JEON Juno?

Mr. NAM?

My name is JEON Juno. I've just been assigned here.

I brought the papers.

Get rid of that name tag.

I thought it'd help you recognize me.

What did you do before coming here?

I was at a bank.

You must be good with money then.

Did you read the file?

Yes, The patient is complaining of a different sickness every 1 20 days.

Thats because he cant stay in the hospital more than 1 20 days

for the same thing. That's the only way he gets the money.

He's not a patient. He's nothing but a con artist.

- Four thousand. - I see you and raise you 6,000.

Remember what I told you. Do as I say.

KANG Ki-tae?

Good Iuck.

AIIow me to get to my point. Heres a cancellation form.

If you sign here, we'II return your premium in full.

When you tried to flog me the insurance, you kissed my ass.

I have a Iegitimate claim!

Why are you coming down with a new sickness every 1 20 days?

I cant help it if I'm sick. Even the doctor says so.

Is that why you came to this particular hospital?

You could have been admitted

to a hospital near your house.

Ask the doctor.

Did that man tell you to say that?

And who are you?

Your file says your car

was hit from behind and completely totaled.

That means you didn't cause this accident on purpose.

Why would anyone do this on purpose?

It's hard making a Iiving as a cab driver.

I should know.

But...

Isn't it more important to set a better example for your kids?

Were you really a cab driver?

Yes. For a while.

So how could you be so native? Don't Iet anyone catch on to that.

I'II remember that.

I Iiked your speech. don't know if it'II work though.

I think he understands what he has to do now.

Hello?

Can we still collect on a policy if theres been a suicide?

Oh... Well...

Has someone passed away in your family?

If you tell me your registration number,

I'II confirm your policy.

But there are special provisions.

What do you mean?

The policy is null if suicide occurs within 2 years of purchase date.

Are you...

contemplating suicide?

I know it isn't my place to say,

but perhaps you should reconsider.

We might be able to pay out the policy if you were to die,

but it'II Ieave a terrible wound

in the hearts of your Ioved ones.

I'm not telling you this as an employee.

I've seen a family member die

before my very eyes.

And who was that?

It was my younger brother. We were both young.

How...?

He was bullied a Iot as a kid.

What is your name?

I'm JEON Juno and I'm at the evaluation desk.

Thank you.

Sure.

"Under no circumstances

can the insurer reveal personal information to client. "

Mina? Are you home?

You have one new message.

First message.

Happy birthday, honey.

I'll cook you a special dinner!

Look at all this food.

Are you up?

How did you get home so early?

I wanted to surprise you.

With your snoring?

Let's have cake instead.

Why?

That'II take too Iong to prepare.

Thats if you do it. Hold on.

I have to be back at the hospital by ten.

I'm sorry.

Then we wont have time to cut the cake.

I don't know about that.

What are you doing?

KANG Ki-tae.

We have to go to court if we don't get his consent.

It's hard to prove the patient and the hospital are in this together.

Thats why we need a special investigator.

But isn't that a Iittle...

Those people are all frauds.

We need to stay sharp.

Do you hear me?

Yes, sir.

Here.

This client wants to talk to a new insurance agent.

He says his old one has a bad attitude.

He specifically asked for you.

House 43?

Thats the public bath.

- Its that house over there. - I see.

Be careful of passing trains.

- The barriers are broken. - Thank you.

PARK Chung-bae

Who are you?

Well...

Someone who has a good job makes a visit to this humble place.

You have a nice place.

I heard one of

our employees was rather rude to you.

Bo-hun?

Bo-hun! We have a guest over at our house!

Bo-hun!

Well? Aren't you going to come out?

You don't have to bother him. He must be studying.

It's rude of him not to greet a guest.

Bo-hun!

Bo-hun!

We don't have many guests over,

and I'm already old and useless.

You seem Iike a good man. Perhaps you can talk to my son?

Give him some words of advice?

I think that might help him.

Why don't you Iook in his room?

Me?

Yes.

AII right.

This room?

Bo-hun!

Bo-hun! No!

Why have you done this?

What haven't I given you?

PARK Chung-bae asked for you.

Have you met him before this?

I've never seen him before.

I don't know why he asked for me.

So you went to their house

and saw his son hanging from the ceiling?

But...

it might not be a suicide.

What do you mean?

I was in total shock at first,

but when I turned to Chung-bae,

he wouldn't Iook me in the eye.

I heard what happened.

Did you get any sleep?

Yes.

There is a possibility it's not a suicide?

Here.

His entire family is insured.

Where does he get the money to pay $1,000 a month?

It says hes a sheet metal worker,

but I think hes out of work.

Would he kill his own son for $30,000?

He's not his real son.

The kids name is Bo-hun.

It's his wifes son from a former marriage.

This is for the police to decide.

The family took the body?

Has there been an autopsy?

Were not allowed to disclose our files to private companies.

What are you talking about? I'm a witness!

They're scattering his ashes today.

You can meet the family there.

This is our file on PARK Chung-bae.

This could be a murder.

Leave it on the desk.

Where did it go?

Those insurance guys always try to get out of paying up.

I was the one who discovered your sons body.

I don't know how this may sound,

but is there anything I can do to help you?

Thank you for coming.

We need your help.

He already drew up the claim?

Even before they finished scattering the ashes on the Iake.

How could somebody do this?

His family took his body without any autopsy.

The cops see this as a suicide.

I have a suggestion. I'd Iike to go back

and check all his past records.

Are you certain this was a murder?

Yes.

I know PARK Chung-bae came for an insurance policy.

He and I went to the same school.

He made a sudden visit to take out a policy for all his family.

Going to school finally paid off.

He came to you first? Were you two close?

CIose?

No one was close to Chung-bae. He was odd.

He'd feed dead chickens

hung in the cage while humming a song.

We knew he killed them.

Why?

His mother hanged herself when he was in the first grade.

Those rumors didn't come out of nowhere. Theres more.

One of our classmates drowned.

We think he pushed her in the water.

He used to be in Iove with her.

Was there any evidence?

No. No one could prove anything.

I must be getting old. My memory is failing me.

This is a collection of the students old poems.

It's cute.

You're here about insurance?

Has there been an accident?

Did something happen to the kids?

Today, I caught a dragonfly.

It had pretty wings. After staring at them,

I plucked them off,, one by one.

That night, my mother appeared in my dreams

and plucked my arms off, like I did to the dragonfly.

I cried and cried. She left.

I won 't see her again. I was sad.

Hello, Mr. PARK.

I understand you stopped by.

I was here everyday. I need the money.

My son died,

and we don't even have the money to buy flowers.

Give me the money.

Let's talk in there.

We never missed a payment.

Why can't we have the money?

Well...

The police haven't clarified the cause of death yet.

It was suicide.

That's your opinion.

It hasn't been decided officially yet.

I see.

You shouldn't come here. You should wait at home.

Well contact you as soon as we know something.

Where do you Iive?

Pardon?

Where do you Iive?

Were not allowed to give out that information.

Chung-bae had a missing thumb

He must have health insurance.

It's not here.

The files not in our database, but we still have the contract.

Did that man really kill his son for insurance money?

I think so.

He comes here everyday at 3, Iooking for you.

I say, "He's not here." But he never Iistens to me.

He always waits for you until you show up.

It should be around here.

Does he cause any trouble?

No. He just waits silently.

But that's even scarier.

Here we are.

Thank you.

This is it?

This is strange. I know it was in here.

Sir?

Chung-bae was one of many

who cut off their fingers during the IMF crisis.

You've heard of them.

They'd freeze their hands

to Iose all feeling in their fingers.

Then theyd cut through a finger with a knife.

Thats awful.

What did the police say?

There was no evidence to prove it was intentional.

We had no choice but to pay out the claim.

- Did you find out anything? - No.

Just that he was a troubled child.

He bought insurance voluntarily.

He was here everyday.

I heard.

He cut off his own finger, and he killed his son for money.

He takes the train for 3 hours

to come here everyday. And he's rejected everyday.

Imagine how he must feel.

Dongmin? Would you Iike a piece of candy?

Do you want candy?

Which one?

- Which one? - That one.

No?

You never talk about work these days.

I don't?

I've been waiting for you to talk to me.

I don't know what to make of this client.

Who?

You have 30 new messages.

First message.

Eighth message.

Ninth message.

What the hell?

Twentieth message.

He called you? How did he your number?

He stole the phone bills from my mailbox.

And he Ieft 30 messages?

Mina sent you?

Shes very worried about you.

That man could kill you.

Ever heard of psychopaths?

No.

Take a Iook at these.

They're all crying.

- Except for this person. - Right.

Most people can tell the difference,

but psychopaths can't.

To them, these all Iook the same.

They were born without the ability to feel.

They don't feel anyone elses pain,

and they don't feel guilt.

For their benefit, they can do whatever they can

to get what they want. They can even do cruel things.

Are they different from psychos?

Psychos don't know what it is they are doing.

They kill a child just because they want to.

But psychopaths are different.

They kill a child to get insurance money.

They see people as objects who stand in their way.

- Is this a disease? - I see it as such.

- Is there no cure? - No

AII we can do is isolate them from society.

But they are human beings, too.

They do whatever they can to realize their goal.

Why do you think

he called you to the scene?

It wasn't a coincidence.

He's chosen you as his prey.

Sociological Behavior Study on Psychopaths This is a dissertation I wrote.

Read it.

You'II see human beings in a totally new Iight.

Twenty-eighth message.

I'm sorry, Juno...

Twenty-ninth message.

Is JEON Juno here?

He's not coming in today.

Why not?

He's not feeling well.

Hello.

I know it wasn't easy to come here, but no decision has been made.

Look. We really need the money.

PIease try to be patient.

- Why won't you give it to us? - We never said we wouldn't.

The police haven't confirmed the COD.

You saw him with your own eyes.

It was suicide!

Is that why you called me there? To have me check for myself?

Give us the money.

You knew me before this. Didn't you?

Let us have the money.

You are making a big mistake

if you think you can use me.

We really need the money.

I can't take much more.

That's never going to happen. I'II do what's best for your son.

Why are you doing this? You have a great job.

Even your girlfriend has a good job.

You...You...

You killed your own son!

Don't you have any feelings?

Juno! He's a client!

You don't have to come here anymore.

What?

The decisions been made. Were issuing your insurance payout.

This way please.

You must be pleased.

What?

You won't have to see him again.

This isn't over.

Juno. You saw the papers.

His wife is insured, too.

He'II get $300,000 if she dies.

What?

He's proved to himself he can get away with this.

It's only a matter of time.

How can a person do that?

You still think of him as a person?

I heard Seung-kyu went to see you.

I know he can be creepy,

but I thought he could help you with that client of yours.

That man sounds Iike he's disturbed.

That case is closed.

What?

I never knew insurance could kill people.

When my family went through the difficult times,

we managed with the insurance my dad Ieft behind,

so I used to think of it as a good thing, as a Iifesaver.

I guess I was wrong.

Mrs. SHlN Yi-hwa

I'm sorry if this letter comes as a surprise.

I am police off,icer.

I know it's heartbreaking but when we look into this case,

we've come to believe your husband killed your son.

It's clear he killed his son

who's not his blood for the money.

He has you insured as well. We fear for your life.

There's no evidence but

definately he's gonna harm you

to get the insurance money.

You must leave this man,

or at least cancel the policy.

We wish you well.

PIease.

Either get a divorce

or cancel the policy under your name.

You could be in danger.

Why are you telling me this?

You can talk to my husband.

One person is dead already, and one more could die.

Are insurance agents always this compassionate?

I'm not here as an employee.

Then?

I once Iost a family member.

My brother...

was always Iying in the bed. Cause he was always sick.

My parents took good care of him.

They Ioved him so much.

That made me angry, so I used to send him to the store

to buy me a bread for me which actually I didn't Iike.

You idiot!

AII I did was watch.

I hate you!

Im sorry, Juno.

And then... He...

Jun-suk!

Jun-suk!

You blame yourself for his death.

I don't think I can bear it

if someone else gets killed.

Can you really help me?

I meant every word I said.

Then kill my husband for me.

I should Ieave.

I knew it.

Stop meddling if you don't really care.

If you need it, I'II send you the cancellation form.

I am all alone. I got on the swings.

I kept going up, up,

faster and faster.

I was fine.

I fell into a dark place.

I couldn't see anything.

But I was fine.

What is this?

Mina?

Mina? What is it?

Beckys... Beckys...

- What about Becky? - Beckys dead...

- Her heads been cut off,! - Calm down, Mina.

I'II be right there.

Let's call the police.

It's not over with that client. Is it?

The police called.

Detective OH wants you to call him.

Move aside.

Come closer.

Do you recognize him?

No. I don't.

Your business card was in his pocket.

What?

Bring me that.

Have you seen this?

No.

What about this? I'd Iike you to take a Iook.

You say he killed his son,

and is planning to kill his wife.

And HAN Seung-kyu was killed while trying to write a thesis.

Chung-bae must think I sent him.

Okay. Lets say thats true.

You say he killed your dog.

Why would he do things

to attract the polices attention?

I think it's a warning. He's telling me to stay away.

Stay away?

I went to his house to warn his wife.

Driving me crazy... Hey, insurance guy!

That could constitute a crime of slander!

AII right.

This all started

because you believe he killed his son.

Yes.

You should go to his house. I'm sure youll find something.

Look what he did when his son died.

He clocked in at the factory around that time.

We have witnesses who saw him at work.

He got heavily into gambling. Hes knee deep in debt.

What about the camera?

There was no memory card inside.

What about that envelope?

The writing on it says...

You mean this?

You think this can stand as credible evidence?

I know there are crazy people who kill for no reason,

but this only Iooks Iike

you're trying to cheat a hardworking man.

Don't go to the hospital for the time being.

Why not?

HAN Seung-kyu was killed.

Beckys head was ripped off,

and Seung-kyus been killed.

What have you done?

I didn't do anything.

I just wanted to save a poor womans Iife.

Is that so wrong?

Do you Ieave your patients to die?

No, But...

it's up to the patient to decide whether he wants treatment.

Did that woman ask you for your help?

Then why would you do this?

I don't understand you.

What is turning you into this?

Mina!

Mina.

PIease... I can't Iose you now.

This is just too hard.

You wake up screaming at night,

you always have a blank Iook on your face,

and you have to drink to get to sleep!

I'm a doctor.

My job is to help people.

But I feel Iike I can't help you.

AII I can do is smile. It's so hard.

You have 30 new messages.

First message.

psychopaths tend to show no regards for their own lives,

just the way they treat others' lives.

These people don 't have hearts.

Tae-yun?

Can you Iook up the name of Yi-hwas former husband?

KO Min-kyu, born 1 970.

MOON Chang-sik, born 1 963.

It Iooks Iike PARK Chung-bae is her third husband.

Mr. NAM!

How much can we get?

You can receive up to $300,000

on disability insurance.

Try to be quick. Don't drag on with it Iike Iast time.

You knew me before this.

How do you know me?

Can we still collect on a policy if theres been a suicide?

His wife did bring us the severed arms,

but an animal got to it first. It was too contaminated.

We couldn't attach them. It was too Iate.

Hurt

Are you in pain?

My hands... My hands hurt.

You don't have hands anymore.

See for yourself.

My husband will never work again.

Let's go.

Don't you have a heart?

I said Iets go.

Wait.

If he dies, do we still get insurance?

You really are something.

This...

must have hurt Iike hell without anesthetic.

I haven't seen this kind of work in a while.

You know...

If it was just a finger,

we could have Iet it slide.

But you took both his arms.

And now you're asking for money.

Anyone can see this is bullshit

Do you think this makes sense?

Who are you?

Maam.

Are you aware insurance fraud can get you 1 0 years in the slammer?

You're definitely going in since you took both arms.

Is that what you want? Prison for 1 0 years?

I'II keep this short.

Signing this form terminates the policy.

We cant get you the $300,000, but

you can get back all the payments.

Just sign here, and you won't have to go to jail.

I'II come back to see you again.

Take your time and think this over.

I've never seen a woman Iike that before.

Even if she's a killer, she's a woman.

She'II probably come around.

Leave her to me.

Thanks.

What is it?

Nothing.

Let's go.

You're not coming?

I once got stabbed right aboutthere.

You've reached the home of JEON Juno.

From Dongbu Life Insurance?

My girlfriend's been kidnapped.

She must be at Chung-baes house.

I'm heading there right now. Will you send me backup?

What are you talking about? I heard he Iost both his arms.

It's not him. It's his wife!

She broke into my house.

She used my girlfriends keys.

Hello? Detective?

I'm a Iittle busy right now. Let's talk at the station.

No! Detective!

Hello? Hello?

Someones still in there!

But...

- Someones still in there! - We have to get out! Now!

Someones still in there!

Shes still in there!

SHIN Yi-hwas crimes all occurred in this house.

Beside the place where the body was found firstly,

Four other bodies have been discovered under the floor.

SHIN Yi-hwa intricately planned

the premeditated murders,

and it seems she took her own Iife

after her crimes were uncovered.

Experts say SHIN Yi-hwa

was a clinical psychopath who had no feeling of remorse,

much Iike the serial murderer Yoo whe astonished the world...

HAN Seung-kyu swallowed the memory card in the Iast minute

to Iet the world know the crime.

Your girlfriend...

was kidnapped while taking out the trash.

And she made her watch

as she killed MA Yong-sik...

That must have been awful. SHIN Yi-hwa was a monster.

She shouldn't have Iived among us.

I apologize.

There was nothing we could do

till an actual crime occurred.

May I...

May I see her picture?

She was in pain.

She was screaming.

She wanted me...

to help her.

She was just a person Iike us.

Mina? I'm here.

Mina?

Help, Help!

I'm tired of running away.

What do you think?

In the end, were all the same.

Weren't you glad afterwards?

After all, you hated your brother. Weren't you glad when he died?

You and I, were no different.

You want to kill me, too, don't you?

Youre right! I killed my brother!

I don't want to see anyone else killed before my eyes.

I want to be forgiven.

And that makes me human.

That makes me human.

Five Months Later

What kind of idiot does 140 through downtown Seoul?

In the end, the driver died in the triple rear-end collision.

There were no other deaths,

but the victims are paralyzed.

The drivers insured for $400,000.

And his wife wants to get that money.

She's refusing

to give any money to the victims.

You know we don't issue payouts if the owner was negligent.

Were supposed to meet here.

Hello? Yes?

I'm surrounded by paintings.

Were on the fourth floor.

LEE Hong-yun

Don't you want any?

Hong-yun? Is there anything you want?

I promised to get you a present once you got out of the hospital.

Do you want a doll?

Or a new pair of shoes?

I want a puppy.

Again? You Iost him once before.

I didn't Iose him, mom.

Don't tell anyone about this,

but I...
