- Jae Won! - Jae Won!

- Jae Won! - Jae Won!

- Jae Won! - Jae Won!

Don't be the same

At last, you want me back

I'll shake everything off and fly free

This romantic story

You are the endless

Cold daybreak that slowly turns blue

I think of you right now

Of the moment I'll see you

The light that is so alive

Yes, I'm going to fly

This romantic story

You are the endless

Cold daybreak

Jae Won!

Stay where you are!

- I'm his personal physician. - Go ahead.

Honey.

Honey.

Don't do CPR! Move aside.

What...

What...

An EDH case will come into the ER. Prep an operation room.

Kim Jae Won...

is dead.

Honey.

I killed my husband.

What should I do?

I killed him.

I...

I'm a murderer!

(Brain Works)

- Can we have a soju? - Yes!

- Excuse me? - Where's our food?

- Hello? - Just a moment.

A soju and a beer, please.

It looks good. Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Can I have my tofu and kimchi already?

Okay, give me a minute!

(Yi Na's mom)

Even the sound of the vibration is as cheeky as she is.

I can't stand it.

(Yi Na's mom)

If I pick up, I'm your husband.

(Yi Na's mom)

I take it back that I'm your husband.

What do you want?

Get over here.

Why should I come over?

You're a detective. A civil slave on the payroll.

Come when your mistress calls.

Oh, sure, ma'am.

I may be a civil slave, but I don't do personal favors.

Isn't it your job to prevent crime?

I might end up dead.

I'm not in Violent Crimes anymore.

I'm in Scientific Investigations.

"Scientific Investigations?"

Solve my crime after I die, then.

Leave a dying wish to your husband and call the police for help.

I won't come over, okay?

Open the door!

Let me in!

If you don't, this guy's skull gets cracked open!

I really had no idea.

I didn't know she was seeing someone.

It's an ugly sight. Put on your shirt.

Who are you?

Put it on, you idiot.

My gosh. She has an all-rounded taste.

She's not picky at all.

This is just unbelievable.

- I knew you'd come. - What's going on?

You had another on the side?

No, not me.

Don't include me within that boundary. It hurts my ego.

Calm down, okay?

Why you little...

That hurts!

It hurts!

Who are you?

Me?

Her ex-husband.

I'm your lover's...

ex-husband.

Yes. He's my ex-husband.

(Hypersexual Brain: Kim Mo Ran, Occupation unclear)

My goodness.

I just proved I'm a pushover.

Why am I like this?

I'm embarrassed to death.

(Altruistic Brain: Geum Myung Se,)

(Neuroscientific Investigation Team Sergeant)

Darling, why are you into scientific investigations?

You hate having to think. It doesn't suit you.

Whatever. I studied natural sciences too.

Call me about this again, and I'll kill you.

(Captain Seol)

Hello, Captain.

A murder?

(Seobu Police Station)

- That's her! - Isn't that Jung In Young?

Make way.

- Step aside. - Ms. Jung!

Why did you kill your husband?

- Ms. Jung. - Coming through.

How did you do it?

Yes, hello. I'll take your questions.

Did he die of a brain hemorrhage?

What do you mean when you say the wife caused it?

Okay, so, all I can tell you is...

just one thing.

Our police station, for the first time in Korea history,

under my leadership,

we launched a new team that will handle all cases...

connected to brain diseases, which are on the rise.

Our Neuroscientific Investigation Team will investigate this case.

(Neuroscientific Investigation Team)

All right.

My gosh!

Goodness.

Oh, no.

My goodness. We haven't even organized the office yet.

I can't believe they already assigned a case... Gosh!

Captain.

What are you doing?

This is...

I tripped and fell.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. You don't need to apologize.

- Get out of there. - Okay.

It's okay. I got this.

I'm good.

- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm fine.

- I'm sorry. - Don't be.

Don't you think it's so unfair?

The case involves a celebrity, so the media will be all over it.

I bet that's why the Subsection Chief is doing this.

But if things go south, it'll all be on us.

Yes, I know.

Right? You should talk to him when he's here.

Tell him we can't take this on.

Sorry? You want me to tell him?

- Yes. - All right!

Finally!

It's your chance to move up the ladder at the speed of light.

Let's do a good job solving this case...

and prove why the police need the Neuroscientific Investigation Team.

Why?

What?

The thing is, sir...

I'm sorry, but...

(Shy Brain: Seol So Jung,)

(Neuroscientific Investigation Team Captain)

We're not ready yet.

So? You can't do it?

- No. - What?

"No?"

You can't do it?

No, I meant...

What are you saying?

The Department Chief just texted me and said...

to investigate the case thoroughly and leave no doubt...

as all eyes are on the case now.

And what? You can't do it?

I was just typing three exclamation marks next to "Yes, sir."

How could you let me down like this?

I'm sorry.

Use all your resources.

Ask for help and advice.

If you're willing, you do anything.

Since when were we perfectly ready before we did anything?

Oh, right.

Do you not know how it is because you haven't done much fieldwork?

Or...

are you trying to mess with me when you know?

Sir.

I complained to her because I felt that we weren't ready.

I apologize, sir.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution,

I launched this new team with high aspirations...

in keeping with the Brain Science Initiative Policy.

How you two handle this case will directly affect...

my performance review.

Solve the case no matter what.

Do you understand?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir!

So Mr. Kim Jae Won had Parkinson's disease?

But he was young.

He was diagnosed three years ago.

The doctor said it'd progress quickly due to his young age.

He even underwent deep brain stimulation surgery.

It's a surgical procedure where...

electrodes are implanted in the brain to reduce hand tremors, right?

Yes.

The surgery went well, so he was able to return to his daily routine.

The problem was that he could no longer play the guitar.

Guitar was his everything.

He always said he wanted to die while playing the guitar.

Right before his concert, he said this to me.

"Kill me when I'm shining most brightly..."

"on stage."

He said he had a brilliant idea.

He said we should use a high-frequency bracelet.

Those who underwent DBS...

must not use high-frequency devices.

He managed to get a high-frequency bracelet...

that was illegally rewired for high heat.

Then he said he'd put it on before he went up on stage.

This is his phone.

He asked me to use this app to turn it on.

I did what he asked me to do.

But I ended up killing him.

I am...

a murderer.

Yes, it's possible.

The diatomic energy can flow through implanted devices...

and cause tissue damage,

which could lead to death.

Most medical devices are fine,

but if they were illegally wired...

Then it's a different story.

He was depressed, so I suggested he see a psychiatrist.

I feel ashamed as his doctor.

We're ready.

All right. I'll increase it now. Here we go.

Gosh, it exceeded the maximum value.

The hertz meter can't even measure it.

And it gets very hot.

It was illegally rewired, indeed.

We still have to wait for the autopsy results,

but I think Jung In Young was telling us the truth.

Gathering scientific evidence will be key.

We should do some simulations.

What? Me?

No, I should do it. I'll do it.

No, that's not what I meant. If we were to do simulations...

We'd need mannequins for the experiments, wouldn't we?

Right. But since we don't have any...

We'd have to reach out to a lab to do the experiments.

There's a place called Brain Hub.

It's a neurological simulation center...

at the Korea National University Hospital.

"Brain Hub?"

I don't know stuff like this.

Where did I hear this?

You probably know about it because of him.

That super famous neuroscientist.

He's here to give an amazing lecture.

Let's welcome Neuroscientist Shin Ha Ru.

His name is Shin Ha Ru.

The neuroscientist who's often seen in documentaries.

His brain-computer interface technology that can move robots...

with thoughts alone was the talk of the town.

(Refresh, Premium Drink)

Even a neuroscientist drinks this.

Oh, right.

"Even a neuroscientist drinks this." That guy, right?

He does this. That guy in the TV commercial.

Yes, him.

Oh, he's written a book too.

Yes.

Here.

Oh! He's an expert in psychopathy. He's the guy we need!

(Dissecting Violence: The Psychopathic Brain)

But people say that he's quite a character.

Gosh, don't you worry.

I'm sure he's just a nerd.

I'll chat him up a bit...

and win him over in no time.

(Establishing Law and Order That Respect Human Rights)

(Establish Law and Order, Happy Correction)

(Do Not Talk While Walking)

Goodness.

This place looks spookier on rainy days.

Dr. Shin, you seem excited.

Of course, I am.

This place is like my treasure chest.

Gosh, that scared me.

Yes, you've reached Dr. Shin's lab.

Is this possible?

Could you do some simulations and offer advice?

It's the Kim Jae Won case. The guy who died during his concert.

His wife is the prime suspect at the moment.

I'm a murderer!

Something's off about it, don't you think?

I taught you.

Shouldn't you be more observant?

I'm sorry.

Something is off. I must look into it.

Tell him we'd do it.

Okay.

Sure. I'll call you when I get there that day.

Have a good day.

I didn't expect someone so busy to easily agree to the consultation.

There was no need for me to kiss up to him.

He must be a decent man.

Should I check the schedule at the center...

to see if a slot is available for a simulation?

(Embrace with love, reciprocate with hard work)

A simulation?

That isn't necessary.

That woman...

I doubt she's the killer.

Sorry?

How would you know that?

How would I know that?

Give it some thought.

In the meantime, I'll be with my treasure.

(Post-mortem Brain Donation Consent Form)

(Medical Report)

Gosh.

It's you, right?

You promised me one last opportunity to kill.

It's what you wish.

Sign this, and you'll be leaving this place.

How you find the opportunity is up to you.

And you wish...

to have my brain.

Isn't this the perfect deal?

You'll get one last score before dying,

and I'll...

get to have your brain.

Sweet.

Sweet, isn't it?

But for some reason,

I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick.

Is that so?

Forget it, then.

Impatient, are we?

Fine. Let's do it.

Kang Sung Ha.

(Kang Sung Ha)

There.

So, what's next?

This.

(Medical Report: Pituitary adenoma)

What was that?

You see,

I recently attended the Nobel Conference...

that was held in Lindau, Germany.

Because I'm the young neuroscientist...

that Nobel Prize winners want to meet the most.

Don't you get what I'm saying?

Why don't I lay it out in layman's terms for you?

Out of all Korean neuroscientists,

I am...

the top dog.

It feels great...

to brag about myself.

What are you babbling on about?

So why would someone as awesome as me...

strike a deal with a scumbag...

who's addicted to murder?

Why you little...

Is a death wish what you have?

If murder is what you're craving, how about this for advice?

There's only one person you can kill.

You.

Just you.

Why you...

You may be the top dog out there.

But in here, I'm the boss. Do you get that?

Let me send you off to see your dad.

Thank me, why don't you?

Are you sure...

you can handle that threat?

On a day like this, nothing beats a nice hot stew.

Paired with a drink.

Kang Sung Ha, stand back!

Doctor!

Where do you think you're going?

Darn it.

Put that down.

Spit it out!

Darn it!

You pig!

You were given one last chance to wash away your sins,

but you wouldn't have it!

Doctor.

Dr. Shin, please.

Just like you promised,

I will perform my final kill.

Too bad though...

because you won't get what you so desperately want.

Actually,

I'll have it.

With this hand,

I will harvest your brain.

It will be cut into little pieces...

and studied extensively.

(Extraordinary Brain: Shin Ha Ru,)

(Neuroscientist at Brain Hub)

You wait and see.

That perp will soon meet his demise.

I get that he wants to kill,

but would he actually kill himself?

That's his only option.

Kang Sung Ha's brain is addicted to killing,

and it will be in despair once it realizes...

that it can't perform any more killings.

If he can't kill, there will be no reason to live.

He'll do as I advised.

The only killing he can perform.

He'll kill himself.

(119 Ambulance)

Kang Sung Ha, an inmate who was on death row...

for killing eight people in the southwest area,

was found dead in solitary confinement...

as a result of hanging.

Meanwhile, the fact that he donated his brain to Brain Hub,

an affiliated research facility of Korea National University Hospital,

has been sparking enthusiasm.

Many have been curious about how and why...

Kang Sung Ha decided to donate his brain to research.

Doctor,

he committed suicide like you said.

Know the brain, predict the future.

Thanks to me, you'll get to study the brain...

of a true psychopath.

Doctor,

Kang Sung Ha swallowed the consent form he signed.

How were we able to get his brain?

Just answer the phone.

Hello, Dr. Shin Ha Ru's office.

Oh, yes, detective.

Kang Sung Ha's body must be coming here.

There's a huge crowd.

- I'm at Korea National... - Okay, I'll come over.

KBN News, Min Byung Chan reporting.

(Korea National University Hospital)

(World Economic Forum)

My, oh, my, he's a really popular guy.

(Brain Hub's recruiting sub-interns for the 2022 summer)

He must be their biggest star.

Doctor Shin Ha Ru.

(Welcome to Brain Hub.)

(Doctor Shin Ha Ru)

"Doctor Shin Ha Ru." Okay.

Yikes.

Hello.

Wait.

Dr. Shin?

What do you want?

I'm Detective Geum Myung Se...

who asked to meet over Kim Jae Won's death.

I just spoke with your assistant.

Oh, that?

I need your help first.

(Post-mortem Brain Donation Consent Form)

Stick this to the window for everyone to see.

And get ready.

Doctor.

I really need to ask.

Kang Sung Ha ate this.

He ate it?

Then what's that?

Exactly. How is this perfectly...

Why are you talking nonsense?

Don't you remember?

The day he almost strangled me to death,

we got it that day.

Don't you remember?

Well, yes, I guess we did. Maybe.

You're young.

Your memory is failing already.

- But Doctor. - What now?

Professor Jin will throw a fit.

Why not wait for him to join?

Oh, yes.

Professor Jin's scary when angry.

He's the chancellor's son.

We can't afford to upset him.

An orphan like me...

shouldn't upset a chancellor's son.

Even though I'm a million times more acknowledged than him!

I shouldn't upset the chancellor's son.

Should I?

No, that's not what I meant at all. I apologize.

You can't work for me if you care about how others feel.

Take your pick. Work with me...

or leave now.

This donation...

will do a great deal in helping us research...

the biological characteristics of a psychopath's antisocial acts.

I heard Kang Sung Ha donated his brain...

to Dr. Kang Sung Ha.

It wasn't to Dr. Shin personally.

He donated it to our Brain Hub.

I am forced to...

end the briefing here. Thank you.

- But... - Wait.

- You can't leave already. - We're not done yet.

(Post-mortem Brain Donation Consent Form)

Why isn't he here yet?

We forged the donor consent form.

If we get caught, we'll get in big trouble.

I'll explain the details later,

but you're doing a great deal for brain science development.

You must stay completely still.

Until I return.

Goodbye.

Are you a ghost?

What the...

Name, Kang Sung Ha. Age, 56.

COD, suicide.

Scored 100 percent on the psychopath test.

Psychopath brain confirmed through functional MRI.

The MAO-A gene absent.

(Missing the MAO-A gene can cause excessive violence.)

I'll begin...

the brain biopsy.

Who are you?

You're not Kang Sung Ha. What are you doing here?

I'm... That doctor.

Dr. Shin Ha Ru told me to lie still on the table.

- My hair. - He did?

Darn it.

He'll drive me insane one day.

I'm the one who's about to go insane!

Look. What'll you do about this?

I need to see a mirror. Where is it?

Oh, great.

Darn it!

What'll you do about this?

Give me back my hair! I want it back in!

I'm really sorry.

I thought you were Kang Sung Ha's body.

His body was right here a while ago.

Oh, how about...

you get a haircut... Oh, no. I forgot my wallet.

A haircut?

What haircut can fix a highway you shaved through my head?

Darn it.

What's going on?

(Post-mortem Brain Donation Consent Form)

(The brain goes solely to Dr. Shin Ha Ru.)

It goes solely to Dr. Shin?

That's preposterous.

Where's Kang's body?

I think Dr. Shin smuggled it out.

Find it now!

Yes, sir.

What the heck...

Hey. Hello? What just happened?

Didn't they see me?

Where did they all run off to leaving me here?

Dr. Shin!

Open the door. Open it right now!

Let me in!

Open this door!

Dr. Shin!

Open the door now!

Dr. Shin.

Stop what you're doing and open this door now!

Dr. Shin!

Dr. Shin!

Get the master key!

Dr. Shin!

I got the key!

Who said you could cut him open?

Thomas Harvey who cut out Einstein's brain...

kept the photos to himself until he died.

People sued for the rights to the brain...

of Henry Molaison, the model of the movie "Memento."

My point is,

why should I share the trophy with you?

Dr. Shin!

Dr. Shin!

Oh, here you are.

I won't let this slide. I'll make an official complaint.

I can't let this slide either.

Do you see this? What'll you do about it?

Who are you? Why have you been making such a fuss?

Can't you tell? I'm a victim!

He told me to lie on a table,

and this happened!

Why did you even agree to do that?

Are you an idiot?

What? Is that all you can say?

Let's sum this up.

You, make an official complaint.

I am partially responsible,

and it is an ugly look.

What?

Cover it up with this for a while.

I'll buy you another one that's expensive.

That's that all sorted.

Goodbye, then.

Take care.

Hey. Dr. Shin!

(Autopsy Lab)

What kind of weirdo is that?

I apologize.

If you don't mind, you can wear that for now.

Poor you.

Don't worry about it.

You keep this.

Judging by how that jerk treats you,

you must've been stressed out having to put up with him.

That's why I ended up like this.

This is nuts.

Darn it. My nice hair was the only thing I got going for me.

What is this?

Gosh, I really can't believe this.

I should've tried harder to stop him.

I'm sorry.

Oh, why are you apologizing?

That jerk is a piece of trash.

A piece of trash? Who?

I want to know his name.

Oh!

What happened? Why did you get a buzz cut only on that part?

Who did it? A robber?

What robber carries around a clipper?

Only a pervert would do that.

Let's go. I need a drink.

The news about his death...

has sparked an investigation...

into the causes of...

Looking all serious, he said,

"You're contributing to the advancement of neuroscience."

How ridiculous.

He's nuts. He's a total nutcase.

Right. That obnoxious jerk.

Find out what he's really up to, okay?

- Such questions were brought up. - Oh.

- Dr. Shin Ha Ru from Brain Hub... - It's that obnoxious jerk.

will tell us more.

Kang Sung Ha decided to donate his brain...

as a way of repenting what he did to the victims...

and told us to use it to study the brains of criminals.

Why isn't he here yet?

We forged the donor consent form.

If we get caught, we'll get in big trouble.

Oh, that's right.

That consent form is fake.

I heard it.

When I was lying there with the sheet over my face like this,

the guy with the clipper said so.

Do you have evidence?

Evidence? I sure do. My ears.

I told you. I heard that guy with the clipper mumbling to himself...

that they forged it.

Why would he lie about it when he's alone?

You had a really long day.

Are you sure you heard him right?

Darn you...

Do you want to bet? How much? Hundred dollars? Five hundred?

Ouch...

Perfect.

(Director Park)

Darn it. What a nuisance.

Right.

So why examine Kang Sung Ha's brain by yourself?

Kang Sung Ha's brain is a precious treasure,

and I discovered it.

Goodness.

We must share every brain we receive at the lab.

I will share it.

When? After you finish everything you wanted to do with it?

Of course.

If you're going to keep up with your selfish antics,

I can't cover for you anymore.

You little...

Right, I'm supposed to meet a friend of mine.

You can scold me another time.

Shin Ha Ru!

It was a purely psychopathic brain with no underlying conditions.

My heart is still racing.

You know how hard it is to find such a brain.

You little rascal.

You're happy too, aren't you?

Here's to the Psychopathic Brain Rebuilding Project.

Cheers.

I could use another drink on a day like this.

A mere glass of drink...

cannot affect me.

I'm so drunk

Gosh, I really am drunk.

Goodness, your hair. You look hilarious.

Hey.

You brat. Your dad has a bald spot now.

- What? "Hilarious?" - What happened?

You see, today...

Gosh, where do I even begin?

Dad! You stink!

Go wash up first!

You won't even let me talk? Unbelievable!

Gosh, seriously.

I have to see Hwe Seung!

Yes, see him all you want. I never told you not to.

You're making me very uncomfortable right now.

Goodness. What do you even like about that little punk?

Dad, please don't cross the line.

Oh, right.

He looks just like that obnoxious jerk.

What? I know you're drunk, but don't talk about my babe in that manner.

(Teenage Brain: Geum Yi Na, 9th Grader)

Gosh.

I didn't know you had a baby.

Gosh, I can't stand your lame jokes.

Goodness. How much longer do I have to wear this?

People can't see my handsome face because of this.

Gosh! Here, let me.

No, it's okay.

Forget it. Give me the latest on the Kim Jae Won case.

Captain, you should be the one doing it.

I got this. Go.

Oh, boy.

We interviewed the witness and checked the security footage.

We found nothing out of the ordinary.

The autopsy results will be available soon.

Let's see.

(Seobu Police Station)

Oh, my. The indents and spacing are all perfect.

She writes such concise sentences...

with easy words. She's very perceptive, isn't she?

I learned a lot too.

I'm flattered.

I'll go over this again later.

This report is way too perfect.

You should give your boss something to pick on.

Do you think you're better than everyone else? Goodness.

See you, sir.

Goodness. He complains even when we do a good job.

What's wrong with him, seriously?

Captain, you should step out and get some fresh air.

No, it's okay.

(Cho Hee Won, National Forensic Service)

Oh, Kim Jae Won's autopsy results have been released.

(Kim Jae Won, Jung In Young)

According to the autopsy results,

the DBS electrodes burned,

and it caused cerebral hemorrhage.

So we've secured irrefutable evidence...

that Jung In Young indeed killed her husband.

I'd like to conduct a simulation to back up the evidence.

Yes, we should do that.

But we won't ask that obnoxious jerk.

We'll find another neuroscientist.

Hold on. Let me see who else I can find.

What?

What is this?

(Renowned Neuroscientist Rumored to Have Forged Donor Consent Form)

"A renowned neuroscientist is rumored..."

"to have illegally removed a patient's brain."

"Renowned Neuroscientist Rumored to Have Forged Donor Consent Form?"

Is this about Dr. Shin Ha Ru?

Probably.

Oh, Reporter Moon wrote this.

Did he get this information from...

Probably.

Is it true though? Did Dr. Shin do this?

What's problematic...

is that I probably said it in a drunken frenzy.

(Named neuroscientist? Isn't that SHR?)

(Why am I not surprised?)

(SHR has always been impossible.)

(SHR thinks he can get away with anything...)

(because he's handsome.)

Who's your source?

I never reveal my sources.

Don't you know that?

What I'm trying to say...

is that you should be cautious as a journalist...

about the spread of false rumors.

Sure.

We'll meet sometime.

Media jackal!

Darn it.

I won't let this slide!

No, wait.

Who's more at fault is the source.

Who could it be?

The prison guard?

No way.

I stuffed him with enough bribes.

It wasn't you, was it?

After all, you're my accomplice.

Who do you think it was?

I'm not sure.

Call home and tell your family that you won't be home any time soon.

Until we catch this daring rat,

you will not go home.

Well,

there's someone that comes to mind.

- Sure. - Right.

(Reporter Moon Yong Jun)

Are you kidding me?

Why did you run the story without checking the facts?

You said you heard him say it.

You even waged 100 dollars on it...

and spoke with confidence. Don't you remember that?

Come on. Don't you know me?

I blow things out of proportion when I'm drunk.

He'll sue you for defamation.

You have no idea how temperamental he is!

What the...

You know well.

But you should've watched your mouth as a drunken mess.

Are you sure you can handle my temper?

Why would I need to handle it?

Because it was you.

You spread a false rumor about me.

It wasn't me.

Your eyes just darted to the top left corner.

According to neuroscience,

it's highly likely that you're lying.

I said it wasn't me.

If only I got a snapshot of that.

"The change in eye movement when one is lying."

It would've made the perfect visual aid.

Your sickening expression that people should've gotten to see...

just proved you were lying.

Look here, Dr. Shin.

I'm a victim of yours.

Don't you know who qualifies as a victim?

Groundless rumors have been dragging my name through the mud...

which makes me the victim.

Calm down, will you?

Let's be honest, man to man.

You lied to me that day...

and used me to get what you wanted.

After what happened to my hair,

I had to drink to let off some steam.

But then I saw the murderer on the news and...

Hold on. Why did the barber say such a thing?

He said you forged something.

Why did you go from making excuses...

to questioning me?

Because I got curious. I heard him loud and clear.

Memories easily get distorted, exaggerated, and lost.

How can you be sure of what you heard...

when your hair got shaved off?

Would you be able to handle what you think you remember?

Why are you here, then?

Isn't it to see if I am the source?

I wanted to know how one should proceed...

with a defamation lawsuit.

Gangnam Police Station is close enough to hear you fart,

so why would you come all this way?

I wonder why. My feet just brought me here.

My brain...

must've led me toward the source of this groundless rumor.

That's how creative I can be.

I should check and see if the rumor is actually false.

You should look into what jobs you can get...

after you're kicked off the force.

I see you bite with your words.

The ones who are usually like that are the con artists I arrest.

You're one to talk.

You have the brain of a con artist.

Something important came up.

It's too bad,

but I'll have to hear your quips some other time.

Good luck on that consultation.

Says the crooked cop.

How dare you.

Am I in this mess because of a shady cop...

who takes bribes?

(Director Park)

Say that I went out on business.

Sure.

Yes, Director Park.

I'm out of the office...

(Korea National University Hospital)

Follow me this second.

(Korea National University Hospital)

The forgery will be easy enough to prove.

Bring me the consent form.

Kang Sung Ha brutally killed eight people.

Women, children, the elderly,

and the socially disadvantaged.

Two of his victims were in elementary school.

Bring me the consent form.

The young children...

were sexually abused and strangled to death.

How would they have felt when they closed their eyes...

in pain?

How lonely,

scared,

and in pain were they?

Enough with the nonsense.

Bring it to me.

It's gone.

I lost it.

When?

Where?

If I had known that, I would have found it.

I looked in all my drawers.

Maybe it's in the autopsy room.

Come in.

Director Park told me to bring it.

(Post-mortem Brain Donation Consent Form)

Bring it here.

Wait.

Let me.

Don't tell me...

- Are you out of your mind? - What are you doing?

- Don't! - Step back!

But...

What game are you playing?

I apologize for that.

My amygdala sensed danger and caused me to act irrationally.

Call the prison...

and ask for a copy of the consent form.

A copy won't hold up in court.

But we're not in court.

Dr. Shin Ha Ru forging the consent form...

has become a controversial matter.

What are your thoughts on it?

We'll have to wait and see,

but if he did forge the consent form,

it can only be a major ethical violation.

Even if the donor was a hardened criminal...

(Director Park)

(Dr. Shin Ha Ru at Brain Hub Forges Consent Form)

It's me.

Do you have a moment to talk?

The prison doesn't have the original document.

We're in the process of confirming the forgery.

We both know it will be proven as one.

If he did forge the document,

I won't be able to shield him.

There will be a disciplinary hearing,

and I'll have to comply with what the committee decides.

Why must he always be a loose cannon?

He is becoming more impossible to manage.

It's his brain.

You're aware...

of the secret it harbors.

You're like...

a father to Ha Ru.

Please give him one last chance.

I'll make sure...

that he apologizes.

Apologize?

The stress must be making me hear things.

It's for your own sake.

Things don't look so good.

Your punishment could be severe.

And whose loss will that be?

Do you think Brain Hub can function without me?

Ha Ru.

Will you please give in just this once?

(Disciplinary Committee)

I apologize.

I forged the consent form and hurt the center's reputation.

I apologize for that.

But will you please let me explain why I had no choice...

but to go to such extremes?

Kang Sung Ha was a brute who took eight lives.

Because of him, not just his victims,

but his victims' families suffered and so did their communities.

You know how grievous that damage was.

To reduce the likelihood of this happening again,

I'm working on the Psychopathic Brain Rebuilding Project,

and his brain is a must for our research.

If this project succeeds,

we can protect multitudes from serious crimes.

Isn't that...

real and true justice that science can bring about?

(Disciplinary Committee Member)

Yes. I get it.

My actions were immoral.

But...

just like Edward Jenner injected his gardener's...

eight-year-old son with the smallpox vaccine,

science developed with the aid of certain immoral experiments.

You all know that.

If I'd adhered to every moral restraint,

would Brain Hub even exist?

To be honest...

aren't you all able to focus on your research because...

I stopped at nothing to bring you fresh brain tissue?

(Disciplinary Committee Member)

The BCI Center.

The research building.

So we could build the building that houses all your cushy offices,

I think I told at least a thousand lies to our investors.

You, sir. Your fountain pen.

(Disciplinary Committee Member)

Your brand new phone.

(Disciplinary Committee Member)

(Committee Subject)

I got you them for free.

Do you know that?

This is crazy.

It turned out the consent form was a forgery.

I was right, wasn't I?

And what did he say to me?

Gosh, the shameless fool.

Sorry, but you said it was a drunken frenzy.

A disciplinary committee was summoned.

My hunch...

and instinct to uncover criminals...

were not dulled even when I was drunk!

What will happen to Dr. Shin, then?

He's ruined.

(Disciplinary Committee Member)

We suspect his moral compass as a researcher,

so Brain Hub's disciplinary committee...

has decided to dismiss Dr. Shin Ha Ru.

Can you handle the aftermath of this decision?

Director Park. Don't you think this is a bit too harsh?

Ha Ru.

When humans care how other people feel,

do you think it's out of altruism or selfishness?

Take a break and think about it.

(Welcome to Brain Hub.)

Darn it.

Will you answer the...

Hello?

Dr. Shin.

It's the guy who spread the false rumor.

Oh, no. It turned out to be a fact.

Thank you so much.

Thanks to you, I got to prove that my hunch is still sharp...

even when I'm drunk.

Listen.

Why don't you come by one day?

As a way of saying thanks,

I'll serve you a nice cup of sweet coffee.

It'll help with your extreme levels of stress.

I'll wait to hear from you, then.

Gosh, my coffee's hot.

Have you lost your mind, idiot?

What is the matter with you?

Darn you, psycho!

What do you want from me?

Ha Ru.

Ha Ru.

Why didn't you make a sound?

You scared me.

What were you thinking about?

How did my life end up like this overnight?

Where did it start to go wrong?

Stuff like that.

Who knows?

It could become a new opportunity.

You won't have to pay too much for the commercials' breach of contract.

"What's so bad about using a murderer's brain for research?"

That's the public sentiment.

(Agreement to Cancel Contract)

We settled on a decent amount.

That public sentiment.

Is Brain Hub aware of it?

Let's forget about them.

The Max Planck Institute wants you to join.

No.

To be honest, I think you're wasting away here.

A bigger pond...

So many world-renowned institutes asked me to join them.

Don't you know why I said no?

I wanted to stay here, in my country.

To bring up the level of brain research in Korea.

If all I wanted was success and riches,

I wouldn't have stayed at Brain Hub.

I worked like mad to put them on track,

and they kicked me out?

I'll leave when I want. Now is not the time.

I'll go back and show them all.

I swear. I'll go back.

Okay, then.

You might as well take a break while you're at it.

Why not visit Dr. Eaton...

No.

There's something I must do before I return.

Something you must do?

What is it?

Something my brain wants.

He got fired?

Of course.

Even if he was a criminal,

if you go about stuff with no regard for the law,

what would that do to our law and order?

If I ever set eyes on him,

I'll just dropkick...

What... are you doing here?

Why are you here?

- Didn't you say you'd wait? - What?

Did you actually come here...

for some sweet coffee?

Congratulations.

You'll get to see my blessed face for a while.

What hilarious news is this?

I'm joining the team as a consultant.

In a cooperative capacity of sorts.

"Cooperation?"

You and me? Does that even make sense?

I know.

Why do you think I volunteered...

to do something so nonsensical?

Because you're insane?

Yes. That's right.

Your drunken comment is hindering my project,

which was going successfully,

as well as the advancement of neuroscience.

So seeing you play a cop as if nothing had happened...

was driving me nuts.

Get ready for it.

I'll stay glued to you...

and chew you to pieces.

(Brain Works)

I have a bad feeling about this.

The way he looks at me...

We'll get him fired.

You're dead meat now.

He lost his job due to an ethical issue.

We can't keep him on as our advisor.

No!

Darn it!

Leave me alone, will you?

I've finally figured it out.

The person who killed Kim Jae Won.

Who are you?

The real culprit.
