Wait a bit! I'll be there soon - Joon Hyung
I know you are there! Come out!
Wake up!
Ah! Anyone there?
A call - from Joon Hyung
The National Scientific Criminal and Investigation Laboratory established regional Forensic Scientist office in 5 college hospitals.
From those forensic scientist office, only the one in Hanguk University takes the case regarding rare diseases and holds individual investigation
Case 8, Last Present
Yoon Jung
Oh yes.
Can you check the fingerprints on this?
Hm? Where did this CCTV camera come from?
A police acquaintance of mine asked me a favor.
They could have done it themselves.
I know...
I guess they have their own reason.
Thank you!
Okay.
Dr. Han!
Name: Kim Shi Eun, age 20
She is currently a freshmen in a university.
She died alone watching a movie.
Cause of death?
The first autopsy says sudden myocardial infarction.
And why are they asking for a second autopsy?
To find out the relationship between myocardial infarction and SUDEP.
What about SUDEP?
There is no clear reason for the myocardial infarction.
Also, the body condition plus the brain condition
when she was first found tells us that there is a possibility of SUDEP.
There are some symptoms of suffocation.
It doesn't seem like suffocation...
If you just look at the situation, it could be SUDEP.
But they haven't done a complete medical examination, right?
Yes.
If it's myocardial infarction and SUDEP,
it is not a normal complication.
Do they have family history of SUDEP?
No, no family history. This was the first time.
Dr. Han! Epilepsy is your specialty, right? What do you think?
Dr. Han?
Yes!
Um...
Cause of sudden and unexpected death of epilepsy can be
.. there's a lot!
Brain damage, infection in the central nerves
Brain stroke, brain tumor and so on...
and what else are there.
Anyway, all we need is a complete medical examination.
Oh, and the heart!
Heart is...
I'm not sure about that one.
Oh, that absent-minded attitude...
- I'm not a character with much depth.
- Is there a possibility that we may never know the cause of death forever?
If it was a crypto epilepsy, that is a possibility.
Wow, Sung Do!
What if it also isn't epilepsy?
Then all we can say is that it was a sudden unexpected death.
This might be irrelevant. But, what movie was she watching?
It was a comedy.
How can you die while watching a comedy?
That is rude!
I'm sorry.
Now. Everybody.
Let's start now.
First, the cause of death is myocardial infarction.
But, if you look at the brain,
there is no possibility of SUDEP.
But there is a higher possibility of suffocation.
It is hard to find out the cause of the suffocation.
So we need a overall complete medical examination.
Do the brain check, just in case.
But it looks much bigger than a normal myocardial infarction.
There seems to be no problem in her artery.
That's odd.
Wow, Sung Do, you are better than normal today!
If you perfectly analyse it like that, then there are no lines left for me!
Anyway, I agree with Sung Do. The oddest thing is that there was abnormality in the whole heart,
without any other related symptoms.
I think we have to first analyse the causes for sudden death.
Should I also ask for drug test, brain test, and biopsy MRI?
Wow, you have learned a lot while you've been here.
Go ahead and do all that.
Yes.
I said that we don't need an autopsy. Why are you doing a second one and suffocating us?
You! What are you people?
Shi Eun's mother, for the deceased, we will try our best to find the cause of death in...
Since when have you actually done all that for us?!
My Shi Eun, she is just a paper work for you guys.
Mother, there seems to be some misunderstanding.
We don't work like that,
we all work with a sense of duty!
That's enough.
You said that there are things to investigate.
Please get it done as soon as possible and get out.
I understand her feelings,
but she is just being too harsh on us.
How heart-broken must she be in order to be like that. You are not a parent, so you don't know.
Do you have a hidden kid somewhere?
How do you understand her?
Stop staring at me like that. A laser might just come out. You just can't take a joke as a joke!
There are no pictures of her smiling.
Looking at the mother, the mother must have been really harsh on the kid. That is why she won't smile.
Dr. Han you always get scolded by the headmaster,
but you smile all the time.
When did I always smile? I, sometimes, smiled.
It is a medical card from a hospital.
You were Shi Eun's uncle.
Yes, I was her doctor and she was
a daughter-like niece to me.
You must be really sad.
Not as much as my sister...
Where was Shi Eun sick?
She had autism since she was three. It was a miracle for her to actually do all the school stuff.
But she didn't perfectly adjust. So she sometimes suffered from depression.
Then did she ever suffer from epilepsy or had a bad heart?
No, except for her mental status, she was perfectly healthy physically. That's why I was also surprised when I heard that it was SUDEP.
I'm sorry, but may I see her medical records and prescriptions?
I think it was a good thing that someone close to her was a doctor. If it wasn't for him, it would have been hard for her to come out to the world.
Hmm...
What's wrong?
Something's a bit off.
The doctor said that she had depression. But there are no prescription for anti-depressant or any other drugs. But she went to the hospital very often.
Also, the uncle works in the cardio building. If she had to go to the hospital, she should have visited the mental building.
Maybe the uncle connected her to another department to check on her.
That is a possibility, but...
I guess that's it then.
Don't eat all the cheese rice roll.
What?
Eat this tuna rice roll. I don't like fishy smell,
so I don't eat it.
What? You will get used to it if you eat it.
Then you shouldn't have ordered it from the beginning!
She was mostly alone. She never attended any school activities.
You know that we have a school activity at six today, right?
She didn't answer even when we were the first one to talk to her. She also ate alone. So who would like her?
Did she ever look sick?
Yes. Outer appearance wise, she seemed okay.
Oh right, I saw her smile just once.
Three or four days ago, I guess
It wasn't a big smile...
But it was the first time I saw her smile.
It seemed like she had a boy friend.
Depression is really scary,
but people just don't understand that.
It would have been easy if she opened up first.
But that's not as easy as you think.
It is hard to spill out your heart to someone.
And even if you do, people stereo-type you.
Oh right, then are we going to visit the boyfriend now?
I asked to check the number,
so we will soon get a call.
Wow... even when she was so dull, I guess she did have guys around her. Thanks to her pretty looks.
Even when you are pretty, with bad characteristics,
it just won't do.
Oh, that is why you don't have a boyfriend?!
Why it's true! You are pretty, but you always get mad and throw your fist...
Hmm...I just said that you are pretty and you didn't deny it! You are a bit of a narcissist!
Then what should I do? I am born this way!
What... Detective Kang! Narcism is must worse than depression!
I first met her here I worked a part-time job.
She always came at the same time, looked outside the window with a blank face, and then just left.
I started to like her. So I talked to her first.
I'm sorry. But... can I be your friend?
Shi Eun! In MT
That's how we started to see each other.
But it wasn't easy to get close to her.
She never smiled or got mad...
It seemed like she had no feelings.
But she smiled for the first time.
That is how we started to love each other. She also trusted me. But...
Why are you doing this to me?
I need to know the reason!
Reason? I don't like you.
I don't like you even more because you are with Shi Eun.
So tell me why you don't like me!
Get away from Shi Eun. This is the last warning.
So, she wouldn't tell you why?
Yes.
Did you guys see each other without her knowing?
We gave up each other a week and then started to see each other again.
That was... my birthday.
But... I couldn't keep the time promised
because of my part time work.
If I had been there on time, she might be alive...
Look, even if you try to stop them,
they'll find a way. There always is a way.
If they really did break up, I would have been disappointed.
Wow, you know what a love is?
Yes, Yoon Jung?
Yes, I'll be there soon. Okay.
Did something happen?
No, I said that I would help with the biopsy. I have to go now.
You can't play games while pretending to help, okay?
Okay!
This is the owner of the fingerprint I found on the camera.
Name Shin Yong Hoon, age 29, he is NSOK security guard.
But why did the police ask you to do this?
I will tell you when everything is over. Thank you.
This is Han Jin Woo from the Hanguk university.
I need the last record of Shin Yong Hoon's place of duty.
Training process, JB building, DS trade center, Hanguk University.
Hello, is this Shin Yong Hoon's phone?
Don't call me.
What?
Hello? Hello?
He was on duty. But, he died around 5 am in a car accident.
They said that he crashed into a tree as result of his mistake... But it just doesn't make sense.
What? You really didn't find anything?
According to the biopsy, there were no abnormalities and also her brain was fine.
Then it means that it can't be epilepsy...
What about drug test?
Something that we didn't expect was in her body...
It was therodiphyne.
Isn't therodiphyne used to strengthen your blood pressure?
Why is that in her body... complicating thing?.
Really... why did she take that? Is there any possibility of side effects?
Looking at the amount, it isn't enough to cause any side effects.
Dr. Han
Yes?
You okay?
I drank too much yesterday...
So, it seems like the sky is just falling on me!
Stop drinking, huh?!
Yes.
Don't you need a prescription for therodiphyne?
Yes, you can't get it usually.
I prescribed it for her.
Why didn't you tell us?
I didn't think that it would cause any problems.
She is usually psychologically unstable. And recently her blood pressure soared suddenly,
so I gave her the prescription.
Why did her blood pressure go up?
There was no evident reason. Sudden rise in blood pressure often occurs in normal people as well.
Is that medicine related to Shi Eun's death?
No, but we are just asking out of curiosity. Any drug can have its own side effects.
Then, is that the cause of death?
We can't be sure about that.
Look, why are you bothering me with something that you aren't even sure of?
If you were offended, we apologize.
Take a look at this. Good, isn't it?
We can use that for firewood.
"Kid with Wood Skin "
You think that is funny?
You ever thought of those people's pain? You don't have to feel bad, at least, have some sympathy!
But you laugh? You think all this is funny?
I think we pushed her too much. We have nothing concrete.
Maybe I'm paranoid or something. Why do I feel like she is hiding something from us?
You are going to the office, right?
Yes.. oh right! I need to visit some place.
You act alone a lot these days.
Where are you going?
You now try to control my personal life.
I'm just asking out of curiosity...
What do you mean by control?
Anyway, you want to be with me too much.
Stop trying to control me!
- Is that Sung Buk Police station?
- Yes, I'm in charge.
We did the biopsy. Dr. Han Jin Woo? I never heard of that name. We never asked for consult.
Who is it?
It's Yoon Jung.
Oh, Yoon Jung! Hold on!
You always eat snacks, fast food,
or meat all the time, right?
How did you check my eating habits?
Not only my eating habits, but my angel digits are also very high.
There is only one reason for my visit today. For your vitamin and dietary fibre.
Go ahead.
I am going to cry! I never cried because of some fruits!
Thank you.
You don't look very good these days. You seem to lack sleep as well.
No, I'm fine.
What do you mean okay? Your dark circles are down to your cheeks!
That is because I didn't wash my face.
If you don't feel well, ask anybody.
We have doctors all around here.
I'm fine.
Why am I so itchy?
You feel itchy?
What? Um...
That's weird...
Dr. Han,
are you okay?
Yes, I'm...
Dr. Han! Oh!
Dr. Han! Dr. Han!
It's ER, right? This is Han Jin Woo's room.
If you have a doctor there, send one immediately...
Doctor!
How long did my heart stop?
About 30 seconds.
Was I stiff?
No, it seemed like epilepsy. Do you have kiwi allergy?
No, this is the first time.
Yoon Jung, can I ask you a favor?
You want this to be a secret, right?
You are hiding something, right?
No, I'm not.
Then what about the exodaphine?
Why are you taking that? And what about checking dead Shin Yong Hoon's fingerprints?
At least you can tell us.
You can tell us what is wrong with your body and what you are trying to find out!
You don't trust us?
Please, I ask you. Before I tell them,
please keep this a secret.
Also to Detective Kang.
Dr. Han!
Shi Eun had RAS (Reflex Anoxic Seizures) patient. It was recently discovered, and we only have few patients around the world.
There are not much record of these people and only few died out of this.
In our country, it is the first case
to be found and to have died.
RAS... you mean tumor gene?
This is Reflex Anoxic Seizures. It is one kind of anaerobic seizures.
Because of abnormalities in the artery, the blood created in the heart won't reach the brain.
That causes the brain to be cut off from oxygen, causing brain lesion, and to death.
Like suffocation.
But the blood vessels were fine.
That is the problem. Usually it is fine, but it then causes all those things, and goes back to being normal again.
That is the reason why we couldn't find the relationship between the heart and the brain.
Then there is no cause of death?
Yes. That is why it is so lethal and scary.
Where did you get the hint?
You know how I am, sometimes, very smart.
Dr. Han!
Then a RAS patient cannot ever be happy,
scare or even sad.
Why? Because the emotional change can cause shock.
If she even smiles too much, it can cause paralysis.
Then the reason why she died in a theatre ...
Yes, ironically, she died watching a comedy.
While she laughed, her heart beat started to raise, and shock came which caused her to die.
It is possible for Shi Eun.
Wow, that is a big news. If you can't smile or be sad, how can a person live?
Why didn't you tell us that she had RAS?
How can a doctor hide his patient's disease?
That is something serious!
If the hospital knows about this, you will be punished!
Of that, I am not afraid. I wanted to protect my niece.
Is it a crime to not tell you?
At the current state, no. But, if we had known the cause of death earlier, we would have had no suspicions.
The most important thing is for all of us to know the truth.
The kid is gone and we are left here.
That is the only truth.
Why did I not tell you?
She is a kid who couldn't laugh or cry when she wanted to. And, she died being like that.
There is a rare disease like that. And she died, while watching a comedy, from a heart attack.
I didn't want to make any news for the media.
I didn't want her to become attention
for gossip, after her death.
While she got no attention when she was alive.
I didn't want to hear people sympathize with her, without feeling.
We were in pain forever.
But do we have to go through another kind of pain,
even after death?
But, people understand only when they know everything.
Understand?
You would know well, as a doctor.
Would the world understand those who suffer like Shi Eun?
The society would give her no extra benefit and the hospital treats her like money. So, understand?
Please see the world for the way it is!
This world was hell to her right,
immediately upon her birth.
Shi Eun! Shi Eun!
The things that you understand in your mind,
they are nothing.
The pain was same for her and for the family.
They won't support the medical fee?
Yes, since there are so many special medications.
That is because the kid is just so sick.
Nonetheless, without knowing the disease,
only high priced medicines are being prescribed,
so we can't do anything for that.
Shi Eun's father said that it was his own fault.
He drank everyday and eventually, died of cancer.
I couldn't even tell Shi Eun about her father's death.
I was afraid that death would lead to another death.
- You came Shi Eun?
- Where is dad?
Dad? Oh...
After Shi Eun's father left like that, our family suffered even more because of all the medication that wasn't supported by the insurance.
We had no way. But thanks to my brother, we could get her treated.
Shi Eun? Shi Eun?
For Shi Eun, the treatment wasn't enough.
I tried to disconnect her with the world,
so I won't make her unhappy.
But I couldn't leave her like that. That just wasn't the way a person should live.
You can't be happy, or sad, or even scare. Understand?
Why?
Don't talk back. Just do as I tell you. Okay?
Mom...
I trained Shi Eun not to have any emotional rollercoaster.
Shi Eun, that is not funny.
Shi Eun, that is not sad.
Shi Eun, that is not scary!
I made her a doll so that she could live.
Is there something going on in your family?
She won't smile and won't express her emotions.
She also won't get along with her friends.
I thought I had perfectly succeeded.
But I couldn't stop her from that feeling.
That feeling that you just can't stop...
- I tore them apart, but that wasn't the end.
- I told you to not see her anymore!
Shi Eun!
Mom, my heart aches so much...
No, you shouldn't feel that! No!
I couldn't stop her anymore.
So I just acted as if I didn't know.
Mom, what is this?
I went to the department store and thought that it would suit you well. So I bought it.
Thank you.
Shi Eun, are you going to a school activity?
Yes
Take care of yourself, okay?
Wait a bit, I'll be there soon. - Jun Hyung
I miss you so much! I'm really sorry,
Wait for me a bit more! - Jun Hyung
A call from Jun Hyung
If she loved, and was happy, I was sure
that it would be more brutal to her.
But all I could do was just ignore,
since that was the best happiness for her.
That was the last present I could give to Shi Eun.
Doctor ...
People say that your pain lessens if you share it,
but that doesn't seem to be the reality.
It seems like it will just grow like cells.
Yes, even only in our country, there are 110 kind of rare diseases that 200 million people are suffering from.
If you count the family as well, more people are suffocating.
But as Shi Eun's mom said, the world is doing nothing for them. They just watch and give them more pain.
Rare disease is something that you can happen to anyone or any family.
So, why is the world so ignorant about it?
People are not ignorant about rare diseases.
But they are ignorant about humanity.
I came into turn myself in.
I came to turn myself in!
What did you do?
I kill...
You killed a person?
No!
Are you kidding me?!
I didn't kill a person, but I am going to.
What?
There is only ten minutes left.
Three more people are going to die. But don't take too much exodaphine.
You bastard! Tell me!
