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 rights.
Case 09, Thanatos part 1
I came to turn myself in.
I said, I came to turn myself in!
I'm here to turn myself in!
So what did you do?
I kill...
Did you kill a person?
No...
Are you kidding me?!
I didn't kill a person.
But I will...
What?
You have 10 minutes left!
Go! Where do you think this is?
If you are bored, go play games. You want to get busted?
You little brat!
One minute passed now!
Oh gosh... Why the fuss early in the morning!
Hey, Detective Oh ...
Yes
Come here.
Let's go now.
Let's see.
Whose hair is this?
This is a new style, you know.
Oh, Professor!
Do you know where Dr. Han is?
He doesn't pick up his phone.
He said that he will come to the office later this afternoon since he is sick now.
Is that so?
I guess he had a lot of alcohol last night.
If he comes out, I will kill him.
Oh gosh...
Okay, thank you.
Bye, Sir!
Did something happen?
Han Jin Woo!
Han Jin Woo! Are you in there?
Jin Woo! Jin Woo!
Hey, why won't you pick up the phone!
Oh, Jin Woo! What happened?
When did the buzzing in his ears start?
He said that it started last month.
But, he's just telling me now.
Is there a possibility for Meniere's
or auditory nerve tumor?
The symptoms are similar, but, it's not that.
There is no problem.
We can't find the cause even after digging into his brain like this.
Ha... there are some noticeable changes as well.
His left brain is becoming too active.
How many more exams will it take
to know what this is?
We already did enough tests.
It doesn't feel good. If he has that much pain in his ears,
he might have to suffer greater shock from now on.
I just couldn't eat anything for the whole day
because of this examination!
Professor, what do you say about morning pig stomach soup?!
Hey!
Oh, you scared me! Why are you screaming at me!
Did I not tell you to tell me when symptoms arose?
From now on, you need to get tested every week.
Also, don't take exodaphine and things like that!
Yes sir!
You... What happened?!
I'm sorry.
But I bought this for you guys!
Wow! Why didn't you buy the ones that you can actually put on your fingers!
Wow, you scared me!
You want to get busted?
I won't do it again. If I ever drink again, I am a dog!
Yellow dog! I am not Han Jin Woo,
but Hwang (Yellow) Jin Woo!
Go ahead and sit down.
Then shall we dig in?
Someone's going to die! A human!
She is really dead...
Who is he?
I think he is crazy. He was here from few hours ago
and keeps on repeating that.
He said something about killing a person.
Anyone related?
No one.
The address is even different. He was hospitalized for five years for arson caused by his autism.
I couldn't keep him more with me, so I called the hospital.
Someone's dead.
Let him be! If you talk to him,
he will become more weird.
Where do you live?
That's not important.
That is important. If you don't tell me, you have to go to the hospital.
Again? I don't like hospitals.
Then stop fooling around and just tell me....
hmm, Jung Ha Yoon.
Go! She will be dead by now!
Hurry Detective Kang!
You know me?
That is not important now!
Go! Detective Kang Gyung Hee!!
Sir, please come this way.
There are no external injuries.
But the awful thing is, that she has no fingerprints.
Why doesn't she have fingerprints?
I think someone melted it with some substance.
That means that they intentionally didn't want us to find out who she was.
Did you kill her?
Yes.
Who is the victim?
Guess.
You're really going to act like this?!
Isn't your job to find out if I don't tell you?
You little bastard!
Sir...
Then, why did you kill her?
She just asked you why you killed her!
There is no reason for a human's birth.
Then there is no reason for a human's death.
What are you? You really are crazy!
If you don't want to tell us, you don't have to,
since that is also your right.
But you will have to pay more for your guilt.
If I did something bad, then I should rightfully pay for it.
But, how did you know me?
Because you are pretty...
What?
You are pretty!
I like your style, you know!
Are you going to fool around like this?!
I will ask you once more. How do you know me?
It is no fun if I just tell you.
You need to go step by step like a workbook.
Hey!
Gosh, he is driving me crazy.
Then how did you kill her?
Guess! Then I will tell you more.
Three more people are going to die!
We found no external injuries,
from the initial observation.
He melted the fingerprints so that we won't be able to find out who she is.
How can a person like that exist?
Then you are saying that all she had was a very bad rash?
Yes.
Looking from the pictures, it doesn't look like drowning...
Then it could be caused by medication...
We would have to see.
Looking at what he has done, this guy really isn't normal.
Not because he did it like that,
but because he killed a person!
That makes him abnormal!
What about his family and mental disease history?
He has no family and has a record
of being hospitalized for five years...
for a crime of arson.
Maybe this is a typical psychopath. Usually it starts with arson or animal abuse.
To check that out, a profiler will check him.
Profiler or propeller, we shouldn't just let him be.
What worries me the most is that
there are three more to go.
I think he will commit another murder just like this one.
This is a hint for the cause of death.
So I killed her with this.
It is a main component of acid rain.
It corrodes various things.
It can cause you to sweat a lot or make you vomit.
It is found in the tumor of a cancer patient that is critical.
It causes fatal damage even as a vapour.
I think this would be enough.
What kind of poison is this?
Well... I can't tell hearing it like that.
Is he joking?
It is that! Dihydrogenmonoxide!
What is that?
This! Water!
Wow...
There really is nothing. It is very clean.
If, not from external force, then,
death is caused by pain shock or great stimulation.
Then what would cause that shock?
Looking at her skin, it does look like allergy shock...
If, allergy...
Then, maybe, it is water allergy.
The criminal's hint was water.
Yes, that is right.
But, to be more exact, it is not a water allergy,
but an aquagenicalticarior, a water rash.
Can water rash be this bad?
Yes, it can be really bad. This is a very rare case.
Look here.
If it is critical, you can't stand water for even ten seconds. And your skin erupts in a rash like these.
But if you were in water for more than 10 minutes, without being able to move,
Then it can cause great shock and even death.
Let's say that a person, who can't even take a shower for ten seconds, was in water...
Here, let's take a look.
She was abducted and was tied.
Physical pain and mental pain combines...
In a condition like this, you can really die of shock.
Why would he kill a person in this way?
What I am worried about now is
that the next victim will die in a very similar way.
Wow, you got the answer quite quickly.
I guess the hint kind of gave it away?
I will let you fool around only until now.
Tell me your motive and your plan.
Hey, Jung Ha Yoon.
Let's just solve this through conversation.
I will talk, if you bring someone.
Then do you have a lawyer or something?
No.
Jin Woo
What? Who?
Jin Woo!
Doctor Han Jin Woo, from Hanguk University.
Yes, I'll be there.
It is so nice to see you.
Do you know me?
If we look at the sky from the hill
We feel the power of ourselves
and it over flows!
It is me! Jung Ha Yoon! From Sung Guk Elementary school!
We were in the same class from first grade through third grade.
You went to KAIST when you were in third grade.
Of course, you might not remember me.
I was a quiet little boy.
Jung Ha Yoon. I remember. You were always at the very back of the first row.
That is right! You do remember me! Thank you!
But I was never really close to you.
That is true.
Oh right, you once came over to my place.
Do you remember that?
Jin Woo.
What is it?
Um... can you find my home?
How would I know where you live?
I moved here yesterday and now I forgot where it is.
You must be Jin Woo.
Whatever.
What is your reason for doing all this?
No.
Then the story will get too long. You first need to save a person!
Now three more people will die. If you save one person,
then I will give you a very valuable information.
If one person dies...
That's it then.
You are crazy.
Of course, I am crazy
I can't do this if I am not crazy.
You only have three hours left.
I will tell you where I live. Why don't you go there?
There will be good information there.
Before that ...
I will give you a starter hint.
Oh, right.
If you go to my place, will you take care of my little kids?
I, somehow, found this while going through information related to the cause of death.
Jo Yeon Joo, 27 years old. She was taken care of at Derm(matology). But, then she came to Hanguk University's Rare Disease Clinic.
Thank you.
Dr. Han, now we know who the victim is.
Maybe all this is just a coincidence.
Let's first get started.
Isn't that our office?
How can that...
Call the office now.
Why did he put this one dollar bill in the frame?
Anyways he is crazy...
But what is so complicated?
Does this remind you of anything?
Not yet.
This is bad... We only have two hours left now.
Let's first dig into his belongings.
Dr. Han.
Yes.
Did you find something?
No. Umm, don't take the computer hard drive.
Sung Do and I want to take a look at it before the cyber police takes a look.
Okay.
Can you come here?
What is this?
Thanatos...
It is the God of Death in Greek mythology.
What hint is in here?
Dr. Han, did you find...
Auto-immune disease ...
George Washington... laryngitis...
died of excessive bleeding caused by bloodletting.
Excessive bleeding...
Evans syndrome!
Yes, Yoon Jung, can you check if there is a Evans Syndrome patient in your clinic?
Yes, right now quickly. Yes.
Can you explain to us what is going on?
You said that Jung Ha Yoon was treated for autism.
Yes
I couldn't really accept that.
Maybe that is true if I think of his old self.
But, the him today is not at all like that.
Looking at the external appearance
and his conversation pattern.
Then what kind of ability does he have?
Very interestingly, he has a multilateral object recognition ability.
He has a very interesting way of seeing an object.
Now, our eyes look at things 3 dimensionally.
But what we see, that is it.
But, in Jung Ha Yoon's case, he sees the object from all directions at once.
Without himself even recognizing that.
Then is he some kind of a genius or something?
Different, but yes.
But rather than arithmetic operation, he is very good at perceiving an object.
Especially, he must have been really good at electronics or mechanics.
Why? Because his eye itself is a 3D blueprint.
Look at this tree.
he didn't draw the tree as he saw it
But he drew the front, the side, and the back all at the same time.
Just like Picasso's picture that also show us the reflection of lights.
Oh, and one more thing.
Jung Ha Yoon drew a exclamation mark as a hint.
But that was a trap.
If you look at this question mark, as Jung Ha Yoon would, then it looks like a straight exclamation mark.
So, Jung Ha Yoon's hint was not a exclamation mark, but a question mark.
How did you find out the disease with that hint?
This itself was the answer!
Look.
From my perspective, Detective Kang on the left,
Park on the right ...
Detective Oh at 12 o'clock.
This is the last part; the point part of the question mark.
From nine o'clock to three o'clock, and if you connect the dots to me, you get a question mark.
First, the nine o'clock is the starting point. Hamsters that are trying to eat each other.
That means the auto-immune system that kills oneself.
Remember Jess and Jina?
Then is the twelve o'clock about George Washington?
George Washington died of laryngitis.
But it is more understandable
to say that he died of excessive bleeding.
He died of bloodletting, which is supposed to
release the bad blood.
So, within the auto-immune diseases,
Evan's Syndrome is the only one that causes
excessive bleeding.
This disease causes excessive bleeding even from a little scar because of platelet problems.
If he extracted information from our hospital,
the next victim will be a Evan's syndrome patient
from our hospital.
Then what about the train in the three o'clock direction and the CD's over there?
That, I need to think a bit more.
Yes, Yoon Jung.
There are three Evan's syndrome patient in Hanguk University record.
19 year old female, Jang Mi Sook. 27 years old male, Kim Gun Hong. And 33 years old male, Do Wee Suk.
Are there other differences?
Or what about their jobs?
Jang Mi Sook is a student. Kim Gun Hong is an entertainer. And ...
Do Wee Suk is a train engineer.
Oh, and ...
Wait.
Oh okay.
Got it.
He is off duty today. His phone is off and has no home phone.
Let's go to his place.
Let's hurry.
Excuse me
Are you Do Wee Suk's mother?
Yes
Where is Wee Suk?
He went to the arboretum.
That is where he goes when he is off duty.
Which arboretum is it?
Baek Hyun San arboretum.
There are three routes.
It is 17 km in total.
Wow... This is driving me crazy.
We need support if we want to find him.
If he did something similar as to this morning's case,
he must have done it inside a place.
Bungalow!
There are bungalows here.
But there are too many of them.
It is divided into four sectors.
It will take, at least 20 minutes,
for the support to come here.
Let's first spread out and check the bungalows.
Then I will take numbers 1~10 at the top.
Numbers!
It is numbers!
9! It is 9!
- 9?
- Yes. Antonín Dovrák, Mahler , and Williamson. Their common ground!
They all only made up to symphony #9 before dying!
They didn't finish symphony #10.
Dr. Han...
Gosh...
You killed two people. How can you still eat?!
I am sorry.
Sorry? I really want to crush you right now.
Cool down.
He is actually enjoying this situation.
I am not enjoying this.
Detective Kang and Park.
Please, can I talk to him privately?
And please don't listen in on our conversation.
Are you Thanatos?
I really did try hard to make a nice nickname for myself.
To you...
Is human life not more worthy to you
than your hamsters?
That is a very good question.
Jin Woo ...
Do you know who first created the animal protection laws?
Why won't you answer the question when you know it. Hitler made it!
He then banned not only animal experiments,
but also hunting.
Then he killed millions of Jews.
That is what human is.
You! Ow...
Are you sick again?
You are sick quite often these days.
So, don't take exodaphine too much.
If you take it too much,
you will become immune to it.
Then it will be useless.
Mind your own business.
Now isn't it time to tell?
Why did you kill those two people?
Eh, you should have first saved them,
then asked me that question.
Honestly I was surprised.
I thought you wouldn't be able to get the second guy.
It is impressive that you actually found him.
I can't help it.
Sir...
It's fine. We can just say that we heard nothing.
It's fine.
Shin Yong Woon, you killed that guard too, right?
I told him not to pick up your phone.
He just can't work right.
Why do those people, who are not related to us,
have to die?
I know they are innocent.
It's just that they are the victims of the war.
Of course,
killing him wasn't really part of my plan.
Who is the guard?
If you don't want to see any more die
in front of you, get ready!
This time, there is no hint.
It is no fun since you get the answers too quickly.
You idiot!
Hey hey hey!
Tell me! Tell me!
Dr. Han!
Let me go!
Let me go! You come here!
Then good luck!
Why is he doing this to you?
I don't know. I know nothing
So don't ask me anything.
Then... Who is the guard?
Did you listen to our conversation?
Even after I asked you not to?!
That is not important anymore!
Why didn't you tell me?
It is my business.
It is not your personal business! You should have told me first!
Then what would have changed?
You think you and the police would be able to solve all this?
Of course, Dr. Han, the genius should solve it.
But you can't solve everything on your own.
Partially it is my work.
I didn't want to disturb you.
That is not for me, but for your self-righteousness.
If you talk like that! Then I have nothing to say.
You can, at least, once have told me about your sufferings.
Yes, I won't bother you.
You go and solve it on your own.
Even if I am with you, I am just...
that helpless person.
What?
Maybe it is just a very bad headache.
But you don't take exodaphine because you have a very bad headache.
Why would he take that?
I will ask him personally.
Do you know that his heart stopped for 30 seconds because of a sudden kiwi allergy?
When?
Few days ago...
It is your choice, to tell us the truth or not.
But, remember one thing.
As much as he is precious to you,
he is precious to us as well.
Hey! Dong Gyu! Dong Gyu!
Call the ambulance!
Dong Gyu!
Yes sir.
What?
Oh, Professor.
What brought you here at this hour?
I have something important to tell you.
How can we not know what the disease is?
After the symptoms started about a year ago,
we did 50 different kinds of tests.
But there was nothing wrong.
Then you really don't know anything about it?
Looking at how the nerves in his whole body is affected, it looks like it has to do with his brain.
But there is no abnormalities in his brain,
according to the tests.
Then how will it affect his life?
Looking at how the stimulations are becoming stronger and more frequent, it will definitely be fatal to his life.
I also heard that his heart stopped for 30 seconds because of a sudden kiwi allergy.
I think that was also a related symptom.
Is that why he quit working for the Department of Surgery?
Why didn't you tell us before? Why?
I'm sorry...
He pleaded with me not to tell you.
Hey.
Look here.
Jung Ha Yoon.
Where are you?
Come out.
Jung Ha Yoon!
Dr. Han!
What is it?
Dr. Han... What is really going on?
Yes?
She is the third victim. You must hurry.
Why won't you say anything?
Don't you want to save her?
Of course, you must have been very surprised.
You need some time to think this through.
Let go of Detective Kang.
She is not related to us!
She is not related to me. But, she is to you.
You cherish her.
Let go of her right now. I won't stay still any longer.
Oh, my... I guess you still don't know what is going on.
Stop it right now!
You want me to stop?
No.
Condition #1 for being a monster - It is created out of pain.
Condition #2 for being a monster -
You never regret.
If you can't save Detective Kang.
you'll have to die for her.
There is a way.
I can just stop my heart beat.
Dr. Han!
