Thank you for having me.

Have a seat.

Come in.

I'm here, Father.

This is my second son.

This child's father died
before they were even born!

I...

I will not raise my child
as part of your family.

And I refuse to be a
daughter to this family.

Tae Joo, Sun Yeong was in a car accident.

You need to get here fast.

Sun Yeong.

Sun Yeong. It's me.

I'm here.

Please, open your eyes.

Sun Yeong...

They delivered the baby.

The baby's in an incubator now.

The baby's okay, right?

We can't be sure. The baby was
delivered at less than seven months,

so it's too early to tell if
there will be any disabilities.

- What about Sun Yeong?
- She has a severe head injury.

We've only managed to stop
the most critical bleeding for now.

Do you know why she had this accident?

She was trying to get to you.

She ran out of the house
and ended up like this.

How can you even say that?

Who just showed up out of
nowhere and messed with her head?

If you hadn't interfered, she
wouldn't have been in this state!

Fine.

Then you make the choice.

If you want to continue living as
her brother, as you always have,

then so be it.

But...

I will wash my hands of her.

Then get out of here. Right now.

Let's go.

Wait, Father.

Father, wait, just a
moment. Father. Father!

Open your eyes.

Hey, Tae Joo, what are you
doing? Only Father can save her now.

- Not you.
- Shut up and get the hell out.

Sun Yeong.

- Sun Yeong! Hey, hey! Sun Yeong?
- Nurse!

Sun Yeong, stay with me! Hey! Hey!

What's happening? No!

Doctor.

How is she?

It's a brain hemorrhage.
She needs surgery now, but

there's no one at this hospital
who can perform the operation.

Then what do we do?
We have to transfer her.

It'll be too late by then.

Chairman Cha called a
surgeon. Weren't you aware?

Yes, I...

Right.

Father, Tae Joo is here.

Please save Sun Yeong.

Father.

Please, save her.

If you just save her,

I'll do anything.

Anything?

Leave Kangseong.

Don't show up in Kangseong again

in front of me, my family, or Sun Yeong.

Do I have your word?

I promise.

I promise.

(Muil Inn)

Hey, Kang Tae Joo.

You're just leaving like this? Seriously?

Sun Yeong is still in a coma.
The killer hasn't even been caught.

I'm sorry.

Tae Joo.

Why? Hey!

Hey! Just tell me. Why?
Talk to me. Tell me now!

Tell me. There has to be
a reason you're doing this.

Ji Won.

To be honest, I scoffed at him.

Hiding behind the name Scarecrow,

just some inhuman bastard
who goes around killing people.

I thought I'd catch him in no time.

I told myself I'd catch him and
leave Kangseong immediately.

But now...

There's nothing more I can do.

Nothing at all.

I don't even know who the
real Scarecrow is anymore.

Kang Tae Joo, you listen to me.

If you walk away right now,

I'm never seeing you again.

We're done.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

(The Scarecrow)

Took you longer than I expected.

Man, I was starting to think you were dead.

You son of a gun.

Tae Joo,

let me give you some friendly advice.

Listen to Si Yeong.

Or next time, you could end
up buried alive without a trace.

Hey, you've got your
sister to think about too.

(Episode 11)

One of them was a child.
And what do you suppose

the other one is?

Want a hint?

This was another rather
unfortunate incident.

Because an innocent man

was caught instead of me.

And the one who put him behind bars

was none other than

you.

Don't tell me... Are you
talking about the seventh case?

That's right.

I committed that one too.

- Chief, I brought them.
- Sheesh, what took you so long?

What? Why is there only one?

- I said 2 boxes of parts.
- You said 1 box.

Look, if you're going to be
slow, at least you could listen.

I said two boxes. Two!

I'm sorry. I'll go get the other one.

What? I heard he had a
record, but he's a sex offender?

- I heard he even killed someone.
- That thing isn't even human.

All right, back to work, everyone.

(Sunjeong Parts)

(Sunjeong Parts)

Seok Man.

Tae Joo?

Do you

remember me?

Seok Man.

Why are you here?
What's the charge this time?

You live alone?

No family with you?

Who wants to live with an
ex-con? Say your piece and get out.

And stop bothering me.

Seok Man.

About the Kangseong Serial Murders...

Did you hear they caught the real killer?

What's that got to do with me?

The real killer

confessed to the seventh murder as well.

Is that

really true?

Yes.

I told you.

I told you over and over!

I kept telling you I was innocent.

You should've believed me
then. Why tell me this now?

- I'm sorry.
- After 30 years as a murderer?

So why tell me now?

I...

I did you a terrible wrong.

- I'm sorry.
- What good will "sorry" do now?

Can you give me my life back?

My family, my friends!

I lost even my youth! All of it! And now...

You shouldn't have even told me.

You should have just
let me go on not knowing.

I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

That bastard... Who is he?

The killer, I mean.

Lee Gi Hwan.

Remember him?

Gi Beom's older brother.

No way.

You're saying Gi Hwan is the killer?

What kind of brother does that?

He just watched as I took the fall
for his crime and went to prison?

And Gi Beom adored him.

Besides, he was your friend, wasn't he?

How could you have a murderer
right beside you and not know?

I have no excuse.

It's just so unfair.

Gosh, it's so unfair I could scream.

You have every right to feel wronged,

and angry.

But we have to set things right.

Seok Man.

Let's file for a retrial.

(Law Office of Cha Yeon Ho)

With all this, I'd say we
have a very strong case.

- Really?
- A tortured confession is illegal.

And forcing an illiterate person to
sign a confession is inexcusable.

And most importantly, the
real perpetrator has confessed,

so it gives us a huge advantage.

("Police Make Emergency Arrest...")

("Woman's Body Found In Kangseong County")

("Police Let Kangseong Serial
Killer Slip Through Hands")

(Third Victim Found, Face of the Killer)

Lee Yong Woo confessed to
14 cases, 12 plus an additional 2.

Aside from the nine Kangseong
Serial Murders, which are well known,

the initial 12 cases include these 3 cases.

Two in Cheongju,

and one in Muwon.

- Did he confess to the last two?
- Yes.

One of them was

- an eight-year-old, Yoon Hye Jin.
- Hold on.

Who? Yoon Hye Jin?

- Yes.
- Are you familiar with the case?

Yes, back when I was
at the Kangseong Daily,

her parents

put a missing child ad in our
paper. They were on TV too.

Yes, that's right. They were
on a crime show in 1988.

My goodness.

So this is how it ended for her.

And the other one?

It was...

It was the seventh case.

- The seventh case? The copycat?
- Yes.

Turns out Lee Yong Woo
was behind that one too.

But he already served 20 years and got out.

Leave it to our Center Director.
Such incredible foresight.

So that's why you had
the rookie look into it.

How did you know?

But...

Why is it 12 plus 2 and not 14?

(Murders 12 plus 2)

That's a good point.

Why single out just two of the cases?

Jang Myeong Do and Do Hyeong Gu retired,

but Park Dae Ho is still active.

On top of that, the lead
prosecutor is an assemblyman.

What happens if they
all deny the allegations?

I don't know. Surely one of them will talk?

Sir, you have a lunch meeting
with Assemblyman Woo Sang Hoon.

Cha Si Yeong.

Sir?

Look who it is.

Kang Tae Joo.

Man. How long has it been?

You guys head on in. I'll
catch up with my friend.

I can't believe it.

I catch your show every now and then.

The profiler one?

It suits you.

You heard that the true killer

of the Kangseong Serial
Murders has been caught, right?

Of course I did.

It's funny

how life works.

He was nowhere to be found
when we were desperately searching.

Now that everyone's
forgotten, he finally shows up.

I guess this is what they
mean by "justice will prevail."

We're still a long way from justice. So

why don't you make sure that it does?

- What are you talking about?
- The real killer

has confessed to everything.

Im Seok Man and Yoon
Hye Jin cases. Both of them.

Yoon Hye Jin?

The child you buried.

Now it's your turn to reveal the truth.

- I have no idea what you're saying.
- Hey, Cha Si Yeong.

Uncle.

Gi Beom?

- Yes.
- Uncle, I wasn't expecting you.

Hey, you should've
called if you were coming.

Let me see my guest off and I'll head up.

Go up there.

You're Kang Tae Joo, the profiler, right?

- Yes.
- If I'd known you knew my uncle,

I would've come over to
say hello much sooner.

I'm Cha Yeong Beom.

Professor, I'm a huge fan.

(Cha Yeong Beom)

Cha Yeong Beom.

- Nice to meet you.
- All right. Go on upstairs.

What brings you here anyway?

Our appointment isn't for a while.

I was in the neighborhood,
so I just dropped by.

I had some time to kill.

And you think I don't have anything to do?

I know, I know. Our
assemblyman is a very busy man.

But I missed you. What
was I supposed to do?

What?

So, Uncle, how do you know
Professor Kang Tae Joo?

We are not that close.

I just ran into him by chance.
For the first time in 30 years.

But why do you ask about Kang Tae Joo?

Oh, it's because...

(Cha Si Yeong, Singukdang
Party Assemblyman)

Uncle, I have to take this call.

Okay.

Hello?

Yes, Reporter Min.

(Assemblyman's Office)

Yoon Hye Jin?

The child you buried.

Nothing else on the schedule today, right?

You have dinner with your son,
brother, and sister-in-law tonight.

Did I make those plans?

Since it's your birthday, your
son asked me to plan a dinner.

I did report this to you, ma'am.

Right. Okay.

So, I started working at a news agency.

It's been two months now.

Which one?

It's an alternative news
outlet called Noise Cut.

Did you know about this?

I heard about it recently.

I've never even heard
of the place. Honestly.

If I'd known, I'd have
inherited the Kangseong Daily.

So I could've given it to Yeong Beom.

Right?

- Legacy media isn't really for me.
- Honestly.

You always have to be so difficult.

Who does he get it from?

Who do you think he takes after?

I don't think he gets it from your side.

Must be from his dad's side, then?

Honey.

I even landed an exclusive.

It's one of the Kangseong
Serial Murders cases.

You're what?

Not the Kangseong Serial Murders
case, but the seventh incident.

Drop it.

Now that they've supposedly
caught the real culprit,

you're probably just
digging around for a scoop.

No, it's not like that.

Yeong Beom.

I think I should be going.

I have an important appointment later.

Sun Yeong.

I sincerely wish you a happy birthday.

Thank you.

You've barely touched your food.

Why don't you pack it up
and eat it at home, then?

I'll walk my aunt out.

Are you really going to let
Yeong Beom be like this?

I know you're busy with
the foundation, but still.

If you had been paying attention...

And why's that?

Are you afraid of what
Yeong Beom might find out?

Yeong Beom...

He might go looking for
Kang Tae Joo any day now.

(Missing Person)

What's that supposed to mean?

What kind of cops are they?
Dad, don't just stand there.

Say something to him.

Back then...

I should have listened to you then.

Thirty years ago,

you told me about it, Detective.

(Missing Person)

That my Hye Jin was dead.

What do you mean?

How can you say our child is dead?

Where? Was her body found?

No.

But I know for a fact

- that Hye Jin is dead.
- How can you be so sure?

Have you seen her body?

We received a tip from
someone who saw her body.

And who was that?

That's...

Unbelievable.

This so-called tip...

That tip could be a
prank, for all you know.

You need to let go of any hope
that Hye Jin is coming back.

And stop searching for her.

Just...

Just accept that she's
dead and live your lives.

- Mom!
- Get out!

- Mom!
- Don't you dare come here!

Do you hear me?

Hye Jin.

My wife

went out looking for our
daughter the day before she died.

Honestly...

She was like the living dead.

Even when she was alive,
she wasn't really living.

(Missing Person)

That...

That killer.

Could I meet him?

You mean Lee Yong Woo?

So, we're looking to put
together a special reporting team.

How many can we get right now, Director?

- We have three or four available.
- Three or four...

- Here's the file on Lee Yong Woo.
- Right.

(Personal Information)

(Sex: Male)

Center Director?

Is something wrong?

Do you know him or something?

No way. How would she know Lee Yong Woo?

Her hometown is Kangseong, you know.

- Just continue with the report.
- Yes, ma'am.

Kang Tae Joo is the only one
meeting with Lee Yong Woo.

- Did Kang Tae Joo volunteer for it?
- No. According to the rumor,

Lee Yong Woo specifically requested him.

Lee Yong Woo himself?

Yes.

And you don't know why?

That's right.

What in the world is he thinking?

So it was you then too?

Dad? What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?

(Musan Prison: Where Hope Begins)

I can't listen to it.

That monster

describes how he killed my daughter...

I just can't do it.

Okay, Dad. Then...

I'll go in.

You just wait here,
Dad. All right? I'll be...

Could you please look
after my father for me?

- Of course.
- I'll be right back.

(Musan Prison: Where Hope Begins)

(Pause)

(Corrections)

Professor Kang told me

about you.

That you're related to that girl.

When my sister went missing,

I was only six years old.

But I remember everything.

I remember our home
being filled with laughter.

But after that case,
everyone stopped laughing.

Why did it have to be my sister?

Why should she be the victim?

I...

am also very sorry.

That day...

At that very moment,

she just happened to be passing by.

She was just incredibly unlucky.

That's...

That's all you have to say?

Oh, dear.

Look,

it's truly a shame.

Professor.

Mr. Cha.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Sorry to just drop in like this.

I didn't intend to see you in person today.

I was just going to leave
a message with your T.A.

No, it's perfectly fine.

So what brings you here?

While I was investigating
the Im Seok Man case,

I came across something called
Radioactive Isotope Analysis.

It seems you were the one who submitted it.

(Radioactive Isotope Analysis Results)

Back then, forensic science didn't exist.

Determining blood type
was about the extent of it.

So, it's true that I was quite
taken with this analysis at the time.

So, are you saying you
no longer trust the analysis?

Of course not.

Since it was used as evidence in court,

I bear a great deal of the responsibility.

You look disappointed in me.

Not at all.

I'm impressed by how frankly
you're admitting your mistake.

It's only right.

By any chance, did the prosecutor
also know it was inaccurate?

Hard to say.

Even if he had known,

it wouldn't have been
easy for him to admit it.

I see.

Thank you for your time today.

Don't mention it.

Have you had lunch?

Yes. I ate it already. I
have another appointment.

Make sure you're eating well.

Don't go around skipping meals.

You sound just like my uncle.

My uncle always asks if I've
eaten whenever he sees me.

(Gyeonggi Eastern Police Agency)

Excuse me.

I'm here to see Commissioner Park Dae Ho.

Do you have an appointment, sir?

- No.
- And who should I say is here?

Tell him Kang Tae Joo is
here. He'll know who I am.

One moment, please.

Who?

Kang Tae Joo.

I have a guest. Tell him to wait. Okay.

So this won't cause you
any trouble, Assemblyman.

I'll take care of everything.

My friend,

you always handle things cleanly.

I know that very well.

Here, have some of this too.

You're too kind. I can't
possibly eat all this.

It's all thanks to you that
Dae Ho got his promotion.

No, that wasn't me. Detective
Park earned it himself.

I'm sure Detective Park will do
well and take wonderful care of you.

I love the sound of that.

- Go on, please eat.
- Thank you for the meal.

Your mother certainly
worries about you a lot.

So what brings you to my house?

You're a good detective,

but you have a loose tongue.

I heard you told Kang Tae Joo
something you shouldn't have.

I'm going to turn myself in.

Fine, then.

But you'll take the fall for this alone.

What? No, what are you...

But you're the one who ordered me to do it!

Me, Detective Jang, and Detective Do.

If the three of us align our story,
whose do you think they'll believe?

It's your mother I feel sorry
for. She's so happy about

your promotion,

with no idea you're about
to be put in handcuffs.

Just think about one thing.

What is truly best for your mother.

Dae Ho.

You need to tell the truth
so we can find Hye Jin.

If you say Cha Si Yeong
ordered it, they'll go easy on you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What's gotten into you?

Are you being threatened or something?

Are you?

No. You'd have to do something
wrong to be blackmailed.

And what am I supposed to have done?

Dae Ho, come on. If you hide
this, what about Hye Jin's family?

Come on, you saw them. They
don't even know she's dead.

They'll spend their
lives searching for her.

Can you really live with yourself
pretending you don't know?

Like I said,

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I didn't realize you and
Cha Si Yeong were so close.

I wouldn't call it "close,"

but it's true that we've maintained
a connection over the years.

Then I guess you've
already heard why I'm here.

I met with Hye Jin's father.

Her mother has already passed away.

Her father begged me

to at least help him
find his daughter's body.

Back then,

I understand you probably
didn't have a choice.

Right. You were probably being threatened.

But things are different now.

You're not just a sergeant
anymore. You're a commissioner.

It's late, I know,

but isn't it time to
tell Hye Jin's family

the truth?

Dae Ho.

Honestly.

You haven't changed a bit, Tae Joo.

The young Park Dae Ho I used to know

was curious and brimming
with a sense of justice.

- He was always so eager to learn.
- Tae Joo.

So what are you getting at, exactly?

I wonder how things would've turned out

if you'd started your career

somewhere other than Kangseong.

And that

is something I deeply
regret and feel sorry for.

What?

Kang Tae Joo went to see you?

To my office, of all places.

Does that son of a gun still think
I'm the same guy I was 30 years ago?

My name is on apartment
buildings all over South Korea.

The nerve of him!

So, what did he want?

He said the statute of limitations is up.

That no one would be punished.

He wants me to confess everything
in court and give a proper apology.

Unbelievable.

Classic Kang Tae Joo.

He always puts his whole heart
into the most useless things.

We should have just buried
that bastard back then.

Why'd you let him live?
That wasn't like you.

(Pork Innards Restaurant)

Are you just going to let this go?

Leave him alone.

Anyway, the statute of limitations is up.

There's nothing he can do,
so he's just grasping at straws.

Just to ease his own conscience.

But you make an
exception for him, don't you?

It's like you can't stand him,
but that's not the whole story.

But then again, it's not
like you like him either.

It's probably because of
Sun Yeong and Yeong Beom.

No, no. It started way before that.

Ever since we were in school.

(Pork Innards Restaurant)

So you're saying every single
one of them is playing dumb?

Tell me about it.

Don't you think this is all backwards?

Even I, a murderer, tell the truth,
while the cops are the ones lying.

Gi Hwan.

Could you testify as a
witness at Seok Man's trial?

Why should I?

Right now, you're the only one
who can prove Seok Man is innocent.

Come on, that's asking a bit much.

I think I've already
done my part, don't you?

You said 12 plus 2.

Why you separated the Im Seok
Man and Yoon Hye Jin cases.

That's right, the 12
cases. Those were all you.

But in the other two cases,
there were culprits other than you.

Didn't you think those culprits
deserved punishment just like you?

You're spot on.

I'm not just trying to prove
Im Seok Man's innocence.

What the prosecution and the
police did to Seok Man, and

what they did to Hye Jin and her family...

I want to expose it all.

But

that's your business, not mine.

You'll have to find another way, friend.

If Lee Yong Woo doesn't testify,
the prosecution will have an edge.

That's exactly what the perpetrators want.

And as it happens, the prosecutor
served Assemblyman Cha for years.

If so, the trial will go exactly
how Assemblyman Cha wants.

I wonder how they're
planning on spinning this.

So,

Im Seok Man's retrial is happening soon.

And we all might be called to testify.

You're saying he could be
acquitted after all this time?

It doesn't matter.

The statute of limitations
has expired anyway.

But won't there be a public backlash?

Especially since you're
a public figure, sir.

Lee Yong Woo, that bastard.
If it weren't for his testimony...

Their biggest liability right now
is the real killer's confession.

They'll want to discredit
it any way they can.

Is there a way to discredit it?

They would have to prove Lee Yong Woo lied.

If he lied...

The serial killer, Yoo Cheol Young.

Do you happen to remember
the serial killer, Yoo Cheol Young?

Yoo Cheol Young?

Yoo Cheol Young actually
tried to inflate his list of crimes,

and even confessed to crimes
committed by other serial killers.

It was all out of a desire to show off.

So you're suggesting we say his
confession was him showing off?

Yes.

It happened 30 years ago.

How much could that guy Lee Yong
Woo possibly remember anyway?

- I'll call the prosecutor.
- Yes.

If the prosecutor makes it an issue
when Lee Yong Woo isn't there,

it could hurt us in the ruling.

Attorney Cha, when is Lee Yong
Woo being summoned for questioning?

Today.

Then there might be a way.

(Prosecutor's Office Annex)

(Suspect Interrogation Record)

You're saying you also
committed the seventh murder?

Yes.

Well...

You look great in those stockings.

Can you prove that?

- I'm just saying what I see.
- No.

Can you prove the seventh murder was yours?

Gosh. I confess,

and now I have to prove it, too?

The whole world knows
you're obsessed with stockings.

So why were there no
stockings in the seventh murder?

Instead, the victim was a sleeping child.

It's random and doesn't make any sense.

- What, are you saying I'm lying?
- Hey, Lee Yong Woo.

Up until now, everyone's coddled
you every time you opened your mouth,

but things are different in here.

It's not my job to believe every
word from a scumbag's mouth.

Why would I?

Why would I confess to
something I didn't even do?

Don't you serial killers have a thing

about who's killed the most people?

You all keep score to see who's number one.

That poor fool...

Carrying that heavy burden all by himself.

How did you live with that for 30 years?

You're Mr. Im Seok Man, right?

- You startled me.
- Hello. I'm...

I'm Cha Yeong Beom, a
reporter from Noise Cut.

Sorry, I must have startled
you, just showing up like this.

I came by before, but you were
out, so I tried again this morning.

And I'm glad I finally caught you.

Gi Beom?

You knew my father?

Gosh.

I've never seen a photo
of my father before.

Your father was a handsome man, wasn't he?

He was good-looking and kind.

If it hadn't been for that incident...

I was a victim of torture too,
but it was nothing compared

to your father because he died from it.

What do you mean?

My father

was a victim of torture?

I'm aware of the harsh
criticism about our new policies.

However,

how are we supposed to make
progress with all this static already?

He's in a meeting right now.

Let's all take a short break.

- What is it? What's going on?
- My father...

He didn't die in a car accident, did he?

I don't know what you
could have possibly heard

to make you say something like that.

Is it true he died from
torture by the police?

("Suspect Dies as a
Result of Police Brutality")

("Disciplinary Action
Against Sergeant Kang")

This Sergeant Kang they mention here...

You know who that is, don't you?

That's all in the past.

No.

I need to know.

It's not like I'm trying
to do anything about it.

I just want to know the truth.

I have a right to know. After all...

I'm his son.

So just tell me.

Just the name of the
sergeant who killed my father.

Against Sergeant Kang")

Kang Tae Joo.

- What?
- The Sergeant Kang mentioned

here is Kang Tae Joo.

Make sure you're eating well.

Don't go around skipping meals.

(Call)

It's me.

Yeong Beom was just here.

He was asking about his dad's death.

(Chairwoman Cha Sun Yeong)

Sun Yeong.

It's really been a long time.

Hasn't it?

Assemblyman Cha Mu Jin...

I heard that he passed away.

He was a strict man,

but he cared for me deeply.

Being his daughter...

I have no regrets.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

I saw Yeong Beom a few days ago.

He came to see me for a
story he was working on.

Yeong Beom did?

Don't worry. I told him nothing important.

Tae Joo.

I'm not a good mother.

I wasn't able to be a good mother to him.

Before I gave birth,

I was in an accident. A car accident.

I gave birth to Yeong
Beom while I was in a coma,

and I didn't wake up for six months.

I spent another six months
in the hospital for rehab.

And when I finally went home...

Here we go!

That hurts! Don't do
that. Hey, don't do that.

Gosh, it hurts.

How about this?

You don't like the chicken sound?

Yeong Beom.

Yeong Beom, look, it's Mommy. It's Mommy.

- Mommy's here.
- Yeong Beom, it's Mommy.

Mommy's here. Look, Mommy.

Let's go see Mommy.

Want to go to Mommy?

Come here.

Honey, why are you crying? What's wrong?

You missed your mommy, didn't you?

Okay, okay.

There, there. It's okay.

- They looked like father and son.
- You missed your mommy, didn't you?

It was really hard to watch.

- It's okay.
- He didn't feel like my son.

Even now, Yeong Beom

is closer to his uncle than he is to me.

Love him or hate him, Cha Si Yeong...

He is a father figure

to Yeong Beom.

The reason I asked to see you today is...

I think Yeong Beom found
out about his father's death.

The detective who tortured Gi Beom...

He thinks it's you.

Just...

Let him think it was you.

The uncle he looked up to like a father

caused his own father's death.

Yeong Beom can't handle that truth.

So

you have to help me.

All right.

I'll do it.

Thank you.

Come on, don't thank me.

You're Yeong Beom's mother.

You need to look after him.

And it doesn't matter how
much he likes his uncle.

How can an uncle compete with his mom?

Right?

Do you remember a man named Lee Gi Beom?

He was a suspect in the
Kangseong Serial Murders.

And he died while being
interrogated by police

in the detention center.

Aren't you curious why I'm
asking about Lee Gi Beom?

He was your father, wasn't he?

Lee Gi Beom.

You knew?

The resemblance is uncanny.

You knew...

How could you act like that when you knew?

We laughed and joked together. How...

Did you really do it, Professor?

Did you really kill my father?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I don't care what was going on back then.

How could you beat a man to death?

That's not something a
human being should do!

How could a person do
that to another person...

I never quite understood

why I was so drawn to this case.

But now, I finally get it.

This is what I'm meant to do.

I won't...

I won't stand by and let
you fool people any longer.

(The Scarecrow)

Ten seconds to air.

An interview with a killer.
It's Noise Cut's exclusive.

So a murderer exposed the
truth that the police tried to bury.

Are the police officers who
tortured you here tonight?

I'll make those bastards
pay, even if it costs me my life.

In order to reveal the
identities of everyone involved...

Man. Up front...

How could you do this to me?
After everything I did for you?

I'll answer that in court.
