Shush!

Shut up for 8 seconds

You know what Pace means?

Peace! Huh?

God, give us peace!

Dead with a smashed head?

That's no peaceful way to die

Are you in peace?

Wow, On this great day huh?

Think I'm in peace on my way to see a smashed head?

By the same token

whoever smashed his head wouldn't be in peace either

Fuck!

- HAN Studio... - Captain

Found any clues?

- Good morning Captain. - Hey

- Captain - Huh?

- Its this way - Okay

It's only been a few hours

The body is still stiff

A murder weapon?

Something hard like a brick

- Did you look for it? - It's gone

- You sure? - Sir?

- When I got.. - Take a note

Okay

'A murder weapon rarely leaves the crime scene.'

I will find some uniforms to search the area

Tell them to pay extra attention to trashcans and manholes

AH N, who found the body?

His wife

Should I sit there?

Did you kill your husband?

Taking the fifth won't do you any good

When I got back

I found him on the floor

- Where did you go? - The market

What did you buy?

Didn't you go to the market...

to buy things?

- Some bean sprouts. - For how much?

- 2 dollars. - You have a lover, don't you?

Were you cheating on him?

Never

You have a criminal record

March 1999, at the mall...

I tried on a pair of shoes

and I forgot to pay

I was gonna Pa)'

But they didn't trust me

A cup of coffee?

Shit

That's enough

Come sit

I'm out of aftershave

- Already? - Yeah

You use it for body oil, or what?

Damn, the deposit rate has dropped again

- Here. - Thanks

The doctor's appointment is at 2 today, right?

- It's tomorrow. -huh?

Wait. Come here

Hold still

Let me listen to my son

Pufle He was our patron. A fine gentlemen

Any domestic problems?

Did they have issues?

They seemed fine

He was loaded...

and wasn't a womanizer

They didn't have a child. Then again...

A little bird told me he wasn't shooting blanks

What do you mean?

She got so many abortions

behind his back

That's what I heard

Yeon- shim?

She's so clumsy!

Get these gentlemen some snacks

She bought bean sprouts around 4 yesterday

- Do you remember? - Think hard

- I can't - She bought them from you

- Can't you remember? - I don't remember anything

- Leave me alone. - AHN!

- AHN, that's enough. - Go away!

Recoil

Recoil spring

Magazine, End, slide... Check!

21 seconds shit!

What's the point? We hardly use it

CHO

you know what lured me into the police academy?

This! huh?

Sig Sauer P- 226

This was what

They sell these at the marts in America though

- Checked the insurance? - Yes

He bought a policy recently

- Life policy? - Yes, for half a million

- The beneficiary is his wife? - Bingo!

This is almost too easy

It's so obvious

Take a note

'They never smash heads

like that just for money.'

These days...

they cut fingers off for a few hundred bucks

- Aren't you writing it down? - Sure

What about the wife?

She helped her husband with the studio

She must be seeing someone. Check into it

Put one of our men on her

AHN is out there

Get your ass out too!

Listen to the baby's heartbeat

Head, trunk, Feet...

This is the spine

The baby is moving a lot

Fantastic!

Looks like an alien

- Nurse? - Yes?

Thank you very much

Congratulations, Su- hyun

Here's the prescription

- Just a second. - Sure

- Did you see the baby on sonogram? - Yes

When?

Come on, tell me quickly

What?

Okay

- Keep an eye on him. - Okay

This is the list of food to avoid

during the pregnancy

You don't drink, do you?

Another abortion isn't good. Take care of yourself

Excuse me!

Who is it?

Turn off the water, will you?

It's leaking downstairs

Did you turn it off?

Fuck!

KIM Hyuk-ju!

Shit

How much did you get?

From whom?

The lady from the studio!

She'll pay you the rest later?

You bought that?

What the fuck! I didn't get anything!

We have pictures, punk

Bullshit! You're writing a novel

Playing tough?

- Look here. - Don't hit me!

You're messing with the wrong guy

Whatever!

You lay your hand on me again, and I'm so suing you

Listen

Didn't I tell you to make it quick...

so we could eat?

Four prior convictions

A month out of the joint...

and you don't get it?

Your prints were found at the crime scene

We have pictures of you taking money from her

Tell us how much she promised you...

for killing her husband! Motherfucker!

- Captain. - What?

Any orders for me?

What orders? This is no restaurant!

Let's give it a change

Make it two-five time

Okay?

These are all the unpicked- up ones

in the period of one month

You can tell a lot from them

This one

This family took a trip for the first time in a while

I think it's the youngest taking pictures

Maybe this one

Her big brother must be on leave...

from the army

This girl is... his girlfriend?

She's not part of the family

considering she's dressed up...

while the others have shorts on

I don't watch TV

- This is more fun. - Ms. JI Kyung- hee

Aren't you curious how your husband died?

It was a heart attack

He appeared to have died due to the smashed head

But there's more to it

Had the impact affected the brain...

an apnea would've resulted...

As the right part of his head got smashed

the artery popped which led to hemorrhage

It seems that he tried hard to breathe

or kept spitting out words...

for help

Not only was there blood on the floor

but his mouth to his lungs were filled with blood too

That caused the cardiac arrest

In other words, a heart attack

That's the cause of death

You don't find it interesting?

Did you guys get along?

We were okay

You're married, you must know

Problems are often overlooked...

to keep the marriage together

How come no children?

I've call you back soon

I learned you'd had abortions. Quiet a few times

Why?

How'd he find out?

It's me

I told you I'd call you back

I'm busy tonight

Yes

Do I have to tell you?

Yes

No, I'm not home

I've call you back later. Bye

Who is your lover?

What do you mean?

You know KIM Hyuk-joo right?

How much did you offer?

Did you offer fair split?

What is this all about?

KIM Hyuk- soo confessed it all

What? He threaten me

Ah, there must be somebody responsible for murder

Are you always like this?

Why did you give him the money then?

My husband promised to do so

That money was mean to be his

Then you should've told so before

I did not want to be involved in a mess

Well, investigations will tell the truth

If I have to go to the office I will

Will you...

be easier to confess for your crime at the office?

You're not doing your lover...

any good by keeping quiet

Tell me

Have you ever hated your wife?

No particular reason

You'rejust sick of her

I thought it would pass

For 5 years

But it never did

I've get back to you

- Call. - I will

Not me

The lady you talked to earlier

She must be waiting...

...for your call

- Come in - Hello

- Bean sprouts please. - For how much?

- 2 dollars please. - Okay

Su- hyun

Most people put them in boiling water

But I do it differently

Over bean sprouts...

I pour boiling water

This way they stay fresh

Here you go

Let's see

It's a killer!

Try it

- What you heard at the clinic... - What?

I will get it

Hello?

Hey, CHO

What's going on?

I guess my cell phone is out of battery

We'll talk tomorrow

Bye, CHO

He...

I'm sure he's innocent

He would come quite often. Once a week

Keep 90mg

I think...

He had a crush on me

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Sure

I was just testing my camera

You have my apology

It's okay

Why'd you take pictures of your feet?

His feet?

His own bare feet

The whole roll

I thought they were pretty

That was the beginning

Hands at first

Then the shoulders

Maybe...

That's how he hits on girls

You know what?

It's quite boring sitting alone at the studio

He started keeping me company...

and I was glad

Even thankful

Thank you. Bye

Bye!

- What was it? - Me

- Who took these? - You told him?

No, I couldn't

I have no idea why I'm in those pictures

That was the last roll from him

I was gonna develop them when my husband was gone

Kyung-hee, I love you

Did he see this too?

He got furious

What's going on here?

Who the hell is he?

Don't you know?

They're from customers

It's the same goddamnjerk!

What's wrong with you?!

Why'd he take your picture?

I don't know! I really don't!

But he didn't believe me

When I got back from the market...

- How do I look? - Gorgeous!

Su- hyun

Look who's here! Ka- hee, it's been so long

hi, hi

You were fabulous

Here. Come on

Go ahead

You haven't changed a bit

Same old you from college

Look at Su- hyun

Who would think she's married?

Once she becomes a mom, it'll be a different story

Gosh, are you expecting?

Congratulations!

That's really great

- Congratulations. - Thanks

One, Two, Three

What's up, CHO?

Amen!

Sorry, Father. I have to take this call

- See you at church. - Sure. Bye

To you who are loved

and to myself who's become an intruder

Where are you?

Five o'clock!

- What do you say? - What?

If a familiar song is heard when you don't expect it

you feel exhilarated

like having an orgasm

Did I give you that tonight?

I remembered

What?

Do you remember

when we went to the opening of this wine cafe?

But it was under construction with nobody around

- It was then. - What?

Hesitating whether to leave

we did it on the stairway

One side of the wall was glass

And you said...

"Having sex looking down at people outside,"

'It feels like doing the treadmill at the gym.'

I did?

- It was that night. - What about it?

I'm positive

When I got home that night

my cat cried hard into the night

Until dawn...

What's your point?

I'm 4 weeks pregnant

This is like a celebration party for me

Why follow me?

Take your precious wife home

- What's going on? - What?

That you're here

Why? I wasn't supposed to be?

Don't forget. Su- hyun and I are friends

- Should I come with you? - Where?

The hospital

I can't believe I got knocked up at this age

Silly me, huh?

Should I keep it?

What do you say?

Some babies are blessed from the womb

And others have to fear...

What do you want me to do?

Nothing!

Keep living happily with her as you have

I'm not a home wrecker!

If I minded sharing you

I would've left you...

when you decided to marry her

Stop it, God damn it!

You think I'm happy?

What is it you want? The baby?

Keep it then!

What is this?!

Are you trying to screw me?

- How Long? - Sir?

How long since the murder?!

5 days

You know it's considered unsolved past a week's mark

Solve it within this week!

- Hey, Captain Lee. - Sir?

- You only have 3 days. - Okay

Get moving!

JUNG Myung- sik is in Japan?

Yes, the school confirmed...

the seminar was set long ago

He's coming back tomorrow?

Right, arriving at 10:40

Tomorrow morning...

Captain

Yeah?

Reporters are talking

We can't hold KIM Hyuk-ju forever

Release him

I don't wanna see you

Ka- hee...

Let go! I'm showering

I got you something

- Ka- hee... - Let go!

- Ka- hee, I am... - Let go! Let go!

I'm sorry

Hands off, you bastard!

Listen to me!

How could you tell me to abort...

Why'd you come to the concert?

- I'm sorry. - Let Go!

It's all my fault

I'm SORRY, okay?!

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I love you, Ka- hee

- I love you. - I do too

I love you too

You're all mine! I own you!

- I love you. - I love you too

I love you so much

So much!

I love you. I love you

I love you

Done. Left foot

Wish I had a son like you

To cut your toenails?

Fine, I've cut your toenails for the rest of your life

Sleep over

You come and go whenever you feel like

What's my place, a rest stop along the highway?

And you don't pay me

- Money? How much do you want? - What?

Your money is no good

What do you want then?

- Leave your heart with me. - My heart?

Give me your hand

Here. My heart

- Ki- hoon. - What?

You need to gain weight

Are you sure you're a cop? You have no muscles

Don't rub it in!

- Come on in. - No way!

I'm cold

Wait up, Ka- hee

Do you love Su- hyun?

I do

She loves me too

Are you sure?

You think you know her well?

She's not like us

nus'?

You think we're the same?

She's just different

Have you interrogated her, Captain LEE?

Assuming she loves you...

because she fits into your life...

Isn't it too dangerous?

I'm not seeing you cause I have issues with her

While I see you

I do my best to her

You do? In what sense?

Fucking me hard

and keeping a beautiful family with her?

Then...

Should I tell her?

What?

That you sound like a cat reaching an orgasm

That you like me from behind...

Want some water?

No thanks

Smoking right after sex?

You're so bad

Su- hyun, sleeping?

My Heart

Hello?

Yes?

Captain!

Yes, we picked him up at the airport

Yes

This picture. You took it, didn't you?

It was found at the scene

And you left the country And you left the country on the same day

This belongs to my son who goes to primary school

He wrote it on the ground and asked me to shoot it

for his girlfriend in class

And my trip was scheduled last semester

You took pictures of JI Kyung- hee

- Who? - The female owner of the studio!

- You took her pictures. - No

Don't play hard ball

You took her pictures!

She asked me to

Cut the crap!

She brought us pictures you took and told us everything

She asked me to!

She was so serious I agreed

It wasn't porn

I took nude pictures of her. Is that a crime?

Nude?

You took nude pictures of her?

So you're telling me

JI Kyung- hee

asked you to take pictures of her in the nude?

Look, Detective

I have a family

Honestly, it's embarrassing...

to even be here

Kyung- hee, right?

I think she had a crush on me

I'm sorry

I was testing my camera

Why didn't you tell me?

I could've been your model

Anything wrong?

You memorized my name and phone number!

Of course you come every week!

Why'd you take pictures of your feet?

Of all the pictures

she showed so much interest in my nude ones

Why'd you keep going back?

You're a man. Put yourself in my shoes

She's pretty and mysterious

It's not a bad thing for a girl to be aggressive

So I kind of enjoyed it

You play at a concert hall

and I sing at a basement cafe

We've turned out so differently

- Tomato juice? - For her

Coffee is mine

Thanks

Why not drinking it?

It's pretty good. Try it

You're seeing Ki- hoon lately?

Change the subject

I've had enough

With what?

- Ka- hee, please... - Please what?

Tell me

You like the way you live?

Didn't you tell me?

Taking pictures frees your soul...

...like a little boy

Please

She said her husband was out of town

and asked me to take pictures of her in the nude

I thought it was too much so I refused at first

Then again, I sometimes hire a professional model

and she was volunteering

So you did?

Mind giving me one?

Don't you like the thrill?

I do

Getting there...

is more fun than being there

Don't you have that experience?

Fucking is good

but the feeling after you come...

I didn't sleep with her

- Talk to me. - Yes Sir

It's true he was at the library. His library card confirms it

What if he lent it to someone?

Keep digging for witnesses

And check out his wife too

- Yes Sir - Okay

What now?

You know what?

It's quite boring sitting alone at the studio

He started keeping me company.

And I was glad

Even thankful

That was the beginning

Hands at first

Then the shoulders

What do you think it meant?

Maybe...

He wanted to sleep with me

Tell him about our rule

One more for the loser!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Come on!

You lost! One more shot!

Sorry about that

Give it here

- Captain - What?

Let me drink just beer

Shut up

You don't mix liquor

But once you do, you go all the way

Take a note!

1 . You don't mix liquor

2. Shut up and drink

Whoever finishes last gets one more

- Okay - Sure

Ka- hee

It's me

Finger on the pad please

Try again please

Finger on the pad please

Try again please

What the...

Ka- hee!

It's me! Open the door!

Ka- hee!

It isn't easy for me either

I can't even buy you the ring you want so badly

Su- hyun got an abortion without me knowing

So open the goddamn door!

Open it!

It's me!

- Su- hyun, I... - Please

I want a divorce

19 seconds

Gosh, you waited...

for too long. I'm so sorry

Let me

I'm so sorry. Just so many customers!

What kind of style...

- Sister. - Yes?

Where's Hyuk-ju?

Who is...

Where's Hyuk-ju?

I don't know. I swear!

Where can I find him?

I really don't know

I miss him too!

Name's OH Yeon- shim. They met at the bar

Hyuk-ju is crazy about her

Where can I find her?

I'm not sure

I heard she works at a cafe called Purte

I met the studio owner through my boss

He offered to buy me...

an apartment if I gave him a child

It wasn't killing a baby, but giving life to one

But Hyuk-ju completely lost it

when I told him

I didn't get it. I'd be carrying the baby, not him!

What the fuck.

It seems there is nobody that she meets?

What about the photos then?

Kyung- hee I love you?

I have all the evidences You fuck- head!

Can't you do anything right?

I was trying to be nice on you for Yeon- sim

Shit- heads like you...

and a hoe Yeon- sim, that bitch...

you are all retarded assholes

I met him later that day

Watching 'Kisses' on TV, he said out of the blue...

I smashed his fucking head

Yeah.. No...

Didn't you used to run the show in the morning?

I see

Thanks

Estimated time of death?

The line is busy...

Should we break up?

God damn it!

Let's eat out tonight

One thing I know is...

I initiated it

I had spent two more days with Ka- hee

The smell of her blood...

In the mean time

I told the police she had killed herself

Nightmares haunt you forever

When do you wanna move by?

The faster, the better

It might take a while to find a buyer

with the economy so sluggish

- I'm counting on you. - Sure I've give you a call

- Okay. Bye. - Bye

I'm selling the studio

I can't run it alone

I've left the force

I can't believe I put away the wrong guy

Then again, he's been injail. He'll do just fine

Sorry I brought it up. It's all over

Is this called 'Our Lady of Grace'?

Different names for different postures, right?

Tell me

What can I do?

Kyung-hee, I love you

You said it wasn't for me

I checked with the school his son goes to

No girl named Kyung- hee in his class

It doesn't matter now

JUNG Myung- sik... Did you love him?

If I loved him...

If I loved him, I'm forgiven?
