A case with huge profits at stake.
Doesn't this sound familiar?
What do we do?
There was a similar case twenty years ago.
There was a time when employees of Corporation H kept dying off.
They claimed they died naturally, but if you look into it, the circumstances were suspect.
What will happen if we expose a forbidden secret
for all the world to know? It's your call, Chief.
Hasn't it been twenty years since your father's death?
The only people who know about the case 20 years ago are the Chief and myself.
If Dr. Yoon discovers that his father's death is related to this case, it's all over.

Your father said he was going to the bathroom. Why isn't he back?
Excuse me, sir.
Sir?
Sir!
Someone help!

Episode 11
Was this really Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon's room?
We lived together here until he graduated from high school.
Wow. So fascinating.
I can't imagine Dr. Yoon as a high school student.
What is this?
When Ji Hoon was in junior high, he wanted to be a forensics examiner, so he wrote that.
We solely aspire for scientific truth.
What are you doing? Get out.
Why are you showing a stranger my room?
This is my house.
Can't I show someone around my own home?
But this is my room!
Stop looking and get out. Come out now!
Really? Was Dr. Yoon really nervous for his first autopsy too?
He wasn't just nervous.
He almost cut off the corpse's wrist!
You're laughing?
Anyway...
Chief, it's such an honor to meet you.
You have no idea how much I wanted to meet you.
It's an honor for me to meet a young and passionate doctor such as yourself.
Why? Are you jealous?
Not at all! I'm honored too!
- Dr. Go Da Kyung. - Yes.
Have another cup of tea.
You should visit more often.
Yes.
By the way. Is it true, Chief?
You know the NFS's legendary "Three-Man Team"?
They say you were one of them.
Everyone else left because the work was too hard,
but you 3 stuck around to work at the NFS.
They say that the NFS owes its reptutation today to that three-man team.
I wouldn't say legendary, but there was such a team once.
But was Lee Myung Han one of the team members?
He wasn't, right?
I can't see him as that type of character.
That's right.
Dr. Lee Myung Han was one of them.
What do you mean that's right?
He went to study abroad because he couldn't handle the stress.
Don't speak so rashly if you don't know the whole story.
The NFS was different back then from what it is today.
Everything can't be blamed on Lee Myung Han.
Every day was a battle.
The first victims from the fire in the south have arrived.
Got it. Just leave them here and go.
Senior. But you've been working all night.
I'll do it. Please bring it here.
No, put it here.
It's fine! I'll do it.
I'm almost done too. I'll help out soon.
You all worked hard today.
Of course we did.
At this rate, all three of us will end up on the autopsy table.
By the way, have more people applied to the NFS's job announcement?
Eh, not really.
Ah, really?
We don't have to worry. Things run smoothly with just the 3 of us anyway.
Just wait a bit longer.
When the budget gets better, they'll treat us better.
We'll have more staff members then.
Let's drink.
What are you doing?
It's nothing.
Looking at the 2 of you is like looking at the future of forensics. Makes me feel good.
The future of forensics.
Those are feel-good words.
Let's make a toast to the future of forensics.
Here, here.
Cheers!
Sir.
Please have some.
For me too. This is delicious!
We reached out to the documentary's production team,
but they won't identify the person they interviewed.
We've already issued a complaint against the program,
so there shouldn't be too much to worry about.
There's been a lot of talk about the NFS ever since the shooting with the U.S. soldier.
I hear that the Ministry of Public Administration and Security
is preparing an investigation into the NFS.
Series of Questions Surround Leading Domestic Conglomerate
5 employees from company A died within
the span of a month from a traffic accident, fall, heart attack,
high blood pressure, and drowning, respectively.
"Death", "Chronic illness", "Drowned body", "Suspicions of murder"...
Could find no reason for victims to commit suicide. Suspicions of murder.
Simply an accidental death. Deaths concluded as suicides for now.
Doctor.
The autopsy is ready.
Oh, okay...
An accident or murder?
Dispute over deaths of 5 employees continues.
Some claim no reason for suicide. More likely murder.
What are you doing?
This isn't it.
What's with this woman? Why are you grabbing me?
I definitely saw it though.
What?
The watch the person was wearing in the interview about the deaths 20 years ago.
The watch looked familiar.
He had a watch on?
That's what I'm saying.
Wait and see. I'm going to find out who it is.
After the U.S. military case, the NFS has been a mess
after it was accused of forging the autopsy results.
Who would do such an interview in this situation?
Hold on.
Why didn't you take a look at Jae Young's watch?
Does Dr. Jang seem like the sort of person who'd do that kind of interview?
Something's up.
Has Dr. Hong's unrequited love for Lee Myung Han moved onto Jae Young?
No way!
Jae Young's young enough to be her nephew.
People need to have a conscience. Even if it's just this much...
Have I said something wrong?
Point is, when I find out who did the interview, I'm going to kill him! Move aside!
Hold on.
Please excuse me.
It's not this either.
Doctor.
What's wrong with Dr. Hong?
I'm not sure.
She claims she's trying to find the person who was interviewed
about the deaths twenty years ago.
Doctor. The visit from the eastern branch has been rescheduled for tomorrow.
Okay.
Let's start the autopsy.
Yes.
You may follow your conscience, but no one else will abide by those rules.
Can you accept that?
Yes.
I want to know the truth behind this case.
I must be crazy. Crazy!
I should have held my tongue. Why did I say that?
My stupid mouth!
I hear the prosecutor coming today is pretty stubborn.
Of course!
She's the one who exposed the shooting with the U.S. soldier...
- Hello. - Good morning.
It seems to be suicide, but doesn't something keep nagging at you?
Three employees from the same company each died within a week of each other.
The first in a car accident. The second from a heart attack.
And the third committed suicide by jumping off a building.
It's all a bit strange. Don't you think?
What are you doing here?
What do you mean what am I doing here?
I'm the investigator assigned to this case, Choi Yi Han, the idiot detective.
He had a long way to fall.
Did you volunteer for this case?
Yup.
Why do you keep following me?
By any chance... And I'm only asking because I'm curious...
Do you really like me?
Yup!
You're so naive.
Do you believe what I say?
I was joking.
Why do you joke about things like that?
Such a strange man. I don't need you, so go back!
What's wrong? We haven't seen each other in a while. Aren't you happy to see me?
I'm not, so go back to Seoul!
Dad! It's me!
Prosecutor Jung wants me to go back to Seoul!
Always calling your father! Stop bringing him into this!
Are you going to the eastern branch?
I hear Kim Kyoo Chul, the one who fell and died, has his autopsy today.
I'll take you there. Let's go. Let's go.
Thanks for your hard work. Are the examiners not here yet?
We're here now.
Who's this?
It's you, Dr. Go!
Officer Choi! What are you doing here?
I'm so happy to see you!
Are you here to work?
Yes. Have you been good?
Of course.
She's my friend.
This is an examination room. You're not here to play.
When and where was the body found?
The victim was found at the research center where he worked.
According to witnesses, it didn't seem as if he was pushed from behind.
Let's begin.
I won't be doing it today.
- You do it. - What?
How long are you going to be an assistant? You do it, Go Da Kyung.
Can I really do it?
Why? You don't want to?
No! I'll do it.
Just follow normal autopsy procedures.
Yes. I understand.
The autopsy will begin.
Starting the incision.
With fatal falls, there are often fractured bones and internal organ damage.
It's different from injuries caused by assault or blunt force trauma.
Hold the scalpel properly. Do you want to cut yourself?
Deaths caused by spinal fractures are especially common.
When this is the case, the cervical vertebra must be inspected.
Cut along the direction of the muscles, and inspect closely as you go.
Just as with all other autopsies, examine the exterior closely.
The external injuries can determine whether it was a suicide or homicide.
What's the result of the autopsy?
Can you explain the case in more detail?
But this isn't the case for Kim Kyoo Chul's autopsy.
This person worked at the same company. Executive Director Goo Young Hoon.
He died a week before Kim Kyoo Chul in a car accident.
And that's not all.
Jang Il Tae, who also worked at the same company,
died of a heart attack in a restaurant bathroom.
So you're saying that 3 people from the same company died within a week of each other?
Car accident, heart attack, suicide.
Even though they died at different places and times,
don't you think this is too strange to be a coincidence?
What about Goo Young Hoon's and Jang Il Tae's autopsy results?
There was no evidence of homicide according to their autopsy reports.
Kim Kyoo Chul's body is our only evidence.
The result of this autopsy is very important.
I'd like to visit the crime scene where Kim Kyoo Chul died.
After I know more about this case, I'll let you know the results of the autopsy.
Which company did these men work for?
Which is it?
It's Hanyoung Group.
What is it? Does something ring a bell?
It's nothing. This is your case, so you finish it.
I have something to do, so I'll head out first.
What's his problem?
Yoon Ji Hoon's late father worked for Hanyoung Group.
We found his body at Buk Han Mountain.
According to the witnesses' testimonies, they say he threw himself off the cliff.
It's been concluded as suicide.
It wasn't suicide.
My father isn't the sort of person who'd kill himself.
We've finished your father's autopsy.
Do you want to hear the results?
Your father wanted to live.
He didn't want to fall. He wanted to live.
Up to the very last moment, he never gave up.
Your father didn't abandon his family.
Look at this.
Father.
What's up?
What are you up to?
I was bored, so I was reading a book.
Hello? Hello?
Ji Hoon!
Is something wrong?
I have something to ask you.
Sure. Go ahead.
It's about my father.
When he died, was there anything strange about his death?
Like did other people at his company die in a car accident or from a heart attack or something?
I shouldn't have asked.
There wasn't.
There was nothing like that.
Sometime next week... I'll find the time to visit you.
Sure.
I'll see you then.
We Solely Aspire for Scientific Truth.
Yoon Young Jin
This is the footage of when Kim Kyoo Chul fell.
Show me the part where he walks.
Isn't his walk a bit strange? Almost as if he's drunk?
There are a lot of possibilities.
He could be drunk, he could be sick. He could be mentally traumatized.
Have you gotten the witnesses for Kim Kyoo Chul's case?
I'm going to do that now.
Can I go with you?
What is this? Now you're doing police work too?
Three people have already died.
If they were murdered as you suggested, it's better to find evidence as soon as possible.
The smallest clue might help us.
Well, all right. Let's do that.
Kim Kyoo Chul. February 7th.
February 7th? Jung Cha Young?
Yes. This is Jung Woo Jin from the Eastern Branch.
Are Kim Kyoo Chul, Goo Young Hoon, and Jang Il Tae's personal belongings
in the evidence storage room?
Are you the leader of the research team at the research center
that the late Goo Young Hoon headed?
Yes.
Are you feeling unwell?
I don't feel good because I'm in the early stages of pregnancy.
We will end this as soon as possible.
What do you know about the late Executive Director Goo Young Hoon?
I've worked with him for about five years.
But what happened to Executive Director Goo Young Hoon and the others?
There are rumors in the company that those 3 suddenly started to die off one after the other.
What kind of rumors?
People say that the late president's spirit... killed the three men.
What do you mean? The former president's spirit?
Actually, this was something I heard from the late Executive Director Goo Young Hoon.
About 20 years ago, similar things happened when the former president was alive.
Some shareholders who opposed the president died one after the other.
After the former president died, his son Jung Cha Young took over.
But when he took over, many saw his position as illegitimate.
His relationship with the shareholders soured.
The three men who died were on especially bad terms with him.
President Jung Cha Young?
Meeting with President Jung Cha Young.
Goo Young Hoon. February 1st.
February 1st.
Jung Cha Young.
Meeting with President Jung Cha Young.
January 24th. President Jung Cha Young?
Jang Il Tae. January 24th.
January 24th? President Jung Cha Young?
What kind of person is President Jung Cha Young?
I shouldn't speak this way of someone in our company, but in a word, he's a scumbag.
Are you okay?
I have to endure it for my baby.
But today, it's more serious.
Do you mind if we talk later?
Okay.
Are you okay?
Yes...I'll get going.
Oh, this...
Excuse me!
Miss Han Tae Joo!
We can ride that one.
Is the research team on the 13th floor?
Miss Han Tae Joo! Wake up, Miss Han Tae Joo!
She's dead!
Talk to you later.
2:00 pm: Meeting with President Jung Cha Young
Come in.
What's wrong?
Another person died.
She died before my eyes. She was riding the elevator, and then she suddenly died.
What?
Doctor.
I think there's something shady about this case.
She was talking to me just a few minutes earlier.
How come this is happening?
Doctor, these aren't just accidents.
If you don't think you can do this case, I'll do it.
No. Since I started it, I'll finish it.
Even though it's hard to keep your feelings out of it,
try to approach it rationally. I'm sure there's some clue.
Are you looking for something?
Are you spying on me?
Is there a reason I should spy on you?
I don't know what you're looking for, but don't bother.
For your sake, and for the sake of the NFS.
Stop it.
What do you mean?
There are some secrets that aren't meant to be exposed.
You sound like you know what I'm looking for.
You have no idea. You don't know what your seniors experienced,
or how they fought for the NFS.
What happened 20 years ago?
It doesn't matter if you don't answer.
I'll find out anyway.
Hello.
Oh, Dr. Go. Did you have a good business trip?
Yes.
What's the matter?
How come you don't wear a watch?
What are you saying all of a sudden?
Who was it? I definitely saw somebody wearing it.
What have you been searching for since yesterday?
I'm looking for the person who was interviewed for that documentary.
How dare he shame the NFS.
I told you not to bother with things like that!
Seriously!
Doctor!
Documentary? What kind of documentary?
Haven't you seen it?
Someone claiming to be from the NFS came on to the program.
He said that the NFS forged all the autopsies for some case twenty years ago.
About 20 years ago, similar things happened when the former president was alive.
Some shareholders who opposed the president died one after the other.
What was the name of that company?
Do you think the program would actually mention the name?
They called it "Company 'H'."
- Your coffee. - Thanks.
So 20 years ago, employees of Company H died one after the other?
All of them turned out to have died of natural causes?
That's right.
If I find him, I'll punch him!
What kind of watch was he wearing?
It was circular and was blue inside the watch frame.
I definitely saw some man wearing that watch.
But I can't remember who.
You left your watch here.
Did the watch have a silver band?
How do you know? Have you seen it too?
No, I haven't.
Anyway, if you see someone with that kind of watch, let me know right away.
Okay.
I gotta go. Thanks for the coffee.
Doctor!
Do you know where Dr. Joo In Hyuk works now?
I hear he's an associate professor of forensics at Sangoon University.
Bye.
Thank you!
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security's budget plan has been cancelled.
Thank you for being so involved.
By the way...
What are you going to do with that ungrateful dog?
I mean the interviewee who brought up the 20-year-old case.
The one who accused the NFS of forging autopsies.
Don't you wonder who it is?
I have some connections, so I looked into it.
Who was it?
It was Dr. Joo In Hyuk.
I send Dr. Joo out of the NFS, and all he does is slander the NFS's reputation.
You have no reason to worry.
What happened 20 years ago never happened.
Of course.
Thank you for the tea.
I'll be going first.
Take care of yourself.
By the way.
There's something I've been wondering.
How did you change Chief Jung Byung Do's mind during the Seo Yoon Hyung case?
Everyone changes.
Inevitably, everyone will turn a corner.
I just took advantage of that fact.
I see. Understood.
Get all the materials related to illegal donations made to
Hanyoung Group's President Jung Cha Young.
These are the data showing annual stockholdings from DART.
Good work.
Detective Choi, investigate those close with President Jung Cha Young.
Okay, got it!
Wait a moment.
What?
Don't do anything stupid.
What kind of stupid things?
Don't meet Jung Cha Young in person, something pointless like that...
- Do you understand me-- - That goes without saying! Bye!
This idiot...I can't have faith in him.
What brings you here?
I'm Officer Choi Yi Han from the criminal department of the Songpa police station.
I'm here to speak with Mr. Jung about the sudden deaths of some Hanyoung employees.
Do you have an appointment?
Ah. It'll just be a moment.
Director!
Hello?
Yes, I understand.
I'm afraid now's not a good time.
The president is busy right now.
This is an officer from the Songpa police station.
He has some questions about the recent deaths of Hanyoung's employees.
Fire the security guards.
This isn't a zoo. They shouldn't just let anyone come in and out.
Hold on.
I suspect an assault just happened inside.
Happy?
Hey, punk!
Please, sir, do not cause any trouble.
Jail that punk for accepting bribes!
What kind of punk does that?
I said not to make any decisions on your own!
That's not the problem right now!
It's him! He's definitely the murderer!
Do you have evidence?
How can we get Jung? We don't even have proof that these were murders.
Have you looked into the illegal contributions?
There are some instances where the former President Jung has had fraudulent accounting.
But that's not enough.
There's not enough evidence to incriminate.
The former president?
Yes.
I know the Prosecution Bureau has the files of fatal cases.
Do they still have it for a case twenty years ago?
Why do you want to know?
The researcher who died said something.
She said the former president's ghost is killing people.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Do you believe that?
She said something similar happened with the former president twenty years ago.
The junior executives who opposed the former president died one after the other.
But can we really believe that something similar happened twenty years ago?
We'll know whether or not we can believe it once we find out.
What is it?
Have you been well?
Do I look like I'm doing well?
I came because I have something to ask.
I don't have time. I have to lecture.
The interview about the case twenty years ago.
It was you, wasn't it?
Tell me.
So what if it was?
What happened back then?
There's a strange series of deaths at Hanyoung Group similar to the case 20 years ago.
There have already been three victims.
I don't know what you know, but please tell me.
People's lives are at stake.
I'm not the one hiding something.
What do you mean?
What about Yoon Ji Hoon?
Has he looked over the news clips I sent him?
What news clips?
Do you know why I did that interview?
I did it so that Yoon Ji Hoon would know what kind of person Chief Jung Byung Do really was.
Yoon Ji Hoon took everything from me.
So it's only fair.
If you want to know what happened 20 years ago, ask Chief Jung Byung Do.
He'll tell you everything.
For your sake, and for the sake of the NFS,
stop it.
There are some secrets that aren't meant to be exposed.

Yoon Ji Hoon's father.
Jung Byung Do
Hello?
Chief, I'm on my way to see you. Do you have time?
It's just there's something I don't understand. It won't take long. Is that okay?
Sure. I'll wait for you. Come.
If you want to know what happened 20 years ago, ask Chief Jung Byung Do.
He'll tell you everything.
The person who performed Yoon Young Jin's autopsy was Chief Jung Byung Do.
If we speak with him, we might be able to know more about this case.
It's been a while.
Yes.
It's been a while.
How's the NFS?
There's probably been a big backlash after the U.S. military case.
Actually, I came to discuss that very case with you.
As you've said, we're not in a good situation.
So I wanted to ask you a favor.
It's a difficult favor. Do you think you can do it?
Chief! It's me, Go Da Kyung.
Chief, are you there?
Ji Hoon.
Ji Hoon!
Chief!
Are you here?
Ji Hoon!
Chief!
Chief, you can't!
No. Chief.
Chief, no!
You can't...
Chief. You can't!
Chief, you can't do this.
We have to cut this quick!
Call 911! Quickly!
We are in Hahseo Meon.
Call an ambulance!
Quickly!
Chief, you can't die!
Chief!
