"LEE Chung-ah" Were you startled by this morning's frigid weather?

"YOON Se-a" Sporadic snowfall is expected throughout the day.

Snow in March is a common sight now.

Many of you will feel that the winter is getting longer

due to heavy snowfalls in March and April recently,

but according to Weather Service, the winters aren't as cold.

Frozen period of Han River has shrunken by 1O days.

Many elderlies have said that they used to

walk across the frozen river in their day,

and Han used to unfreeze completely by April.

But it's rare to see the river freeze up like that recently.

It's pre-rush hour, so the traffic on river bridges are breezy.

"DIRECTED BY LEE SOO-YOUN" Let's come back after weather forecast.

Unusually hot weather may feel like summer has come early.

Monsoon will begin much earlier and more rain will fall,

so please prepare for it well before it starts.

Due to rain clouds moving in from the west coast,

Seoul region will get 10-20mm of rain.

"HWAJUNG CITY"

The clouds will reach Chungcheong province overnight,

and the southern regions will reach over 20°C for a while.

This was Weather Service.

Thank you, let's listen to a song.

"BLUEBEARD"

What'd you like for lunch?

Well...

Mixed rice for me!

I want mixed rice, I want it.

What about that pork place?

Order me mixed rice!

Baby, not there!

Wrong hole...

It's my first time doing anal...

Baby, deeper, harder... Go deeper...

Deeper?

Why are you laughing at, bitch?

It's coming...

The baby is coming.

Ma'am, you mustn't move, we're almost done.

Doctor!

Pardon me.

No, it's okay, you can come in.

I'll do a clean up.

Okay.

It's already hot, you can turn on the AC.

So that's where the remote was.

You should've asked.

I thought the heat didn't bother you,

since you always wear long sleeves.

What happened to your forehead?

It's from that patient earlier.

No way.

Medical dictionary fell.

What?

I haven't got a bookshelf yet,

so I stacked my books by the bed.

Those books are heavy, and they fell on me.

You should really get your place organized.

Always tripping and attacked by things.

I know, but I pass out when I get home.

Why are there so many colonoscopy patients here?

It's the opposite, there aren't many clinics.

We're the only one that does colonoscopy.

That's why head doctor says this is a gold mine,

and Why'd anyone open a clinic in Gangnam like an idiot...

No, he's right...

How about lunch?

No, could you just get me some snacks?

Snacks?

Yes.

I'm starting a diet, I want to be a fit middle age.

- Thank you. - Okay.

"MYSTERY MASTERPIECE SERIES"

Sir, wait! I'm getting off.

Sorry!

Doctor! I signed for your package.

- Come in. - Thank you.

Afternoon.

Use this to detach meat from the bone cleanly!

Dad, dad! You'll get hurt!

I thought you shopped online, but I guess not.

It's from a woman?

Yes.

It's humid, isn't it?

I thought it was a bit damp.

You should turn on the boiler slightly.

It'll dry the place up.

We got it all fixed in the spring so it should work nicely.

I see, thank you.

Did you have dinner?

No, I'll make something.

You're welcome to have it here.

No, it's okay.

I'm gonna take a shower and grab a beer, I'm really tired.

- Okay, see you. - Take care.

Not again, father!

What about it? Raw beef is okay.

But that's pork!

"I still get your mail. How long must I do this?"

"HAPPY GRADUATION LOVE, SU-JUNG"

- "UNSUBSCRIBE?" _ IIYESII

You're here early.

Good morning.

Getting a refill.

Don't come in so early.

I won't give you a raise.

It's busier than expected, right?

Yeah, there are so many patients here.

It was crazy.

When I first proposed opening a clinic here,

my wife was so against it.

When someone asked her where my clinic was,

she'd say, "that town where serial killing was rampant."

She'd just go on and on.

Before these apartments began rising,

this town was the mecca of unsolved serial killings.

But my wife stopped saying that.

Opening a clinic in Gangnam is a waste, too much rent.

Thanks to the new health care, everyone's getting colonoscopies.

And this area is not bad to live.

It's a golf haven.

There are 3 fields nearby.

Boss, about the contract...

You play golf?

What?

Didn't you have a season pass?

Reserve it for me, let's go play together.

I'll buy.

I sold it, to pay for alimony.

Oh yeah?

I see. Have a good one.

Coffee here is so much better.

I didn't golf because it was too far.

What a douchebag!

- We finished up early for once. - Isn't it great?

Let's get coffee and relax.

Is that real too?

My boyfriend...

Again?

You're a real fox.

Where do you meet these guys?

Let me come with, okay?

Come back at 2 after lunch.

He'll be first on the list.

The thing is...

I have to get ready for the dinner customers.

Couldn't he do it now?

Hello, doctor!

My father-in-law missed his appointment.

We got a group dinner, so I have to run back.

I'm starved! Let's go eat!

- How's beef wraps? - Great!

Doctor, can't you help us?

Sure.

Sir, you go ahead. They're acquaintances.

Padron?

He's my landlord, I owe them a lot.

You two can go ahead, I'll join you soon.

Mi-yun, thanks.

Please bring him in.

I can finish up, you go ahead.

Will you be okay?

It's almost done.

But fetch me some snacks please.

Qkay...

Insert the knife below the joint,

and carve it like this,

so it's easy to detach the joint.

Arms and legs at Hanam Bridge...

Torso at Dongho Bridge...

By doing that, they won't float till April.

Fingerprint?

If you're worried about it, cut off the fingers.

Throw them away separately.

The head is still in the fridge.

It's lunch break, sir.

Is that so? I didn't know.

How did you get in?

The door was open.

Mi-yun must've not locked it.

Anyway, consultation starts at 2.

I'll Wait.

"YOUNG-HOON AT 11:30"

Who are you?

- Good morning. - Hello.

Leaving so early on the weekend?

Did you greet him? He's the doctor living in #301.

Say hello.

Is this your son?

Yes, this is my boy.

Dad, breakfast is ready.

Is that so?

Thank you for yesterday.

We had to delay the colonoscopy 3 times.

It was nothing at all.

- I better go. - Thanks again.

Bye.

Dad!

Hey, Young-hoon!

So they're partnering up with a company with a new drug,

that means the stock price will jump.

Over 10 folds.

It's a scoop only I know, you know?

Dad, stop wasting money.

This is the real deal.

Your clinic going bankrupt is one thing,

but I'm so glad you didn't get into stock market.

Mom thinks so too.

But this is a 3-month temp gig,

and who'll pay for your summer school in Canada?

Still, no stock market, buy lotto tickets instead.

And yet, you don't decline to go.

I'm gonna toss that!

Wow! Dad, look at that!

Headless body surfaced on Han River!

Stop it.

Social media is full of urban legends...

You kids are the problem.

Sir, over there, yeah, this is fine.

Young-hoon, we're here. Wake up.

I'll call later.

After 8 PM, I got after-school class.

Okay.

Bye.

- Auntie, can I get a treat? - Just one each.

No way!

- Wow, Dr. BYUN! - What brings you here?

I had dinner with my family nearby.

Did you come here for dinner?

No, I live right there.

You live around here? Me too!

I thought you were at the apartment.

No, I grew up here, this is my stomping ground.

Good to know that we live close.

I know.

- See you tomorrow. - Good night.

- Bye! - Bye.

Auntie, here.

No way, just one each.

I'll take these two.

Jesus!

You're home now?

What brings you here?

I brought something to thank you again

You didn't have to...

It's diaphragm, like human diaphragm.

What?

Look at your face.

It's beef thin skirt.

It's like diaphragm in human.

Skirts are very rare since there's so little of it.

Right, thank you.

Sure.

You bought some beer? Skirt is great with a drink.

If you closed up, would you like a drink?

Should we?

Your bed is huge.

Yeah, I toss and turn quite a bit.

And tons of books like a doctor.

- Please sit over here. - Thank you.

But that wasn't my own.

Ever heard of 'Cook Ding Cuts Up an Ox'?

No.

It's about a cook named Pao Ding by philosopher Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi?

Doesn't it sound cool?

Yeah, it's very thoughtful.

I used to read a lot when I was young.

Because of the books here, I feel something.

It's like we have a connection of some kind.

Please, these are nothing but medical texts.

I read for survival, I dare not go near philosophy.

I only read mystery books.

I can't compete with you when it comes to culture.

Mystery books?

Yes.

Yeah, there are so many.

You must be a huge fan.

Just a little.

I simply like having answers.

- Answers? - Yes.

Mystery books have answers in the form of criminals.

It feels like there are less answers now,

than when I was a student.

There are answers in a world without answers.

That's good.

I only read philosophy, but you're philosophizing.

Is that so?

Another drink? It's empty.

Where did you go so early in the morning?

To meet my son.

- Son? - Yes.

I'm divorced, and I get him every other week.

Is it him? That's your son?

Yes, yes.

Resemblance is there.

- How old? - He's 10.

Mine's 15, he's in middle school.

You saw him in the morning.

You must've married early.

I got married again, he's from my first wife.

He's in puberty, so he doesn't talk much.

He doesn't get along with his stepmom,

it's kinda hard being in the middle.

How come his morn is not taking care of him?

Well...

His morn ran away.

Pardon?

She left home, when he was 6.

Probably fled home, she was a Filipino.

She left with her passport.

Her family denies it, but...

It's been 3 years, so I had the marriage voided.

- Shall we drink? - Sure.

Why were you poking around my shop?

What?

That's what my kid said.

- Buddy! - Yeah?

Where the hell are you?

Father shit his pants again!

I'm gonna have to go downstairs.

Right, have a good night.

- Thank you again. - Thanks for the beef.

Where are you! Answer me!

I'm coming down.

- You were in #301 all along? - Lower your voice.

Pieces of a body was discovered yesterday,

at a construction site in Hwajung city.

Torso of a woman without the head

had numerous blunt traumas with a sharp object,

and was found by construction workers...

Not again? I thought it was over.

Yesterday?

Hello?

It's ready? I'll be right there.

What is it?

Finish up your meal.

I gotta pick up porridge for Dr. BYUN.

I thought he wanted snacks.

I think he's hungover, he's not looking so good.

Porridge is great for hangover.

I ordered it on the way.

You don't have to.

But you should finish your meal.

I gotta get him the meal while it's hot.

I'm finished.

Eat slowly.

Want me to eat alone?

Doctor?

"EX: Where exactly is your clinic?"

Already here?

I had to park the car.

It's an empty lot but they're being fussy.

What's going on? You have to call first.

What if I had a dinner appointment?

You don't meet your friends on weekdays.

This isn't Gangnam.

Why did you come?

Did you get the addresses sorted out?

Don't make me send your mail again.

You nag me for not changing the address,

but why do you still have the ring on?

It's the only thing worth a damn.

I'm gonna get it redone.

It just looked good with this dress.

What are you doing!?

Su-jung...

Hey, what are you doing?!

I'm gonna destroy everything here!

You can't live in this dump with my child! Never!

It didn't come from me.

He didn't even tell me that he wanted to come here

during summer break!

So why then? Why does he want to live with you?!

I don't know!

Did you ever think that you're the problem?

What?

Are you like this in front of the kid?

Are you getting help?

If you're unstable around him,

I'd prefer that he stays in this dump!

Son of a bitch!

Who made me like this?

And now you want to take my child?

That's not what I mean.

L.

Let go!

Yes!

Who is it?

It's the landlord.

Hello.

What brings you?

Hello.

Tenants downstairs heard stuff breaking.

I slipped and broke the bathroom mirror.

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'll keep it down.

- Sure. - Sorry.

I had a spare mirror in the basement.

Thank you, I'll take it.

It's okay, I'll do it.

My wife's quite finicky, so I'll do it before she finds out.

Wanna come down for a drink later?

Pardon?

We'll close around 10.

- I'll clean that up. - Yeah?

- Be careful. - Okay.

It's only me, so come downstairs.

Okay?

You're here, come in.

- Here? - Yes.

Did you clean up okay?

Yes, sorry about that.

Not at all.

So what happened was...

it's, uh...

she had a misunderstanding.

I felt so bad for her, so much guilt on my part.

But my worry now is,

you know...

she's a bit hysteric.

I'm worried that her hysteria...

will pass onto my son.

But I can't raise my child here.

So...

She thinks if we made love, we could start over again,

she's clinging onto that hope.

But it can't happen overnight.

It's only making things worse.

I'm gonna get some more drink.

Hello? Mi-yun?

It's 9?

On my way, sorry.

Okay!

SHINGLES VACCINE HALF PRICE FOR 65 AND OVER

Yes, we administer it, but come quickly.

The vaccine could run out soon.

Line-up? There is a bit.

Yes, okay.

Dr. SHIN Internal Medicine.

Dr. BYUN? One moment.

Dr. BYUN here.

Sir, it's me.

Pardon?

The butcher shop.

Oh, hello.

When did you get back home yesterday?

I'm sorry about that. I think I was too drunk.

No, it's all right.

I was too drunk to notice that you were gone.

It's okay.

- Doctor... - Yes?

We got a full house today...

Which idiot threw trash here?

Dang it, we're so low on the vaccine.

When will the next batch arrive?

Oh my!

I don't believe it!

Sir, you don't need to do that.

You'll get it on your arm.

First time is hard, eh?

Sir?

First time's always like that.

Once you start,

you can't stop.

Good bye.

That old fart's still alive?

Yeah, why?

See that young woman?

That's his new daughter-in-law.

Divorces are common nowadays.

It's not about that.

Long time ago, his wife disappeared.

She was not seen around town.

And his son's first wife also disappeared.

Gone, out of the blue.

And he didn't even look for her.

HE'S gone?

- He's the landlord, right? - Yes.

Afternoon, we're from the police.

- The police? - Yes.

We're looking into the torso that was found near here.

I saw that on the news.

Right.

Was there any foreign workers who came here recently?

Why? The killer isn't Korean?

DNA analysis concluded that the victim is a Southeast Asian.

Oh no...

It could be an incident between migrant workers.

Could we look at any foreign residents' records?

Yes, of course.

It's terrifying.

Why can't they do it in their own country?

This week is full of seniors coming for vaccination,

I don't think we had any of those people.

But I'll check just in case.

Did you sleep in the back room again?

Yeah.

Isn't it hot? It's humid at night.

That room doesn't even have AC.

It's got a fan, it ain't too bad.

Worst time for a boiler to break.

Can't imagine not taking showers.

When will it be fixed?

Today, they're fixing it today.

Just got in?

Doctor,

why did you take just the head?

"NIGHTMARE OF SERIAL KILLING ONCE AGAIN?"

"'HEADLESS BODY' LEGEND BECOMES REAL?"

Yo, fucking Filipino.

Go back to your country!

Don't wanna go back home?

Then crawl through here.

Between my legs!

Now!

Get going!

Too slow! Go!

Faster!

So slow.

Crawl faster!

Crawl, dipshit!

Almost there, just go!

Go home, Filipino!

Doctor...

I won't do it again.

Please let this slide.

If you want, I'll switch clinics.

Please don't tell the head doctor, okay?

It's my first time...

First time?

Look, Mi-yun.

This bag wasn't a gift from your boyfriend, right?

Okay.

It's late, so head home.

Doctor, you slept here again?

Yes, the boiler's not fixed yet.

You'll get sick.

Should I ask the head doctor and get you a new room?

No, it'll be done today. I'm heading home later.

- Good morning. - Hello.

Help me with this. Bring the Scotch tape.

"OFF FOR 3 DAYS DUE TO PERSONAL MATTER"

Doctor!

Just got in?

Yes...

Thank you for the vaccination.

I owe you twice now.

I'm in your debt.

If you need my help, please let me know.

Sure.

Why is the shop closed?

Wife wanted to go home for a few days.

So she's not here now?

We had a small argument,

you know how it is.

We have no help, and we can't run it without her.

Oh this.

An entire cow came in today.

It's been a while since I last worked on a whole cow,

so I hurt myself with bad tools.

Even the head?

Why you ask?

No, I just meant...

I'll head up now.

Okay.

Doctor.

Yes?

When we drank a few days ago...

Yes?

- Did you... - What is it?

No, it's nothing.

I think I'm mistaken, don't worry about it.

Get some rest.

Okay.

Urn...

That lady from before, did she get home okay?

Yes, of course.

That's good.

Let me know if you need help with anything.

Let's drink again soon.

Sure, bye.

Who is it?

Is BYUN Seung-hoon home?

This is the police, could you open the door?

Are you Mr. BYUN?

Yes.

We're from Gangnam Police.

Gangnam Police?

Are you JO Su-jung's ex-husband?

Yes.

She went missing.

What?

Why are you being such a nuisance?

Even if you don't live with the child,

how could you not even answer your call!

I'm sorry.

I had a night shift, and didn't take my charger.

- Why're you so careless? - I'm really sorry.

Please take care of Young-hoon...

Whatever!

So due to boiler problem you slept at the clinic for 4 days?

Yes.

And you last saw her last weekend,

when you dropped off your son?

No,she“.

She came to the clinic 4 days ago.

You met her 4 days ago?

My mother-in-law didn't mention it?

She said JO had a meeting without saying where,

and hasn't come home yet.

So you're the last person to see her alive.

I guess so...

What did you two talk about?

She wanted to talk about our son's summer schedule.

What time did she leave?

It was during the weekday,

so about 9 PM.

No further contact from her after that?

No, not at all.

Okay, since it's late, we'll head back.

If you hear anything, please let me know.

- Please. - I understand.

Good night.

We'll call you.

Yes, who is it?

Mi-yun, why're you here?

Cops came to the clinic.

Come in.

Cops came by?

What the hell are you doing?

Why are they looking for you?

I said I'll switch clinics, isn't that enough?!

You had to go straight to the police?!

- Wanna send me to jail? - Calm down.

This has nothing to do with you.

It's a private family matter.

When did they come?

Right after you left.

What did they ask?

They asked if you worked there, and said your phone was off.

Anything else?

What's going on?

My ex-wife is...

missing.

missing?

Was she from that ice cream shop?

How do you know that?

On the way home,

I saw you with a woman.

I'll head home, sir.

Sorry.

Wait, you live around here, right?

I'll walk you home.

No, please, it's okay.

I'm really close, I can walk alone.

Who are you?

Doctor, do you recognize me?

We bumped into each other a few times.

How did you get in here?

You may've seen me, but not know me.

I'm Inspector JO Kyung-hwan.

Inspector?

You're a cop?

Kind of.

I'm a retired officer.

I missed a crime scene thanks to you.

I've been waiting for a few years.

You know something.

Know what?

About the crimes of the butchers downstairs.

This neighborhood is infamous for unsolved serial killing case.

Serial killing?

That was my case 15 years ago.

So the butchers downstairs...

Yes, that's what I believed.

Pardon?

The thing is,

I couldn't find hard evidence.

It's either evidence or confession.

This was ages ago.

The old man was calm, overly clean and composed.

I knew these weren't accidental killings.

The term 'psychopath' didn't exist then.

Without evidence and confession, they had to be caught in the act.

This is a disease, and he'll start again.

So...

Then the body that was found recently...

I'm not sure about that one.

The killing method is different.

It's different...

Why did you chase the girl?

Girl?

Is Mi-yun dead too?

I ran after you to save you,

and she and the man were both gone.

She could've heard us and fled the scene,

so there's still hope.

Inspector, so...

my wife...

What about your wife?

She's missing, she was here a few days ago,

and then went missing.

What did you two do?

Talked.

Really?

With your ex-wife?

How do you know about that?

I looked around while you passed out.

It's obvious that you're living alone here,

so probably not a happy backstory.

Did you fight?

Yes, we argued a little.

Did you do something to her?

I'm not like that!

Not like what?

I'm not like the butchers downstairs!

Killers aren't special.

I was a cop for 3O years.

Killers aren't different set of people.

We all have beasts inside, but it must be contained.

Once it gets out, it's all the same.

What exactly do you know?

- The truth is... - Go on.

- In the fridge... - What about it?

It's...

Just as I expected.

I didn't lose the girl, but I saved you.

What?

I think they were after you.

They probably think you're onto them.

This is my number.

For now, just act normal.

I'm gonna be near them, so if this happens again,

or when you're in danger, just call me.

But...

shouldn't we come forward to the police?

With that head? Are you sure?

If the butchers deflect your accusation,

how else are you going to pin that head on them?

It's your call.

That bimbo!

Probably got drunk and passed out.

Dr. BYUN.

Yes?

Mi-yun didn't come today.

Is that so?

She's not home, and her cell phone's off.

She sometimes does this when she goes out.

We're so busy with the vaccination...

Can't reach her at all?

No.

Head doctor's not in today too, could you handle the outpatients?

Shouldn't we alert the police?

Pardon?

What happened to your face? Are you hurt?

No, it's nothing.

So you get diarrhea often?

It's likely enteritis, but it's not serious.

Avoid spicy food and we'll prescribe pills, and a shot.

Doctor, which shot?

Aminophylline.

This way.

Hey, Young-hoon.

- Dad, I want to come over. - Come on, you got school.

I don't care, I fought with grandma.

What're you saying?

She keeps saying bad things about you.

She's just upset, that's why.

But you can't skip school.

I'm almost at your place.

What?

What's the door passcode?

Where are you?

I see the butcher shop you mentioned.

You can't go there! Don't go there!

You mustn't go upstairs!

What's wrong?

Listen carefully.

Grab a cab and just get in!

If there aren't any,

hop on the #120 bus at the bus stop, #120!

And get off at the model apartment stop.

#120, model apartment stop.

Yes, you got it?

I can do it, I'll call when I'm on the bus.

Make sure you do, okay?

- Okay, bye. - Yeah, good.

"9 MISSED CALLS"

"DAD"

Hello?

Young-hoon!

Why aren't you answering my calls!

- Are you on the bus? - It's me, doctor.

Who are you?

You don't recognize me?

- Who are you? - It's me, the butcher.

What?

Did I startle you? I'm with your son now.

How come?

I lost something of mine.

I'm coming to you to pick it up.

You lost what? What did you lose!

Hello?

You're being connected to voicemail.

Inspector! I think my son is kidnapped!

I'm almost at the butcher shop, please come at once!

Hey! Hey!

Seung-hoon!

Doc, you really know something?

First time is hard, eh?

I'll give you the propofol shot next time.

Inspector...

Inspector.

Feeling okay?

It's all right, this is my office.

But what exactly happened?

Blood?

Blood...

I stabbed him.

I stabbed a man in the eye!

What if he's dead! And Young-hoon!

Wait, wait!

Your boy's fine, I checked him myself.

He's with his grandma, take it easy.

- His grandma? - Yes.

- Really? - Yes.

Thank you, thank you so much...

By the way.

Take a look at this.

"HWAJUNG BODY IS CONFIRMED AS A GANGNAM WOMAN."

"EX-HUSBAND IS BEING SOUGHT AFTER."

Is this Su-jung?

Were you ever investigated by the police?

No, not formally.

They came by to ask me about her disappearance.

But they received a tip.

- Tip? - Yeah.

From a neighbor.

They heard you fight loudly with her.

- It's them. - Them?

The butchers.

Do you suspect me too?

No. I know it wasn't you.

What do we do? What now?

They have the head.

The head?

I saw it the other day.

They killed his wife.

They stored the head in the fridge.

That's what we need, then the case is solved.

You can finally close the case that you chased for 15 years.

So please help me retrieve the head.

I need the head, I have to get it!

Stay put!

If you really saw a head there,

I'll call the police, it'll be better.

No, I can't trust the police.

It says I'm under investigation!

That's impossible!

But breaking in and entering is illegal.

I'll take the heat, just trust me.

I'm calling the police.

Local police and the butchers are in league with each other!

They're trying to...

Also...

"NAM IN-SU"

"NAM IN-SU"

There's a reason if you couldn't catch the killer for 15 years.

Who are you?

Doctor?

Stay back!

Why? Why?

Die!

Police! Freeze!

Don't move.

Grab him!

HEY, are you okay?

Hey!

You Okay?

There...

What did you say?

I need a paramedic!

- The head... the head... - Paramedic!

He avoided lunch with us,

and stayed alone at the clinic, so I had my suspicion.

The drug... Yes, that one.

It's used for colonoscopy, but it was short.

It kept disappearing.

I'm the first one in and last one to leave,

so lunchtime is the only time to get it.

Broken boiler?

We did a maintenance work in the spring,

why would it break?

I drank a few times, and he felt like a good guy.

Did you meet him? He just went up.

There's something I didn't mention that day.

We had a drink that day,

and when I left the table, he was gone.

I thought he went back to sleep it off.

Then in the morning, I noticed that 2 knives were gone.

Nothing else was missing, just my knives.

But Why'd a doctor steal knives?

How should I put this...

Did you take anything when you were drunk?

Why? ls something missing?

No, it's nothing. Sorry.

But I asked him just in case.

He acted like he didn't know anything.

I felt embarrassed.

Kidnap?

Doctor, it's me.

The butcher downstairs.

Did I startle you?

I'm with your son now.

It's just that I lost something of mine.

I'm coming to you to pick it up.

It's dad, answer him.

Hello?

The call's dead.

I knew he was off since the beginning.

On the weekend, he was lurking at our shop.

He ultimately stole the knives from there.

He probably planned it.

I knew he'd do something really bad.

I saw something.

He was getting beaten up in the empty lot.

He saw me.

I saw it on the news,

that he had a debt.

So I guess that was the loanshark.

Buddy!

You know me. Why are you avoiding me?

He was a dick.

Where you off to?

To my part-time job.

Why does a student need money?

I tried to save him some face.

Why did you go in there?

To find evidence.

Evidence? Like what?

Murder evidence.

Something to prove that the butchers were.

The serial killers.

And that is?

A head, a woman's head.

So did you find it?

Yes, didn't you see it?

How could you not? Don't you search crime scenes?

It was rolling around the scene.

A head was rolling around?

Yes, it was inside a black bag, didn't you confirm that?

It's a human head.

Is that so?

And there's another one in my room, in the fridge.

I was drunk and took it upstairs,

I think that's how I got involved with this ordeal.

Where have you been?

Locked up, in a way.

BY Whom?

I... really don't know.

He said his name was Inspector JO Kyung-hwan.

But it could be a fake name.

Oh, him?

Is he in police custody?

I tied him up in his office.

What's his true identity?

He said he was a retired detective.

But I don't think he was.

He was always around, he may be with the butchers.

He showed up when the old man confessed to me,

and on the day when Mi-yun went missing.

Wait.

Who went missing?

You don't know? Her family didn't report yet?

YOO Mi-yun, she works as a nurse at my clinic.

When she visited me, the butchers went after...

Wait, one second, doctor.

She didn't show up to work the next day!

- And unreachable! - Ms. YOO is not missing.

She's not missing?

That's good...

Where was she?

Why? Are you getting nervous to hear that?

Me nervous? For what?

Fearing that she'd talk.

Talk?

Did she say something about me?

Well...

She said you confessed to the murders.

No way...

No, I meant admission.

Admission of murders.

When you came asking about the missing woman,

I realized it.

So he was telling the truth when he was sedated.

Sedated?

Yes, propofol, it's an anesthetic.

He was addicted to it.

Doctor?

He talked in his sleep?

Colonoscopy patients sometimes do that.

They let out something private.

What did he say?

He said he killed a woman.

And that the head was still in the fridge.

When did they come?

Right after you left.

What did they ask?

If you were coming to work regularly.

What's going on?

My ex-wife is missing.

missing?

Was she from that ice cream shop?

When I told him I saw him with her...

How do you know that?

He changed so starkly.

- On the way home... - You saw us?

I'll head home.

It's really late, I'm sorry.

How could I face him in the morning?

I was so scared, I didn't know what to do.

I was really scared.

So she...

This is nuts!

How do I say this...

I wasn't going to mention this,

but she's a criminal.

She's the one who stole the drugs!

Propofol!

I caught her stealing the drugs.

And you believe her?

She's trying to frame me for what she did!

I knew she was selling it to buy luxury bags.

Gifts from boyfriend?

Think about it.

How much would a nurse at a private clinic make?

How does she find a lover who'll gift her $5,000 bag?

This is one of two cases:

either a credit card debt, or steal company property.

Boyfriend?

Look!

When youngsters have money, it means their parents are rich.

And coming from a rich family,

Why'd he date a nurse who works at a country clinic?

That never happens in Korea!

I knew right away when she showed off several luxury bags,

she stole the drugs! This is the real Mi-yun!

- Is that so? - Yes!

What about this?

Recognize her? BAE Jung-ja.

You borrowed $200,000 from her to open your clinic.

Who?

A headless torso surfaced on Han River last month.

She had no limbs, so we couldn't ID her.

No fingerprint,

and no dental records since there's no head.

You know that head from your fridge?

DNA samples from it and the torso match perfectly.

You kept it so well that she was recognizable.

Have you confirmed it?

Yes, it's her.

It's Mrs. BAE's head.

When did you know about it?

Since her disappearance 6 months ago.

She suffered from insomnia, and only propofol helped her.

She had a regular clinic, but when BYUN fell on hard times,

she got it from him, in exchange of debt interest.

She went to his clinic that day after telling me.

When I couldn't reach her the next day, I went there.

And I found her car in the parking lot.

It was in the afternoon and she still couldn't be reached,

so I checked the dash cam.

I guess he didn't know she told me about her visit,

so he didn't rush out to dispose the car.

It was after he got rid of the body, and I got to the car before he did.

Everything was on there.

According to BYUN, she died of drug overdose.

Anyway, we settled it for $200,000.

I returned the car and reported her missing.

We set out story together.

Then I lost a lot on gambling early this year.

So I went to see him.

But his clinic was closed and he was gone.

I tracked him down in 3 months.

But I didn't know he kept the head.

He's insane.

Go ahead.

JO Kyung-hwan.

JO... Kyung-hwan?

Dr. NAM.

As you know, everything is being recorded.

Don't try to build an insanity case...

That's enough.

Leave us.

Seung-hoon,

why didn't you come to me for help?

You need regular therapy.

It's me, NAM In-su, your colleague,

and your therapist.

Seung-hoon, it's me! Don't you remember me?

Your son's godfather!

I don't see him...

It's...

It's my son Young-hoon.

It's Young-hoon.

It is him.

He's my son, my son...

Seung-hoon...

You should've come to me earlier.

What happened that day?

The day you met Su-jung.

Su-iuns... wait!

- Please... - Go away!

- Listen to me. - Stay away!

- I can explain. - I'm sick of it!

- Please! - Let me go!

Seung-hoon!

Seung-hoon!

This is a conspiracy!

Take him outside!

Are you okay?

The loansharks often came to his clinic to pester him.

His depression got so bad that he came to me for help.

He probably became depended on drugs then.

Propofol alone doesn't cause hallucination,

I knew something was off.

- I never thought this would... - Who is JO Kyung-hwan?

An imaginary friend, perhaps.

"MYSTERY NOVEL BY JO KYUNG-HWAN"

A suspect of the Han River torso case was apprehended.

A headless, limbless torso was found last month...

"KNIFE FOUND WITH VICTIM'S BLOOD AT BYUN'S HOME"

"ADDITION OF A SPOUSAL MURDER CHARGE"

It wasn't me.

I didn't kill her.

Hello?!

Detective, let me speak to the officer who interviewed me!

Be quiet!

That report is all wrong, I need to speak to him...

Let go!

KIM! Officer KIM!

Let go! It's all wrong!

I don't want that shot...

I've fallen into a trap.

An elaborate trap, yeah.

The moment I saw the head in the butcher shop,

I was already caught in their trap.

I did not kill my wife.

I'm not that kind of person...

I can't be, I'm just not...

No...

"MY SON, JUNG KYUNG-SU"

Where's Kyung-su?

I don't see him.

He went to the Philippines.

That idiot wanted to study English there,

so I sent him.

He paid for the trip himself.

What happened to the doctor upstairs?

The cops took him, of course.

CCTVs are everywhere, so no criminals are safe.

After that incident, more CCTVs are being installed.

Father, we installed one too.

Had we done that earlier,

we could've caught him stealing the knives.

I'm getting the chills.

What is it?

A ring, he gave it to me.

Maybe it was your mother's, he slipped it in my hand.

Isn't it pretty?

Wait, it might get scratched while working.

I'm gonna leave it in the room.

"BUSINESS AS USUAL?"

"WHEN CAN I GET A DOSE OF PROPOFOL?"

- Ms. PARK Jbhyun'? - Yes'?

Come in.

"WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, I'LL COME OVER."

"THE PRICE WENT UP, IT'S $350 NOW."

Dad.

Did you hear that?

Those things are everywhere now.

Did you know?

You have to be careful now, okay?

CCTV? Those things?

We didn't have those back in my day.

When the sun went down, no one could tell who was gone.

And Han River didn't melt so early too.

Still frigid in April.

Bodies didn't surface before then.

Yeah, winter was cold and ice thick.

Dad, what are you doing here?
