OVER RARE DISEASES CASES.

EPISODE 3

Let's see.

Granny sends all kinds of stuff.

Oh, such expensive stuff.

Goodness.

How's it going? Take care of yourself...

Chief...

I've been wondering.



Are you really not going to throw
me a welcome party? That makes me sad.

Welcome party? Maybe if someone cute came.

Don't be like that.
Why don't you buy us rib eyes?

If I had ribs with cold noodles,
I would have no further wishes.

Look here, Chief.

Rib eyes and cold noodles!
We'll have to eat that.

Goodness. You just got here
and you're already being a pest.

Fine, let's stuff ourselves.

Chief, Chief, she's the best!

Detective Kang, let's go eat.

Sorry to ruin the mood.

Come on, that's not cool.

Totally ruined the mood!

Beef ribs... flying away. Don't go!



Beef ribs...

Name, Myung-shin Kim. Age, 47.

A homemaker. Found stabbed
in the chest in her home.

Estimated time of death, 11 p.m.
Found by neighbors.

Her husband died three years ago
from cancer.

Has a son who isn't
living with her currently.

Seems like a typical murder.
Why was this sent to us?

Because of the criminal.

In-ho Jung. Age 26.

Sent to an orphanage
at age 1, so no background info.

Records show he suffers from the
rare disease Recklinghausen.

Because of this, we brought him
to do some further investigating.

So what kind of disease is this?

Von Recklinghausen syndrome.
It's a type of neurofibromatosis.

There are many types of neurofibromatoses,
and this is type one.

It's a type of nervous system disease.

Tumors erupt
all up to the peripheral nervous system.

You get coffee colored spots,

and tumors of various sizes occur
all over the body, under the skin.

Currently, there are treatments
for the symptom but no real cure.

So this disease...

It was in the movie The Elephant Man ,
right?

That's the general opinion...

but some say that's Proteus syndrome.

The appearance of the character resembles
that of a person with Proteus syndrome.

You said this is the criminal,
so did he confess?

Yes, he admitted to the crime.

The fingerprints on the weapon,
the hair and saliva on the victim,

the witness testimonies, and the
circumstances of the case all match.

Then it's game over.

What was his motive?

He's not saying anything
other than that he killed her.

Detective Kang, do you have a picture
showing his full frame?

I do.

A confession is a confession...

but we'll have to check
the exact cause of death.

Wow, this is a handful.

Her left shoulder is dislocated,

and her right elbow is also dislocated.

This might have been
from her breaking the fall.

There are abrasion wounds
on her left knee.

Her left fifth rib has been dislocated,

and the stab wound is between
her right eighth and ninth ribs.

Before getting stabbed, it seems
like she was beaten violently.

Yes. She was beat up first, and then
stabbed to death.

Cause of death, as we suspected,

is due to loss of blood
from a stabbed artery.

The stab wound looks peculiar.

On inspection, it seems like the knife

first hit the ribs and was stopped by it.

He then got a firmer grip,
and the next stab

went through the liver and into the aorta.

I see.

Okay, I got it.

In that case, let's do a physical
strength test on the criminal.

Why?

I couldn't tell from just his face,

but from his body, it looked like
a progressed state of disease.

Seems like the disease had spread
to the brain and spinal cord.

If that were the case,
it would be difficult

to hit someone with your hand,
let alone gripping a knife.

You don't need a strong grip
to stab someone.

Sure, maybe that's true for the knife.

Think about it.

A woman of this size

got beaten up without any resistance,
by a man severely suffering from NF-1.

It makes no sense.

So you're saying that In-ho Jung
might not be the criminal?

Yes.

Of course, further examination
could prove otherwise.

Detective Kang, could you
arrange a warrant for that?

Okay.

I thought it would be easy this time.

The warrant will expire in an hour.

Is he still not speaking?

Yes.

For now, we learned his motive
from the neighbors.

Tell her.

Yes, sir.

The victim Myung-shin Kim was

the district chairwoman, and in charge
of the local development.

And this year, a rehabilitation center

was planned to be built in the area.

So she started a petition to oppose it.

Due to this, the city office
postponed the decision.

The community worker tried
to convince the people

but it was no use and
the opposition grew stronger.

Critically, the victim was abusive
to the criminal

both physically and verbally.

In-ho, did you kill her
because of her abusive behavior

and movement against the disabled?

Yes.

Then tell us what happened.

Starting from when you entered the house.

I wasn't myself, so I can't remember well.

Did you really kill her?

Yes, that's correct.

I killed her.

I really did kill her, so put me in jail.

I will pay for my crimes.

You have to explain everything
for it to be processed.

I said it was me.
Why do you keep doing this?

Please believe my words.

Goodness! What the hell is wrong with him?

I came to see Detective Kang.

Oh, there she is now.

-Please report to me.
-Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me,

are you the detective
in charge of In-ho's case?

Yes.

I'm Woo-hyuk Lee, the community
worker assigned to In-ho Jung.

Could I see In-ho briefly?

I'm sorry.
The regulations don't allow that.

In-ho

would never do anything like that.

Never.

I met In-ho 16 years ago,
at a facility that my son was in.

My son has Down syndrome.

In-ho was the same age as my son
so I naturally got to know him.

It got to the point
where he became like my own child.

He doesn't talk much
and might have trouble communicating,

but he has a lot of affection.

How could someone
like that do such a thing?

This might be disrespectful
to the deceased,

but she was over the top.

How many times did I tell you
to leave this neighborhood?

-Huh? You rascal...
-Hey!

Stop it!

You know that he's
suffering from his condition.

Who told him to be born like that?

It's all his and his parents' fault.
Why are you telling me off?

Don't you feel any sympathy?

-Hey, you...
-Really...

It was unbearable,
but we did our best to hold back.

Every chance I got,
I tried to persuade her

to allow the rehabilitation center.

However, it never did any good.

So...

how did he end up living alone
in such an unfriendly neighborhood?

In-ho wanted it. He wanted
to live among other people.

Since the facility was to be built there,

I thought it was fortunate for In-ho.

On the day of the case, did you
meet the victim, Myung-shin Kim?

No.

I last met her
three or four days before she died.

At that time, I gave her this book.

Those magazines!

I saw them placed in hospitals.

Yes.

Detective,

I won't ask you to overlook the crime,

but please take the circumstances
into consideration.

His condition is really serious.

Chief,

tumors were found
in his brain and spinal cord.

Dr. Han was right.

Wow, the Lisch nodules are severe too.

At this condition, even daily activities
would be difficult.

Should we test his physical strength too?

I don't think we'll need to.

Can't you tell just
by looking at this spinal cord?

Let Detective Kang
know about this finding.

Yes.

We'll have to investigate all over again.

Come on, why are you letting
something like this bother you?

Going back to square one is what we do
besides getting a perfect score.

Something feels wrong.

Like Yeo-rang Lee's case last year.

Yeo-rang Lee?

Oh, Yeo-rang!

This is nothing like that case.

His hand is in no shape
to even hold a knife.

You're positive about that, right?

Goodness...

How dare you doubt me!

Hey!

Wake up! I'm Jin-woo Han.

I'm the person who is praised as
the lord of all doctors.

I am your mental support!

When you talk like that, Dr. Han,

I think you're the one
who got that disease.

What disease?

You know,

the crazy-cocky-acting-disease.

Wow.

How could you use a phrase like that?

You certainly are a charming woman.

You realized that now?

Be quiet. I got a phone call.

Hello.

Hello?

Hello?

What the...

There's no caller ID.

Maybe it was just a sales call.

So charming.

It's obvious that there was a struggle.

From this scene,

it seems like they were fighting
all over the place.

It seems so.

With his walking difficulties,
this shouldn't be possible.

Let's go eat.

These haven't been opened yet.

Oh that? That young man,

he brought them to the district
chairwoman's house every night.

Since the chairwoman was
against the care facilities,

I guess he was offering a bribe
in some way.

That's one simple bribe.

Did he do it daily?

Yes. Every day while going home from work.

Somewhere between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.

He always did so around that time.

I'm sure the trouble happened that day

when he went delivering those drinks.

I...

I trust your confession
more than anyone else.

You would have wanted to kill her,

since she insulted you numerous times.

But still,

no one would commit murder

just for being insulted.

Until the murder, you were just
someone with a defection.

Now you're truly a monster.

Dr. Min.

How does it feel

to become a monster?

It feels

the same.

Then,

and even now.

Whether I kill a person,

or do good deeds...

No...

even if I stay still

and don't do anything,

you guys see me in the same way.

The exact same way.

Please explain
the circumstances of that day.

The day before, we went
to the spa with Myung-shin.

We came back the next day around 10 p.m.

Myung-shin went straight home.

I went to her house and we chatted a bit.

Then,

while I was going by Myung-shin's house...

I could tell it was him
at a single glance.

So creepy.

We definitely cannot have that
disability-care center

in our neighborhood.

We'll have so many
of his kind all over the place.

It's such a disgusting idea.

Is the care facility like
the Fukushima prefecture?

Are you afraid of radiation
coming out of it?

Do you think they're contagious?

Why is it a disgusting facility?

Goodness, imagine that
being in your neighborhood.

We'll see then.

Goodness, I wouldn't say anything
even if we had a hundred of them.

How could you people be like that?

It's not good for our kids either.

They get so scared and even cry.

Goodness, these ladies.

That's real character building.
Learning to live together.

To be honest,

those scantily clad girls dancing on TV

are much more worse for your children.

Mom! Mom!

-What am I going to do!
-Mother!

-They're totally putting on a show.
-I know.

Who is that?

Myung-shin's son.

Ever since she refused
to support his business,

he hasn't even shown his face.

Now that she's dead, he appears.

It's all pretend, a show.

Looking for what he can get from her,
right?

When was the last time
that you saw your mother?

Two years ago.

I was busy with my own life...

so I couldn't see her often.

Do you know anyone who might
have a grudge on your mother?

No.

She was a kind and gentle person.

Do you

have any other suspects?

Oh, that odd-faced guy?

I hear he committed the crime.

I knew something was wrong about him
ever since he moved here.

That jerk...
If he ever shows up in front of me...

What are you going to do if he does?

What?

So overreacting.

Let's go, Detective Kang.

I said no at first.

However, for three full days,
he constantly begged to let him work here.

I hear that he receives around 100,000 won

only from disability aid, so
how could he survive off of that?

I felt sorry for him
so I let him work in the end.

Goodness. His condition
would've made it hard for him to work.

What exactly did he do?

He sat over there.

His job was to organize stuff.
Putting stuff in a box.

A very easy task.

Oh, the smell...

Look at all that mold.

How could you not be sick
living in a place like this?

Such conditions would do nothing
but worsen his state.

But what's up with all the doodling?

At least within this room,

it seems he was able
to get along with people.

I guess so.

And

with a bright smile.

Difficult, so difficult...

The confessing suspect
is incapable of the crime.

And we have no other suspects.

So why in the world did he confess?

There could be a completely
different possibility.

Perhaps,

the suspect wasn't the culprit

but the first witness.

Another suspect had
already killed Myung-shin.

In-ho had found her in that state
while dropping off a drink.

Although he tried to help,
he got accused as the criminal.

However, we don't have
any evidence to back that up yet.

Regardless of the evidence,

it's unlikely that our suspect is
capable of committing this crime.

In order to provoke his violent nature,

I asked him some harsh questions.

He seems to have accepted
the distrust of other people.

I couldn't see
any hint of violence in him.

Then why did he confess?

He has given up.

So many witnesses
and evidence against him.

He couldn't see any way to rebut them.

He didn't think anyone would believe
what he said.

Come on.

Even so, why would he flat out say
he killed her?

You have to read
the other person's emotions.

That can't be done
with just a genius' mind.

You can't just trust your intellect.
She's talking about you.

Me?

What did I do?

Neurofibromatosis...

Hello.

Hello?

Hello?

If you called, you should talk...

What the heck? So bothersome.

Seong-do.

This.

Lie down here.

What are you doing?

Just lie still.

That's nasty.

Sorry, I misjudged the amount of water.

Once again.

May 8, Father's Day!

Is that me?

Goodness...

In-ho.

Do you want to play soccer with them?

Can you do well?

Alright.

Let's go play soccer then.

Later, when you're cured,

I'll make sure you get in the soccer club.

I'll get you a cool uniform
and buy you shoes.

Okay?

Get out!

Why do you keep coming and annoying me?

Geez, so loathsome.

In-ho!

Tastes great.

Wow,

I've received a drink

from my In-ho.

I know

it must be difficult for you.

I felt so sorry

that I wanted to tell you to stop.

But I won't anymore.

Why not?

This work

brings you happiness.

So I want to do something for you

no matter what or how.

I...

I'm happy because you're here, kid.

Thank you,

and

I'm sorry.

Look at this guy.

You shouldn't talk like that.

Okay?

Hello.

Hello.

Again, no talking.

Jin-woo, it's me.

Who is this?

It's me, Young-eun.

Hey, Young-eun.

It's been a while.

Have you been doing well?

Yes.

You've been well too, right?

Me?

How'd you get my number?

I...

just found out somehow.

Well...

You...

What are you doing these days?

Just this and that.

I called because I just
wanted to hear your voice.

It hasn't changed at all, your voice.

Jin-woo, I'll call again later.

Sorry!

Oh, okay.

Okay.

This is the panorama image

based on the results we got today.

These are the possible routes
the criminals could have taken.

The marked places are potential evidence.

In-ho's fingerprints were confirmed.

How about other fingerprints?

A total of seven prints were
found in the living room.

Among them, four were from neighbors
and they have solid alibis.

However, two people weren't
able to confirm their alibis.

JULY EDITION

The first is the community
worker, Woo-hyuk Lee.

The second took a while to figure out.

It belongs to Myung-shin's son,
Duk-hoon Oh.

He was charged for fraud and assault.

Didn't the social service person say
that she saw him often?

Duk-hoon Oh said
he hasn't come home in two years.

Oh right.

At the funeral home,
the ladies were talking about him.

They said he was putting up a show.

If that vase was broken
during the fight that day,

it means he was there on that day.

Don't worry, man.
When Mom's inheritance is settled,

I'll repay you right away.

Stop worrying and stuff.

I think I keep hearing
someone's life going downhill.

Yes.

Do you agree?

Why did you lie?

You know why. The old folks say,

"Don't tie your shoe laces
in the cucumber field,

and don't fix your hat in the plum field."

What?

I don't care about that. Why did you lie?

Well, that's because you'd call me in
like this and bother me.

I just came to see my mom.

How do we know whether you
came to see or hurt your mother?

Even though I'm a terrible son,
would I hurt my very own mother?

I had a good case,
so I asked her to help me.

She was getting upset again!
So I got upset as well.

That's all.

Exactly what time did you go see her?

I was drunk, so I can't remember well.

It was around nine o'clock.

I was there only for 20 or 30 minutes.

Then what did you do between
10 and 11 p.m.?

I was playing billiard
in the nearby store.

Go ask him!

And the results?

The alibi is valid.
He was on the CCTV at the billiard place.

It seems like he spent the night playing.

Darn it, another dead end.

And the social service guy?

He was sleeping in his home with his son.

Any witnesses?

He lives in a secluded place

so it was difficult
to get neighbors to confirm.

Just in case, keep asking around
till we get something conclusive.

Yes, sir.

CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE

CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE

JULY EDITION

All done. Pass me the towel.

JULY EDITION

We found this book at the crime scene.

It's the book you gave
Myung-shin Kim, right?

Yes, like I told you last time.

However, there's something strange.

This is July's edition.

It turns out, it was
released on June 20th, at 2 p.m.

The crime occurred on
June 20th between 10 and 11 p.m.

That means you gave this book
to her on the day of the crime.

I thought you said you last
saw her three days before the crime.

I guess I was mistaken.

I think I did visit her
briefly in the afternoon.

Myung-shin Kim was at the spa all day
and came back at 9 p.m.

That means she received
that book after 9 p.m.

Woo-hyuk Lee, there's
something wrong with your alibi.

I think it's time for you
to tell us everything.

Oh, careful.

Please sit here.

Now it seems like
the puzzle is coming together.

Right, Detective Kang?

In-ho Jung, you committed murder.

And you're the accomplice.

You were there to persuade her again.

Due to her harsh words,
you resorted to violence.

That day, In-ho dropped off a drink
at Myung-shin's home.

That's when he saw the situation.

While your emotions got too high,
you stabbed her with a knife.

However it wasn't fatal
because it hit her ribs.

Unaware of this, you fled the scene.

The shocked In-ho entered the home.

She was barely conscious with
wounds on her arms and shoulder.

So it was hard for her
to move either arms.

She was unable to pull out the knife.

In a rush of anger,
In-ho pushed the knife in deeper...

and murdered Myung-shin.

No, I murdered her.

No, I murdered her.

Look at his condition,
how could he kill anyone?

No.

At first I thought the same,
but now I realized that he can.

On the victim,
you can find In-ho's saliva.

With his mouth condition

his saliva leaks
from the right side of his mouth.

If he were standing, there's no way
that amount would be present.

To achieve it, you would have to
be directly above the victim.

Then naturally,
the saliva falls next to it.

From above, In-ho pushed the knife deeper.

Where did he get the strength?

With the condition of his hands,
In-ho can't grip a knife.

But due to his repetitive work,
he developed his wrist strength.

Even without gripping the knife,
he could push with his strength.

That's not true!

I did it!

In-ho was simply there with me.

This stupid kid
is taking the blame for me.

-Mr. Lee!
-Shut up!

If she hadn't said those words...

I wouldn't have done this.

I'll beg you one last time.

Please show consideration.

Consideration my butt.

Why don't you show
consideration and leave?

Go live up in a mountain somewhere,
since we have lots of mountains.

Chairwoman...

Gosh, you interfere too much.

Just take care of your own retarded kid.

Why are you looking after
some other's retarded kid too?

What did you say?

I said retarded, why?

What did he do in his past life
to be punished like that?

Apologize, right now.

I won't.
What are you going to do about it?

Hey, are you making money off of this?

Do you get something out of all this?

Then why are you doing this?

Get out.

So I stabbed and killed her.

No, he's lying.

Just sit still!

Please, Mr. Lee, if you do this,
everything will be in vain.

I... I'll explain everything.

In-ho!

Woo-hyuk Lee, please be quiet.

In-ho...

In-ho.

You can't, don't do this.

Please, just do as I say.

In-ho.

Please go.

Please go now.

If this woman lives, you'll
have to go to jail, Mr. Lee.

If you go to prison, who'll
take care of the other kids?

Who'll make that facility for us?

We need a father figure.

No one should live like me.

You idiot...

My words are the truth.

I really killed her.

I shouldn't have listened to In-ho then.

He's such a kind boy...

And I made him into this.

No...

Even if this didn't happen,

nothing would have changed for me anyway.

It would be better

to live

as a real monster.

I love you, Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee, do you want to know
how I would like to live?

How?

I want to live a normal life.

Marry a pretty woman,

and have about three kids.

It won't be easy to live a normal life.

And you think you will
be able to meet a pretty girl?

I am quite good-looking!

Then what do you want as your job?

I want to make real good food

and make a real good restaurant.

Then people without money
won't be able to enter.

No, that's not true.

That restaurant will be open for everyone,
whether they are rich or poor,

and make sure
every customer has a good meal.

Can I go there, too?

Of course!

I will live a luxury life, thanks to you!

Of course!

But you should buy me a meal today!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee?

The facility for the disabled.

It'll be canceled
because of this case, right?

Probably.

The people were looking for any excuse.

And now they have one.

This case, you and I,
we both did our parts to solve it!

Is that important?
The important thing is that we solved it!

You always count your share like that.

This is very important!

Well, in that sense,
even though it's a bit old...

Should we do something like,
Kyung-hee! Jin-woo! Cross?

What is that? It's so immature!

This isn't immature,
it holds such a great meaning!

Please, just once!

It's my last wish!
Please! Just once! Once.

This will be the first
and the last time I do this.

Okay.

Let's go then!

Kyung-hee!

Jin-woo!

Cross!

You're pathetic.

It's so embarrassing!
Everybody is looking at us.

Seriously.

It's okay, I'll get used to this.

It's okay now.

Dr. Jang.

When you watch the movie The Elephant Man ,

some doctor takes the main character
to his hospital to cure him,

but rather makes him
a laughing stock to the people.

Yes.

Do you know the worst instinct
mankind possesses?

To exclude those different from themselves

and treat them as inferiors.

From that, they feel
a sense of superiority.

That superiority leads to violence.

It does not only destroy the body,
but also the soul.

How is it that people don't know
what an inhumane act that is?

No.

They are well aware of it.

They just rationalize themselves
by the word "majority."

Just as if

they are intoxicated by a strong drug.

Why did you have to call me?

This wasn't even on the surgery list!

Is this something urgent?

It's death under suspicious circumstances.

What?

It has no fingerprints,
and we don't know who she is.

We thought we shouldn't wait any longer,

so we are just doing this.

Let's start.

Okay.

Are you not feeling good?

Pardon?

Wow...

I'll just take a rest for ten minutes.

No, no.

Go and take a good rest.

We'll take care of this.

No, ten minutes will be enough.

I just called to hear your voice.

It hasn't changed at all, your voice.

Jin-woo, I'll call again later. Sorry!

Doo-tae wasn't just my stooge.

He was like a little brother to me.

Name, Doo-tae Kang, 30 years old.

He is the action leader in a mafia
called the "White Tigers."

As he was being chased
by an opposing mafia,

he got into a fight
at the amusement park and died.

What is the cause of death?

There is no cause of death.

There is no cause of death?

Jin-woo, you are such a great person.

Sometimes it scares me
that you are a good person.

That was it!
