Jin-woo and Detective Ban Tae-shik find themselves teaming up solve the mysterious death of a woman with a rare bone disease who has been mummified.
MOOSOO-RI CERAMICS VILLAGE
Boss!
-Boss!
-What's wrong?
There's something weird in the kitchen.
Really?
-What is that?
-That's...
Isn't that an alien?
Alien or Human? What Is the Truth?
Alien Enthusiasts Flock to the
Place of Discovery. It's Chaos!
First Unknown Life Discovered
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
ALIENS EXIST!
FIND THE UFO!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
Academia and NASA staff from the U.S.
are carrying out a joint investigation
here at the site where
an unidentified life form was discovered.
A crowd of alien enthusiasts is demanding
close observation.
The National Forensic Service
has yet to confirm
the identity of the discovered life form,
and there are many speculations
going around
as well as conspiracy theories.

RARE DISEASE CASES
EPISODE 1
-Is it here?
-It will arrive in ten minutes.
Reporters haven't noticed, right?
No, Chief. It's still quiet.
My heart is pounding.
What if it's really
an unidentified life form?
What should we do?
Get a grip, will you?
-What's this?
-Well,
he's one of the enthusiasts over there,
but he sneaked in wearing this uniform
and stayed with the researchers.
He even took pictures.
Where did you get this?
You mean this?
It's from a group purchase online.
It's just 15,900 won. Pretty neat, right?
Soon enough, there'll be CIA,
KGB, and what not. Take him away.
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
Is anybody there?
Is anyone there?
Of course, someone is here.
Does this look like a doghouse?
Who are you?
Me? I'm a detective.
Who are you? What do you do?
What kind of question is that?
Of course, I'm a doctor.
Can't you even tell?
Doctor?
What kind of a doctor?
Me?
I'm a neurosurgeon specialist
and a great scholar, Dr. Jin-woo Han,
-one of the investigators.
-What crap.
Why would an investigator
be sleeping here?
I'm telling you the truth.
Here, take a look.
Great. They sell everything.
Is this also a group purchase online?
Come on!
Do I look like an imposter to you?
Yes! Do you consider this a playground?
Don't you have anything better to do?
Come on!
Why are you talking to me like that,
you grumpy old man?
You spoiled little kid! How dare you!
How should I address you, then?
You look like a fucking alcoholic.
A fucking alcoholic?
Are you seriously asking for it?
That's it. Come with me.
Let go of me!
I'll prove it to you. Wait for a second.
Let me just turn this on.
Just stay put. Stay exactly where you are.
Right.
What in the world?
All right.
I'll give you three minutes.
Take down your tent and stay here!
There's an alien!
My goodness. He surely lost his mind.
Detective Bae?
Is that you, Detective Bae?
Dr. Jo, I didn't know
you were working here.
Yes, I am. I'm in charge of this facility.
Goodness. How have you been?
The last time I saw, you were in Ansan.
I'm currently stationed here in Gwangju.
You're still the same.
What brought you here?
I heard that an alien
was to be delivered here.
That's right. Is it in your jurisdiction?
You can say that.
I wanted more information.
You were always keen.
-Please come in.
-Okay.
Where's the body?
Is it in the autopsy room?
You!
-What is he doing here?
-Why are you...
I'm glad I ran into you!
I made an exhibition of myself
because of you! You're dead!
Goodness! Let go of me!
You started it!
You punk...
-Come on!
-Stop!
It seems like two of you have already met.
Detective Bae.
Dr. Han is a part-time
neurosurgeon specialist at my office.
What did I tell you?
What kind of a detective
can't even tell a person apart?
What kind of a doctor behaves like this?
He looks like a petty juvenile criminal.
A petty juvenile...
You're a fucking
alcoholic-looking shitty cop!
Stop it!
My goodness!
-It looks better in person.
-That's what I'm saying.
Just by the looks of it,
it's definitely an alien.
Amazing, look at its head.
This is too good.
Smile, one, two.
Great shot.
-Do you have the primary analysis result?
-Yes.
The result is...
This is not an alien but a human.
-The body is not decomposed, but dried.
-I knew it.
This so-called alien is nonsense.
Excuse me, the doctor is not
done speaking. How dare you cut in?
I'm sorry. My apologies.
Anyhow, what's more shocking is that
it's not just a dried body,
but a mummy.
-A mummy?
-That's right.
From the skin condition
and its preserved state,
we can presume it's a mummy.
How did you figure that out?
When I saw the state of the body
on the articles,
the skull was severely deformed
as you can see,
and the skin condition looked
more like it's dried
instead of decomposed.
I got curious as to how that's possible,
so I went to the site
to check out the environment.
My goodness, this amazing insight
and intellectual curiosity!
Chief, is this even possible?
We're not even in Egypt,
so how can this be a mummy?
Excuse me, don't you know
mummies exist not only in Egypt,
but in other countries as well?
Didn't you pay attention
during your history class?
I took a mechanics class
instead of history class.
Please!
Put your past behind,
and take a look at this body first.
Based on our records, it's 141.6 cm
and the gender is female.
It was probably around 160 cm tall
before death.
It would have shrunk 10 to 20 centimeters
as it was dried.
That's right.
Based on the primary autopsy result,
the skull was fractured by impact.
The arms, legs and ribs are all fractured,
and have plenty of lacerations.
Also, on the hands and arms,
many tiny scratches are found,
which resemble human nail scratches.
Especially with the shape of the skull,
the fractured skull bones
got to open and rise
due to desiccation and gas,
shaping it like a crown.
By the looks of it, it doesn't seem
fractured by a blunt weapon.
That's right.
We can tell from its shape,
that it's a collision caused
by a car accident or a fall.
There's a high chance that one of those
is the actual cause of death.
You're very sharp-sighted.
I've been a detective
since you were a baby.
Excuse me,
but I wasn't just an ordinary baby.
You see, I was probably just as smart as
you now when I was still a baby.
Dr. Han, it's about time
you shut your mouth.
Also, Detective Bae,
please put aside your personal feelings,
and show some respect
for the doctor, will you?
Will you be all right without me?
Stop worrying, will you?
I'm not a baby anymore.
I'm sorry to leave you like this.
I'll be back as soon as
I'm done with training.
Go study hard.
So that you can one day be
at my level of intelligence.
Goodness.
Call me if anything comes up.
No hiding this time.
Promise?
There are no side effects,
but other problems may arise.
What kind of problems?
There won't be any physical pain,
but difficulty
in controlling emotions could continue
and a slight schizophernia might occur.
Controlling emotions
should be your priority.
Carbon dating analysis is ready.
Between 10 to 15 years.
I guess it hasn't been too long.
That was a fast analysis.
Radiocarbon reaction was much faster
than expected,
and it was the same for the protein tests.
All the examiners were shocked.
Between 10 to 15 years...
It wouldn't have been up to 15 years.
The house was occupied until 1999.
An old couple lived there
until they passed away,
and due to unclear house registration,
the place remained vacant.
If the body was placed thereafter,
then it would be 13 years at most.
Also, if it is indeed
the work of a criminal,
the statute of limitations is still open.
What brings you here again?
I almost forgot.
This is a warrant signed
by the prosecutor in charge,
and a permission from headquarters.
I am temporarily in charge of
investigating this specific case.
Is that right?
That's great for us,
police jurisdiction and all.
Yes, but why does it have to be
Detective Bae for this case?
We don't let just anyone
join us like this.
Just anyone?
Wouldn't you be the one who is
"just anyone," great scholar Dr. Han?
Here we go again.
A small amount of substance was found
on the scratches
of the mummy's hands and arms.
It turns out it's ilipenoid.
Illipenoid? What's that?
I've never heard of it.
It only exists as a chemical formula
and its usage is unknown.
That's odd.
Why would an unknown chemical compound
be on the mummy?
Maybe an alien scratched her.
Well, there's nothing helpful to me.
Please continue with your research.
Why don't I really start
with my investigation?
Wait a second.
What is it?
Let me come with you too.
Our office is in charge of this case,
so we lay out the rules.
Why would a part-time doctor
roam around the scene?
Do you really have nothing better to do?
Then do you have so much time
that you butt your nose
into every little thing
and get in people's way?
Because I'm a detective!
A dead body was found in a deserted house.
Somebody is getting away
with a perfect crime here.
It wasn't an alien after all,
and it turns out to be a mummy.
Seeing what the killer did to the body,
he must be a total psycho.
Who knows if there are more victims?
My usual domain or not,
I have to catch the creep!
Okay, I get it, but still,
why does it have
to be you who is doing it?
Because once I start an investigation,
I stick to it until the end.
That's who I am! Tae-shik Bae!
So stop acting up
and wait inside like a good child.
I refuse to do so.
Where do you think you're going?
Did you not hear me?
You're acting so cheap!
Do you think this wreck
is the only available transportation?
If I catch you roaming around the site,
I'll whoop your ass crazy
so that you can't even take a crap.
What's that?
Taking a crap?
I thought that was your expertise,
like this?
You punk...
What the hell?
Who's there?
Thank you for the toilet paper
you gave me last time, you punk.
Didn't I tell you that I would kick
your bottom if I saw you here?
I'm here for forensic research.
It's undoubtedly my domain.
It's unbelievable
what CSI can do to people.
Do you think a suspect
will just pop up if you dig?
What if one does?
How dare you keep talking back to me!
You kid.
Why are you following a kid around?
Why would I be following you around?
I was here a while ago
and I checked around town.
Okay, whatever, please do not disturb me
while I'm investigating.
Hurry up and leave.
The process of mummification
is right next to a furnace...
You call it a furnace
when it's used as a furnace.
How would you know
if this was used as a furnace or not?
What, do you see traces of the past now?
Is that it?
If you use the furnace,
the entire town would have seen the smoke
and smelled the firewood.
Would a criminal want
to attract such attention?
Take a look around outside.
You'll see the smoke from anywhere
within the three-kilometre radius.
You're dying to know
why he would dump a body here
of all places, right?
Slide it, just slightly.
What's this got to do with it?
You wouldn't know, would you?
That's just to hide something temporarily.
If you were trying to hide it,
you wouldn't put the body there.
You would rather bury it somewhere else.
Then, this was only a temporary hideout
in order to take it out again?
I guess that makes sense.
I thought you knew all kinds of things.
Is that all you can come up with?
I have to explain everything to you
in baby steps.
All right, whatever.
Yes?
As you can see, a gene mutation was found
in the mummy.
The gene mutation, KIF22.
Can you open the file
with the x-rays of the mummy?
Partial undergrowth, joint deterioration,
irregular joint dislocation
as well as KIF22 gene mutation.
This is crucial evidence right here.
This mummy had...
Wait for it...
Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia
with joint laxity, leptodactylic type.
Is that the name of the disease?
Yes. A piece of cake, right?
I know spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia,
but is that a hybrid of the sort?
Yes.
This isn't derived
from the nervous system or the brain,
but a genetic bone disease.
There's probably less than
five recorded patients in the country.
Hold on a second, Detective Bae.
What?
Shouldn't you be asking
what kind of disease this is?
Why should I know? I'm not a doctor.
Amazing, you're truly one of a kind.
Detective Bae,
if you memorize the name of this disease,
I'll give you 100,000 won cash.
No tax for it, in cash.
You punk...
Anyhow,
what it is that it is caused
by a hereditary gene that deteriorates
each end of vertabrae
and causes
irregularity in the balance of structure,
thus stunting growth.
The mummy is affected
to the point of involving mutation
on on the distal neck of the ilium.
With such severity, I would say
she couldn't have walked at all.
That's right. Even balancing
herself would have been hard,
so most likely, she was on a wheelchair.
I guess we should start identifying her.
With such a rare disease,
it narrows down a bunch.
Name, Seo-eun Jung.
In 2002, April 23rd at around 8:00 p.m.,
she committed suicide by jumping into
a truck while she was in the wheelchair
on the highway near Hou-ri, Yangpyeong.
Age at the time of death, 23.
A suicide?
SEONG-JI POLICE STATION
Can you make it quick?
We'll be here all day!
You and your temper. Calm down!
Here it is. Seo-eun Jung.
-A suicide, jumping in front of a truck.
-Why did she do that?
It just says because of her disease.
-It happened on Hou-ri Highway.
-Was there an autopsy?
My goodness. Where did you come from?
Nevermind.
I'm a doctor at Hankook University
Medical Examiner Office, Jin-woo Han.
-You don't listen...
-Was there an autopsy?
There was none
since it was ruled as a suicide.
Did her family or relatives
say anything about it?
No. She was an orphan.
-Then what about her funeral?
-A temporary guardian held it.
I remember. It was her fiancé.
Fiancé?
Kyu-seok Choi.
Yes, I remember him now.
Please, can I plea for an autopsy, sir?
Because it is clearly a suicide,
they won't allow it.
Seo-eun had no reason to commit suicide!
We were planning on getting married.
Look at our ring!
I'm sorry to say this,
but you never know what's going on...
inside one's mind.
But she absolutely had no reason to!
-Please, let her body get an autopsy!
- He insisted on taking her body,
and so he did. We are not allowed
to do that, but I felt so bad
that I made an exception for him.
Even after the funeral,
he came back for weeks
asking for a reinvestigation.
That's when it all happened.
Detective.
Can you give me his information?
What happened to him?
Didn't you already know?
No, we had no idea.
My Kyu-seok...
around 12 years ago...
Who are you people?
Mom, who are they?
They are detectives.
She is Kyu-seok's older sister.
We have a couple of questions.
Mom, go inside.
Charge of disposing a body?
Then why don't you just arrest him?
Arresting him doesn't matter.
The truth is what matters.
We would like to know the reasons
behind the mummifying
of his fiancée's dead body.
How should we know?
That crazy fool. Has he gone mad or what?
Then, can you tell us
how Kyu-seok ended up like that?
I already did 12 years ago,
over and over again.
Do your own research.
Also, don't ever come back.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
Sir.
-Did you go through his file?
-Yes, sir.
Who's that?
One of the nation's top stuck-ups.
He's a doctor from Hankook University
Medical Examiner Office.
What a lovely introduction.
Hi, I'm Jin-woo Han.
I'm Detective Ran Lee.
Ran Lee? Lee Ran. Like, the country? Iran?
Yes, that's funny.
Yes, it is. Iran, great.
Pathetic. Start reading!
Yes.
"He was the victim's fiancé,
and 12 years ago, he attempted suicide
45 days after the victim's death
by jumping off of a building."
It's recorded that his reasons
for attempting suicide was
due to his despair
for losing his fiancée like that.
How unfortunate.
So much for Romeo and Juliet.
That crazy fool.
Why would do something like that?
What do you mean by that crazy fool?
He couldn't accept reality,
therefore he could not
let go of her, you know?
He was all sad and depressed.
In ancient times,
there were plenty of records that involve
mummifying of their loved ones
because they loved them so much.
Yes, that was in ancient times.
Crazy people would do that now.
Love is timeless.
What do you know about love, Detective?
Of course, I know.
Sa-rang Kim, the actress.
What on earth? Great.
I can't even talk with you.
I thought there was something more to it
with this case.
So that's it? That's all there is?
-How much?
-It's 12,000 won, sir.
-Thank you for the meal.
-Hey, the bill...
Really!
-How much is it again?
-It's 12,000 won.
Here is 12,000 won.
Can I have the receipt, please?
Can I have two more extra?
How embarrassing. Seriously.
Hello.
What?
What do you mean microcystis
was detected in the stomach?
At first, we just thought
it was only decomposed food.
After complete examination,
it turned out it's not.
Micro...
-What's that?
-It's plankton.
Plankton?
Wouldn't that be found in a drowned body?
That's correct.
We're not sure but with the amount found,
there's a high chance that she drowned.
A drowned body gets up
and jumps into a truck?
That's it!
The real reason for mummifying her body.
Kyu-seok wanted to leave evidence...
that her death wasn't a suicide.
That's why he didn't follow
the traditional mummifying procedures,
so that he could leave the organs intact.
This is such an open field,
how can anybody commit murder here?
You see, a long time ago,
this place was just a reservoir
with a bunch of rocks around.
A cemetery is behind this hill,
so nobody comes to fish here.
How would I know
if anyone came to fish here or not?
But if someone drowned her here,
it doesn't make sense
to throw her down there
and drag her back up.
Could she have been forced under water?
Wrong! You're way off.
When someone pushes a person's head
under water like that,
the person's resistance will
make him use more force,
and create a purple spot behind the neck.
And traces remain
around the neck, shoulder, or head.
But traces were only found
on the arms, hands, and fingers.
Then how would she have drowned?
That's shallow water.
You should really pay attention
to the forensic results. It's her illness!
Even if it's shallow water,
it was fatal for her
as she could barely use her lower body.
I guess so.
Acknowledging your ignorance
and taking a learner's attitude
isn't something that is humiliating,
Detective Bae.
You got lucky, you show-off.
-What's up, Ran Lee?
-Sir.
I forgot to mention one thing.
At the time of the crime,
Kyu-seok lived
at a ceramics workshop nearby.
Ceramics workshop?
He was a bright young man,
even got his masters in archaeology.
He came across a lecture of mine
and got into ceramics.
You must've known Seo-eun as well?
Sure I did. She lived across town.
She came here often.
Were there any issues
between Kyu-seok and Seo-eun?
Not at all. They were a lovely couple.
As you know, Kyu-seok's family was
against their relationship.
They went through a lot because of that.
It was a bit out of control.
They were really harsh on her.
What do you mean by harsh?
What are you doing?
Shut up. Is this a joke?
You said you were leaving him!
-I'm sorry.
-Forget it!
Did you think I would fall for it too
after you deceived my mom? Bitch!
Make a decision.
Live with her or watch your mom die.
Kyu-hee.
It was quite ugly that day.
After that, there were two more
similar occurrences.
Do you recall the day of the incident
by any chance?
There wasn't anything in particular.
Kyu-seok and I were working on ceramics
the whole day.
Yes, that's right.
It was a chaotic day
with the city redevelopment
construction going on.
There were helicopters for aerial shots
with government officials
all over town as well.
I see.
Do you have anything that belonged
to Kyu-seok? A memo? Anything?
What's that?
A mummified weasel and a squirrel.
He experimented on animals
before doing it on a human.
Mummification books are there.
He had archaeological background
and the experiments.
What a waste of time and energy.
The man should've put all this effort
into being a good son.
This belonged to Seo-eun at that time,
with her name written and all.
Why would he have kept this? That freak.
If his intention was
to leave behind evidence,
this could be one as well.
Wait.
She lived across town.
How did she get around? By the wheelchair?
If not by car,
could she get around on her own?
She had Kyu-seok as her fiancé.
Did you not hear earlier?
He said Kyu-seok was
at the workshop all day long.
The place of her accident
and her home is quite the distance.
Okay, then somebody
gave her a ride that day.
-Thank you, please come again.
-Thank you.
I'm sorry to bother you at work.
So you're the one who would give rides
to Seo-eun?
Yes.
We grew up together like sisters.
Weren't you with her on the day
of the incident?
She said she was going to stay home,
so I stayed at my place.
Did she mention anything else?
Like meeting somebody?
No, she didn't.
If she was planning to,
I would be the first one to know.
When you weren't available,
how did she get around?
She would call a taxi or get rides
from the social welfare center.
This is another topic,
but was she struggling to the point
of committing suicide?
No.
Kyu-seok's family's opposition
to their relationship was severe,
but she wouldn't have done
something like that.
Their love was strong.
They were absolutely in love...
to the point of making others envious.
Kyu-seok was a fine man...
who would be any woman's ideal type
of a man.
The day before Seo-eun died,
Kyu-seok proposed to her.
She was so happy.
I was so happy for them that I even cried.
Then all that happened the next day,
and later, to Kyu-seok.
Seo-eun, Kyu-hee
Mummy, deserted house, suicide
Mi-kyung
Kyu-seok
Seo-eun
Kyu-hee
Mi-kyung
Kyu-seok.
What is it and how much of it do you know?
Yes, I hit her. So what?
That isn't the right response.
You resorted to violence!
She deserved it.
Excuse me, Kyu-hee.
I'm not accusing you
of only slapping her a couple times here.
I'm curious to know what happened
after the slapping, understand?
Are you saying I killed Seo-eun?
What is this that I'm hearing?
Detective.
What is going on here?
It's not like that, Mom.
Do you have any proof?
It's the lack of proof
that's keeping you out of jail.
But if anything comes up,
you won't be experiencing
any courtesy like today.
Then why don't you question
Mi-kyung as well?
I'm not the only one
who committed violence on her.
Don't confuse pity and love.
Kyu-seok may be acting
like he loves you now due to sympathy,
but that won't last long.
Mi-kyung.
So just give Kyu-seok up.
You know you don't deserve him.
How can you do this to me?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
What?
It was jealousy.
A smart and handsome man falls
for a disabled, of all people.
Right?
People tend to be drawn to fine object...
or people, right?
You want to score
but there's a goalkeeper.
So why not get rid of the goalkeeper.
Right?
Is that why you drowned her
and made it look like an accident?
Of course not.
How can you say such a thing?
One of the worst things
you can do is abusing the disabled.
People like you
have no compassion whatsoever.
Who knows what else
they'll do if they're ticked off?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why are you doing this to me?
You were with her
on the day of the incident, right?
No! I was at my place.
I already told you that.
It was pouring that day.
Didn't you even worry about her?
That's why I called her,
but she didn't answer.
Did you say that's why you called her?
It wasn't raining at your place.
It only rained within
the five-kilometer radius of Hou-ri.
Your place in Yangsu-ri was dry.
Your lies aren't going anywhere.
You killed her, right?
I did give her a ride,
but I left right after she asked me
to give her a moment.
She said she was meeting
someone important.
Who would that be?
She didn't say who.
You do realize that everything
you said doesn't add up.
I can give you a day.
Turning yourself in is difficult indeed.
No. I did not kill Seo-eun.
Do you have any proof that I did?
So 12 years ago means no phone call
records, CCTV footage, nothing!
They're screaming for proof.
If something just turns up...
So do you think Mi-kyung did it?
She was at the scene
but the chances are 50:50.
Well, that's 50% that she didn't.
I'm the one hanging at the end
of the rope after interrogation.
A killer that hasn't been
caught for as long as
ten years or so,
have made up the perfect scenario.
They've thought
of every loophole possible out there.
Great.
You sound like a real cop
when you say something like that.
Show some respect for the elderly.
I think you need to go
to an attitude management camp.
Waitress, can I get another side dish?
Oh gosh!
Why are you scratching
your feet while eating?
I'm scratching with my left hand
and eating with my right!
Don't just wear socks for athlete's foot.
Go see a doctor,
take pills, put on some ointment...
Are you about to puke?
I need to go.
You punk! Pay for the food before you go!
I didn't bring my wallet...
Is that his new strategy?
Illipenoid? What's that?
I've never heard of it.
It only exists as a chemical formula
and its usage is unknown.
As requested,
I looked up the aircraft records that day.
One aircraft was identified
from 2 p.m. until sundown, sir.
Not with the air force?
Pardon?
Right. It was an aircraft for the city
of Incheon and was doing an aerial shot.
And in the first half of the year...
Goodness, just get to the point,
you're speaking gibberish.
Hey!
-You've looked up the files too, right?
-Yes.
Can you read it? It's so complicated.
Yes, sir. Fortunately, the air photos
remained on file.
If you look here,
there are two people on this road.
It's a vertical angle
so you can only see their heads.
But if you look closely,
one is in a wheelchair.
Also, 100 meters from them,
there's a parked car.
I asked the National Forensic Service
for help,
and from the overhang
and the trunk's length...
we can tell it's an Avante.
An Avante.
An Avante...
Are we the only household with an Avante?
It's a very common car!
It's a common car,
but among Seo-eun's acquaintances,
she's the only one who owns this car.
You took her in
just because she owned that car model?
I could've come in instead of her!
Back in the day, only Kyu-seok
and your Mom had a license,
so I need to talk to your Mom.
Mom, don't say a thing.
This is all you have
and you're putting us through this?
This is unbelievable.
-The same goes for me too!
-Gosh, you surprised me!
You should come here announced!
That's what I'm doing now.
Anyhow, I have solid leads
that you'd die to hear, Detective Bae.
Ma'am, you have dermatophytosis
on your hands, right?
Your medical records indicate
that you've had it since you were young.
There's this ingredient called Puriorine
in the ointment
that you were using at the time.
But when this gets in contact
with desiccant compounds
in the mummifying process,
it creates illipenoid,
which was found on Seo-eun's scratches
on her hands and arms.
It usually melts away in water,
but the oil component
in the ointment preserved it,
leaving it intact on the mummy.
Is that enough for you?
That's nonsense! That's impossible!
Something's wrong. Isn't that right, Mom?
It's not like that, right? Say something!
Escort Kyu-hee out of here!
Let go! Mom, don't say a word, okay?
You can go ahead and tell us everything.
Nothing will change, and nothing good
will come out of it by keeping silent.
This is your last chance to say sorry
to Seo-eun and your son.
Yes.
Nothing will change and nothing good
will come out of it by keeping silent.
Please give us your permission, Mom!
Kyu-seok,
listen to your mom.
I will leave him.
I wasn't thinking clearly.
I really believed them when they told me
that they would break up.
But...
I'm sorry, Mom.
I can never leave Seo-eun.
We even had a small engagement ceremony.
So please allow us to be together!
Hi, Seo-eun? It's me.
Can you spare a bit of your time?
You can choose the place where we'll meet.
I'm...
pregnant.
What?
I found out about it this morning.
What are you talking about?
A baby?
Are you two out of your mind?
Kyu-seok doesn't know yet!
But he did agree to having a child.
Both of you are being irresponsible.
What if the baby is born
and ends up being like you?
You know exactly why I am
against you two getting married!
The baby won't necessarily
become like me, Mother!
How would you know?
I didn't know you were so wicked.
How dare you?
Even if the baby is born like me,
I will raise the child well.
This baby...
is precious.
No.
Absolutely not.
I won't let that happen!
We had a small engagement yesterday.
So please Mother...
No.
Take it off. I will never allow it!
-Take it off! Now!
-Please accept it, Mother!
It's all my fault.
All because of me.
You would've just turned yourself in
back then.
When Seo-eun's body was discovered,
the world went crazy
thinking it was an alien.
But everyone was let down,
when it turned out to be a person.
But Seo-eun was an alien.
Because you and the rest of the world
treated her like one.
Well, where is the ring
that you pulled out?
I can't remember.
I put it in my pocket,
but I think I lost it.
I told you it was going to rain.
Did you have a reunion outdoors?
You're all wet.
I parked my car too far.
-You must be hungry, so let's go in.
-Yes.
After he mummified Seo-eun,
he didn't stop.
He spent more than a month trying
to figure out the truth.
Then he must've found out through the ring
that it was his Mom who did it.
But he couldn't tell anyone,
because it was his Mom.
A single mother with her son
being the world to her.
That must've put him in more pain.
To reveal the truth,
his Mom would become a murderer.
Also, to conceal it would mean
losing his one true love.
Kyu-seok couldn't bear the burden
and eventually made such a decision.
THE DECEASED
SEO-EUN JUNG
Everything has been solved.
You can finally let go of all the burden
that you had to carry.
You can cry now. You can cry now, right?
How did I know?
Seo-eun
Miraculously, the senses
on your left hand were back.
You recovered enough to be able to write.
Even when you recovered,
you wanted to keep it hidden...
as if you knew nothing.
Because you must have thought it was
the best for everybody to cause less pain.
Perhaps it could've been better
if the truth has not surfaced.
However, the people living a lie
wasn't truly living.
Keeping the truth hidden,
and living a lie isn't really living.
Empty as can be with no love,
no joy and not even sadness.
The truth is the best remedy
that makes us human.
Even if that truth is
an overwhelming tragedy.
What amazing weather,
don't you think, Dr. Han?
Since when did you call me so?
How did you find out I was here?
I have you in the palm of my hand.
I have no intention of being
in the palm of your hand.
Why don't we say our goodbyes
as the case is closed?
That's fine,
but we have unfinished business, remember?
What?
You owe me 100,000 won.
What 100,000 won?
"Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia
with joint laxity, leptodactylic type."
-What?
-Do you want to hear it again?
"Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia
with joint laxity, leptodactylic type."
There, give me my 100,000 won.
You said you would.
You are seriously unbelievable,
doing that for 100,000 won.
I only have 60,000 won in cash.
I'll give you 40,000 won later.
Do you think I'll fall for this?
There's an ATM in town!
Stop right there, you punk!
Hold on one moment.
I don't want the surgery.
I don't want it done.
But it can get worse.
I know, doctor.
But... I'll overcome it
with my own volition.
I will.
In-sung Park.
A patient at Shangrila Nursing Home
killed a fellow 51-year-old patient,
Dong-won Lee, with his Korean chessboard.
Shangrila.
It's a place in a book called
Lost Horizon by James Hilton...
Eight out of eleven patients died
of natural causes.
Goodness.
It's more like a nursing home
for delinquents.
I wonder how you were absent
just on that day.
You're saying it was hallucinosis?
You see, hallucinosis doesn't just occur
out of nowhere.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You caused it, didn't you?
We need to go
to the nursing home immediately.
Try hiding forever if you can.
I will strip you down to pieces.
Because he knew something he shouldn't?
A huge secret.
Subtitle translation by Kun-young Park
Boss!
-Boss!
-What's wrong?
There's something weird in the kitchen.
Really?
-What is that?
-That's...
Isn't that an alien?
Alien or Human? What Is the Truth?
Alien Enthusiasts Flock to the
Place of Discovery. It's Chaos!
First Unknown Life Discovered
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
ALIENS EXIST!
FIND THE UFO!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
Academia and NASA staff from the U.S.
are carrying out a joint investigation
here at the site where
an unidentified life form was discovered.
A crowd of alien enthusiasts is demanding
close observation.
The National Forensic Service
has yet to confirm
the identity of the discovered life form,
and there are many speculations
going around
as well as conspiracy theories.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICE
OVERSEES RE-AUTOPSIES
AND INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATES
RARE DISEASE CASES
EPISODE 1
-Is it here?
-It will arrive in ten minutes.
Reporters haven't noticed, right?
No, Chief. It's still quiet.
My heart is pounding.
What if it's really
an unidentified life form?
What should we do?
Get a grip, will you?
-What's this?
-Well,
he's one of the enthusiasts over there,
but he sneaked in wearing this uniform
and stayed with the researchers.
He even took pictures.
Where did you get this?
You mean this?
It's from a group purchase online.
It's just 15,900 won. Pretty neat, right?
Soon enough, there'll be CIA,
KGB, and what not. Take him away.
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
-Let us see!
Is anybody there?
Is anyone there?
Of course, someone is here.
Does this look like a doghouse?
Who are you?
Me? I'm a detective.
Who are you? What do you do?
What kind of question is that?
Of course, I'm a doctor.
Can't you even tell?
Doctor?
What kind of a doctor?
Me?
I'm a neurosurgeon specialist
and a great scholar, Dr. Jin-woo Han,
-one of the investigators.
-What crap.
Why would an investigator
be sleeping here?
I'm telling you the truth.
Here, take a look.
Great. They sell everything.
Is this also a group purchase online?
Come on!
Do I look like an imposter to you?
Yes! Do you consider this a playground?
Don't you have anything better to do?
Come on!
Why are you talking to me like that,
you grumpy old man?
You spoiled little kid! How dare you!
How should I address you, then?
You look like a fucking alcoholic.
A fucking alcoholic?
Are you seriously asking for it?
That's it. Come with me.
Let go of me!
I'll prove it to you. Wait for a second.
Let me just turn this on.
Just stay put. Stay exactly where you are.
Right.
What in the world?
All right.
I'll give you three minutes.
Take down your tent and stay here!
There's an alien!
My goodness. He surely lost his mind.
Detective Bae?
Is that you, Detective Bae?
Dr. Jo, I didn't know
you were working here.
Yes, I am. I'm in charge of this facility.
Goodness. How have you been?
The last time I saw, you were in Ansan.
I'm currently stationed here in Gwangju.
You're still the same.
What brought you here?
I heard that an alien
was to be delivered here.
That's right. Is it in your jurisdiction?
You can say that.
I wanted more information.
You were always keen.
-Please come in.
-Okay.
Where's the body?
Is it in the autopsy room?
You!
-What is he doing here?
-Why are you...
I'm glad I ran into you!
I made an exhibition of myself
because of you! You're dead!
Goodness! Let go of me!
You started it!
You punk...
-Come on!
-Stop!
It seems like two of you have already met.
Detective Bae.
Dr. Han is a part-time
neurosurgeon specialist at my office.
What did I tell you?
What kind of a detective
can't even tell a person apart?
What kind of a doctor behaves like this?
He looks like a petty juvenile criminal.
A petty juvenile...
You're a fucking
alcoholic-looking shitty cop!
Stop it!
My goodness!
-It looks better in person.
-That's what I'm saying.
Just by the looks of it,
it's definitely an alien.
Amazing, look at its head.
This is too good.
Smile, one, two.
Great shot.
-Do you have the primary analysis result?
-Yes.
The result is...
This is not an alien but a human.
-The body is not decomposed, but dried.
-I knew it.
This so-called alien is nonsense.
Excuse me, the doctor is not
done speaking. How dare you cut in?
I'm sorry. My apologies.
Anyhow, what's more shocking is that
it's not just a dried body,
but a mummy.
-A mummy?
-That's right.
From the skin condition
and its preserved state,
we can presume it's a mummy.
How did you figure that out?
When I saw the state of the body
on the articles,
the skull was severely deformed
as you can see,
and the skin condition looked
more like it's dried
instead of decomposed.
I got curious as to how that's possible,
so I went to the site
to check out the environment.
My goodness, this amazing insight
and intellectual curiosity!
Chief, is this even possible?
We're not even in Egypt,
so how can this be a mummy?
Excuse me, don't you know
mummies exist not only in Egypt,
but in other countries as well?
Didn't you pay attention
during your history class?
I took a mechanics class
instead of history class.
Please!
Put your past behind,
and take a look at this body first.
Based on our records, it's 141.6 cm
and the gender is female.
It was probably around 160 cm tall
before death.
It would have shrunk 10 to 20 centimeters
as it was dried.
That's right.
Based on the primary autopsy result,
the skull was fractured by impact.
The arms, legs and ribs are all fractured,
and have plenty of lacerations.
Also, on the hands and arms,
many tiny scratches are found,
which resemble human nail scratches.
Especially with the shape of the skull,
the fractured skull bones
got to open and rise
due to desiccation and gas,
shaping it like a crown.
By the looks of it, it doesn't seem
fractured by a blunt weapon.
That's right.
We can tell from its shape,
that it's a collision caused
by a car accident or a fall.
There's a high chance that one of those
is the actual cause of death.
You're very sharp-sighted.
I've been a detective
since you were a baby.
Excuse me,
but I wasn't just an ordinary baby.
You see, I was probably just as smart as
you now when I was still a baby.
Dr. Han, it's about time
you shut your mouth.
Also, Detective Bae,
please put aside your personal feelings,
and show some respect
for the doctor, will you?
Will you be all right without me?
Stop worrying, will you?
I'm not a baby anymore.
I'm sorry to leave you like this.
I'll be back as soon as
I'm done with training.
Go study hard.
So that you can one day be
at my level of intelligence.
Goodness.
Call me if anything comes up.
No hiding this time.
Promise?
There are no side effects,
but other problems may arise.
What kind of problems?
There won't be any physical pain,
but difficulty
in controlling emotions could continue
and a slight schizophernia might occur.
Controlling emotions
should be your priority.
Carbon dating analysis is ready.
Between 10 to 15 years.
I guess it hasn't been too long.
That was a fast analysis.
Radiocarbon reaction was much faster
than expected,
and it was the same for the protein tests.
All the examiners were shocked.
Between 10 to 15 years...
It wouldn't have been up to 15 years.
The house was occupied until 1999.
An old couple lived there
until they passed away,
and due to unclear house registration,
the place remained vacant.
If the body was placed thereafter,
then it would be 13 years at most.
Also, if it is indeed
the work of a criminal,
the statute of limitations is still open.
What brings you here again?
I almost forgot.
This is a warrant signed
by the prosecutor in charge,
and a permission from headquarters.
I am temporarily in charge of
investigating this specific case.
Is that right?
That's great for us,
police jurisdiction and all.
Yes, but why does it have to be
Detective Bae for this case?
We don't let just anyone
join us like this.
Just anyone?
Wouldn't you be the one who is
"just anyone," great scholar Dr. Han?
Here we go again.
A small amount of substance was found
on the scratches
of the mummy's hands and arms.
It turns out it's ilipenoid.
Illipenoid? What's that?
I've never heard of it.
It only exists as a chemical formula
and its usage is unknown.
That's odd.
Why would an unknown chemical compound
be on the mummy?
Maybe an alien scratched her.
Well, there's nothing helpful to me.
Please continue with your research.
Why don't I really start
with my investigation?
Wait a second.
What is it?
Let me come with you too.
Our office is in charge of this case,
so we lay out the rules.
Why would a part-time doctor
roam around the scene?
Do you really have nothing better to do?
Then do you have so much time
that you butt your nose
into every little thing
and get in people's way?
Because I'm a detective!
A dead body was found in a deserted house.
Somebody is getting away
with a perfect crime here.
It wasn't an alien after all,
and it turns out to be a mummy.
Seeing what the killer did to the body,
he must be a total psycho.
Who knows if there are more victims?
My usual domain or not,
I have to catch the creep!
Okay, I get it, but still,
why does it have
to be you who is doing it?
Because once I start an investigation,
I stick to it until the end.
That's who I am! Tae-shik Bae!
So stop acting up
and wait inside like a good child.
I refuse to do so.
Where do you think you're going?
Did you not hear me?
You're acting so cheap!
Do you think this wreck
is the only available transportation?
If I catch you roaming around the site,
I'll whoop your ass crazy
so that you can't even take a crap.
What's that?
Taking a crap?
I thought that was your expertise,
like this?
You punk...
What the hell?
Who's there?
Thank you for the toilet paper
you gave me last time, you punk.
Didn't I tell you that I would kick
your bottom if I saw you here?
I'm here for forensic research.
It's undoubtedly my domain.
It's unbelievable
what CSI can do to people.
Do you think a suspect
will just pop up if you dig?
What if one does?
How dare you keep talking back to me!
You kid.
Why are you following a kid around?
Why would I be following you around?
I was here a while ago
and I checked around town.
Okay, whatever, please do not disturb me
while I'm investigating.
Hurry up and leave.
The process of mummification
is right next to a furnace...
You call it a furnace
when it's used as a furnace.
How would you know
if this was used as a furnace or not?
What, do you see traces of the past now?
Is that it?
If you use the furnace,
the entire town would have seen the smoke
and smelled the firewood.
Would a criminal want
to attract such attention?
Take a look around outside.
You'll see the smoke from anywhere
within the three-kilometre radius.
You're dying to know
why he would dump a body here
of all places, right?
Slide it, just slightly.
What's this got to do with it?
You wouldn't know, would you?
That's just to hide something temporarily.
If you were trying to hide it,
you wouldn't put the body there.
You would rather bury it somewhere else.
Then, this was only a temporary hideout
in order to take it out again?
I guess that makes sense.
I thought you knew all kinds of things.
Is that all you can come up with?
I have to explain everything to you
in baby steps.
All right, whatever.
Yes?
As you can see, a gene mutation was found
in the mummy.
The gene mutation, KIF22.
Can you open the file
with the x-rays of the mummy?
Partial undergrowth, joint deterioration,
irregular joint dislocation
as well as KIF22 gene mutation.
This is crucial evidence right here.
This mummy had...
Wait for it...
Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia
with joint laxity, leptodactylic type.
Is that the name of the disease?
Yes. A piece of cake, right?
I know spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia,
but is that a hybrid of the sort?
Yes.
This isn't derived
from the nervous system or the brain,
but a genetic bone disease.
There's probably less than
five recorded patients in the country.
Hold on a second, Detective Bae.
What?
Shouldn't you be asking
what kind of disease this is?
Why should I know? I'm not a doctor.
Amazing, you're truly one of a kind.
Detective Bae,
if you memorize the name of this disease,
I'll give you 100,000 won cash.
No tax for it, in cash.
You punk...
Anyhow,
what it is that it is caused
by a hereditary gene that deteriorates
each end of vertabrae
and causes
irregularity in the balance of structure,
thus stunting growth.
The mummy is affected
to the point of involving mutation
on on the distal neck of the ilium.
With such severity, I would say
she couldn't have walked at all.
That's right. Even balancing
herself would have been hard,
so most likely, she was on a wheelchair.
I guess we should start identifying her.
With such a rare disease,
it narrows down a bunch.
Name, Seo-eun Jung.
In 2002, April 23rd at around 8:00 p.m.,
she committed suicide by jumping into
a truck while she was in the wheelchair
on the highway near Hou-ri, Yangpyeong.
Age at the time of death, 23.
A suicide?
SEONG-JI POLICE STATION
Can you make it quick?
We'll be here all day!
You and your temper. Calm down!
Here it is. Seo-eun Jung.
-A suicide, jumping in front of a truck.
-Why did she do that?
It just says because of her disease.
-It happened on Hou-ri Highway.
-Was there an autopsy?
My goodness. Where did you come from?
Nevermind.
I'm a doctor at Hankook University
Medical Examiner Office, Jin-woo Han.
-You don't listen...
-Was there an autopsy?
There was none
since it was ruled as a suicide.
Did her family or relatives
say anything about it?
No. She was an orphan.
-Then what about her funeral?
-A temporary guardian held it.
I remember. It was her fiancé.
Fiancé?
Kyu-seok Choi.
Yes, I remember him now.
Please, can I plea for an autopsy, sir?
Because it is clearly a suicide,
they won't allow it.
Seo-eun had no reason to commit suicide!
We were planning on getting married.
Look at our ring!
I'm sorry to say this,
but you never know what's going on...
inside one's mind.
But she absolutely had no reason to!
-Please, let her body get an autopsy!
- He insisted on taking her body,
and so he did. We are not allowed
to do that, but I felt so bad
that I made an exception for him.
Even after the funeral,
he came back for weeks
asking for a reinvestigation.
That's when it all happened.
Detective.
Can you give me his information?
What happened to him?
Didn't you already know?
No, we had no idea.
My Kyu-seok...
around 12 years ago...
Who are you people?
Mom, who are they?
They are detectives.
She is Kyu-seok's older sister.
We have a couple of questions.
Mom, go inside.
Charge of disposing a body?
Then why don't you just arrest him?
Arresting him doesn't matter.
The truth is what matters.
We would like to know the reasons
behind the mummifying
of his fiancée's dead body.
How should we know?
That crazy fool. Has he gone mad or what?
Then, can you tell us
how Kyu-seok ended up like that?
I already did 12 years ago,
over and over again.
Do your own research.
Also, don't ever come back.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
Sir.
-Did you go through his file?
-Yes, sir.
Who's that?
One of the nation's top stuck-ups.
He's a doctor from Hankook University
Medical Examiner Office.
What a lovely introduction.
Hi, I'm Jin-woo Han.
I'm Detective Ran Lee.
Ran Lee? Lee Ran. Like, the country? Iran?
Yes, that's funny.
Yes, it is. Iran, great.
Pathetic. Start reading!
Yes.
"He was the victim's fiancé,
and 12 years ago, he attempted suicide
45 days after the victim's death
by jumping off of a building."
It's recorded that his reasons
for attempting suicide was
due to his despair
for losing his fiancée like that.
How unfortunate.
So much for Romeo and Juliet.
That crazy fool.
Why would do something like that?
What do you mean by that crazy fool?
He couldn't accept reality,
therefore he could not
let go of her, you know?
He was all sad and depressed.
In ancient times,
there were plenty of records that involve
mummifying of their loved ones
because they loved them so much.
Yes, that was in ancient times.
Crazy people would do that now.
Love is timeless.
What do you know about love, Detective?
Of course, I know.
Sa-rang Kim, the actress.
What on earth? Great.
I can't even talk with you.
I thought there was something more to it
with this case.
So that's it? That's all there is?
-How much?
-It's 12,000 won, sir.
-Thank you for the meal.
-Hey, the bill...
Really!
-How much is it again?
-It's 12,000 won.
Here is 12,000 won.
Can I have the receipt, please?
Can I have two more extra?
How embarrassing. Seriously.
Hello.
What?
What do you mean microcystis
was detected in the stomach?
At first, we just thought
it was only decomposed food.
After complete examination,
it turned out it's not.
Micro...
-What's that?
-It's plankton.
Plankton?
Wouldn't that be found in a drowned body?
That's correct.
We're not sure but with the amount found,
there's a high chance that she drowned.
A drowned body gets up
and jumps into a truck?
That's it!
The real reason for mummifying her body.
Kyu-seok wanted to leave evidence...
that her death wasn't a suicide.
That's why he didn't follow
the traditional mummifying procedures,
so that he could leave the organs intact.
This is such an open field,
how can anybody commit murder here?
You see, a long time ago,
this place was just a reservoir
with a bunch of rocks around.
A cemetery is behind this hill,
so nobody comes to fish here.
How would I know
if anyone came to fish here or not?
But if someone drowned her here,
it doesn't make sense
to throw her down there
and drag her back up.
Could she have been forced under water?
Wrong! You're way off.
When someone pushes a person's head
under water like that,
the person's resistance will
make him use more force,
and create a purple spot behind the neck.
And traces remain
around the neck, shoulder, or head.
But traces were only found
on the arms, hands, and fingers.
Then how would she have drowned?
That's shallow water.
You should really pay attention
to the forensic results. It's her illness!
Even if it's shallow water,
it was fatal for her
as she could barely use her lower body.
I guess so.
Acknowledging your ignorance
and taking a learner's attitude
isn't something that is humiliating,
Detective Bae.
You got lucky, you show-off.
-What's up, Ran Lee?
-Sir.
I forgot to mention one thing.
At the time of the crime,
Kyu-seok lived
at a ceramics workshop nearby.
Ceramics workshop?
He was a bright young man,
even got his masters in archaeology.
He came across a lecture of mine
and got into ceramics.
You must've known Seo-eun as well?
Sure I did. She lived across town.
She came here often.
Were there any issues
between Kyu-seok and Seo-eun?
Not at all. They were a lovely couple.
As you know, Kyu-seok's family was
against their relationship.
They went through a lot because of that.
It was a bit out of control.
They were really harsh on her.
What do you mean by harsh?
What are you doing?
Shut up. Is this a joke?
You said you were leaving him!
-I'm sorry.
-Forget it!
Did you think I would fall for it too
after you deceived my mom? Bitch!
Make a decision.
Live with her or watch your mom die.
Kyu-hee.
It was quite ugly that day.
After that, there were two more
similar occurrences.
Do you recall the day of the incident
by any chance?
There wasn't anything in particular.
Kyu-seok and I were working on ceramics
the whole day.
Yes, that's right.
It was a chaotic day
with the city redevelopment
construction going on.
There were helicopters for aerial shots
with government officials
all over town as well.
I see.
Do you have anything that belonged
to Kyu-seok? A memo? Anything?
What's that?
A mummified weasel and a squirrel.
He experimented on animals
before doing it on a human.
Mummification books are there.
He had archaeological background
and the experiments.
What a waste of time and energy.
The man should've put all this effort
into being a good son.
This belonged to Seo-eun at that time,
with her name written and all.
Why would he have kept this? That freak.
If his intention was
to leave behind evidence,
this could be one as well.
Wait.
She lived across town.
How did she get around? By the wheelchair?
If not by car,
could she get around on her own?
She had Kyu-seok as her fiancé.
Did you not hear earlier?
He said Kyu-seok was
at the workshop all day long.
The place of her accident
and her home is quite the distance.
Okay, then somebody
gave her a ride that day.
-Thank you, please come again.
-Thank you.
I'm sorry to bother you at work.
So you're the one who would give rides
to Seo-eun?
Yes.
We grew up together like sisters.
Weren't you with her on the day
of the incident?
She said she was going to stay home,
so I stayed at my place.
Did she mention anything else?
Like meeting somebody?
No, she didn't.
If she was planning to,
I would be the first one to know.
When you weren't available,
how did she get around?
She would call a taxi or get rides
from the social welfare center.
This is another topic,
but was she struggling to the point
of committing suicide?
No.
Kyu-seok's family's opposition
to their relationship was severe,
but she wouldn't have done
something like that.
Their love was strong.
They were absolutely in love...
to the point of making others envious.
Kyu-seok was a fine man...
who would be any woman's ideal type
of a man.
The day before Seo-eun died,
Kyu-seok proposed to her.
She was so happy.
I was so happy for them that I even cried.
Then all that happened the next day,
and later, to Kyu-seok.
Seo-eun, Kyu-hee
Mummy, deserted house, suicide
Mi-kyung
Kyu-seok
Seo-eun
Kyu-hee
Mi-kyung
Kyu-seok.
What is it and how much of it do you know?
Yes, I hit her. So what?
That isn't the right response.
You resorted to violence!
She deserved it.
Excuse me, Kyu-hee.
I'm not accusing you
of only slapping her a couple times here.
I'm curious to know what happened
after the slapping, understand?
Are you saying I killed Seo-eun?
What is this that I'm hearing?
Detective.
What is going on here?
It's not like that, Mom.
Do you have any proof?
It's the lack of proof
that's keeping you out of jail.
But if anything comes up,
you won't be experiencing
any courtesy like today.
Then why don't you question
Mi-kyung as well?
I'm not the only one
who committed violence on her.
Don't confuse pity and love.
Kyu-seok may be acting
like he loves you now due to sympathy,
but that won't last long.
Mi-kyung.
So just give Kyu-seok up.
You know you don't deserve him.
How can you do this to me?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
What?
It was jealousy.
A smart and handsome man falls
for a disabled, of all people.
Right?
People tend to be drawn to fine object...
or people, right?
You want to score
but there's a goalkeeper.
So why not get rid of the goalkeeper.
Right?
Is that why you drowned her
and made it look like an accident?
Of course not.
How can you say such a thing?
One of the worst things
you can do is abusing the disabled.
People like you
have no compassion whatsoever.
Who knows what else
they'll do if they're ticked off?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why are you doing this to me?
You were with her
on the day of the incident, right?
No! I was at my place.
I already told you that.
It was pouring that day.
Didn't you even worry about her?
That's why I called her,
but she didn't answer.
Did you say that's why you called her?
It wasn't raining at your place.
It only rained within
the five-kilometer radius of Hou-ri.
Your place in Yangsu-ri was dry.
Your lies aren't going anywhere.
You killed her, right?
I did give her a ride,
but I left right after she asked me
to give her a moment.
She said she was meeting
someone important.
Who would that be?
She didn't say who.
You do realize that everything
you said doesn't add up.
I can give you a day.
Turning yourself in is difficult indeed.
No. I did not kill Seo-eun.
Do you have any proof that I did?
So 12 years ago means no phone call
records, CCTV footage, nothing!
They're screaming for proof.
If something just turns up...
So do you think Mi-kyung did it?
She was at the scene
but the chances are 50:50.
Well, that's 50% that she didn't.
I'm the one hanging at the end
of the rope after interrogation.
A killer that hasn't been
caught for as long as
ten years or so,
have made up the perfect scenario.
They've thought
of every loophole possible out there.
Great.
You sound like a real cop
when you say something like that.
Show some respect for the elderly.
I think you need to go
to an attitude management camp.
Waitress, can I get another side dish?
Oh gosh!
Why are you scratching
your feet while eating?
I'm scratching with my left hand
and eating with my right!
Don't just wear socks for athlete's foot.
Go see a doctor,
take pills, put on some ointment...
Are you about to puke?
I need to go.
You punk! Pay for the food before you go!
I didn't bring my wallet...
Is that his new strategy?
Illipenoid? What's that?
I've never heard of it.
It only exists as a chemical formula
and its usage is unknown.
As requested,
I looked up the aircraft records that day.
One aircraft was identified
from 2 p.m. until sundown, sir.
Not with the air force?
Pardon?
Right. It was an aircraft for the city
of Incheon and was doing an aerial shot.
And in the first half of the year...
Goodness, just get to the point,
you're speaking gibberish.
Hey!
-You've looked up the files too, right?
-Yes.
Can you read it? It's so complicated.
Yes, sir. Fortunately, the air photos
remained on file.
If you look here,
there are two people on this road.
It's a vertical angle
so you can only see their heads.
But if you look closely,
one is in a wheelchair.
Also, 100 meters from them,
there's a parked car.
I asked the National Forensic Service
for help,
and from the overhang
and the trunk's length...
we can tell it's an Avante.
An Avante.
An Avante...
Are we the only household with an Avante?
It's a very common car!
It's a common car,
but among Seo-eun's acquaintances,
she's the only one who owns this car.
You took her in
just because she owned that car model?
I could've come in instead of her!
Back in the day, only Kyu-seok
and your Mom had a license,
so I need to talk to your Mom.
Mom, don't say a thing.
This is all you have
and you're putting us through this?
This is unbelievable.
-The same goes for me too!
-Gosh, you surprised me!
You should come here announced!
That's what I'm doing now.
Anyhow, I have solid leads
that you'd die to hear, Detective Bae.
Ma'am, you have dermatophytosis
on your hands, right?
Your medical records indicate
that you've had it since you were young.
There's this ingredient called Puriorine
in the ointment
that you were using at the time.
But when this gets in contact
with desiccant compounds
in the mummifying process,
it creates illipenoid,
which was found on Seo-eun's scratches
on her hands and arms.
It usually melts away in water,
but the oil component
in the ointment preserved it,
leaving it intact on the mummy.
Is that enough for you?
That's nonsense! That's impossible!
Something's wrong. Isn't that right, Mom?
It's not like that, right? Say something!
Escort Kyu-hee out of here!
Let go! Mom, don't say a word, okay?
You can go ahead and tell us everything.
Nothing will change, and nothing good
will come out of it by keeping silent.
This is your last chance to say sorry
to Seo-eun and your son.
Yes.
Nothing will change and nothing good
will come out of it by keeping silent.
Please give us your permission, Mom!
Kyu-seok,
listen to your mom.
I will leave him.
I wasn't thinking clearly.
I really believed them when they told me
that they would break up.
But...
I'm sorry, Mom.
I can never leave Seo-eun.
We even had a small engagement ceremony.
So please allow us to be together!
Hi, Seo-eun? It's me.
Can you spare a bit of your time?
You can choose the place where we'll meet.
I'm...
pregnant.
What?
I found out about it this morning.
What are you talking about?
A baby?
Are you two out of your mind?
Kyu-seok doesn't know yet!
But he did agree to having a child.
Both of you are being irresponsible.
What if the baby is born
and ends up being like you?
You know exactly why I am
against you two getting married!
The baby won't necessarily
become like me, Mother!
How would you know?
I didn't know you were so wicked.
How dare you?
Even if the baby is born like me,
I will raise the child well.
This baby...
is precious.
No.
Absolutely not.
I won't let that happen!
We had a small engagement yesterday.
So please Mother...
No.
Take it off. I will never allow it!
-Take it off! Now!
-Please accept it, Mother!
It's all my fault.
All because of me.
You would've just turned yourself in
back then.
When Seo-eun's body was discovered,
the world went crazy
thinking it was an alien.
But everyone was let down,
when it turned out to be a person.
But Seo-eun was an alien.
Because you and the rest of the world
treated her like one.
Well, where is the ring
that you pulled out?
I can't remember.
I put it in my pocket,
but I think I lost it.
I told you it was going to rain.
Did you have a reunion outdoors?
You're all wet.
I parked my car too far.
-You must be hungry, so let's go in.
-Yes.
After he mummified Seo-eun,
he didn't stop.
He spent more than a month trying
to figure out the truth.
Then he must've found out through the ring
that it was his Mom who did it.
But he couldn't tell anyone,
because it was his Mom.
A single mother with her son
being the world to her.
That must've put him in more pain.
To reveal the truth,
his Mom would become a murderer.
Also, to conceal it would mean
losing his one true love.
Kyu-seok couldn't bear the burden
and eventually made such a decision.
THE DECEASED
SEO-EUN JUNG
Everything has been solved.
You can finally let go of all the burden
that you had to carry.
You can cry now. You can cry now, right?
How did I know?
Seo-eun
Miraculously, the senses
on your left hand were back.
You recovered enough to be able to write.
Even when you recovered,
you wanted to keep it hidden...
as if you knew nothing.
Because you must have thought it was
the best for everybody to cause less pain.
Perhaps it could've been better
if the truth has not surfaced.
However, the people living a lie
wasn't truly living.
Keeping the truth hidden,
and living a lie isn't really living.
Empty as can be with no love,
no joy and not even sadness.
The truth is the best remedy
that makes us human.
Even if that truth is
an overwhelming tragedy.
What amazing weather,
don't you think, Dr. Han?
Since when did you call me so?
How did you find out I was here?
I have you in the palm of my hand.
I have no intention of being
in the palm of your hand.
Why don't we say our goodbyes
as the case is closed?
That's fine,
but we have unfinished business, remember?
What?
You owe me 100,000 won.
What 100,000 won?
"Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia
with joint laxity, leptodactylic type."
-What?
-Do you want to hear it again?
"Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia
with joint laxity, leptodactylic type."
There, give me my 100,000 won.
You said you would.
You are seriously unbelievable,
doing that for 100,000 won.
I only have 60,000 won in cash.
I'll give you 40,000 won later.
Do you think I'll fall for this?
There's an ATM in town!
Stop right there, you punk!
Hold on one moment.
I don't want the surgery.
I don't want it done.
But it can get worse.
I know, doctor.
But... I'll overcome it
with my own volition.
I will.
In-sung Park.
A patient at Shangrila Nursing Home
killed a fellow 51-year-old patient,
Dong-won Lee, with his Korean chessboard.
Shangrila.
It's a place in a book called
Lost Horizon by James Hilton...
Eight out of eleven patients died
of natural causes.
Goodness.
It's more like a nursing home
for delinquents.
I wonder how you were absent
just on that day.
You're saying it was hallucinosis?
You see, hallucinosis doesn't just occur
out of nowhere.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You caused it, didn't you?
We need to go
to the nursing home immediately.
Try hiding forever if you can.
I will strip you down to pieces.
Because he knew something he shouldn't?
A huge secret.
