(Child actors and animals featured...)

(were filmed safely with expert supervision.)

So, you're back. What about your thesis?

Thanks to you.

Did you solve my riddle?

It was 12 plus 2.

A total of 14 murders.

Are you saying there are five more unreported murders?

I knew you would figure it out.

I'll confess to the nine cases that are already public.

And I'll come clean about the rest, too.

Only if...

you tell me your story.

What is it now?

Your story, Professor. You said you lost everything, didn't you?

I want to hear exactly what you lost.

One story from you...

for one hidden murder from me.

Sounds fair, doesn't it?

(Murders: 12 plus 2, Rapes: 19, Attempts: 15)

If you're not up for it,

I'll take them all to my grave.

All right. You have a deal.

Now, this is getting interesting.

You go first.

What is it you supposedly lost?

I lost my friend.

(Scarecrow)

Excellent work.

I knew you would pull it off, Prosecutor Cha.

It was all thanks to you, sir.

Now that we've identified the culprit, catching him will be easy.

Now I can finally get a good night's sleep.

What are you looking at so intently?

You see this date?

It's the day Choi In Sook went missing.

- It is? - When Choi In Sook was murdered,

Gi Beom was with me.

But then why was Park Ae Sook's handbag at the bookstore?

If it wasn't Lee Gi Beom...

Could it be Lee Gi Beom's brother?

Hey, what are you talking about? Lee Gi Beom might not be the killer?

At the time Choi In Sook was murdered,

Gi Beom was with me.

(December 13, 1987)

Hey, buy me some more time.

I have the press conference in 10 minutes.

I was to say we identified the suspect.

Hey, what's the big rush with the press conference?

You're the one who said you'd close this case at lightning speed!

When did I say that?

Anyway, just stall them.

Or has your stab wound opened up again yet?

- Want me to rip it open for you? - Hey!

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Anyway, just stall. Be vague. You know how.

- You're good at that. I'm leaving. - What do you mean, "stall"?

- Stall. - Hey, Tae Joo...

So, what are you announcing today?

Have you found the serial killer?

Over the past two years,

regarding the seven murders that took place in Kangseong,

we have identified a person of interest, but...

- "But"? - "But"?

- "A person of interest"? - What is he talking about?

So you're saying you haven't caught him?

Father.

(Doctor Bang Gyeong Moon Clinic)

Stop by when you're in the area, all right? I'm bored.

Come on. You're much busier than I am.

I'm looking for patient Lee Gi Hwan. I need to see the patient list.

- One moment. - Hey, isn't that Detective Kang?

- A detective? - He leads the serial murder case.

Could you please introduce me?

What?

Hello. My name is Jo Yun Seok.

Please, have a seat.

Why would someone from the nuclear research institute want to see me?

There's a method that could narrow down your list of suspects,

- and I wanted to tell you about it. - Something like that exists?

It's called radioisotope analysis.

And what can you do with that?

Just like how we all have different fingerprints,

the elemental makeup of a person's hair is unique to each individual.

So you're saying,

by irradiating their hair and measuring the elements,

you can determine if they're the same person? Is that it?

Yes, and depending on the results,

we can even deduce their profession or their living environment.

Have you ever identified a suspect using this test?

- No. - Has it been admitted as evidence?

Not yet.

But there's a first time for everything.

A first time...

The Kangseong branch...

of the Muwon District Prosecutor's Office announced...

that they have identified the serial killer...

responsible for killing seven women over the past two years.

The suspect is a certain Mr. Lee, a Kangseong resident in his 20s,

who runs a local bookstore.

Furthermore, a schoolgirl's murder on the 22nd...

has also been attributed to this same Mr. Lee.

- You won't need my proposal. - The crime scenes were...

- That crazy son of a bitch... - around the Kangseong Village area.

He targeted women walking home alone from work or school.

After abducting his victims,

and binding their hands and feet so they couldn't resist.

He then sexually assaulted and brutally murdered them.

The killer...

committed his crimes with increasing frequency,

- bodies were also found there... - Mom.

- Pull yourself together. - I don't need it!

Get out.

We are officially designating this as a serial murder case,

and to ensure that such crimes are not repeated,

we will conduct a thorough investigation.

We will do everything in our power...

to see that justice is served.

The prosecution has placed Mr. Lee on a public wanted list...

and stated they will do everything they can to ensure a swift arrest.

All eyes are now on whether this will finally bring an end...

to the serial murders in Kangseong for the past two years.

This is Kim Ji Hun, reporting for KDS.

It's ginger tea.

It smells nice.

What brings you here? I thought you were busy with the race.

Let's finalize your marriage talks with Chairman Kim's family soon.

That can wait until after the election.

And what if the election doesn't go our way?

We need to set a date now to lock them in.

So you found the serial killer?

Yes.

Good work.

Father...

Cha Si Yeong! You...

Detective Kang.

What do you think you're doing? I have a guest.

I don't have time to take a number and wait my turn, sir.

Please let me talk to Prosecutor Cha.

All right, I get it. We'll talk in a minute, okay?

He says it's urgent official business.

I guess this old man should get out of the way.

No, Father. You don't have to.

- Just a moment... - Don't bother to see me out.

Hold on.

Have we met somewhere before?

I don't believe so.

I must have been mistaken.

I'll be in touch.

Wait, Father...

(An Upright Republic of Korea)

Hey.

Why did you say that at the press conference?

I told you I needed to investigate further.

Look, I've been thinking about it.

The date on that photo of Lee Gi Beom.

That's when Choi In Sook vanished, not the day she died.

The body was too decomposed to pinpoint the exact time of death.

- Hey, what is that supposed to... - Like Choi In Sook's mother said,

her daughter could have run away from home.

There are just too many possibilities.

What's your deal?

Why are you suddenly being so unreasonable?

Who's being unreasonable? Is this about Sun Yeong?

What's that supposed to mean?

Sun Yeong is having Gi Beom's child, isn't she?

So I was right.

At Lee Gi Beom's house, I wondered if she had morning sickness.

What on earth is Sun Yeong going to do now?

- Why bring Sun Yeong into this? - Hey.

You're saving him for your future niece or nephew, aren't you?

- Don't be ridiculous! - Then what is it?

- Any suspects besides Lee Gi Beom? - That...

The killer is definitely...

someone close to Lee Gi Beom. So I need to broaden my search...

Then go find the real killer!

Convince me with evidence.

That's what an investigation is, Tae Joo.

You darn commie bastard!

(Das Kapital by Karl Marx)

Today's the day, you bastard.

I've been too nice to you until now, right?

Let's go again.

Darn it. This is driving me nuts.

I said bring him in, not beat him to death!

My apologies, Prosecutor.

- Take that out of his mouth. - Yes, sir.

Your bookstore is full of surprises, isn't it?

Did you hear we found in your store?

Commie books, the victim's handbag...

It's a regular treasure trove in there.

I didn't do anything.

What did you say?

Say that again.

It wasn't me!

I think he might be for real.

- I don't think he's our guy. - But that's impossible.

No, just look at his eyes.

Do those look like the eyes of a liar?

Darn it.

He's no serial killer.

He's just a darn commie.

But Prosecutor, then who did it?

His brother, obviously. The shop is his, right?

That would make sense.

Your mother sure raised a couple of winners, didn't she?

One's a serial killer, and the other's a commie.

At this rate, I'd say your mother's the one to blame.

- For raising monsters like you. - Shut up! Leave my mother alone.

Settle down.

And you'd better remember this.

That's how people are going to see your mother from now on.

- Go bring in his brother, now! - Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

No, you can't! Not my brother!

My brother wouldn't do something like that.

Then who is it?

I said, who is it?

Promise me.

If I confess,

you'll leave my family alone.

- You dare threaten a prosecutor? - Promise me!

You son of a witch.

But you have to promise me something in return.

(Laboratory)

Hello.

Please come in.

I have to be honest.

I didn't come here with much faith in this analysis.

I'm just at a dead end.

I'm just hoping anything, will turn up.

Yes, I understand what you mean.

This is a hair from the culprit.

Please analyse it.

If you look here, titanium levels are very high,

- as are the sodium and chlorine. - Is there a reason for that?

The high titanium level means he's likely exposed to it.

He could be a factory worker who works with alloys or welds.

What about the sodium and chlorine?

Those are the main components of sweat.

He's probably someone who sweats a lot.

So you're saying the culprit...

is a sweat-soaked...

factory worker? Is that what this means?

Most likely.

(Exceptionally high levels of Ti, Na, Cl)

(Occupation: Factory worker)

Go stay at your parents' for a while.

Will you and your mother be okay?

You know how stubborn Mom is. She'd never leave Gi Beom alone.

- Take care of her, all right? - Don't you worry about us.

(Murderer, leave the village.)

(Murderer, leave the village.)

(Kangseong Bookstore)

Tae Joo.

Where have you been?

Come on, help me clean this up.

Yes.

Word got out somehow.

Both the house and the bookstore are a complete mess.

How's your mom holding up?

She's sick in bed, of course.

I told her to stay with relatives, but she won't listen.

Lee Gi Hwan isn't type B. He's type AB.

(Medical Record)

(Lee Gi Hwan's Blood Type: AB)

Gi Hwan, listen...

What is it?

You should've been more careful.

It's nothing, just a small cut.

"A small cut"? Hold still, it's bleeding a lot.

- No, I'm fine. - Put pressure on it.

What are you doing?

What's with the blood?

What is it?

Ji Won, listen.

Hey, Ji Won, I can explain everything.

Were you trying to find out Gi Hwan's blood type?

- It's a misunderstanding. - Misunderstanding, my foot.

So Gi Beom wasn't enough, and now you're after Gi Hwan?

So what's your proof this time?

Did you find evidence at the bookstore?

The handbag?

Is that it?

Is that why you suspect me?

A handbag? What handbag?

Tae Joo, is it true?

Is that really why you came here?

You came here just to find out my blood type?

You could have just asked. I would've told you.

I'm type AB.

If you don't believe me, take this and get it tested.

Forget it.

All right, to be honest,

I did suspect you.

But I don't anymore.

I'm sorry. I really am...

- Are you okay? - Are you okay?

- Darn it. - Are you okay?

- Let me see. - Let me see.

Let me see.

- Darn it. - Quick, let me see.

Why would the victim's belongings be here of all places?

Unless someone planted it here on purpose.

I don't know where it all went wrong.

We find the killer to clear Gi Beom. That's where we're at.

The killer has to be someone close to Gi Beom.

Did Gi Beom ever hang around with a bad crowd?

Like an ex-con, maybe?

No, it's all the same guys he's known since we were kids.

He could be a factory worker who works with alloys or welds.

Any of his friends work at a factory?

- One of them does. - Why a factory?

What's the name of the place?

Ilwon Industries.

(Testing lab)

Excuse me, is a guy named Jeong Su here?

Over there.

(Ilwon Industries)

Here he is.

Thank you.

(Lee Jeong Su)

(Blood type: type O)

Type O?

- He's coming out. - What was your motive?

Is it true you followed the student from the bookstore and murdered her?

Are you the real killer behind the serial murders?

Just say something!

- Just say something! - Answer the question!

- Please give us a statement! - Did you commit the murders?

- He didn't say a single word. - Why isn't he talking?

- What was that? - Total bust.

Didn't you get the shot?

All right, let's pack it up.

How does it feel?

Feeling good, right?

That's what a confession does for you.

Detective Kang. Perfect timing.

Lee Gi Beom just confessed to everything.

What?

Already?

See, as like the little rat knows there's no way out.

He sang like a canary.

- Let me talk to him for a minute. - No way.

- It'll just take a minute. - Detective Do.

Let's step out for a smoke.

Okay. Go ahead.

Hold on.

(Security Consultation Room)

Gi Beom.

What happened?

It's exactly what you heard.

Hey.

Was it really you?

Answer me! Was it really you?

Yes.

Wait...

You were hiding for your life.

So why would you confess just like that?

But you have to promise me something in return.

Anything about being held captive or whatever...

Let's agree not to mention it.

I heard they found evidence at the bookstore.

If I kept denying it, Gi Hwan would have ended up a suspect.

How could I let that happen?

He's my family.

So you care that much about your family,

but you could brutally murder all those victims?

They all had families who loved them, too.

But they weren't my family.

So...

So that's why...

you tried to kill Sun Yeong too?

Tell me.

Are you even the Gi Beom I used to know?

Tell me.

Darn it.

Tae Joo.

What happened? What did Gi Beom say?

Gi Beom confessed.

Did you beat him?

- What? - Did you beat it out of him?

Gi Beom was just brought in today.

And he confessed the moment he got here!

Then that means...

- Gi Beom is the killer! - No.

- No. - He said he did it himself!

He admitted it was him!

You, me, and all of us were fooled by him this whole time.

- Snap out of it! - No.

Hey, don't cry. Why are you the one crying?

It's not true.

- Sun Yeong. - It's not true.

I'll find a clinic for you.

Just get an abortion.

It's okay.

- Can I get a cigarette? - Sure.

(Kangseong serial killer arrested)

(The killer in his 20s, owner of Kang Seong Bookstore)

(Captured two days after public manhunt began...)

(Neighbours: "He was always polite and kind.")

They caught the killer before the special task force was even formed.

The team members are in an uproar, asking if they should even come.

Talk about all sizzle and no steak.

Postpone the transfer for anyone who hasn't arrived yet.

Assemble the team with the rest, as planned.

Excuse me? What's your plan, sir?

It'll only take a minute. There's something I need to say.

It's no use asking me, Sun Yeong.

What's this about?

I have a favour to ask.

(Security Consultation Room)

Sun Yeong.

You have five minutes. I'll be outside.

Thank you.

Gi Beom.

- How are you here? - I pleaded with the prosecutor.

Sun Yeong...

Stay away from him.

And you shouldn't be asking for favours like this.

Is that what's important right now?

Why would you confess to something you didn't do?

You didn't do it.

You think this is funny?

Even after all this, you still trust me?

Even when I'm telling you myself that I'm the killer?

Do you?

Gi Beom.

We're having a baby.

What?

I don't know...

why you're lying,

but for the sake of our unborn child,

and if you don't want to be a father they'll be ashamed of,

you have to fight this to the end.

Fight it,

and make sure you come back.

Stay with us.

Please?

Gi Beom.

I'll be waiting for you.

Sun Yeong.

Hey, aren't you writing that article?

Pardon?

I need to step out for a minute.

So, what did you do next?

After I followed her,

I threatened her with a knife.

And then?

I told her I'd kill her if she didn't come with me.

I see.

The voice sounds similar, but I'm not really sure.

"The voice is similar".

That's more than enough.

Here, take this with you.

You've had a hard time coming all this way.

Hey, this isn't mine.

It must have gotten in there by mistake.

Just throw it out.

(Upholding National Law and Order)

Excuse me. Are you Park Ae Sook?

- And you are? - Well...

I'm Seo Ji Won, a reporter with the Kangseong Daily.

Do any of these people look familiar to you?

No.

I've never seen any of them before.

Who are they?

They frequented the bookstore where the bag was found.

But didn't they already catch the culprit?

Don't you find that strange?

Your ID was in the bag.

If I were the culprit,

I would've left that bag on your doorstep...

as a warning.

So why would the culprit leave it in a bookstore?

Humour me. I'm a naturally suspicious person.

Actually,

inside the bag,

I found this.

(Pig Teahouse)

It's not mine.

(Pig Teahouse)

Daddy.

I'm so sorry.

He sees a man and just assumes it's his dad.

Hye Jun, come on.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

So Lee Gi Beom's written confession is almost done?

Yes, do you want to take a look?

Why would I?

Are you sure this is Lee Gi Beom's written confession?

Yes. Why?

It's all stuff we already know. And some of it is just plain wrong.

What do you mean, wrong?

It says he was already wearing a handkerchief...

when he abducted Kim Mi Yeon.

That's wrong.

According to Mi Yeon, he only wore a hat pulled low then.

He put on the handkerchief later before he attacked Ji Won.

Maybe he's confused? Or...

What are you talking about, Gi Beom?

I'm not going to just write down whatever you tell me to say anymore.

Darn you.

You're feeling tough because you haven't been beaten.

Get up.

This is why punks like you...

need to be beaten every day.

- Hey! What are you doing? - Detective Kang.

Move.

Gi Beom.

Are you okay? Let me see.

Gi Beom, are you okay? Hey, let's go.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

What is this?

This...

These aren't new injuries.

How long has this been going on?

You were lying about how you lost Gi Beom, weren't you?

You've been holding him in secret, haven't you?

What does it matter now? We caught the killer, and that's it.

Illegal arrest! Unlawful confinement! Assault!

Any confession you get that way is inadmissible!

If Prosecutor Cha finds out what you've done...

He's the one who put you up to this.

We have more than one reason to celebrate.

Prosecutor Cha caught the killer, and your ratings are up, sir.

You're right.

I really owe it all to him.

My heart sank when I heard he'd been stabbed.

Honestly, he always throws himself head first into danger.

Don't you let something like this happen again.

Or I won't let you marry my Hui Jin.

- Yes, sir. - Dad, stop.

But that's what I admire about him.

Oh my, listen to her. No shame, even in front of the candidate.

Not at all. It's quite all right.

Hui Jin is so well-spoken.

Thank you, Father.

"Father."

I like the sound of that.

It's a shame your wife couldn't join us.

She's not in the best of health.

She'll be back on her feet in no time.

Wouldn't it be a national loss to keep his talent in Kangseong?

I'm sure he'll be useful somewhere.

Where there's a will, there's a way, after all.

What about holding the wedding as soon as the election is over?

- That sounds wonderful. - Yes.

Please, eat.

As soon as this case wraps up, get ready to move to Seoul.

Excuse me?

You just focus on getting ready. Chairman Kim will handle the rest.

The wedding will be held in Seoul, too.

So he'll want to move things along quickly.

There's no better time to network than a big family event.

And Chairman Kim isn't the type to miss an opportunity like that.

Go on in.

Aren't you coming in?

Jun Young is waiting for you, too.

Take me to the party headquarters.

Why is he...

He has a fire in his eyes.

Ambitious and sharp, but fearless.

If you need him, bring him to work for you in Seoul.

What do you think you're doing?

My sister is sick. Please give us a ride.

- What? - Are you out of your mind?

- Get inside! Now! - Just to the hospital...

Please, I'm begging you.

Aren't you afraid of me?

I'm more afraid of losing my sister.

I like the look in your eyes.

You're a good brother.

My father just smiled.

My father...

smiled.

Follow me.

This place is exactly how I remember it.

Guess we're the only things that have changed.

We...

Darn it.

What? Feeling nostalgic?

Do you want to go at it like the old days?

You son of a witch!

You need a good beating, you punk.

What do you think you're going?

Darn...

Stop it, you crazy punk!

Hey!

This is insane.

I forgot for a moment just what a punk you are.

No, honestly, no matter what a punk you were,

because I thought saving Sun Yeong meant we could call it even.

But I was wrong.

You're the same son of a witch you've always been.

You're no different.

That smug look in your eyes!

You don't know your place. You don't know your limits.

You can't even follow orders!

Are you really assaulting a prosecutor?

Being a prosecutor makes you a king?

Does being a prosecutor mean you can detain and assault at will?

So that's what this is all about.

It's about Lee Gi Beom! You're making a big deal of this?

- What did you just say? - You admitted that you're wrong.

My method might not have been the best, but I was right this time.

Don't you ever learn?

After all that with Lee Seong Jin, you still don't get it?

Threatening and beating them...

They only nod out of fear, you idiot.

They confess because they're afraid of getting beaten.

How much truth do you think there is in a confession you get that way?

Let Lee Gi Beom go.

Clean up your own mess.

While I'm giving you the chance.

I don't think so.

Fine.

Then I'll do it my way.

You just watch.

I've...

learned a lot about you.

Do your worst.

You're late.

I didn't realise you were down here.

Father went straight to Seoul for work.

I'll be staying here for a while.

Does that mean I should leave?

I was under the impression you were uncomfortable here.

Good night.

Fine. Then I'll do it my way.

You just watch.

I've...

learned a lot about you.

Don't make me laugh.

What are you going to do?

(New Era, New Police)

Yes!

- Good night. - Seems like things got rough.

At least you weren't beaten, Detective.

Excuse me?

So what do you want?

Lee Gi Beom is not the real culprit.

He was beaten to falsely confess while illegally detained.

- Where's your proof? - On Lee Gi Beom's body,

there are signs of prolonged assault.

Darn it, I don't mean that kind of proof.

His illegal arrest doesn't matter if he's the killer, does it?

I'm asking for proof that he's innocent.

He has a solid alibi for one day of the serial murders.

He was with me.

Could it be a case a copycat crime?

No.

It had the killer's signature, which was never released publicly.

Is that right?

Then that makes your job clear, doesn't it?

I'll prove the injustice done to Lee Gi Beom,

and I'll bring you the real killer.

And what do you need from me?

I need you to authorize medical treatment for Lee Gi Beom.

Go ahead.

(Pig Teahouse)

(Pig Teahouse)

You don't look like you belong here.

And you're too old.

- Excuse me? - Are you here for the hostess job?

I'm not looking for a job. I'm looking for someone.

Someone?

Who?

Someone who might recognise this bag.

It's one coffee per girl here. That's the deal.

- So, you buying? - Yes. Bring the coffee.

I don't know.

- Two creams, two sugars? - Actually, instead of coffee...

Do you have any ssanghwacha?

One ssanghwacha over here!

Excuse me, have you seen this bag before?

Oh my.

Yes, it's the one that guy gave me.

Go to the hospital and get treated first.

Thank you.

The killer is someone close to you.

A friend or neighbour in your circle. He's Type B. His hands are delicate.

I don't know.

No one comes to mind.

You don't remember where you lost the handkerchief either?

I'm sorry.

You've nothing to be sorry for. You don't need to hang your head.

I'm the one who's sorry.

For what you had to go through.

That's not something you should be sorry for either.

Then do you have any idea where the bathhouse you were held in was?

- No, I was blindfolded... - Those sons of witches.

We need someone who can testify that you were being held captive.

There is...

someone who can testify.

On a delivery, he just jumped out of nowhere. It was quite a scene.

What are you doing, jumping out like that?

You shouldn't have.

It's not like you did it on purpose.

I'm sorry about the other day.

He must've felt bad...

- and gave me this as a gift. - Does it look good on me?

Yes.

But...

(Pig Teahouse, Park Ae Sook ID Card)

For some reason, there was a woman's ID card in it.

What am I, a beggar?

I can't believe you'd give me some secondhand trash.

Take it back.

So, I gave it back to him.

Who is this guy?

Just some guy who works at the farm equipment repair shop.

Im Seok Man...

Seok Man saw it.

He saw them taking me away.

Excuse me, are you Im Seok Man?

Hi, I'm Seo Ji Won, a reporter with the Kangseong Daily.

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Do you have a moment? It'll only take a second.

Oh my...

Hello. Are you here to drop off something for repair?

I'm looking for someone named Im Seok Man.

You should try the shop over there.

Okay.

He's popular today. A young woman just came by for him.

A young woman?

Yes, and she was really pretty.

I see.

(Seo Ji Won)

Ji Won?

Hey, Seo Ji Won!

What are you doing, you punk?

Seo Ji Won, what are you doing here? Are you hurt?

It's not what it looks like. It's nothing.

I'm fine. Let go.

Let go! Stop!

Hey, Kang Tae Joo! Why is your first instinct to throw a punch?

- You... - Hey.

He was just removing the glass that got stuck in my hand.

Remove the rest. There's one more here.

Right here. You've almost got it.

It's okay.

Don't touch it. It's dangerous.

Oh my...

Don't you recognise me, Ji Won?

I'm a friend of Gi Beom's.

You're a friend of Gi Beom's?

You even paid for our drinks a couple of times.

That's right. It's good to see you.

Hey, you're bleeding.

Thanks.

So, what brings you out to a place like this, Reporter Seo?

I wonder.

Probably the same reason you're here, Detective Kang.

- The handbag... - A witness?

- A handbag? - What witness?

I happened to find this handbag.

I didn't know there was an ID card inside.

I thought someone had thrown it away.

Did you leave the bag at the bookshop?

I thought the owner might find it if I left it there.

Why would you do that? You could've returned it yourself.

I was afraid people would think I stole it.

- This is unbelievable. - Wait, if all of this is true,

we can clear Gi Beom's name, right?

- We can, if this guy testifies. - You'll testify, right?

- Of course. It's all my fault. - Good. It's the right thing to do.

- Let's go. Right now. - Right now?

Why not?

Can I just finish up what I'm working on first?

My boss told me I had to get it done today.

- How long can that take? - It'll take ten,

no, just five minutes.

Then, go finish it first.

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

What a relief.

Now Gi Hwan and Sun Yeong can finally rest easy.

Tell me about it.

Seriously...

To think Gi Beom was illegally detained...

And that guy...

The man was limping on one leg, like he was hurt. I swear.

Tae Joo.

Where are you going?

The high titanium level...

means he's likely exposed to it.

He could be a factory worker who works with alloys or welds.

What about the sodium and chlorine?

Those are the main components of sweat.

He's probably someone who sweats a lot.

So you're saying the culprit is a sweat-soaked...

factory worker? Is that what this means?

Most likely.

There you are.

It's done now.

As an officer, that was my mistake.

I should've realised sooner that Gi Beom wasn't the culprit.

I understand.

An innocent man, Gi Beom, had to suffer for it.

What about you, Lee Yong Woo?

Don't you feel sorry for Gi Beom?

Why would I?

Because of your crime,

he's the one who suffered, isn't he?

I wasn't the one who put him away.

Is that so?

Then that friend you said you lost...

Was it Gi Beom?

We'll get to that.

By the way, Professor,

there's no need to be so formal, is there?

You weren't this formal with me back in the day.

Is it because it's been a few decades?

Come on, you know me.

(Scarecrow)

Are you kidding me? What is your game?

The Special Investigation Unit has found another prime suspect.

The suspect is Im Seok Man, right?

- That's what I'm about to confirm. - They say Im Seok Man is Type B.

He's Lee Gi Beom's friend?

Let's be honest. If that guy's the real killer,

isn't that a good thing for you, too?

I can't lose another friend like that.

He was at the scene of Lee Ju Hee's murder too?

Seok Man? What's going on? What brings you here so late?

I screwed it all up.

I did...
