EPISODE 14

What does he look like?

It's hard to say.

I don't know how to explain.

It's as though...

I've seen him somewhere before.

I will leave it to you.

This girl...

I know her.

You know her?

She looks like the girl who worked at the coffee shop.

MISSING PERSON JEONG-SOOK LEE

How would you know someone that worked at a coffee shop?

She used to ask for the memorial services at our temple.

But why is she on this poster?

You look beautiful.

Congratulations!

We ask all of our guests

to always keep these two in mind.

We also ask you to give them advice and encouragement.

The bride and groom in return

should remember those who have attended here today

and thank them

by being happily married.

Does anyone object to this marriage?

I do.

That's Moo-yeom Ha.

-Oh my goodness! -What is he doing?

MOO-YEOM

Where are you?

I think he was chubbier.

Is this better?

No.

A little more.

Can you help us?

With what?

What about if we do this?

Give me a second.

Can you adjust his chin a bit higher?

Make his chin a little sharper.

A little bit sharper. Like this?

And then here...

Does it look similar?

Yes.

Gab-dong doesn't look so bad, does he?

That Gab-dong...

Oh, Do-hyeok.

We need to see what Gab-dong would look like in his 40s.

Should we call the Digital Forensic Center?

Yes.

You should.

Could you ask one more time?

Fine.

-Gosh. -It's all my fault.

-What did you do wrong? -I'll do anything you say.

-You'll do anything I say? -Please!

-Please... -Say it again.

-Keep begging. -Please don't hit me.

-Get off of me. -Don't hit me, please.

That's enough. Let's change the roles now.

The victim will now be the assailant.

-Assailant, come over here. -Okay.

-Sit here. -I'm sorry.

-Come over here. -Come on...

Sit.

Don't you know what you have done wrong?

Yes?

-Look at me. -Where do you want me to look?

Tell Tae-oh Ryu that I'm meeting him under the same conditions.

I have no reason to meet him unless he has more to confess.

That will be all.

Are you worried?

Don't worry about it.

In the end, you're going to accept it.

You're going to pretend you're worried for a while.

But you'll finally succumb.

Did you ask them to do this?

Did you ever see me as a person?

Your family is poor.

In fact, your family is extremely poor.

I guess that depends on your standard.

Compared to whom? Bill Gates?

Compared to Detective Ha.

That's unexpected.

Compared to Detective Ha who said,

"The poorest people are the ones with no compassion.

That is why you are rich."

With no compassion?

At first, I didn't understand what he meant by that.

But now I understand.

Your family

is really poor.

You and your mom

have nothing.

That's what I don't like.

I knew my family had problems.

But I never knew we were poor.

If you understand, then stop sending your lawyer.

Jeong-sook Lee

She used to ask me for her parents' memorial services.

Then suddenly, she stopped asking.

Look here.

In July, she didn't come for her father's memorial day.

April 22nd, 1990, April 22nd, 1991 April 22nd, 1992, April 22nd, 1993

April 22nd, 1994 April 22nd, 1995

If this was in 1995...

It was that time, right?

Yes, it was just prior to the eighth case.

That was the time when

all the ladies from the coffee shop left Iltan.

I didn't think much of it then.

I can't believe that she went missing.

By any chance,

do you know someone that would remember Jeong-sook Lee?

I'm not sure.

Right!

Perhaps...

Mr. Ha! Welcome.

Here.

You should eat something while you work.

Thank you.

-By the way. -Yes?

Are you sure that it's Jeong-sook?

Of course. How would I not recognize her?

While everyone left in fear of Gab-dong,

she stayed for quite some time.

Do you perhaps...

recognize this clothing? It might have belonged to her.

I'm not quite sure.

How did she end up being a missing person?

Please try to remember.

Is there anything you can recall?

This whistle...

Do you recognize it?

What is it?

What's wrong?

Do you recognize this whistle?

You know, the policewoman who passed away.

The one who went undercover at our coffee shop.

I can't bear to say her real name out loud.

What was the name that she gave?

-It was... -Oh, I know!

It was Eun-ji. Kim Eun-ji.

Yes, that's right! It was Eun-ji Kim.

She gave each of us a whistle,

in case of an emergency.

Eun-ji Kim...

JEONG-SOOK LEE EUN-JI KIM

Jeong-sook Lee and the eighth victim, Eun-ji Kim,

were identified as high school classmates.

Through the dental structures,

we confirmed the remains as those of Jeong-sook Lee.

This ends the investigation's progress report.

One of the bodies was kidnapped, while the other was displayed.

Don't you think assuming that it's Gab-dong without his signature

is going a bit overboard?

Is it?

We need to dig deeper.

Who knows? Maybe Jeong-sook Lee is trying to tell us something.

MISSING PERSON

JEONG-SOOK LEE, 21 YEARS OLD 165CM TALL, SKINNY

How will you figure it out?

You were the lawyer for the Texas boy case, right?

Are you planning on using Affluenza again?

This is another typical case of Affluenza.

Tae-oh was raised in a wealthy family with no father figure.

His mother favored his younger sibling

and could not control him.

-So... -Do you believe you can win?

Definitely.

We have evidence to support our argument.

What do you say about the law favoring the rich criticism?

McKean Law Firm will be perceived negatively as well.

Defending the rich always brings criticism.

We will endure it.

This case occurred during probation.

Just wait and see. Tae-oh will be identified as a mental patient.

Make sure you negotiate the consequences beforehand.

-Negotiate? -Yes.

Let's say he receives capital punishment.

Do you think anyone would actually sentence him to death?

Permit me to ask one question.

Why are you going this far?

Did the Taehyun Group pressure you?

How dare you question your senior!

Young-ae, did you print the documents?

Yes.

Thank you.

-Detective Ha. -Yes?

We found out that Jeong-sook Lee had an older brother

who migrated to the Philippines after retirement.

-Immigrated after retirement? -That's right.

-Okay, thanks. -No problem.

I visited Tae-oh Ryu.

Is that so?

I guess it was you who liked him after all.

It's a relief. Now I can finally get you off my back.

"You may not know

but I like you."

What's wrong, why are you acting like this?

That letter...

You may not know, but I like you. From Cyrbaby

is exactly how I feel.

I just didn't express it in words, but...

I can't live without you. You are the reason that I live.

I thought I made that obvious by now.

But why haven't you noticed me at least once?

Is that what love means to you?

Do you only see the person that you love?

Let's talk outside.

Man, it's a pity.

What does she lack that she has to settle for a man like him?

You see, Detective Ha is like a drug.

Once you have a taste of him, it's quite difficult to quit.

Are you writing a novel?

-Geez. -What?

I'm sorry.

I'm just worried about you.

You kept expecting something from Tae-oh Ryu.

Expecting something? Like what?

Expecting him to change.

But people like him don't change.

Who wrote that letter in the first place?

Why isn't anyone claiming it?

I know who wrote it.

I think the guy next door donated this book.

Here.

Is there a perfect crime? December 24, 1993, Do-hyeok.

You give this to him.

You may not know but I like you.

Who wrote this letter?

See you later. From Crybaby.

Even if she had a gun, she wouldn't have shot anyone.

There's a reason why her nickname was Crybaby.

The late Eun-ji Kim liked Do-hyeok.

I think the montage is almost finished.

Really?

He was handsome when he was young,

but even Gab-dong can't defy the laws of aging.

But it's strange.

What is?

Maybe it's because I kept looking,

but it feels like déjà vu.

Déjà vu?

You're not thinking of me?

Maybe it's someone around you.

There's a book like that.

"Psychopath Next Door, Psychopath At Work."

Come to think of it,

today's our first official date.

I'm really excited.

I'll see you later.

By the way, the Chief Director of the investigation,

can you give me his number?

You mean Do-hyeok?

Why?

ILTAN POLICE AGENCY

What?

You want to testify once more?

There were some things I didn't say when I was younger.

About what Gab-dong did to Hye-jin and me.

I remember everything now.

I want to make an official testimony once more.

Maybe we can discover another clue.

Okay, thank you.

But why didn't you tell Moo-yeom?

I was too embarrassed.

In front of him,

I don't think I will be able to talk well.

Thank you for delivering this to me.

I didn't know Eun-ji had someone that she liked very much.

It's a relief, really.

But...

it must be tough with the memorial day approaching.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

I wasn't sure whether it was hers or not,

-so I hesitated for a bit. -It belongs to Eun-ji for sure.

It's her handwriting.

More importantly...

This is...

the last Parents' Day letter that Eun-ji gave to us.

Even the paper is identical.

It's really hers.

Who was

the person that Eun-ji liked?

She loved a very good detective.

Great in both his skills and character.

I promise you

that he will

catch Gab-dong for sure.

Will you

go and have dinner with me?

You must be exhausted

from all the crying.

Hye-jin and I...

kept giving rocks.

We felt like we shouldn't change it.

Because we were worried that someone's fate would be altered.

But...

then I realized

that I changed it from rock to paper without even knowing it.

Rock, paper, scissors!

I fainted the moment I won.

I thought I'd live.

But...

that wasn't true.

That monster...

was just mocking me.

Mocking my wish to live.

Were you happy

that you won?

That crazy monster.

He asked you...

if you were happy that you won?

Yes.

The secret of the ninth case

is that nobody knows why Gab-dong disappeared.

Maybe for the first time,

he felt a sense of compassion for me.

I'm sick of hearing about compassion.

You solved the ninth case.

It was a good decision to make you the chief director.

Hey.

What are you doing out here?

Detective Ha didn't show up.

We were supposed to have dinner together.

I see.

Why would he...

There must be something more urgent than seeing me.

He shouldn't be that busy.

He must be with Ji-wool.

That man...

He should still keep the order of things.

You ended up getting Tae-oh Ryu's confession.

You're a tough woman.

You've beaten him.

Were you happy...

that you won?

Pardon?

Oh, yes.

This keeps on coming off.

Do you need help with that?

Were you happy...

that you won?

Were you happy...

that you won?

He's still in Junggga-dong.

Maybe he found something.

Found what? Junggga-dong?

He asked for Eun-ji Kim's address.

Why are you looking for Detective Ha?

Dr. Oh was waiting for him.

When you put these information together...

Come in.

-Hello. -Welcome.

It's my honor to have you here.

Welcome.

I'm sorry I couldn't drop by more often.

-Here. -Oh, you didn't need to.

How is the composite sketch coming along?

Would you like some coffee? Or something else?

Anything will be fine.

Hey.

What are you waiting for?

What brings you here?

I thought Professor Han might want to know our progress.

Where have you been?

I had dinner with Dr. Oh.

Really?

So will the investigation continue at the headquarters?

Since Dr. Oh is still probing Tae-oh Ryu for his other crimes,

they probably will until the trial.

At least we've won half the game since we've caught one of the two.

How's Maria doing nowadays?

What did you have for dinner?

Something good.

Like what?

You don't have to worry about that.

So, that time you...

Is that the guy?

Is he?

-My goodness. -Oh, dear!

Lower your voice.

Don't cry.

It's more fun when you cry.

What are you so sad about?

Moo-yeom...

What are you up to?

Why?

Why would you lie?

Good job.

It must have reminded you of Eun-ji.

Do you know Eun-ji, Professor Han?

She was a soft-hearted girl.

It bothered me when she said

she was going undercover as a coffee delivery lady.

Do you know her?

I met her over a thousand times over the documents.

Are there any clues in the letter?

No, not really.

From which case...

did Chief Cha start working at the Police Agency?

That's...

-Hello. -Detective.

This is Eun-ji's mother.

Yes, Ma'am.

The more I think about it, I feel bad that my daughter

didn't even get to confess her feelings before she died.

If it's okay with him,

can you tell him how she felt?

Who did you have dinner with?

I just went on a date with someone.

I met the victim's mom from the eighth case.

I met her because there was a love letter that wasn't sent.

I still have it.

-Why? -She asked to pass the letter.

But it's...

It's not as easy as it sounds.

Because the recipient is Do-hyeok.

It will be a shocking news for him.

He never even dated. He got married at an old age.

It may be his first love.

The victim of the eighth case

was a female police officer, right?

Yes.

If I may ask...

What kind of a person is Do-hyeok?

You've met him before.

He's like a gentle neighbor and a good policeman.

Why? Is he your type?

No. That's not what I meant.

Do you think...

Never mind. I must be mistaken.

ILTAN POLICE AGENCY

We finally got in touch with her brother in the Philippines.

In 1995, when he was serving in the military,

he received a letter from Jeong-sook. She said she

would visit him on June 6, Memorial Day.

It seems she disappeared after that.

The brother didn't know that she worked at a coffee shop.

We are estimating that she went missing on June 6, 1995.

That is two days after the eighth case.

I caught Gab-dong!

Do-hyeok?

-Moo-yeom. -Oh, my.

It's just you.

I thought you were Gab-dong.

I also thought you were Gab-dong.

A student shouldn't be out this late.

It's Memorial Day tomorrow. It's a holiday.

Do-hyeok, you're bleeding.

You may not know but I like you. From Crybaby.

-Hyung-nyeon. -Yes?

Do you have an envelope?

Do-hyeok, there's something I want to talk to you about.

-Have a seat. -Let's go for a morning drink.

I'll talk better with alcohol.

EVIDENCE COLLECTED AT THE SCENE

EVIDENCE COLLECTED AT THE SCENE CASE NAME: EUN-JI KIM

To be honest,

I met with Eun-ji's mother yesterday.

Is that so?

She...

left something before she died.

Did you find any clues?

This is harder than I thought.

What did you find out? Why are you hesitating?

It's something sad.

That's strange.

Let me see what it is.

It belongs to you.

Eun-ji wrote you a letter...

before she died.

A letter?

You may not know but I like you. From Crybaby.

Are you okay?

Was this it?

What?

Yes.

You may not know but I like you. From Crybaby.

I had no idea.

I didn't know Eun-ji had feelings for me.

Hello?

Are you visiting National Forensic Service or not?

You go ahead. I'm going to go a bit later.

My heart aches.

Was this it?

I had no idea.

I didn't know Eun-ji...

had feelings for me.

Go to the lab by yourself.

Where are you going now?

I'm a little worried about something.

Are you planning to quit?

I am the head of the household.

I will stay until I get fired.

If you're unsure about this, you might as well join the army.

I will do my best, Chief.

I pledge allegiance.

Since I was a rookie,

you were my role model.

Moo-yeom, you want to practice with nunchakus?

You just figured it out?

That I am...

Gab-dong.

DO-HYEOK CHA

Why aren't you in bed?

Don't...

try to be a hero.

There's a very thin line between being a hero and a psychopath.

Hannibal, Napoleon, and Hitler.

Do you know what they have in common?

They are all psychopaths who became heroes.

When things get ugly in life,

people start looking

for a hero.

But,

in order to be great,

there are too many things to sacrifice.

One's life, one's possessions,

and one's feelings.

Either you step on them or you ignore them.

Why are you suddenly preaching?

What do you want to tell me?

Don't use Gab-dong as an excuse for causing harm to someone.

What kind of harm?

I'm just worried about you.

You can be a bit of a psycho at times.

-Me? -Your craziness.

No way.

No one's going to blame you

for not being able to catch Gab-dong.

Numerous people tried, but failed.

Thinking that you can catch him is ignorance.

Just let it go.

I'm sure he is somewhere

having a nervous breakdown.

There is a reason for the statute of limitations.

During that time,

the assailant is also punished...

What if,

he is not having a nervous breakdown?

What if he's still...

scheming to do something?

What's wrong?

I just came to see you.

After all, we live under the same roof.

I shattered...

Gab-dong's skull

in my dream.

What are you going to do

when we capture him?

In Spain,

a mother met the man who raped her own daughter.

After a few years in jail,

the rapist

asked her whether her daughter was doing okay.

Being so angry,

she purchased gasoline and went to the barber shop where he was

and burned him alive.

There was a debate whether she was guilty or innocent.

In the end, she was sentenced to prison.

Why are you telling me this?

I just...

remembered the story.

How about you? What will you do?

Did you

find out who Gab-dong is?

If I knew, I wouldn't be here.

ILTAN POLICE AGENCY

What happened to my reinstatement?

I'm sorry, as of now...

I understand.

Perhaps I don't know my place for asking such a favor.

-Then... -But more importantly,

I heard that the eighth case's victim wrote a letter to you.

Moo-yeom was worried about you.

Do you think I could perhaps see that letter?

Never mind, here I go again.

I'm sure you would have found clues on it, if it had any.

This is

the fate of a detective.

It's really a curse.

Here is the testimony.

"Do-hyeok Cha, the platoon leader of the police squad.

During hospitalization with a skull fracture caused

by nunchaku, gave a testimony on the accident."

But...

why are you interested in his testimony?

We need to cover for him.

What?

Did you know that Detective Pae was murdered?

We need to verify the identity

in case of a similar accident.

Make sure you keep an eye on him.

Because he is the real Gab-dong.

Chief Yang,

I need to see you.

-Why? -Because I miss you.

Stop being so cheesy.

I'm on my way to Japan.

My ex-wife wants to see me.

According to a study,

psychopaths have an admiration for detectives

because of their desires to take control.

Although, most of them failed the police exam

and to live out fake lives, some became detectives.

Those people misuse such an honorable occupation.

Gerald Sheff was one of them.

Even Gyung-chul Yoo made a fake police identity card.

If it happened in real life, it will be a problem.

But it happened in a webcomic.

So what will happen to the woman?

She will write a letter, confessing her feelings

to the psychopath detective who lived with her.

But that letter will be only read after 20 years.

Because the day she writes the letter,

she will be murdered by that same detective.

She said Do-hyeok was her type.

Here's a photo of him of when he was young.

Maria, are you all right?

What?

Oh, yes.

You will never succeed at your second attempt.

If you do anything reckless,

I will catch you for sure.

You're thinking the same thing as me, right?

I wished it wasn't him.

Not him.

Unfortunately, it seems...

that he is Gab-dong.

I needed your confirmation.

How could you?

How could you?

Are you satisfied that you know who Gab-dong is?

That can't be all, right?

But how could he?

The man we trusted so much...

Go.

Go up to him and punch him. And call him a monster.

Kick him with those legs and curse him to die.

If that's good enough for you.

True anger

isn't good enough.

Now we have to prove it.

That he's the beast.

We have to deal with the statute of limitations,

and find out what hidden crimes the beast has committed.

This is why the statute is an annoying thing.

The moment you catch him, the one who catches him suffers more.

Then we should...

-We should just... -We can't kill him.

That's too easy.

The real statute of limitations has begun.

As long as he's alive,

we need to use this time

as a new statute of limitations.

Was this it?

Did he really do this?

It was an insult.

It wasn't just discarding the letter

but stomping on her love,

her dignity, and her everything.

It must've been ecstatic

crushing everything that woman had, in public.

I don't know who this is, but I agree he's a psychopath.

Did you find Gab-dong?

I can't tell you for free.

You need to help me.

How?

Tell me how...

I can put that bastard behind bars.

I'm going to offer a fun game.

A game that's very advantageous to psychopaths like you.

A chicken race.

A chicken race?

CHICKEN RACE, A RACE THE PLAYERS DRIVES AT FULL SPEED THEN STOP NEAR A CLIFF

Why?

Are you scared?

Of course not.

If you're scared, then don't bother.

Can I...

be the judge?

The one that gets closer to the edge of the cliff wins.

The one who loses

will be the hound for catching Gab-dong.

You want to quit, right?

Are you scared all of a sudden?

Isn't it scary? It's like someone is going to die.

No.

Because no one is going to die.

So, let me know who Gab-dong is.

Mr. Cha.

Get in. I'll give you a lift.

This is my lucky day.

Do you know who Gab-dong is?

Of course.

Who is he?
