(Episode 6)
I gave you a fraud case to take things easy,
but you made it into a murder case.
This is all because the NFS wanted an autopsy warrant...
So is that why you flew there with a warrant...
after just one phone call?
I had a valid reason.
Deputy Kang, what do you think about that?
We should've been more careful even if the NFS raised suspicions.
However, since she officially launched the investigation,
we must continue with the investigation.
Prosecutor Eun, we are prosecutors.
We're not subordinates to the NFS.
You know that, right?
Yes, sir. I understand.
It's Baek Beom again, isn't it?
Yes, sir.
This isn't a serial murder case.
It seems like it's a case among the family members for the inheritance.
Forget about forensic science or whatnot.
Bring in the suspects, and interrogate them.
I'll keep both lines of investigation.
I'll need both forensic science and interrogations.
I'll bring in all the suspects again.
At this rate, we might lose...
our newest recruit to the NFS.
Deputy Kang.
If you're a deputy chief prosecutor, take care of your subordinates.
Yes, sir. I will.
You may leave.
Why did he call you of all people?
- What? - Baek Beom.
Well, we figured out the last case together.
Do you think he'll stand up for you...
when there's a problem?
In the end, everything will be your responsibility.
Of course. I requested that warrant.
Doctor Baek isn't a man of great character.
I know that he's crazy and psychotic.
You have the sharpest eyes when it comes to discerning people.
Prosecutor Eun, I hope you can take initiative...
for the investigation instead of getting used.
Like how a prosecutor should be.
Hyun.
Did something happen between you and Dr. Baek?
You sound really cynical right now.
Don't trust him too much.
He's not someone...
you can deal with.
Be careful.
- The corner of the bed. - Yes, sir.
Die!
Photo.
No, this is diagonal.
- The armrest of a sofa. - Yes, sir.
Die!
You mix well with violence.
This is the most similar. Write that down.
Did you find the weapon?
It's just a simulation. Don't get excited.
It doesn't come out automatically like those American dramas.
There were over 10 people who visited him that day.
Then there must be over 10 lies.
It looks like his skull was fractured...
when he hit the sofa's armrest.
That means someone pushed him over.
What's important is the who.
You're right. Look.
There's Choi Hwa Ja who was with him all the time.
Then there are his three sisters...
who came to visit him.
They also had a caregiver,
the doctor on duty, his doctor,
nurses, residents, and interns.
But his three sisters are the prime suspects.
The eldest, Jang Il Nam.
She's waiting for her US green card to come out.
The second sister, Jang Yi Nam. She has a citizenship in Malaysia.
The third, Jang Hu Nam.
She listed her real estate in Jeju Island for an urgent sale.
- They're obviously about to run. - Exactly.
Don't you think they're in this together?
I mean, 20 million dollars is enough for the 3 of them.
- Precisely. - I couldn't possibly...
make that much even if I worked since Goguryeo era.
Let's meet all of the people who came by his hospital room...
during that time.
We need to find out what happened on the day of...
Jang Deuk Nam's death.
Well...
You've worked as a caregiver...
at Seon Hospital three years ago, haven't you?
Yes, I was there back then.
Do you remember...
what happened to the patient who got a heart surgery...
on June 13, 3 years ago?
It's the guy who had three wicked sisters.
They're really feisty. Don't you remember them?
Oh, those crazy brats.
That family should be awfully cursed.
He died after his surgery.
Do you remember what happened back then?
Everyone talked about...
how his sisters might kill him...
before his heart failed.
Are you crazy? Have you gone insane?
Maybe the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet.
Il Nam, are you sure the doctor didn't operate on his head?
- He must've gone insane. - Guys.
Please listen to me.
You don't even know who she is.
How can you two register for marriage? Are you insane?
Why do you think she came after a guy who's about to die soon?
It's obviously money!
She's not like that.
- Goodness. - That's nonsense.
I think it was a few days after that fight.
- His wife showed up. - Hello.
I want to be taken in...
- as a part of this family... - What?
Family? What did you say?
A brat like you can't be our family.
This is unbelievable.
I am...
deeply in love with Deuk Nam.
Please just let me stay with him so that he can get better.
This is absurd.
She had a tough time because of her sisters-in-law.
I didn't care that they treated me like dirt.
But Deuk Nam wasn't treated like a human either.
They locked him up at the hospital when he got sick...
and then suddenly came back when he was about to die.
It was as if they had been awaiting his death.
I can't...
forgive my sisters-in-law.
What about on the day of his death?
I...
went out...
for a bit on that day.
When I came back...
Deuk Nam, wake up. Deuk Nam.
Doctors and nurses were...
surrounding him and performing CPR on him.
I shouldn't have left him alone.
On the day of Mr. Jang's death,
did you fight with him?
Goodness. That poor kid was lying there after a surgery.
Why would I fight with him?
Really?
Actually,
Hu Nam was the most jealous of Deuk Nam.
She was the youngest before him.
It was pretty bad.
Yi Nam always said...
that she hoped Deuk Nam caught a deadly disease and died.
Deuk Nam went out of his way to take the side...
of my sister-in-law... No, that Choi woman...
which drove Il Nam crazy.
There was...
not a single day when I didn't think of him as my real brother.
Not even once.
We ran over when we saw a code blue.
But his heart had already stopped.
We honestly didn't think that we should check his head.
We had to perform CRP on him immediately.
But there was no bleeding.
If his head bled,
it would've gotten on the pillow.
If it had, we definitely would've seen it.
Is there a possibility that the surgery went wrong?
Doctor Lee Hye Seong operated on that patient herself,
and it went very well.
You can ask me that directly.
I'm Prosecutor Eun Sol of the Seoul Eastern District Office.
Are you Doctor Lee Hye Seong?
Yes. Please go on.
You operated on Mr. Jang Deuk Nam yourself,
and you were the doctor in charge, right?
We cooperated with the police investigation.
What more do you need?
The National Forensic Service is going through the medical records.
We wanted to find out the situation at that time.
I performed CPR on him myself.
The shock had nothing to do with the surgery.
Deuk Nam.
Deuk Nam, open your eyes.
Deuk Nam.
Deuk Nam, open your eyes.
Deuk Nam.
Deuk Nam!
Take the guardian outside!
Deuk Nam. Deuk Nam!
Then what was he like when he was alive?
How many patients do you think...
I have operated on?
We can't remember what each patient was like.
We don't have that much free time.
Oh, is that so?
Then we need to see someone who might know.
The nurse in charge of VIP rooms would know.
But she isn't with us anymore.
The nurse in charge of VIP rooms? Who is she?
Is it Ms. Byun Soo Kyung?
- Ms. Byun Soo Kyung. - I'll summon her immediately.
Thank you.
(Prosecution Service)
Ms. Jang, what should I do?
Who knows where they'll go to? Follow them.
(Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor's Office)
- You're an idol at this office. - Do you want to be a fan too?
I agree that you became good-looking.
But I will dismiss your offer due to lack of grounds.
You should eat before you work. Is it not going too well?
No. It's the testimony of the testifiers.
They all have different arguments.
Are these really 10 different lies?
It could be 10 different truths.
A while ago,
I took a case with over 50 people involved.
They all had different arguments, so it gave me a huge headache.
But I realized...
they were all truths from their perspectives.
They took different positions.
They didn't lie.
Then there could be over 10 lies.
You're so unlike someone else.
Hello, Mr. Kang.
The NFS has Jang Deuk Nam's toxicology report.
That woman, Stella, seems really different.
She used to be a pharmacist.
She studied pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University...
and was a medical examiner in Miami.
She's the top expert in toxic substances in Korea.
She seems to love making things in her lab.
She made me coffee last time.
She's die-hard serious.
That's her hobby.
She always uses the right amount of great ingredients.
Trust her and drink anything.
Can I do that?
- Hi. - Hi. Hello.
One shot?
Sure, thank you.
What is this?
100-percent pure, lab-made alcohol.
This is alcohol?
A bit dry, right? Next time, I'll make it sweet.
Now, it's showtime.
The sample grade was poor, so detection took a while.
I found a toxic concentration of propofol.
Propofol?
A toxic concentration?
Every medication has an appropriate concentration.
If you ingest too much, it becomes a toxin.
The same goes for propofol.
That means someone gave it to him on purpose.
This much would've caused apnea.
To hide the symptoms of brain hemorrhage...
caused by the skull fracture,
someone administered a large amount of propofol.
He died of apnea.
Murder?
Maybe.
(Emergency bell)
This was done by someone with medical knowledge.
Someone on the hospital staff?
A doctor? Nurse? Who?
That's the wrong question.
- What? - Where do you get so much propofol?
- One more shot? - Of what?
No, no, sorry. Enough.
I'm busy. Bye. I have to go.
Silly me.
(Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor's Office)
Come along.
Let's hurry.
We're from the Eastern District Prosecutor's Office.
Here's our search and seizure warrant.
I want the ledger...
for the antipsychotic medication from June three years ago.
Including propofol.
I also want the list of what you prescribed to...
every inpatient then.
The files are in here and over there.
- Get moving. - Okay.
Take everything.
We want everything.
- Hello. - Why are you here?
The deputy chief sent me to help.
That's nice of him. Get to work then.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
- What are you doing? - Prosecutor's Office.
Jang Deuk Nam had a toxin in him that wasn't prescribed.
Propofol, a lethal dose of it too.
What?
We can't discount the fact that a member of the staff is a suspect.
Did Doctor Baek say so?
Pardon?
Did he tell you to raid this hospital?
- What do you mean? - He used to work here.
In thoracic surgery.
I wonder if this is revenge for kicking him out.
The Prosecutors' Office alone made the decision to come here.
Do you know...
Doctor Baek well?
No, not yet.
I guess...
you'd be better off not knowing.
We'll cooperate with you for now.
I got it.
Right here...
I found it.
Propofol went missing.
Although 250ml of it was used, the remaining amount doesn't match.
The drug wasn't from elsewhere. It was from the hospital.
Do you see the nurse's signature?
This person had the key to the drug cabinet.
Are you still looking for Byun Soo Kyung?
Pardon? We just can't seem to find her.
Her family hasn't been in touch with her,
and she hasn't used her credit card either.
It looks like she went into hiding.
Where are you now?
What's this mess?
Has she not been eating?
She looks like a chick that hasn't been grazing.
You can't even come home because of your mom.
Ma'am.
I brought food in case you're starving.
- Home-made food. Eat with me. - Goodness.
Who is this?
She hid so well that I'm having such a difficult time finding her.
Hang on. She's a thyroid comrade.
What? A what comrade?
That surgical scar on her neck.
That scar is from thyroid cancer surgery.
I always wear a scarf...
so I can cover up the scar.
Thyroid cancer surgery?
- That's why you take medicine. - Yes, it's a hormone drug.
I have to take it forever.
Medicine?
- A pharmacy. - Probably.
- You did it. - My goodness.
What's this about?
- I can find her now. - Wait.
You're going somewhere without taking a bite?
Sorry, I have to go.
Eat something first.
Mr. Kang.
Get the Health Insurance Corporation to look up where Byun Soo Kyung...
filled in her prescription for thyroid hormone supplements.
She can live without a credit card but not without medication.
My legs ache.
My knees will give way next.
She's really well-hidden.
Just wait until we find her.
I'll give her a piece of my mind.
We'll have a lot to hear from her.
We have a long way to go.
What are you doing here?
Hello. We're here to check a body.
A body?
Someone's dead?
Unit 203, female, Jane Doe.
- An unnatural death. - Hurry up.
Unit 203.
She rented without a contract. Jane Doe, nothing...
Why are you here?
She's in there.
There are many injection sites.
Was she an addict?
- We were looking for her. - What?
We're still waiting for AFIS.
(AFIS: fingerprint database)
Byun Soo Kyung. She was a nurse at Seon Hospital.
That means this isn't just any unnatural death.
But look.
There are all sorts of drugs and propofol.
She overdosed, or it was accidental. She's an addict.
I don't see anything odd.
Everything here is odd.
Who said she's an addict?
Look at the injection marks.
- There are so many. - Define addiction.
- What? - Define it.
To inject or ingest a drug excessively and continuously...
- until your tolerance... - The injection marks are all new.
There are no signs of struggle.
These are the signs.
Get the autopsy and the drugs ready.
Move.
A lot of things depended on her testimony.
Don't you think that's why this happened?
She's been silenced forever.
- Prosecutor Eun. - Hey.
I retraced Byun Soo Kyung's account statement...
that dated back to three years.
I found records that she'd been regularly paid by Jang Il Nam.
(Periodic Statement, deposit and withdrawal)
I knew it. His sisters were related to this case.
Byun Soo Kyung and Jang Deuk Nam.
Both of them could've been killed by the same person.
Are you saying...
that the real killer started to make a move after three years?
Propofol was found,
but the big point is insulin.
Insulin?
After she was put to sleep with propofol, she got the insulin shot.
The killer disguised it to look like a propofol overdose.
In other words, this is up my alley.
The killer just challenged the toxicologist.
I almost missed it.
It's been a while since I got all worked up.
Make sure you catch whoever did this.
- What did you get from the syringe? - Well...
Components of leather were found.
The killer wore gloves.
This way.
Look at the injection marks.
She has so many of them.
Byun Soo Kyung's buttons.
Her buttons were undone.
Come on.
Look.
You have to take off your gloves to undo your buttons.
- Then the prints would be on there. - I got it.
Next time, use your words.
Where are you going?
It's an expedited analysis.
Had I come out 10 minutes earlier, I would've been off work.
(Evidence)
(Fluorescence)
Where's the UV flashlight?
(It's used to identify prints and blood.)
Here you go.
It's there.
These are only partial prints. It's going to take a while.
Please let me know as soon as you have the result.
Sure.
But what else do you have in your bag?
You asked the wrong question.
No one knows what's in his bag,
but he has everything in there.
Prosecutor Eun, this is Choi Hwa Ja.
I see. Hello. What is this regarding?
The investigator told me a while ago...
that he was looking for a nurse named Byun Soo Kyung.
Yes, we were.
I know a few things about her.
You do? Like what?
It's not something I want to tell you over the phone.
Right here.
(1-on-1 fingerprint comparison, requested print, possible print)
- We... We have a match. We got it. - Really?
What is this?
(Choi Hwa Ja)
(Choi Hwa Ja, Unit 101, Cheonho Avenue 190, Gangdong-gu, Seoul)
Please stay seated.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Thank you for coming.
No problem.
(Psycho)
The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.
Why isn't she picking up?
(We thank Yoon Ji Min for her guest appearance.)
(Partners for Justice)
Where's Prosecutor Eun?
- Prosecutor Eun! - Prosecutor Eun!
Die!
I don't remember what happened.
Why would I want to hurt you?
Exactly. Why did you do such a stupid thing?
- What's your motive? - I don't have a motive.
It was so hard to get that evidence. I'm so close to solving this case.
You were hurt!
Get your hands off this case.
If there's a problem, will you take responsibility?
You'll probably run away like you did 10 years ago.
This case isn't over yet.
Who are you to judge that? I'm leading this investigation!
- What are you trying to do now? - I'm here to give you a tip!
I'm concerned that your junior will make another mistake!
