(Episode 8)
I gave birth to Deuk Nam's baby.
See?
You three accused me of being a con artist.
It is Deuk Nam's baby.
The inheritance.
It's all mine!
Defendant.
If you murder an inheritee,
according to Article 4 of Civil Code,
you're ineligible for the inheritance.
You will forfeit the right to inherit.
What do you mean?
It means you cannot inherit the money.
You cannot be an inheritor.
Why not?
Why not? He is Deuk Nam's son.
Why not?
Why not? I'm the kid's mother!
I'm the kid's mother!
- Please calm down. - I'm the mother!
Why can't I?
- Please compose yourself. - Why can't I?
The defendant murdered the father of her child, Jang Deuk Nam.
According to Clause 1, Article 924 of Civil Code,
it qualifies as a reason to terminate her parental rights.
I will request a termination of parental rights as a prosecutor.
(Judge's Seat)
What now? What will you do?
You said you'd get...
all of his assets once you killed him!
I had no idea that he was an orphan.
He had nothing on him.
They aren't going to give him anything because he was adopted.
What do you want me to do?
How dare you?
Darn you.
You brat. You...
I don't need you anymore.
The defendant was...
only after the victim's inheritance.
In the process, she killed her victims...
and even stole his dead body in her shameless scheme.
Let go of me! No.
And even now, after all of her wicked deeds were exposed,
she is showing absolutely no remorse.
Therefore, I believe the accused must be...
isolated from our society for good.
I demand...
the death penalty for the accused.
The death penalty...
Why did I do that?
I should...
I should've just stayed still.
- You will be cursed! - How do you call yourself a human?
Bring back my brother.
You wicked thing! How do you call yourself a human?
- Bring back Deuk Nam. - How can you do this?
A human being couldn't do that.
- Deuk Nam! - Unbelievable.
I knew you were the one who did everything!
What a wicked beast.
Goodness, Deuk Nam. You poor thing.
Prosecutor Eun, great job. Everything is over.
We'll have to wait for the ruling, but she's obviously guilty.
Congratulations. Great job.
Are you not feeling well?
Do you have to use the restroom?
Prosecutor Eun, we'll go ahead.
- This way. - You can take your time.
- Hurry up and come. - Why? What? What about this?
I demanded the death penalty for Choi Hwa Ja.
The DNA testing result.
That was too brutal for the truth.
A father of two suddenly died in a restroom.
His family was wailing over him when I got to the scene.
Then...
a syringe covered in blood dropped out of his pocket.
A drug addict.
A brutal truth has an even more brutal ending.
That suits the brutal truth.
Why did you steal the body?
Because I was curious about the cause of death.
Do you not care...
about his life or what will happen to the rest of his family?
Is that all you need to know?
That's my job.
I thought you were a bit different.
I thought you stole his body to help find the truth for the deceased.
That you felt the responsibility to find out the truth.
But I was wrong. Wasn't I?
You told me before...
not to trust anyone. Not even the deceased.
Is that your true color?
You don't trust anyone, you care about no one,
and you're just obsessed.
- So what? - That's an illness.
That's paranoia, an obsessive compulsive disorder,
neuropsychiatric obsessiveness, and suspicion.
You dig up a body and go through it only to satisfy...
your own intellectual curiosity.
- Then you cut him up... - Is that wrong?
Of course, it is. How do you call yourself a human?
Have you had an interaction with a fellow human recently?
- An autopsy is an interaction too. - How can an autopsy...
How can you call an autopsy a human interaction?
They don't hide anything, they expect nothing from me,
and they don't complain even as I go through their bodies..
and their heads. What's wrong with that?
There are people who are honest and genuine.
- Someone who's alive? - Yes.
I wonder what you're traumatized by. I'm sure there's something.
If not, there is no way someone can be this abnormal.
There's a problem with your right hand, isn't there?
Was it a medical malpractice?
A chest surgeon can't have their hands tremble.
Is that why you only deal with the dead?
Stop writing up a novel with my life.
It's got something to do with an infant, doesn't it?
Everyone has a history and old wounds.
That's what people are.
You may look like this on the outside,
but Dr. Baek, you're a human too. That's why you built that dog house.
Right.
That means you can be empathetic toward a dog.
It's the only life that came to the National Forensic Service.
- The only? - After the Sewol Ferry incident,
we got that dog as a present from Jin Island. That's Jin Dol.
Everyone at the forensic service has been to Paegmok Port.
Happy now?
(Kang Hyun)
Did you get off work?
Let me ask you one thing.
You went there knowing that Hwa Ja was the murderer, right?
Yes.
Dr. Baek told me.
Sol, are you insane?
I don't want to see you get hurt while I work with you.
Is this only about finding someone guilty?
No.
It didn't feel great to see someone get convicted.
During mock trials,
I made it look so cool when I demanded the death penalty.
But in real life,
it felt...
- awful. - It's not easy...
to punish someone.
How do you demand punishment on the accused?
I look back on myself.
I wonder if I have the right to punish someone.
But I don't have such a right.
No one does.
However,
this is something that some people must do.
Hyun.
I never knew back in college,
but you became pretty cool.
Gosh, you've changed so much. It's unbelievable.
- In college? - Yes.
- Did you even know that I existed? - Of course, I did.
You had those nerdy glasses,
and you always wore the same clothes.
I sound like a mess.
You're the icon of metamorphosis.
- I'll go get some more stuff. - Okay.
It's really great to have you here.
It's really great,
but...
I've changed too much.
It's lunch. Let's go eat.
- I'll buy. - Really?
Yes, I'll buy.
Okay, then.
Let's go.
- Are you buying? - Yes, I'm buying.
Hyun.
You must be Kang Hyun.
Yes. What? What is it?
I heard you have a study group for the Criminal Code.
Yes, right.
Every Wednesday.
At my place.
I'm really interested in the Criminal Code.
- May I join? - Sure.
What?
- You? - Yes.
You are charged with...
Hey! Guys, get up.
It's time! Hurry!
Hurry. Get up and clean up!
I said get up. Get up. Get up and wash your feet.
This will take ages.
Hey. She's here.
She's here, she's here.
Hello.
- Can I come in? - Yes, come in.
This is for you.
What's this?
My mom's kimchi. It's really tasty.
Thanks.
Tada.
Cup noodles and kimchi are the best hangover cure.
Hey.
You brought me kimchi again.
What? Again?
It's nothing. Let's eat.
Hello?
Aren't you going to move in? It's your moving day.
Oh no, I forgot. Can I go now?
Thank you.
I completely forgot that I was supposed to move today.
Hyun, see you tomorrow.
- I have to go. - Okay... Take care.
Eun Sol, don't run.
I'm late.
- Hello, this is Eun Sol. - Hello, this is Baek Beom.
Yes.
- Okay, I'll be there. - I'll come right over.
- Give me the address. - Where should I go?
- Macheon-dong, Songpa-gu. - Macheon-dong, Songpa-gu.
- 1373-1? - 1373-1...
Okay.
Yes.
Going down.
- Do you live here? - No private questions.
Door is opening.
(Partners for Justice)
(Preceding cause: The initial cause of death)
Hello and welcome.
It's so hot.
Check the temperature.
28℃.
- The heater's on in early summer? - Don't even ask.
The blackout curtains were drawn when we got here.
Who told you to touch them? Who?
No exact time of death, right?
With the curtains and heater.
They accelerated the decomposition.
I think you can request an autopsy right away.
Okay.
Murder, right?
We need to take the bedsheets too.
As she is now.
- Yes, sir. - Seal her hands and feet.
Hello.
- Hi. - Hello.
It's a female body. Her name is Yeom Mi Rae, age 21.
She moved to Seoul and lived alone.
Last year, she sued a courier for stalking.
- Can I look around? - Sure.
- Thank you. - Have a look.
- Something moved! - What?
What's wrong with you?
She hasn't been sleeping well. What's wrong?
Something in there moved.
They're maggots.
- Shall I collect a few? - Yes, don't kill them.
Maggots.
Don't damage the scene.
Pardon?
Prosecutor Eun.
Did you close the drawer?
I saw her underwear.
Can't I do that? I'm wearing gloves.
- Who opened it? - I don't know.
That's damaging the scene.
This drawer was open.
- I closed it. Record that. - Okay.
Why don't you put a coat on her and bathe her?
Are you here to investigate or to pity the victim?
He's so mean.
Where are you going?
What?
What do you think you're doing? Let go of me.
- You can't... - Hey!
Do you think you're that great, Dr. Psycho?
Darn you.
Sir, we'll transport the body straight to the NFS.
- Dr. Ma will do this one. - Okay.
Let's go to the next scene.
Was there only one shoe here?
There's no way...
a killer would've taken off his shoe and left it.
How strange.
I'll bring the car around. See you.
- An informant. - What?
Give me that.
Hello? Yes.
Chungho Officetel. Yes, go ahead.
Yesterday, early morning.
A man wearing just one shoe?
Yes. He ran to a car in the parking lot in the back?
Blood on his hands?
Then do you remember...
the car's model or number?
Okay, a gray Starex.
License number...
An eight in the middle.
Last number was a 2 or 3.
You got something very important.
Why are there no security cameras?
I don't know. I think this is the place.
Hey, there's blood. I see blood over here.
By the way, who was the informant?
I'd like to meet the person.
It was a woman, but she hung up right away.
She didn't leave a number.
Excuse me.
(Search Result)
There are thousands of gray Starex cars that fit the criteria...
in Seoul and Gyeonggi alone.
We can't check them all.
Are there that many?
Hey. That's funny.
- Our car showed up too. - Really?
Did someone drive our Starex last night?
- Lieutenant Cha. - Soo Ho?
- Why isn't he here? - It's his day off.
- He'll be at home asleep. - He'll be in bed.
Hey, you, stop, stop.
Yesterday, early morning.
A man wearing just one shoe?
- No. Mr. Kang. A moment, please. - What?
What is it?
What is this about? Where are we going?
- Do you know where Mr. Cha lives? - Of course, I do.
- Let's go to his house. - Okay.
Hold on. He can't cut me in.
Yes, this is Baek Beom speaking.
I'd like you to perform the autopsy for the officetel case.
Why?
The victim might be someone we know.
- Run the database for the victim. - Yes, sir.
She was involved in a case before.
(Courier Stalking)
She did file charges against a courier for stalking.
Yes, that. Who was the detective in charge?
It's Lieutenant Cha Soo Ho.
(Lieutenant Cha Soo Ho)
- My goodness. - Hey, Dong Sik.
Prosecutor Eun.
What brings you here?
- Move aside. - What is it?
What is it? What's going on?
This pair. Where's the other shoe?
I'm not sure. Isn't it in there? What? What is this about?
Let's do a luminol test.
What did you do last night?
Last night...
I slept at home.
What is it? What's going on? Dong Sik, tell me what it's about.
Lieutenant Cha, you must come with us now.
Prosecutor Eun.
It'd be better than being arrested by your colleagues.
What? Arrested?
(Partners for Justice)
Prosecutor Eun, how could I kill someone?
Why are you lying?
This is a murder case.
Is it you or not?
I.. I don't know. I...
I don't remember.
You lunatic. You jerk.
Aren't you here to represent me?
If I believe everything my client says,
I'd be your wife, not your attorney.
We will reveal the whole truth...
through an investigation that's not tied to social status.
Even if so, you're still a criminal.
Your novel still stinks.
