That little rat.

So you are Gab-dong?

EPISODE 6

I came back because I had something to ask you,

since you were at the institute, too.

Gab-dong.

I was already interrogated, and I even have an alibi.

Why are you so defensive,

as if you're trying to hide something?

Why would I think that you're Gab-dong?

It's nothing like that.

I wanted to ask you, were there any rumors between the inmates?

Like who Gab-dong might be.

I'm not sure.

Well, there were a lot of rumors without any proof.

But who knows which of them is true?

Then...

what about anyone you're suspecting?

Anyone I'm suspecting?

To tell you honestly,

the person I would suspect is you, Detective Ha.

Sorry if that offended you.

Not at all.

Even other detectives think it's me.

Well, if detectives can't tell who Gab-dong is, how can I?

Unless he's a psychopath like me.

A psychopath like you?

They say a crazy person can recognize a crazy person.

Tae-oh, you should get going.

-Okay. -Why?

We just started talking.

A crazy person can recognize a crazy person.

Why didn't I realize that before?

I should have sent Young-chul Yook and Woon-gi Jung

to the Institute to catch Gab-dong.

Detective Ha, you should go too.

Or...

While we're on the topic,

why don't we do a fun test?

Police Mistake Colleague for Gab-dong

You can't even catch one madman?

This is a disaster.

Do you think we increased the budget

for you to make a mess like this?

I'm sorry.

That's not the point.

We might lose the public's trust.

By the way, sir.

Are we making conclusions without any basis

and just relying on the detectives?

I heard that in Japan, they are developing a machine

that can determine if someone is a psychopath or not.

We also use something called the PCL-R Test.

Korea developed tests like KCPI and PPI-R as well.

Psychopath test?

Like he just said,

a crazy person can recognize a crazy person.

PCL-R?

I tested normal.

Even Ho-jun Kang got only 27 points on it.

It's not that.

It's something more fun.

I found it while going through profiling documents.

It sounds like fun.

It's thrilling, maybe because I'm in front of a detective.

Then...

shall we start?

Two sisters went to their grandmother's funeral.

They met a man there, a distant relative.

But the problem was, that man

was the sisters' ideal man.

They were both troubled,

because they met the man of their dreams.

-And? -But the next day,

something scary happened.

The older sister

killed her sibling.

Why did she kill her sister?

Okay.

Try to answer it.

Jealousy?

That's what a normal person would say.

Of course, that's not what the test wants as an answer.

Then what about you?

What should I do?

I think I know the answer.

Do you want to know?

So you don't even have a suspect?

Other than your own colleague,

you didn't have anyone else to put in jail?

The case has become too big

for us at Iltan to handle on our own.

We'll set up a new investigation unit from the Gyeonggi district.

Then, who will be in charge

of the investigation unit?

The superintendent of criminal investigation for Gyeonggi-do.

Someone who knows a lot about Gab-dong

would be better.

ILTAN SERIAL MURDER CASE JOINT INVESTIGATION UNIT

I'm Cheol-gon Yang. I will be in charge from now on.

You've come from various places, and it will be a difficult case.

I'll make sure your hard work pays off.

Along with this case

and the original Gab-dong case,

let's reveal the secret together.

RESULT: 15/40 EXAMINEE: TAE-OH RYU

He didn't mention his father even to you, Doctor?

He should let it out to be healed,

but he would never talk about it.

I see.

I'm going to talk about something special during our session today.

Something special?

-What color do you see here? -Isn't it gray?

What else could it be?

Psychopaths see this as red

and even think it moves.

Really?

Why didn't you show this when Moo-yeom was here?

-Hey. -What?

Look who's here.

Are you back now?

I wasn't asked to return to work yet.

We're really short of people.

More like Mr. Yang is going to be short on fingers.

Because of him.

What?

Young-ae, I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

BACKGROUND CHECK

BACKGROUND CHECK TAE-OH RYU

Do you know the murder case of Taehyun Industries' President Ryu?

He's the son of President Ryu.

VICTIM: WON-JOON RYU

CAUSE OF DEATH: HEAD INJURY BY BLUNT WEAPON

He was there when his father was murdered.

Because of the trauma,

he became addicted to drugs.

This is a typical story.

This case...

There wasn't even a strong suspect.

That's why it was famous.

So this is another cold case.

And another thing.

This child was never interrogated.

What are you talking about?

What if...

Tae-oh Ryu...

I've never told anyone this story.

I think I can...

tell you.

Because I trust you.

I wonder how special it is

for you to beat around the bush so much.

Will you promise me?

That you'll watch me to the end?

What do you mean, watching you to the end?

The start and end...

of my misfortunes.

12 YEARS AGO

What are you talking about?

That child is a monster.

He's not someone we can handle.

Even so, he's our child!

How can we report our own son?

You saw it yourself.

You saw him throw his sibling out the window like a doll.

Let's just die.

Let's just all die together.

My father...

really thought I was special.

His interest in me burdened me.

Honey.

Please wake up, Honey!

Darling...

Tae-oh.

You... Did you...

Was it...

I...

I don't want to die, Mom.

You...

-Ma'am! -Ma'am!

Are you all right, ma'am?

Ma'am!

Let's take her outside.

Are you all right?

The suspect...

was never found.

That drives me crazy.

Hey, kid.

What if...

What if it was...

his first murder?

Goodness.

I was a constable then,

and in no place to dig deep.

But looking at the records,

there was no sign of resistance.

Isn't it weird?

Who killed my dad?

Who killed him?

Gab-dong?

Who is that?

So that's when it started.

Your hell, Tae-oh.

Yes.

The world started to look different.

Even when my friends were hyped about the World Cup,

I wasn't having fun at all.

Even with my favorite Gundam robot.

How old were you then?

Only 12 years old.

Back then.

I wanted to meet him since then.

My hero.

Gab-dong.

What if he's a psychopath?

Did you find any evidence?

If I did, why would I be here?

But there's something weird.

I can almost smell Gab-dong in him.

Unless he's desperate to be caught,

why would he do that to a detective?

What if...

I'm his Gundam robot?

You mean a toy?

Yes.

There was a stupid constable on the scene that day.

He was so fun to play with,

but he has now turned into

a detective in the violent crimes unit.

What if even as an adult,

he still wants to play with the detective?

It's a hypothesis.

A detective must know how to make a hypothesis.

You remind me of someone else who says that.

Mr. Han.

Why don't you help me find out more about him?

He keeps giving me weird signals.

"Catch me if you can."

But you know what bothers me the most?

He keeps...

lingering around Doctor Maria Oh.

What?

Maria?

I can't do that.

Because of Sun-wook.

I can't because of my son.

You have to do it because of your son.

Or else,

he'll be the one

who will suffer.

The fourth case

was the most controversial

among all Iltan serial murder cases.

20 YEARS AGO

The victim was a newlywed,

Yeo-jeong Kim.

I'm sorry, I think I have to go.

It's so late. Just go home tomorrow.

We only get to see each other on weekends.

Oh, you newlyweds.

You might run into Gab-dong.

Don't say that. It's scary.

I have this.

I should get going. Bye.

The victim was living at a worker's residence.

While walking to Iltan Station

to meet her husband on the weekend,

she was attacked by the suspect.

The next day, she was found under the Gusan waterway.

On the scene were a wedding picture, makeup,

a wallet, a whistle, and others.

Her hands were tied with her own underwear.

The MO was the same.

But the problem was this milk box.

From the DNA we collected in the third case,

we suspected that his blood type would be B.

But when we analyzed the DNA on the milk carton,

it turned out to be type AB.

That is the reason why we cannot be sure

that the fourth victim was murdered by the same person,

as in previous cases.

Mad Monk?

You surprised me.

Hey, get off me.

I won't.

You were discharged a long time ago, and now you show yourself?

I sent you over 100 text messages, and you never replied.

How did you get in here? Get out, now!

I don't want to!

Oh gosh.

Hold on.

Did you block me?

Hey!

Goodness.

Were you living here?

Yes, I was.

To see you.

DOCTOR MARIA OH

What do you think of Tae-oh Ryu? What do you mean?

What's your deal with her?

Are you cheating on me?

Cheating? Are you joking?

You assured me by stuffing me with noodles.

I'm going to get her!

I came here today for some coverage.

-Coverage? -Didn't I tell you?

I'm drawing a really famous webcomic serviced on Naver.

I wanted to see what a rehabilitation center was like.

What good are connections for?

Take me in with you.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

So you don't want to help. Is that it?

You're too young.

So you're discriminating me because of my age.

And because you're too pretty.

You...

That's pretty.

Where did you get that?

Did someone give it to you?

Could it be...

my Mad Monk?

I can't take you in there, but if you need anything...

Forget it. You're weird.

It's not even a big deal.

As for me...

This.

And this.

And this.

All of these are from Mad Monk.

Do you think that's all?

He's helping me so much

with my webcomic, The Way of the Beast.

Even if you don't take me in, I'll ask Mad Monk,

so don't think I need your help that badly.

-The Way of the Beast? -Don't you know it?

It's becoming a huge hit because it resembles the Gab-dong cases.

Can I see it?

MOO-YEOM HA

Why did you take me in?

You had nothing to gain.

If you just left me when my father died,

you would have avoided this mess.

Moo-yeom.

We're running low on rice.

When are they calling you back?

What happened to the money I gave you?

We're not the only people here.

The money you gave me was nothing.

You should have been more careful in spending it.

Other people have savings accounts and investments.

Gosh.

DOCTOR MARIA OH

Nobody was asking for me, so I was really bored.

I can't be more thankful.

While you're at it,

why don't you also buy me dinner?

Right.

Maybe your boyfriend might get upset.

What do you mean, "boyfriend"?

Aren't you dating Tae-oh Ryu?

Why would you think that?

I saw in Tae-oh's reports

that you were together during the first and third cases.

If it's that often,

you must be dating.

Will you...

be with him during the fourth case, too?

I called you because I have something to ask you.

I heard you helped Ji-wool Ma with her webcomic,

The Way of the Beast, and gave her the details of the cases.

Is that true?

I took a close look at it,

and I think the webcomic is a bit faster than reality.

What do you mean?

The way of the... what?

THE WAY OF THE BEAST

CLANK

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ARRESTING YOU. DON'T CAUSE ANY MORE TROUBLE!

BANG

ARE YOU GOING HOME? COME ON, I'LL BUY YOU COFFEE.

GASPING

STOP FOLLOWING ME!

SOMEONE HELP...

NO...

I GOT YOU.

DON'T KILL ME... PLEASE!

Gosh.

She said I told her all of that?

EYE DROP

Oh, it's really moist.

This is perfect.

What's with you? You called me first.

Are you sure you're not sick?

What do you want to eat?

The cheesecake here is good, and so are the croissants.

Do you even have a conscience?

What's up with you? Just tell me if you like me.

-Explain this. -What about it?

-I told you all of this? -She ratted on me already?

She started it.

How did you know the victim was a hair stylist?

It... It was a coincidence.

I uploaded it after the case,

but I wrote it way before that.

Then that makes even less sense.

-Are you the murderer? -What?

Is your webcomic a warning for murder?

Are you a shaman? If not, how did you know?

Actually...

Who is it?

Who is telling you all the information?

Is it Detective Nam or Detective Lee?

Tell me right now.

I'll kill them.

That idea was given to me by a friend.

Who?

He works here part-time in the afternoon.

He's here.

It's him.

Are you interested in Gab-dong,

or do you know who Gab-dong is?

What is it this time?

Is this because of that test last time?

I only said I think I know because I figured it out.

So you gave her ideas?

What's wrong with that? Is that a crime?

It depends on the idea. But...

-how did you know? -Know what?

Hairstylist.

It's very simple.

The original cases.

Just be a little creative, and the answer is there.

The DNA, hair.

Hair equals hairstylist.

-So it's all creativity? -Then what?

What do you think?

Are you saying I'm Gab-dong?

Yes, Tae-oh Ryu.

Are you Gab-dong?

Moo-yeom Ha.

You finally recognized me.

What did you want to see me for?

I wanted to congratulate you on your new position.

It's the least I can do.

I thought you ran away since you were so quiet.

Of course Moo-yeom Ha is the one to catch Gab-dong.

Actually,

I didn't find him,

but he found me.

He found you?

Mr. Kwon, it's me.

ARE YOU GOING HOME? COME ON, I'LL BUY YOU COFFEE.

What is it?

What did you talk to him about?

Don't ever see him again.

Is he...

really a psychopath?

INCOMING CALL

-Hello. -It's me, the rat.

Do you have some time?

That depends on what you want.

I think it's time for me to tell you the answer.

The answer?

Weren't you curious about my answer?

The sisters who saw their ideal man at a funeral.

The reason why the older sister killed her younger sister...

But...

If I tell you the right answer, will I be arrested as Gab-dong?

If we're arresting everyone who gets a quiz right,

no one would go on any quiz shows.

Do you really want to hear it?

If you do, you'll have a hard time.

The weather is really bad today, and my wound hurts.

So stop testing my patience.

You said they met a man, at a distant relative's funeral.

Could it be...

so that she could see him again?

To see him again, she needed another funeral.

Didn't she?

You little...

Who are you?

This jerk

just proved that he's a psychopath.

The fact that he came to tell him the answer is weirder.

He doesn't even look tough.

Inspector Cha, have you seen a psychopath before?

-Yes. -You have?

You must have forgotten about the murder factory case.

Can that be considered psychopathic?

Not some lunatic behavior?

Since you're being so friendly, let me ask you one more thing.

I think I'll pass on any more tests.

If I get it right again, you'll think I'm weird.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you doing this?

Why are you revealing yourself?

I'm not sure.

What's on the Internet is not the answer.

According to the FBI reports,

the answer psychopaths say

is jealousy between the sisters.

Really?

There were no other psychopaths

who answered that it was because she needed another funeral.

That's true.

There's no way you can determine a psychopath

through such a simple question.

That answer is...

something you coincidentally found out,

or read somewhere. But...

Why are you trying to prove to me who you are?

That's the question you should answer.

-Me? -Yes.

It's your turn now

to find out why I'm doing this.

Hide well, Maria Oh!

I said, I don't want to sell it.

Then lend it to me for a few days.

Since I'm jobless and all, I'll take this around for a trip.

Why don't you go back to Professor Han's?

And eat your mom's cooking. It will be nice.

Why are you doing this?

I'm getting kicked out from the temple.

Is it my unlucky year?

Everyone is telling me to get lost.

Tae-oh Ryu.

Is Tae-oh Gab-dong?

You're a scary woman.

You were with him all that time even though you knew?

I just needed assurance.

That Tae-oh really is Gab-dong.

CRIMINAL RECORD

Arrest him?

Arrest him and do what?

We can hold him for 48 hours until the expected fourth case.

Then what?

We'll have to let him go due to alibi and lack of evidence.

We should arrest him and then find evidence.

If we don't find proper evidence, we won't ever be able to catch him again.

Sir,

I was able to pull Tae-oh Ryu's messenger history as you asked.

I'm wondering if this person is the fourth targeted victim.

-Targeted victim? -Yes.

The doctor at the rehabilitation center, Maria Oh.

Seriously.

Jodie Foster will kneel before you.

Are you trying to imitate The Silence of the Lambs?

Brave, strong, smart and sexy.

Don't take it as a compliment.

This is no time to laugh.

This is reality.

There's a psychopath roaming around.

Then...

should I run away?

If I do,

will he give up?

Of course you should run.

Do you have two lives?

Don't reenact Jodie Foster and waste your young life.

Don't you dare even look

at Tae-oh Ryu with those huge eyes.

And also tell another doctor to take over him.

If that doesn't work, just take a sick leave.

Why aren't you answering me?

Do you understand?

Hide well, Maria Oh!

What is this?

It's not...

you, right?

I'm sorry?

How could you...

I guess...

you're the same too.

You're no different from everyone else.

-Does it upset you? -Yes.

To be honest, a lot.

I...

I thought you would be on my side.

Me too.

I hope it's not you.

I hope there is a chance where you can prove it.

Then,

will you stay with me on that day?

-That day? -Tomorrow is the fourth murder.

I'll show you that the world is wrong.

The world has misunderstood me.

So you don't trust me.

Sure.

Let's meet.

Let's meet tomorrow.

I can't do it.

Right.

If you don't do it, you'll die.

One more time.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors!

This time...

This time I won't.

So she'll do it?

I don't know why, but she says she will.

I've done a few bad things during my investigations,

but this is a first.

If we get her involved in this case

and she gets hurt...

Who says she'll get hurt?

I'll kill him before that happens.

What was that?

That look.

Don't be so fast to claim that you can save someone.

What hurts a detective the most

is when they fail to protect the one they love.

If you can't even protect the one you love...

If that happens to me,

I would throw my badge away.

We'll see.

But Doctor Maria Oh is interesting.

She's no Joan of Arc.

She's too brave for her own good.

It must be Professor Han's influence.

Professor Han?

He got married in Australia, remember?

Doctor Oh...

is his wife's daughter.

You're scared, right?

You regret it, don't you?

Do you want to take back your word?

Even if you back out now, no one will blame you.

Even if you run away now, it would be far from being cowardly.

I won't run away.

Why do you keep acting strong?

You said I'm Jodie Foster.

It really is my unlucky year.

I met such a stuck-up woman.

Thank you so much.

You never know.

You might catch Gab-dong thanks to me and return to your post.

If you're not running away...

If you're not running away,

then look at me only.

If you're not running away,

don't even step an inch outside of my view.

Seriously.

I wouldn't worry so much for a young child by the riverside.

I'm not your parent.

How can I rest easy?

ILTAN POLICE AGENCY

A trap?

No way!

Why not?

What if Doctor Oh is the one caught in the trap?

What if we get another victim? What will you do then?

It's too dangerous. Think about Detective Ha, too.

He's already pushed his limits.

Is that why?

Because you're worried about him?

Such rash strategies are not always the best.

Dear Chief Cha, who graduated summa cum laude in police school.

Did you learn Gab-dong's case through your textbook?

When you were demoted,

I got involved in the case too.

I almost got killed by Moo-yeom with his nunchaku.

That was you?

Chief.

Please don't presume to know everything about Gab-dong.

I'll choose what's best.

Me, the one who knows well about Gab-dong!

I'm the one in charge of this case!

Dear Chief Cha, who graduated summa cum laude in police school.

Did you learn Gab-dong's case through your textbook?

Wake up.

No matter how strong my lifeline is,

I won't live to see my 50th birthday as your mother.

What is it now?

What did you do again? Why are there policemen outside?

You're still chasing that crazy policeman, aren't you?

If you plan to keep this up,

just move out.

You don't think I would?

I know you don't have anywhere to go.

I'm serious, I'll leave.

But...

you know what day it is today, right?

I'm leaving.

Bye!

-Bye. -Goodbye.

Let's go.

-Bye, sir. -Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

Hello.

-Dad. -Hi.

See you later.

Dad, I scored twice today.

Really? You're so awesome. Good job.

Have you eaten? What about your snack?

Good job, son.

I honestly just want to punch him in the face.

Are you jealous because he's more handsome?

I can't even...

Hey, does that look like a man to you?

Tiger Detective and I are what you call real men.

Don't you have a mirror at home?

You little...

Heaven is so unfair.

That kid and Moo-yeom Ha...

Crazy people like them don't deserve good looks.

Hey, watch what you say about Detective Ha!

You!

Hey, big boy. I'm your senior.

What? I don't see him.

Go, quick!

-Are you all right? -I'm sorry.

-Are you hurt? -I'm okay.

Where could he be?

Over there.

TAE-OH RYU

Tae-oh, it's me.

Okay, I'll see you there.

How is the situation over there?

0 DAYS LEFT TO MURDER

Okay. Keep an eye on it.

This area. Focus on this area.

-Yes, sir. -Yes.

Hello, this is Iltan's situation room.

Are you having fun?

Yes.

You're really brave.

-Why do you say that? -You are.

I might be Gab-dong, right?

Because you said you would prove that you're not.

Today.

So there's at least one person

who believes me.

Doctor Oh.

Please, don't kill me.

Please...

Tae-oh Ryu!

Tae-oh Ryu, answer me!

ILTAN SERIAL MURDER CASE JOINT INVESTIGATION UNIT

Hello, this is Iltan's situation room.

I'm sorry?

Excuse me.

A body was found.

I was hooked.

Tae-oh Ryu,

I fell right into your trap.

That's right, Moo-yeom Ha.

I knew you would bite the bait.

-Blood! -Oh my god!

-It's horrible. -Yes, I think she's dead.

-Oh no. -What the...

-What in world... -Pass me a phone!

Go check out that side.

Due to the police's incompetency,

the Iltan serial murder case's fourth murder

was not prevented and happened right on the predicted date.

Cho, the suspect presumed to be Gab-dong,

is a 40-year-old janitor at a nearby elementary school.

As soon as Mad Monk takes the bait,

I'll become the suspect.

And...

it'll become the perfect escape from being a suspect.

That's the key

to the fourth case.

Cho was receiving social welfare

and lived with his eight-year-old son.

It was a huge surprise

that Cho worked in the same school as the victim.

Hey!

Keep it down.

Turn up the volume.

The police are trying to find out if Cho was holding a grudge

-against the victim -That animal!

by interviewing Cho's acquaintances. They are trying to figure out his motive.

The investigation is searching for a link between this case

and the last three cases.

Many are focusing on the findings of the investigation

to see if Cho is the murderer who created a nationwide commotion

through serial murder, and if he's the one we know as Gab-dong.

Mad Monk will prove it himself.

That I'm innocent.

You will see.

He will prove my innocence.

Did you know?

If a fish is hooked,

the more it tries to free itself,

the more it explodes in anger.

The more vigorously it flaps its tail, the faster it gets tired.

That makes it more fun.

That's...

the beauty of fishing.

Dad!

This is Hyung-nyeon.

I need approval for...

What are you planning to do?

Is that a real gun?

This is what you like.

Betting on people's lives.

Six against one is a pretty good probability.

Tell me. Who is Gab-dong?

Is this why you...

There are five chances left.

Who is Gab-dong?

Tell me now!

If you kill me,

the Gab-dong inside will never...

That's the end of your luck too.

There are only two more chances.

It's an ill-fated relationship,

but we should at least say goodbye.

Goodbye.

Gab-dong.

Hold on.

He played Russian roulette against an innocent civilian.

Detective Moo-yeom Ha.

I need to file a complaint.

Even murderers have rights.

Actually, Moo-yeom...

Never mind.

I wasn't sure...

what your relationship with Moo-yeom is.

Did something happen to him?

I'm not normal anymore.

I don't have emotions, and I cannot control my impulses.
