EPISODE 2
THE MOST BRILLIANT MOMENT

Get ready.

I'll glue myself to you

and chew you to pieces.

I can't believe this.

Look, I'm too ignorant to know

if I've hindered the advancement
of Korean neuroscience.

But listen, Dr. Shin,

why do you keep calling it nonsense?

It's a fact, isn't it?

Every news outlet is saying
you forged the consent form

and were kicked out of the lab for it.

I'm really sorry.

I should've gotten here sooner
to introduce you to each other.

-Forget it.
-No need.

You two have met, haven't you?

Yes, we have,

which is why we can't work with him.

He just threatened me.

He said my tip-off ruined his life

and that he'd chew me to pieces.

Detective.

Are you saying I said that?

The detective was just
calling me an ousted doctor,

pouring salt

upon my wounded heart.

No way.

That switch-up was freaky!

Detective Geum.

I think you were too harsh.

Okay, fine, whatever.

But we can't have a consultant
that's been dismissed on ethical grounds.

I'll talk to the subsection chief...

He gave the go-ahead.

He did?

That fool.

Okay, so...

You came over yourself
and offered to be our consultant.

We're grateful for your offer.

But the thing is...

Oh my, you look much nicer in real life
than on television.

I saw you on that program.

What's that TV show called?

Time to Change Space.

Oh, yes. TCS.

We'd love the help of such a star,

but the deceased was a celebrity,

and his fans and the media
are watching us like hawks.

Your recent escapades weren't exactly...

Are you aware

that you're committing a type one error?

What?

You shouldn't be
collecting evidence for a simulation.

Kim Jae-won's wife...

is not the culprit.

What proves Ms. Jeong In-yeong
isn't the culprit?

Why should I tell you?

-You said you wanted to cooperate.
-And you said no.

Are you serious?

You're bluffing, aren't you?

Are you misleading us
just to mess with me?

Hey, you glanced at the top right corner.
Based on neuroscience, you're lying.

You look to the left when you lie.

Oh, boy.

My heart goes out to you.

The man you have on this important team

isn't capable of scientific thinking,
rational judgment, or logical deduction.

-Where were you before?
-Major Crimes?

You're aided by an irrational idiot
from the Major Crimes unit, which means...

-Which means?
-You're done for.

Captain.

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

I apologize, Detective Geum.

Don't let it get to you.

I'll be the brilliant
and cost-effective team member you want.

I'll make your team shine.

I'm talking productive, interesting,
and honorable investigations.

Are you ready to begin?

-Yes!
-What's going on?

Are you a cult leader? Or a hustler?

Detective Geum,
how about we have a team dinner?

You two seem to have a misunderstanding.

Why not talk it out over a few drinks
and get to know each other?

I have just one shot of malt whiskey
on Saturdays.

You have such great self-control.

I see there's a reason for your success.

What success? His career is in the gutter.

We'll begin the investigation tomorrow.

Is that it?

Yes, this is what we have
on the case so far.

KIM JAE-WON m*rder CASE REPORT

First, bring Ms. Jeong
back in for questioning.

I'll text you what I need.
Check your messages regularly.

Now if you'll excuse me.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Did he just give us orders? Unbelievable.

Captain, are you going to let him do that?

Detective Geum.

You know the subsection chief
hates me, right?

What?

Why are you suddenly bringing that up?

I want to do a good job leading this team

so I can break
the subsection chief's prejudice.

And I want to solve the case
to bring the truth to light.

In order to do that,
I really need Dr. Shin's help.

I'm sorry, but I ask for your cooperation.

I...

Okay.

I got stung badly.

It's as if he has a split personality
or something.

So? You have multiple personalities.

Hey, I don't have...

You're saying that because
you've never met someone like that.

They change their tune in your face
without batting an eyelash.

As your generation would say,
it's mad freaky, okay?

-Is this him?
-Yes.

He's so freaking handsome.

My gosh.

I've told you countless times already

that a man's looks aren't everything.

I should put this photo up on my wall.

I'm getting stressed out.

Don't you dare do that.

Or maybe I should
get it tattooed on my arm.

Give me that.

What? Why?

Hand over your phone.

Didn't you say you'd use it
just three hours a day?

Yet you stare at it all day long,
even now at the dinner table.

That didn't upset you before.

You're just mad I sided with him.

Yes, I am.

If you defend him again,
you lose your phone, okay?

Let's eat.

m*rder OF GENIUS GUITARIST KIM JAE-WON

FIVE MYSTERIES SURROUNDING KIM'S m*rder

Put the tablet down
at least while you eat.

Why do you come over so often?

Wouldn't you be worried if you were me?

You abruptly chose
to consult for the police.

It's odd behavior.

The media's all over this case.

Isn't it the perfect chance
to restore my reputation?

I could even get social justice
by teaching the detective a lesson.

How would you do that?

Being around me makes everyone miserable.

They all say
working with me is utterly draining.

Is that all?

Of course not.

I've got something on him.

My fingers are cramping from counting.

-Bring 50,000-won bills next time. Got it?
-Yes, sir.

You have no idea how temperamental he is!

What the...

My gosh.

He's a dirty cop.

I'll get enough evidence to humiliate him

and then get him dismissed.

I can bring social justice
and get my revenge too.

I'll k*ll two birds with one stone.

I see.

-Investigate!
-Investigate!

Investigate Kim Jae-won's
m*rder case thoroughly!

-Investigate!
-Investigate!

-Investigate!
-Investigate!

We urge you to investigate Jeong In-yeong!

-We urge you to investigate!
-We urge you to investigate!

-Investigate Kim Jae-won's...
-You're stealing taxpayers' money.

m*rder case thoroughly!

-Investigate!
-Investigate!

Come on. My day is just starting.

Why are you attacking me already?

You live off taxpayers' hard-earned money.

-How can you smoke during work hours?
-We urge you to investigate!

Look over there.

His fans desperately want the case
to wrap up as quickly as possible.

-Can't you see that?
-Investigate!

Listen, Dr. Brain.

My brain doesn't function
if I don't smoke after a meal.

You should've smoked before work.

Is this how you're going to t*rture me?

You know what? Forget it.

I won't smoke it. You're so petty.

It won't be easy.

Your nicotine-craving brain
will desperately want it.

Come on. Don't be so immature.

You choose. Either hang up your badge

or endure my immaturity.

You leave me no choice.

I'm good at enduring things.
Patience is in my DNA.

Let me buy you lunch as a show of support.

You choose. Korean food,
Chinese food, or Western food?

What do you want?

What's with the random segue?

Just pick one.

I don't know. Chinese?

Choose one.

Black bean noodles,
spicy noodles, or fried rice?

That restaurant
has good black bean noodles.

But I'm also craving some spicy broth.

I need to cure my hangover,
so I choose spicy noodles.

Choose one. Clear broth or red broth?

I'm not sure.
Spicy noodles with clear broth?

You know what?

Those noodles are best with red broth.
I pick red broth.

Choose one. Seafood or beef brisket?

I'm not sure. I like both. Beef brisket?

Choose one.

Noodles made by Lee Yeon-bok
or Paik Jong-won?

Come on. What are you doing right now?

I'm asking you to choose.

Why do you keep pestering me
with these choices?

It's not even lunchtime yet.
You're giving me a headache.

Do you know why you have a headache?

All right. Let me teach you
a bit of brain science.

You see, just like a cell phone's battery,

the brain only makes
a limited number of wise choices in a day.

Once the brain has used them all up
without prioritizing,

it can end up making a bad decision.

Spicy seafood noodles
or black bean noodles?

Making a series of useless choices

inhibits impulse control

and reduces the capacity for judgment.

Steve Jobs famously wore
the same outfit every day

to avoid wasting brain power
on useless choices.

I see.

So that's why that rich guy
always wore the same outfit.

Because he was tasked daily
with dozens of decisions

that could impact
the future of his company.

But...

what's this?

You haven't even used much brain power,

and your head already hurts
from deciding what to eat.

Because of your low brain capacity,

your brain must be overloaded
after just a few choices.

If your brain were a computer,
it would be one from the '80s.

Gosh, that little...

He's so annoying.

SEOBU POLICE STATION

-Salute.
-Hello.

-Gosh.
-What?

What's up with his hair?

-Did you see his hair?
-Did you see?

What...

Come on! Good grief.

You're here.

Gosh. Captain.

What are you doing by yourself?

The office was a bit messy.

I could tell Dr. Shin was bothered by it.

You figured out my preferences right away.

That's a great skill for an investigator.

To thank you for your eager cooperation,

I will devote all of my knowledge
to solving this case

as finely as you cleaned this office.

Thank you.

All right.

Let's start the case briefing.

Okay.

What a nutcase.

According to the autopsy results,
the DBS electrodes were charred.

The cerebral hemorrhage started
where the DBS electrodes were.

They confirmed

he died from the heat
from the high-frequency device.

I checked Kim Jae-won's phone,

which had an app
linked to the high-frequency bracelet.

Around 8:00 p.m.,

around the time the victim collapsed,

the bracelet emitted its maximum output.

Kim Jae-won asked his wife to k*ll him

and gave his phone to her
before going on stage.

Then his wife complied with his request.

That was her confession.

That confession...

Can you be sure she's telling the truth?

Did you summon Ms. Jeong In-yeong?

When will she get here?

-There she is.
-She's here!

You're a m*rder*r!

How could you k*ll him?

You m*rder*r!

I understand this must be hard on you

but repeated questioning
is part of the investigation process.

I thought you were going to question her.

Let me ask you again.

Why did you run the app
linked to the high-frequency device?

Jae-won

wanted to die
while shining most brightly on stage.

Did you not want to stop him?

I wanted to stop him.

I said I didn't want to do it.

I told him clearly that I couldn't do it.

Then why did you run the app?

I don't know.

I don't know why I did it.

I don't know.

Ms. Jeong.

You just confessed to contract k*lling.
Are you aware of that?

That's enough. Ms. Jeong has
pleaded guilty to all charges...

Ms. Jeong.

How have you been?

You look familiar.

I'm Dr. Shin Ha-ru, a neuroscientist.

We met at the afterparty for
the rock festival on Jarasum Island.

That's right.

Have you been well?

Of course.

I've been meaning to call you
but never got around to it.

Right. You introduced me
to a friend that day.

What was the name?

A-yeong?

Right. A-yeong.

How is she?

She's doing well.

A-yeong says she misses you.

-That was all made up?
-That was all made up?

Yes. We've never met before.

What about Jarasum Island?

I've never been there.

Then what about the woman, A-yeong?

I've never heard of her.

So Ms. Jeong really made everything up?

Yes. And she did it

because she has
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.

Wer...

Wernicke...

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome

is a memory disorder
caused by brain damage.

It's a rare neurological disorder

that causes confabulation
and high susceptibility to suggestion.

Confabulation.

So she makes up stories?

Yes.

That's why she believed me
when I lied and said we'd met,

and she made up a story to fit mine.

So what she said about the app...

Ms. Jeong probably made it up.

But why do I feel like
you're the one making up stories?

And what if I'm right?

What if?

Then I'll give you a compliment.

Are you sure you can handle that promise?

Yes, I'll handle it for sure.

Okay. Let's go see if I'm right.

KOREA NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

I can see bleeding
and damage in the hypothalamus,

as well as general signs
of encephalatrophy.

I suspect a severe thiamine deficiency.

It's definitely
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.

But I wonder what caused
the thiamine deficiency.

It's not common.

Hand tremors,

shortness of breath and hyperventilation,

and spider veins on her nose.

Mr. Oh.

Ms. Jeong is an alcoholic, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

She suffers from alcohol dependence,
which causes thiamine deficiency.

That is why her previous confession,

which was made up due to her having
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome,

is not admissible as evidence.

You'll have to reinvestigate.

The case will be reinvestigated
from the very beginning.

Right, I'm glad.

We'll get going, then. Please be in touch.

And now we have a long way to go.

Let's go.

-Where do you think you're going?
-What are you doing?

Let me see you handle your promise.

Go ahead.

Compliment me.

You shouldn't take a joke so seriously.

But it wasn't funny.

Go ahead. Compliment me.

Dr. Shin, people are watching.

I'm used to people watching.

I've been watched in awe and in disdain.

I've experienced it all
and am not fazed by it.

Sure, I'll do it.

A compliment isn't a big deal.

Darn it.

Dr. Shin,

you...

You're...

I can't do it. I'd rather you hit me.

Take that.

Shouldn't a police officer
be better at keeping promises?

Gosh, it's crimson red. Are you all right?

No, I think I might die of humiliation.

Why you little... What on earth was that?

You should've just slapped me instead.

Run away before he slaps you.

-You crazy little...
-"Crazy"?

Can you handle the consequences
of what you just said?

I sure can!

Why you...

You're upset, aren't you?

I know,
it was a harsh disciplinary measure.

There is a benefit to aging.

My amygdala

isn't as sensitive as it once was
to negative stimuli.

I've become more positive in my outlook.

Ha-ru will pull through.

That being said,

I hear there's a position at UC Irvine.

Actually,

he wishes to return to Brain Hub.

-He wants to come back?
-That's right.

He says he will no matter what.

I'm sure you want him back as well.

I'd be more than happy to have him back.

I've had enough.

Stop with the pacing and sit down.

I walk counterclockwise when I'm thinking.

Get used to it.

Is there a particular reason
as to why you walk counterclockwise?

Your thinking becomes more active
when your body is moving around.

Please join me.

Unbelievable.

I detest those who are incapable of
scientific thinking, rational judgment,

and logical reasoning
and won't even work to make up for it.

Detest me all you want.

Let's keep going.

But Captain...

So you believe that there's another person

who activated
Mr. Kim's high-frequency bracelet.

Spoken like a true intellectual.

Even a child would know that.

You think we've been twiddling our thumbs?

We looked into all the staff
caught on security cameras

and found nothing.

Not one of them even knew

that Mr. Kim had been
diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Wait, there was one person who knew.

There were two people.

Mr. Oh, at the time of the incident,

you were on the phone in the parking lot.

That's right. I was talking to my wife.

I went to the parking lot
to get away from the noise.

Don't worry. Everything's fine.

Didn't you find it
on the security footage?

We have you right here.

There's a log of the call you made,

which makes for a clear alibi.

Would you be willing
to turn in your phone?

Sure. Here you go.

By the way, weren't you aware
that Ms. Jeong had been diagnosed

with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome?

I've never even heard of such an illness.

Then do you believe

that Ms. Jeong
intentionally activated the app?

Jae-won and In-yeong

were like family to me.

I can only hope that isn't true.

The phone was turned over to forensics.

We just need to see
if the app was installed,

so it won't take long.

I doubt we'll find anything.

I agree.

Him turning it over so easily
makes you wonder.

So do you think he did it or not?

Choose.

He did it. No, he didn't.

Actually, I can't say that he didn't.

We're still investigating, so...

Darn it. Stop making me choose, will you?

You're reacting that way after one choice?

Your brain capacity
must have shrunken again.

And what about you?

You claim to know everything
from just the eyes,

so why are you just sitting here
glaring at the video?

What? Should I glare at you instead?

Guys, please. We have one more suspect.

That reminds me.

Is there someone on the force
who can read lips?

I've been wanting
to meet you in person, Dr. Shin,

and here we are.

As you know, the recent scandal
has me wandering like a stray cat.

Places will line up
to hire you soon enough.

You're the best neuroscientist there is.

Did you hear that?

I know you're busy,
but we have a few questions.

Come this way.

Quite a few videos from that day
have been going around.

We noticed something interesting
in one of them.

What were you saying there?

I'm not sure. I was pretty frazzled.

I don't remember.

We consulted a lip-reader,

who thinks you said...

You k*lled him.

"You k*lled him."

It sounded like you were sure
Ms. Jeong had k*lled him.

It was just a resentful comment.

I knew the couple had fought a lot
over her alcoholism.

Jae-won suffered a lot because of that.

"He died because you made his life hard."

That's what I meant.

Perhaps you knew Ms. Jeong
had Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome

and presented a suggestion

so that she would believe
she'd k*lled her husband.

I didn't know Ms. Jeong had
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.

You were close enough to know
she was an alcoholic.

Did you really not know?

I could tell right away
when I saw her eyes and gait

on the news.

It's a pity I'm not as great
a neuroscientist as you are.

Come on. You're way too humble.

You're the best doctor

at Yuil University Hospital.

Even if I did know,

why would I try
to make Ms. Jeong look guilty?

For love.

Dr. Shin.

You went too far.

Of course I love him.

As a fan.

I love Jae-won as a fan.

My gosh.

What's that about?

Stop it. Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go. Get up.

Come along.

Do you know that patient?

He's my patient.
He has aphasia, or speech impairment.

Then...

you must know

what his laughter meant.

I have nothing to do with Jae-won's death.

I have patients to see.

-Excuse me.
-All right.

I apologize if you were offended.

Goodbye.

What did his laughter mean?

They seemed to know something.
What was it?

As I told you, Kim Jae-won and his doctor

were in a relationship.

That man had aphasia.

Some people with aphasia
can make great lie detectors.

As a fan. I love Jae-won as a fan.

They lose their speech
but gain the ability

to detect unnaturalness or dishonesty
in a person's demeanor.

That's amazing. Is that true?

The mouth may lie
but the face it makes tells the truth,

according to Nietzsche.

Sorry.

You're probably unfamiliar with Nietzsche.

Was that too advanced for you?

Hey, I understood what you said, okay?

We were doing so well up until now.

Anyway, the point is

that some people who are aphasic
make great lie detectors.

So the doctor was lying?

Why do I keep feeling like
you're the one who's lying?

Okay. Let's make a bet.

Loser gets slapped.

A cute pose.

An adorable pose.

One, two.

It's true.

The two were intimate.

I know.

Goodness...

That must've upset you.

No.

I learned not to get upset
over things like that.

So many women threw themselves
at my husband.

They were merely fleeting affairs.

No matter what happened,

Jae-won was mine.

It's true. I knew as well.

I guess Jae-won leaned on her
when his illness took a toll on him.

But they ended it quickly.

I think the doctor

got a bit obsessive after they broke up.

To be honest,
I think the doctor's the k*ller.

This happened yesterday.

Take a look.

I had a bad feeling about her,

so I followed her.

Why would she get rid of it
if she wasn't guilty?

SUSPECT INFORMATION: KIM HUI-JU, 43

The person you are trying to call
is unavailable.

She won't pick up or text back.

Something smells fishy.

I'll bring the doctor in.

I'll tag along.

Listen, Dr. Brain.

A consultant on police field duty?
Aren't you overstepping the bounds?

I'd like to watch you bring her in.

We're short on time,
and I can be of assistance.

You see, there's something I'm good at.

Darn you!

This car isn't as nice as yours!

It'll break down at this speed!

It's fun driving a rickety car for once.

Hey! Come on!

Stop, pull over!

Can you pull over before we crash?

I feel like throwing up.

I bet we got
a hundred tickets for speeding.

What'll you do about that?

I'll pay them all.

Is this how rich people show off?

The government will
put the money to good use.

A freeloader like you wouldn't understand
the creative ways I serve my country.

Ring the doorbell.

Darn you.

My gosh.

You're home, Ms. Kim.

Why didn't you answer...

Excuse me.

Who are you?

Ms. Jeong.

She's in handcuffs. What's going on?

My goodness.

What happened?

What's going on?

She didn't seem
strong enough to even hold a knife.

What possessed her to do this?

The Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
probably fed her delusion.

She may have gone from thinking
the doctor might have k*lled her husband

to believing that she definitely did.

Could she have k*lled her husband
because of her delusions?

Let's not commit
a hasty generalization fallacy.

Right. We don't know that yet.

Was it the wife or the lover?

That seems to be the question.

Ms. Kim Hui-ju will pull through.

I finished questioning her
in the hospital room.

She didn't want her relationship
to come to light,

which is why she threw away her phone.

I think Ms. Kim is our prime suspect.

She has the most expert knowledge of DBS,

and it's odd that she discarded her phone.

Given the circumstances,
isn't Ms. Jeong a more likely suspect?

Just look at how violent
she was with Ms. Kim.

I bet she was fully capable of
harming her husband.

If she had hurt her husband
out of rage or jealousy,

she wouldn't have turned herself in.

No. She could have.

She probably felt hopeless.

I'm not sure about that.

We don't have enough evidence
to make that conclusion.

Besides, they weren't exactly happy...

together...

k*ll him.

Given the circumstances...

You've never dealt with
a cheating spouse, have you?

Then you can't possibly talk about...

YI-NA'S MOM

Gosh. Look at that timing.

Come on.

Did she install a spy app or something?

YI-NA'S MOM

Come on!

What is it now?

Come on. There's somewhere we need to go.

Don't bring over food.
I don't have time to eat.

We'd end up throwing out half of it.

It's not for you. It's for Yi-na.

Is something up with her?

She won't take my calls or texts.

Gosh. I'm so jealous.
I wish I could do the same.

You're not capable of that.
She takes after me.

She's home. Bye.

Yi-na.

Why didn't you answer your phone?
I was worried.

Let's go out. I got paid.

Let's eat out.

-How about getting some new clothes?
-I don't need any.

Why not?
Girls your age love pretty clothes.

When I was your age,
your grandma never bought me...

Unlike you, I don't have guys to impress.

I don't need any.

What did you mean by that?

That's no way to talk to your mother.

What about having an affair?
Is that how a mother should behave?

Are you even paying Dad child support?

Well,

there are days when I have work

and days when I don't.

I feel awful for Dad.

Wait.

Yes. That's a piece of cake these days.

That's very doable.

Okay. Great.

So did you figure out who the culprit is?

Yes.

I've finally figured out
the culprit who k*lled Kim Jae-won.

-Investigate!
-Investigate!

-Investigate Kim's case thoroughly!
-There he is.

-Here he comes.
-Let's go.

Hello, everyone.

We discovered new information
about Ms. Jeong In-yeong.

So we're reinvestigating the case
from scratch.

What did you learn about her?

Well, I can't tell you due
to privacy concerns.

Is it true that she's using
her alcoholism to request leniency?

There are rumors that
Ms. Jeong has a secret lover.

Can you handle
the consequences of that accusation?

That would make
for a perfect defamation case.

-Was that Dr. Shin?
-Dr. Shin?

-That was him, right?
-I think so.

-What's he doing here?
-Why is Dr. Shin here?

Dr. Shin is a consultant for
the Neuroscientific Investigation Team.

-Really? Dr. Shin.
-That was him.

-Dr. Shin!
-Dr. Shin!

Did they just completely ignore me?

Did some dust get in my eyes?

Why am I tearing up?

ANDROPAUSE BRAIN
NAME: KIM GIL-JOONG

OCCUPATION: SUBSECTION CHIEF OF
NEUROSCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION TEAM

Hurry up and come out.

No one can help me

with the sudden bowel movement
I'm dealing with right now.

So just leave me alone, will you?

I have made a discovery

that's as important
as your sudden bowel movement.

I figured out who did it.

We should go catch the culprit.

What?

Gosh. Hold on.

WE WANT THE TRUTH
WE WON'T FORGET YOU

-Gosh. Hey.
-Hurry.

-Let's record it.
-Listen.

This will be a hit.

Rock spirit!

Yes. Come on in.

-Hello. I've been waiting.
-Hello.

-Please take a seat.
-Okay.

Thank you.

We came to ask you something.

Please ask away.

Out of the following,
please choose which one you like.

Choose one.
Black bean noodles or spicy noodles?

-Pardon?
-Pick one quickly.

Well, black bean noodles.

Choose one. Your dad or your mom?

-What is this?
-Choose one.

James Dean or Clint Eastwood?

-Clint Eastwood.
-Choose one.

Yoo Jae-ha or Cho Yong-pil?

Cho Yong-pil.

Which one did you use?

Choose one.

What are you doing? Is this a joke?

Why...

Why are you asking me
such ridiculous questions?

Your diminishing impulse control shows

that your brain must be overloaded.

A second ago, you had no problem lying.

You're a fan of James Dean and Yoo Jae-ha.

Why did you choose Clint Eastwood
and Cho Yong-pil instead?

There's probably only one reason you lied.

You feared that I might connect
Kim Jae-won's death

with the premature deaths
of other celebrities,

and you panicked.

And this phone is yours.
Why couldn't you pick it out?

I see.

You must have been confused
by how we found this.

I don't think I follow.

How is that my phone?

This specific model

can be used for deep brain stimulation.

It's the same model Mr. Kim had.

I wonder why you bought this.

Probably to copy his phone
and access the high-frequency app on it.

At the time,

I was on the phone with my wife.

That's right.

You were using earbuds
to talk to your wife.

Don't worry. Everything's fine.

All while accessing the app
on the cloned phone.

Which raises the question,

which phone did you use to call your wife?

You called your wife first
and pocketed the phone.

Then, you talked to her

in clear view of a security camera...

Yes, I'm at the venue.

...to give yourself the perfect alibi.

While on the phone,

I looked up news articles
related to the show.

That must've misled you.

Forensics will be able to easily access
your search history.

All right.

They'll even tell us
whether this is yours or not.

Do as you wish.

We'll call you
once the test results come back.

Shall we?

I'm getting a bad feeling about this,
which doesn't bode well.

I don't think we'll get anything on him.

Choose, Detective.

Would you rather be incompetent
or anxious?

Again with those darn choices!

Your brain capacity
is shrinking close to zero.

What the...

How dare they fool me!

Oh dear.

Talk about a brain overload.

You led us right to the evidence.

You weren't kidding about
being a former judo athlete.

He might be able to end the detective.

Take this!

Did you just try to stab me?

You are under arrest
for the m*rder of Kim Jae-won.

You were worried that Ms. Jeong

wouldn't be able to activate
the high-frequency app.

That's why you took matters
into your own hands.

You turned up the frequency
with the phone you had cloned in advance.

After learning about
Ms. Jeong's memory disorder,

you also tried to frame her.

That's not true.

I swear it's not.

I only did it for Jae-won's sake.

It wasn't an easy decision for me.

Fans want the artist
to always be in their best form.

Do you know how many fans turn their backs
following the smallest mistakes and flaws?

Jae-won's pride was his everything.

He didn't want his fans

to see him lose his mobility
and appear pitiful.

He said he'd rather die
than let them see him in a pathetic state.

He wanted to shine forever
in his most brilliant moment.

I knew him better than anyone else,
and I knew how he felt.

In-yeong agreed to do it,
but I knew she'd hesitate.

That's why

I wanted to grant him that wish.

Because I was the one who made him shine,

I believed it was my duty to send him off.

I did it out of my love for him.

People don't always
have to be in their best form.

Even when you're not the brightest star,
there will still be people who love you.

You have me and In-yeong.

Everyone else might walk away,
but we'll be here for you.

Because our lives shine the brightest

when you're here breathing alongside us.

Shouldn't you have said
something like that?

If you truly cared for Mr. Kim, I mean.

You only saw him as a means
to fatten your bank account.

Even in death,

you saw him as an ATM

that would keep spitting out money.

The computer confiscated from your office
contained something intriguing.

"Freddie Mercury," "Yoo Jae-ha,"
"posthumous commemoration business"...

You were researching projects to spearhead
after Mr. Kim died.

In order for your business to take off,

you needed Mr. Kim
to die in a dramatic fashion.

You might have goaded him
along the path to suicide

by promising to make him a legend.

The person who didn't want
to see Mr. Kim in a pitiful state

was you.

So don't give us this nonsense about love.

You don't deserve to speak on it.

-Kim Jae-won!
-Find justice!

-Investigate!
-Justice for Kim Jae-won!

Mr. Oh Sang-gi, the new suspect
in the Kim Jae-won m*rder case,

propelled the investigation forward
by confessing to the crime.

Oh Sang-gi, Mr. Kim's long-time manager

and CEO of Hwal Entertainment,

used a cloned phone to k*ll Mr. Kim,

who had been suffering
from a medical condition.

A MAN WAS WRONGFULLY k*lled

There she is.

Wait.

Out of the way, please!

Please make way.

Move!

Let her through.

Out of the way.

I wonder who'd stay by my side
when I'm at my worst.

Beats me.

You have your daughter.

Right. I do have a daughter.

So? You have multiple personalities.

Gosh, I can't stand your dad jokes.

I do have a ridiculous daughter
who thinks she raised herself

even though I spent years
changing her diapers.

She'll realize everything
you went through when she's older.

Not at all.
I don't need her to realize any of it.

I feel guilty enough

that I'm nothing but a bad dad to her.

Mr. Brain, as a celebrity figure yourself,

this case must have resonated with you.

I only say this
because you still don't seem to get me.

It doesn't matter if we're
at our brightest or at our worst.

Why must anyone be there for us?

A weakling who needs someone by his side?

That's not me.

Are you leaving?

You had a major role in solving this case.

Maybe we could grab a beer...

One shot of malt whiskey
on Saturdays. I forgot.

I apologize.

Bye, then.

See you tomorrow.

I hate his guts.

All human beings go through life alone.

So please stop whining.

I really hate him.

Okay, so...

Ms. Jeong's false confession,

made under the influence
of a rare illness,

caused us some difficulty at first.

But the Neuroscientific Investigation Team
that I insisted on creating

did some excellent work,

and allowed us to find the real k*ller.

Is the illness called
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome?

Can you tell us about it?

Okay, so, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome...

-is caused by brain damage...
-It's Dr. Shin Ha-ru!

-Doctor, just a moment.
-Doctor, wait.

-Wait. I have a question.
-Wait.

-Just a moment, Doctor.
-Please stop.

I hate him.

So much.

Dr. Shin, how did you
come to join the team?

-How did the briefing go?
-I didn't join.

I'm a temporary consultant.

It's a surprising decision.
What influenced you?

Did you have a change of heart
after you were kicked out of the lab?

I mean...

Yes.

I regret going too far
in the name of research.

To show my remorse,

I wanted to offer
what little help I could to the police,

who serve the public every day
by maintaining order.

And it just so happened that I was asked
to help with Kim Jae-won's case.

When I heard the Neuroscientific
Investigation Team was created,

I decided they'd benefit the most
from my expertise.

My gosh. He's a born actor.

Take this!

I suddenly want to believe him.

What made you go so far

as to forge a document
to obtain Kang Sung-ha's brain?

I needed it for one of my projects,

the Psychopathic Brain Rebuilding Project.

Rebuilding a psychopath's brain?

Are you saying you want to remodel it?

-Remodel?
-Is that possible?

-What is that?
-I don't get it.

Instead of "remodel,"

I prefer the word "cure."

Can it be cured?

We're learning the brain is
the reason behind some brutal crimes.

Studying them at the molecular level

can help cure violent behavior
caused by neurobiological factors,

which is what my project aims to do.

Child.

You have grown up well.

Guard.

Yes, Doctor.

I need Dr. Shin Ha-ru's number.

Got it.

To what do I owe the honor of this call?

Right now?

Hey.

Judging by your serve,
you're still mad at me.

-Does it show?
-Let's take a break.

A consultant for the police?

Unbelievable.

What are you up to?

It worked. You called me right away.

I can't avoid seeing you,
because every news program

is talking about
the bright new investigator.

It was all part of my plan.

I'm looking for a way
to salvage your career.

Serve the community for now.

I'll call you back
when things are looking better.

Don't do anything foolish.

Okay.

How about another game?

I'll go easy on you
as a show of appreciation.

Okay.

Let's eat.

Okay.

You did a great job solving
your first case, so lunch is on me.

Yes.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

-Welcome.
-Hello.

-Three bowls of offal soup.
-Okay.

Captain, you could have something else.

There's raw beef bibimbap.

The raw beef bibimbap costs 10,000 won.

Ask if cops get a discount.

It's not like we're celebrities.

Demanding a discount is embarrassing.

What? Embarrassing? Are you buying?

I don't mind, sir.

I'll have offal soup.

Good.

Let's eat.

Captain, are you pretending to eat?

No, I ate a lot.

When you eat out as a team,

you need to eat heartily
and keep each other's spirits high.

If the captain doesn't eat,
it sours the mood.

What? Are you upset
I ordered you a cheaper dish?

Hey, Captain.

Major Crimes Team 2 needs you.
It's urgent.

-You should go.
-Okay.

-Excuse me.
-Go, run.

Why did they contact you to ask for her?

-What?
-Here's a huge piece.

Open wide, Chief.

Here, please have this.

I saw you eat this last time.

Thank you.

You even lied to cover for me earlier.
Thank you so much.

I should pay you for the sandwich.

No, it's fine. I can afford that much.

Hold on.

I'll take this outside.

I'll get you more next month.

Look at that.
He's got more than a few people

bribing him.

Your business needs to do well.

-Go on.
-Okay.

What are you doing here?

The police station parking lot was full.

What were you doing on this seedy corner?

Seedy? My gosh.

It's obvious you've never been to
a real seedy place.

Who was that?

Mr. Yang? He owns a restaurant nearby.

Did someone make a complaint?
What were you meeting about?

It was a private matter.

I'm sure it was.

POLICE ID
GEUM MYEONG-SAE

A private matter.

You must be trying to pick a fight again.

I've decided that
rather than waste time arguing with you,

I'd prefer to spend that time
getting a drink.

You call that a decision?

Don't worry, you'll have time
to drink a whole bucket.

Now if you'll excuse me.

What was that about?
What's wrong with him?

Yes, Reporter Park. How are you?

I called to give you a story.

I even wrote the headline for you.

"Police still take bribes."

That's right.

This report is about a dirty cop.

Something feels off.

He's been snickering to himself recently.

The way he looks at me...

"You're doomed."

That's what it looks like he's saying.

I have no idea what he's plotting.

He's probably plotting to bring you down.

Probably, right?

Come on.

Don't sound so indifferent.

I got mixed up with him because of you.

Gosh. Sorry about that.

This one's on me.

-Happy now?
-No.

You're buying the third round
at a very expensive place.

Fine. I'll buy for the third round too!

REPORTER PARK JIN-YEONG

I posted the article about
the cop you told me about.

From Reporter Park Jin-yeong.

Okay. That was quick.

What?

Come on.

Gosh, this is...

Goodness. What?

What is this nonsense?

Gosh. What just happened?

You make a fantastic duo.

Help me, Dr. Brain!

Get him!

I'm going to sh**t!

-Hey!
-Stick to the protocol.

Don't just do
whatever you want to do to help me.

Why do I have to follow
the police protocol?

I found something odd.

What on earth did she find out?

You should be careful.

-What?
-If they really became a psychopath...

Who are you really?

Are you really someone with a doctorate?
