It's Yoon Ji Hoon.
Find him.
Now!
To facilitate police investigation,
we order you to turn in all the samples and materials you have.
Move aside. Quick!
Shouldn't you apologize first?
- Move aside. - I won't.
- Move aside! - What's wrong with you?
Get out of the way!
Hey!
Lift it.
Lift it, quickly.
Stop now.
I can't do that.
You're finished.
Start the incision.
62 hours ago.
Three,
two,
one.
Cue!
Next, stand by.
Stand by.
Seo Yoon Hyung! Seo Yoon Hyung!
Thank you, thank you.
Yes, he's walking out.
What is the next song? When will the second part start?
We're about to start.
Good job! Good!
- Nice job. - Was it really?
Yes, it was very good.
You should debut in Japan too.
Seo Yoon Hyung! Seo Yoon Hyung! Seo Yoon Hyung!
Everyone stand by.
Five seconds left. Four, three, two, one.
Cue!
Where's Seo Yoon Hyung?
Seo Yoon Hyung?
Seo Yoon Hyung!
Seo Yoon Hyung's disappeared.
Find Seo Yoon Hyung, hurry!
Yes! We'll look for him!
Look for Yoon Hyung. Quickly!
Yes, sir.
Find Seo Yoon Hyung!
I said find him!
What's happening?
- Have you found him? - No.
Hurry up.
Hurry and find him!
What are you doing here?
Episode 1
Seo Yoon Hyung of the pop idol group "Voice" was found dead.
This news has shocked the nation.
Seo Yoon Hyung was found dead in the dressing room around 8pm.
Fans are unable to leave the concert venue after hearing of Seo Yoon Hyung's sudden death.
They are in utter shock, and the venue is filled with chaos.
Hurry and take them away!
It's like these girls are on drugs! They keep screaming and pushing.
Our men can't focus. Sorry.
Excuse me!
The investigation team is still not here?
Excuse me!
Do they want to quit their jobs?
It's me.
I'm from the investigation team. I'm here.
Quiet!
I am Go Da Kyung from the forensics unit of the Seoul Central Prosecution Bureau.
Why aren't you wearing your uniform?
Because I was in a hurry.
You don't know the rules here?
I'm sorry.
What a mess this is here.
Police Line Do Not Cross
Isn't it different from what you see on TV?
Hi!
I heard you decided to join after watching CSI on TV?
In the show someone always lifts the police line for them, and they make a grandiose entrance.
I didn't join the forensics unit for that reason.
Then why?
It's cool!
Cool?
Others work their butts off to be doctors.
Is that why you quit your residency at that prestigious hospital and joined our unit?
But it's so cool.
Superman, Batman, and Iron Man may have superpowers,
but we catch bad guys using scientific evidence and logic.
And those leading male actors in CSI have a charisma that's...
very sexy.
Do you know what others say about you?
- I'm lame? - Bingo.
This is just the start.
It'll be your first and my last case.
I'll do my best.
Let's have a look at the crime scene.
You probably wouldn't find much here.
It's neither the place the victim lived nor does it have any stuff he used much.
There were tons of people coming in and out of here,
so it's hard to find any useful fingerprints.
In this case, the best thing would be to focus on the dead body.
Let's see if it's a *** or suicide.
Or natural death?
How was his lifestyle?
Was he addicted to any drugs?
Drugs?
He never touched any drugs!
Dancing and singing were everything for him.
You may not know,
but Yoon Hyung and I
weren't just singer and manager.
We were like family.
What was Seo Yoon Hyung like?
He was the best.
Because we've been trained together for seven years since we were young.
All our group members were very close to each other.
And Yoon Hyeong and I were particularly close.
Did he have any enemies?
Yoon Hyung wasn't someone who would cause any grudge against him.
You are the first eyewitness.
What was it like at the scene?
I don't really remember.
I was just so busy looking for Yoon Hyung.
Since you were his stylist, you must be close to him.
No, I didn't really know him.
We would just say hi to each other.
There's no sign of resistance.
There's also no flesh wound.
Seems almost alive,
and not rigid.
Although we must measure the *** temperature,
the approximate time of death
should be around an hour or two ago.
Why aren't you taking pictures?
Oh, sure. Sorry.
He's young and handsome.
Such a young man at the peak of his life.
We are here to discover the true reason of his death,
But as soon as you arrive at this kind of scene,
there is not much you can do.
Is this what you'd call sexy? This job?
Yes.
Very much so.
And so?
Whoever talks a lot is lying.
Voice Entertainment is now in a serious financial crisis.
Its stock is worth as much as a piece of toilet paper.
And...
Seo's contract with this entertainment company was almost over.
Seo despised his current entertainment company and was secretly looking to join a different one.
Isn't this a good motive?
Jung Suk Hoon and Seo Yoon Hyung seemed to argue a lot.
The first witness, stylist Lee Soo Jung,
was Seo's second girlfriend.
Love and jealousy. Very obvious.
Do you think, with such crude assumptions,
you will be able to get a search warrant?
The suspects can just hire attorneys
and remain silent and it will be all over.
Stop playing around
and come back with more concrete evidence.
Who said I won't look for the evidence?
You're so feisty.
Don't bother paying attention to my personality.
And pay attention to your attire.
Why? How am I dressed?
What kind of outfit is that?
Do you think you're a pop idol?
What's so bad about it?
Out of 3,000 detectives in Korea,
having one idol detective can't be that bad.
Prosecutor Jung.
Only the manager and I
have keys to enter this room.
All the other tapes are here
except for number 9.
So that person didn't touch anything
but took away the 9th tape.
Something was definitely recorded on that tape.
It's the CCTV camera at the #4 dressing room where Seo died.
Was the door locked?
Yes.
The door was locked,
and there were tons of policemen at the scene,
but the most crucial evidence was stolen?
Are you kidding?
I said the first thing you need to do at the crime scene
was to collect all the CCTV tapes!
Prosecutor Jung.
Please relax a bit.
Yelling doesn't find lost evidence.
All the witnesses are lying,
the crime scene is a mess,
and the most important piece of evidence is lost.
Are you expecting me to calm down?
There's one more piece of evidence.
The most important piece of evidence.
I'll wrap things up here.
You should go check on the autopsy.
Later.
When a dead body with its cause of death unknown
arrives at the forensics unit,
unless the autopsy starts immediately,
the body is stored in a chamber.
In the genetics laboratory,
remnants from the crime scene, such as blood, are examined.
Meanwhile, in the medical examination unit,
using the corpse's teeth condition,
the age and sex of the victim are determined.
And the results are added to the victim's profile.
Using these data,
profilers classify and analyze numerous types of crimes.
Numerous new crimes are studied and classified accordingly.
Lastly, this is...
the autopsy room, the most important place of the forensics unit.
At least 3,000 autopsies are performed here each year.
As you can see,
one medical examiner and 3 assistants work as a group
when performing the autopsy.
Even though the victims can't speak anymore, their bodies
will always tell the story of how they came to die.
They use their bodies to explain their death.
Here, we abide by the motto,
"We listen for the last words of the dead,
for we're their very last friend."
Everyone,
this is the Chief of the National Forensics Service,
Chief Jung Byung Do.
Attention!
Salute!
They are the 27th class from the police academy.
They're touring here today.
This place is
the core of criminal investigation.
I wish you all the best.
At ease.
Good job.
Citizens and the opposition party suspect the death was due to an accident at the site,
while Young Jin Construction and the ruling party claim the death was by natural cause.
The 2 sides are involved in a heated debate.
Later today, Kim Gun Woo's autopsy results will be revealed at the Congressional hearing.
The political world,
with the impending elections and the public's interest at stake,
is highly tuned in to the autopsy results.
You served as the head of the forensics association.
You're now the dean of the Department of Forensics
at Sang Moon University, which has the top medical school in the nation.
You're worthy of the title, the top forensics scholar.
Well then,
you performed the autopsy on Kim Gun Woo, who died at the construction site.
Could you share the results with us?
The cause of death was... internal bleeding.
The internal bleeding caused a sudden death.
Sudden death due to an internal cause...
are you saying it was a natural death?
Yes.
Are you sure of the autopsy result?
Is there any possibility that it might have been an accidental death?
The word "absolute" is banned in the forensic scientist's vocabulary.
But this time, I feel confident using that word.
I absolutely believe that Kim's death was natural.
We don't ask these questions because we doubt your expertise,
but there is another forensic scientist who questions your results.
I'd like to call another witness to the stand.
From the National Forensics Service,
Doctor Yoon Ji Hoon.
Witness,
please introduce yourself.
From the National Forensics Service,
I am Examiner Yoon Ji Hoon.
All of Kim's medical samples,
and all other materials related to his death,
have been carefully re-examined by Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon.
Could you please share your results?
The cause of death was
hemorrhage in the brain due to an external force.
The nature of the death is accidental.
Are you saying that the results of Professor Lee are incorrect?
I am only saying what I saw.
The autopsy result
confirms that there was an extensive hemorrhage in the skull.
And the results show that the cause of bleeding
was subarachnoid hemorrhage* (*bleeding within the membranes of a brain)
caused by the victim hitting his head hard against a wall.
Dr. Yoon.
Yes.
The esteemed Professor Lee Myung Han sitting next to you--
you know him well, don't you?
We were once colleagues at the NFS.
Professor Lee Myung Han
and your mentor Jung Byung Do
were once competing for the position of Chief of the NFS.
I heard that
ever since, your relationship with Professor Lee Myung Han
has not been very good.
How is your relationship now?
Is it possible,
that because of your ill feelings towards the professor,
that you are refuting his autopsy results?
It's true.
...that, like you said, I don't have a good relationship with Professor Lee Myung Han.
To be more accurate, it's bad.
But, just for his own interests, he turns suicide into a ***.
And says an accident was a natural death.
Does he have the right to do whatever he wants with the autopsy results?
The result of the autopsy,
has nothing to do with my relationship with Professor Lee Myung Han!
Solely based on objective evidence,
finding the right cause of death is what we have to do.
Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon.
Still the same.
You don't consider your surroundings
and speak your mind as you please.
How's the Chief?
Is he still
the same?
Thanks to you, he's very well.
The Chief's tenure
will be finished soon.
Are you still
unable to give up your greedy ambition to be Chief of the NFS?
I hear you're busy lobbying around
to be the chief for the next term.
Don't
speak so rashly.
At the NFS,
a person such as yourself
won't be a good match.
The person who doesn't match the NFS is Chief Jung Byung Do.
How's the NFS's current situation?
South Korea's population is 50,000,000,
but the NFS's manpower
is only 300 employees.
The NFS is lacking in money and manpower,
and he is too complacent.
If you want to do something about this,
there's something you need.
Power.
With power,
you can change the situation.
The NFS's priority is not to gain power.
That's why you won't do.
The person the NFS needs is neither you nor Chief Jung.
It needs...a person like me.
I heard that you went to the Congressional hearing.
Don't bother confronting Professor Lee.
If you make him your enemy,
you're the one who'll suffer.
I never changed him into my enemy.
He has personal connections
with policemen and politicians.
If you're not careful, you might get hurt.
But isn't that wrong?
Are medical examiners puppets of policemen and politicians?
He knows when to lower his head,
and when to compromise when necessary.
- He's also skilled. - But that's wrong.
If I lower my head and make compromises,
why do we even need a forensics team?
You do it then.
Do what?
Do Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy.
The entire nation is interested in this autopsy.
Like you said,
someone who won't lower their head or make compromises
should take this on.
OK, I'll do it.
Stop touching and just go away.
Why are you even here?
Oh, Jae Young.
I hear that Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy
is going to be done by Doctor Yoon Ji Hoon.
If it's a big case like that,
then Doctor Yoon should definitely do it.
What about Doctor Yoon?
Doctor Yoon may be able to perform an autopsy,
but his personality sucks.
I hear that at the Congressional meeting,
he talked back to Professor Lee.
How dare he mess with my professor.
You like him?
Do you like Professor Lee that much?
Well, Miss Hong always takes Professor Lee's side
because she's so infatuated with him.
She probably can die for him.
What are you talking about?
How dare you accuse me of being infatuated with him?
That's nonsense!
I'm only saying this because you always take his side.
What I meant was...
Considering his personality and appearance,
he is so superior...
Why are you adding appearance there?
I'm just saying...
What?
Fine. Whatever. I don't know!
She says she doesn't know!
Oh yeah! Did you hear?
At Seo Yoon Hyung's crime scene,
one of the security tapes was stolen.
What? What the heck were the police doing?
That's what I'm saying!
There were lots of policemen
and this is a case that's got the entire country's attention,
but despite all that,
a security tape disappears.
Doesn't something smell fishy?
What smell?
How should I say it...
Behind this case,
there must be a huge conspiracy.
Oh, again!
Here he goes again.
Conspiracy expert, Ahn Sung Jin,
what's the plot this time?
This time the Japanese yakuza gangs are retaliating
against the Korean Wave*. (*popularity of South Korean pop culture)
What?
Excuse me.
Hello.
Isn't this a collar bone?
How can you just leave this here?
- Dr. Hong Sook Joo. - Yes.
I hear that you're behind on the blood samples.
I'm begging you
don't just chat the whole time
and do your work properly.
Goodbye.
Wait.
Is Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon really doing the autopsy?
You know?
He's one of the best forensics scholars in the world.
What does he look like?
I'm nervous.
You might be disappointed when you see him.
Wait for me!
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm from the Seoul Central Prosecution Bureau's Forensics Unit.
My name is Go Da Kyung.
What is this?
The air conditioner.
After getting off the stage, he probably felt hot and turned it on.
I assume you measured the site temperature with the air conditioner on.
The thing is,
we arrived just when the manager turned it off.
Don't you know you should measure the site temperature without any change to it?
Isn't that common sense?
We're sure of the time of death.
The temperature and hypostasis--
What's the time of death?
Looking at his joints and neck, it's been around 3 hours since his death.
Does that match with the testimonies?
Of course!
We're sure that he died between 8:10 and 8:20 pm.
The time we arrived at the scene of the crime...
Who took these pictures?
I did.
None of these will do.
The damaged blood vessels aren't captured well here.
The thing is, this is her first case
and the crime scene was a tough one.
With all the chaos going on, she was probably overwhelmed.
This situation is uncharacteristic of you, sir.
I know this is your last case, but isn't this too much?
I served my residency in the pathology department.
Just because you do autopsies, does that make you so superior?
How can you speak that way to someone old enough to be your father?
If that's all, I'll be going.
Sure.
Wait.
Why are you ignoring me?
We collected all those fingerprints and materials.
We've done our best.
Don't you know without our site work, you can't really do autopsies?
The crime scene is very important.
But...
It's also at crime scenes where evidence is destroyed and fabricated.
Thank you, Mr. Jung. I'll be going.
What a jerk!
I told you that it was a mess.
Mr. Jung, aren't you even angry?
What a freak.
Next time I see him, I'll totally slaughter him.
Ugh, what a freaking lunatic!
I don't think this is enough, so please submit all the materials you have.
Certainly.
Dr. Yoon may be a bit arrogant,
but he's the best at what he does.
Is Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy tomorrow?
Why? Are you going?
Of course.
I'm going to see how well he does with my own eyes.
Aren't you even sad?
You've put in so much effort, but it doesn't give you any flowers.
Orchids are usually like this.
They're very difficult to grow.
However,
they show you that life should be honored,
and that one should be patient.
Listening to you,
it seems that orchid is a lot like you.
Seeing you flatter an elder
makes me think you have a request.
A request?
I've been here for 30 years.
And I've learned to read people's minds.
The head of the nation's top law firm, Attorney Jang,
could not have come all the way here
just to talk about some orchid.
You must have something important to say.
Don't you?
It's about Seo Yoon Hyung's case.
So young. Such a pity.
The case...
I hear Yoon Ji Hoon is doing the autopsy.
He's a bit eccentric and stubborn,
but here,
he's thoroughly reliable.
Actually, that's what I wanted to discuss with you.
Discuss?
I know someone who is paying very close attention to this case.
Many people are concerned about this autopsy.
Will you consider what I have to say?
I see this is something we must discuss in private.
That's right.
If so,
I think there's no reason to tell anything
to an old person like me.
If you don't listen now, you might regret it later.
People over 60 already have plenty to regret.
What difference will one more regret make?
Forensics Medical Examiner: Yoon Ji Hoon
What brings you here?
Your sulky face was the same 10 years ago.
Why are you talking about my face all of a sudden?
You think you've changed, Chief?
I told you to throw out that old shirt you've had for 10 years.
Such an irritable boy...
You need to lose your temper.
Why did you leave the photo frame crooked?
Have you eaten lunch?
Forget about lunch.
Let's take a walk.
Ji Hoon.
I told you not to call me by my first name at work.
Tomorrow is Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy?
Yes.
Tomorrow's autopsy...
how about we give it over to someone else?
Why? You don't trust me?
No, it is not that.
It's just that it makes me uneasy.
That's exactly why I should do it. Who else if not me?
If you're going to start it,
then don't make any mistakes.
Don't be swayed by prejudice.
Don't let what others say cause doubt.
Do as you always do.
What's wrong?
Is something the matter?
It's nothing.
The wind's getting cold.
Let's go inside.
Even a day after Seo Yoon Hyung's death,
police cannot name the specific nature of the death,
and the suspect is still unknown.
The nature of Seo's death will be made public tomorrow after the NFS's autopsy.
This is something only me and a couple of others know,
but this woman is Yoon Hyung's real girlfriend.
Isn't she pretty?
So pretty.
What's her name?
Her name is Kang Seo Yeon, and she's a college student.
Kang Seo Yeon.
Don't tell this to anyone.
Not to the police, not even to the prosecutor.
Understood?
But...
Yoon Hyung is dead.
Even if the truth is discovered,
it won't bring Yoon Hyung back to life.
One thing is certain.
You and I haven't killed Yoon Hyung.
And we have a powerful person behind us.
Someone who's powerful enough to ruin us both.
A very powerful person.
Chief.
What brings you here in the middle of the night?
It's about Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy.
We received the search order this afternoon
and the body's been sent to the NFS.
Is there a problem?
I have something to say about that.
What?
No, this is an order.
I see there is someone behind this.
Who gave the order?
You'll be hurt if you know.
Just do as you're told.
As long as you do what you're told,
then you won't need to take responsibility for what happens.
Professor, how long has it been since you've left the NFS?
Let's see...probably about 5 years?
5 years.
The evening view is lovely.
This is the best office view I've seen.
Is that so?
Well, except for one.
Really?
What place is that?
Shinwol-*** 331.
There are few offices that have a view as nice as the one from the office of the head of NIS.
How do you feel about taking over that office?
Contract
In any moment, the ambulance will arrive with Seo Yoon Hyung's body.
His death has caused enormous shock among his fans.
Seo Yoon Hyung's ambulance is coming into the National Forensics Service.
Yoon Ji Hoon
Performing an autopsy
What if someone else does the autopsy tomorrow?
It's just that I feel uneasy.
We're running into each other a lot these days.
Are you doing an autopsy today?
Aren't you going to ask what case I'm working on?
What case is it?
Seo Yoon Hyung's case.
This is Dr. Joo, who will be my assistant for the autopsy today.
He's worked at the NFS before. So you probably know his face.
Good luck.
This behavior is a serious breach of authority.
The autopsy must be done by the National Forensics Service.
I understand,
but the autopsy is assigned by the public prosecutor.
And the prosecutor for this case...is me.
Sir. Excuse me.
If you have something to say, say it here.
Really? I can say it here?
So I can say in front of everyone here that the public prosecutor is part of a cover-up?
Don't assume things without any proof.
You know what kind of person Lee Myung Han is, the guy who's replacing me for the autopsy.
He's a man who'll do anything to get what he wants.
Wrong.
Compared to a mere medical examiner, he's a renowned professor.
And also the head of the Department of Forensics.
This case has captured the nation's attention.
I've decided that rather than an ordinary medical examiner,
someone famous like Lee Myung Han will be a better fit for the job.
Who's given you this order?
Stop being rude. Can't you be more professional?
Who gave you this order? Be honest.
Where is the corruption coming from?
Do I still seem like a naive girlfriend to you?
Don't think of me like how I used to be.
I'm the public prosecutor for this case.
The request for an autopsy and who does it are all my decisions.
All you have to do is cut the body in your own lab.
Do you like stabbing people in the back?
Is that your hobby?
You've always been this way.
You always do whatever you want.
But you can't do that this time.
The same goes for you.
Have you ever taken my words seriously?
Listen to me for once.
Don't touch this case.
This isn't your case anymore.
Stop being silly.
I won't let corruption happen at NFS.
Lee Myung Han
- Hey! - What?
Isn't today Yoon Ji Hoon's autopsy?
Did they replace him?
Oh yeah.
Seo Yoon Hyung Examiner: Yoon Ji Hoon
Wait.
I'll do that.
This is not Seo Yoon Hyung.
Yoon Ji Hoon.
What?
Find Yoon Ji Hoon.
Now!
Yes.
Block all exits and find him.
Hey. What happened?
Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon must be crazy!
Won't this get him suspended?
We have to stop him before he starts.
- This way, hurry. - Yes.
Move aside.
Get out of the way now!
Move aside!
You're ridiculous.
Shouldn't you at least apologize?
Move aside.
- No way. - I said move aside.
- I said no way! - Get out of the way!
I can't believe this guy.
I'm not kidding, so get out of my way!
Really...
Move aside!
- Get out of the way! - What are you doing?
I said get out of the way!
Are you crazy?
Swipe the card.
Hurry and swipe it!
Swipe the card now!
Access granted.
Yoon Ji Hoon! Yoon Ji Hoon!
Open the door!
Yoon Ji Hoon!
You said you took a class in pathology?
That's right.
Then you've probably witnessed a lot of autopsies.
Have you been an assistant before?
No.
Then try it now.
- Excuse me? - Lift it.
Lift it now. Hurry!
Stop this immediately.
I don't think I can.
Listen carefully.
You're finished.
Where's the master key?
The master key should be in the security room.
Bring it.
What?
I said bring the master key!
Yes.
How can I do an autopsy?
I can't.
I won't.
Listen.
If you leave now,
this person will never be able to say what he wants to say.
Why he died, and how he ended up here...
it's our duty to reveal that.
Personal greed, the press, and emotions--
We shouldn't let these interfere with the case.
We're his last hope.
We're the only ones who can find out how he died.
We need to finish before they find the master key.
I can't do it alone.
I'm begging you.
I'll do it.
Height approximately 180cm.
Body weight about 75 kilograms.
Age 22.
External wounds -
None.
Let's start the incision.
The cell tissue is dark red.
The blood is fluid, which commonly happens in the case of suffocation or sudden death.
Put this on the scale and record it.
The heart is 350 grams.
It's normal.
Hand over the master key!
I cannot hand over the master key without the Chief's permission.
If you won't give it to me, I'll find it myself!
How dare you!
I said if you want it, get the Chief's permission!
Give him the master key.
I am the public prosecutor for this case.
Hand it over.
Do I need to show you the search warrant?
You can read a person's life from his corpse.
His heart is strong enough to withstand several live performances per day.
It doesn't seem like it would have stopped suddenly.
The lungs and the liver are also normal.
He didn't drink or smoke.
His stomach is empty, as if he hadn't eaten for a while.
There's a slight mucous membrane hemorrhage,
but that's not enough to kill him.
Lungs, liver, and the heart.
If all internal organs are normal,
then what's the cause of death?
Doctor, they're going to open the door.
Doctor.
What are you doing?
Doctor.
Put down the scalpel.
I'm the one holding the knife for this autopsy.
I said put down the scalpel.
This autopsy is finished.
The cause of death
is obviously homicide.
