[Episode 12]

Hang on tight.

If you fall, you'll wreck your feet.

Hey, Bong Tae Min.

Give me that thing from last time.

What thing?

The gun you made.

A gun?

[Deamokjang Milk]

Oh.

You have good hearing.

What are you doing here all by yourself?

I'm practicing.

I want to get revenge when I grow up.

Revenge?

On whom?

Bad adults.

That's not revenge. It's called punishing the guilty.

You should target their weakest point.

In one shot.

Right on target.

Oh, impressive.

Brave little girl, what's your name?

I'm Yoo Bo Na.

Ma'am, who are you?

Well, who should I say I am?

What is it?

Get inside!

You little...

Kids who bite the hand that feeds and shelters them

ought to have their lights snuffed out, don't you think?

Look at this little punk.

What are you going to do with that?

Play with me?

Hey!

What? Why are you doing this to me?

All patrol units, attention.

Right outside Ji Hye Pub in downtown Iseong-dong, Myeongin-gu.

A drunken man has smashed a soju bottle

and is causing a disturbance, holding a woman hostage.

- Nearby patrol cars, dispatch now. - Iseong-dong is right next door.

There are currently no available patrol cars.

Including nearby detectives and mobile units,

all available units, please respond.

Oh, looks like there aren't any patrol cars nearby.

The situation at the scene is escalating.

Nearest available unit, regardless of assignment, respond immediately.

- Hey, Beom, let's roll. - Alright.

Two detectives from the Nambu Police Station,

currently staking out near Iseong-dong, are responding to the scene.

Ms. Bo Na, please stop!

He's already unconscious, Ms. Yoo!

Ms. Yoo!

Yoo Bo Na.

Stop it now.

Director Yoo.

Are you okay?

Did you really not report a drunken disturbance?

A drunken disturbance?

I never made such a report.

What?

Wait. Didn't a drunk man smash a soju bottle and threaten a woman?

No. Nothing like that happened.

Are you sure you have the right place?

Darn it.

We've got a witness.

Why is a child who should be in protective care even here?

Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

We're here to help you out.

Get a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow will be a new day.

Someone has collapsed and is bleeding from the head on the fifth floor

of the emergency stairs at King Tower.

I think he's going to die if you don't get here quickly.

Excuse me!

Have we met before?

No.

Oh, it's dangerous to touch it that carelessly...

How was your first day back at work? Was it tough?

It's something I've done for a long time, so it came back quickly.

Some speculate that Kingfisher, the infamous serial gun killer

who disappeared for the past four years...

Didn't you have a client meeting today? Did it not go well?

Oh, the meeting fell through this afternoon, so it got pushed to tonight.

[Kingfisher Strikes Again] This is the first time

[Two Casino VIP Guests Killed] two people have been killed

in a single Kingfisher case.

I like you, Bo Na.

You don't really know much about me, do you?

Gu Jong Ryeol!

What? Has someone already called it in?

I'm Detective Lee Dong Jin from Nambu Station. What's going on?

We received a report that a sick child is home alone.

I believe this is the house.

For the seven years my dad was in prison,

everyone at school called me an idiot or a freak.

I was always spaced out.

Even the slightest sound, like a pen dropping, would make me jump.

If someone even brushed past my shoulder,

I'd collapse and tremble.

The doctors said I'd be fine and get better with time,

but I never did.

One day, I realized why.

Because Dad would be...

coming back in a few years.

Because it wasn't over yet.

When I watched my dad disappear right before my eyes,

I thought to myself.

"It's finally over."

"Maybe now I can live...

a normal life,

like everyone else."

Today will probably be that kind of day for that girl.

The day she's freed from violence.

Save me.

Well... Ugh...

The inhaler... The...

The inhaler... My inhaler, please.

The inhaler...

Please, the inhaler...

Please... Please save me...

Save me. Save...

I'm so sorry I got here so late.

I'll take care of the rest.

Your friends will all go somewhere safe.

You're the one who saved those children.

The reason I do this work.

I hope at least one person can be saved,

and someone can be safe because of it.

Tae Seong.

Honey.

Tae Seong.

Hello?

Where are you now, Tae Seong?

Honey!

Yul!

What's wrong with Yul? Huh?

Her fever suddenly spiked while she was sleeping.

They say it's the fever cold that's been going around lately.

A cold? She was fine this morning. How did...

So did they say she'll be okay? Huh? Huh?

Her fever broke. They said to monitor her for a day or two with medication.

She's so tiny, and now...

Yul, you must've been in so much pain, huh?

Oh, poor baby, Yul.

Oh, no, you must've been hurting so much.

Oh, they had to put that on such a little kid...

Oh, no. I'm sorry Mommy got here so late.

I'll stay by Yul's side tonight. You go get some rest.

I'll take the day off tomorrow and stay with Yul, honey.

Okay, then.

[Yul's Room]

[Breaking News: Child Abuser Gu Jong Ryeol Found Dead Last Night]

Last night...

[Big Precious]

[Big Precious]

[Big Precious] Honey, when did you leave?

You should've woken me.

I would've made you some toast.

Did you take your umbrella?

My husband can't get caught in the rain.

Oh, my...

It seems there are still a lot of things you don't know about Bo Na.

Oh.

Or does she just not tell you much about herself?

Yes, Manager Kim. I'm Kwon Tae Seong, a reporter from Not Today.

Hello. How have you been?

[Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency]

This case is definitely different from the pattern we've seen so far.

It's the first time we've found evidence that the killer physically intervened.

The use of violence suggests some emotion was involved.

Well, the more enraged you are, the more times you tend to stab someone.

The fact that they called an ambulance to report a sick child

also shows that even amid all those emotions,

they clearly wanted to protect the child.

Which means...

What is this, a funeral? Why the long faces?

- Welcome, sir. - Welcome, sir.

I'm sorry. I should've been more careful.

I let my guard down.

What are you sorry for?

Anyway, we've confirmed that your theory was right.

Haven't we?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, that's right.

[Lee Dong Jin]

Don't get down just because Kingfisher got away this time. Keep at it.

Next time, I'll get the chief to give us all the support we need,

even if I have to beg him for it.

Got it?

Got it?

- Yes, sir. - Understood, sir.

You haven't had lunch, right?

Use the department credit card and treat yourself to something nice.

Answer me.

- We'll enjoy it. - Thank you, sir.

I expected him to be strict, but he's actually pretty chill.

He's been part of the task force two times before.

Both times, it ended badly, and he was furious about it.

He's probably the one among us who wants to catch Kingfisher the most.

[Team Leader Gu Tae Seok]

But there's one thing that doesn't quite add up.

The false dispatch order that came into the scene.

We sent it to the voice analysis team,

and they say it was AI-generated, not a real person's voice.

It looks like our police network was hacked.

Hacked?

What does that mean, then?

Did they know we were coming and diverted us?

How?

Could there be a Kingfisher operative inside the police?

You know, like an undercover operative.

[The Kingfisher Case Files] It doesn't have to be someone in the police.

I heard Kingfisher's fan cafe alone

has over a million members, right?

Should prison

be a hideout for criminals? Huh?

We're already overcrowded as it is, running out of space,

aren't we?

Who knows?

Among them could be someone consumed by vengeance

[Durumi Electronics] after losing family to a criminal.

Maybe...

helpers like that are hiding in places we never see.

[No Entry to Above-Ground Parking]

Oh, wow!

Wow, it's green!

It's done. Once you finish your porridge, you'll feel better in no time, right?

Yeah, I'll eat lots.

You will? Eat plenty.

Did it hurt when you got the shot?

Yeah, it hurt.

But Daddy hugged me tight.

He did?

Yul, were you sad because Mommy wasn't there?

Yeah, I cried because I missed you.

I asked Daddy to call you, but he wouldn't.

He did?

Why would Daddy do that?

I don't know.

Eat up.

Back then...

the person who was on the rooftop beyond that door...

was it Yoo Bo Na?

Looks like you didn't sleep. Your face looks haggard.

The person you tried to hide that day...

was it Yoo Bo Na?

Good grief.

Why are you walking around in the rain? You'll catch a cold.

So you finally opened the door.

But that's strange.

Why come to me and ask about it?

The person involved is right there.

Were you afraid she'd kill you if you asked?

Are you upset?

Well, I suppose you have every right to be angry.

After all those years of marriage, she completely deceived her own husband.

And she hid such a terrifying secret.

That's just how Yoo Bo Na is.

She's that meticulous and shrewd.

She wouldn't even bat an eye at making a fool out of someone.

Shut up.

I'm taking your side right now, Mr. Kwon Tae Seong.

What do you know to be talking like that?

Say one more thing like that, and I won't let you off.

I heard the child was in a protective shelter.

What happened yesterday?

We have no choice but to release a child when the parents request it.

At the time, the adoptive mom was considered the main culprit,

so we had no grounds to deny the dad's request.

Would it be possible for us to speak with the child?

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's not possible.

The child's doctor stressed that

her physical and emotional well-being has to come first.

I see.

So that punk was abusing the child again all that time.

Could Kingfisher have witnessed the abuse live?

Could that be why he beat him so brutally? He saw it and lost his temper?

It's possible.

Oh, then the kid must've seen something.

If you were her, would you tell us?

Actually, I wouldn't either.

He saved her life. She'd owe him for the rest of her life.

You said that other kid didn't say anything either.

The one whose dad died on Christmas.

The daughter's name was 'Oh' something.

Wait a second.

Oh Seung Ah.

Let's look for Oh Seung Ah.

What? Her?

So far, there have been exactly

two people at Kingfisher crime scenes who weren't victims.

Yeon Chang Bok's son must still be young.

And Oh Seung Ah would be an adult by now.

Who knows?

As you said, maybe she's repaying Kingfisher for saving her.

Let's find her.

Oh, genius!

- Hey! - Oh, you're here?

Oh, I'm exhausted.

Hey, he's pretty drunk.

Reporter Kwon Tae Seong?

What are you doing here all by yourself, looking so miserable?

What? Why do you look like a mess?

Reporter Go!

Go Ji Soon! My dear colleague, Go Ji Soon.

- Go Ji Soon! - Hey, what's wrong with you?

- Go Ji Soon! - Sit down. Sit down.

Hey, the Chief is really mad.

Hey, you always turned me down when I asked you to drink,

saying you missed your wife, huh?

And now you're drinking all by yourself?

Did you two have a marital spat?

What's that?

How do you even have one?

You're annoying.

Oh, you're so annoying.

Hey, do you really love your wife that much?

- I do. - What do you like about her?

What's so great about her?

My wife

can climb rough mountain trails like it's nothing.

Even when the snow stacks up as tall as you are,

she plows through like an excavator.

And she's incredibly strong, so she can lift me right off the ground.

And she's a great shot.

She's not your wife. She's a superhero.

It was our first date in Seoul.

When I asked where she wanted to go,

she just wanted to eat tteokbokki on the street and buy a hair tie.

When I asked why she wanted to do those things,

she said she just wanted to experience those ordinary things.

What kind of cheesy story is that?

When she was pregnant with Yul,

she had really bad morning sickness.

So after work every day,

I got some strawberries and mixed them with ice for her.

My wife really loves strawberry shakes.

Do you know what she said to me once?

What?

"At this rate, am I going to give birth to a strawberry?"

Isn't that funny?

Man, you're really rubbing salt in this old bachelor's wounds.

So?

Are you happy?

I am.

I'm so happy that I could go crazy.

Jeez.

Where are you going?

To see my wife.

You're back?

Why'd you drink so much? Huh?

Well...

I'll get you some honey water, honey.

Honey, drink this. It's honey water.

Okay?

We're married, right?

Of course, we are.

Drink this and sober up a little.

You're my wife, and I'm your husband.

You're Yul's mom, and I'm Yul's dad.

That's what it is.

Right?

Honey, did something happen today?

You haven't answered your phone all day. What's wrong?

I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious.

Please give me an honest answer.

Okay.

What do you want to know?

Do you...

Do you really like strawberry shakes?

Is that really true?

Are you really Yoo Bo Na...

You are, right? You're really Yoo Bo Na, right?

You seem really drunk. Let's go to bed.

What am I to you?

Are you angry with me about something, honey?

Is this because I came home late without calling yesterday?

Why did you marry me?

Did you really love me?

I actually don't really like strawberry shakes.

They're too cold.

But when I fell in love, I really wanted to do that.

Sitting across from each other and drinking strawberry shakes.

So I just pretended to like them.

Because I wanted to keep doing that with you.

I just loved those moments so much.

Because that's the kind of person you are to me.

Hey, stop right there!

Oh, there you go again.

What is it?

Have you eaten?

You didn't just snack your way through another meal, did you?

I ate! Two full bowls of rice with kimchi stew.

Good job.

Make sure you eat dinner too.

Kwon Se Ah.

I really do like you,

and I was a little upset that I couldn't see you.

So I'd like you to reply when I text you.

Have you eaten? Eat real food, not ramyeon.

I ate!

Good. What did you eat for lunch?

I mixed tuna with rice.

Oh, sounds good. I'm having dinner.

Have you eaten? Enjoy your meal.

Why are you doing this to me?

Is this the only reason you asked me to respond?

Are you like a meal-tracking robot or what?

Oh, come on!

I've already eaten! Quit it!

Se Ah, what are you doing tomorrow?

- Oh! - Shall we meet up?

Is there anywhere you'd like to go?

Yes, yes, yes!

Wow, they're so pretty.

Hello!

Look at its eyes. So pretty.

Come here.

Hello.

Because horses evolved while being chased by predators,

they can be extremely sensitive to unfamiliar environments or sudden stimuli...

Let's give it a try, okay?

Sir, can we ride this?

I've never ridden anything except in a car...

Se Ah!

Up you go.

Wow, it's really high.

- Is it fun? - Yeah.

- Come on, get on. - No, I'm fine.

He's going to ride too.

I'm fine.

You're... really good at it.

How is it?

- Wow, careful. - This is amazing.

How did they even ride this?

With the growing emphasis on low-carbon green growth,

bicycle culture is becoming increasingly popular...

Wow, let's ride bikes too.

Well, but I've only ever driven large vehicles...

Assistant Manager Ki, you need to pedal.

Okay?

Fun, right?

It's really nice, right?

[Mr. Tiger]

Did you eat lunch? What'd you have?

I ate jjamppong.

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

What do women like men to say to them?

Something that'll move a relationship along quickly?

Why bother saying something long?

One sentence is enough.

One sentence?

Ms. Kwon Se Ah.

Yes?

- I love you. - Yes.

What?

Did I hear that wrong?

You heard me right.

I love you, Se Ah.

What?

Why?

You don't like hearing that?

Oh, no.

It's not that at all. But...

He must be joking, right?

I'm not joking.

I mean it.

By the way, Assistant Manager Ki, can you read minds or something?

Se Ah, your thoughts are written all over your face.

That's why I like you even better.

Oh, it's so nice here.

The view is beautiful, and it's so refreshing.

Yeah.

Why did he suddenly say, "I love you"?

How many times have you even seen me?

Is Assistant Manager Ki the kind of guy who falls in love right away?

He didn't seem like it, though.

Well, wouldn't people normally say

something like "I like you"

or "Do you want to date me?" first?

Well, I'd have to try it myself to know.

That punk...

Hey! You get a 30,000-won fine for riding on the sidewalk!

I caught you.

I've seen your face!

Have you eaten?

I ate. Pizza and pasta.

Good job.

Oh, why were you spacing out like that earlier?

Did something happen?

No, nothing.

Want to go play some games?

- No. - Want to go get some chicken feet?

No.

Why?

Because I like you?

Hey, don't say things like that.

It's making me uncomfortable.

Kwon Se Ah.

I do like you,

but these are just my feelings.

Of course, I respect whatever you feel toward me.

The time I've spent with you and our friendship mean a lot to me.

If you meet someone you like, I'll let go of my feelings.

Until then, I'll just keep feeling this way.

So can't you just hang out with me today?

Hey, I'd be really hurt if this made things awkward between us.

Oh, say something.

You have to tell me what you're thinking for me to know.

Okay.

But if you say something like "I like you" one more time, I'm going to kill you.

Okay!

Let's go.

Don't do that.

Where? Let's go!

Let's start with the PC bang.

Good.

Oh, Mr. Jo. What's up this early?

Sir, that woman who's your friend's wife...

The one who caught those voice-phishing scammers herself last time.

What does she do for a living?

Ms. Bo Na?

She's just an ordinary office worker. Why?

Wow. I thought she worked in action or something.

She's quite the joker, huh?

What those scammers said about her was actually true?

Just send it over for now.

So he just jumped over those buildings?

What, did he fly?

What a lunatic.

What on earth are you thinking?

Are you finished already? Or did you not even start?

Why'd you leave your job, Team Leader?

All of a sudden? Come on.

I told you before.

I was exhausted physically and emotionally after divorcing the kids' dad,

and I lost the will to work.

People change when life takes a major turn.

I didn't believe you back then, either.

But was there really no other reason?

Because my husband found out.

What I was really doing.

He told me to quit immediately and disappear somewhere far away.

And never show my face in front of the family again.

In return, he said he'd keep it a secret

from the kids for the rest of their lives.

Sure, I said yes.

What else could I do? I'm their mom.

I have to protect my kids.

Why are you suddenly asking that?

So an unavoidable variable popped up with your husband, huh?

Is this about him coming by last time?

I'm not sure.

I want to ask, but I can't bring myself to.

You're worrying in advance

because you're afraid of what the answer might be, right?

Not every story ends the same way.

Besides, he's your husband, and he cares about you more than anyone else.

That's not like you.

You're not the type to worry in advance.

- Oh, you're here? - Yeah.

About Oh Seung Ah, you asked me to look into, she changed her name.

Changed it? To what?

Oh Hyun Nam.

[Personal Information] This is her current ID photo.

Her current address is Hanan-ro in Yangpyeong-gu.

And she seems to have a decent job too.

Where does she work?

Durumi Electronics?

[Oh Hyun Nam, Durumi Electronics Sales Team 3]

I put the advice you gave me to good use.

The advice I gave you?

Oh.

How long have you two been dating?

What?

You didn't use it on some woman you'd barely even met, did you?

Good grief, only a lunatic would do that.

Jeez.

Do you have anything to say?

I was just going to get something to drink.

Okay.

Excuse me, who... are you?

Oh, my!

Tae Min.

Are you crazy?

Are you dating someone?

Hey!

Wow, this is so unfamiliar. Very unfamiliar.

Hey, this place has changed a little.

Did you take a shower?

Huh?

And what's with your hair...

Hey!

Is everything all right now?

Yeah.

Yul's doing better now.

No, I mean you. You've never been like that before.

Well...

Maybe it's because I'm a mom now?

If that's all it is, that's a relief.

You.... Why did you follow me back then?

Take me with you too.

I didn't get my slingshot back then.

When I came to Korea, why did you follow me?

Because Yoo Bo Na was going.

Then...

if I leave again someday,

will you follow me then too?

Are you going somewhere?

Where would I even go?

Everything I need is right here.

Any update on that punk?

Nothing much.

What's up? Is something happening?

No. I guess I'm just being sensitive.

Please check his main routes and let me know.

[Chief's Office]

What's gotten into you? Why have you been so out of it lately?

Is something going on?

No. Nothing like that.

That's the problem.

Can you have nothing going on? Of course, you can't.

You should have plenty going on.

It's been ages since the Kingfisher task force was launched.

You should have something to show for it by now.

Me? Show what?

What do you mean, "what"?

Who Kingfisher is, how old he is, where he lives, what he does.

Why should I?

Why me? There are loads of reporters around.

Why should I be the one doing that?

You've devoted years to chasing Kingfisher. Why are you getting mad?

I hear this task force is different from the previous ones.

Everyone's closing in, thinking they might actually get something this time.

Do you want to end up doing nothing but transcribing everyone else's work?

Those Kingfisher articles you've written over the years.

They offer a different depth and perspective. I like them!

Honestly, your articles were pretty sympathetic toward Kingfisher, weren't they?

And you're just going to sit on the sidelines now?

You're really going to let everyone say whatever they want about Kingfisher?

[Kwon Tae Seong]

[Kingfisher, Search Results]

[If I Ever Meet Kingfisher]

[If I Ever Meet Kingfisher]

What kind of person

would devote their entire life to something like that?

But I didn't.

I never carelessly speculated about him.

So even if Kingfisher's identity is revealed someday,

I won't be surprised.

I'll simply look forward to the day I finally meet him.

I want to sit beside him by the campfire

and listen to him talk about his life all night.

Without asking anything, I could simply listen.

But if I were to meet him as an ordinary citizen rather than a reporter,

I'd have a legal duty to report him to the police.

Could I do that?

Can I actually turn him in?

To that question, I haven't found an answer yet.

Will you report it to the police?

Oh, since you're a reporter, are you going to expose her in an article?

Did you do that to me that day because you were afraid I'd do that?

If that was the case, I wouldn't have just put you to sleep.

Well, let's just say I changed my mind.

Because I got curious.

About what exactly Yoo Bo Na is trying to protect.

And whether she'll be

able to keep protecting it.

What do you mean?

It's probably the same kind of thing?

The reason you wanted to keep your promise to me.

Oh, by the way, Yoo Bo Na doesn't know about that day, right?

That's why I'm still alive and well.

Isn't it probably the same thing?

The reason why you had to

remain in the dark about Yoo Bo Na.

"What matters is the present, not the past." You once said it, right?

Yoo Bo Na was Yoo Bo Na in the past, and she's still Yoo Bo Na now.

What's left is your choice, isn't it?

Whether you go with her or leave her behind.

Including reporting or exposing her in an article, of course.

[Durumi Electronics]

Ms. Oh Hyun Nam!

Don't you want some coffee?

Oh, excuse me!

I think you dropped something.

Thank you.

Why's there nowhere to park around here?

What, isn't it here?

Kingfisher's hiatus...

What were the exact dates again?

Grandma!

Oh, my, look who's here!

Yul is here.

- You're here? - Yes, Mother.

Did you just get off work?

Yeah, Yul wanted your fried chicken, so I brought her.

- Oh. - Really?

I'll fry you some really tasty chicken.

Okay.

Come sit down.

Yes, Mother.

Oh, Tae Seong's coming too, right?

Oh, he's been pretty busy lately, Mother.

I barely even see him myself.

Really?

I'll have it ready in no time.

She's being unusually sweet.

Is this the power of money?

Yul, tear it up and eat it.

Are things hard for you these days?

You look really tired and stressed out.

Well...

Mother, Tae Seong hasn't said anything unusual to you, has he?

He hasn't really told me anything...

Why? What's up with Tae Seong?

Is Tae Seong cheating on you?

Be careful what you say around the kid.

You think he'd do something like that?

I'm just kidding!

- Yul, eat plenty. - Okay.

I'm not too sure, Mother.

I just feel like Tae Seong's been a little upset with me lately.

What could he be upset with you about?

I guess that time has come.

That's why I quit working when Hyeok Jun was five.

My husband made such a fuss about me putting work before our child and him...

Then quit your job too.

Mom!

You're not exactly saving the world.

What could possibly be more important to a woman than her husband and child?

Oh, Bo Na, don't take it to heart.

There's one thing.

My own life.

I got married at 24

and lived only for my husband and kids.

Then when Tae Seong's dad suddenly passed away, I felt so lost.

I needed to make a living, but I didn't know how to do anything.

So I scraped together what I had and opened this place.

At first, I was embarrassed to be frying chicken.

Oil splashed everywhere, my skin got burned,

and I had to deal with drunk customers.

Good grief.

I cried a lot too.

Mom.

But I came back to the shop the next day.

I had to open the doors.

No matter how hard it was, I kept showing up.

And you know what? I came to like it.

I was the owner of this shop.

Frying chicken was my job.

I realized, "Oh, this is my life."

Working while raising a child isn't easy.

But what can you do?

Unless you absolutely hate what you do,

if it's something you love, you have to see it through.

Oh, I completely forgot.

I left a dishcloth boiling on the stove.

When you're both busy, bring Yul here.

I'll watch her, even if I have to close the shop.

And pay me for the day's work.

Didn't you say you'd never close up, no matter what?

You changed your tune pretty fast, huh?

Mommy, catch me if you can!

Yul!

Oh, you're too fast. I can't catch you.

- What should we do next then? - Mommy!

- I want to do that! - Okay, go on up. You're good at that.

Watch your head.

Wow.

Wow, you're good!

I actually don't really like strawberry shakes.

But when I fell in love, I really wanted to do that.

Sitting across from each other and drinking strawberry shakes.

Because that's the kind of person you are to me.

You're going higher!

Mommy, I want to do that.

Okay.

Can you get up on your own, Yul?

- Yeah, I can get up. - Go ahead. Stand up.

Oh, let's see.

Your hand looks okay. Right?

Does it hurt? You're bleeding a little, Yul.

[A Band-Aid]

Does it hurt?

With this on, it'll get better in no time, right?

Yeah.

Wow, it really stuck on well.

Did it stick?

Yeah.

Huh? It's Daddy!

Daddy!

My little precious!

- Did you have fun? - Yeah.

What did you do?

I went on the swings too.

You're back early today.

Yeah, I finished early.

What about dinner?

Well, not yet.

Let's go home. I'll whip up something tasty for you.

Okay.

Even right now, Kingfisher could be

sitting at a dinner table looking completely ordinary.

A diligent employee, someone's spouse, or a loving parent.

He could've gotten married, started a family, and had kids, like me.

- Hey, you. - Hey, who knows?

That sticker might really have been a clue.

You never know.

[Headband, Red Devil, Tall and Slender]

[Short or Tied Hair, Big Bag on Shoulder]

Who is it?

What brings you here at this hour, out of the blue?

I happened to be nearby, so I stopped in to see Yul.

Yul, Mr. Dong Jin is here!

Mr. Lee!

Oh, Yul. There's my Yul.

Yul, how old are you?

- Four. - That's right, four.

Dong Jin, you're here?

Oh, yes.

Sorry for dropping by without calling.

- Not at all. - I already had dinner.

Grab some tea and fruit. Come on in.

Why are you just standing there? Sit down.

- When did you say you first met Bo Na? - Huh?

Eight years ago, during the World Cup.

When you had your head cracked open and were in the hospital, right?

Why are you suddenly asking about my love life?

Are you lonely these days?

Mr. Lee, look at this.

Oh, Yul!

Wow, you put stickers on your doll?

Wow.

It's a Baby Shark sticker!

You like Baby Shark, don't you, Yul?

Yeah, I do.

Come on, what kid doesn't like that these days?

Just like you said, every home in the country with a toddler has tons of them.

Yeah.

Dong Jin, have some fruit.

Oh, thank you.

Are you still busy these days?

Well, yes.

I joined the Kingfisher task force.

Oh, then you must be really busy.

Well, it's just...

You returned to work after taking three years of parental leave, right?

Have you adjusted okay?

Well, yeah. Everything's fine.

She's been back at work for ages. Mind your own business, man.

Well, you know Gu Jong Ryeol, right?

Gu Jong Ryeol?

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.

I saw the article.

I have a feeling...

that it was the work of Kingfisher.

Yul, do you want some fruit?

Here you go.

There were severe signs of blunt-force trauma on his face.

But Kingfisher has never physically touched his victims before.

You know him better than anyone. You're the Kingfisher expert.

What are you doing talking about work here?

Have some fruit. It's good.

Alright.

The profiler said there was emotion involved.

If he beat him that brutally, there had to be anger behind it.

The kid can hear you. Stop.

Well, it just made me

think of something.

Could Kingfisher be a parent raising a child?

Mommy, have one of these.

Okay.

Yul, do you like apples better?

You said it yourself.

He could've gotten married and had a child. You never know.

Finished your tea?

Let's step outside.

Do you have something to say to me?

Say it. Stop beating around the bush. What is it?

Are you in league with Kingfisher?

What kind of nonsense have you been spouting lately?

The person you said you had to protect with that embargo,

is it Kingfisher?

To that question, I haven't found an answer yet.

No, I'm on your side.

I'm being serious.

That man I saw before, he really is Kingfisher.

On the day of the Haegong-dong incident,

I tailed Yeon Chang Bok's mom and found where Yeon Chang Bok was hiding.

I searched the nearby rooftops, spotted Kingfisher taking aim, and got caught.

Hey, why are you only telling me this now?

Because he threatened to harm my family.

Then the person you said you had to protect....

My wife and my child. My beloved family.

I need to protect them.

You'll be on my side, right?

Huh?

You said you wanted to repay the favor.

Did you see him off okay?

Yul fell asleep.

I'll clean up. You go wash up first, honey.

What's wrong?

I'm done with everything busy now. Want to take Yul out this weekend?

I'd love to.

Yul, look at Daddy.

Daddy!

Look at Daddy.

Mommy, hello!

Be careful!

Got you.

Mommy's taking a picture! Look at Mommy!

Yul!

- Oh, dear... - Sir, let me help you with that.

Oh... Yes. Thank you.

It's super yummy.

- I love you. - You love Mommy?

I love you too.

I love you too.

Oh, thank you.

- Yes. - Thank you.

Wait...

Call an ambulance!

What happened?

What exactly is the point of all this?

Kingfisher's social death?

Is Kingfisher seriously insane?

Why would he suddenly start killing people who aren't even criminals?

Isn't it possible the killer isn't Kingfisher?

Do you have evidence?

We'll need to check that out from now on.

Someone who can imitate Kingfisher and wants to bring him down.

Bo Na, I can't find Yul!

We have to catch them before there's a third victim.

I heard hair with matching DNA was found at both shooting locations.

We found it.
