-= Episode 17 =-
Quickly go to Kang Seo Yeon's apartment.
Find the blue cushion.
We must find the cushion before the police do!
Have you contacted the Prosecutors' Office?
We've been trying our best to reach them.
And?
Because it is a hefty situation, they've been ignoring our calls.
Are they trying to defy me?
Is there a problem? You guys are not allowed to enter here without a permit.
This is a warrant issued by the Seoul East prosecutors' office.
Please excuse me.
The blue cushion that Kang Seo Yeon used to murder Seo Yoon Hyung.
Are there any specifics?
Deep blue.
The CCTV footage shows it in a shopping bag.
The size is about 30x30 cm.
It's embroidered with the English initials of Seo Yoon Hyung and Kang Seo Yeon.
I've seen it in a photo.
It's a photo when Kang Seo Yeon and Seo Yoon Hyung were still happily in love.
You're going to NFS, aren't you?
Let me give you a ride.
No thanks. I'll use my own car.
Why?
Are you afraid that I'll snatch the textile sample that belongs to the Seo Yoon Hyung case?
Don't worry, I'm not here to fight with you.
I'm here to make a deal with you.
That's it.
Those are Seo Yoon Hyung and Kang Seo Yeon English initials.
However this is not enough.
Do you have the fiber sample from Seo Yoon Hyung's trachea.
What deal are we talking about?
At the time of the Seo Yoon Hyung case,
You were working as a police officer.
By using your status as a civil servant, you entered the exhibit storeroom,
and stole the fiber sample.
Concealing evidence of a crime is illegal.
You know that, right?
Are you threatening me?
It's not a threat. I'm just stating a fact.
I can use it as a reason,
to revoke your medical examiner's license.
The day of Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy...
was the first time I met you, Director.
That day ...
Your words made me want to become a medical examiner.
"This person..."
"Why and how did he die?"
"Our duty is to the find the answer without any prejudice or self interest."
"The pressure of the public's opinion and sentiments,"
"individual's greed or any proposal..."
"cannot affect the examination results."
"We are the last hope of the deceased."
Perhaps you, Director,
think that Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon is an idealist.
He's not.
Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon's thinking,
is the right way to me.
I...
I want to become a medical examiner like Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon.
If you want to revoke my license,
do it.
If I must conceal the truth to keep my license,
I will give up being a medical examiner.
Give up being a medical examiner?
In that case...
What about your sister?
I heard that she needs a heart transplant.
Dr. Go Da Kyung isn't answering?
I was on the phone with her earlier, so she may be on her way to NFS.
It's been 5 years, but you haven't given up on her.
It must have been hard for you.
Is there anything more valuable than a heart?
If you give me the sample ...
then ...
I can offer you ...
a final chance.
Doctor!
Has Dr. Go Da Kyung come?
We haven't seen her, sir.
What is it? Prosecutor Jung and Detective Choi, too.
And Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon.
If it's those people, something big certainly is going on.
Let's take a look!
Should we?
Hey...I have an autopsy to perform...
I am Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin from Seoul East.
It's a case where the suspect is on the run.
It's very urgent.
I just received a phone call about it. This is it?
Yes!
But what case does this item belong to?
We suspect that this cushion was used 1 year ago as the weapon in the Seo Yoon Hyung murder case.
It's very urgent.
Ah...
That thing killed Seo Yoon Hyung?
Seo Yoon Hyung didn't die of cyanide.
But wasn't there supposed to be another sample?
- = Attorney Jang =-
Director, how did it go?
Did you get the fiber sample?
Go Da Kyung.
Dr. Da Kyung, where's the sample?
Here.
Are you all right?
Yes!
She rejected the last chance...
to save her sister.
And you just let her get away?
Now what?
If the sample is examined ...
It's the end.
There should be an end to this.
Now...
It should all be settled.
The rules say that you can't be here.
We're just looking out of curiosity.
But still ...
Ah really, are you going to be like this?
I have been working here for 10 years.
When you add me, it's 17 years. Continue.
How about it?
The shape and size of the fibers are consistent.
But I have to do an infrared analysis to be sure.
That will take about 30 minutes.
Yes.
Go Da Kyung.
Is anything happened?
I ...
I've always acted like my sister is already dead.
So, if I receive a phone call saying Da Hee is dead ...
I won't feel sad.
However...
There is still hope in my heart for her recovery.
It's been five years.
Even if she had a heart transplant now ...
she would still be in coma.
Even so, I'm still hopeful.
Actually...
Director Lee Myung Han came to see me.
What did he say ?
He said he would save my sister.
I don't know how he knows about her.
He said he would arrange a transplant for my sister...
if I gave him the sample.
To be honest, I couldn't do it.
I was tempted, although I knew it wasn't right ...
but...
I wanted to save my sister.
I was wrong.
If I had done things right, you would not have this kind of problem.
If I had finished this case well ...
this wouldn't have become so complex.
It was my mistake.
I'm sorry.
Did it come out?
Please, wait for a while.
Are the results coming out now?
Yes, it's coming out.
The evidence was found in your daughter's apartment ...
and transferred to NFS.
The opposition party is preparing a press conference.
Now, it's time for you to make a decision, sir.
How...
How did I end up in this situation...
Are you all right?
Will this be all right?
No.
It's gonna be alright.
I have cried enough to forget.
My sister will be all right, too.
She is strong like me. She'll survive.
Also, if Da Hee had known about this situation ...
she would have agreed with me.
That's great.
I wouldn't be able to make the same decision that you did.
Great, really great.
I told your father before...
that you are a good medical examiner.
And I will tell him again...
that you are a first-class medical examiner.
The result has come out.
It's inconsistent.
The cushion and the fiber sample...
have totally different composition.
What?
What do you mean?
What is the inconsistency?
This is the blue cushion's analysis chart.
This is the fiber sample Dr. Go Da Kyung brought.
Impossible! This can't be!
Resign as candidate?
That won't be necessary, sir
Is the result certain?
It's certain.
Did you inspect it accurately?
The result is not wrong.
That's impossible.
This is definitely not right.
This machine has a problem.
I'll examine it again.
Doctor!
I'll make the inspection myself.
You can insist on another examination ...
but the result will definitely be the same.
No, it can't be! I'm gonna do it myself!
-Doctor. -There's a problem here...
-There's definitely a problem... -Doctor!
I can't believe this.
You came.
Did you bring it?
Need our help?
I'll help with the slide.
Mmm. Okay.
How was it?
Three examinations...
But the result is the same.
The cushion and the fiber sample...
are inconsistent.
Witnesses.
Evidence.
All gone.
It's all over.
Director...
Will this really benefit NFS?
It will.
It will benefit NFS and all of us working here.
I understand. Well done.
Now, all the evidence has...
vanished.
Today, the apartment of candidate Kang Joon Hyuk's daughter was searched.
However, the search was not succesful.
The police did not find anything incriminating.
A spokesman for candidate Kang made a statement.
"As a presidential candidate,"
"I'm subjected to huge pressure."
"I protest the machinations of the prosecutors and my opponents."
On the other hand, the investigation of the murder of Seo Yoon Hyung's manager, Mr. Joo,
is proceeding with the time of death
which is estimated to be 11:00 pm.
Since Mr. Joo's valuables had disappeared ...
the probability of robbery is high.
During all this time, you have worked hard.
Why are you not eating, sir?
If you don't like the food ...
Should I order something else?
Miss Kang Seo Yeon...
Directly or indirectly ...
You have already killed four people.
You killed Seo Yoon Hyung yourself.
Jeong Seok Gun was killed in a traffic accident in the US.
Lee Soo Jung received an electric shock.
And also, Joo Seon Yoo died in a hotel room.
This is a 2 billion won bank account.
It's the price...
of a farewell letter.
It's not for your death.
Just write about the pressure the prosecutors are putting on you.
Then, please leave the country for a time.
This money should be enough...
to start a new life in another country.
Mr. Joo Seon Yoo. This is Yoon Ji Hoon.
Are you making things difficult for me?
The people who died made mistakes.
They got too big for their shoes,
and betrayed me.
Joo Seon Yoo was the last.
I won't give in to you anymore.
I have only endured this for the sake of NFS.
But it ends here.
Tell your father ...
that I hope he is elected smoothly.
Also, the agreement we have...
I do hope he does not forget it.
From now on, NFS will not submit to external pressure ...
but will be an independent institution.
We shall not meet again.
I knew you would be like this.
Didn't you work enough already?
Why? Is it too little?
Don't just look. Eat.
The muffins here are yummy.
Come on.
When your mood is not good ...
sweet stuff is the best.
Your mood will improve.
Your world will be brighter.
It'll come.
Ah really...
Well done.
This, too.
Really...
Is this world worth living in?
I really wanted to arrest her.
This time...
I really wanted to get her...
This world?
Sure it's worth living in.
If there is injustice in this world ...
it's certainly worth living and fixing it.
Seo Yoon Hyung's cause of death is suffocation by oronasal jamming.
It's definitely homicide.
Professor Lee Myung Han was not wrong.
I am not wrong!
What was Yoon Hyung's final appearance like?
Give up. If you don't, all the witnesses will die.
I wanted to save my sister.
Do you know the foundation of NFS's autopsy system?
It's power.
- =1 month later =-
Hello.
Oh, hello.
What's the matter, today?
What else?
A corpse was found in our area yesterday.
Yes?
Yes. Then, good work.
Officer!
Yes?
Did you know that Lee Ho Jin moved?
Yes. I didn't know you were checking on him.
We've been observing him, too.
That makes me feel relieved.
Do not worry.
We contacted the local police in Lee Ho Jin's area.
We told them to keep an eye on him.
I understand.
One week remains until the election. -= D-7: Candidate Kang Joon Hyuk's support level close to 60% =-
One week remains until the election.. -= D-7: Candidate Kang Joon Hyuk's support level close to 60% =-
According to the latest poll ...
Congressman Kang Joon Hyuk of the ruling party...
From the very beginning, she caused trouble everywhere.
They finally ended the investigation.
I wonder how she gets her food down?
How come Prosecutor Jung has not been removed from office?
Didn't they say the Prosecutor General must take responsibility?
So they left her a way out?
4.
And under it?
8.
All right.
This is a side effect of contact lenses.
You should avoid wearing them as much as possible.
But I'm not comfortable wearing glasses.
Then, you might want to consider Lasik surgery for nearsightedness.
Lasik?
You're so pretty when you wear glasses.
I'll think about it.
How many days have we been sitting here?
My body can't take this much longer.
It's that guy...
Right?
Mmm. I'll give the signal.
Let's take him when he gets to us.
One...Two...Three!
Nice timing.
You have the right to speak to an attorney. You have the right to remain silent.
Couldn't you have gone home earlier?!
You didn't come earlier, because
you thought that your crime would wear off?
Why do you make us work so hard?!
Congratulations on your return.
This is all thanks to you, sir.
You all worked hard.
We didn't do much, sir.
Now that NFS is starting out as an independent institution ...
we will be worthy of our reputation as the center of forensic research.
I hope that you will continue to work as hard as before.
Yes, sir.
Autopsy concluded. Please do the suture.
Yes.
She's had that depressing appearance for a month, already.
Must be very painful.
I'm in pain, too.
You? In pain?
Since we kissed, she's not answering the telephone.
But where might Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon be?
- = signed: Yoon Ji Hoon =-
Good of you to come.
When was this discovered?
An hour ago.
A passing driver discovered the body and reported it.
Someone might've died...
Would you please move your car?
What?
Why is that?
The dead have the right to protection, too.
One's death does not need to be a topic of conversation for outsiders, right?
Okay.
He was hit by a car, right?
A few months ago, after a few drinks, he crossed the street and was almost hit by a car.
If he was hit by a car, it happened after he had already died.
Huh?
He was abandoned here when he was already dead.
There are blood stains on his eyelid, and there is sign of strangulation.
He was strangled to death.
Then he was moved here to make it look like a traffic accident.
Eh? How do you know that?
The autopsy will confirm it.
However, it's almost confirmed now.
The phone will show the time of the last call made, yesterday evening.
That can be compared to the rectal temperature.
The estimated time of death is between 12:00 pm and 1:00 am.
If there are any questions, contact me immediately.
Yes, I understand.
-
Does a scene protocol really needs this moral tone?
The entire written text is not basic enough.
Is this a photo of the corpse at the time of discovery?
If you change the body's posture, rigor mortis will change. Didn't you know?
The body posture has not changed, and neither has rigor mortis.
About rectal temperature.
That depends on environmental changes.
Are you now performing on-site verification in contempt?
Or are you imitating someone?
The scene is very important.
But it can also be easily destroyed or falsified.
You don't know?
Do I? I don't know.
They say you are sent out on cases.
They also say you're a pretty good doctor.
All autopsy starts from the crime scene.
You are experiencing this personally?
Where have you been lately?
You don't answer the phone. I went to your house several times, but no one was in.
If you stay at NFS,
you lose contact with the outside world.
I wanted some fresh air. So I've been outside.
Is it hard?
You?
Well...a little.
For me, too...a little.
Take my bag, will you?
Why isn't he calling?
He wants me to call first?
This is not good.
Were you talking to me?
Have you been well?
What are you doing at someone else's front door?
It is not just someone else's.
It is the door of someone I know well.
Have you thought of me, this past month?
What is this...are you out of your mind?
You have thought of me, haven't you?
You're wearing glasses, too.
I haven't thought of you.
And I'm wearing glasses because the contacts started bothering my eyes.
I'm thinking of getting Lasik surgery.
Don't take the glasses off!
If you take your glasses off,
I may not be able to control myself.
I'm not joking, you know.
I...
Prosecutor Jung...
I like you.
I like you a lot.
I told you not to have impure thoughts of me!
I can't even...
Think of you?
That's right.
For now.
I don't know where you get this love philosophy of yours.
But as far as I'm concerned,
I hope the opposite party can maintain a dignified demeanor.
In other words ...
what I am saying is...
Kissing and stuff like that...
it needs a mutually understood foundation.
So you eat a meal together, watch a movie...
Go on dates, several times.
It can be like that.
Yes.
Therefore ...
Today...
We go this far.
Today, only this far.
I left the car there.
I was so bored.
That's why I didn't call for a while.
Oh never mind!
Hanging up.
Ahjushi!
Is this the only pure water you have?
Yes.
Yes, only those.
What kind of store is this, really?
What a dump.
What is it you wish to buy?
If I tell you, will you know?
How much is this?
1500 won.
Keep the change.
She had a card in her wallet, so it will be easy to find out her identification.
Her name is Lee Sa Ra.
A university student.
Are you okay?
It's a traumatic cerebral hemorrhage, right?
The weapon used by the criminal was a hammer.
Correct, too, right?
You know...
A conclusion can not be drawn based solely on outward appearance.
The corpse will be transferred to NFS.
Even if it's the same suspect as in the Goeun-dong case ...
You must investigate first and only judge when it's done.
I don't need an autopsy to see it.
This case...
The case of Woo Sang Eun in Goeun-dong had the same pattern.
The criminal is the same...arrest him quickly.
Go Da Kyung.
Go back to NFS first.
Double check whether the blunt objects used are consistent.
This is the priority.
Could you please confirm whether she's going to NFS?
Huh?
This and the Goeun-dong case...
The perpetrator is the same.
Are you sure?
That person would rush straight into a crime scene.
Stop her before she gets hurt.
Dr. Go Da Kyung... You must really worry about her.
What's more important... Three people have been killed by the same person.
We must stop that.
I understand.
I'll report to my superiors.
And get the investigation started.
Detective Choi.
May I look at Lee Ho Jin's investigation report?
As long as the object can be treated as evidence,
I think it can be discussed.
I understand.
The female college student who was killed yesterday...
Is there any camera footage?
Well...
The area is quite out of the way.
There is no CCTV camera close to that spot.
The hammer head is octagonal.
The angle between the head and the handle is 88 degrees.
It's consistent with the weapon from the previous case.
All right.
Excuse me...
The player who used booth 27 - is he a member here?
Our bags seem to have got mixed up.
May I ask for his contact information?
Bags?
Yes, there's lots of important stuff in my bag.
So I am a little anxious.
Just a minute, please.
- = Lee Ho Jin =-
- = address: Seoul Flower Square, ESP COMPANY=-
Are you with the police?
I am not police.
Why are you investigating me then?
I...
Because I care about the people who were killed.
I have not killed anyone...
...today.
Me, too, today...
I have not found evidence to prove that you are the killer.
But if I find evidence...
You had better be careful in the future.
I won't give up on this.
You think it's a crime without a reason?
It's what happened in the case of Woo Sang Eun in Goeun-dong.
Now there is another case, the female college student in Myung-dong.
I think it's the same perpetrator.
This guy has committed the same crime twice?
Actually...
I actually think it has happened three times.
Five years ago, there was a similar case in Goeun-dong.
A female high school student was subjected to a similar attack.
So that's how it is.
Name, Lee Ho Jin.
His parents are top University professors.
He received junior and high school education at Gangneung.
His grades at school were very good,
but he failed his university entrance tests.
He tried several times,
but was never admitted. So he seems to have given up.
So, he turned to computer games.
He wants to become a game developer.
But he has failed to make it.
A month ago, he had a serious fight with his family.
Now he works temporary jobs.
That's right.
The female student that was killed yesterday...
You said that this guy is the suspect?
Is there any proof?
If there was, I'd have arrested him already,
You think I wanna just sit here?
Our last stakeout just finished.
Now, there's another one.
This is a guy that has killed two people.
No, it might be three people.
Hey, go and buy something to eat.
I am starving.
Why does it have to be me, every time?
If you feel bullied, why don't you be my senior!
Well said!
So, what did you want to ask me?
There are so many questions I would like to ask.
Hey! Over here!
How many hours were you in the hospital?
You think you're the only one with shoulder pain?
Huh...go back to work!
Well then...please proceed.
You know Lee Ho Jin?
That Lee Ho Jin?
He's a very smart and capable person.
However...
A person who commits a crime without a reason...
Has a very disturbed mind.
Such a person might react strongly to a situation ...
that would be ignored by normal people.
He has a major mental problem.
He did submit a game script a while ago,
but it was basically unusable.
It would be very difficult to transform this script into a game.
This is very different from a regular script.
I've worked on this for five years.
It does not matter how you wrote it.
Your script is way too immoral.
It's not only cruel. It's depressing, too.
What's so cruel about it?
Everybody dreams of killing other people.
Hey! I'm not the only one who sees the problems.
Just accept the fact that you have a problem! You!
You're always like this...
Wha...What's this...
Those are general characteristics of people who commit crimes without a reason.
But these do not appear to belong to the category of crimes without a reason.
What do you mean?
Killings can be divided into two categories,
planned killing and impulsive killing.
Crime without a reason falls into the latter category.
The killing was impulsive, unplanned. The killer got carried away.
Most impulsive killings are usually caused by mental problems.
But here is the first female to not make a call.
In the cases of the two female high school students ...
they both called their family members before dying.
It feels like someone is following me!
If the victims sensed the danger before being attacked,
it means they had been followed for quite some time.
So, the killer picked out the victim beforehand.
So these were not impulsive killings.
It's likely they were not crimes without a reason.
May I see the script written by Lee Ho Jin?
Don't take me wrong, but...
There's no need.
But still...
Do we still have Lee Ho Jin's script?
Bring it here.
Here.
Please, take a look.
I am a bit busy...
- = City Hunter =-
Hectic city life and exhaustion has drawn you closer to the temptation.
The freedom of killing people.
At least once you must have wanted to kill someone.
Now, you finally get the opportunity.
First stage of primary task...
Late at night..... A female high school student coming home from school.
You are holding a hammer in your hand.
Before the girl realizes what's happening...
you take away her life.
Mission Clear!
Second phase of the task.
The woman who disqualified you,
in a failed interview.
Primary task, phase three,
a rude woman...
with a good background.
Final phase of the task.
Those who bullied you during your school years....
Ok! Good!
Hysterical female teacher.
How much?
4000 won.
Excuse me, are you a teacher?
Yes, something like that.
Thank you!
Have a good evening.
This is Jung Woo Jin.
What, you finally switched your phone on?
But... Did you come to see me?
Not really.
Since you were so busy, I left.
Carrying out a task, the most important point is...
Be certain your opponent is killed.
Absolutely...
End your opponent's life.
-= Next Episode Preview =-
- I came here to ask for a favor. - So, ask.
Six people have been killed.
Time comparisons may reduce any errors in the autopsy.
By investigating Lee Ho Jin during his high school years,
we should be able to find some clues.
Raise your hands!
Seems like you have a thing going for that woman.
