Episode 10
Are you going to make spicy fish soup?
The icefish is really good this winter.
It doesn't look very fresh.
What do you mean?
Just look at this.
This fish is still alive.
What do you mean it's alive?
Look at it moving.
Wow! What a high quality fish!
It looks so fresh!
What are you doing here at this time of day?
What do you mean?
Ma'am.
The fish here is the best.
You'll know if you try it.
I'll give you a dollar discount.
She's a better salesperson.
You said you're making spicy fish soup?
I'll clean the fish well for you.
What's wrong?
Did you get cut?
No. It's just that...
Move aside.
I'll do the rest.
What are you doing here at this time of day?
I worked until late yesterday, so they said I could take a day off.
Really?
Are you okay?
Are you sure you're not sick?
Come on, I'm the epitome of health!
Dad, I'll be in the back organizing the inventory.
Why aren't you working and calling me?
Are you busy?
Tell me what you want to talk about.
I know it's not about relationship problems. Is this about an autopsy?
Two people were shot to death.
One of the corpses was cremated.
A bullet was found in the other body, but it was confiscated by the prosecutor.
We're not in a position where an autopsy is possible.
There's no way to reveal the truth.
That's always been your weakness.
You just rest on your abilities and blaze forward.
Sometimes, you have to look back.
When you first started doing autopsies,
do you remember what I first told you?
You said it a thousand times-- don't forget the basics.
That's right.
The more difficult and urgent the situation, the more necessary it is to return to basics.
When does an autopsy start?
It starts at the scene of the crime.
But the scene of the crime was tampered with.
The scene of the crime was tampered with.
Why was it tampered with?
It was tampered with to conceal the truth.
One at a time.
With patience.
Look through the tampered evidence.
In the end, the truth will reveal itself.
But you must have an eye for uncovering the truth beneath the veil of deception.
I think you'll be able to do it.
How can I help you?
I'm here to meet Minister Choi.
He has guests right now.
Do you have an appointment?
No.
What's your name?
Please tell him his son is here.
Son?
His adorable son.
I told you not to let anyone in.
But your son is here.
Son?
My son she says?
Of course. Am I your daughter?
So you're here as my son.
Not as a police officer.
I have a favor to ask you.
Are you talking about the shooting in northern Kyeong-gi Province?
So you're saying,
Kyeong-gi's public prosecutor, Park Young Joon tried to cover up the truth behind this case?
Is that it?
Yes.
But your only case against him is the testimony of Kim Jong Ho's fellow gangmember Ji Dong Goo.
It lacks credibility.
First, since he's close to the victim, there's a good chance he forged the evidence.
You claim a U.S. military man was involved, but you don't even know his name or rank.
What about the parabellum bullet?
They won't acknowledge it as evidence.
Ignore it for now.
Dad!
But I looked over Prosecutor Park's investigation materials,
and all the bullets and shells collected from the crime scene for the autopsy were clean.
So you just want us to ignore it?
Is this the best South Korea's prosecutors can do?
The rights of the the dead don't matter at all?
I'm the head of the Prosecutor's Office.
I have the responsibility to resolve all cases with justice.
So are you saying it's not possible?
Just close this case.
Dad!
I've given you my professional opinion up till now.
Now let's talk about my personal opinion.
Jung Woo Jin.
Do you understand this situation?
You're trying to turn in your fellow prosecutor.
You know the nature of the prosecutor's profession.
You may follow your conscience, but no one else will stand by your side.
If you follow your own principles, you might have to resign as a prosecutor.
Can you accept that?
Did you become a prosecutor to follow orders and put innocent people behind bars?
The person I knew wasn't like this.
No matter how hard it was, you became a prosecutor because you had a dream.
Yes.
I want to know the truth behind this case.
Fine. Go find the evidence.
Find the name and rank of the U.S. soldier who killed Yang Jung Soo and Kim Jong Ho.
If you do, I'll take Park Young Joon off the case and transfer it to you.
I understand.
One more thing.
You have to be careful with all things related to the U.S. military.
If you move the higher powers, you move public opinion.
And once you move public opinion, the game starts.
You can be cool sometimes.
But why are you doing this?
Deep down inside, I have a conscience too.
I get you're sending the documents from here since faxes can be traced.
But why are you only sending them out to online media sources?
Because it's more probable it'll be destroyed at newspaper offices.
The internet will be enough to stir public opinion.
Now all we have to do is find the soldier involved in the shooting.
We can look through the military records to find which officer was out on that day.
Oh yeah.
I have to bring over a sample for the autopsy today.
You already did everything.
Oh, did I?
Wait a minute.
Did something happen between the two of you?
Like what?
There was nothing.
What do you mean? Something definitely happened.
What was it? What happened?
Forget it. Just do your work.
What is it? What?
Just tell me.
Stop it, seriously! I said nothing happened.
Yes? This is the NFS.
What do you mean?
What?
Wan Tae.
What is this?
What?
U.S. soldier suspected in northern Kyeong-gi shooting
"The NFS and the Prosecutor's Office Conceal the Truth"?
Oh my gosh, how can this happen?
- Find out who uploaded the rumor online! - Yes, sir!
Just leave it.
Don't panic.
We should have expected this much.
But Chief!
You're the one who performed Yang Jung Soo's autopsy. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Am I right?
Chief.
Did something go wrong during the autopsy?
No.
That's right. Whoever asks, that's the way you must answer.
This case will close tomorrow.
The guilty suspect will leave for America.
Then everything will be over.
Doctor!
Get in. We have somewhere we need to go.
Get out.
This...
That's right. This is the scene of the crime.
What's wrong?
I can't do this.
You should go in alone.
What?
I keep seeing him.
I keep seeing Kim Jong Ho.
Even though I close my eyes and try to forget, he keeps appearing before me.
I must have done something wrong.
You said an autopsy is like listening to the last words of the dead.
He must keep appearing because of the mistakes I've made, right?
Doctor.
I'm afraid.
If this is how it ends, and we don't find out how he died,
I feel he'll follow me for the rest of my life.
Did you feel this way too?
Did you feel this way during the Seo Yoon Hyung case?
We don't have time.
If we can't prove that the U.S. military was involved, this case is over.
They're cleaning the crime scene tomorrow.
I said I can't go in.
I'm too scared.
If we find the truth, he won't appear anymore.
I've felt that way too.
The dead appear in my dreams and follow me.
But if we find the killer, he won't appear anymore.
I need someone who is familiar with the crime scene.
Let's go in.
Since the suspect had access to a pistol,
there's a high probability that he is part of the military police.
First we have to know the ranks.
Shall we start?
Yes.
Let's start with Ji Dong Goo, the sole witness's testimony.
Jong Ho, Jung Soo and Dong Goo visited this place frequently.
That day, Kim Jong Ho and Yang Jung Soo came first.
You're here.
We've already had a couple of shots.
Where are you coming from?
- Let's sit over there. - There?
Weren't those people awesome?
Those people were so awesome.
Why isn't the punk answering his phone?
Try calling again.
Hey! Ji Dong Goo!
Where are you, punk?
Me? I'm here with Jung Soo.
Hurry over. We're having drinks.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
Okay.
Where are you going?
I have an appointment today, so I'm leaving early.
- Be sure to lock the door when you leave. - Okay.
There's a U.S. soldier who's already paid, so you don't need to charge him.
Okay.
Good.
Ji Dong Goo arrives at the bar around 2 in the morning.
What are they doing now?
Good luck.
There were 3 gunshots.
Although the bullets and corpses have been destroyed, there's still one more evidence.
There was definitely a fight between Yang Jung Soo and the U.S. soldier.
I've seen Yang Jung Soo's autopsy photos.
There was a deep wound on his forehead.
But the only blood was from the stains caused by the 2 bullets.
That must mean someone's cleaned up all the excess blood!
That's right.
If the blood stains were removed, there must be some evidence left behind.
Is it luminol*? (*used to detect invisible traces of blood)
Someone capable of disguising a Beretta M9 as a Tokarev
wouldn't have cleaned up the blood sloppily.
They definitely used sodium hypochlorite. (a type of bleach)
If the blood was cleaned with sodium hypochlorite,
then using luminol will be pointless.
Then what's that?
A chlorine detection chemical reagent.
The main component of sodium hypochlorite is chlorine.
If the blood was cleaned with sodium hypochlorite,
then it'll have a chemical reaction with this.
This is the first time I've heard of that kind of solution being used at a crime scene.
It's a first for me too.
But I have discussed this kind of experiment with Jung Byung Do before.
Let's hope it works.
Doctor!
I found it.
I think they cleaned Kim Jong Ho's blood after he was shot.
They had to hide the fact that Kim Jong Ho was hurt
since they wanted to frame him as a criminal.
There's more here.
He was stained with blood after killing two men.
Then he must've tried to wipe the blood off before fleeing the crime scene.
There must be evidence left somewhere.
The floor, the tiles, the wall, the ceiling. We have to search everywhere.
It's just like being part of the Search Division.
Got it.
Has the U.S. military police banquet finished?
Yes. The suspect will be leaving tomorrow morning.
Since the case has been quietly resolved, this should be the end of it.
What happened with Dr. Yoon?
Doctor.
The bloodstains were definitely washed here.
There's a chance that the DNA was removed by the tap water.
It's our only clue. We have to hope for the best.
NOTICE: Water Supply to be Cut Off
January 19th is the day of the shooting.
If the water supply was cut off, the towel couldn't have been flushed down the toilet.
He wouldn't have tried to wash the blood off in the sink either.
The criminal never went to the bathroom.
These are fake.
Who would do something like this?
Someone who's trying to waste my time.
Someone who doesn't want us to find anything here.
Lee Myung Han!
The scene of the crime is more important than the autopsy.
Are you sure you can forge the scene of the crime?
It's perfect.
All traces connected to the U.S. military have been removed.
The real bullet has been destroyed.
No matter how perfect, it wouldn't hurt to be careful.
Dr. Yoon mustn't find any sort of evidence here.
We'll leave evidence for those who are looking for it.
But we'll leave them false evidence to lead them away from the truth.
While Dr. Yoon is distracted by the false evidence,
we'll have time to complete our plan.
We have to start over from the beginning.
They're wasting our time.
If the soldier leaves the country and the case is closed, it's all over.
That's why we need to hurry.
We have no more time!
Didn't you tell me not to give up?
Don't you remember?
The place where the fight first happened.
All we have to do is find that place.
All we've found so far is forged evidence.
Any contact made will leave some sort of trace.
It's something I've heard a lot while I was studying autopsies.
There's definitely evidence left somewhere.
Let's start again from the wall.
I'll take care of that wall.
Doctor.
Didn't you say the left side of Yang Jung Soo's forehead was injured?
If he had hurt his forehead, blood would've dripped onto the floor,
not be splashed somewhere high.
Yang Jung Soo had a wound only on his left forehead.
What if Yang Jung Soo didn't hurt his forehead here?
What if he had been hurt before he came into the bar?
It's possible that it was Kim Jong Ho, not Yang Jung Soo that first fought the soldier.
If it was Kim Jong Ho...
Did you find any kind of wound during Kim Jong Ho's autopsy?
Things were really hectic.
Think it over.
Think about whether there was any wound on Kim Jong Ho's body or not.
From the moment you picked up the scalpel.
I really don't remember.
Think it over. Think real hard.
You have to remember!
His hand! His right hand was cut!
His right hand was cut?
No, the wound wasn't very clean.
It didn't seem like he was cut by something sharp like a knife or glass.
It seemed he was cut by something jagged.
Where on the right hand?
I think it was about here.
If it was around there, it wasn't near an artery.
It wouldn't have splashed onto the wall.
Pull down the blinds.
Doctor! Look!
How could this...
Any contact made will leave a trace.
Even Kim Jong Ho didn't realize he left evidence behind.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
What's with the expression on your faces?
What is this?
Aren't these Yang Jung Soo's autopsy pictures?
Why are you looking at these?
I felt something was strange, so I just wanted to double-check.
I felt it too.
No matter how I look at it, it's strange.
Have you all gone crazy?
Do you all want to end up like Go Da Kyung?
Wan Tae, we're members of the NFS. Aren't we supposed to look for the truth?
The more he talks, the more he starts to sound like Yoon Ji Hoon.
What Dr. Jang says is right. What's wrong with you?
What's this?
Will we have to test the blood samples?
Oh my.
Something did happen between you two.
How come you suddenly agree with Dr. Jang?
Because what Dr. Jang says is right.
Aren't we members of the NFS dedicated to finding the truth?
Really!
Yes, Doctor.
I just sent you a picture.
I want you to take a look at it. It's urgent.
What is this?
Yes.
What is it?
This is a case that happened while you, the Vice Minister, were on leave.
The case has been closed since the suspect has died.
Your signature, please.
- A shooting? - That's right.
Yes. The crime scene, witness testimony, and NFS autopsy results all match up.
But it's been discovered that the suspect has died?
Yes.
The head of the department agreed to close the case after he read the report.
But why has there been no autopsy for the dead suspect?
According to the evidence, there's a 99% probability that the suspect is the killer.
There was also a strong objection from his family.
We're 99% sure that the suspect is the killer.
That's right.
Aren't we supposed to look into the 1% instead of accepting the 99%?
You can't go in!
I'm Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin from the Seoul Prosecution Bureau.
I have something I must tell you.
What are you doing?
It's about the shooting.
Jung Woo Jin. This is my case. Why are you butting in?
Vice Minister, Kim Jong Ho is not the killer, but a victim.
I request that I take on this case.
Jung Woo Jin. Aren't you going to get out?
Hold on.
It seems Prosecutor Jung has something to say, so let's hear what it is.
Yes.
This is new evidence from the scene of the crime.
How did you...
Allow me to explain this evidence.
Hey, Ji Dong Goo! Where are you, punk?
I'm with Jung Soo right now.
What?
Hurry over. We're drinking right now.
Oh. Okay. Hurry up!
Based on the blood we found and the condition of Kim Jong Ho's corpse,
the first to initiate a fight with the U.S. soldier...
Son of a bitch.
...was Kim Jong Ho.
Hey! What did you say, you punk?
Seriously!
Hey. What does this say?
Jung Soo!
The crime scene had been tampered with.
But no matter how much it's been tampered with,
in the end, there will always be evidence.
That's only his personal interpretation.
Of all the witnesses who heard the gunshot, no one had seen a U.S. soldier.
There aren't any witnesses, but there is evidence.
This is an enhanced image of the bloodstain from the NFS's visual analytics lab.
Using this picture, we looked over Camp Halloween's records for who was out that day.
We were able to find the name and rank of the U.S. soldier who killed the two victims.
The U.S. soldier with the matching serial number has a history of violence in foreign countries.
The man who killed Yang Jung Soo and Kim Jong Ho
is a military police officer at Camp Halloween, Officer Justin Cooper.
That's preposterous!
I will do a reexamination myself.
I refuse to accept this evidence.
Of course there must be a reexamination.
Hello, sir.
In the process of investigating this case,
we discovered that Prosecutor Park had attempted to conceal the truth.
We will take over this case from now on.
This is Camp Halloween's order for the arrest of Justin Cooper.
Jung Woo Jin.
This case is now yours.
Who's in charge here?
What's the problem?
What seems to be the problem here, ma'am?
I'm from the Seoul DA's office.
This is a warrant for the arrest of Corporal Justin Cooper.
Sorry. He's not stationed here at Camp Halloween anymore.
What?
He's been reassigned back to the States. He just left for the airport 30 minutes ago.
We're approaching the airport.
Step on it. Hurry!
Hurry! Step on it!
I am Corporal Justin Cooper's attorney.
Do you have business with my client?
Step aside before I arrest you for aiding a murder suspect.
Get out!
- Take him. - Yes.
The former prosecutor from Kyeong-gi is currently being investigated.
They are taking a course of action for all those suspected of being involved.
Not even the NFS can escape the embarrassment of
having produced false autopsy results for this case.
The public continues to be interested in how the aftermath of this case will be resolved.
I hear you fired Dr. Joo.
The doctor who peformed Yang Jung Soo's autopsy must be held accountable.
Shouldn't everyone involved in that autopsy be held accountable?
Do you want the NFS to be ruined?
There's something you and I have both lost this time.
The NFS that both you and I so cherish has fallen to the ground.
The integrity that the organization's prior members built over the years
with their blood and sweat
has been destroyed in an instant.
If trust in the organization has fallen, then we can build it again.
As always, you remain an idealist.
I didn't come here to argue. Please bring her back.
Doctor Go Da Kyung.
She did everything to maintain the integrity of the NFS.
You know that there was no right to revoke her license.
We shouldn't disregard the blood and sweat of her diligence.
This is the only way to restore faith in the NFS. Reinstate her.
Can I give you some advice?
Your ideals are too far from reality.
Come back to reality. Before you get hurt.
I know you too once had a conscience and ideals.
Don't forget why you started doing autopsies.
This morning, the suspect of the Kyeong-gi shooting,
a former military police officer, has been arrested.
What's the world coming to?
Hey, Da Kyung!
The NFS is a mess right now. Are you sure you don't have to go to work?
Dad. This is not the time to worry about me.
The quality of the fish seems to have gotten worse.
Are you sure we don't need to change suppliers?
What are you talking about?
I've been selling fish for thirty years.
What are you saying is bad?
Here. Look.
It is bad.
See?
How dare they!
Who do they think I am to be sending me such rotten fish?
Mr. Kim!
Go!
Are you going to keep this up? The quality is getting worse!
How are you running your business?
Do you sell whale meat?
You don't sell whale?
Doctor!
This suits you.
You're a total fish market lady. You look old too.
I'm not even married. It's a bit much to say I'm old.
Anyway, you have to be at work tomorrow.
Some woman gave this to me while we drank.
I don't remember who gave it to me. She said it was an invincibility card.
You've been through a lot, so I think you should hold onto the card.
You have your share of accidents too.
What are you saying to your mentor?
Are you going to be my mentor?
Don't be too happy.
If you do something wrong, I'll turn you into an octopus, like the ones here.
Be careful. If you make a mistake, you'll be completely done for.
Where do they sell whale?
Thank you, Doctor!
He was too ambitious, and now look how he ended up.
Isn't Chief Lee Myung Han a total traitor?
He uses him all he wants, and the moment he's a liability,
he gets rid of him like a lizard losing its tail.
That's why the world's a scary place.
It's cold! Let's go inside!
So cold! Let's go!
Congressman Kang left for the U.S. today.
He wants to check in on U.S.-ROK relations after the recent incident.
We just need to get through this.
We can't step back.
The same goes for you, Chief.
Dr. Joo was just a pawn.
You made the right decision as Chief.
I did not get rid of Dr. Joo.
I told him to leave in order to call him back again.
You won't betray those who are on your side.
I didn't know you had this kind of weakness.
If you want power, you have to be stronger than this.
Have you ever lost anything precious because you didn't have power?
The reason I want power
is so that I won't have to experience that pain again.
That pathetic feeling!
I won't go through it again.
Congratulations on your reinstatement.
Thank you!
We worried a lot about you.
It's nice to have you back and all.
But try not to cause so much trouble.
I've always been this way.
Doctor.
A 45 year-old male was found dead in his own room.
Though he suffered from diabetes, it wasn't serious enough to cause his death.
On the day before the victim died, it was confirmed that his wife,
whom he often fought with, bought sleeping pills.
Please split the assistant and autopsy photo duties between the two of you.
As for you. You're not part of this autopsy.
What?
Go to the special autopsy room.
There's a very special autopsy you need to perform.
An autopsy?
By myself?
Why? You don't want it?
No, it's fine.
I understand.
So hurry and get lost.
Yes!
A special autopsy?
It's from the cafeteria.
In the past month, the baking industry has persistently come across these.
So we need to figure out whether these are created during the baking process,
or whether someone put it there intentionally?
That's right.
But how come all the cases you take on are like this?
It's just her luck.
But how should I cut this?
How should I know?
But which side is its head and which side is its tail?
I think this side is the head.
I think so too.
It looks slightly bigger.
Yes, Doctor.
Are you done with the worm autopsy?
No, I haven't even started.
What did you say?
What are you doing? Playing with the worm?
You're being sluggish like a worm.
Finish it in 30 minutes.
Then assist Dr. Kang Yong Hwa with the autopsy of the drowned victim.
But...
That's not the reply I was looking for.
Have you checked the autopsy schedule for tomorrow?
Tomorrow morning there's an autopsy for the drowned victim.
And at noon there's an autopsy for death caused by acute internal symptoms.
Write a report on the drowning case.
- Get it to me by nine. - What?
No. By seven.
No. By Six.
All that?
And don't forget that there's a business trip from the eastern branch in a couple of days.
Write a report on that too.
Doctor.
How can I finish all that?
Why didn't you get any sleep?
Why do you think?
Doctor, don't you think this is too much?
What's too much?
I was okay with the earthworm autopsy.
But I haven't been able to eat properly for a week.
Death by internal causes, death by poison, death from a car accident...
You have me write a report for every autopsy there is.
Do you know how busy I've been? I've had to prepare for a business trip on top of that.
If you're tired, you can quit.
No.
I'll do it. I have to do it.
Stop the car there. I have to stop by somewhere.
Where?
Can you help me with this?
- Hey, hey. - What?
How could you spell it "ULLA"? It's not "ULLALA".
You spelled it wrong. It's ULNA.
I got confused.
What do you mean confused? Your English is always wrong!
Here. Learn some English.
Your head is so big, but why do you never study?
Whose head are you saying is big?
You have a big head.
Turn on the TV!
Why?
There are a lot of rumors about the NFS.
What is this?
Why aren't you all working?
They're talking about the NFS.
They're just trying to get higher ratings by getting people's attention.
I don't think so.
This is a trustworthy program.
They exposed a bribe on their last program.
The next day they started an investigation right away.
There was a case twenty years ago.
There were some middle men associated with Company H who started to die off.
On the surface, it seemed they died naturally.
But the truth is, there was a lot of suspicion regarding the facts.
We have just heard the testimony of a former member of the NFS,
the nation's premier forensics institution.
Who on earth did this interview?
We can't be certain whether the individual was a former NFS member or not.
Whether or not he was a former NFS member is beside the point.
Find him.
Find out who the person is!
Yes. Understood.
Hello?
It's me.
The only people who know about the case twenty years ago
are you and I. Just the two of us.
How did this story come out?
We must stop this.
The life of the NFS is at stake.
I will protect the NFS.
As for you, Chief, stop Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon.
If Dr. Yoon discovers this event is connected to his father's death, it's all over.
Heed my words.
I understand.
Who is it?
Sir, it's me.
Hello. My name is Go Da Kyung.
