Oh...there is an autopsy I want to observe.

261

What autopsy?

262

Oh, that is...death from electric shock and toxic chemical poisoning.

263

Okay, go there and be back.

264

Study it closely.

265

Yes, I will.

266

His background check arrived. He's his real brother.

267

I really hoped he was not his real brother.

268

When Woo Chul was nine, his parents passed away.

269

And he was at the orphanage before he escaped.

270

He didn't have relatives?

271

Maybe he did, but no one would take him in.

272

What does that younger brother do for a living?

273

In our terminology...a thug.

274

He has two criminal records of blackmail.

275

And he usually works for a loan shark office.

276

I think he's doing that now.

277

No wonder. He's not even a grilled dried squid or anything.

278

I should've known when he was burning himself with the lighter.

279

There there are a lot of petty criminals like that.

280

People who threatens others by injuring himself.

281

Mosquitoes are flying around too.

282

Let's see.

283

Pain killers. Muscle pain.

284

Bruises. Lacerations.

285

Just by looking at the medicine, I can feel how painful it was.

286

What's that?

287

To my younger brother Woo Min.

288

Woo Min!

289

Wow, trying to talk by myself...

290

It's really embarrassing and stuff.

291

The reason I'm leaving this is...you know it too, right?

292

Being a firefighter means I don't know when and where something might happen to me.

293

And that means I'll have to leave without getting to say anything to you.

294

That's why I'm leaving this behind.

295

Woo Min.

296

I'm sorry. When I was young, I couldn't pay much attention to you because of my part-time jobs.

297

You were sick a lot, but I couldn't personally take you to the hospital.

298

You're still not that well.

299

You have to go to a big hospital.

300

I've never said this before,

301

but I'll say it for the first time and the last time.

302

I love you, my little bro.

303

I wonder if the brother knows his hyung's feelings.

304

But that brother of his...

305

He must have had a chronic disease.

306

Right? He's saying he needs to go to a big hospital.

307

And he's blind in one eye.

308

Now

309

Han Goon.

310

Oh, I thought he'd surely be here. Where did he go?

311

Ilseong Services

312

Does he look like police?

313

Film the guy you saw, and take off all the labels.

314

Don't be seen.

315

Let me have a drink too.

316

Drink on your own.

317

Don't bother me.

318

Yeah? Then I'll pour myself.

319

What happened to your eye? Did you get hurt?

320

Why do you want to know?

321

If you don't want to say it, don't.

322

Let me drink in peace. Leave.

323

When I saw earlier,

324

you didn't seem to be in pain even when you lit the lighter on your arm.

325

Are you just good at holding in pain?

326

I told you.

327

I'm a crazy dog.

328

It really doesn't hurt at all?

329

I do it because it doesn't hurt.

330

So you get payments from them like that.

331

You're being so annoying! Go!

332

Why did you go see Lee Woo Chul's brother again?

333

Just because. Just.

334

You seemed to be more emotionally involved in this case.

335

Does it look that way?

336

Yes.

337

I can tell right away now.

338

Wow.

339

Isn't it nice I'm showing an interest in something now?

340

You're right. Strangely, my heart keeps going there.

341

I thought about why.

342

I think it's because I don't have siblings. Because I'm alone.

343

When I was young, I used to have really a lot of those thoughts.

344

How nice it'd be if I had a brother or a sister.

345

How reassured would I feel?

346

Right, it's better as two than being alone.

347

But this one little brother of a punk

348

has a great brother like Lee Woo Chul, but he doesn't know it.

349

I'd like to let him know but...

350

I feel like I'm overstepping my boundary.

351

No you're not.

352

His hyung left this world, but we still need to let him know.

353

How much of a precious existence left this world.

354

Should we?

355

Well, in any case,

356

we need to fill our stomach. What should we eat?

357

Lamb skewer?

358

Lamb skewer...

359

I have to go meet Detective Nam. I have something to say.

360

Then I'll have to let you go cooly.

361

We should always be careful.

362

Lift up your guard, and keep your eyes forward. Okay?

363

Okay.

364

Let's go.

365

What is this?

366

Just as you see.

367

The deceased and the anonymous letter related to the waste disposal case.

368

It doesn't really seem like a classified case.

369

That's what seemed weird to me too.

370

The fight last time at the potato stew restaurant...

371

It was a lie, right? That was related to this.

372

But why are you showing this to me now?

373

I'm giving you a chance.

374

It's too overwhelming and dangerous for just me and doctor Han.

375

And since we have to investigate secretly without permission, I need an ally.

376

A trustworthy ally.

377

But you don't trust me.

378

That's why I'm giving you a chance to be trustworthy.

379

What should I do first?

380

The service company in the photo.

381

I'll look up the person who sent the anonymous letter.

382

I got it.

383

First, let's share it with my guys. They know how to keep a secret.

384

Yes.

385

Be careful. Carry your gun at all times.

386

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The GQ4 Team @ Viki

387

Han Goon.

388

Where were you all day?

389

I'm sorry, things were taking long at the main hospital.

390

You weren't playing around somewhere, right?

391

Of course not.

392

Lee Woo Chul has a younger brother.

393

Look up his hospital records.

394

And look up his medical history, and everything else.

395

Yes, I will.

396

Anyway, you're strange recently. You're strange.

397

- Ah! I'm leaving now.- Hello.

398

You're really weird.

399

Why?

400

You didn't go to the main hospital today, right?

401

Junior-nim, do you know it shows on your face when you lie?

402

I-I Do?

403

It must be true.

404

I was just saying it.

405

I don't really like having a lot of secrets between us.

Lee Seok Nam's documentsBiohazardWho is this?

408

Lee Seok Nam - On the run/In hidingHandwriting test result:Possibility of emotional anxiety & psychological fear

409

Did you look into Ilseong Services?

410

Yes.

411

It's a service company that closed a year ago, but the owner's whereabouts are unknown.

412

Then what about Lee Seong Nam who wrote the anonymous letter?

413

We're looking for him all over, but he's missing.

414

His family doesn't know where he is either.

415

Then first of all, we have to quickly confirm if Lee Song Nam is alive or not.

416

Oh and...you know the waste containers at the factory?

417

I find that weird.

418

Why?

419

As you can see from the picture, the pattern is in black.

420

Does it differ by color?

421

Yes. Black is for regular medical wastes.

422

Yellow is for harmful medical wastes. And red is for quarantined medical wastes,

423

which is the most dangerous one, being highly contagious.

424

Then the containers at the factory are the weakest ones.

425

Yes. They were either regular chemical residue,

426

or used fluids.

427

But that's not what's important. Any medical waste

428

must be handled by a special pickup company.

429

So that means a regular service company cannot do that.

430

Then that itself is illegal.

431

Yes. So as you can see from the photos,

432

they put it right in front of the factory entrance so they can be seen.

433

You're right. People from city hall must've clearly noticed it as they came and went.

434

If they just purposely let this go,

435

then there are two possibilities. The first one is

436

that Ilseong Services was not involved in wastes in the first place.

437

They only manage and obtain waste containers.

438

What about the second possibility?

439

They were supposed to hide this,

440

but someone purposely put it there.

441

So that it can be seen.

442

Then it's highly possible that it was Lee Seong Nam.

443

First, we should collect it.

444

Yes. And we need to urgently find what components were in the container.

445

Yes.

446

Lee Woo Chul's test results came out.

447

According to his spinal cord exam, injuries were found.

448

- Anything else?- It's small, but a deformation of the spine was confirmed.

449

And there were no problems genetically.

450

If it was spinal cord injury, weren't there signs of paralysis?

451

Of course he had it.

452

But how was he able to perform as a firefighter?

453

In any case, my guess was totally wrong.

454

What was your guess?

455

Professor!

456

Lee Woo Chul's brother Lee Woo Min's hospital records have been confirmed.

457

Thank you.

458

By chance...is it CIPA?

459

Yes, you're right.

460

He's been getting treatments since long ago, but he stopped treatments a year ago.

461

If it's CIPA...

462

Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA).Inability for the brain to register pain and temperature.

463

That's why he couldn't feel pain, and inflicted self injuries.

464

Yes.

465

But I predicted that

466

Lee Woo Chul also had this condition.

467

Because his colleagues said he endured pain really well.

468

And since there's a possibility of it being hereditary,

469

it could've been inherited by both brothers.

470

Right.

471

But I was wrong.

472

That gene mutation was not found in Lee Woo Chul.

473

For CIPA, that's the main cause.

474

If Lee Woo Chul had CIPA, can there be other causes of death?

475

People with CIPA cannot sweat easily.

476

That means heat cannot be released very well.

477

But a firefighter was in an extremely hot area

478

wearing heatproof clothes for a long time.

479

What symptoms will appear as a result?

480

- Acute shock from high fever.- That's right.

481

He could've died from shock due to high fever.

482

However, the exact cause of death is still unclear.

483

Acute shock.

484

Excuse me.

485

This is Lee Woo Chul's medical records that just arrived.

486

Thank you.

487

Let's see.

488

Thoracic vertebrae...

489

Orthopedics?

490

Hypersensitive to high dose steroids

491

Steroid...

492

Quickly hand over the money!

493

The funeral is over, so we should settle the rest.

494

Why is it taking so long to deposit?

495

Did we do that?

496

What do you want us to do about what the country takes care of?!

497

Ahjussi, aren't you in the middle making things difficult?

498

- What did you say, you jerk?!- Ahjussi!

499

and all the people sitting down

500

think carefully.

501

Don't end up like hyung and leave like that.

502

Get out!

503

Get out right now!

504

Give it!

505

What is money, really? That's not why we're doing this job.

506

Don't worry too much.

507

All regular people know.

508

That firefighters work with sincerity and sense of duty.

509

Thank you for acknowledging that.

510

But for what reason are you here?

511

Oh...Before

512

you said that Lee Woo Chul didn't have anything wrong with him normally, right?

513

Yes.

514

And you also said that he doesn't normally feel pain.

515

- Yes.- Then by chance...

516

could he handle hot things well?

517

Yes.

518

When opening heated valves, we couldn't even open it with our gloves on because it was so hot.

519

But Woo Chul opened it as if it was nothing.

520

Even when he was holding it, it wasn't hot?

521

Yes.

522

Ah...there was something unique.

523

What?

524

When he was touching something hot or sharp, he only used one hand.

525

You have to use both hands to open valves, but he only used one.

526

Firefighter Lee Woo Chul

527

The labels disappeared?

528

Yes. They only removed the waste stickers.

529

So you didn't bring the containers?

530

We have to check the contents.

531

Inside there was only trash from food.

532

The kind that is produced into animal feed.

533

- Are you sure?- Yes.

534

I worked the kitchen in the military, so I can tell right away.

535

That means they stuck it on the wrong containers.

536

If that's so...the contents aren't the problem.

537

It means the goal was to make someone see it.

538

Like Doctor Han just said, it was labeled to announce something.

539

And someone else, knowing that, took them off.

540

But that black pattern...it's for regular waste that is not problematic.

541

Thinking about it,

542

the containers in the photo next to the body had black markings.

543

If the contents aren't important, then it's not really related to the body either.

544

That's true.

545

However, if the person who attached it didn't know about the color differences

546

and just marked it with the sole intent of announcing, then it makes sense.

547

Having nothing to do with the contents.

548

Team Leader!

549

The CEO of Ilseong Services...

550

He was missing, but four days ago, his body was found at Worak mountain.

551

- Body?- Yes.

552

It looks like he fell while hiking. But since it was so deep in the mountains,

553

he was only found now.

554

Slowly, people are dying...

555

We have to quickly find Lee Seong Nam who sent the anonymous letter.

556

Yes, Han Goon.

557

I found the contact information for Lee Woo Min's previous doctor.

558

It's been more than a year since the last time he came to the hospital.

559

I looked at his medical records, and it looked like he had an an advanced disease.

560

Yes.

561

He has to get continuous treatment, but he didn't want that.

562

But it could have made him worse.

563

He said his brother was more of the problem.

564

Hyung-nim?

565

Yes, he thought he had the same disease as him.

566

So...he thought that his brother had the same disease?

567

That's why I told him to bring him to the hospital,

568

but there was no news after that.

569

As you already know, the hospital and drug fees for CIPA patients are no joke.

570

If there are two people in the family with this disease, there would be a lot of burden.

571

That Lee Seong Nam guy...there's nothing yet?

572

No, no matter how I try to track him, nothing comes up.

573

He doesn't have any phone number, accounts, or records of card use.

574

His email address was on the letter.

575

You should contact him through that.

576

I thought of that, but we might get traced.

577

and we also get exposed.

578

That's true...ah...

579

is there no way?

580

Sunbaenim

581

The man who attacked you...

582

Oh...has something come out?

583

His face came out on the hospital CCTV

584

I checked the database right away, but

585

there is no one matching in the database.

586

Oh, and from the fight last time,

587

there were remaining fingerprints on the wall.

588

- You looked it up, right?- Yes, but nothing came up again.

589

What do you mean there's nothing?

590

A foreigner.

591

Foreigner?

592

He doesn't have fingerprints or other records.

593

No wonder. That's why he's walking around in broad daylight.

594

He even walks around the hospital full of CCTVs. Wielding a knife.

595

Looking at his skills, he could be a professional killer.

596

Then from the looks of it, there's a high possibility that he killed prosecutor Lee Jae Joon.

597

Do we have to turn this over to the police or not?

598

Not yet. We have to keep doing it.

599

What?

600

Things got more difficult.

601

Yes. Detective Kang, you have to be more careful.

602

I have somewhere I need to go right now.

603

Yes.

604

Okay, I'll call.

605

Yes.

606

What a headache you are.

607

Here. Eat this and get lost.

608

Yeah.

609

What?! Why are you telling me that now?!

610

Send Money

611

Yeah.

612

I sent it now.

613

Well, for me, eating castella

614

and choking from it, it's the most annoying thing in the world.

615

Don't you earn a lot of money working for loan sharks?

616

You should eat a nice dinner then.

617

Why do you keep following me?

618

I wasn't following you.

619

I ran into you here by coincidence.

620

Coincidence my ass.

621

Why? Because I might take all of my brother's compensation money?

622

Is that why you're watching me?

623

- Someone told you to do that?- Would I do something about that?

624

According to the law, the person who's supposed to get it should get it.

625

- Then why do you keep...!- Hurry up and get examined.

626

If you stop in the middle, it becomes worse.

627

What the?

628

Did I kill a person or commit robbery?

629

Why did you look into my private life?

630

I'm not an idol sasaeng fan or anything.[saseng fan -- an overboard, extreme fan]

631

When did I look into your personal life?

632

Then why exactly are you doing this?

633

Because if I keep looking at you, you might look like a human.

634

From the first time I saw you, you didn't look human to me.

635

But that doesn't mean you look like one now.

636

The method of making a human being out of someone who is not even human...

637

Being next to them, giving moral lessons and scolding them...

638

I don't think that's the way.

639

Even if they're not human, you should look at them as one.

640

That seems to be the best way.

641

Since I've looked at you enough, I won't follow you anymore.

Lee Woo Chul (31)Gyeonggido location active firefighter

644

Spinal cord paralysis. Steroid.

645

Analgesia

646

Anesthesia

647

Steroid

648

CIPA

649

assymetry

650

Central Cord Syndrome Anterior Cord Syndrome Brown-Séquard Syndrome

651

Okay.

652

Hello? Yes, Detective.

653

Catch your breath.

654

Yes. Um...

655

I have a favor to ask you.

656

Tell me anything.

657

I want to ask you to look into someone's background.

658

Who?

659

This was such a rare case, so it look some time for me to put it together.

660

Lee Woo Chul had a condition even more rare than CIPA.

661

Tell me.

662

Lee Woo Chul was a Brown-Séquard Syndrome patient.Damages to the spinal nerves causing paralysis on one side of the body.

663

Brown-Séquard?

664

There's only a thousand cases in the world.

665

Yes. Brown-Séquard is a rare spinal condition.

666

It usually occurs when a part of the spinal cord becomes damaged.

667

Doesn't that cause paralysis to the whole body?

668

No, this is a really rare condition.

669

So it only paralyzes the side the spinal cords were damaged.

670

So even with Lee Woo Chul, he was paralyzed

671

only on one side, and he couldn't feel pain.

672

Right, it's called asymmetrical paralysis.

673

Usually, when your neck or back

674

has suffered serious injury, this occurs after.

675

The paralysis comes with weakening of perception and loss of senses.

676

Then with respect to the cause and the effect of the affliction, it's similar to CIPA.

677

That's right. Oh, and...

678

This disease stays inside your body for a long time.

679

Even if the injury that damaged the spine becomes healed.

680

In the end, the disease made Lee Woo Chul into a good firefighter.

681

Conclusively, yes. But it also led to his death.

682

Is there also a link to the cause of death?

683

Yes. Last time I said that if Lee Woo Chul had CIPA,

684

shock from high fever might be the cause of death.

685

That can also be a factor. But there was something more important.

686

This condition constantly degenerates and weakens the muscles.

687

It also makes blood flow extremely irregular.

688

However, up until a certain point, one cannot realize this.

689

But if a serious problem occurred with the blood flow,

690

a problem occurs in exchanging O2 and CO2.

691

In the end, it leads to acute respiratory failure.

692

While extinguishing the fire and rescuing people,

693

Lee Woo Chul was under extreme stress for 10 hours.

694

When that stress lifted all at once,

695

a problem occurred in the bloodstream.

696

And he ended up dying of respiratory failure.

697

That's such a pity.

698

Only if he had known his condition.

699

No. Lee Woo Chul knew.

700

His condition.

701

I looked into his past medical records.

702

He was administered with high doses of steroids. Of course, this is a controversial treatment method.

703

Oh, and the medicine found in his cabinet was a pain killer for his spine.

704

If he was examined, the doctor must have told him about that possibility.

705

Then why?

706

This condition...

707

It's not covered by national insurance for rare diseases.

708

That means the treatment fees are really expensive.

709

So he didn't get treatment to save money.

710

- For his younger brother.- Yes.

711

And also...

712

This was the same for his brother Lee Woo Min.

713

What do you mean?

714

Why did you make me come here?

715

You look more like human today.

716

I asked you why you made me come here!

717

There's something you should know.

718

Your brother left this world, but

719

you should clearly know why.

720

Mr. Lee Woo Min. Listen carefully to what I say.

721

I'll explain everything for you.

722

You were wrong about your brother's condition.

723

The symptoms were similar.

724

And I'll apologize for misunderstanding you.

725

Right. You were a human being from the start.

726

The place you urgently sent money to, two days ago.

727

It was a place you were sponsoring for a long time.

728

Rare disease foundation for children.

729

I looked into it.

730

That day, a child had to have urgent surgery.

731

And needed money for surgery.

732

But because of insufficient sponsor money,

733

you went to send them money to fill in the rest.

734

Is the child better now?

735

It was a foundation that sponsors children

736

who suffer from diseases since they were young, just like you.

737

You sent them money consistently every month.

738

And you also sent them your brother's compensation money.

739

Besides your money transfer records,

740

your savings records stood out.

741

I looked at your account records,

742

and it was named "Superman."

743

- That's...- That refers to Lee Woo Chul, right?

744

Your older brother.

745

Weren't you saving up money to fix his disease?

746

All the while, you ate bread at the park for dinner.

747

My brother's condition...

748

It's because he suffered a big injury to his spine?

749

Yes. It's a really old injury.

750

I...only had my brother.

751

There was only him.

752

I brought the shoes.

753

We were almost adopted by different families at the orphanage.

754

Thank you. Thank you.

755

I really hated that, and I asked him to leave the orphanage.

756

Woo Min!

757

My brother didn't want to be separated either, so he left the place.

758

And since then, he lived for me.- Eat a lot.

759

Hey! Get up!

760

Just as we thought, the world was brutal. No, it was far worse.

761

That was the same wherever we went.

762

Hey it still doesn't hurt? How about this? Get up!

763

But my brother was fearless.

764

He must've been afraid inside, but he never showed it.

765

And while living like that, I caught an eye infection.

766

It was so itchy, so I scratched it all night.

767

Without knowing that I was damaging my eye.

768

Stop scratching, are you okay?

769

But I couldn't feel pain.

770

Hyung found out and I went to the hospital, but it was already too late.

771

So I lost my sight.

772

But I didn't blame my brother.

773

Nevertheless, he lived all his life with guilt.

774

It really wasn't his fault.

775

What happened?

776

Now that I think about it, he was a child.

777

Such a young child.

778

But that child...always devoted himself to protect his younger brother.

779

It won't open.

780

And at that moment...

781

Woo Min!

782

- Woo Min, are you okay?- Yeah, I'm okay.

783

He suffered a big wound.- Hyung, are you okay?

784

Yeah, I'm good.

785

The wound that pained him all his life...he got it at that time.

786

Are we going to die now?

787

No, the fire-fighters will come save us.

788

But my brother always smiled.

789

He never cried even once.

790

When I think about it, he was my Superman.

791

No matter where and what happens, he was the Superman who always protected me.

792

I am Superman.

793

By chance...

794

Did you purposely go astray because your brother might feel guilty?

795

At one point,

796

I just did bad things.

797

So that he can hate me.

798

Only then...I felt like his guilt may go away.

799

But he has never hated me even once.

800

Seeing that, I misbehaved more because I hated it.

801

If you knew his heart, why didn't you get along like before?

802

No...

803

Then I'll become a burden again.

804

You know this.

805

Even without me, you know how difficult his job is.

806

Right. But still, all this time...

807

Your feelings towards your brother hasn't changed, right?

808

At least once...I should've told him.

809

That it wasn't my real feelings. I should've told him.

810

I, so far up to now...

811

didn't know what pain was.

812

But I think I can feel it now,

813

what pain really is.

814

- Mr. Lee Woo Min.- Yes.

815

I have a gift to give you.

816

This afternoon, a cornea donor came forward who is a perfect match for you.

817

This is the long-awaited result of your brother applying and waiting.

818

Your brother must still be Superman, even in another world.

819

Oh right, you should show him that.

820

Woo Min!

821

Hyung.

822

I'm sorry.

823

When we were young, I couldn't really pay attention to you because of my part-time jobs.

824

I tried to fix your eye too, but a donor hasn't showed up yet.

825

If my eye was a match, I would've given it to you right away.

826

Hey, I thought it was possible among blood siblings.

827

I'm sorry about your eye.

828

Because of me...

829

Hyung...

830

Oh! If you look in the box, my account book is there. I couldn't save up much...

831

But if you find it, don't use it on anything else. Hold onto it

832

and use it for your eye transplant. You must do that.

833

Your eye has to recover soon, so I can leave somewhere far with my heart at ease.

834

Isn't that right?

835

Even though I've never said it, I'll say it for the first and last time,

836

I love you, my lil bro.

837

Hurry! Hurry up and give it!

838

Hurry up and give it to me!

839

- Hold on...wait.- I'm going to take it off.

840

Alright.

841

Take it off now.

842

- You want to wear this that bad?- Yeah.- Okay.

843

Hey, I'll take it off for you because you're Woo Min.

844

It's 119 Rescue Team. If you wear this, you'll become a rescue member.

845

- Really?-Of course, you rascal.

846

- Okay, let's see.- How do I look?

847

Since long ago, there has been research on what makes humans into superhumans.

848

It will probably continue on.

849

But I thought about what really makes people into superhumans.

850

Hey Woo Min! Get in there.

851

It's okay, just film him.

852

The answer is simple. It's humans themselves.

853

No devices or chemicals can surpass the human's emotional function.

854

And to humans, there's a protective measure for the emotional functions.

855

A very strong antibody.

856

Say cheese!- Smile.

857

Memories. That's what it is.

858

- Ahjussi!- Yes, Da Mi.

859

Are you perhaps?- He's my dad.

860

He arrived from US today.

861

I've heard so much about you and also, thank you.

862

- For taking care of my child.- Yes.

863

She said that?

864

She says she really want to see her mom.

865

You should know where her mom is, right?

866

I don't know yet, but I think I can find out.

867

I'm sorry if I'm being too forward, but...

868

Why did her mother leave when she was a baby?

869

That's a matter between married couples.

870

It will be difficult to explain.

871

I'm sorry. I asked you a personal question.

872

Still, I hope her mom will come by at least once.

873

Is there a problem with Da Mi by any chance?

874

Nope, not currently but you never know what the future holds.

875

There are symptoms that cannot be diagnosed.

876

And that sometimes hint at danger.

877

I think it's time for you to come.

878

I think he found out something.

879

Detective Kang!

880

Subtitles brought to you by the GQ4 Team @Viki.

881

- What?- Because I like you.

882

Me too.

883

The guy who came to the factory...did you verify his identity?

884

- Ah, you startled me!- Sunbaenim, can you keep it a secret?

885

She's Choi Seo Yeon, a pianist.

886

She died in the exact posiiof her playing the piano.

887

All the things filmed secretly were exposed.

888

He was always watching at a close distance.

889

That reporter guy knew something.
