He didn't face the charge due to lack of evidence.
But Baek Beom is...
an assailant.
It could've been an accident.
No, and that's the truth.
He ran away because he couldn't handle the truth.
And that's when he hurt his hand?
Did you know?
I just had a feeling.
Why did a successful surgeon hide in the National Forensic Service?
He probably couldn't save people with his hand anymore.
What about his fiancee?
She died.
I don't want you to work with Baek Beom.
He only handles the dead anyway.
He's using you too.
(Episode 12)
(National Forensic Service)
Come home early today. Sung Jae is coming home from his dorm today.
Our son is at the top of his class again.
I knew it.
Sweet ice cream
Come in.
Hey, Seong Joo. What brings you here?
- I have a favor to ask you. - Okay. Go ahead.
I'm sorry to ask you this,
but can you switch one of our autopsies?
Why?
Didn't you assign the victim of the car accident to Dr. Baek?
He despises car accidents.
You know that he hates car accidents.
Hey, look. You think you got so big now?
Do you think I like taking car accident cases?
Insurance companies file lawsuits and request for verification.
Of course, I know that, but can't you just switch this once?
Ask the medical examiners at our establishment.
Everyone hates doing autopsies for car accidents.
Does he think he deserves this special privilege?
I understand.
He totally ruined my good mood.
He won't switch it. This is bad.
- I'm switching to another team. - Come on, don't do that.
Please do this with me.
You know well how he becomes when he takes on car accident cases.
My gosh, this is driving me crazy!
Do we have a car accident today?
Dr. Baek!
Hello, I'm sorry for not coming earlier.
Is it a car accident?
Dr. Baek, thank you so much.
You gave me a chance to live the Act Two of my life.
- Yes. - I won't do it.
Tell them to reassign it.
Dr. Baek, this is...
What kind of case is it?
Okay, hold on.
The female driver died on the scene.
Only her boyfriend who was in the passenger seat survived.
- Only the driver died? - Yes. The passenger was fine.
This is quite a rare case.
(Incident Report)
(Choi Mi Jin, the driver, died on the scene.)
Get ready for the autopsy.
- Move it. - Dr. Baek, this is for you...
What's going on? What am I not getting?
Dr. Psycho is in action.
What? In action?
What? What do you mean?
(Car Accident Report)
Age, 25. Name, Choi Mi Jin.
Around 2am yesterday, when she was driving in place of Jeong Ji Hoon...
who drank alcohol, she veered out of the lane.
She drove over the centerline and crashed into a tree across from her.
She died on the scene.
Jeong Ji Hoon in the passenger seat was drunk at that time.
He only has mild contusions.
- Do you think she dozed off? - She was new to driving.
It's possible that she lacked experience.
I think she only drove because she couldn't let him drive.
Are you writing a novel?
Are you?
Let's do the autopsy.
- Did something happen to him today? - He hates car accident autopsies.
- We're doomed. - Let's go.
Stella.
- How are you? - Stop.
Let me concentrate.
I had a zit.
It was 0.25cm big,
so I needed to apply exactly 1.35mg of ointment.
You could just apply whatever amount.
No way.
If I use less than the suggested amount, it won't be effective.
If I use too much, it'll cause more infection.
- You don't want that. - Okay.
Anyway, what brings you here?
It's about Jeong Ji Hoon who was in the car with her.
Do you have his blood alcohol content? I sent it in urgently.
Did you come here yourself?
- Here it is. - Thank you.
Why do you ignore my calls and text messages?
- Oh, because I'm busy. - Busy?
Stella.
I'm not the type of guy who writes up a contract...
to have sexual intercourse. I'm not that inhumane.
Let's just lightly see each other first.
Let's do that, okay?
- Awesome. - What?
Okay?
You said okay, right?
I'll try very hard.
No, no. When you flirt,
you need to be charming, not try hard.
- Be cool. - Be cool, right.
(Prove one's death.)
Stop whining.
Everyone freaks out whenever they see a car accident autopsy.
Let's keep it within five hours today, okay?
It's not about doing it quickly.
Aren't you going to think about your coworkers?
I'm not suggesting that we just do it quickly.
I'm suggesting that we make it accurate yet quick.
Accurate yet quick?
Is this a Chinese delivery?
I'll let you have your joke because I'm having a great day.
Sung Jae is coming home today.
You've met him before.
The top of his class in the Academy for the Gifted.
Well, you don't have a kid. You wouldn't know.
Forget it. My autopsy today is from a car accident too.
It's awfully damaged.
Do you want to compete and see who finishes first?
Compete, my foot.
Local scrape on forehead.
(Local scrape: a partial scrape on one's skin)
"Local scrape on forehead".
No wound from the seat belt.
"No wound from the seat belt".
I don't see that many bruises.
She must've been hurt quite a lot if it was a head-on collision.
You can get bruised only when you're alive.
Once someone dies,
there's no blood circulation, so they can't get any bruises.
If she wasn't dead, she would've been bruised everywhere.
Chafed on the right knee, has abrasions.
"Chafed on the right knee, has abrasions".
Likely caused by the dashboard.
"Likely caused by the dashboard".
No injury on her left arm.
Aren't you going to write that down?
You said there's nothing there.
Come here.
Come here!
Write down that there was no injury on her left arm.
Don't you know that a negative finding is as important?
Yes, you're right. I apologize.
- Do you want to leave forever? - What?
- No, sir. - Keep it up.
Write it down.
"No injury on her left arm".
He's more irritable than usual.
Oh, that's called...
Dr. Psycho in action.
Lower half of right arm, fractured.
"Lower half of right arm, fractured".
(Internal skin damage: outside force separating one's skin and muscle)
Internal skin damage.
"Internal skin damage".
The passenger seat window was open, right?
One second.
(Incident Report)
(Vehicle condition: Front damage, window open, damaged)
You're right. The window was open.
She isn't the driver.
- What? - She wasn't damaged from the wheel,
no damage from the air bag,
and she didn't have a seat belt on.
That makes no sense.
She had her right arm on the passenger seat window.
But he said his girlfriend drove.
He lied.
So that...
he wouldn't get caught for driving under the influence?
I mean, there were no security cameras around,
and he claimed that he just slept in the car.
So what? Do you want to switch the suspects?
Well, it's not that.
He's been crying through the night,
blaming himself for her death in that office.
Then go check the inside of his arm.
You'll find a lead there.
Hurry up!
Mr. Jeong Ji Hoon?
Is her autopsy...
- over? - No, not yet.
Let me check a few things.
Mr. Jeong, your blood alcohol content was 0.27 percent.
You must've been completely drunk, right?
Yes.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have gotten so drunk.
Then Mi Jin wouldn't have died.
Let's be honest.
- Who drove? - I told you. It's Mi Jin.
Then let me see your arm.
- What? - Roll up your left sleeve.
Why?
What about my arm? That has nothing to do with this.
Is he really hiding something?
The air bag was inflated.
Yes, it was.
The hand injury from the air bag is...
only found on the arm of the person who was behind the wheels.
You almost got me.
Mi Jin! Mi Jin!
Mi Jin!
Mi Jin, I'm sorry. Mi Jin. I'm so sorry.
We can find out through the autopsy,
so don't try to play any games.
One second.
- Suture thread. - You already stitched her up.
Hey, you're still here?
I already went through two bodies. I won. Admit to your defeat.
Yes, you won, so get out.
You're bothering me.
Don't worry.
I'm not blaming you for taking it slowly but...
Aren't you busy?
No, I mean...
I heard that you've taken up a car accident case for once,
so Chief Ma and I decided to come over.
What are you doing? Are you operating on her?
The funeral house will take care of everything. Why are...
"A body after an autopsy must look more humane than before."
Isn't that what you told me?
What?
Did I say something like that?
You're a great medical examiner.
Take your time.
- Your hands must hurt. - Cut.
Cut.
The suspect of my first case was...
Baek Beom.
A car accident.
It was intentional.
(Partners for Justice)
(Proba Mortem: Prove Death)
(International Arrivals)
(Gimpo Airport Medical Center)
I was on a business trip.
I fell ill there...
and went to a local hospital.
When did the fever start?
- This morning. - I see.
39.8°C. That's a bit high.
- I'll give you a fever reducer... - Can I use the toilet first?
Sure, go ahead.
Let's clean this place up.
Oh dear.
Oh no.
He's in there.
Men's toilet by North 8.
Dead body of an unknown male.
This morning in a toilet at Gimpo Airport,
a man was found dead.
He was identified as Lee, a businessman in his mid-40s.
Airport authorities are tracing passengers who were on board...
Flight K3082 from Haneda that arrived at 11am.
The body was sent to the NFS...
- where an emergency autopsy... - Prosecutor Eun.
The autopsy warrant for the Gimpo corpse came through.
Thanks. Tell Deputy Kang I'm heading over first.
Okay.
Let's begin.
Hello?
Take photos.
Doctor.
I think you should take this.
Who is it?
It's our director.
What is it?
We got the man's immigration records.
He only stopped by Japan.
He first boarded in Qatar.
It could be MERS.
- What? - The Disease Control...
wants confirmation.
Take photos.
Okay.
I'm really sorry.
I can't do this.
Soo Yeon, where are you going? Don't leave.
You can't go out. Soo Yeon.
- Dr. Han. - I got the emergency...
- What's wrong? - Get out, and close the door.
- I brought the warrant. - I said, get out.
It's an emergency. That's why I brought it myself.
- What a temper. - Now, you can't leave.
What's he saying?
From now on, no one can enter or exit the autopsy room.
What?
It could be MERS.
I swabbed his nose cavity.
Send a hazmat team.
From now until Disease Control gives us any instructions,
you are under quarantine.
The hospital Lee went to in Qatar...
was one of the MERS outposts.
He could've had contact with a MERS patient?
It'll take 5 to 6 hours to get the results.
I have to stay here for that long?
It's protocol.
(Protocol: an agreed process)
- Test this. - Yes, sir.
Send the transporters and the driver who brought the corpse...
to the hospital.
- There's a problem. - Is everyone quarantined?
- Soo Yeon helped prep the body. - Dr. Han?
- Where is she? - I don't know where she is.
- What? - She ran out after you called.
I can't reach her.
Security at the gate said she hasn't left yet.
Don't just stand there. Find her!
Okay.
- What's going on? - Director Park.
Prosecutor Eun.
What are you doing in there? This place is quarantined!
I know.
This is really bad. What should we do?
Director Park, is this place safe?
The air in there...
flows from the ceiling to the floor to prevent contamination.
You'll be fine.
No, she won't.
If we're infected, it's game over, so they're leaving us in here.
You have a way of giving someone hope.
Put this on.
Are you trying to comfort me now?
You must wear that in here.
It's protocol.
Relax. Why are you so tense?
Who... Who said I'm tense?
I've never worn this before.
Chief Prosecutor No.
Sir, I have really bad news.
What's the matter?
Prosecutor Eun is in lock-down in the autopsy room at the NFS.
- What? - Lock-down?
- What do you mean? - Well...
I'll explain.
Did you see the news earlier?
The dead man from Gimpo might have MERS,
and she went over there and made contact with the body.
Why would a prosecutor come into contact with a corpse?
I have no idea.
I'll go over there.
Excuse me. Could...
Could you cover up the corpse with something?
- What are you doing? - An autopsy. What else?
What? Are you crazy?
- Why? - An autopsy?
He has MERS.
- It's just a possibility. - You can start once we get...
- the result. - How long must I wait?
Blood gets everywhere when you do an autopsy!
Won't that spread the disease?
- Are you writing a novel? - What?
MERS is a respiratory disease.
Infection by blood was never reported.
- Must you do that now? - We have to find cause of death.
Wait, Dr. Baek.
I get that you want to find out why he died,
but that's not the case for me.
I...
I'm...
I'm scared.
This isn't the time to be fixated on a corpse.
It's not.
(Prosecutor Kang Hyun)
It's Prosecutor Kang Hyun. Where is Prosecutor Eun?
- She's with me. - You'd better watch out!
If something happens to her, I'll make you pay.
Take it.
- What? - Take the phone.
- What? - Whose call...
- Hello, Hyun. - Sol, are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
- How did you... - Don't worry. This place...
- is safe. - You're not safe.
That's the most dangerous place.
I'll be fine.
MERS has a 40-percent death rate.
I'm on my way, so stay where you are.
Current time is 1:55pm.
I'll begin the autopsy.
- The scumbag. - Wait.
Must you do it now?
This is my job. Who else will do it?
- But still... - You said it's urgent.
Is it urgent if it's not MERS and not urgent if it is?
But still...
- It won't change anything. - What if it was a homicide?
- What? - We're letting the killer get away.
- What if he had MERS? - I don't know that.
That's why I must perform the autopsy.
But I can't do it alone.
Then...
what do I need to do?
Why would she do that?
Do you know how to use that?
Just take photos. It's not that hard.
The ladder is over there.
Put it over there.
Take photos.
Okay.
- My gosh. - Goodness.
What happened?
What is it?
I think I cut myself.
What? Blood? You're bleeding?
- Prosecutor Eun, are you all right? - How did you get the cut?
If you got it from the used scalpel, you'll be in great danger!
Darn it.
(Partners for Justice)
Something is wrong with me, right?
Is it possible that I caught MERS?
We don't have a solution for the time being.
We can't rule out the possibility of a homicide.
We're going to go find a poison that might or might not even exist.
- Are you interested? - What are you doing?
We must find out the cause of death.
- It might be. - Don't you think this could be...
a serial case?
Something is off about this.
I bet the culprit is zeroing on the next target.
Find out if this is MERS or a crime. Please hurry.
Dr. Baek! Dr. Baek. Wake up!
