PERSONALITY DISORDER
PEOPLE WHO CAN'T FEEL GUILT
AFTER DOING SOMETHING BAD.
JUDGED BY THE EXISTENCE OF CONSCIENCE.
Be a little more patient, Honey.
These clams look amazing.
So we went to the ocean in summer...
THE NFS FOUNDED MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICES
IN FIVE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS.
THE OFFICE IN HANKOOK UNIVERSITY IS
IN CHARGE OF SECOND AUTOPSIES
AND HAS INVESTIGATION AUTHORITY
OVER RARE DISEASES CASES.
EPISODE 5
America? With me?
Yes. That's what I heard.
No, we broke up in Korea
and I came here alone.
You guys haven't kept in touch
with each other?
No, that was the last time I saw her.
We never got in touch.
Did something happen to Young-eun?
Ho-kyun Lee, 41 years old.
He threw himself out of a window
two days ago.
When this happened,
his wife and daughter were at home.
What proves that this is suicide?
Neighbors said
that he was fighting against
his disease for a while
and his wife always took care of him.
They were assuming
that's why he chose to kill himself,
to let the burden off his wife's shoulder.
Did the wife give a testimony?
Yes, she made a similar testimony too.
Why did they send him to us?
There were suspicions
that he died before the fall.
Was there anything suspicious?
From the first autopsy, the cause of death
was multiple damages by the fall,
but they also found
some other complicated issues.
First, there is a possibility
of abnormal pleura.
What about his pleura?
His pleura was filled with fluid.
It means that it was pleural effusion.
Was there any evidence
of other infection or cardiac failure?
There was no infection,
but his enlarged heart clearly indicates
that he was suffering from
cardiac failure.
And there is an angioma
between his left femur and right tibia.
And there were also abnormalities
in his scapular and phalanges.
What is so complicated?
So what was his disease?
According to the medical record,
it's metastatic bone tumor caused
by the thoracic vertebrae number ten.
Bone tumor? There is a tumor in his bone?
Yes. Judging by its state,
it must have been hard for him
to even sit down.
Among all these,
pleural effusion is what's critical.
If the pleural effusion was caused
by cardiac failure, it must've been
hard for him to jump on his own.
Then there is a possibility of homicide?
Well, we should investigate
more thoroughly.
But only the wife
and his daughter were at home.
Then the suspect is his wife?
But the wife was taking care of him
for a long time!
Come on, no such wife can do that.
Come on. You never know.
Humans are...
To be more exact, women are...
Let's take a look at it quickly.
Sure, we should
take a look at it right now.
From the outer appearance,
multiple damage done by the fall is
the cause of death.
But judging from the color change
of his tongue,
there is a possibility of drug addiction.
Drug addiction?
Yeah, the color did change a lot.
And this looks like someone
pinched him and scratched him.
Looking at his skin,
he doesn't seem to have skin disease.
I don't think
it's directly related to his death.
Everyone.
The result is similar to the first result.
According to his tongue,
stomach, and his throat...
It certainly is drug addiction.
But it's not 100% clear
about the acute cardiac failure yet.
It could've happened
before the fall or even during the fall.
You mean that someone could've
thrown him out the window?
Yes, since he can't control himself.
Then the point here is whether
he committed suicide or was killed?
That's right. For now,
the cause of death is not clear.
We got the x-ray results here.
Wow, he has great bone loss.
Please explain it to me.
Yes.
If you look at the tip of the finger,
it looks like a triangle.
It melts like a sugar cube.
That's why it's a rare disease
with a lot of causes.
If this is a rare disease
related to bone loss, it gets harder.
Was there anything
that your husband said the day he died?
No.
He was the same.
He wanted to have some clam noodle soup.
So I was fixing some.
What was your daughter doing?
She was in her room.
She is ten, wasn't she supposed
to be at school by that time?
My Luna...
She's sick.
She has autism and mental weakness.
She's under a treatment.
I see.
You must be going through
a really hard time.
Your husband's hospital records indicate
that he had bone tumor.
When did it start?
It has been about seven years.
From last year,
it was hard for him to move.
If your husband was sick,
how did you make a living?
As you saw before,
I make dolls for sale.
It's a family doll set.
I couldn't work elsewhere
since I had to take care of my family.
I got orders online and sold them.
It was all under control.
I was doing really great.
Why did he have to go like that?
Why did he not even say a word to me...
She was an angel without her wings.
Speaking of her,
you can't find a person like her
in these days.
Hello.
How's your husband?
-He's getting better.
-You guys look great.
She even got an award
from the city hall last year.
Was it hard for her husband
to move at all?
Of course it was.
He was the captain of deep-sea fishing.
It must have been really hard for him.
What do you think
of the reason of his suicide?
Think about it.
The fact that he's a burden
must have broken his heart.
How can that cost 1,000,000 won?
It's really expensive!
If you just make three
to four sets a month,
you'll get to make a fortune.
Even though it's hard
to read people's minds,
I don't think she has any reason to
kill...
This limited edition costs 2,000,000 won!
It's limited edition!
She has built a corporation of her own!
Detective Kang, this isn't right.
Let's quit our job and do this!
I just want to do
what I am doing right now.
Come on.
Detective Kang,
you suck at sewing
and things like that, right?
I wonder if you know
all those terminologies about sewing.
You don't know, do you?
If you keep doing this,
I'll zip your mouth up!
My mouth...
Dr. Song passed away.
What?
-When?
-About two weeks ago.
What...
This is abrupt. What happened?
After having a few drinks,
he was mugged on the way home.
It was June 28th, ten days ago,
one in the morning.
He died in an empty lot.
With a blunt weapon
suspected to be a rock.
His skull was crushed.
We talked to the station there.
They said that it's a typical mugging.
There is no suspect?
It isn't easy to find the mugger.
Well...
I did some background check
on Kyu-ri Hwang, just in case.
What are you, man? It isn't your job
to stalk and check someone's background.
Just do what you're supposed to do.
Please listen first.
It's quite interesting.
In 2004 and 2006,
the husband wanted a divorce,
but they both let it go
during the process.
A divorce suit?
I thought they looked very happy together.
Maybe their relationship got better
after the worse times.
You never know about that.
Many couples look fine on the outside
but they actually aren't.
Detective Kang.
When was the date that Dr. Song died?
It's June 28th.
Wow. I feel so awful and blue.
It feels so odd.
You want to know how I feel?
I'm on a bidet.
But, all of a sudden,
the water was cut off! Can you imagine?
I went on a trip
for five nights and six days,
but goodness! I left my gas pipe on!
How bad would I feel?
So Detective Kang...
You have
Dr. Song's autopsy results, right?
Please bring them to my office.
What about the results?
Did you find something wrong?
Detective!
Believe in your religious leader.
Stop doing that! Seriously!
Are these Ho-kyun Lee's medical records?
Yes.
Take a look at this.
Bone loss, bone dissolve,
angioma and thoracic vertebrae fracture...
This is what we saw already.
But there is something odd about this.
Look at the opinion
and prescription on the last page.
"Metastatic bone tumor on hold.
General improvement
after two weeks of treatment
for lymphatic angioma.
Plan for Steroid, PTH, androgen,
and radiation treatment."
He withdrew his previous diagnosis.
So he didn't know
what exactly the disease was.
So...
Starting from two weeks ago, he's been
treated for lymphatic angioma
and it worked, making him better.
He figured out something
and decided to do something...
And on the night when he decided to do so,
he was killed by the mugger.
The cause of death was brain damage
by occipital injury.
There are no other abnormalities.
You said it was a mugger?
Yes.
In my opinion,
I don't think it's just a mugging.
Usually muggers aim for money.
They attack once, so the victims
will lose their consciousness.
But by looking at the scars on the body,
there are multiple wounds found
on his forehead and the back of the head.
This obviously shows
that there were intentions for murder.
Did the police
not look into this more carefully?
I guess they didn't.
They just concluded this
to be a normal mugging.
It may sound too obvious,
but it may not be accidental.
It might have been done out of a grudge.
After the fatal attack,
there were more attacks followed.
Anyways, the case of Dr. Song...
Something's not right.
Look, Detective Kang.
I told you it felt like
my bidet stopped working all of a sudden.
Dr. Han.
Picture scanning is done.
Oh, thank you.
What pictures?
Some pictures I took at Kyu-ri Hwang's,
but nothing much.
Wow, that looks quite pretty.
The flowers are very lively.
Let's go together later. Have some coffee.
I don't have time.
-Let's go!
-Detective Kang!
Yes?
I want to tag along as well.
I can
give you candy and some cookies,
you want to try some?
Why are you doing this to me?
Just tell us what you did
at this time and date written here.
How can I remember the whole day?
Also usually I'm at home during the night.
I can't go out
because of my husband and Luna.
But still, there must be...
This may be tough.
But we can help you only when you tell us
exactly what happened.
I don't remember anything else
other than the fact that I was home.
Please.
Please don't do this to me.
And...
please give my husband's body back to me.
Please allow us to keep our family.
Would you?
Why is she like that? Did I say something?
Something's not right...
Maybe it's a real coincidence.
There can be real coincidence
in your life, you know.
What the...
Hey, don't act so naive, man.
That's possible.
Her emotions while talking...
they seemed to be real.
Come on.
A real liar
can lie without blinking.
-Detective Kang.
-Yes, Dr. Min.
There's a place you have to go with me.
Now please tell us.
Why are we heading to her hometown.
I don't know.
I think I would know when I get there.
You are...
You are doubting Kyu-ri Hwang, right?
Curious rather than doubt.
But,
finding out her inner personality
with the information from the past...
Isn't it too vague and abstract?
Human minds are abstract.
It's the actions that are specified.
Bam! Bowwow!
What made you doubt her?
Why don't you two take a guess?
Wow, she really knows
how to piss people off!
I bet she has a certificate for that.
Show me that certificate
so that I can check it.
She's so provocative.
-While you're asleep
-While you're asleep
-your nails will be pulled out
-your nails will be pulled out
This is a perfect place to take films
about shamans and ghosts.
I bet real ghosts will appear then.
Where are the families?
Her mother threw herself
in a well 20 years ago.
There's no record of her father.
Kyu-ri Hwang's mother was a single parent.
Does this make sense?
-His family all died?
-Yes.
They all gathered in Jeongeup
for Thanksgiving seven years ago.
An overheated heater caused the fire.
They were all drunk and asleep.
So his sisters, brothers,
parents, and aunts all died.
The husband, wife, and Luna who was three
at the time survived.
This case...
Yes, sir.
I don't think
we can be sitting here, doing nothing.
It stinks. Spider webs!
It smells too much.
It smells like rotten eggs here.
There is no trace of Kyu-ri Hwang.
No clothes or pictures.
There's a great place
for steamed bread on the way back.
Let's go and have some steamed bread.
Wait.
All the things
Dr. Min was looking for were here.
We hit the jackpot.
What are these?
These look like flower petals,
medicinal plants...
They're so dry that it's hard to tell.
What the heck?
What are these?
She's crazy. Why would she collect these?
She wanted to own them after their death.
I think I saw them somewhere.
Right?
Yes.
They look just like
Kyu-ri Hwang's dolls in her house.
They're made out of different fabrics
but look the same.
This is the reason why I doubted her.
Family dolls.
From the picture you took, I could tell.
Her feelings for her family
seemed quite unique.
Outwardly, it was love.
But it was more of an obsession.
But...
is this such an easy assumption to make?
If your love gets bigger,
then your obsession also gets bigger.
That's possible
within a normal psychological structure.
But to her,
family means something totally different.
As you can see in these dolls,
she took the idea of family
as playing house.
She dressed her daughter like a doll.
Even the name Luna.
But if that's the case, how did she cry
her eyes out during the interview?
Those tears were sincere.
She wasn't crying
over her husband's death though.
Her fantasy of a perfect family
has been destroyed.
She cried out of frustration.
Her tears were used as a tool
to conceal her true intentions.
The grounds for that is...
Please give me my husband's body back.
Please allow us to keep our family.
Okay.
So to sum up your theory,
her husband was not a husband,
but an actor for playing house.
She wanted her actor back.
That's how her psychological state
reacted in this case.
Right?
I think I'm so smart!
How can I sum it up so well?
Brownie points for me, Dr. Min?
It was very close.
Why can't you just give me an A plus?
Don't be too strict with your grading.
Then the death of Dr. Song and her husband
are related to her psychological state?
Yes.
A solid connection must be made
through more investigations.
But what worries me more at this point is
that what we know now
might be the tip of an iceberg.
I don't know well about that family.
The daughter ran away
quite a long time ago
and never came back here.
And the lady
killed herself in the well.
Are others also not so familiar
with the family?
They never really interacted with us.
They just made a living by picking
herbs and other things like that.
Why are they singing that song all day?
The lyrics are even creepy.
Oh, that song.
I heard it from my mother-in-law.
About 30 years ago,
someone pulled drunk men's nails out
while they were sleeping.
All of them, with a knife.
What a story.
It's true!
But no one knows who did it.
It leaves the ghost as a suspect then.
So they made that song
to keep the ghosts away.
Then is there anyone
who's still alive from that incident?
Of course not.
See.
Such presumed true stories
never have any witnesses.
-You know this person, right?
-Yes, of course.
Dr. Song comes here quite often.
But the police did stop by
after the accident.
Today, we're here for something else.
On that day, did he have company?
Yes. He was with a lady.
Was it her?
I don't exactly remember her face.
That person had a big hat on.
I couldn't see her face.
Oh, right!
Now I remember.
They seemed like they were arguing.
How drunk were they?
They weren't.
I have never seen him drunk.
Gosh, they just screwed up
the investigation in the first place!
Are you okay?
Luna! Are you okay?
Sorry, sorry.
There's a high possibility
that she's a psychopath.
Well...
If we say that she killed her husband
and even the doctor,
that makes sense.
No.
Not all serial killers are psychopaths.
And a psychopath
does not necessarily make a serial killer.
It's something we should be careful about.
The standard of a psychopath is
the absence of a conscience and guilt.
Rather than murder, they're more prone
to steal or to con others.
But in the news, they say
the serial killers are psychopaths.
It's the journalists who are wrong.
They don't know shit.
But they say the killer is a psychopath
whenever there is a serial killing.
Normal human beings like us
can also be psychopaths.
For example,
a person who dumps a girlfriend
without any guilt,
or a person
write bad comments online
without any guilt like Seong-do!
You should self-reflect.
When did I write bad comments?
Oh, there are some.
But in the case of Kyu-ri Hwang,
with the purpose to protect her family,
isn't she more of a sociopath?
No.
Kyu-ri Hwang is a very complicated case.
What's the difference
between a psychopath and a sociopath?
Psychopath is caused
by frontal lobe abnormality.
So they lack of self-control
and ability to understand other people.
They're violent too.
On the contrary, a sociopath...
It's not about the brain,
but the personality itself.
They're in self-control.
They exploit other people's emotions.
Also they are 4% of the whole population
while psychopaths are just 1%.
There are more sociopaths
than psychopaths.
Then what's your reasoning
for considering her as a psychopath?
To be exact,
she might be a psychopath
with a sociopath's characteristics.
After the age of 15,
during the socialization process,
sociopaths tend to reveal their traits.
But in her case,
if she really did commit
the crime we assume,
there is a high chance of her
developing the psychopathic personality
in her childhood.
The things in her room
and the bones of her dead dog
support my assumption.
The characteristics she developed then
formed her own definition of family
and purpose.
A psychopath with her own purpose.
Her being a deviant makes it even worse.
Let me bring up a totally different topic.
If such person
becomes the head of a family
or the head of a country,
nothing can be scarier than that.
To achieve his or her own goal,
thousands of people's death
is not a big deal at all.
Ho-kyun Lee was
suffering from Gorham's disease.
Gorham's?
I only saw it in a book,
and not in real life.
I'm not familiar with this disease either.
There are only 200 cases in this world.
It’s rarest among the rarest.
In Korea, Ho-kyun Lee might be
the first or the second case.
Massive bone loss and acrosteolysis happen
and lymph tissues and angiomas
fill the space.
And when it invades scapular and rib cage,
it causes cardiac failure
and pleural effusion.
In some cases,
you can die of pulmonary dysfunction.
It wasn't the case for him.
Wow. Dr. Han,
how did you find out
about such a rare disease?
This?
You searched on the Internet?
This is such a difficult disease
to find the cause
and the Internet was full of information.
Dr. Han can also get things the easy way.
What do you mean easy?
It's a way of us medical experts
to exchange good information, you know.
You said that Dr. Song died
after starting different treatments.
How is it relevant?
Well... This is my assumption.
But someone didn't want his disease
to get better.
Someone wanted to keep things as they are,
not getting worse or better.
Then you mean Hwang wanted that?
According to Dr. Min, that's possible.
So that he wouldn't run away from her.
How can we determine
if it's a suicide or not?
Even if we found out the disease,
we still can't tell yet.
It's because we can't find out
about his breathing conditions then.
So...
I hope there was a magic ball
that would show us
the scene when the incident occurred.
Since we found out the disease,
let the body go.
Yes, Ma'am.
There are a lot of drugs in his body.
But all of them were proper amount
of prescribed drugs.
But there was an unexpected drug.
Glyceride, Peptide, etc.
They're the substances
with botanical fluid.
And also calcium oxalate was found too.
Let's try combining them. Dr. Han?
I don't know.
It's a compound found
in a plant called Dieffenbachia.
It is poisonous.
I saw that in Hwang's house!
This is it, right?
Then she had poison in her house?
Not necessarily.
It's also often used to clean the air.
What happens when you ingest it?
It's hard to speak
since your tongue and body gets paralyzed.
If you keep eating it
your tongue changes color and stiffens.
Dr. Cha,
please check their name and substances
of the other plants as well.
Okay, I'll get right on it.
Why did she feed him all that?
Maybe it was to stop him from talking.
Why didn't she want him to talk?
I don't know. Maybe they had a secret.
Something that can't ever be told.
Maybe he wanted to tell
about the psychological state of Hwang.
Of course.
If that comes out, it's easier to divorce,
unlike the old days.
But if he can't talk,
couldn't he have done it in writing?
No.
All the phalanges were damaged
except for the right index finger,
so it must have been hard for him
to write.
Then he could have left a message
through other methods.
What are you saying?
That...
Why would he eat that?
Then who gave him that?
I really don't know.
Why would I?
Maybe...
Luna, did you make your father
eat those flowers
when you were playing with dolls?
Please tell me.
I don't scold you.
How could you make him eat that?
If you ate this,
the tongue must have stiffened.
Did you not know something was wrong?
I thought it was the disease.
The doctor also said...
that it might be the side effects
of the drugs he was taking.
Does that make sense?
You should have gotten him examined...
Why are you doing this to me?
What did I do wrong? Huh?
The plants in other pictures were Genista.
What are those?
This is also grown often
for ornamental purposes.
If you eat the root,
your blood pressure drops
and your whole body's nerves
get paralyzed.
If you eat too much,
you die.
Why does she have all of these?
Anyways, thank you.
Yes, sir.
Damn it.
Goodness.
Luna.
The bad guys
are trying to torture our family.
Let's go somewhere...
where no one can find us.
That woman really drives me nuts.
Shit.
It's coming. Shit.
We have nothing concrete yet.
We have our feelings, but why no evidence?
Where did this jerk, Ik-beom go?
Why isn't the phone working?
You can't do this to me!
Ho-kyun Lee left a message
through his body.
The scar on his body...
is Morse code.
Morse code?
Yes, he was a former captain
of a deep-sea fishing boat.
He was well aware of how to read
Morse code.
I see.
Detective Kang is from the military.
She knows this stuff.
Wow! She's the best!
This is the message
that came from the scars.
Ho-kyun Lee who was almost trapped
in his own home
left a message on his body
and committed suicide to ask for help.
"Her" indicates his daughter.
He sacrificed his own life
to save his daughter's life.
Escaping from Kyu-ri Hwang
and asking for help for his daughter,
that was the purpose of his suicide.
Suicide...
Dr. Han!
What's wrong?
You won the lottery?
You promised to divide the money
with me if you win the lottery!
That's not it!
The thing you told me to look into.
-You got the results?
-That thing...
They're human nails.
I checked the DNA
and those three finger nails were
all from different people.
The finger nail ghost...
was Kyu-ri Hwang.
As expected.
It all started out when she was young.
We can't just let things be like this.
It's not my place to say,
but we should have her here first.
And we can reveal things one by one.
Something happened!
Something big!
What is it this time?
Ho-kyun Lee's body was stolen
on the way to the crematorium.
According to the surveillance camera,
Hwang took the body!
How is it possible?
How can she take the body with her?
She made the driver drink something
and took the car.
Where did she go?
It's empty.
The girl's not here as well.
I think she ran away.
What happened?
The hearse was found in the park
near the hospital.
-I think she changed her car.
-She has no car under her name.
Maybe it's someone else's car.
Then we can't even use the road cameras!
What's this woman thinking?
Why did she take the body with her?
To bury it in a place where only she knew?
As I told you, for her eternal ownership.
Like she had the bones of her dead dog.
Detective Park!
Yesterday a person died from sudden death
at one grocery store in Gui-doing.
The cause of death was
poisoning from a plant.
So I checked on it just in case.
And there was a record
of her credit card around the same time.
I knew this would happen.
We should've gone harder!
First we need to know where she went.
The answer can be quite easy.
Maybe she went to a place
where she completed her first house play.
The place where no one disturbed her.
What is this?
Kyu-ri Hwang!
She's dead.
What?
What about the kid?
She's still alive.
Genista!
She ate too much Genista root!
Too much of Genista root
can kill you by a paralysis.
Hurry up and call the ambulance!
Luna!
Let's throw this up.
Yes. That's nice. Let's do that once more.
Luna.
Everything is okay. You did well.
Good work, Dr. Han.
It was nothing.
Well...
Ever since I came into the office,
there is only once I didn't really solve
the case myself.
I think today is the second example.
What do you mean?
Just take it in. You know what
I am talking about. Why ask again?
-Dr. Han.
-Yes?
Let's go.
Okay.
Let's pay respect.
Get ready.
-Dr. Jang.
-Yes?
Are psychopaths really just born that way?
I think they're made
rather than being born that way.
The circumstantial influence
must also play a great role.
But not all people can live
in a good circumstances.
That is right.
That is...
the reason why we could never solve
the problem of psychopaths.
But there's something really ironic.
What the human society wants
is a psychopath.
Only those who know themselves
and ignore the pain of others
can really succeed.
If this continues, we might end up
having psychopath genes in our body.
And we might naturally just hand those on
to the next generation.
Goodness.
That's my wife.
I think she wants to talk.
Did you do something wrong to her?
What? Come on!
I'll leave you alone now.
Okay.
This is Kyu-tae Jang.
Objet 1 is experiencing
an unknown seizure.
I think you need to be here right now.
Luna.
Who's the person
that can protect our family?
The one
who can protect our family is Luna.
Right.
Anyone who crushes our family...
should be punished by you.
Okay?
Okay.
Luna.
What should we do about people
who harm our family?
Anyone who crushes our family
is a bad person.
They should be punished by you.
Anyone who crushes our family...
Anyone who crushes our family...
Anyone who crushes our family...
is a bad person.
The person who died yesterday
was Sung-mo Lee.
Dr. Han, take a look at this.
Shit.
From now on, don't touch anything!
We have to get out of here.
We have to throw away our clothes now.
What are you doing? Hurry!
They eat my shattered flesh and burp.
The world isn't full of grace,
but full of madness...
He ate a liver as a cure.
Stop it!
A human's liver.
That can't be.

Be a little more patient, Honey.
These clams look amazing.
So we went to the ocean in summer...
THE NFS FOUNDED MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICES
IN FIVE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS.
THE OFFICE IN HANKOOK UNIVERSITY IS
IN CHARGE OF SECOND AUTOPSIES
AND HAS INVESTIGATION AUTHORITY
OVER RARE DISEASES CASES.
EPISODE 5
America? With me?
Yes. That's what I heard.
No, we broke up in Korea
and I came here alone.
You guys haven't kept in touch
with each other?
No, that was the last time I saw her.
We never got in touch.
Did something happen to Young-eun?
Ho-kyun Lee, 41 years old.
He threw himself out of a window
two days ago.
When this happened,
his wife and daughter were at home.
What proves that this is suicide?
Neighbors said
that he was fighting against
his disease for a while
and his wife always took care of him.
They were assuming
that's why he chose to kill himself,
to let the burden off his wife's shoulder.
Did the wife give a testimony?
Yes, she made a similar testimony too.
Why did they send him to us?
There were suspicions
that he died before the fall.
Was there anything suspicious?
From the first autopsy, the cause of death
was multiple damages by the fall,
but they also found
some other complicated issues.
First, there is a possibility
of abnormal pleura.
What about his pleura?
His pleura was filled with fluid.
It means that it was pleural effusion.
Was there any evidence
of other infection or cardiac failure?
There was no infection,
but his enlarged heart clearly indicates
that he was suffering from
cardiac failure.
And there is an angioma
between his left femur and right tibia.
And there were also abnormalities
in his scapular and phalanges.
What is so complicated?
So what was his disease?
According to the medical record,
it's metastatic bone tumor caused
by the thoracic vertebrae number ten.
Bone tumor? There is a tumor in his bone?
Yes. Judging by its state,
it must have been hard for him
to even sit down.
Among all these,
pleural effusion is what's critical.
If the pleural effusion was caused
by cardiac failure, it must've been
hard for him to jump on his own.
Then there is a possibility of homicide?
Well, we should investigate
more thoroughly.
But only the wife
and his daughter were at home.
Then the suspect is his wife?
But the wife was taking care of him
for a long time!
Come on, no such wife can do that.
Come on. You never know.
Humans are...
To be more exact, women are...
Let's take a look at it quickly.
Sure, we should
take a look at it right now.
From the outer appearance,
multiple damage done by the fall is
the cause of death.
But judging from the color change
of his tongue,
there is a possibility of drug addiction.
Drug addiction?
Yeah, the color did change a lot.
And this looks like someone
pinched him and scratched him.
Looking at his skin,
he doesn't seem to have skin disease.
I don't think
it's directly related to his death.
Everyone.
The result is similar to the first result.
According to his tongue,
stomach, and his throat...
It certainly is drug addiction.
But it's not 100% clear
about the acute cardiac failure yet.
It could've happened
before the fall or even during the fall.
You mean that someone could've
thrown him out the window?
Yes, since he can't control himself.
Then the point here is whether
he committed suicide or was killed?
That's right. For now,
the cause of death is not clear.
We got the x-ray results here.
Wow, he has great bone loss.
Please explain it to me.
Yes.
If you look at the tip of the finger,
it looks like a triangle.
It melts like a sugar cube.
That's why it's a rare disease
with a lot of causes.
If this is a rare disease
related to bone loss, it gets harder.
Was there anything
that your husband said the day he died?
No.
He was the same.
He wanted to have some clam noodle soup.
So I was fixing some.
What was your daughter doing?
She was in her room.
She is ten, wasn't she supposed
to be at school by that time?
My Luna...
She's sick.
She has autism and mental weakness.
She's under a treatment.
I see.
You must be going through
a really hard time.
Your husband's hospital records indicate
that he had bone tumor.
When did it start?
It has been about seven years.
From last year,
it was hard for him to move.
If your husband was sick,
how did you make a living?
As you saw before,
I make dolls for sale.
It's a family doll set.
I couldn't work elsewhere
since I had to take care of my family.
I got orders online and sold them.
It was all under control.
I was doing really great.
Why did he have to go like that?
Why did he not even say a word to me...
She was an angel without her wings.
Speaking of her,
you can't find a person like her
in these days.
Hello.
How's your husband?
-He's getting better.
-You guys look great.
She even got an award
from the city hall last year.
Was it hard for her husband
to move at all?
Of course it was.
He was the captain of deep-sea fishing.
It must have been really hard for him.
What do you think
of the reason of his suicide?
Think about it.
The fact that he's a burden
must have broken his heart.
How can that cost 1,000,000 won?
It's really expensive!
If you just make three
to four sets a month,
you'll get to make a fortune.
Even though it's hard
to read people's minds,
I don't think she has any reason to
kill...
This limited edition costs 2,000,000 won!
It's limited edition!
She has built a corporation of her own!
Detective Kang, this isn't right.
Let's quit our job and do this!
I just want to do
what I am doing right now.
Come on.
Detective Kang,
you suck at sewing
and things like that, right?
I wonder if you know
all those terminologies about sewing.
You don't know, do you?
If you keep doing this,
I'll zip your mouth up!
My mouth...
Dr. Song passed away.
What?
-When?
-About two weeks ago.
What...
This is abrupt. What happened?
After having a few drinks,
he was mugged on the way home.
It was June 28th, ten days ago,
one in the morning.
He died in an empty lot.
With a blunt weapon
suspected to be a rock.
His skull was crushed.
We talked to the station there.
They said that it's a typical mugging.
There is no suspect?
It isn't easy to find the mugger.
Well...
I did some background check
on Kyu-ri Hwang, just in case.
What are you, man? It isn't your job
to stalk and check someone's background.
Just do what you're supposed to do.
Please listen first.
It's quite interesting.
In 2004 and 2006,
the husband wanted a divorce,
but they both let it go
during the process.
A divorce suit?
I thought they looked very happy together.
Maybe their relationship got better
after the worse times.
You never know about that.
Many couples look fine on the outside
but they actually aren't.
Detective Kang.
When was the date that Dr. Song died?
It's June 28th.
Wow. I feel so awful and blue.
It feels so odd.
You want to know how I feel?
I'm on a bidet.
But, all of a sudden,
the water was cut off! Can you imagine?
I went on a trip
for five nights and six days,
but goodness! I left my gas pipe on!
How bad would I feel?
So Detective Kang...
You have
Dr. Song's autopsy results, right?
Please bring them to my office.
What about the results?
Did you find something wrong?
Detective!
Believe in your religious leader.
Stop doing that! Seriously!
Are these Ho-kyun Lee's medical records?
Yes.
Take a look at this.
Bone loss, bone dissolve,
angioma and thoracic vertebrae fracture...
This is what we saw already.
But there is something odd about this.
Look at the opinion
and prescription on the last page.
"Metastatic bone tumor on hold.
General improvement
after two weeks of treatment
for lymphatic angioma.
Plan for Steroid, PTH, androgen,
and radiation treatment."
He withdrew his previous diagnosis.
So he didn't know
what exactly the disease was.
So...
Starting from two weeks ago, he's been
treated for lymphatic angioma
and it worked, making him better.
He figured out something
and decided to do something...
And on the night when he decided to do so,
he was killed by the mugger.
The cause of death was brain damage
by occipital injury.
There are no other abnormalities.
You said it was a mugger?
Yes.
In my opinion,
I don't think it's just a mugging.
Usually muggers aim for money.
They attack once, so the victims
will lose their consciousness.
But by looking at the scars on the body,
there are multiple wounds found
on his forehead and the back of the head.
This obviously shows
that there were intentions for murder.
Did the police
not look into this more carefully?
I guess they didn't.
They just concluded this
to be a normal mugging.
It may sound too obvious,
but it may not be accidental.
It might have been done out of a grudge.
After the fatal attack,
there were more attacks followed.
Anyways, the case of Dr. Song...
Something's not right.
Look, Detective Kang.
I told you it felt like
my bidet stopped working all of a sudden.
Dr. Han.
Picture scanning is done.
Oh, thank you.
What pictures?
Some pictures I took at Kyu-ri Hwang's,
but nothing much.
Wow, that looks quite pretty.
The flowers are very lively.
Let's go together later. Have some coffee.
I don't have time.
-Let's go!
-Detective Kang!
Yes?
I want to tag along as well.
I can
give you candy and some cookies,
you want to try some?
Why are you doing this to me?
Just tell us what you did
at this time and date written here.
How can I remember the whole day?
Also usually I'm at home during the night.
I can't go out
because of my husband and Luna.
But still, there must be...
This may be tough.
But we can help you only when you tell us
exactly what happened.
I don't remember anything else
other than the fact that I was home.
Please.
Please don't do this to me.
And...
please give my husband's body back to me.
Please allow us to keep our family.
Would you?
Why is she like that? Did I say something?
Something's not right...
Maybe it's a real coincidence.
There can be real coincidence
in your life, you know.
What the...
Hey, don't act so naive, man.
That's possible.
Her emotions while talking...
they seemed to be real.
Come on.
A real liar
can lie without blinking.
-Detective Kang.
-Yes, Dr. Min.
There's a place you have to go with me.
Now please tell us.
Why are we heading to her hometown.
I don't know.
I think I would know when I get there.
You are...
You are doubting Kyu-ri Hwang, right?
Curious rather than doubt.
But,
finding out her inner personality
with the information from the past...
Isn't it too vague and abstract?
Human minds are abstract.
It's the actions that are specified.
Bam! Bowwow!
What made you doubt her?
Why don't you two take a guess?
Wow, she really knows
how to piss people off!
I bet she has a certificate for that.
Show me that certificate
so that I can check it.
She's so provocative.
-While you're asleep
-While you're asleep
-your nails will be pulled out
-your nails will be pulled out
This is a perfect place to take films
about shamans and ghosts.
I bet real ghosts will appear then.
Where are the families?
Her mother threw herself
in a well 20 years ago.
There's no record of her father.
Kyu-ri Hwang's mother was a single parent.
Does this make sense?
-His family all died?
-Yes.
They all gathered in Jeongeup
for Thanksgiving seven years ago.
An overheated heater caused the fire.
They were all drunk and asleep.
So his sisters, brothers,
parents, and aunts all died.
The husband, wife, and Luna who was three
at the time survived.
This case...
Yes, sir.
I don't think
we can be sitting here, doing nothing.
It stinks. Spider webs!
It smells too much.
It smells like rotten eggs here.
There is no trace of Kyu-ri Hwang.
No clothes or pictures.
There's a great place
for steamed bread on the way back.
Let's go and have some steamed bread.
Wait.
All the things
Dr. Min was looking for were here.
We hit the jackpot.
What are these?
These look like flower petals,
medicinal plants...
They're so dry that it's hard to tell.
What the heck?
What are these?
She's crazy. Why would she collect these?
She wanted to own them after their death.
I think I saw them somewhere.
Right?
Yes.
They look just like
Kyu-ri Hwang's dolls in her house.
They're made out of different fabrics
but look the same.
This is the reason why I doubted her.
Family dolls.
From the picture you took, I could tell.
Her feelings for her family
seemed quite unique.
Outwardly, it was love.
But it was more of an obsession.
But...
is this such an easy assumption to make?
If your love gets bigger,
then your obsession also gets bigger.
That's possible
within a normal psychological structure.
But to her,
family means something totally different.
As you can see in these dolls,
she took the idea of family
as playing house.
She dressed her daughter like a doll.
Even the name Luna.
But if that's the case, how did she cry
her eyes out during the interview?
Those tears were sincere.
She wasn't crying
over her husband's death though.
Her fantasy of a perfect family
has been destroyed.
She cried out of frustration.
Her tears were used as a tool
to conceal her true intentions.
The grounds for that is...
Please give me my husband's body back.
Please allow us to keep our family.
Okay.
So to sum up your theory,
her husband was not a husband,
but an actor for playing house.
She wanted her actor back.
That's how her psychological state
reacted in this case.
Right?
I think I'm so smart!
How can I sum it up so well?
Brownie points for me, Dr. Min?
It was very close.
Why can't you just give me an A plus?
Don't be too strict with your grading.
Then the death of Dr. Song and her husband
are related to her psychological state?
Yes.
A solid connection must be made
through more investigations.
But what worries me more at this point is
that what we know now
might be the tip of an iceberg.
I don't know well about that family.
The daughter ran away
quite a long time ago
and never came back here.
And the lady
killed herself in the well.
Are others also not so familiar
with the family?
They never really interacted with us.
They just made a living by picking
herbs and other things like that.
Why are they singing that song all day?
The lyrics are even creepy.
Oh, that song.
I heard it from my mother-in-law.
About 30 years ago,
someone pulled drunk men's nails out
while they were sleeping.
All of them, with a knife.
What a story.
It's true!
But no one knows who did it.
It leaves the ghost as a suspect then.
So they made that song
to keep the ghosts away.
Then is there anyone
who's still alive from that incident?
Of course not.
See.
Such presumed true stories
never have any witnesses.
-You know this person, right?
-Yes, of course.
Dr. Song comes here quite often.
But the police did stop by
after the accident.
Today, we're here for something else.
On that day, did he have company?
Yes. He was with a lady.
Was it her?
I don't exactly remember her face.
That person had a big hat on.
I couldn't see her face.
Oh, right!
Now I remember.
They seemed like they were arguing.
How drunk were they?
They weren't.
I have never seen him drunk.
Gosh, they just screwed up
the investigation in the first place!
Are you okay?
Luna! Are you okay?
Sorry, sorry.
There's a high possibility
that she's a psychopath.
Well...
If we say that she killed her husband
and even the doctor,
that makes sense.
No.
Not all serial killers are psychopaths.
And a psychopath
does not necessarily make a serial killer.
It's something we should be careful about.
The standard of a psychopath is
the absence of a conscience and guilt.
Rather than murder, they're more prone
to steal or to con others.
But in the news, they say
the serial killers are psychopaths.
It's the journalists who are wrong.
They don't know shit.
But they say the killer is a psychopath
whenever there is a serial killing.
Normal human beings like us
can also be psychopaths.
For example,
a person who dumps a girlfriend
without any guilt,
or a person
write bad comments online
without any guilt like Seong-do!
You should self-reflect.
When did I write bad comments?
Oh, there are some.
But in the case of Kyu-ri Hwang,
with the purpose to protect her family,
isn't she more of a sociopath?
No.
Kyu-ri Hwang is a very complicated case.
What's the difference
between a psychopath and a sociopath?
Psychopath is caused
by frontal lobe abnormality.
So they lack of self-control
and ability to understand other people.
They're violent too.
On the contrary, a sociopath...
It's not about the brain,
but the personality itself.
They're in self-control.
They exploit other people's emotions.
Also they are 4% of the whole population
while psychopaths are just 1%.
There are more sociopaths
than psychopaths.
Then what's your reasoning
for considering her as a psychopath?
To be exact,
she might be a psychopath
with a sociopath's characteristics.
After the age of 15,
during the socialization process,
sociopaths tend to reveal their traits.
But in her case,
if she really did commit
the crime we assume,
there is a high chance of her
developing the psychopathic personality
in her childhood.
The things in her room
and the bones of her dead dog
support my assumption.
The characteristics she developed then
formed her own definition of family
and purpose.
A psychopath with her own purpose.
Her being a deviant makes it even worse.
Let me bring up a totally different topic.
If such person
becomes the head of a family
or the head of a country,
nothing can be scarier than that.
To achieve his or her own goal,
thousands of people's death
is not a big deal at all.
Ho-kyun Lee was
suffering from Gorham's disease.
Gorham's?
I only saw it in a book,
and not in real life.
I'm not familiar with this disease either.
There are only 200 cases in this world.
It’s rarest among the rarest.
In Korea, Ho-kyun Lee might be
the first or the second case.
Massive bone loss and acrosteolysis happen
and lymph tissues and angiomas
fill the space.
And when it invades scapular and rib cage,
it causes cardiac failure
and pleural effusion.
In some cases,
you can die of pulmonary dysfunction.
It wasn't the case for him.
Wow. Dr. Han,
how did you find out
about such a rare disease?
This?
You searched on the Internet?
This is such a difficult disease
to find the cause
and the Internet was full of information.
Dr. Han can also get things the easy way.
What do you mean easy?
It's a way of us medical experts
to exchange good information, you know.
You said that Dr. Song died
after starting different treatments.
How is it relevant?
Well... This is my assumption.
But someone didn't want his disease
to get better.
Someone wanted to keep things as they are,
not getting worse or better.
Then you mean Hwang wanted that?
According to Dr. Min, that's possible.
So that he wouldn't run away from her.
How can we determine
if it's a suicide or not?
Even if we found out the disease,
we still can't tell yet.
It's because we can't find out
about his breathing conditions then.
So...
I hope there was a magic ball
that would show us
the scene when the incident occurred.
Since we found out the disease,
let the body go.
Yes, Ma'am.
There are a lot of drugs in his body.
But all of them were proper amount
of prescribed drugs.
But there was an unexpected drug.
Glyceride, Peptide, etc.
They're the substances
with botanical fluid.
And also calcium oxalate was found too.
Let's try combining them. Dr. Han?
I don't know.
It's a compound found
in a plant called Dieffenbachia.
It is poisonous.
I saw that in Hwang's house!
This is it, right?
Then she had poison in her house?
Not necessarily.
It's also often used to clean the air.
What happens when you ingest it?
It's hard to speak
since your tongue and body gets paralyzed.
If you keep eating it
your tongue changes color and stiffens.
Dr. Cha,
please check their name and substances
of the other plants as well.
Okay, I'll get right on it.
Why did she feed him all that?
Maybe it was to stop him from talking.
Why didn't she want him to talk?
I don't know. Maybe they had a secret.
Something that can't ever be told.
Maybe he wanted to tell
about the psychological state of Hwang.
Of course.
If that comes out, it's easier to divorce,
unlike the old days.
But if he can't talk,
couldn't he have done it in writing?
No.
All the phalanges were damaged
except for the right index finger,
so it must have been hard for him
to write.
Then he could have left a message
through other methods.
What are you saying?
That...
Why would he eat that?
Then who gave him that?
I really don't know.
Why would I?
Maybe...
Luna, did you make your father
eat those flowers
when you were playing with dolls?
Please tell me.
I don't scold you.
How could you make him eat that?
If you ate this,
the tongue must have stiffened.
Did you not know something was wrong?
I thought it was the disease.
The doctor also said...
that it might be the side effects
of the drugs he was taking.
Does that make sense?
You should have gotten him examined...
Why are you doing this to me?
What did I do wrong? Huh?
The plants in other pictures were Genista.
What are those?
This is also grown often
for ornamental purposes.
If you eat the root,
your blood pressure drops
and your whole body's nerves
get paralyzed.
If you eat too much,
you die.
Why does she have all of these?
Anyways, thank you.
Yes, sir.
Damn it.
Goodness.
Luna.
The bad guys
are trying to torture our family.
Let's go somewhere...
where no one can find us.
That woman really drives me nuts.
Shit.
It's coming. Shit.
We have nothing concrete yet.
We have our feelings, but why no evidence?
Where did this jerk, Ik-beom go?
Why isn't the phone working?
You can't do this to me!
Ho-kyun Lee left a message
through his body.
The scar on his body...
is Morse code.
Morse code?
Yes, he was a former captain
of a deep-sea fishing boat.
He was well aware of how to read
Morse code.
I see.
Detective Kang is from the military.
She knows this stuff.
Wow! She's the best!
This is the message
that came from the scars.
Ho-kyun Lee who was almost trapped
in his own home
left a message on his body
and committed suicide to ask for help.
"Her" indicates his daughter.
He sacrificed his own life
to save his daughter's life.
Escaping from Kyu-ri Hwang
and asking for help for his daughter,
that was the purpose of his suicide.
Suicide...
Dr. Han!
What's wrong?
You won the lottery?
You promised to divide the money
with me if you win the lottery!
That's not it!
The thing you told me to look into.
-You got the results?
-That thing...
They're human nails.
I checked the DNA
and those three finger nails were
all from different people.
The finger nail ghost...
was Kyu-ri Hwang.
As expected.
It all started out when she was young.
We can't just let things be like this.
It's not my place to say,
but we should have her here first.
And we can reveal things one by one.
Something happened!
Something big!
What is it this time?
Ho-kyun Lee's body was stolen
on the way to the crematorium.
According to the surveillance camera,
Hwang took the body!
How is it possible?
How can she take the body with her?
She made the driver drink something
and took the car.
Where did she go?
It's empty.
The girl's not here as well.
I think she ran away.
What happened?
The hearse was found in the park
near the hospital.
-I think she changed her car.
-She has no car under her name.
Maybe it's someone else's car.
Then we can't even use the road cameras!
What's this woman thinking?
Why did she take the body with her?
To bury it in a place where only she knew?
As I told you, for her eternal ownership.
Like she had the bones of her dead dog.
Detective Park!
Yesterday a person died from sudden death
at one grocery store in Gui-doing.
The cause of death was
poisoning from a plant.
So I checked on it just in case.
And there was a record
of her credit card around the same time.
I knew this would happen.
We should've gone harder!
First we need to know where she went.
The answer can be quite easy.
Maybe she went to a place
where she completed her first house play.
The place where no one disturbed her.
What is this?
Kyu-ri Hwang!
She's dead.
What?
What about the kid?
She's still alive.
Genista!
She ate too much Genista root!
Too much of Genista root
can kill you by a paralysis.
Hurry up and call the ambulance!
Luna!
Let's throw this up.
Yes. That's nice. Let's do that once more.
Luna.
Everything is okay. You did well.
Good work, Dr. Han.
It was nothing.
Well...
Ever since I came into the office,
there is only once I didn't really solve
the case myself.
I think today is the second example.
What do you mean?
Just take it in. You know what
I am talking about. Why ask again?
-Dr. Han.
-Yes?
Let's go.
Okay.
Let's pay respect.
Get ready.
-Dr. Jang.
-Yes?
Are psychopaths really just born that way?
I think they're made
rather than being born that way.
The circumstantial influence
must also play a great role.
But not all people can live
in a good circumstances.
That is right.
That is...
the reason why we could never solve
the problem of psychopaths.
But there's something really ironic.
What the human society wants
is a psychopath.
Only those who know themselves
and ignore the pain of others
can really succeed.
If this continues, we might end up
having psychopath genes in our body.
