(Episode 5)
Start the on-site inspections after the reporters get there.
He should be condemned by the press first.
Yes, it's me.
I told you my first lecture is today.
All right. I'll take it...
from there as soon as my class is over.
His skull is missing,
so we don't have the main item of the exhibition.
You'll have to bring your head in case of an emergency.
But I...
My head?
Sir, please pull over here.
- Thank you. - What is this?
Stop talking!
Come here. Give that to me.
Let me swap places with this old woman.
What's this? Who is this crazy wench?
Didn't you hear me? I'll swap places.
Oh, well.
You'll be worth killing.
What's that jerk doing?
- Come here. - Goodness.
- Hey! - Gosh!
Heo Do Jin, 34 years old.
He committed school violence, rode a motorbike, and arson at 15.
Mugging and injuring a man at 17.
Attempted murder of a part-timer at an internet cafe at 19.
A criminal with seven previous convictions.
Doesn't he ever consider committing suicide?
Hey!
Come here.
- I just told you to come over. - Why's he here?
What is he a leech? What a stalker.
- Why are you always after me? - Oh, my gosh!
- Ma'am, are you all right? My gosh. - My back hurts.
She won't be able to live her life to the fullest.
Prosecutor, I don't think Byun Sung Hoon is a serial killer.
I can't find any evidence no matter how much I try.
He killed a friend of his family and buried him alive at 13.
The DNA in his blood is the evidence.
Tell him to wait for me. I'm coming.
(Meeting Your Past in the Future)
Prisoner number 3731.
The death-row convict, Kim Seo Yeon has passed away.
But his heart is beating again...
in my heart.
(A Death Row-Convict's Heart Transplanted...)
(to the Youngest Osteologist.)
You must be interested in dead bodies.
What's this?
The syllabus is just a formality.
- Tell them about an autopsy. - Would it be okay if I did?
Professor, here's a student who got an A-plus from you.
You never gave me an A-plus.
That kid was the first in his major in the Basic Science test.
I'd like him to be a researcher under me, but that's unlikely.
You'll notice him the moment you step inside the lecture room.
(Chun Jong Bum)
It's the point where archeology and forensic medicine meet.
This is osteoarchaeology.
Bones are eternal evidence.
What we have here are the skulls of a couple found 6,000 years ago...
in Valdaro village, Mantova in north Italy.
Their teeth are strong...
so they are assumed to have been man and woman between 18 and 20.
Do you see them hugging each other in their death?
It's called the eternal embrace of "Valdaro lovers."
("The eye shall see for the last time.")
(University of Seoyeon)
Some say they might've committed suicide together.
So you're looking at the oldest lovers...
in the history of the world.
Yes, you over there.
Why do you think they are lovers?
What did you think, then?
It could've been murdered then buried.
There are no external injuries in the skull.
They used to bury people alive with the dead 6,000 years ago.
The girl might've been buried alive,
embraced the body of the man, then froze to death.
Isn't that a possibility?
Well...
Only the earth and worms would know the truth.
But they are seeing eye to eye.
Don't you think they would've looked at each other until their death?
You can feel that with your heart.
They could've loathed each other until their death.
Why do you think that?
That's just my scenario.
I like how you thought about a murder case looking at it.
That's forensic medicine.
The class is over for today.
Please apply if you want training at the National Forensic Service.
Yes, Miss.
(Alarm)
Do you like hearing the music box?
Sorry?
I bought this for my nephew, but maybe you might need it.
You cared about my hair, not the lecture?
Not a very good attitude, is it?
Did you give that book as a present to your friend?
- I'm done. - Thanks to you, I did.
I'd like to see...
how an autopsy is conducted.
Are you Chun Jong Bum?
I guess it's you.
You need to be qualified to attend an autopsy.
Is it okay if I tested you?
- Test me? - I'd like to introduce you to him.
Can you come over to my office after lunch?
He's 300 years older than you. So you better behave.
(Welcome to the University of Seoyeon College of Medicine!)
- Professor - Professor.
Chun Jong Bum is so handsome, isn't he?
Chun Jong Bum?
That guy over there.
Tada! He's a walking statue of David.
He's in the second year of medical school.
He's born with good genes, better than being born with a silver spoon.
Anyone's heart would be pounding...
once they've seen him.
He would've been an Ardipithecus 4.4 million years ago.
Ardi... What?
It walked although its brain was the size of a chimpanzee.
Female Ardipithecus would've fought violently...
over a male Ardipithecus like him, wouldn't they?
His father is the chief prosecutor, a candidate for Attorney General.
His mother is said to be the chief director of our school.
What secret of that perfect guy would have?
Professor. I heard he is a total psychopath.
And he murdered someone for the first time at 15.
Come in.
- Don't just stand there, say hello. - To who?
A warm and strong arm. What is this...
- deja vu? - You seem comfortable.
You must have done this a lot.
Let me down.
Mister.
How do you feel watching the world for the first time in 300 years?
Do you recognize it?
Hanyang has changed a lot.
We still have a few palaces left.
Let's go for a visit once the weather warms up.
If it's been 300 years, is it from the Joseon dynasty?
Yes, we discovered the skull in Andong.
A person isn't dead, just because they are biologically dead.
A person is truly dead...
when everyone who remembers he or she...
is biologically dead.
I'm the type who doesn't believe in dignity after death.
Then why are you so interested in the remains of people?
Because I understand you.
That remains are an everlasting proof.
The flesh will rot and the blood will dry...
but the bones remain.
It tells us silently...
how one person killed the other.
This one died of an illness.
Do you always look at everything through a criminological view?
Because I want to be a medical examiner like you.
- Hello? - You're late.
It's almost three.
Listen well.
If you don't bring the Andong skull to the exhibition hall by four...
you can say goodbye to your head!
Can't you wait for me until six?
This grave sinner has another lecture.
Hey!
If you're busy, should I bring the skull to its destination?
- Sorry? - I ran errands for Professor Nam.
Really?
This is my errands app.
If you put in a formal request,
since this is a cultural heritage the prices begin at 200 dollars.
Since I do attend your lectures...
I'll give you a discount.
200 dollars...
Okay, but if there are any issues you'll repay me 5000 times that.
Since like you said, this is a cultural heritage, right?
Then I'll have to charge you extra for car fees.
Call me a cab.
Something comfortable and luxurious for the heritage skull to ride in.
Okay?
Give me your phone.
I'll refuse. I don't text my students.
I need to text my client after the mission's been completed.
(Professor Jung Sa Bin)
(Name: PULSE)
Pulse.
A vibration as short as a heartbeat.
An electric current that flows only for a short while.
That thing I felt...
from that person.
Did you give that book as a present to your friend?
Thanks to you, I did.
I felt pain.
Please take a look over there too.
I told you.
I don't remember anything because of the drugs I take.
- Can I talk to him in private? - Okay, sir.
Let's go.
Why?
Were you too excited killing to remember...
whether you killed 6 or 7 people?
That's good.
If you eat all of this, a body will come out.
I'll talk.
I'll tell you everything.
I remember now.
Stand up.
Darn.
Wait.
It's not over there.
You might not know, but your feet do.
Start digging.
I heard he is a total psychopath.
And he murdered someone for the first time at 15.
That's why Chun Jong Bum's father sent him...
to America, cathedrals, and did all sorts of things.
Come closer. This is very important.
Apparently, he only dates women with surgery scars.
My friend So Hee's the daughter of their driver...
and she dated Jong Bum...
because she had a scar from her lymph nodes surgery.
I lived an empty life.
Hemorrhoids surgery is the only kind of surgery I had!
What's wrong with you?
Give it to me.
There's only one coke.
"The eye shall see for the last time."
"Arms, take your last embrace!"
"And lips, be sealed with a righteous kiss..."
"and make a contract with death."
Shakespeare in a Forensic Medicine book.
Is this his stream of consciousness?
(The Archeology of Death Exhibition)
I brought the Andong man to the exhibit.
Send the money.
(The Archeology of Death Exhibition)
(Professor Jung Sa Bin)
(I brought the Andong man to the exhibit. Send the money.)
The psychopath is crazy about money.
- Yes? - Where are you?
I got a call from the excavation team.
Can you go on a business trip to Gangwon-do?
They found some remains near the Donggang River.
I guess that remains came out on a warm spring day.
Yes, I'll head there directly from my office.
How are you getting there?
I'll take the train.
March 5, 2020. It's day 1021 of the bone autopsy.
I'm going to the excavation site.
I hope the remains I find today will...
tell me the message that they haven't spoken...
while they were buried.
There is a timing for each destiny.
When that time comes, someone will find me...
and I will find that someone.
(Under Investigation)
This is a mummy that was preserved by formalin.
It might have been saponified underwater,
but the body did not rot at all.
It's interesting that only the face was partially skeletonized...
and that it was tied with a red rope.
The face has been shattered.
Apart from the skull, the jawbone is still intact.
By the looks of the wisdom tooth, it was in its mid to late 20s.
This was a male.
It was a strong male.
From the corrosion of the remains,
I think it's been buried over 30 years.
"Wuthering Heights"?
The letters on the book are gone.
I don't even know what "Wuthering Heights" is.
Just kill me.
I'd say my mother's a murderer if that was done by me.
Of course, you got those dirty genes from your mother.
There are many reporters out there, so you can try your luck there.
- Bring him to the reporters. - Yes, sir.
It's not me.
- What was your motive for murder? - Are there any more victims?
Don't you feel sorry for the victims?
It's not me!
I think he was stabbed several times with a knife.
The wounds are deep.
Judging from the damages done to the face,
I think someone was trying to hide the victim's identity.
A crime of passion?
I don't think it was that.
Tying a dead person with a red rope like this was...
one of the burial customs.
They might have given him a funeral.
This is Jung Sa Bin, an expert on the bone autopsy.
He's in the excavation team of Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office.
Prosecutor Kim Su Hyuk.
That fist won't be opened. Professor Yoo tried it earlier.
Is that a ring?
That looks like a wedding band.
There's a number. It looks like a date.
It's 830403.
"830403?"
Would it be a wedding date?
April 3, 1983.
It could've been the first day he met the bride.
It could be a special date.
Let's do the detailed autopsy as soon as possible.
After the police investigation, please send the evidence to the NFS.
There's nothing else to identify him because the criminal threw him...
after stripping him naked.
If this is a 30-year-old corpse, it wasn't done by Byun Sung Hoon.
This is a corpse that died when Byun Sung Hoon was eight.
Byun Sung Hoon was the one who killed it.
This book was not here in the first place.
In the end, we also don't have evidence...
- Byun Sung Hoon didn't kill him. - Here,
this bone is the eternal evidence.
Professor Yoo, let's move the bone.
Sure.
I can smell formalin from his face.
(Episode 6)
(Chun Seok Tae)
Is it you, Jong Bum?
Yes, Mom.
Are you sick?
You're sweating.
I ran all the way here. That's why.
I knew it.
Jon Bum has never caught a common cold as a child.
My son has great genes.
I used to catch a cold in winter just by washing with cold water.
I always had a runny nose too due to allergic rhinitis.
Here.
What are you so happy about?
I would've been so happy...
if Jong Woo was half as handsome as his brother.
Honey.
Look at how sharp his features are.
His skin is as smooth as marble.
He's fashionable, which he takes after you.
Sure. You practically designed his eyes, nose, and lips.
Visit your uncle in America when the semester is over.
Don't think about coming back whether it works out or not.
Stay there whatever happens.
What if he goes to the States?
Do you think he won't be your son anymore,
once he's out of your sight?
Dad, please stop.
He's our family too.
He's not looking at you how an older brother should.
How come you're not looking at me?
Are you afraid of me?
What did you say?
Jong Bum, go upstairs.
Now.
We need to talk.
Your biological father has...
an IQ in the top ten percentile in Korea.
And his occupation is in the top one percent.
He's either a great specialist or a well-known CEO.
He may be a respected man in a legal profession like your father.
Mom.
I've never thought that I was unhappy.
No one abandoned me,
but I was chosen through sperm donation.
I'm thankful to my father as well.
He has raised me.
You've never learned how to draw.
Yet you started drawing a snowy field from the age of four.
You started drawing it just as you woke up one day.
Jong Bum,
I adore you very much.
You shine even if you just stayed still.
You've always excelled at everything you do,
including academics, drawing, sports, and music.
You've never had private tutoring and even picked the medical school.
You loved drawing so much but chose to go the medical school.
You know how to become an object of envy.
The one percent of superior people like you lead...
the ignorant 99 percent of this world, Jong Bum.
Do you still not want the car? It's my present for you.
I don't want the car.
Will you allow me to live alone near the school?
Do you feel uncomfortable living in this house?
- Do you want to leave? - Do you feel comfortable...
with me living here?
Listen carefully, Jong Bum.
There's only one reason why you might leave this house.
It's when I abandon you.
I will not...
abandon you even if you committed murder.
But...
please don't fall behind.
If you do anything silly,
then I might have to abandon you.
Hot news.
The mummy of a young man was discovered at Gangwon-do.
He was embalmed using formalin.
It was found at the site-inspection of Byun Sung Hoon.
I thought he only killed girls, but I guess he kills randomly.
Some say it's not Byun Sung Hoon who killed him.
He was holding a book called "Wuthering Heights."
Is this a message of the dying?
Who dies carrying a book?
It's a hint left by the murderer, you jerk.
If feels like the warmth is still here.
You must be happy to be out here after living in water for 30 years.
You could take some rest today since I untied the ropes.
What is your name?
You seem to around my age, and I've seen too much of you already.
I don't know what happened 30 years ago,
but you must've been murdered on the happiest day of your life.
That's the reason why you were not decomposed, isn't it?
You might've bought a ring to give to your beloved girlfriend,
and were on the way to give it to her.
And you died even before you'd met her.
Am I right?
I see now.
Mr. John Doe,
can you trust me?
I will find your face back to you.
I'll find your wife too.
If your bride is alive,
I'll find her and hand your ring to her.
You're here like this...
because you weren't able to put the ring on her finger.
When your wife receives your ring,
then,
you can leave...
in peace.
Hyung Bin!
Hyung Bin.
Hyung Bin!
Did you have another nightmare?
Go back to sleep.
I really don't like this.
About what?
You getting up from bed before I do.
You always do that.
I thought we were going to share one bed for the rest of our lives.
I don't like the way you talk either. We're engaged...
yet you still don't feel like you're mine.
I thought that's why you liked me.
I thought workaholic men were also obsessed with women.
Anyone obsessed with anything is weak-willed.
Why would they let someone else control them?
Sorry. You can raid the fridge. It's full of your favorites.
I thought I bought you a tie pin.
Why is it always that fountain pen?
(A Mummy Found in Donggang River)
(Social News)
You need to make sure the autopsy report from the mummy is private.
Who's that person who did the bone autopsy?
Make sure she's kept quiet.
We were too late. The remains became bones in a single day...
and I don't know how they found out, but the press is already here.
I'll be right there.
- Yes? - Hello.
- It's me. Sung Hoon. - Sung Hoon?
I guess you forgot my voice. it's Byun Sung Hoon.
Will you put the person who gave you the phone on the line?
Why?
I'm the one who wants to talk to you.
Is that so? Then I'll be right there.
- No. - No?
I couldn't believe there was a reporter who believed me.
I heard everything during the on-site investigation.
It's a 30-year-old remain. That mummy!
I know you're trying to blame me for murdering that mummy.
I can't believe this.
Do you still think I'm the serial killer?
Why? Because I was a youth criminal?
I only killed one person!
You need to stop oppressing me.
That's why I'm falsely confessing...
that I killed over ten people!
This phone number of yours was...
told by this man beside me.
This man knew...
your phone number and your home address.
I don't think...
you'll be able to live your life to the fullest.
I'll see you at the trial.
Goodbye.
Mr. Ahn.
Track the phone contraband routes in your facility.
Not through mails, but investigate those with an external prescription.
Send over anyone that gets caught.
So you want to play?
All right, I'll play along.
Is this the remains found in Donggang River?
Is this scientifically possible?
- Did Sung Hoon commit the crime? - Please move out of the way.
Please give us a word.
Answer our questions!
Is it scientifically possible for a mummy to turn to bones in a day?
Is there any possibility of bodies switching in the NFS?
Were there past cases similar to this?
Did Sung Hoon commit the crime?
Sung Hoon...
We will release the actual cause of death after the autopsy.
I think you can come in now.
It's not cold here.
That's not a living person.
What do you want for our late-night snack?
Sex, male. Height, around 184 cm.
Weight, around 75 kg.
He's of a robust build.
Judging from the bones, he seems to be in his late 20s.
Time of death, around 30 to 35 years ago.
Estimated to be around 1984 to 1989.
There was a deep reverse cross wound on his chest when discovered.
It was an upside-down cross.
Two amateur knife wounds on his stomach.
But the critical wound is determined...
to be the wound on his stomach.
The chest wound seems symbolic...
so it could be the criminal's signature mark.
The knife went through the ribs...
and reached the spine.
How could anyone stab someone like this?
The left side of the face is completely smashed with a dull club.
Everything from the zygomatic bone to the lower jaw is smashed.
The skull was also fractured due to the impact.
Mr. John Doe,
what happened 30 years ago?
Tell me what happened.
Did you say hello to Prosecutor Kim Su Hyuk?
He went into the observation room.
A prosecutor?
Did he just leave?
(Wuthering Heights)
What happened 30 years ago?
He's just amazing.
Let's go.
(A Corpse Was Skeletonized in One Day After Excavation.)
(It was skeletonized on 6th...)
This remains discovered by the Papyeong Yoon clan is...
also known as the Naju Lady Mummy.
They say her skin was still elastic...
because it bounced back when pressed.
If only the skeletal system and cartilage tissue are intact,
it's enough to know the cause of death.
What was the cause of death?
One side of the lady's stomach was bulging out.
After CT and MRI scanning, her womb was ruptured,
and the head of the fetus had already reached the vaginal opening.
She passed away while giving birth.
Why didn't it rot?
They poured lime outside the tomb.
The lime hardened like cement...
and stopped the decomposition of the corpse.
After how many days was the body skeletonized?
She became an unwanted visitor...
to a medical school anatomy class before she was skeletonized.
We don't have laws on mummy preservation yet.
Can it be explained medically...
if a corpse is skeletonized in just one day of excavation?
Pardon?
You must be interested in the Donggang mummy.
I'll invite you to the autopsy room if you're taking the NFS training.
With three internships, you might get the chance to be the assistant.
But you have to be polite towards the corpse.
I won't accept if it's just plain curiosity.
When can I go to the autopsy room?
You look like you're going on a date.
NFS autopsy is different from anatomy.
They usually died of a tragic death.
You need to have the condolences towards them.
Sure, I mean, I'll do that.
I don't believe in an afterlife, but only in a near-death experience.
They say people see a panorama of their life from childhood...
until the last moment right before their death.
I heard they see...
another world like a hallucination.
You said you didn't believe in an afterlife.
Humans are organisms,
so I guess it'll be explained medically someday.
But...
I also have an X-file in my life that cannot be explained medically.
An X-file?
I've never learned how to paint, but I drew paintings...
that could be displayed in an exhibition since I was four.
They were particular paintings.
What kind of paintings?
It was a village that was snowing,
a birch forest, and a snowy landscape.
You're trying to say that you're a genius, aren't you?
When can I visit the Donggang mummy autopsy?
Were you serious about becoming a medical examiner?
Yes.
All right. Call me in front of NFS tomorrow at two o'clock.
- You must be distressed. - Thank you for coming.
Please take a seat over there.
You're quite brave, Jong Bum.
Grandpa loved you so much.
Aren't you even a little bit sad?
He's just in shock.
Don't say that.
Jong Bum, let's go out.
Come.
- That kid isn't crying at all. - You're right.
Is it because he's so little?
Jong Bum, tell me...
what's on your mind right now.
When we saw that dead puppy in front of our house,
you didn't think it was pitiful.
You only said you wanted to dissect it.
You just want to...
know more about Grandpa's body, don't you?
You can tell me honestly.
You're curious what's inside the body, right?
No.
It's not bad to have the urge to dissect.
It's because you're a genius.
Do you know what a genius is?
You have the DNA...
of the upper one percent of the top doctors.
My son is different indeed.
Other kids your age...
only know how to cry in funerals.
I'm curious.
Sure.
That's okay.
Grandpa was a pastor.
- Right. - I want to know...
if there is such a thing as a soul...
and if Grandpa will be resurrected.
I want to know how he'll look when he resurrects.
What?
(Wuthering Heights)
This is the book...
that the red rope mummy loved.
(Chun Jong Bum)
Hello?
I'm on my way.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
Okay, I'll be out soon.
What's wrong with me?
Why?
(Protected, Permitted left-turn)
There is a timing for each destiny.
When that time comes, someone will find me...
and I too find that someone.
(Born Again)
Haven't we met in the past?
Even if we live in different times, we can still commune.
His copycat has popped out.
This is the sign of Gong Ji Chul.
Chief prosecutor Chun would gnash his teeth about Gong Ji Chul.
He's the man that you hate the most.
A college student was wandering around the medical school.
- I have a witness. - I guess you snoop around behind.
We got crucial evidence.
Do you want to ruin a living person because of a dead person?
