Output: Top forensic pathologist Kang Minho is about to retire so that he can spend time with his daughter whos just returned home after a long stint overseas. But when the dismembered corpse of a young woman, identified as Oh Eunah, is found at a local river, Kang agrees to do one last job. He performs a graphic autopsy on her. The primary suspect is environmental activist Lee Sungho, who readily admits his guilt to rookie detective Min Seoyoung, Kangs former student. Lee says that he committed the crime in order to oppose construction that would divide the river into six parts hence the six body parts, but the police are baffled when the clues they uncover keep contradicting Lees confession. Then Lee tells Kang that his daughter has been kidnapped. Lee lets Kang call his daughter, who hears her crying for help. Kang is forced to compromise his professional ethics and tamper with the evidence that must lead to Lees release from custody within three days, or else Kangs daughter will be killed. Exploring some backstory behind Lee, Min discovers that Kang was involved in another case, which was on three defendants who allegedly raped Lees sister. However, Kangs findings prove that the sex wasnt forced, and that the sister was promiscuous. She also learns that Oh Eunah was a witness. The three defendants were freed from charge, leaving Lee full of hatred towards Kang because of the doctors findings and truth about his sister. After Kang tampers with enough evidence including completely dissecting the body of Oh Eunah and placing semen in it, Lee is released, and Kang follows him to his home. Min realizes the defendants are all dead and Kang will be next. After Kang viciously beats Lee about his daughter, Lee tells him her location. When Kang, Lee, and Min arrive to the building Lee directed them to, they find his daughter dead in a pile of rose petals. Kang, devastated, tries to gather her body, but he finds that there isnt a body; only her head and limbs are in the petals. Kang collapses in shock: The dismembered body, supposedly of Oh Eunah found at the beginning of the film, which Kang also autopsied throughout the film and tampered with, was actually his daughter, while the real Oh Eunah was a different hostage. His daughters cries for help that Kang heard over the phone were actually recorded by Lee prior to her death. She was dead way before the start. Kang cries in agony as flashbacks show the graphic autopsy, where he continues to dissect his daughters corpse and tampers with it by adding semen, completely unaware at the time. Lee taunts Kang and brags that he will live with the same pain Lee did. Min begs Kang not to kill Lee for his daughters death, but the doctor takes out her gun and shoots him. Kang, unable to forgive himself, also shoots himself as the police arrive. The film ends with a voiceover from Lee about how easy it is to hate and how hard it is to forgive.
