STRANGER

We are rolling.

- Microphone check, one, two, three. - Let's go.

The house you see behind me

is where Mr. Park was murdered in January this year,

and another brutal crime just took place here.

It sounds like another person got killed.

- Goodness. - It was revealed

to the public after a student posted a photo of the victim on social media.

A group of teenagers has been hanging out at Mr. Park's empty house since his death.

They posted a photo of the victim after discovering the body

instead of contacting the police,

- which has shocked many of us. - The kids are coming out!

- They are coming out! - There they are.

- Please say a few words. - Please tell us what happened.

- Block the cameras! - Say a few words.

- Wait. - No photos!

No, you can't. Block them!

- Please say a few words. - What exactly happened?

- Please look at the camera here! - Please tell us what happened.

- What happened? - How did you get into the house?

- Officers. - Let us ask a question.

- Please cooperate! - What happened?

Please cooperate.

What brings you here?

Is this related to the previous case? Is it a copycat killing?

Another victim has been killed despite your promise.

- Do you have anything to say? - Please say something.

- Is it a serial murder? - Is it true, Prosecutor?

- Prosecutor Hwang! - Prosecutor, how do you feel?

- Prosecutor Hwang! - Please say a few words.

FORENSIC SCIENCE OFFICER

Hey.

Try to find her belongings.

Whatever you can find.

Yes, sir.

Where on earth did the owner of this house go?

She's left like that, yet none of her clothes are around here.

Pardon?

Not even a purse. There is nothing here whatsoever.

I know where the owner is.

It wouldn't have been easy to tie her like that even if she was passed out.

There is no blood on the wall.

- Goodness! - She is alive!

- She is alive. - What? What did you say?

She's alive!

- She is alive? - Hey!

Hey, come on!

- Hurry up and untie her. - She was dead!

- Scissors! - Untie her!

Just cut it with scissors.

Pass me scissors!

- Hurry and untie her! - Untie her!

- Move aside. - Get her up.

One, two, three. Goodness.

Be careful!

- Where to? - To outside!

Hey, she is alive!

- She is alive? - Move out of the way. She is alive!

Hey, wake up.

- Did you see who did this to you? - Goodness!

She opened her eyes to live, not to catch the culprit for us.

Paramedics. Call the paramedics immediately.

Why didn't he finish her?

I mean, after all this trouble.

Also, why here?

What is he getting out of this?

Okay. One, two.

Open the door, please. Door!

- I think she is alive. - Is she alive?

- Is she alive? - Please tell us.

- Is she alive? - Is she really alive?

- Is she alive? - Please say a few words!

The girl is alive. She will be taken to Namsan Hospital.

There are so many reporters here. The killer will find out soon.

Please send us backup right away. Yes, sir.

Try to be more careful, will you?

Detective Kim.

- Yes? - It is from Chief.

Goodness, we know nothing yet. Why is he calling? I know nothing.

Name, Min-ah Kwon. Tell him that she should be around 25.

Who? The victim?

Do you know her?

I don't know her, but I know where she lives.

- Sorry? - He is waiting.

You just figure it out.

Prosecutor Hwang, wait.

How can you know where she lives when you don't know her personally?

She works for an establishment that got busted

during our prostitution crackdown.

So, is she a working girl?

She got caught again during another crackdown last night.

She had already fled when I figured out where she lives.

Now, that was two nights ago.

How did a working girl end up at this house?

I would also like to know the answer.

And what it means.

She must have seen the culprit.

She must live.

- Prosecutor. - Prosecutor!

- Prosecutor! - Prosecutor, please say a few words.

Have you identified a prime suspect yet?

What is your thought on this incident?

- Prosecutor, will there be another... - Please tell us.

Please say a few words.

- Tell us your thoughts on this case! - Please comment.

Prosecutor, are you sure you can catch the killer?

- I will insert it now. - Move her immediately.

- Bring six more packs. Fluids too. - Yes, Doctor.

- Has she had a shock yet? - Yes, she has.

- It is in. - Move her now.

- She'll live, right? - It is hemorrhagic shock

with hypoxia and low blood pressure.

She will survive, right?

The puncture in the lung caused blood loss and exposure to oxygen.

It could have been very dangerous.

She saw a serial killer. She is the only witness.

Please make sure she lives.

I should do my best regardless of whether she is a witness or not.

Whether she is a witness or not.

You must live. Don't let him beat you.

You were terrified. It was horrible.

Do not let it become your last memory of this world.

You have to live!

Ms. Han!

- Sir. - Hey.

What happened?

She is in the operating room now. The doctor couldn't guarantee anything.

We got her identity.

The prosecutor knows her address.

He's heading there with Sergeant Kim.

- Do you mean Prosecutor Hwang? - Yes.

How does he know her address?

The prosecution has been after her due to a prostitution crackdown.

Mr. Park, hold down the fort while I am gone, okay?

- You must keep an eye on her. - Well...

Hey, Ms. Han. Yeo-jin.

IT IS SO FUCKING SCARY.

Honey.

Did something happen?

Why do you ask?

No, nothing happened.

It is nothing.

Good grief.

Goodness.

I would have opened the door for you. Why did you come in through there?

You are right.

Is there any sign of a struggle?

Did the culprit

go through her stuff?

Don't touch anything!

It is possible she got abducted here.

Hey, it is me.

Send the forensic unit here.

Perfume.

A travel mug.

A makeup brush.

Right, when they are done there.

What?

Mr. Hwang, what is the address here again?

You said she works at a bar.

Goodness, something happened to the girl?

I don't know. Something terrible must've happened.

Hello, you all are working so hard.

Hey, you made it. What is going on with that girl?

She is in surgery at the moment. Mr. Park is there.

Where is the forensic unit?

They can't come here because the scene in Huam-dong is a total mess.

There are too many of these.

Prosecutor Hwang had no idea she was abducted from here

and walked all over.

Where is he?

- He just left. - What? Hey.

Did you get his fingerprint?

Our fingerprints must be all over the place as we got in through the window.

Why did you get in through the window?

What do you think? Should we have knocked down the door instead?

You said this is where she got abducted. Was the door locked?

The abductor kindly locked the door as he was leaving?

It doesn't have an electronic lock. It couldn't have gotten locked on its own.

Well. If he used the door, people would have seen him.

Anyway,

it is a mess here. Don't you think it is

because she felt threatened?

Goodness.

What did I do all this for?

There was no facial moisturizer.

I didn't see anything she would need daily on her dressing table.

I thought maybe it wasn't an accident

and that she could have packed her stuff and left home to lay low.

But it happened right here. Only a few steps from her place.

I was late once again.

It is not your fault.

Who knew she would get abducted like this?

This was planned.

Sorry?

He left the laptop.

The blood was intentionally left there,

and he buried the dog underneath it.

Everything must have been planned from the get-go.

Do you think it is a message for me?

I also felt

that someone might be leaving tracks on purpose,

but why would it be a message for you?

I could have caught the culprit like Mr. Park,

but I was late once again. Why is this happening?

Who knew that you would be coming here?

If someone keeps harming people around you,

that person must be holding grudges against you or want to frame you.

Mr. Hwang, by any chance,

did you get involved with that girl?

The victim. It is like what you told me earlier, right?

You said Moo-sung was like a sponsor and that he used money and women.

He used her for that purpose, didn't he?

Is that how he bribed you?

If the culprit

is a man who loves the victim,

he could be holding grudges against you

and obviously against Moo-sung.

Why aren't you answering me?

Is there really something?

No, there is nothing.

Have a look.

I saw it at her place.

Her year of birth is listed as 1993 on her wireless carrier's records.

Some men might like stuff like this,

so it is possible she was actually born in 1993.

What if this isn't a costume?

But it is her actual high school uniform.

Then, she must have been a walking time bomb.

To some men, that is.

But it doesn't look like that.

He should've killed her quietly if he wanted to shut her up.

This looks like he is dying to advertise it.

I mean, why did he tie her there of all places?

Let's just catch him.

Now, I really want to see what this prick looks like.

I will look into this.

Oh god.

Why do you think you are being targeted?

Who would it be?

Why?

Yes, sir. We figured out where she got abducted.

The serious teenage misbehavior is shocking enough in and of itself,

but the fact that people without any authorization were able to sneak

into the scene of an unsolved case, which has been a mystery for months,

is making us doubt the competency of the police.

Also, there has been no progress made even though there is another victim now.

We would like to ask the police once again if they are actually

determined to catch the culprit.

When will they stop fussing around only after something happens?

Moreover, how many more lives will it take

for Korea to become safe?

When will Korea be able to dissociate itself from its bad reputation of being

the country where man-made disasters kill its civilians on a daily basis?

Thank you for watching Breaking News.

I hope all of you have a great day.

It's your doing, right?

Didn't you stage it as a murder because you couldn't figure out

what to do after abducting her?

No, it wasn't me.

You mean it wasn't you? Then, who is the mastermind?

We have each one of you in every room now.

You need to come clean first if you want a lighter punishment.

I already told you that we didn't kill her.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have posted the photo.

You obviously did that to use it as an excuse like this.

You think you are so smart, don't you?

Sir, I won't be punished because I am under 14.

How dare you. Hey, get your facts straight.

That is true in the Criminal Code, but not the Family Law.

You are still a kid. What will you be later if you are already like this?

Sir,

- I am not a kid. - You little...

Hey, be quiet.

- Goodness. - Stay still!

What are you doing? It hurts.

- Hello. - Who are you?

POLICE, YEO-JIN HAN

Are you Min-ah's mother?

She is not home at the moment. What is this about?

Your daughter is at a hospital now.

Pardon me?

Did you say hospital?

Well, she is supposed to be in Japan now. What happened?

- Japan? - Yes.

Isn't this your daughter?

No, this girl is not my daughter.

I got so scared for a moment.

PROSECUTOR YOUNG

- What? - Where are you now?

There is an emergency meeting at Mr. Kang's office.

Right now?

All right.

You all know the situation. We have a lot to do.

Let's get started right away.

Mr. Seo isn't here yet.

He'll stop by Yongsan Police Station first.

The new Huam-dong case. Will Mr. Seo take it on?

By what standard?

What standard?

What makes you think that you can question my standard?

Listen up.

I don't care even if you are friends with some reporters.

Zip up your lips about this case.

The culprit is obviously determined to make a complete fool of us.

Don't give people a reason to gossip more. Do you all understand?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Si-mok.

Jin-seob's family has decided to press charges

against the government, the jail staff and us.

It is for criminal compensation and compensation for damages.

We probably won't have to stand trial,

but know that it is your fault and behave yourself.

Will you go on TV again?

No, sir.

You sure know how to answer.

This is a composite sketch of the suspect.

Name, Hyung-jun Yoo. He is a member of the Yeongnam gang.

He used to be based in Mokpo.

He got himself in trouble again right after completing his jail term.

Those who found Min-ah Kwon.

They didn't do it?

Hello, Mr. Seo.

We didn't find any bloodstain on them.

If it was their doing, things would have been so easy.

So, is it turning into a serial case then?

Sixty thousand volts.

What is this 60,000V for?

A permit is needed for that much voltage.

We are looking into that as well, but...

Please excuse me for a moment.

Yes.

What? She's not?

Then, who is Min-ah?

Darn it, the statement has already been released.

Okay, I have to go. Hey, wait.

Message everyone in our group chat.

- Were you wrong on the girl's identity? - Well.

That was the social security number on her phone contract and her lease,

but it wasn't hers.

That is precisely why we were keeping an eye on this girl.

She must have a connection to those who supply minors with fake IDs.

But it is...

Things have gotten so complicated now. I don't know how to interpret all this.

Who is at the hospital now?

Right. We sent an officer there.

He is there by himself, but he will be sure

to keep a watchful eye on her.

We are always short-staffed, aren't we?

Damn it.

PROSECUTOR KANG

Aren't you in charge of manslaughter cases with female victims?

I guess he wanted someone more senior as it has turned into a bigger case now.

Who arrived on the scene first

and who knows the most about the case won't really matter.

Are you trying to make me feel better or being sarcastic?

You can rub salt into a wound

only when there is a wound.

You never get affected by things like this.

I guess you will really behave yourself.

MEETING ROOM

Come in.

They have found out

that Min-ah was an alias.

Why?

- Pardon? - Why did it have to be yesterday?

The night you went after her all of a sudden.

Why did we end up with another victim on that very night?

Why are you asking me, sir?

Do you think.

I have something to do with it?

Why are you jumping to conclusions?

Do you feel guilty about something?

You even went to that bar.

Did you notice anything out of ordinary?

Did anyone follow you?

Well.

Si-mok.

He is the one who gave police the information on the culprit.

He was tailing me,

and he must've followed her to her house.

Sir, don't you think it is strange?

Moo-sung Park died under Si-mok's watch, and it happened again.

This can't be a coincidence.

You said he tailed you.

How did he figure out where she lives when you couldn't?

You only went to the bar.

To me, what is more peculiar than the timing

is why the culprit would target Min-ah.

When Mr. Park was killed,

I thought it must be one of the many people

who were involved.

But with this Min-ah case,

it is almost

as if an invisible helping hand gets involved

whenever you could get in trouble.

Have you forgotten her nickname?

I am asking if you have forgotten what Mr. Park used to call her.

Why do you think the culprit tied her there?

Why?

Why didn't he finish her?

He probably didn't expect her to be found so soon.

I bet he had no idea that some teens would be hanging out at a murder scene.

If it weren't for them, she would have died already.

Yes, that place was their hangout.

They must have hung out there many times.

The culprit who thoroughly used the scene, must have known about them.

It could have been someone else.

Or he might have wanted to mete out a bigger punishment

so that she can't function even if she wakes up.

That could be what he wanted.

Why did it have to be yesterday?

The night you went after her all of a sudden.

Why did we end up with another victim on that very night?

Was it a coincidence?

It happened on the day Dong-jae chased her.

You even went to that bar. Did you notice anything out of ordinary?

Did anyone follow you?

Was he following me?

Or did I lead him?

What will you do?

Her address and number.

Garwol-dong...

- That was probably when the culprit... - behind Suwol Elementary School.

A building called Daejin Villa.

He probably left before I did.

No.

- Taxi! - Hey!

Min-ah Kwon.

It took me 46 minutes.

If he figured out her address by tailing me,

he must have arrived there roughly

40 minutes after she did.

Would she have taken 40 minutes when she was trying to run away?

She clearly saw Dong-jae chasing her.

Would she have wasted 40 minutes

at home?

It wasn't even 20m away.

He must have been waiting for her there.

That wouldn't be possible if he was 40 minutes behind her.

Then, it wasn't me. He must have used another route.

If he was someone she knows and they were supposed to meet up,

he wouldn't have had to use a stun gun.

I mean, anyone could have seen them in that alley.

He would've gotten her into his car first to get away.

Yes, he already knew.

He must have been waiting there,

knowing where she lives and that she would be coming.

But...

But he also knew that we managed to track her down.

He must have been waiting for her to be spotted by us.

Then, he put all of us on stage

and threw us into the scene right before the murder.

How did he know about us tracking her down?

Two days ago?

Well, let's see. If it was in the evening...

This is it.

Someone on the inside.

The fact that he knew people from our office were after her

means he is somehow connected.

I don't think he saw us while hovering around her day and night.

He must either be someone who works here

or someone who is connected in some way.

Why is it so empty?

It is usually...

That's right. At this time two days ago,

Mr. Lee was giving his speech in the assembly hall.

Why did he have to do that at the end of the day?

Dong-jae, the investigator in his office,

Mr. Lee, who must have received a report about it, and me.

In this building, those four people knew about...

No, five.

Hey, are you not going to answer the phone?

These people need a lesson.

This is Yongsan Police Station.

Hello? Please go ahead.

Well,

it is okay.

Why are you calling?

Where are you calling from?

Sergeant Kim, we have a big problem.

What now? Did another person get killed?

You need to see what we found on the weapon.

FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS

RESULT OF ANALYSIS

Hey, are you sure this is right?

You got the fingerprint. I am certain of it.

Hello?

Hello.

Listen.

It is really okay.

Just tell me why you are calling.

I will keep it confidential.

Well... I think.

I saw the culprit.

What is it?

You saw the culprit?

Please go on.

What should we do, Chang-jun?

I just got a call from the chairman.

He called you directly? What is the problem though?

About the Huam-dong case. He asked me what is going on with it,

and I ended up telling him.

I couldn't say we haven't even identified any suspect yet.

So, what did you tell him?

I actually just got a report about it.

I was going to tell you first, but...

Stop beating around the bush.

What?

What did you just say?

All of this?

- Take them to the records room. - I can go.

Forget it.

What was that about?

Hello, sir.

I am going to the post office.

It is so tense here every single day. Goodness.

Are you the one with the knife?

Are you the one who stabbed the girl?

No, I didn't.

Your fingerprints

were found all over the weapon. How will you explain it?

I touched it.

Tell me.

Have you gotten into an alliance with someone to stop my promotion?

I am sorry,

but I have never seen anyone who wants to be my ally.

I am not here to joke around with you!

Your fingerprint is all over the weapon and everything in her house.

There is more. There is now a witness who is saying you are the culprit.

Thanks to you, not a day here goes by without problems!

Every piece of evidence is perfectly pointing to me.

Then, why don't you think that I am the culprit?

- You piece of... - I used to be called a psycho,

and even all the evidence is perfect.

Why aren't you suspicious of me at all?

Is it because you know who the culprit is?

- How dare you, son of a... - Min-ah.

Did you do it, sir?

No matter

how cornered one feels,

one must know what one shouldn't do.

Last October,

Mr. Park sent an underage girl to you.

Then, he threatened you saying he would disclose it all as you didn't help him,

but he ended up

getting silenced for good.

Also today,

that underage girl was found.

The girl, whom you have been so desperately looking for,

was found nearly dead.

Can all of this be a coincidence?

Please tell me the truth.

Nothing happened.

Nothing happened.

Not because I am fastidious to the point that people question my orientation.

Mr. Park was already going downhill then.

I only opened the door for him so he wouldn't cause a scene,

but it wasn't him. It was a woman.

No one would have been able to guess that she could be a minor.

Yes, I admit that I was tempted.

But I told her to leave. Why?

Because I knew that it was a trap.

I knew that it would be a sure way to a muddy road.

I know you think no one is smarter than you.

But know this, Si-mok. I am above you.

Min-ah must have blackmailed you since her source of income, Mr. Park died,

saying that the whole world would believe her over you no matter

how desperately you try to plead your innocence.

Mr. Park called her Bell.

What does that mean?

It is because she always showed up.

She is like a doorbell that is answered right away.

Do you think he rang that bell only for me?

We are prosecutors.

Some of us accept money or such forms of entertainment as a bribe.

Some former high-ups expect special treatment on their cases.

It happens when people like us study only to gain power and honor.

Some of us are immature and act up, but we are still prosecutors.

We are here to protect the law and to fight for justice.

I have a faith.

I believe that there are two types of people in this building.

Guardians and criminals. Barrister's robes and prison uniforms.

No matter what the situation may be,

I believe we are different from those we need to punish.

I firmly trust that we would never harm others no matter how lax we become.

But what did you just accuse me of?

You didn't answer my question.

I did not kill anyone.

That was discourteous of me. I apologize.

Prosecutor. Prosecutor Hwang.

Prosecutor Hwang, are you there?

It is your turn now.

What is going on?

That is what I want to ask you. What on earth...

Sir.

I would like to ask him a few questions. It is for the investigation.

Prosecutor Hwang, where were you between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.

last night?

Your colleagues must have been here too, right?

No, everyone had left for the day.

Does that mean you were alone here? Oh dear.

We have never dealt with something like this before.

I touched the knife used for the attempted murder of Min-ah

with my bare hands ten days ago.

How did that happen?

I tried reenacting the crime at the scene

to see if Jin-seob's claim could be true.

I used a knife I found in the kitchen that looked similar to the murder weapon

although it was a little smaller.

Can you prove it in any way?

Except for your words...

Was the culprit's fingerprint not found on the weapon at all?

No. We only found yours.

The way you asked that question

makes it sound like you want to tell me the culprit's fingerprints

shouldn't be the same as yours.

Let me tell you.

Coming here wasn't easy for us.

The fingerprint isn't the only problem.

Someone called us claiming that you are the culprit.

You are talking about the illegal taxi driver, right?

I got Min-ah's address from him.

Dong-jae.

I didn't think it was you.

But the witness said that you were very violent toward him.

He tried not to give you her address because of his loyalty to those girls,

but he thought he could die if he continued to refuse your request.

I didn't believe him, of course.

Everyone must have their reasons.

Well, thinking from the taxi driver's perspective,

I could look like the culprit

because the incident took place on the same day.

But what happened after that

is not any different from what I told you

when I took you to the victim's place.

I got her address,

- but she had already left. - You took him there?

Are you saying we helped the police confirm the victim's identity?

His chief didn't mention anything to me though.

I guess they wanted to take all the credit. Well, it happens.

That being said,

I did some thinking too.

I thought about why you took us there

when you had something to feel guilty about.

Then, this thought popped into my head.

If your claim that you didn't see her when you got to her place isn't true,

and if you actually followed that girl

into her place last night,

you must have thought hard about what to do with your traces

which you left all over her place.

That must be why you went in there again accompanied by us, the police.

Your fingerprint has been found. And we have a witness.

You were most likely the last person who saw the victim.

What would you do if you meet a suspect like that?

I think I have already explained everything to you.

Someone also strongly claimed his innocence a while ago.

But what did you do to him?

I arrested and charged him.

What are you all doing here?

Bring firmer evidence if you want to take one of my people.

For goodness' sake.

What can be firmer evidence than fingerprints?

Good grief. How dare he...

They are being ridiculous.

They would have locked him up already if they were in my shoes.

That is right. We would have put him behind bars immediately.

What I meant was...

That is why

it has to be indisputable.

Of course.

Here.

This one. It is Yangkang High School's uniform.

They actually changed the design last year. We no longer make this design.

Why do you need this?

Did you say Yangkang High School?

Okay. Thank you.

Hey, come down already.

YANGKANG HIGH SCHOOL

Goodness, don't follow me.

Hey, stop. Wait up.

Hey.

You should have been like that too.

I am sorry to interrupt your class.

This student. You were her homeroom teacher, right?

My goodness, it is Ga-young.

Where did you find her?

Where is she now?

Did she run away from home?

We filed a police report too.

Isn't that why you are here?

She was found unconscious

in Huam-dong early this morning.

Pardon me?

Well. When did she run away from home?

How old was she at the time?

Huam-dong...

I saw it in the news. The incident happened at Kyung-wan's place.

Is that it?

Kyung-wan? Who is Kyung-wan...

This is my grandson.

I heard you are serving in the military now.

Excuse me for a moment.

Mr. Park sent about five million won to Min-ah's account every month

until the end of last year.

Min-ah. I mean, Ga-young Kim.

What year was she born?

She was in 12th grade last year, so...

The 12th graders last year were...

She was born in 1998.

I see.

Thank you.

No problem.

I had no idea.

She said she was born in 1993 and even showed me her ID.

How would I know that she was a minor?

When was the last time you saw her?

Three days ago. At work.

Why didn't she work the last two days?

That prosecutor caused a total ruckus. Of course she couldn't come.

Is that why you gave him her address?

To whom else have you given her address?

I don't know where Min-ah lives.

How can I give anyone information that I don't have?

Even if I had known her address,

I wouldn't have given it to anyone.

My numbers would drop if my girls meet up with customers elsewhere.

You must know this man.

I have never seen him before.

Take a good look!

- You know him, don't you? - I told you. I have never seen him.

I want names of all the places she has worked.

- She only started a few days ago... - Write them down!

We were able to prevent organ damage, but cerebral hemorrhage is the problem.

She could have hit her head hard somewhere or it might be caused by the assault.

There is a pool of blood inside.

We will need to open up her cranium in order to remove it now.

Her body won't be able to handle it.

It will be better to remove it using tubing later on, but...

But what?

In the worst-case scenario,

her brain may not function afterward.

Well, did you notice additional signs of assault anywhere else?

No, I didn't see anything else.

Thank you, Doctor.

Goodness, you startled me.

- My apologies. - It is okay.

Why did it come off?

I would've gotten in big trouble for it.

My daughter, Ga-young. My goodness.

Goodness.

Ga-young.

Ga-young.

What should we do?

- It looks like he is in shock. - Hush.

I have a faith.

I believe that there are two types of people in this building.

Guardians and criminals. Barrister's robes and prison uniforms.

No matter what the situation may be,

I believe we are different from those whom we need to punish.

I firmly trust

that we would never harm others no matter how lax we become.

Nothing happened. I admit that I was tempted.

But I told her to leave. Why?

Because I knew that it was a trap.

What should we do?

HANSUNG

HANSUNG SEORAK RESORT

FIND JOY IN NATURE HANSUNG SEORAK RESORT

Yes, hello.

This is Prosecutor Si-mok Hwang from Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.

How long do you generally keep the footage from your security cameras?

Yes, right. But don't you back up the files

or keep copies for internal use?

Right.

Yes.

Yes, it was October 27 of last year.

At 2 p.m. on the tenth floor.

I just need the footage from the west hallway.

Yes, last year.

Please try to find it. I will send an official request right away.

Thank you.

- You are home. - Yes.

Dad.

I am home.

- It is late. - I know.

At this rate, my daughter will be

awarded for being a patient, devoted wife.

If that is the case, Mom should have been awarded a long time ago.

Just coddle your husband. Don't lash out at me.

I am hungry.

- Go wash your hands. - All right.

You and your father talked behind my back, didn't you? Was it fun?

We have other things to talk about.

- That man sure is something. - Pardon me?

Didn't your friend tell you?

The actor basically came on stage on himself.

Are you referring to Si-mok?

When I first heard about it from Woo-gyun, I was just speechless.

I thought, "There will be a lot of noise for a while."

But...

Everything just seems to be falling into place perfectly.

The man who announced on TV that he'd be sure to catch the killer was the culprit.

All other news or scandals will be buried because people will be so shocked.

If Si-mok is confirmed as the culprit, everyone will indeed be in utter shock.

He was at the scene when Mr. Park died, and this time too...

Exactly.

Every time a victim is found, he is there.

People will think that he pushed ahead with arresting Jin-seob

in order to conceal what he did.

- He hit the bull's-eye. - But...

The way the girl's body was placed is quite unusual.

That is true.

If the person who killed Mr. Park also harmed the girl,

it is not a simple serial case.

He must have a goal.

I don't think murder itself is his goal.

If we make Si-mok or whoever look like the culprit,

what will we do if it continues...

I don't care even if there are other victims.

We just have to cut ourselves off from Mr. Park.

All is good with no connection to him.

Nothing else will happen at that house.

Let's say something happens there.

What is the term "copycat crime" for?

We can say that somebody killed whom they wanted to kill

and left the body in that house to avoid getting caught.

If you let such petty worries stop you, you can never move forward.

Right.

You are not even at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

You are just in the criminal division.

You should be quick to act at least. When did I tell you to take care of it?

Have you been worrying about that all this time?

I am sorry.

It is only a matter of time before people find out

how Mr. Park actually died.

- Get on it. - Yes, Father.

Goodness, I heated up everything perfectly.

All right. Let's eat.

Dad.

He acts very quickly once he sets his mind to do something.

He threatened me by saying he would kill me and strangled me,

so I had no choice but to give it to him.

I jotted down his license plate number.

I never imagined this would happen.

That psycho is the culprit.

So, did you tell Min-ah about it?

Did you warn her, "A dangerous man is headed to your place. Run away"?

Then, I would have had to tell her about giving him her address,

and none of those girls would ride my car.

Car? What car?

Hello? Are you there? Hello?

I can't get over how much of a douchebag he is.

If only he had called her, none of this would've happened.

How can he risk a girl's life

to make sure he can continue earning a living?

We got the plate number. We must know who it is.

Who is it? The psycho he was talking about.

Prosecutor Hwang.

Pardon?

Are we really supposed to just sit around and do nothing about it?

We shouldn't be protecting him because he is in the prosecution.

Chief told us to wait for now.

Mr. Hwang already told us that he tried to chase her

from the bar to her place.

He was lying.

He told us that he only figured out her address,

but it can't be true.

He must have met that girl that night.

I am convinced that is why he took us there.

He must have wanted our traces to get mixed

with the traces he left all over there.

How...

Ga-young Kim Age: 20.

Have a look.

I saw it at her place.

Her year of birth is listed as 1993 on her wireless carrier's records.

It was me.

I met up

with Moo-sung Park the night before he died.

I did it alone.

I'm telling you, Prosecutor Hwang and that girl

must know each other personally. I am sure of it.

When did he have time to print these photos?

He didn't take these when he went in there with Sergeant Kim. He must have had them

since before the incident took place.

Did he sneak into her place

and meet Ga-young there?

What if this isn't a costume,

but her actual high school uniform?

Then, she must have been a walking time bomb.

To some men, that is.

Wait, was he talking about himself?

STRANGER

Prosecutor Seo will be there soon to investigate Kyung-wan.

He and Ga-young went to the same high school.

I'm asking if you've forgotten what Mr. Park used to call her.

Bell.

Do you think he rang that bell only for me?

I heard that song when I called that girl.

The man who was in the room at the corner in the resort...

- Dong-jae Seo. - It's his ringtone.

It must've been your perfume that I smelled from Prosecutor Dong-jae Seo.

Why did he meet up with you again?

- Let go. - You let go first.
