Partners for Justice Season 2

The characters, institutions, place names, and incidents in this drama are all fictional.

Definitely not an accidental death.

I have enough circumstantial evidence to prove it as a murder,

and you're the only one...

who can reveal the truth of this case.

The cause of death is suffocation...

from respiratory root paralysis due to neurotoxin.

- One is down. - What's the plan now?

We need another case to make this one go away.

Celebrities, drugs, and sex.

Look at this.

This is the disease code for snake venom.

Isn't he picking a fight against you?

- Who was it? - Yes, Jang Cheol.

- You can't go home. - What?

Doh Ji-han's there.

Come back to the office right now.

Don't even think about trespassing.

A rejection?

We're literally in front of the home. And there's nothing we can do.

I wonder what's inside this home. So much that everyone stops me.

Let's go back for now.

My gosh.

Let's go, Mr. Doh.

Mr. Doh!

Wait.

Mr. Doh!

You'll be punished for coming here like this without a warrant!

This is crazy.

Did you get anything from Park Yeong-su's clothes?

No. Except for the dirt from the mountains and regular dust,

I found nothing suspicious.

I scraped everything under his shoes and found nothing unusual.

- Nothing? - Right.

On the cheongju bottle we found at the scene,

we found Park Yeong-su's prints.

On the mouth of the bottle,

we found his saliva DNA.

There was no other DNA.

I think he drank from the bottle himself.

No trace of others.

This is Baek Beom.

Doctor, I need your help.

- What is it? - I'm at Jang Cheol's place.

Please process the scene.

- Okay. Send me the address. - Okay.

Mr. Doh, if you call the NFS too, then it becomes a big deal.

What's in your mind?

I'll take responsibility.

Let's wait outside so we won't contaminate the scene.

Goodness.

- Get ready to go to the scene. - What?

Where?

You'll see.

It's an emergency.

Where's the KCSI? They aren't here yet?

The KCSI won't help us process the scene.

Trust me and do the inspection.

The home looks abandoned. Whose home is it?

It's Doctor K's home.

Doctor K?

Really?

No wonder it looks horrifying.

Inspect objectively without any prejudices, okay?

- Okay. - Get ready.

Gee. We're here.

What is this?

Did he already pack and move out?

No.

If there was furniture, there should be traces of it.

But there's none.

He lived like this.

How can a person live like this?

That's why he lived cleaning up after murders.

This isn't an ordinary home.

Let's check the bedroom.

What is this?

This is a monitor for a patient in the hospital.

Wait.

Look at the dust.

It's full of dust. It wasn't used.

Dr. Baek.

This room. That empty bed.

This is the only thing she draws these days.

But that's not what our bed looks like.

This isn't our bed.

This is the same as Seo-hyeon's drawings.

What are you talking about?

Dr. Baek, is this Dr. Jang Cheol's place?

- Is it? - Yes.

Wait. You said it's Doctor K's home.

Then Doctor K is Dr. Jang?

What are you talking about?

Look at this.

Isn't this the murder of Yeong-su?

It's the snake, right?

Did Dr. Jang commit the snake case too?

He drew the snake too.

Did he unleash snakes in the mountains to kill?

- Do you want to try if it works? - No.

I made a rash assumption. Sorry.

The killing spree.

The cord for hanging.

The structure of the restroom where the blood was found.

The lighter fluid used for arson.

The fact it was Seonghu Motel's Unit 407.

All that information weren't disclosed to the public.

The details that only the perp knows.

This is enough.

We found evidence,

so request a post-warrant for search-and-seizure.

- I'm on it. - Hold on.

Did you call us without a warrant?

Well, it was urgent.

That's why the KCSI wasn't here!

Is that so important?

This is Doctor K's hideout,

and he went into hiding after quitting the hospital.

- He vanished? - I'm sorry.

- It was urgent. - Forget it.

Swab and collect every piece of evidence.

Don't miss anything.

How could...?

How could Dr. Jang...?

Are you all right?

I knew you were suspicious of him,

- but... - Su-yeon.

If you can't do it, get out.

Go ahead. I'll take it.

No, it's an important scene for me too.

My little Seo-hyeon was here.

I'm on it.

Collect all these pens...

to check the substance from his fingers.

"Textbook of Surgery."

"Forensic Pathology."

"Toxicology."

"Hematology," "Bone-Marrow Transplantation."

It covers everything.

"Snake Venom."

Snake's poison.

Is this his mother?

I think so.

She's not smiling.

It looks like a graduation photo.

I'll take it.

Isn't this a bloodstain?

Yes, it's a bloodstain.

Dr. Baek.

The bloodstain is only on the shattered center.

He smashed it himself. Swab it.

Look.

They're women's clothes.

This looks like the clothes...

the woman was wearing in the graduation photo.

You're right.

That means Jang Cheol lived with his mom?

No.

- He lived here alone. - Okay.

I don't see traces of a woman living here.

He said he helped his mother taking medication.

What was that about?

There's medical equipment in the bedroom when it doesn't seem there was a patient.

His clothes aren't here, but his mother's clothes are.

Did his mother drop by from time to time?

I don't think so.

If she lived here, her shoes should be at the entrance.

There they are.

Why did he keep his mother's clothes and shoes,

when he doesn't even live with her?

These are all migalastat.

What are they for?

Fabry disease.

The patients with a rare genetic disease with enzyme deficiency take this.

Orally consumed.

I got it.

He left his journal and shoes,

so he didn't have time to clean the home.

Find if anything suspicious happened around here.

Got it.

Take all these pill bottles.

Find every residential trace.

Derived from the missing fossils in the evolutionary process

Refers to unsolved, hidden spot

What? Dr. Jang Cheol is Doctor K?

Well, I didn't have any clear proof,

but I was suspicious too.

He went into hiding, so we're tracking him down.

Did he run?

- Should we issue...? - Prosecutor Eun. Listen carefully.

Chasing Doctor K is different from chasing other suspects.

I can't explain everything right now,

but we can't trust anyone at the Eastern DPO anymore.

Do you think Sungjin is involved too?

But you can't do it alone.

If you need help, find Song Ji-su at the SPO.

Okay.

You're the only one I can trust now. Thank you.

I'll do my best to handle it on this side.

Goodness. That was boring.

How can you say that?

It's over. How long do I pretend to be sorry?

Pathetic.

I'll do the lines. You do the face.

- We trust you! - I love you!

We believe you!

The body of the alleged victim...

didn't have any trace of sexual assault or drugs.

We want you to know that we'll counterclaim her...

for false accusations and defamation.

We want to reveal the false allegation in detail,

so there'll be no future victims...

who suffer just because they're celebrities.

Kang Jun-seo, please say something.

How do you feel?

I'm sorry for making you worry.

I sincerely answered every question.

This is enough.

- Was it a false accusation? - Jun-seo!

- Please say a word! - Jun-seo!

You're here.

When is Mr. Doh coming?

Did Mr. Yang contact you?

Mr. Doh won't be helping us with Ahn Ji-hye's case.

But this case has become huge with the media and all.

We'll continue unaffected by the fuss they make.

Did we get the initial report from Gangdong Police Station?

Yes, but it's a piece of garbage.

The water happened to burst that day in the server room under the club,

so all security cameras went off. Does that make sense?

If you look at the list of confiscated items,

you won't see any security cameras.

They bought time to erase the videos.

Hey, working hard?

The GHB case? That looked tricky.

I'm just going to take back my cases.

Why are you taking the files?

You haven't heard.

I'm back as the head prosecutor. Happy to see me?

- Yes. - Congratulations.

Thank God it was a reprimand.

That rotten jokbal.

I stopped eating pig's feet since then.

I was kidding.

Anyway, I look forward to working with you again.

I'll get going.

What? Just a reprimand?

Mr. Gal's nagging has started again.

Okay, let's continue without getting affected.

Mr. Kang, please check Gangdong Police's initial investigation.

Let's start by investigating the testifiers at the club.

Gal Dae-Cheol means big and firm.

I'll never break.

Head Prosecutor Gal Dae-cheol

Are you in a place to be happy about the head position?

Doh Ji-han requested a post- warrant to search and seize.

A post-warrant?

Yes!

Doh Ji-han barged into Doctor K's home without a warrant,

and found the blueprint for the killing spree!

That jerk!

I told you we can't handle him if he goes nuts.

What if Doctor K...

gets caught by Ji-han?

- We're all messed up then. - Mr. Noh.

- Don't you get it? - What?

Doh Ji-han, that meticulous jerk, has started to cross the line.

Are you all right? Dr. Jang and Seo-hyeon...

We're busy. Get to work.

I still can't believe it. How could he...?

The home was deserted.

No one seemed to touch the kitchen.

How did he live there?

Frankly, I still can't forgive him.

He even killed a person.

I'd never imagined.

Killed a person?

My gosh.

Dr. Jang, how did you do that?

Su-yeon! I knew it.

You can't think about him.

I'm not thinking about him.

Hurry and work. It's urgent.

What is this?

Why?

I may be able to find out where the soil is from.

I compared the soil on Jang Cheol's shoe sole in the entrance,

and the soil from his mother's shoe we found in the closet.

They're completely different.

Different?

Also, these shoes are so old, there's barely any DNA left.

How old are they?

No one wore them for years.

Then the soil on the mother's shoes...

is from Jang Cheol's past.

What does that mean?

The soil on Dr. Jang's shoes had traces from the city, such as asphalt.

His mother's shoes had typical coastal soil.

Coastal soil?

We have three coasts, the east, south, and west.

Each coast has a different soil class.

To identify which coastal area it was from,

I looked into the properties of the marine sediment.

Because each coast has a different amount of organisms and minerals.

So where is it?

The soil on the shoes of Dr. Jang's mother...

is possibly from the southern coast.

Among them, it's highly likely the one with mudflat.

The southern coast is too large to search!

- It's smaller than the eastern coast. - The southern coast.

The southern coast.

There's a way to find out.

M7 Club.

Ms. Eun, I think...

there's a protecting influence within Gangdong Police.

The GHB case was first assigned to Women and Youth Division,

but it was suddenly transferred to the Economic Crime Team.

Why does the Economic Crime Team take a sexual-assault case?

You know.

Some police always act like pigs.

Those jerks are on the clubs' side,

and have their back.

Because of these pigs, people think we're all corrupt!

This is what makes me angry!

I met with the testifiers, but none of them saw Ahn Ji-hye.

I told you. They already got their stories straight.

The ones who have a connection in Gangdong Police...

shut the employees up, of course.

Ms. Eun.

Ahn Ji-Hye's video in the hotel hallway is all over the internet!

"Gold-digger video."

That's the most searched word.

What? The video was released?

- Yes. Look. - Let me see.

What the heck? We can see her face!

How did it get leaked? The investigation is still in progress.

I know. The comments say,

"Never seen a gold-digger like this."

"You messed with the wrong person."

"I'll dig up everything about you."

What if Ahn Ji-hye becomes a victim of doxing?

They mobilized Kang Jun-seo's fan club.

- That's scary. - What do we do?

Ahn Ji-hye

Hello, Ms. Ahn.

Ms. Eun, please help me.

Ms. Eun,

I'm not a gold-digger.

You trust me, right?

Ms. Ahn.

I shouldn't have said anything.

What do I do now?

- Calm down first. - Please help me.

What if they all find out about me?

No one knows about this.

I'm scared.

Ji-hye, it's Mom. What are you doing?

Mom, I'm taking a shower.

This isn't you, right? It's wrong.

What happened? Tell me.

Ji-hye.

Open the door right now.

It's all because the NFS couldn't find GHB.

Did the NFS send the second report?

Not yet.

Come on.

It's done.

Component Analysis

Darn it! It's negative again.

This is driving me crazy!

Sally, did you stay up all night?

Did you eat at all?

How could I eat?

Well. Is it that hard to detect GHB?

Seong-ju told me...

that the NFS has never detected it in the body.

Its half-life is so short, so its metabolite disappears quickly.

This jerk!

There's no way to prove it, then. Will you try it again?

Yes. You said you'll try it until you get it.

What about Park Yeong-su's urine?

Here.

- Nothing? - You're right.

What's wrong these days?

Gee. You were all proud of being the god of autopsies,

but the snake venom got you.

Nothing got me.

Yes, Ms. Cheon.

Ms. Eun, Ahn Ji-hye is coming. She has something urgent to say.

She does?

What am I missing?

Huh? Blood, stomach, urine.

All nothing.

What do I have to see next?

What's next?

Are you asking me?

You didn't miss anything. You're too meticulous to miss anything.

I'm definitely missing something.

What is it?

Do you want some ramyun?

If you chew, it'll stimulate your brain.

All you think about is food?

I don't need these. I have to look at a different side.

Prep the autopsy room.

Every time I try to eat something.

What else are you looking for?

The fluid inside the body. Spinal fluid and vitreous humor.

Start with the vitreous humor.

Prep it.

Hold.

I'm holding.

Next, spinal fluid.

Dr. Baek, aren't they only for spinal paralysis from medical malpractice?

Did you see yourself if he got spinal anesthesia?

No, I didn't.

Flip him over.

Spinal needle.

Needle for collecting bodily fluid

Here.

Ask Sally for emergency toxicology.

Ask her nicely.

Then you stitch him up and wrap it up.

- You decide when to wrap up? - You got what you wanted.

I won't finish it until I have something.

- Hurry. - Okay.

Ms. Eun,

I want to stop now.

I'll drop charges against Kang Jun-seo,

like nothing happened.

What are you talking about?

You wouldn't understand.

I'm about to lose it.

I'm on a leave of absence, and I don't know if I'll ever be back.

Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.

Then why am I sold to the public as a gold-digger?

Whenever I go out, I feel like everyone's staring at me...

and saying I'm a gold-digger.

I can't bear it!

You don't even have proof.

If you were me, would you continue?

Ji-hye,

I'll paint you a realistic picture.

If you drop all charges now,

they'll seize the chance and sue you for false accusations.

Also they'll ask you for compensation for damages,

and defamation from tarnished images.

They'll come after you.

Right. Giving up doesn't necessarily mean the end of the fight.

We can't force you to go on.

But we're doing our best to investigate the case.

I hope you know that.

- Hello? - Is this Ahn Ji-hye?

Yes, who is it?

I'm Attorney Yu Tae-jun. I have something urgent to say.

Rinse it.

Hemorrhage inside the esophagus. Three spots.

Scratches.

How can an esophagus get scratches? Hemorrhagic esophagitis?

Are you going to keep bickering?

I'm sorry.

- Write them down. - Okay.

Three hemorrhages in the esophagus. Scratches.

Hemorrhages in esophagus, scratches

Dr. Baek, what's up?

Didn't you finish his autopsy?

I didn't. Who says it's finished?

What happened with the vitreous humor and the spinal fluid?

I guess it's the day of nothing.

- I got nothing from them. - Again?

Dr. Baek, I just got out...

while Dr. Ma's in the restroom to let you know about the results.

Don't ask me anymore.

Dr. Baek, didn't he die from the snake bite?

Post-mortem angio.

Bone 3D reconstruction showed nothing wrong.

Blood, urine, vitreous humor, spinal fluid.

The tox report had nothing.

Heart, liver, lungs.

The major organs had no lesions.

The brain didn't have anything to cause...

I have nothing.

How come there's nothing?

Dr. Baek.

Park Yeong-su.

What on earth happened to you?

Dr. Baek, who are you talking to?

Did you just ask him? Good gracious.

You're talking to the dead body. I know it's hard.

- But you don't do this. - Hey.

I was talking to myself.

Can't I talk to myself?

Scalpel!
