(ominous music)

(music halts)

Who are you?

Hey!

Oh, my.

(panting)

What... Just now...

What the...

(gasps)

Did you see a ghost or something?

Jeez. Seriously.

(chuckles)

-(lock beeping)
-What on earth?

What's wrong with him?

(lock chimes)

(groans)

(distant clattering)

(quirky music)

(groans)

(distant banging)

Who's there?

Darn it.

This is so annoying.

-No, whatever.
-(distant clattering)

(whimpers)

Who's there? Are you a ghost?

Come out!

Come out now!

HOGAE: Come out!

(Hogae shouts)

Come out!

Gosh.

HOGAE: Come out!

FIRE INVESTIGATION REPORT
NEXT STUDIO UNIT 802

CODE YELLOW: EMERGENCY CODE ISSUED
WHEN A PATIENT GOES MISSING

THE SAFEST TAEWON,
RESPECTED AND BELOVED TAEWON POLICE

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

Oh, my goodness!

(yelps)

Detective Jin, what are you doing here?

I couldn't sleep. Why am I tearing up?

Oh, whatever. Darn it.

PIL: It's coming out.

Darn, it's coming out.

What is it?

Find me a case file.

Next Studio, Unit 802.

Okay, fine. It's coming out!

(Pil yelps)

CCTV ANALYSIS REPORT
2022, TAEWON POLICE STATION

What about this case?

It's where I live.

What? There's a ghost there.

Say "ghost" one more time,
and I'll bite you off.

What about this studio of horror case?

MR. BAEK: Gosh.

PARK TAEHOON MISSING CASE

Hey, Jindo Dog.
You're not even with the Marine Corps.

Are you trying to catch ghosts now?

Stop talking about ghosts.

Ghosts don't exist.
Especially in this day and age.

Ghosts exist. And that place
is notorious in that neighborhood.

No one lives there,

but someone speaks
to themselves every night.

I said ghosts don't exist!

I'll prove it to you.

Hey, we have lots to prepare.
Write them down.

Okay. You're unnecessarily detailed.

A tapeline, a marker, work gloves,

a crowbar, a hammer, a chisel,
a saw, and a hammer drill.

A crowbar, a hammer, a chisel, a saw,
and what? A hammer drill.

A crowbar, a hammer, a hammer drill?

Sounds like tools to get rid of a body.

(sucks teeth)

Jindo Dog, that punk...
He shouldn't bite off people.

(upbeat music)

HOGAE: Get ready to investigate.

There's really nothing
to investigate here.

HOGAE: Why you little...

A scene is three-dimensional.
Get ready and grab it.

(Pil grunts)

Let me put on my gloves first.

-(tools thud)
-Slow down... Jeez!

PIL: Aren't you a tenant here?
You shouldn't damage the place.

We checked everything before.

HOGAE: Everything? Are you sure?

Can you not hold that as you speak?

-Just get the crowbar.
-PIL: Okay.

(Pil grunts)

PIL: Isn't this like a bottle opener?

-HOGAE: Hey, move aside.
-PIL: What? Okay.

HOGAE: There you go.

PIL: Yes!

(tense music)

Wait. Detective, isn't this...

No one disappears without a trace.
Pull it out.

It's here, too.

Keep pulling it.

-(lock chimes)
-(exclaims)

-Hey.
-What's this noise?

I don't know. What are they doing
early in the morning?

-Did we hit the jackpot?
-Yes.

What on earth?
Why are you making a mess in your house?

-HOGAE: Don't come in!
-PIL: No!

Why?

If you ruin the scene again,
I'll bite you off.

Gosh, you startled me.

PIL: Done.

(suspenseful music)

See? I told you so. Give me 50,000 won.

Gosh, this is crazy.

What is it?

It's a fecal occult blood kit

that checks human blood.
It came out positive.

This is human blood that was missed
during the primary investigation.

(scoffs)
How lovely.

A closed-door fire and missing case?

You were all wrong.

There was a ghost mark.

Blood that seeped through
can't be wiped or burned.

(ominous music)

SEOL: Someone bled to the point
that their blood seeped through the floor.

It means the blood stayed for a long time.

(in English)
Post mortem.

(in Korean)
It happened after that person died.

HOGAE: Are you getting it now?

This is not a simple missing case.

It may be a murder case.

Gosh, my knees.

And it may be an arson case,
not a simple fire case.

Ghosts appear when they have a grudge.

Didn't you say ghosts don't exist?

You little...

Are you off duty? Help us out a little.

You created this mess.

Don't pass the police's job
onto the fire crew.

SEOL: Let's go.

HOGAE: I'm not passing the job on to you.

I'm officially asking
for your cooperation,

because some people I know
messed up with the fire investigation.

DOJIN: January, April, July...

FIRE INVESTIGATION REPORT
NEXT STUDIO UNIT 802

You need to stop dwelling on it.

Hello.

Ma'am, there's still...

a plausibility of arson.

We shouldn't rule it out yet.
If you give me some time--

Dojin, even the police are frustrated,
because they can't find the body.

They said they'd close it
as a missing case.

Let's submit our report
and close it, too. Okay?

(sighs)

(clatters)

Bloodstain number 27.

It's 20 cm by 78 cm.

HOGAE: This person sure bled a lot.

(camera shutter clicks)

You're right, I messed up.

NEXT STUDIO UNIT 802 FIRE

I'll investigate the fire
from square one, too.

(sighs)

Now you sound like the Bulldozer.

Can I come in?

This place was severely damaged by fire.

Everything in here was moved
as the fire was put out,

so it was especially hard
to guess how it was beforehand,

and to find where the fire started.

DOJIN: You need to find out where
the fire started to know what caused it.

Now, look.

The curtains, total destruction by fire.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION BY FIRE
SOMETHING IS TOTALLY DESTROYED BY FIRE

The bed, partial destruction by fire.

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION BY FIRE
SOMETHING IS PARTIALLY DESTROYED BY FIRE

The bedside table,
severely damaged by fire.

DAMAGED BY FIRE
SOMETHING IS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY FIRE

And...

The shelf, slight destruction by fire.

SLIGHT DESTRUCTION BY FIRE
SOMETHING IS SLIGHTLY DESTROYED BY FIRE

And the floor
was damaged badly in general.

An ignition source,
a combustible material, and oxygen.

All three elements are needed
for a fire to start.

Hmm...

Oxygen must have kept coming in
through the open windows.

The room was closed,
so the ignition source must be unknown.

You'd need another fuel source
to burn the whole place like this.

So we checked a trace
of any flammable accelerants

from thinner to kerosene and gasoline,
but nothing was found.

And there was no motive for arson.

That's why the case was closed.

You didn't know about the bloodstains.
The motive was to conceal the murder.

Conceal?

Then the culprit must have aimed
to burn down the floor.

That's right.

(groans)

Because the victim probably bled heavily.

Hold on.

(sighs)

How did I miss this?

-What is it?
-It's...

No, I shouldn't jump to conclusions yet.

Let me check a bit more.

-Tell us.
-That's up to you.

Hey, give me the marker.

(grunts)

-Where did it go?
-Why you...

Here it is.

(thrilling music)

The victim bled here for an extended time.

The body was dragged
to the bathroom like this.

And...

Every touch leaves a trace.

-Move your foot.
-PIL: Okay.

HOGAE: The colors are different.
It's clean here.

You're right. Only this part is dirty.

(Pil exclaims)

(grunts)

(sighs)

PIL: It seems clear that the culprit
disposed of the body in the bathroom.

You said the footage captured the victim
coming in but not coming out, right?

No, even when we checked
the footage of 30,000 CCTV cameras

from the building entrance
to a radius of 2 km.

Rumors even said he went
to a four-dimensional world.

HOGAE: What about the toilet?

The toilet? How can a person fit in there?

You're right, but let's give it a try.

-Stop it. Don't.
-Okay, all right.

-I get it, okay?
-Just try.

Come on.

I'm sorry, but you guys
are investigating, right?

Imagination is needed to investigate.

Besides, this case has two puzzles,
murder and arson.

Will you cooperate?

Fine, okay.

I'll take the closed-door fire.

I'll take the closed-door murder.

Are you making an alliance now or what?

Seriously.

-Forget it.
-Forget it.

PIL: Your chemistry is disgustingly great.

-(Pil snickers)
-Hey. Shut it.

MAN 1: Gosh, it stinks.

-MAN 2: It smells like cheonggukjang.
-STAFF: Sorry about this.

They haven't cleaned the tank
for more than two years. It stinks.

Suck every drop of it, please.

-It's taking too much time.
-HOGAE: Sorry about this.

Sorry.

Hey, check every corner of it.
Meticulously and thoroughly. Okay?

EUNSOO ENVIRONMENT

MR. BAEK: This is driving me crazy.

Jindo Dog, that punk,
brought a truck of feces here.

SOON: Mr. Baek Cham.

Let's not invade each other's turf here.

MR. BAEK: We didn't invade anything.
This is a parking lot.

SOON: It's the odor
that's invading our turf.

The odor invaded their turf?

Goodness. How poetic.

(sniffles)

(grunts)

HOGAE: Look here.

Gosh.

PIL: What is this?

-Take this.
-POLICE: There's something in there!

-PIL: This.
-POLICE: Slowly!

-Here.
-(men grunt)

HOGAE: Guys, don't overact.

What is it? Isn't it a cigarette butt?

Put it away.
Darn those who smoke in a bathroom.

(retches)

HOGAE: Hurry up.

-What's with them?
-Darn.

Hey. What about this?

-PIL: Here.
-Isn't it another butt?

It's mushy.

(groans)
I smell something fishy.

-HOGAE: Anna.
-ANNA: Yes.

HOGAE: Take this straight
to the National Forensic Service.

ANNA: Soft tissue?
I think it's part of the human body.

All right.

This is now a murder case.

We're reinvestigating it
from square one. Okay?

Tell the Bulldozer
that we got one up on him.

PIL: Withdraw now!

-Withdraw.
-Good job.

Now put it away. It stinks.

-How many seconds?
-Still more than a minute.

(sighs)
It's not easy.

HAND SANITIZER 70%
HAND SANITIZER 83%

DOJIN: It's 83% now, right?

-Yes.
-Let's start right away.

DOJIN: After the smoke was first spotted
on the outer wall,

a resident heard an explosion
40 seconds later.

In short, it took about 40 seconds
for the flame to meet the accelerant.

-How many seconds?
-It took 45 seconds.

Did you say 45 seconds?

We found it.

-Did you find the accelerant?
-Yes, just now.

HAND SANITIZER 80% OVER

I think we missed it,
because it was such a daily item.

NZ Cent's premium hand sanitizer
contains 83% ethanol.

It was something anyone could easily get.

It means anyone can be an arsonist.
Let's clean up.

(upbeat music)

Oh, did you finish reading them already?

It has hundreds of pages
on questioning acquaintances.

Reading is food for the mind,
and statements are food for investigation.

So did you get anything out
of what you call "food for investigation"?

I'm still thinking.
(sighs)

Anna, do you have the DNA analysis result?

It's human tissue, but no DNA was found.

MR. BAEK: What?

Human feces have lots of microorganisms.
It accelerated the decomposition.

Right. So, we can't specify an identity.
(chuckles)

After all that fuss, you know.

And the fire station specified
what accelerated the fire.

A hand sanitizer with 83% of ethanol.

No wonder why he's called Bulldozer.

While those next door
were handling the case in a classy way,

what you did was get us a truck of feces

and bark up the wrong tree again?

What are you trying to be,
a poo-eating Jindo dog?

A case needs a twist for it to be fun.

You investigate a case for fun?

And a murder case
can't be investigated openly

until the dead body is found.

Let me meet just one more person.

Don't go aground, prying into things.

There was one more person
that knew about Park Taehoon's death.

Woo Miyoung? She's his ex-girlfriend
who used to live in a studio below his.

-It's not her.
-What if it's her?

You may have a sensitive hunch
about criminal acts,

but you shouldn't suspect her
only after reading her statement.

All right.

HOGAE: "Did anyone hold grudges
against Mr. Park Taehoon?"

She answered,

"He didn't have many friends."

Do you smell it?

-What?
-Smell what?

"Didn't."

HOGAE: She used the past tense.

She knew he was dead.

If she hadn't known,

she would have said,
"He doesn't have many friends."

Don't make a fuss
over that single sentence.

All right, here's one more.

"How was your relationship with him?"

"That man."

The others addressed him by his name.

But she said, "That man."

She strictly kept a distance
from the victim.

This is a characteristic
of an acquaintance murderer.

And the last one.

"Maybe you wanted him to die."

"Why would I do such a thing?" See this?

She should have said,
"No, I didn't do it."

She answered with a question,

because she was hiding something.

Hang on. The two of them studied together
for a civil service exam,

-but only the woman passed it, right?
-Yes.

And they broke up a month
before he went missing.

Right.

So they were on bad terms.

But water and electricity
haven't been used since then.

Could a person dispose of a dead body
without using a drop of water?

Hey. You wrote it below here. Read it.

(grunts)

"I offered her some water, but she said
she wasn't thirsty and declined."

"I placed the bottle on the desk,
but she dropped it, so I put it away."

It's the situation at that time.

Why was she so sensitive
about bottled water?

What are you talking about?
What about bottled water?

Because she used it to dispose
of the body, she hated to even see it.

-What?
-Bottled water...

Jeez, I can't believe
I have to explain this.

All right.

She bought
a lot of bottled water with cash.

A two-liter bottle of water is enough
to flush a toilet once.

HOGAE: She cut off the soft flesh
and intestines.

She chopped and minced them.

Then she flushed them away.

Then she repeated this over and over.

When I hear him explain things,

I sometimes happen
to get the shivers and focus.

MR. BAEK: Hey, Jindo Dog.

You've never killed anyone, have you?

What are you saying?

What about the bones, then?

PIL: Right, the bones.

If she'd flushed the bones away,
the toilet must have been clogged.

How am I supposed to know, punk?
I'm not the culprit.

This is why I want to meet her.

Hold on.

Woo Miyoung, that woman
would still be living in that studio.

(tense music)

She didn't move out?

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY TEAM
TAEWON-GU

I'm getting married soon.

I'll move in with my fiancé.

I see.

FIRE SAFETY INSPECTION RULES

I guess your job is about building fires
and fire protection.

Yes, I'm learning as I work.

Who may you be?

Hello.
(chuckles)

I'm Miyoung's fiancé.

-I see. Congratulations.
-Thank you.

She was already investigated before.

(clears throat)
I wonder what more is left.

Right, the upper management
suddenly made an order

to fully investigate unsolved cases again.

Since you're civil servants like us,
you probably know.

We do what we're told.

Yes, right.

You can go.

Okay, I'll be waiting.

Yes.

Maybe our boss went senile,

but he said he saw Park Taehoon somewhere.

What?

(clears throat)

(tense music)

(Miyoung coughs)

(coughs)

Excuse me. What did you say?

You must be in a tight spot.

Why would I?

Well, because you're getting married.

Right.

(zippers zips)

(tense music)

Oh, no. Hey.

Could you...

Thanks.

Isn't that a burn scar
on the back of your hand?

MIYOUNG: Oh, yes.

I got it while boiling water before.

I see.

PIL: It must have been severe.

You should have acted nonchalantly.

That's how a detective must behave
when talking to a prime suspect.

Do you play cards
with your cards open, you idiot?

I'm sorry. When I saw her burn scar,
it automatically came out.

Just go tell her that

we're suspecting her
as an arsonist and murderer,

so she should get rid of the evidence
and run away.

Unbelievable.

She came in with a cast on back then.

PIL: Could she have worn it
to hide her scar?

You saw her freak out
when I mentioned Park Taehoon was spotted.

It sure is fishy.

(sighs)
So what if it is?

We have no concrete evidence in our hands.

(clicks tongue)

We might close this case unsolved again.

You're making me neurotic.

Let's work things out together, okay?

I like you very much.

I like you, too.

I shouldn't bother talking to you.
Walk to the office, punk.

I have the car keys.

(quirky music)

This was attached earlier today.

I can't believe them. Why did they...

Oh, my.

Aren't you too timid for a detective?

(door closes)

You slept all day long

while I'm working my butt off
to catch the ghost-like culprit

without even getting to eat.

All right. Keep up the good work.

(sighs)

I need your cooperation.

(Hogae slurps)

-STAFF: Here's your fried chicken.
-SEOL: Thank you.

Why do you firefighters live
around the haunted house?

The ghost wouldn't harm us.
We even put out the fire.

Have you recently seen the woman
from Unit 702 on the 8th floor?

I'm not sure.

But I didn't think
that couple would last long.

TAEHOON: I said, get out.

That bastard even drove you home.
You guys seemed so happy.

He's just my senior at work.

And we had a get-together
with everyone else.

Figures. A loser like me
is now way below your level.

What's his level?
A 9th-level civil servant? Or a 7th?

Taehoon, let's not be like this.

I'll help you with your studies. Okay?

Go.

(door slams)

SEOL: The woman seemed very devoted.

After he went missing,
she cried her eyes out.

No one knows what happens
between a man and a woman.

I guess there's something you can't smell.

Maybe you haven't dated much.

(clears throat)

Do you have to date
to know about relationships?

Then I guess you'd have to have
murdered someone to catch a murderer.

There are some things
you can tell at a glance.

For example, a man like you is a no.

A man like me is different than he looks
when you get to know me as a boyfriend.

(coughs)

(suspenseful music)

(camera shutter clicks)

What?

Look at this bastard.

The tires were worn out unevenly.

Is the wheel alignment off or what?

CHIYOUNG: Sir.

Please take a look at this.

What are you making a fuss for?

There was a reason
why Jin Hogae came to Taewon.

(suspenseful music)

If this guy gets caught,

it will be the end of us all.

I'll get him out right away.

(sighs)

I can't go back to jail again. No...

I won't.

TAEHWA: Jindo Dog, this bastard.

He's trying to take it to the end.

I saw the tent. Don't tell me
you're going to sleep there.

Do you know the Sewer Murder Case?

I spent three days and two nights
in that sewer.

I grasped the wind direction, humidity,
and human traces of the crime scene.

That's how the culprit was caught then.

Mm. Figures. Who knows?

The ghost might show up
to tell you who the culprit is.

If he ends up having facial paralysis,
it might get him a promotion.

Good luck.

-(door closes)
-(elevator dings)

Hey, Jindo Dog. You're slow.

Bulldozer, I need your cooperation.

Cooperation on what?

We'll talk inside.

(scoffs)

I'm good with cooperating
but during work hours.

I'm a little tired.

You need to put that tent away.

It's against the Fire Services Act.

It's a temporary investigation HQ.

I'll put it away when the case is solved.

I see. It's a headquarters.

Good luck.

-Hey.
-Yes? Should I come in?

Take this.

Good luck.

That bastard.

(quirky music)

HOGAE: Don't do this.

(Hogae groans)

Stop.

(Hogae shouts)

(groans)

Gosh, it was a nightmare. I'm scared.

I need the bathroom.

(doorbell dings)

(knocking on door)

Yes? Who is it?

HOGAE: It's me.
I need to use the bathroom.

DOJIN: Jeez. He's got to be kidding me.

I need to go.

Hey. Make sure you lift the cover.

Gosh. He's stressing me out.

(toilet flushes)

(tense music)

Hey! Come in for a second.
I have something to show you.

I'd rather not see it.

Your bathtub is weird.

(sighs)

You're weirder.

HOGAE: See? This one is different
from yours. It's upside down, right?

You're right. Hold on.

It's not completely set.
I think this silicone is pretty new.

Go?

Go.

Get the tools.

(thrilling music)

(grunts)

Gosh, it stinks.

What? There's something here.

Hey. Fire crews are too careless.

Here.

Goodness.

(Hogae grunts)

Jeez.

(plastic rustling)

(grunts)

What is this?

DOJIN: Gosh, the smell.

Darn it.

No wonder he's resentful.

(clattering in distance)

Who's there?

HOGAE: It moved
as the decomposition produced gas.

I got something.

Jeez.

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

(camera shutter clicking)

Oh, she's here.

I got a gift set for you, Ms. Yun.
How do you like it?

HONG: You're going to solve
this one, right?

If it ends up as another unsolved case,
call me a mutt instead.

(both chuckle)

(murmurs)
Did you just laugh?

HONG: Shall we begin?

It's 8:38 a.m.,
and we will now begin the autopsy.

Scalpel.

No, give me the scissors.

Just a moment.

HONG: What is it?

Can't you manage
who enters the autopsy room?

(sighs)
Will you please check the warrant?

(thuds)

(tense music)

Detective Jin, are you kidding me?

You can't come in here as you wish.

A mistake in the autopsy warrant?

The prosecution
isn't a warrant-issuing machine.

Lieutenant Jin Hogae,
it was so hard to see you...

that I pulled a small trick.

I was too late to inform my appointment.

Tell me. You rebelled and became a cop.

How was it to be thrown out by your group?

The group you chose

doesn't protect its people.

Your group here sneaks away murderers
to protect its people, right?

It's still not too late.
I'll get you a place in law school, so--

I'm not fired yet, Father.

What is this?

(suspenseful music)

HONG: It's a left clavicle.

The flesh was cut out with a sharp tool.

The bones were separated along the joints.

(clinks)

HONG: So they followed how.

A shoulder bone.

This one's an ulna.

I see a fracture on it.

This is a pelvic girdle.

It's assumed to be a male.

Can you specify a gender
just by looking at the bones?

HONG: I can do the same on pigs
just by eating pork back-bone stew.

A man's pelvis is relatively sharp,

because he doesn't bear a child.

Let's check the damages now.

This is it. How cowardly.

What? What's cowardly?

HONG: A comminuted fracture
on the temporal region.

Numerous depressed fractions
on the occipital region.

DEPRESSED FRACTION: A FRACTURE
DEPRESSED BELOW THE NORMAL SURFACE

You mean he was attacked sideways?

(cracks)

The temporal region
is the thinnest part of one's skull.

And...

the second attack was done here.

The right ulna. There's a defense mark.

(cracks)

(whimpering)

(sobbing)

HONG: And the last attack
was on the head again.

(cracks)

This is what killed him.

Assuming from this semicircle mark,

the weapon is presumed to be
a blunt instrument that's round at the end

like a hammer.

Besides, I see signs of infection.

An inflammatory response means

that the injured bone
had a recovery process.

He didn't die right away.

HONG: That's plausible.

The bones are the record
of one's life and death.

(tense music)

This corpse...

has something it shouldn't have.

(camera shutter clicks)

(camera shutter clicks)

(music stops)

You're working on it all day
without even eating anything.

(in English)
Oh, thank you.

(in Korean)
This is driving me crazy.

A fire scene tells lies.

Things get burned and damaged

or they get washed away
by the water firefighters sprayed.

It becomes even harder to find evidence.

It's like a tough picture puzzle.

Tell me about it.

DOJIN: Wait.

Why is this here?

PUTTING OUT A MOUNTAIN FIRE

HONG:
This is the foreign substance number one.

It's part of the tool used
to dismember the body.

It probably snapped and got stuck
in the process of cutting out the flesh.

Considering the blade angle,

I'm guessing
it was a sharp and long fillet knife.

HONG: The DNA from the bones
corresponds with Park Taehoon.

They aimed for the temporal region,
the weakest part of the skull.

This means the murder
was thoroughly planned out.

So what if we have
circumstantial evidence?

All the evidence is gone due to the fire.

No, that's the biggest trace.

Hey. Why is Bulldozer taking it so slow?

I don't know. This is not like him.

-(phone buzzes)
-Oh, it's them.

Hi.

SEOL: Pil, hurry over here with Jindo Dog.

(giggles)

Hey, we're a little busy right now.

Jindo Dog is coming now!

Will you go to the fire station?

Yes.

This woman is not treating me
like a human, is she?

You can say that.

Stop laughing, you punk.

(upbeat music)

HOGAE: What are you guys doing?

Let's say we're reconstructing the fire.

Here.

When the fire broke out,
the windows were only 4 cm open.

DOJIN: That's why we thought
it was a closed-door fire.

But something else came in
through that crack of the windows.

Newspaper.

Newspaper easily absorbs flammable liquid.

However...

...the ink also spreads.

Okay, so what are you going to do?

Check for yourself.

FIREFIGHER: We're all set.

-Do I just set it on fire?
-Hey.

Put on gloves.

You're too ignorantly careless.

Don't make a fuss
over a lighter flame, you fools.

Don't underestimate the oil mist,
or you'll pay the price.

Put them on.

-Are you ready?
-ALL: Yes.

Let's begin.

(suspenseful music)

GASOLINE

DIESEL

KEROSENE

It's working. It's done.

DOJIN: Kisoo, put it out.

They used newspaper as a trailer

to start the fire
without actually going there.

The accelerant was a kind of lighter oil

that was more flammable than thinner,
but less flammable

than gasoline and kerosene.

(suspenseful music)

DOJIN: This was the trick.

They used this technique
to send the flames upstairs.

The flames spread to the curtains,

and the fire burned the bed,
causing the secondary fire.

The flames on the bedding
spread to the floor

and met the hand sanitizer

with 83% ethanol on the floor,

which led to the explosion.

(blasts)

That's why the floor was burned severely.

Goodness. This sure
is the reconstruction of the arson.

(tense music)

Hold on. This is...

It's time to grease the cuffs.

Let's go get Woo Miyoung.

(ominous music)

(foreboding music)

(breathes nervously)

(gasps)

(tense music)

(screaming)

(Miyoung whimpering)

-HOGAE: Let's take the stairs.
-What? Gosh.

PIL: Thanks for your cooperation.

Ms. Woo Miyoung!

(music halts)

(tense music)

I see a trace of fire on the window frame.

She started the fire here.
That's how she got the burn.

Gosh, that's hot!

(groans)

It's me. Did you locate Woo Miyoung?

ANNA: We're checking
the target's PN signal.

PN SIGNAL: SIGNAL MARKING THE SERVICE AREA
OF THE BASE STATION ACCESSED BY USER

FIRE
CAUTION: FLAMMABLES

HOGAE:
Three lighter oil containers are missing.

I think she ran off.

Shouldn't we check
the CCTV camera footage?

It'll be too late, then.

Why take the oil
if she was simply running off?

(sighs)

Darn it.

NAM GYEONGHAE AND WOO MIYOUNG

Detective, today's her wedding.

(background chatter)

Where is Ms. Woo Miyoung?

She has nothing to do with me now.

Did the wedding get called off?

After your visit,

she started acting weird.

She suddenly wanted
to call off the wedding.

(cell phone buzzing)

Hello?

Detective, Ms. Woo Miyoung's phone
just turned on.

Give me the location.

(horn beeps)

(horn beeps)

Ma'am, please let the car through.

Please move so that the car can pass.

Ma'am.

OFFICER: What are you here for?

I'm here...

to turn myself in.

OFFICER: Pardon? What did you say?

(gasps)

Why did you do that to me?

TAEHOON: Tell me.

Why?

Please...

(screams)

(whimpering)

(yelps)

(screams)

Stay away from me!

Stay away!

Stay away!

(sobbing)

Taehoon.

Take me with you, okay?

That will do.

Right?

(ominous music)

(sobs)

She's got a flammable material. Watch out!

-Kisoo!
-Got it.

(tires screeching)

(sobbing)

Woo Miyoung!

Stop!

(suspenseful music)

(panting)

Bring me a fire extinguisher!

DOJIN: Everyone, step behind.

(somber music)

-Goodness.
-(door opens)

Hey.

(door closes)

EVIDENCE

(grunts)

You hid so many things

that you hung around
without getting to move, right?

(tense music)

It stinks.

Suck every drop of it, please.

-It's taking too much time.
-Sorry about this.

HOGAE: You probably became anxious
to hear that the body was found.

You studied a lot,
working on the Construction Safety Team.

CASE STUDY ON ARSON
WITH THE USE OF A TRAILER

You majored in Chemical Engineering.

Did you use this to dismember the body?

You put this much effort
into concealing the murder.

Why did you try to die?

I thought...

he might let me go
if I turned myself in and went to jail.

Ever since you came by,

I kept seeing him.

MIYOUNG: Let's call off...

our wedding.

I'm sorry...

things turned out this way.

(sighs)

(tense music)

(metal creaking)

(gasps)

(gasps)

MIYOUNG: I felt like he'd follow me
for the rest of my life.

This is all because of you.

Maybe our boss went senile,

but he said he saw Park Taehoon somewhere.

(coughs)

Excuse me.

It wasn't me who called for Park Taehoon.

It was your guilt.

Why did you kill him to this extent?

I don't know.

There's a reason to kill someone
meticulously and deliberately.

What do you say?

No.

There's no such thing.

Without a reason,

you murdered your ex-boyfriend,

dismembered his body, and disposed of it.

If this is true,

you're an evil psychopath
who shouldn't be part of this society.

(sobs)

But that's not who you are.

I know from experience
of catching such punks.

They don't even bat an eye
even if they get arrested.

Please...

(groans)

Can we please stop this?

(sighs)

Did he blackmail you?

Why didn't you report it?

I couldn't!

(sobbing)

I had no choice!

It can't be helped.

Right?

We're not ready.

You understand me, right?

JASUNG K OB-GYN CLINIC

MIYOUNG: But then,

he blackmailed me with it.

I'm honestly exhausted.

Let's break up.

I'm sorry.

Fine, do as you want.

(Taehoon slurps, sighs)

But let me make one thing clear.

I'm going to sue you.

What?

Sue me for what?

Your abortion.

That level-seven guy is clueless, right?

I don't think that's right for him.

Also, would it be bad
for a civil servant to have a record?

I got everything with me.

MEDICAL RECORD

LESS THAN 22 WEEKS PREGNANT,
CURETTAGE PERFORMED

It wasn't my doing!

You got pregnant.

And you got the abortion.

(scoffs)

What is wrong with you?

(cries)

Taehoon.

Let's not do this. Please?

Then...

pay for my credit card bill this month.

I paid for it last month.

Exactly!

A poor want-to-be civil servant
has no money!

(dramatic music)

MIYOUNG: I was caught...

in a trap with no exit.

(dramatic music)

(flies buzzing)

MURDER WITHOUT BODY

(knocks on door)

ADDRESS AND NAME NOT A MATCH

HOGAE: Ms. Woo Miyoung.

(sighs)

Your medical record was forged.

What?

JASUNG K OB-GYN CLINIC

MEDICAL RECORD

Abortion itself was illegal.

Why would a hospital give such a record?

No way.

HOGAE: Come in and take her.

It can't be.

What I did was all because of this.

No!

No!

No!

(wailing)

No!

TAEWON POLICE STATION
LIEUTENANT JIN HOGAE

(keyboard clacking)

I get that she's a murderer,
but I feel bad for her.

What are you talking about?
It's not just a simple murder case.

MR. BAEK: She dismembered a body,
disposed of it, and even committed arson.

Snap out of it. She's not worth pity.

If you do,
what will that make Park Taehoon?

That's not what I mean.

I feel bad for Woo Miyoung
when I think of Park Taehoon,

but then I feel bad for Park Taehoon
when I think of Woo Miyoung.

She ruined her life
over a forged medical record.

They shouldn't have been together
in the first place.

What do you think, Detective Jin?

I don't think
about those related to a case.

Park Taehoon may have been a scum,

but that doesn't mean
he deserved to be killed.

And Woo Miyoung needs
to pay for what she did.

I can finally sleep in peace.
I'm going home first.

Bye.

(footsteps retreating)

(door opens, closes)

(elevator dings)

What?

You arrested the culprit.
Why are you still out here?

Well, I rented this house.

The thought of restoring it
gives me a headache.

Do you want a drink?

I'm good.

(sighs)

(soft chuckle)

You're such a bother.

(clatters)

-Give me your hand.
-Why?

Your hand.

Jeez.

You dashed there bare-handed
just to put out the fire. How foolish.

Forget it. It's no big deal.

Hey.

It doesn't seem that serious.
You're such a nuisance.

I said I'm okay.

(clatters)

Why don't you just camp out here?

Hey.

It's against the Fire Services Act
to block the fireplug.

You need to put all these away.
That chair, too.

Fire crews are so fussy.

DOJIN: Don't act up.

If there's a fire,
the police need the fire crew's help.

If there's a crime,

the fire crew needs the police's help.

Jeez. Knock it off.

If you two get hurt,
you need my first aid treatment.

How childish.

Hey, Jin...

Mutt.

You're good to be a mutt,
but don't be a crazy dog.

(chuckles)

Look, Ms. Minnow.

What did you say?

This world needs a crazy dog, too.

They can recognize other crazy dogs

and protects civilians
from getting bitten.

Just at the right time,
I see one over there.

Long time no see.
I thought you became a wreck.

But actually, you're looking great.

Do you walk all right?

Thanks to you, I spent my time
at ease in the medical room.

I hear it's manners to greet the detective

who handcuffed you
once you get discharged.

Mr. Ma Taehwa, you're under arrest
under suspicion of murdering Seok Mijung.

EMERGENCY ARREST WARRANT

(suspenseful music)

You should greet the person
who bailed you out.

Right, this is...

Mr. Ma Taehwa, who's going around
shamelessly after murdering someone.

Do you still think I murdered her?

On the day and time
Ms. Seok Mijung was murdered,

Mr. Ma Taehwa was trafficking drugs
in Yeongdeungpo.

We got the CCTV camera footage

and seized the drugs he trafficked.

It's physically impossible for me

to be in two places at the same time.

And aren't you shameless
to be a detective...

after murdering someone?

Right.

Beware of this punk.

Once a dog...

has a taste of blood,

it can never forget about it.

Beware.

Do you see the difference
between the police and the fire crew?

You guys have civilians
visit you with gratitude.

But we have criminals visit us
with grudges.
