RARE DISEASE CASES
EPISODE 10
You explain first.
What is this about?
Go ahead and explain!
What about him?
What about him?
I told you I almost died
trying to catch him!
What are you hiding from me?
I'll tell you later.
Later? There is no later!
I have nothing to tell you!
I need to get my thoughts straight first,
so stop yelling at me
and give me some time to do that.
Fine.
I'll give you time.
Just one day.
You better get things organized
well enough
for a fool like me
to understand it clearly, all right?
Dr. Han!
What?
It's Wan-ho Jo's past medical records
that you asked for.
Medical records?
Yes.
Oh, I forgot. The medical records.
Something is up with this guy, right?
You've got to tell me now.
Please.
I don't know either.
Dr. Han, Dr. Han.
I'm so curious! Come on, Dr. Han.
Chang-hyun Ahn, 38 years old. Unemployed.
He died at Dooyang Park two mornings ago
while sleeping.
The cause of death
was parathion addiction.
He mixed it with alcohol and drank it.
Parathion?
Isn't that
one of the strongest pesticides?
It was used during the time of Hitler.
It was banned because it was too toxic,
killing too many people.
It messes up
all living organisms' endocrine systems.
If poisoned, it's extremely painful,
so it has been replaced with methyl
parathion or other weaker pesticides.
He was in the center of Seoul,
not in a rural town,
and he killed himself with pesticide?
We don't know yet if he killed himself.
But there weren't any signs
of alcohol or pesticide
at the place he was found.
Does he have a family?
Not at all.
He's not married and he doesn't have
any parents or siblings.
But
it's rare to do a meticulous autopsy
of a homeless person.
A person like this is usually considered
as a nomad
and is often cremated right away.
When the body was found,
a doctor happened to be there
while doing his morning exercise.
He checked his condition and reported
the cause of death as poisoning.
So the doctor brought him here.
Why was he brought to us?
A strange condition was found
through the first round of autopsy.
Not only did the peripheral nerves
and cerebrum have problems,
but the optic nerve
had severe contraction as well.
Was it not due to pesticides?
It may have been, but some things
are not related to parathion.
Of course.
You never say anything wrong, Dr. Han.
So they want us to check the possibility
of a rare disease
and determine
if it was suicide or not, correct?
I'm looking into his past medical records,
so we should find out soon.
All right. Let's get started.
Okay.
Just like the preliminary autopsy,
the cause of death
is parathion poisoning.
Endocrine systems are all melted down,
which led to seizure and shock.
And there are signs of gastrectomy
which was probably due to cancer.
There was a sign of glossitis as well,
but this has nothing to do with parathion.
But if the lips were white,
that proves it was parathion.
There are cerebrum
and spinal cord problems,
plus gastrectomy.
Then there's a high chance
of neurological disease, right?
His medical record is here.
Chang-hyun Ahn was...
Maybe
it was subacute combined
degeneration of the spinal cord?
Wasn't it?
You're right.
Schilling test, DTR acceleration
and Babinski's reflex
all came out positive.
Isn't that a rare disease
accompanied by pernicious anemia?
It is.
It's a degenerative disease
caused by lack of vitamin B12
from pernicious anemia.
The causes are gastrectomy
and malabsorption syndrome.
So the gastrectomy led to pernicious
anemia which then led to a disease?
So,
is his disease related
to his death or not?
As of now, it seems like it wasn't.
Then I'll find out if someone fed him,
or if he fed himself.
It's hot!
Hold on.
I was drunk as well,
so my memory is not very clear,
but someone carried him,
and threw him over here.
Did you see who it was?
Of course.
But I can't remember.
Detective Bae.
It is definitely a murder.
Here's a question.
Why was the body put here?
Someone knew that the homeless people
are taken care of quickly when they die.
Amazing. Exactly.
We don't know who it was,
but that person knew the victim
had no family or relatives.
So it wasn't supposed to be discovered...
But there was a doctor
when the body was found, unexpectedly.
Look into the people around him
and his past activities.
Okay.
-By the way, Ran Lee.
-Yes.
Sudden Manhood Death guy, Joo-hyung Yang's
and Wan-ho Jo's biographies...
Yes?
Did you give them to Dr. Han?
What?
Well...
Yes, I'm sorry.
Are you kidding me?
If this happens again,
I'm sending you back to accounting.
Understood, sir.
MEDICAL HISTORY
Wan-ho Jo.
Encephalocystomeningocele removal followed
by Charles Bonnet syndrome.
CHARLES BONNET SYNDROME:
IT CAUSES PEOPLE WHO’VE LOST
A LOT OF VISION TO SEE THINGS
THAT AREN’T REALLY THERE.
GL HOSPITAL NEUROSURGERY
He is Wan-ho Jo.
He was my patient last year.
So, according to his medical history,
the removal of encephalocystomeningocele
led to Charles Bonnet syndrome.
It wasn't a medical accident.
It occurred unexpectedly.
As you already know,
it was a very rare case.
Actually, it was my first time
seeing it as well.
What were the exact symptoms?
Due to the damage on his optic nerves,
he often experienced visual hallucination.
He struggled with perception
of space and object
which led him to have various phobias.
Isn't it impossible to behave normally
in such severe condition?
You're right.
It takes more than a couple of years
for treatment,
and it's hard to cure completely.
Detective Bae!
I went to the shelter
that Chang-hyun Ahn stayed at
and I was told he left the shelter
the day before he died.
The day before?
Yes. And someone visited him that day.
Who?
Fortunately, there was a surveillance
camera in the resting area.
Yes!
What an angle!
We can only see the back of his head.
Could it be someone who collects
the homeless' bios and sells them?
That is a probability.
Fake bank accounts or burner phones
are a huge trend for jerks
like these nowadays.
Zoom in on his neck.
Search for this tattoo. Start with gangs.
Okay.
Play it from here.
There's finally a face.
Darn, he even looks like a criminal.
I see who got caught.
Gosh!
Man.
You got lucky.
See you soon!
Stop!
What happened to you?
He came out of nowhere.
What kind of a punk was he?
It wasn't a man,
it was a woman.
A woman?
Then that was the person
who tried to hit me yesterday.
Give me what you have now.
Why are you so angry? Calm down.
Do you want an apple?
I don't feel like joking around.
Doo-min was in danger as well.
But in the end, you were both okay.
Isn't that enough?
You punk! Are you crazy?
Do I look crazy?
Darn! I'm not supposed to look like that!
Cut it out, you creep!
I did get my head straight,
so you should let go of me first.
I'm not the suspect, you know?
I'm sincerely asking.
Why did you look into Wan-ho Jo?
I'm asking with sincere reasons,
so don't try to lie to me.
It's not like you'll fall for it if I lie.
That's not how you are.
He looked suspicious to me
ever since I saw him.
His eyes and hands
were shaking abnormally.
In the eyes of the genius Dr. Han,
it looked like
he had neurological problems.
Of course, I don't exactly know
what that is.
But, it seemed like
he was trying to hold it in.
He looked like he was sad.
His mental and physical state
seemed disconnected.
Well,
it's nothing scientific.
Just my instinct.
Just like yours, Detective Bae.
Ever since I saw him,
he looked fake to me.
So I wondered if he had an illness,
or if he had gone crazy. I was curious.
So, I looked at his medical history
and that's why I had asked for his bio.
From Ran Lee, who's beautiful
without her glasses.
But there was nothing.
Oh, right.
He had a simple brain surgery.
Then why did you say Joo-hyung Yang
might have died due to torture?
Oh, that.
That's...
That's going to be too complex
for you to understand.
Do you still want me to tell you?
Stop joking around and tell me.
Okay.
His forehead had burns
and his chest had bruises.
If you go straight down from here,
the burn points to the brain stem
and the bruise points to the ventricle.
Let me explain the burn.
You know microwave, right?
Microwave uses ultrasonic waves
which shakes water particles like this.
Just like that, by using
an ultrasonic wave scalpel,
you can send the ultrasonic wave
exactly to where you want it.
Then the brain stem vibrates,
which puts the entire
nervous system in pain.
About the bruise,
ultrahigh frequency stimulates
the ventricle
and puts pressure to the heart.
This is extremely painful as well.
Both of these methods
only leave small physical marks
and no internal signs.
It's completely clean.
That's possible?
Where were you when I was explaining this?
If there's someone who thinks like me,
then it's possible!
What's the likelihood
of that being Wan-ho Jo?
How would I know?
Yes, he did have the motive to kill him.
His sister committed suicide
because of the victim.
The guy who jumped on Walnut and me,
I mean the girl.
She could have done that.
I know nothing about that!
That's when you come in
to take care of it.
Do whatever it takes!
Any news on Wan-ho Jo?
He's not home and I can't reach him.
Leave it for now and do the rest tomorrow.
Sweep up his workplace, too.
Okay.
He probably just ran off.
Is that all? What you just said?
Why didn't you tell Chief?
What's going to change if I tell her?
Nothing can be solved.
She doesn't know anything.
You are being rude to Chief!
You son of a...
I was being too honest.
Let me ask you just one favor.
You have to trust me
as much as I trust you.
I do trust you.
You have been a veteran for over ten,
no, 20 years, Detective Bae.
You are acting like
a different person today!
A different person?
It's me. It is.
Detective Bae said something
really useful.
Trust.
Trust is good, of course.
So why can't you trust me
when I trust you this much?
How can you not trust yourself?
When I'm trying this hard
to help you solve the difficult case?
I didn't tell Detective Bae
about the Charles Bonnet Syndrome.
He won't know what it is
even if I tell him anyway.
I'm not sure who it is,
but he's similar to us.
It means the person is too much
for Mr. Bae to handle.
This person, I would say
that he is a genius
and he is an excellent artist.
It's pretty impressive,
to an extent that I can't even imagine.
How do you feel?
Don't you get this urge
to compete against him?
Let me tell you one last thing.
You and I are not
in a simple relationship.
Not even one
that's beneficial for both of us.
I'm making you stronger.
You're going to be so grateful in the end.
I'm exhausted. I worked too hard today.
I'm going to go to bed now. Good night.
It's morning for you, right?
Good morning!
SEOUL POLICE DOESN'T ACCEPT FAVORS
Did you stay up all night?
Why do you ask?
Why?
I found it.
It's the sign for Jayang-dong Magnum gang.
They were very active last year,
until they had a fight and disbanded.
So they were trying
to compensate for that then.
Three years ago, there were three guys
who were arrested by Gangdong police,
and one of them was the guy
in the surveillance camera.
Dong-seok Choo, 36 years old.
He has that evil look on his face.
So the homeless man Chang-hyun Ahn's case
is shaping up to be a murder.
Detective Lee called and said
she's chasing after the suspect.
Do we know his motives?
Well, she said the gang might have tried
to get people's bios for fake accounts.
But we'll know when we catch the suspect.
Anyway, no one is going to pick up
the body
so we have to send it over
to the center. It's a bit sad.
Chief!
A guy came to pick up
Chang-hyun Ahn's body.
Who is it?
He said they're not related,
but he was a close friend of his.
ACCEPTANCE DOCUMENT FOR BODY OF DECEASED
So after you complete it,
you see that highlighted part
at the bottom, right?
Just put your signature there.
Darn it! Why do I keep hitting the side?
What a positive attitude to have
in an indoor driving range?
Who are you?
You don't seem like the cop I've met.
Where are you from?
Not from Gangdong police,
not from the local station,
but from the regional investigation unit.
Why would you want to see me?
I'm a retired gangster, thanks to you.
You know him, right?
Yes.
And you went to the shelter
to meet him, correct?
We had some unfinished business.
That was it.
So you could get him to give up his body?
What? No way. This is the 21st century.
It wasn't even that much.
It's only about three or four million won.
Didn't you start a business
after your gang split up?
Buying homeless people's bio
for a cheap price.
But you were dissatisfied
so you killed him.
You're not making any sense.
Look up his bio and check.
See if I stole it or not!
Okay! That's enough for today.
Don't be so arrogant.
Look.
Nice shot!
Go ahead. Keep practicing.
I know both of them.
They both had subacute combined
degeneration of the spinal cord.
It's extremely rare,
and I happened to treat them both.
Sung-wook Jin had a lot of gray hair.
That is a related symptom, right?
Yes, it's pretty rare
but it produces a lot of gray hair
and sometimes, completely white.
Chang-hyun Ahn had it due to gastrectomy.
So what was Sung-wook Jin's cause?
Sung-wook Jin had severe malnutrition
since he was young.
I think that led to pernicious anemia.
Unfortunately, both of them
were treated late,
so their conditions are pretty bad.
Are they both still getting treatments?
No. Just Sung-wook Jin.
Chang-hyun Ahn seemed
to be struggling financially.
Are those two close?
Yes. Maybe because of their rare diseases,
they became good friends.
Right. I think Chang-hyun Ahn
annoyed Sung-wook Jin for a bit.
Annoyed?
Yes.
Please. Let me in on it.
How many times did I tell you? I can't.
Please save me.
Please.
It's not going to save you.
You can die from it.
It can't save him but it can kill him.
What does that mean?
I'm not sure. I don't really know
that much about it.
Yes? It's open!
My legs don't function very well.
I had polio when I was young,
so I couldn't use my legs.
It's not that bad,
I've gotten used to it for 20 years.
How about your parents?
My mom
left my brother and I
in front of an orphanage.
My brother was six and I was a baby.
He said he remembers some of it,
but I don't remember anything.
We were scared
that we would get adopted separately,
so my brother took me
and ran away from the orphanage.
Since then,
my brother lived for me.
He did everything
to feed me.
Thank you!
He always fed me,
and let himself starve.
And then,
he got a terrible disease,
because of me.
Back then, he was struggling to feed me,
and now he's struggling to pay
for my hospital bill.
Who are you?
-Get out! Get out of my house!
-Don't push me!
I just have a few things to ask
about Chang-hyun Ahn!
I told you.
He was a close friend and we struggled
with the same disease,
so I took care of his body.
Is that a problem?
It's not a problem.
I don't know anything,
so don't ever come back.
Watch out!
What in the world? Hey! Who are you?
Hey! You almost killed me!
I'm going to report this.
-Dr. Joo.
-Yes.
Can you analyze this saliva?
I'll do it right away.
Did you ask for me?
Why is it taking so long?
Is there a problem?
Not at all.
I'll have it ready by tomorrow.
You're so darn slow. You can go now.
Let's increase the amount this time.
It's no fun.
Goodness.
It seems like you're full from getting
DK Chemical through M&A.
Gambling.
It's gambling.
What's the relationship
between gambling and homeless people?
That part is unclear.
Gambling and homeless.
They said they're setting it up tomorrow,
so tell the guys
to follow up on Dong-seok Choo.
Okay.
You really look like an Iranian woman.
-You look like a Saudi...
-Keep it down!
prince.
Hello.
Wan-ho Jo.
I think he ran off.
I can't find him anywhere.
JOO-HYUNG YANG AUTOPSY REPORT
FIND STAFF
JIN-WOO HAN
BACKGROUND CHECK
I'll be going crazy!
-Why did you just call?
-Come see this, Dr. Han.
Someone hacked into our database
last night.
-What?
-But Chief doesn't know yet.
Isn't it DDOS?
No. This creep is putting up
a fight with me.
-My goodness.
-Dr. Han!
Here's the analysis
on Sung-wook Jin's saliva.
Other than his medicines,
I found a small amount of parathion.
The amount is not harmful to him.
Dr. Han, how did you know?
It's because of his lips.
It wasn't as bad as the victim's,
but his lips were a bit white as well.
So this guy ate pesticide, too?
He might not have eaten it,
but he was exposed to it.
He could have used a cup
or a container that had pesticide.
Could it be that they both
tried to kill themselves,
but Chang-hyun Ahn ended up dying alone?
No. Sung-wook Jin
would never kill himself,
because of his sister.
Detective Bae.
What did you mean when you said the victim
may be related to gambling?
We'll find out for sure
when we deal with the gambling house.
Gambling, gang, pesticide,
homeless people.
I can't really see the connection.
They do seem completely unrelated
in some way.
Hold on.
Let's go together,
in case something happens
with the pesticide.
There may be another victim.
You seem normal today.
You seemed like a psycho
a couple days ago.
Aren't you curious about Wan-ho Jo's case?
Detective Bae.
Let's talk about that case
after we are done with this one.
Is everything okay?
I'm fine. Let's go.
65,900,000 SEONGNAM
Sung-wook.
Where did you get all this money?
Sung-hee.
I am
going to quit everything today.
Do you want to go back to our hometown?
We don't even know where that is.
We can just make one.
Let's go to Jecheon, near the lake.
The air there is nice
and there's a hospital nearby.
Let's leave tomorrow.
Sung-wook.
It's just that today...
I just
have to do it for one more day.
He just left his house.
He's loading up his van
with homeless people.
Okay. Got it.
It's an abandoned building in Yongin.
Request for backup
-and tell Walnut to be there.
-Yes.
Is Sung-wook Jin there?
Yes.
All right. Get off.
Go up.
I never lie.
The last person gets the whole thing.
All of this.
All right, then.
Here we go.
Are you not going to drink it?
Darn, that guy in the sweat suit looked
like he would survive the longest.
Goodness. It's taking so long.
I can't wait for that long.
Then bet on your car.
What? I just got that yesterday.
You know how much the delivery costs?
Hey, they're starting again.
This is it.
-Search the building.
-Yes, sir.
Why isn't anyone here?
Nothing is on that side as well.
I think there's a secret exit.
I found an emergency exit at the back!
You've got to be kidding me!
Hey, what did I tell you?
The luck stays with one person.
I'm going with the guy with the cap again.
I'll go with the other one.
I'm telling you.
The guy with the cap has all the luck!
Whatever.
What is that?
Dong-seok Choo!
What are you doing?
Who are you? What are you doing right now?
I think he's poisoned!
-Bring him to me.
-Yes.
What on earth are you doing?
He'll die if we don't clean his stomach!
Call 911! Now!
-You crazy jerks! I'll kill you!
-Detective Bae! Stop! Please!
-Who are you? Do you know who we are?
-Stop it!
I don't care, you jerk!
Do you want to lose your job?
Go ahead! Try it!
Why are you wasting time? Let's just go.
You jerks!
My luck
ran out today.
I think that luck
was from God,
because He felt sorry for me.
I never had
such luck,
or happiness.
So I think I got it all at once this time.
I was holding up well.
Today was the last day
I had to bear with it.
Weren't you scared?
Not at all.
At some point, there was nothing
that I was afraid of.
Strangely enough.
Why did Chang-hyun Ahn do it with you?
How did you know I was here?
I know this is where you're making money.
Whatever it is, let me in on it.
I can't.
Sung-wook,
it's
too painful.
I have to go to the hospital,
and I have nothing to eat.
Still, I can't.
Never!
Sung-wook!
That jerk
got Chang-hyun into it.
I had no idea.
When he was there,
it was too late for me to do anything.
Can I ask you a favor?
I will
send your sister to a good institution,
and make sure she gets treated.
And I'll take care of her as well.
I promise.
I thought my luck ran out,
but my last ounce of luck
was you.
I think I know how it feels
to be afraid of something again.
It's leaving
Sung-hee alone
when I die before her.
BODY ABANDONMENT MEMORANDUM
You made the homeless give up their lives
by telling them you'll give them money.
You got a whole list.
What did you do with all of these people?
What is that?
I don't remember anything like that.
You threw away their bodies to make it
difficult to identify them, didn't you?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Shut up! Sung-wook Jin
already confessed everything!
You think homeless people are ants
on the streets or something?
It's not like we had them do it
for nothing!
We rewarded them well enough!
Shut your mouth, you jerk!
We were just watching them,
so how are we guilty?
You think rich kids are born
with special exemptions, don't you?
Let's just follow the law
like how you guys do.
That will be the judge.
Why are the lawyers still not here?
Are they sleeping or something?
Sorry for yelling at you.
I thought you guys were humans.
Poor children.
I didn't know you were crazy psychopaths.
Poor people.
You idiots.
Weren't you scared?
Not at all.
At some point, there was nothing
that I was afraid of.
Strangely enough.
Sung-wook Jin didn't have any fear at all.
But even if you are that brave,
you can't be that calm in situations
where you're risking your life.
It seemed too strange,
so I looked into his brain
after we were done with the autopsy.
Was there another problem in his brain?
Yes.
It was synapse.
So that means there was a problem
in the connection area?
Oh, right.
That's what controls your fear.
Sung-wook Jin had a problem
in his cerebrum because of his disease,
affecting the synapse and not letting him
feel fear which is extremely rare.
If he wasn't sick, he wouldn't have risked
his life like that.
Basically, his unfortunate childhood
led him to die.
Hello.
Excuse me.
May I take a look at your bag?
Hello, Detective Bae.
Hey.
Hey, you!
Come back down! Right now!
You punk!
What the...
What happened?
Can't you tell?
It's an honor
to have met you.
What is he saying?
Hey!
What about the body in the bag?
A 42-year-old male named Kyo-chul Kim.
He was related to Joo-hyung Yang's case.
So he took revenge on him
and Joo-hyung Yang for his sister?
The cause of death
was falling...
Chief.
Let's do a thorough examination
of his brain.
His synapse structure is cut off.
Sung-wook Jin's was like that
due to his disease,
but this was done by someone on purpose.
And
he was trying to mess up the neuron
in his brain
through an ultrahigh frequency
to hide the artificial structure
of the synapse.
Who?
Who would do that?
ONE NEW MESSAGE
UNKNOWN CALLER
It's an honor to have met you!
It's an honor
to have met you.
Come on, quickly.
Okay!
Goodness.
We got a handsome man right here.
How did you find out about us?
I saw your phone number
at the hospital bathroom.
All right.
Why do you need money?
For school tuition fees.
It's my last semester,
and I can't afford the tuition.
Goodness. You're selling your kidney
for tuition fees?
You're going to become successful
in the future!
You're really giving me
ten million won, right?
Of course, kid!
We're not going to take
someone's kidney for free!
Goodness! We have
a healthy customer this time!
All right. Come this way.
Wait.
Let me put my bag down.
Sure, go ahead.
That will be more comfortable.
We got four bodies in
and their brains are missing.
No brains?
How can they all die so neatly like that?
No one actually knows who it is!
His username is Phantom.
Get lost!
Why didn't you tell me?
Does Dr. Han have a problem
that I don't know about?
I think the schizophrenia started
as we expected.
It's like a time bomb and we don't know
when it will explode.
Jin-woo! He's calling you!
Not me. He wants you!
Tell him to rest in peace.
People can still hear
the message of condolences,
right after they die.

EPISODE 10
You explain first.
What is this about?
Go ahead and explain!
What about him?
What about him?
I told you I almost died
trying to catch him!
What are you hiding from me?
I'll tell you later.
Later? There is no later!
I have nothing to tell you!
I need to get my thoughts straight first,
so stop yelling at me
and give me some time to do that.
Fine.
I'll give you time.
Just one day.
You better get things organized
well enough
for a fool like me
to understand it clearly, all right?
Dr. Han!
What?
It's Wan-ho Jo's past medical records
that you asked for.
Medical records?
Yes.
Oh, I forgot. The medical records.
Something is up with this guy, right?
You've got to tell me now.
Please.
I don't know either.
Dr. Han, Dr. Han.
I'm so curious! Come on, Dr. Han.
Chang-hyun Ahn, 38 years old. Unemployed.
He died at Dooyang Park two mornings ago
while sleeping.
The cause of death
was parathion addiction.
He mixed it with alcohol and drank it.
Parathion?
Isn't that
one of the strongest pesticides?
It was used during the time of Hitler.
It was banned because it was too toxic,
killing too many people.
It messes up
all living organisms' endocrine systems.
If poisoned, it's extremely painful,
so it has been replaced with methyl
parathion or other weaker pesticides.
He was in the center of Seoul,
not in a rural town,
and he killed himself with pesticide?
We don't know yet if he killed himself.
But there weren't any signs
of alcohol or pesticide
at the place he was found.
Does he have a family?
Not at all.
He's not married and he doesn't have
any parents or siblings.
But
it's rare to do a meticulous autopsy
of a homeless person.
A person like this is usually considered
as a nomad
and is often cremated right away.
When the body was found,
a doctor happened to be there
while doing his morning exercise.
He checked his condition and reported
the cause of death as poisoning.
So the doctor brought him here.
Why was he brought to us?
A strange condition was found
through the first round of autopsy.
Not only did the peripheral nerves
and cerebrum have problems,
but the optic nerve
had severe contraction as well.
Was it not due to pesticides?
It may have been, but some things
are not related to parathion.
Of course.
You never say anything wrong, Dr. Han.
So they want us to check the possibility
of a rare disease
and determine
if it was suicide or not, correct?
I'm looking into his past medical records,
so we should find out soon.
All right. Let's get started.
Okay.
Just like the preliminary autopsy,
the cause of death
is parathion poisoning.
Endocrine systems are all melted down,
which led to seizure and shock.
And there are signs of gastrectomy
which was probably due to cancer.
There was a sign of glossitis as well,
but this has nothing to do with parathion.
But if the lips were white,
that proves it was parathion.
There are cerebrum
and spinal cord problems,
plus gastrectomy.
Then there's a high chance
of neurological disease, right?
His medical record is here.
Chang-hyun Ahn was...
Maybe
it was subacute combined
degeneration of the spinal cord?
Wasn't it?
You're right.
Schilling test, DTR acceleration
and Babinski's reflex
all came out positive.
Isn't that a rare disease
accompanied by pernicious anemia?
It is.
It's a degenerative disease
caused by lack of vitamin B12
from pernicious anemia.
The causes are gastrectomy
and malabsorption syndrome.
So the gastrectomy led to pernicious
anemia which then led to a disease?
So,
is his disease related
to his death or not?
As of now, it seems like it wasn't.
Then I'll find out if someone fed him,
or if he fed himself.
It's hot!
Hold on.
I was drunk as well,
so my memory is not very clear,
but someone carried him,
and threw him over here.
Did you see who it was?
Of course.
But I can't remember.
Detective Bae.
It is definitely a murder.
Here's a question.
Why was the body put here?
Someone knew that the homeless people
are taken care of quickly when they die.
Amazing. Exactly.
We don't know who it was,
but that person knew the victim
had no family or relatives.
So it wasn't supposed to be discovered...
But there was a doctor
when the body was found, unexpectedly.
Look into the people around him
and his past activities.
Okay.
-By the way, Ran Lee.
-Yes.
Sudden Manhood Death guy, Joo-hyung Yang's
and Wan-ho Jo's biographies...
Yes?
Did you give them to Dr. Han?
What?
Well...
Yes, I'm sorry.
Are you kidding me?
If this happens again,
I'm sending you back to accounting.
Understood, sir.
MEDICAL HISTORY
Wan-ho Jo.
Encephalocystomeningocele removal followed
by Charles Bonnet syndrome.
CHARLES BONNET SYNDROME:
IT CAUSES PEOPLE WHO’VE LOST
A LOT OF VISION TO SEE THINGS
THAT AREN’T REALLY THERE.
GL HOSPITAL NEUROSURGERY
He is Wan-ho Jo.
He was my patient last year.
So, according to his medical history,
the removal of encephalocystomeningocele
led to Charles Bonnet syndrome.
It wasn't a medical accident.
It occurred unexpectedly.
As you already know,
it was a very rare case.
Actually, it was my first time
seeing it as well.
What were the exact symptoms?
Due to the damage on his optic nerves,
he often experienced visual hallucination.
He struggled with perception
of space and object
which led him to have various phobias.
Isn't it impossible to behave normally
in such severe condition?
You're right.
It takes more than a couple of years
for treatment,
and it's hard to cure completely.
Detective Bae!
I went to the shelter
that Chang-hyun Ahn stayed at
and I was told he left the shelter
the day before he died.
The day before?
Yes. And someone visited him that day.
Who?
Fortunately, there was a surveillance
camera in the resting area.
Yes!
What an angle!
We can only see the back of his head.
Could it be someone who collects
the homeless' bios and sells them?
That is a probability.
Fake bank accounts or burner phones
are a huge trend for jerks
like these nowadays.
Zoom in on his neck.
Search for this tattoo. Start with gangs.
Okay.
Play it from here.
There's finally a face.
Darn, he even looks like a criminal.
I see who got caught.
Gosh!
Man.
You got lucky.
See you soon!
Stop!
What happened to you?
He came out of nowhere.
What kind of a punk was he?
It wasn't a man,
it was a woman.
A woman?
Then that was the person
who tried to hit me yesterday.
Give me what you have now.
Why are you so angry? Calm down.
Do you want an apple?
I don't feel like joking around.
Doo-min was in danger as well.
But in the end, you were both okay.
Isn't that enough?
You punk! Are you crazy?
Do I look crazy?
Darn! I'm not supposed to look like that!
Cut it out, you creep!
I did get my head straight,
so you should let go of me first.
I'm not the suspect, you know?
I'm sincerely asking.
Why did you look into Wan-ho Jo?
I'm asking with sincere reasons,
so don't try to lie to me.
It's not like you'll fall for it if I lie.
That's not how you are.
He looked suspicious to me
ever since I saw him.
His eyes and hands
were shaking abnormally.
In the eyes of the genius Dr. Han,
it looked like
he had neurological problems.
Of course, I don't exactly know
what that is.
But, it seemed like
he was trying to hold it in.
He looked like he was sad.
His mental and physical state
seemed disconnected.
Well,
it's nothing scientific.
Just my instinct.
Just like yours, Detective Bae.
Ever since I saw him,
he looked fake to me.
So I wondered if he had an illness,
or if he had gone crazy. I was curious.
So, I looked at his medical history
and that's why I had asked for his bio.
From Ran Lee, who's beautiful
without her glasses.
But there was nothing.
Oh, right.
He had a simple brain surgery.
Then why did you say Joo-hyung Yang
might have died due to torture?
Oh, that.
That's...
That's going to be too complex
for you to understand.
Do you still want me to tell you?
Stop joking around and tell me.
Okay.
His forehead had burns
and his chest had bruises.
If you go straight down from here,
the burn points to the brain stem
and the bruise points to the ventricle.
Let me explain the burn.
You know microwave, right?
Microwave uses ultrasonic waves
which shakes water particles like this.
Just like that, by using
an ultrasonic wave scalpel,
you can send the ultrasonic wave
exactly to where you want it.
Then the brain stem vibrates,
which puts the entire
nervous system in pain.
About the bruise,
ultrahigh frequency stimulates
the ventricle
and puts pressure to the heart.
This is extremely painful as well.
Both of these methods
only leave small physical marks
and no internal signs.
It's completely clean.
That's possible?
Where were you when I was explaining this?
If there's someone who thinks like me,
then it's possible!
What's the likelihood
of that being Wan-ho Jo?
How would I know?
Yes, he did have the motive to kill him.
His sister committed suicide
because of the victim.
The guy who jumped on Walnut and me,
I mean the girl.
She could have done that.
I know nothing about that!
That's when you come in
to take care of it.
Do whatever it takes!
Any news on Wan-ho Jo?
He's not home and I can't reach him.
Leave it for now and do the rest tomorrow.
Sweep up his workplace, too.
Okay.
He probably just ran off.
Is that all? What you just said?
Why didn't you tell Chief?
What's going to change if I tell her?
Nothing can be solved.
She doesn't know anything.
You are being rude to Chief!
You son of a...
I was being too honest.
Let me ask you just one favor.
You have to trust me
as much as I trust you.
I do trust you.
You have been a veteran for over ten,
no, 20 years, Detective Bae.
You are acting like
a different person today!
A different person?
It's me. It is.
Detective Bae said something
really useful.
Trust.
Trust is good, of course.
So why can't you trust me
when I trust you this much?
How can you not trust yourself?
When I'm trying this hard
to help you solve the difficult case?
I didn't tell Detective Bae
about the Charles Bonnet Syndrome.
He won't know what it is
even if I tell him anyway.
I'm not sure who it is,
but he's similar to us.
It means the person is too much
for Mr. Bae to handle.
This person, I would say
that he is a genius
and he is an excellent artist.
It's pretty impressive,
to an extent that I can't even imagine.
How do you feel?
Don't you get this urge
to compete against him?
Let me tell you one last thing.
You and I are not
in a simple relationship.
Not even one
that's beneficial for both of us.
I'm making you stronger.
You're going to be so grateful in the end.
I'm exhausted. I worked too hard today.
I'm going to go to bed now. Good night.
It's morning for you, right?
Good morning!
SEOUL POLICE DOESN'T ACCEPT FAVORS
Did you stay up all night?
Why do you ask?
Why?
I found it.
It's the sign for Jayang-dong Magnum gang.
They were very active last year,
until they had a fight and disbanded.
So they were trying
to compensate for that then.
Three years ago, there were three guys
who were arrested by Gangdong police,
and one of them was the guy
in the surveillance camera.
Dong-seok Choo, 36 years old.
He has that evil look on his face.
So the homeless man Chang-hyun Ahn's case
is shaping up to be a murder.
Detective Lee called and said
she's chasing after the suspect.
Do we know his motives?
Well, she said the gang might have tried
to get people's bios for fake accounts.
But we'll know when we catch the suspect.
Anyway, no one is going to pick up
the body
so we have to send it over
to the center. It's a bit sad.
Chief!
A guy came to pick up
Chang-hyun Ahn's body.
Who is it?
He said they're not related,
but he was a close friend of his.
ACCEPTANCE DOCUMENT FOR BODY OF DECEASED
So after you complete it,
you see that highlighted part
at the bottom, right?
Just put your signature there.
Darn it! Why do I keep hitting the side?
What a positive attitude to have
in an indoor driving range?
Who are you?
You don't seem like the cop I've met.
Where are you from?
Not from Gangdong police,
not from the local station,
but from the regional investigation unit.
Why would you want to see me?
I'm a retired gangster, thanks to you.
You know him, right?
Yes.
And you went to the shelter
to meet him, correct?
We had some unfinished business.
That was it.
So you could get him to give up his body?
What? No way. This is the 21st century.
It wasn't even that much.
It's only about three or four million won.
Didn't you start a business
after your gang split up?
Buying homeless people's bio
for a cheap price.
But you were dissatisfied
so you killed him.
You're not making any sense.
Look up his bio and check.
See if I stole it or not!
Okay! That's enough for today.
Don't be so arrogant.
Look.
Nice shot!
Go ahead. Keep practicing.
I know both of them.
They both had subacute combined
degeneration of the spinal cord.
It's extremely rare,
and I happened to treat them both.
Sung-wook Jin had a lot of gray hair.
That is a related symptom, right?
Yes, it's pretty rare
but it produces a lot of gray hair
and sometimes, completely white.
Chang-hyun Ahn had it due to gastrectomy.
So what was Sung-wook Jin's cause?
Sung-wook Jin had severe malnutrition
since he was young.
I think that led to pernicious anemia.
Unfortunately, both of them
were treated late,
so their conditions are pretty bad.
Are they both still getting treatments?
No. Just Sung-wook Jin.
Chang-hyun Ahn seemed
to be struggling financially.
Are those two close?
Yes. Maybe because of their rare diseases,
they became good friends.
Right. I think Chang-hyun Ahn
annoyed Sung-wook Jin for a bit.
Annoyed?
Yes.
Please. Let me in on it.
How many times did I tell you? I can't.
Please save me.
Please.
It's not going to save you.
You can die from it.
It can't save him but it can kill him.
What does that mean?
I'm not sure. I don't really know
that much about it.
Yes? It's open!
My legs don't function very well.
I had polio when I was young,
so I couldn't use my legs.
It's not that bad,
I've gotten used to it for 20 years.
How about your parents?
My mom
left my brother and I
in front of an orphanage.
My brother was six and I was a baby.
He said he remembers some of it,
but I don't remember anything.
We were scared
that we would get adopted separately,
so my brother took me
and ran away from the orphanage.
Since then,
my brother lived for me.
He did everything
to feed me.
Thank you!
He always fed me,
and let himself starve.
And then,
he got a terrible disease,
because of me.
Back then, he was struggling to feed me,
and now he's struggling to pay
for my hospital bill.
Who are you?
-Get out! Get out of my house!
-Don't push me!
I just have a few things to ask
about Chang-hyun Ahn!
I told you.
He was a close friend and we struggled
with the same disease,
so I took care of his body.
Is that a problem?
It's not a problem.
I don't know anything,
so don't ever come back.
Watch out!
What in the world? Hey! Who are you?
Hey! You almost killed me!
I'm going to report this.
-Dr. Joo.
-Yes.
Can you analyze this saliva?
I'll do it right away.
Did you ask for me?
Why is it taking so long?
Is there a problem?
Not at all.
I'll have it ready by tomorrow.
You're so darn slow. You can go now.
Let's increase the amount this time.
It's no fun.
Goodness.
It seems like you're full from getting
DK Chemical through M&A.
Gambling.
It's gambling.
What's the relationship
between gambling and homeless people?
That part is unclear.
Gambling and homeless.
They said they're setting it up tomorrow,
so tell the guys
to follow up on Dong-seok Choo.
Okay.
You really look like an Iranian woman.
-You look like a Saudi...
-Keep it down!
prince.
Hello.
Wan-ho Jo.
I think he ran off.
I can't find him anywhere.
JOO-HYUNG YANG AUTOPSY REPORT
FIND STAFF
JIN-WOO HAN
BACKGROUND CHECK
I'll be going crazy!
-Why did you just call?
-Come see this, Dr. Han.
Someone hacked into our database
last night.
-What?
-But Chief doesn't know yet.
Isn't it DDOS?
No. This creep is putting up
a fight with me.
-My goodness.
-Dr. Han!
Here's the analysis
on Sung-wook Jin's saliva.
Other than his medicines,
I found a small amount of parathion.
The amount is not harmful to him.
Dr. Han, how did you know?
It's because of his lips.
It wasn't as bad as the victim's,
but his lips were a bit white as well.
So this guy ate pesticide, too?
He might not have eaten it,
but he was exposed to it.
He could have used a cup
or a container that had pesticide.
Could it be that they both
tried to kill themselves,
but Chang-hyun Ahn ended up dying alone?
No. Sung-wook Jin
would never kill himself,
because of his sister.
Detective Bae.
What did you mean when you said the victim
may be related to gambling?
We'll find out for sure
when we deal with the gambling house.
Gambling, gang, pesticide,
homeless people.
I can't really see the connection.
They do seem completely unrelated
in some way.
Hold on.
Let's go together,
in case something happens
with the pesticide.
There may be another victim.
You seem normal today.
You seemed like a psycho
a couple days ago.
Aren't you curious about Wan-ho Jo's case?
Detective Bae.
Let's talk about that case
after we are done with this one.
Is everything okay?
I'm fine. Let's go.
65,900,000 SEONGNAM
Sung-wook.
Where did you get all this money?
Sung-hee.
I am
going to quit everything today.
Do you want to go back to our hometown?
We don't even know where that is.
We can just make one.
Let's go to Jecheon, near the lake.
The air there is nice
and there's a hospital nearby.
Let's leave tomorrow.
Sung-wook.
It's just that today...
I just
have to do it for one more day.
He just left his house.
He's loading up his van
with homeless people.
Okay. Got it.
It's an abandoned building in Yongin.
Request for backup
-and tell Walnut to be there.
-Yes.
Is Sung-wook Jin there?
Yes.
All right. Get off.
Go up.
I never lie.
The last person gets the whole thing.
All of this.
All right, then.
Here we go.
Are you not going to drink it?
Darn, that guy in the sweat suit looked
like he would survive the longest.
Goodness. It's taking so long.
I can't wait for that long.
Then bet on your car.
What? I just got that yesterday.
You know how much the delivery costs?
Hey, they're starting again.
This is it.
-Search the building.
-Yes, sir.
Why isn't anyone here?
Nothing is on that side as well.
I think there's a secret exit.
I found an emergency exit at the back!
You've got to be kidding me!
Hey, what did I tell you?
The luck stays with one person.
I'm going with the guy with the cap again.
I'll go with the other one.
I'm telling you.
The guy with the cap has all the luck!
Whatever.
What is that?
Dong-seok Choo!
What are you doing?
Who are you? What are you doing right now?
I think he's poisoned!
-Bring him to me.
-Yes.
What on earth are you doing?
He'll die if we don't clean his stomach!
Call 911! Now!
-You crazy jerks! I'll kill you!
-Detective Bae! Stop! Please!
-Who are you? Do you know who we are?
-Stop it!
I don't care, you jerk!
Do you want to lose your job?
Go ahead! Try it!
Why are you wasting time? Let's just go.
You jerks!
My luck
ran out today.
I think that luck
was from God,
because He felt sorry for me.
I never had
such luck,
or happiness.
So I think I got it all at once this time.
I was holding up well.
Today was the last day
I had to bear with it.
Weren't you scared?
Not at all.
At some point, there was nothing
that I was afraid of.
Strangely enough.
Why did Chang-hyun Ahn do it with you?
How did you know I was here?
I know this is where you're making money.
Whatever it is, let me in on it.
I can't.
Sung-wook,
it's
too painful.
I have to go to the hospital,
and I have nothing to eat.
Still, I can't.
Never!
Sung-wook!
That jerk
got Chang-hyun into it.
I had no idea.
When he was there,
it was too late for me to do anything.
Can I ask you a favor?
I will
send your sister to a good institution,
and make sure she gets treated.
And I'll take care of her as well.
I promise.
I thought my luck ran out,
but my last ounce of luck
was you.
I think I know how it feels
to be afraid of something again.
It's leaving
Sung-hee alone
when I die before her.
BODY ABANDONMENT MEMORANDUM
You made the homeless give up their lives
by telling them you'll give them money.
You got a whole list.
What did you do with all of these people?
What is that?
I don't remember anything like that.
You threw away their bodies to make it
difficult to identify them, didn't you?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Shut up! Sung-wook Jin
already confessed everything!
You think homeless people are ants
on the streets or something?
It's not like we had them do it
for nothing!
We rewarded them well enough!
Shut your mouth, you jerk!
We were just watching them,
so how are we guilty?
You think rich kids are born
with special exemptions, don't you?
Let's just follow the law
like how you guys do.
That will be the judge.
Why are the lawyers still not here?
Are they sleeping or something?
Sorry for yelling at you.
I thought you guys were humans.
Poor children.
I didn't know you were crazy psychopaths.
Poor people.
You idiots.
Weren't you scared?
Not at all.
At some point, there was nothing
that I was afraid of.
Strangely enough.
Sung-wook Jin didn't have any fear at all.
But even if you are that brave,
you can't be that calm in situations
where you're risking your life.
It seemed too strange,
so I looked into his brain
after we were done with the autopsy.
Was there another problem in his brain?
Yes.
It was synapse.
So that means there was a problem
in the connection area?
Oh, right.
That's what controls your fear.
Sung-wook Jin had a problem
in his cerebrum because of his disease,
affecting the synapse and not letting him
feel fear which is extremely rare.
If he wasn't sick, he wouldn't have risked
his life like that.
Basically, his unfortunate childhood
led him to die.
Hello.
Excuse me.
May I take a look at your bag?
Hello, Detective Bae.
Hey.
Hey, you!
Come back down! Right now!
You punk!
What the...
What happened?
Can't you tell?
It's an honor
to have met you.
What is he saying?
Hey!
What about the body in the bag?
A 42-year-old male named Kyo-chul Kim.
He was related to Joo-hyung Yang's case.
So he took revenge on him
and Joo-hyung Yang for his sister?
The cause of death
was falling...
Chief.
Let's do a thorough examination
of his brain.
His synapse structure is cut off.
Sung-wook Jin's was like that
due to his disease,
but this was done by someone on purpose.
And
he was trying to mess up the neuron
in his brain
through an ultrahigh frequency
to hide the artificial structure
of the synapse.
Who?
Who would do that?
ONE NEW MESSAGE
UNKNOWN CALLER
It's an honor to have met you!
It's an honor
to have met you.
Come on, quickly.
Okay!
Goodness.
We got a handsome man right here.
How did you find out about us?
I saw your phone number
at the hospital bathroom.
All right.
Why do you need money?
For school tuition fees.
It's my last semester,
and I can't afford the tuition.
Goodness. You're selling your kidney
for tuition fees?
You're going to become successful
in the future!
You're really giving me
ten million won, right?
Of course, kid!
We're not going to take
someone's kidney for free!
Goodness! We have
a healthy customer this time!
All right. Come this way.
Wait.
Let me put my bag down.
Sure, go ahead.
That will be more comfortable.
We got four bodies in
and their brains are missing.
No brains?
How can they all die so neatly like that?
No one actually knows who it is!
His username is Phantom.
Get lost!
Why didn't you tell me?
Does Dr. Han have a problem
that I don't know about?
I think the schizophrenia started
as we expected.
It's like a time bomb and we don't know
when it will explode.
Jin-woo! He's calling you!
Not me. He wants you!
Tell him to rest in peace.
People can still hear
the message of condolences,
right after they die.
