(Mouse)

So the eldest son was a suspect?

Yes.

He was soon ruled out as one though.

Yes. Well, the boy seemed suspicious enough,

so an unofficial lie detector test was conducted.

Nothing jumped out.

Don't you know that a psychopath can beat a polygraph?

Are you suggesting that he's a psychopath?

No, of course not.

I was only voicing a possibility...

since the killer hasn't been caught.

There's no way.

An 11-year-old couldn't have murdered a whole family.

(Guryeong Police Station)

(Trustworthy Police, Safe State)

The nightmare we were forced to live...

by serial killer Head Hunter...

who left 20 victims in his wake...

is terrorizing the nation again after 25 years.

(Mouse)

Oh, no!

- No! - My goodness.

- Step back. - Mi Jung!

Mi Jung!

Mi Jung, no!

Mi Jung!

(Bingo, Detective Ko Moo Chi. Kudos to you. Enjoy my gift.)

Consider yourself on my radar, you sick psychopath.

Here, Boksil.

Come and get your...

It's been a while.

(Moojin University Hospital)

I saw you on TV recently.

I see. Well, the interview was requested,

so I used that as an excuse to visit Korea.

I had some questions I needed answers to as well.

Is that your son?

Yes.

He grew up well.

I'm sorry, but I should be heading out to my shop.

I should've assumed you were busy.

By the way, what happened to the dog?

My son brought it home when it was almost dying...

and treated him.

He's been a sweet kid since a young age.

One who can't see others suffer including animals.

I should get going.

You were wrong, doctor.

(Bingo, Detective Ko Moo Chi. Kudos to you. Enjoy my gift.)

What is it Ms. Choi?

What?

What have shocked people are the objects found at the scene...

which turned out to be the belongings of the gym trainer,

the bar employee, and the unidentified homeless man.

The police are investigating...

under the assumption of this being a serial case...

and have formed a special task force.

Along with the belongings of the four previous victims,

a man's watch was also discovered...

which led to the police...

believing in the possibility of another victim.

Dr. Sung Yo Han, you are urgently requested in the OR.

Dr. Sung Yo Han, you are urgently requested in the OR.

Sorry.

- Excuse me. - Yes, hello.

Can you tell me which department Dr. Sung Yo Han works in?

Save him! Save my boss right now!

Hey, wait.

Hey, what did you just do?

You'd better do a proper job.

I'm also good with knives.

How dare you threaten a gang member?

This part right here works faster than the side.

It's where the carotid passes,

so blood will shoot out like a fountain.

If I also take out this needle,

blood will shoot out from both of you.

It'll be quite a scene.

Out of the way!

Ms. Choi Hong Ju?

Give me an oxygen mask.

Please step aside.

- Please save her. - You need to wait outside.

You're not allowed in here. Please go.

Wait outside.

What happened?

I went to interview her regarding Song Soo Ho's case.

And I found her in a reservoir.

You'll catch a cold.

Gosh, you're completely soaked.

I managed to treat her,

but you do know she's suicidal, right?

She'll soon try to kill herself again.

What a rude jerk.

Thank goodness you found her.

I'm fine.

What's wrong? Does it smell?

- Yes. - Really?

I've only worn it for 15 days.

Darn it.

Don't skip meals. And stop drinking so much.

My poor Soo Jung.

Soo Jung.

My goodness, my poor Soo Jung.

My goodness, Soo Jung.

You do know she's suicidal, right?

She'll soon try to kill herself again.

- I'll be off now. - Okay.

(Goat Man, help me with my grades!)

(We will be redeveloping the area thanks to everyone's cooperation.)

- Father Ko. - Hey.

- Are you coming from somewhere? - Yes.

I didn't get to attend your last mass.

So I went to church to say goodbye, but you weren't there.

My goodness.

He probably packed some food and took it to his little brother.

Your little brother who's a detective?

How's Chi Kook?

He's still not better.

The residents got together and prayed for him today.

So he'll soon wake up.

Yes, I'm sure.

When will you be holding mass at the church in Yirye-dong?

Starting from tomorrow.

But I'm still not done packing,

so I'll be coming here for a few more days.

- Hop on. I'll give you a ride. - Sure.

- Oh, wait. Officer Jung. - Yes?

Didn't you say you need us to sign a form...

- for strengthening the patrol? - Yes.

It's Sunday, so my husband's home. Go and get his signature.

- He's home? - Yes.

He didn't drink today, did he?

- Wait here. I'll be right back. - Okay.

Moo Chi.

I told you not to bring me food.

How many times do I need to tell you that I want nothing to do with you?

That's nonsense. We're brothers.

Our parents will be upset if they see us...

Don't you dare talk to me about Mom and Dad.

Moo Chi, please.

I tried to wrap my head around it...

millions of times.

But it's just so hard to understand you.

How could you forgive the guy who killed our parents...

and did this to you?

How?

You jerk.

I hate you more than Han Seo Joon.

How are you going to face Mom and Dad after you die?

Along with the belongings of the four previous victims,

a man's watch was also discovered...

which led to the police believing in...

the possibility of another victim.

Father Ko! Father Ko!

It's not him.

What do you mean it's not him?

Chi Kook's watch was found at the murder scene.

The murder that occurred at the vineyard.

What? Whose watch?

It's the same watch, isn't it?

How many times do I need to tell you?

I stabbed him because he kept bashing the Head Hunter.

You stripped his clothes off except for his underwear.

Where did you put Na Chi Kook's clothes?

I already told you I burned them. I'm sure it's all written there.

What about the weapon? You can't have burned that too.

I'm not going to tell you. Find it yourself.

Let's see how competent Korean cops are.

You obviously can't tell me...

because you didn't do it.

I told you I stabbed him.

Then did you also kill the head trainer,

female employee, homeless person, and female university student?

How did you manage to do that when you're stuck in there?

What do you mean?

The dead university student was wearing this watch,

which belonged to Na Chi Kook, the guy you tried to kill.

How did this watch manage to end up there?

Does it have feet or what?

Are these things in the middle feet?

Did you think Han Seo Joon would compliment you...

if you confessed that you did it?

Go back inside and lick that monster's shoes, you jerk.

- Move the patient to the ward. - Okay.

- Hello? - Mr. Sung Yo Han?

Who is this?

Are you Han Seo Joon's son?

I'd like to talk to you regarding the recent murders.

Sure. I'll see you then.

Attention.

We still haven't found the victim's clothes...

and the weapon that was used to stab him.

Until now, we only searched inside the correctional facility.

From now on, I want you to search the exterior...

as well as all the areas where outsiders are allowed in...

on top of searching inside the facility. Begin searching.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Let's go.

Detective, if outsiders could come and go,

don't you think the culprit would've taken everything outside that day?

They checked everyone's belongings before they came in,

so it wouldn't have been easy to take anything out.

Whether he got rid of it or hid it, it has to be in here.

Then aside from the weapon,

why is it so important to find Chi Kook's clothes?

Because this guy never stripped anyone's clothes off before.

So the fact that he took off Chi Kook's clothes...

means there's crucial evidence there.

(Lead with love)

What? How did you do that?

Inside the box, there's a mirror placed diagonally.

You make the person go inside the mirror.

But the audience sees what's reflected in the mirror,

which makes it look empty...

Okay, I get it. So this space was supposed to be empty,

- which is where Chi Kook was found? - That's right.

That means he was already inside.

A grown man was inside, so it must've been pretty heavy.

How could you not notice anything?

This magic box itself is really heavy.

But even if there's a man that weighs over 100kg inside,

the box moves just fine.

- They're special wheels. - Go inside.

Me? Oh, okay.

1, 2, 3. Lift.

Okay.

You'll come watch, right?

I don't think I can.

They asked me to help with some forms in the office.

Dong Koo will take it personally.

Make up later, okay?

Okay. Good luck today. Don't get nervous.

- Okay. Work hard. - Okay!

That was around noon.

I left it here once I brought it in...

so it wouldn't get in people's ways.

When did you leave it?

Only when I went on stage.

The entire team was with me.

I stepped away for lunch.

That's right.

Did everyone leave?

Yes. They said the cafeteria was about to close...

and to bring them right away, so I brought them with me.

I made sure everyone went.

How long were you gone?

Excluding the time it takes to get to and back from the cafe...

About 30 minutes?

Since we had coffee after we ate.

Do you have any cameras in here?

Visitors use it to change,

so there was a complaint.

Let's see.

Around what time did the team arrive at the cafeteria?

It was after the guards ate,

- so around 1pm? - Stop.

1:10pm. 1:10pm.

Then when they left.

Stop. Slow down.

1, 2, 3...

Stop.

1:40pm.

They ate for 30 minutes.

It's 20 minutes to the cafeteria and back.

They ate for 30 minutes, so it was a total of 50 minutes.

It's more than enough time to put him in the box...

after killing him.

We're looking for a knife and the victim's blue uniform.

What is he doing?

What are you doing? I said to leave hours ago.

The killer.

You said he moved the bodies to where the cross was visible...

and gave the deity the finger, all because he hated the deity.

But not Chi Kook.

Why was he different?

I don't get that either.

Come at me.

Get up. Come on. Up.

Come at me.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

I heard a lot about you from Father Ko,

but it's my first time actually meeting you.

Do you think it's your first time?

Pardon?

What happened to that bird?

Bird?

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

From back then!

I'm sorry. I must've startled you.

He's still at my home.

He'll be all better soon.

What a crazy lucky bird.

It would've been six feet under if it had met me instead.

Gosh.

Father Ko bragged so much about you.

That you're amazing, that you fight for justice,

- and... - Don't talk about that jerk.

So I was thinking...

I'd like to learn from you.

- What? - Let me join the investigation.

I want to help you catch the jerk who did that to Chi Kook.

You're a cop, right?

I work at the Gudong precinct. I'm still a newbie.

Do you think patrolling a neighborhood...

is the same as catching a serial killer?

But when I think about Chi Kook,

I don't think I should sit back and do nothing.

Have you ever met a psychopath?

What?

It's much more than you imagine.

It's a frightening monster that a naive puppy like you...

can't ever imagine.

Only guys like me who have nothing to lose...

with nothing but evil left within must deal with them.

(Gudong Gym)

Look at the time.

You said you were at the library. Were you at a comic book cafe?

(Raeun Comics 24 Hour Cafe)

None of your business.

How's your hand? Is it better?

Why is it so cold?

Want to die?

Forget that. Let's go.

Where?

- Let's go. - Where? Let go.

Can't you just go without complaining?

Let go. You lunatic. Hey.

Why can't you eat? Eat up.

You need to eat something hot so you can warm up.

Here. Put the rice in.

- Punk Officer Jung. - Office Jung. Minus the "punk".

Please. Or just Ba Reum.

May I marry you, Punk Officer Jung?

I'll be good to you.

I cook well...

I will cook well.

I'll clean well too.

If you want me to make money, I'll get a job.

Although I'm weak...

Hey. Is... Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong. Just answer me.

You're...

You're like a cute little sister to me.

Eat up.

Talk about a messed up rejection.

Bong Yi. Hey. Bong Yi.

She was moved to a hospital room.

I see.

What's this about Song Soo Ho's killer...

almost killing a prison guard?

How did you know about that?

The investigation is still under wraps.

You again?

Hey, Ms. Choi.

- How about some coffee? - Sounds good.

This from a guy who's never offered me anything before?

Coffee? Coffee!

Thank you.

You were given the last coffee stick we have.

Wait. Where did you get this?

This? I found it on your desk.

You imbecile Nepo!

This is the evidence found in Jo Mi Jung's hand!

Seriously? Darn, you idiot!

My gosh.

- Where did you come from? - Eo Bong Yi!

Eo Bong Yi!

I wasn't kidding about pulling out your tongue.

It's Oh Bong Yi, not Eo Bong Yi.

I wasn't calling you, you know.

Eo Bong Yi is the bird's name.

Hey, Eo Bong Yi.

Eo Bong Yi!

- What? - Just a second.

- Are you calling dibs? - Yes.

No!

- Is it on my head? - Yes, so hold still.

It hurt its leg.

I let it fly thinking it was healed,

but I guess I was wrong.

- Get it off me. - Just a second.

Eo Bong Yi must like you though.

They say that animals can tell who is nice and kind.

A good person, you say?

No, probably those who are cute. Cute like a little sister.

Wait. Are you upset about what I said last night?

- You... - Bong Yi, you see...

Do you really think I have feelings for you?

What?

Just stick to caring for the bird, you idiot.

But Bong Yi... Bong Yi!

(You're not alone.)

(Moojin Serial Murder Special Task Force HQ)

Then Father, how were you and the members...

invited to perform at the prison?

Is there perhaps a newly-recruited member?

I was there to guide the volunteer group.

Ba Reum, who's part of the volunteer group,

said he needed an assistant for the magic show.

None of them were newly recruited.

They're people of the church...

who've been volunteering together for at least a year.

None of my people could've done this...

Ko Moo Chi.

We need to talk.

Get in here.

I see that the captain gets a couch.

Sweet.

The coffee stick will be kept a secret,

- so don't say a word. - Why though?

It could mean that there's another victim.

How can a coffee stick mean that?

It was clenched in the victim's hand.

I'm sure it belongs to another victim.

The belongings of the other victims were what they valued.

I doubt that's the case with a coffee stick.

Who knows? She might've loved that brand.

Shut it, will you?

I'm saying this for your sake, you know.

If word gets out, you and Detective Shin...

will be on the chopping block for misplacing evidence.

Got it?

Do you want to end your career over this?

Darn that punk. This is exactly why people think a higher-up hired him.

Unbelievable.

Anyway, head to Ms. Choi and keep her from talking.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

No, I'm good. I'll call if we need your help.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

- Yes, I'm good. - Gosh.

- Thank you. - Sure.

(Moojin Police Station)

Take care.

(Sharing Love in Gudong)

Why bother entertaining those freaks behind bars?

All it does is land you at a police station.

- Sorry? - Did you have to summon someone...

who's clearly disabled?

You could've gone to him instead!

Can't you be more considerate?

That's rich coming from a guy...

who points his gun at suspects first.

- Are you done talking? - What?

Ko Moo Chi, have some respect.

Don't you know that I'm your senior?

So what if you are?

Being older doesn't guarantee you respect.

A wiser man wouldn't have summoned a disabled man here.

Stop it, please!

Were you married in a past life?

Only that can explain the bickering.

Here's the list of everyone...

who went in and out of the prison that day.

Check them all starting with the ex-cons.

Sure.

Goodness.

If word gets out that evidence was destroyed,

I might have to give up my badge.

You know how I'm already getting the stink-eye.

It's you who drank it anyway,

so this will stay a secret.

Say you're sorry then.

What?

"I apologize for not recognizing you."

"I regret it." Say that...

and I'll keep silent.

What didn't I recognize?

Are you sure you don't remember?

- Darn it! - Why? Can't you do it?

Let me see.

- That scum Reporter Yang... - Do as you wish.

Tell him whatever you want.

Where are you going?

To catch a psychopath.

- Detective Ko. - Why are you here and not at work?

To give Chi Kook's mom a break,

Dong Koo and I have been taking turns when we can.

I think they were cut off while blocking the weapon he used.

Out of the two, one was reattached,

but the other one...

got to the doctor too late for surgery.

I wonder why he revealed Na Chi Kook's watch...

when it will obviously make him get caught...

in the police dragnet.

You have a point.

After having stabbed him that many times,

the culprit surely would've thought he was dead.

It's a miracle that he's still alive.

But if you want to hear the details, you should ask his doctor.

Is Dr. Sung not here yet?

No, I can't get a hold of him.

Then please give me a call once he comes to work.

Okay.

A patient named Oh Mi Soon got hospitalized yesterday.

Can you tell me which room she's in?

This is very demotivating.

I'm working so hard to catch the guy who killed your son.

But look at you.

I swore to catch that jerk.

You need to stay alive to see me catch him.

So why in the world...

If you ever do this again, I'm not going to catch him.

Is that okay with you?

Please catch him, Detective Ko.

No, I'm not going to catch him.

I'm going to kill him.

So don't ever try to do this again.

Yes, kill him for me.

Please.

That's it for today. I'll see you guys tomorrow.

- Thank you. - Bye, guys.

Gosh, I can't wait.

Me neither.

- I'm so looking forward to it. - She's sleeping again.

- Again? - My mom told me...

- not to hang out with her. - Why?

Isn't it obvious?

Okay, you guys.

- What should we at? - How about tteokbokki?

- Okay, sure. - I'm hungry.

- I'm starving. - I can't wait.

It's going to be so exciting.

- I love this group. - We get along so well.

It's so sad that we need to leave.

- Right. - Yes.

What?

Officer Jung gave it to us.

He told me you seemed to like the bird.

What a weirdo.

I never liked this bird.

Tell him to take it back.

I can't even take good care of myself.

Gosh, that brat has such a nasty temper.

You're such a clean freak.

Bong Yi, what brings you to my place?

Is this you?

Yes.

Your mother is beautiful.

Do you receive bribes? This place is huge for one person.

I bought it with my parents' insurance money after they passed.

Do you want something to drink?

Thanks for the bird.

You seemed to really like it this morning.

Take good care of it.

Were you flustered because of what I said to you...

at the ox bone soup restaurant?

What? Well...

I was just kidding.

But you seemed to take it way too seriously.

You were joking, right?

I thought you actually meant it.

- I was worried I might've hurt... - You thought I got hurt?

Me?

That's nonsense.

I felt really sorry about startling you like that.

So I cooked this for you.

- You cooked this yourself? - Try it.

No, I'll eat it.

Think of my sincerity and have a bite.

Ba Reum, try it.

What did you just call me?

Okay, fine.

What do you think?

- It's good. - Really?

- What is it? - What do you think?

It's spicy stir-fried chicken.

- Spicy stir-fried chicken? - If it's good, try some more.

How is it so tender? It's really good.

Right? That bird tastes great, doesn't it?

It was so cute, and it's really yummy too.

What? It's the bird?

What do you think? Do you still think I'm cute?

Hey, you.

I told him the chicken was you,

and that fool totally bought it.

It felt so nice.

I must admit, he does seem a bit cute...

every time he gets really flustered.

Sir! Detective Ko!

We have a situation. Get over here.

It's hard to believe that a police officer...

ended up drinking crime scene evidence.

It was something that was found at the vineyard murder scene.

- Gosh, who leaked this? - It was found...

- Who did this? - along with the objects...

- Who leaked this? - the other victims' belongings.

We also found out that the police even tried...

- to conceal this. - "OB..."

"OBN News"? Isn't that where Ms. Choi...

Hey, don't be suspicious of her when we have no evidence.

She's not that type of person.

I never liked how she came here as if she worked here.

Let's say she tipped them off. How are you going to blame her?

We're the ones who shouldn't have tried to conceal it.

That's why everyone blames things on the police.

That... That little... Did you just hear him?

I'm going to lose all my hair because of that jerk.

I can't believe she leaked that...

just because I didn't do what she asked.

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

- Leave a message after the beep. - You're not even going to pick up?

What are you doing here?

I was so worried because I couldn't reach you all day.

What is it? Did something happen?

I'm scared.

I'm scared.

- What is it? - Just a second.

Let's just stay like this for a bit.

Detective Ko, let's date.

The murder occurred in the middle of a reed bed...

- What? - Let's date.

I bet you're the only woman in this entire world...

who asks a guy out at a murder scene.

- No. - "No"? Why?

You're not my type.

You really know how to hurt someone. So it's not even worth considering?

No.

You're the worst.

You have a good eye for criminals,

but I guess it's hard for you to see what a catch I am.

You're going to regret this.

Did you find Han Seo Joon's son?

I'll make his son carry it too.

The horrifying memory that I carry with me my whole life.

I'll make him carry it too.

What are you thinking about?

What is it?

(Moojin Serial Murder)

Let go.

You were taken off the case.

What do you mean? This is my case...

You're awaiting an assignment, so just lay low.

Wait a second.

Are you the one who ratted me out to the reporter?

You're being very suspicious.

Hey, Nepo. How are you doing?

How's the air there?

Me?

Why would I be busy? I'm waiting to be assigned.

I have lots of free time.

Thank you for coming all this way.

It's fine.

What's the point in killing time in the station?

Might as well get some air.

I have no luck.

Why do I get a murder case as soon as I arrive?

Isn't it a missing person?

It's a murder.

They haven't found the body is all. The higher-ups are being hush-hush.

The higher-ups?

The missing person is Dr. Daniel Lee.

You know, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize.

He came to clean up as usual.

Everything else was turned off, but this...

This Ferris wheel was still going.

So he took a look, and it was like this.

How do you know this is Dr. Daniel Lee's blood?

They found a car out there by the amusement park,

and it was the car he had rented...

through the hotel that day.

So they checked the DNA from inside the car...

and the blood, and they were a match.

- But the body is gone. - Yes.

If he was at a closed amusement park at that time,

he was meeting someone secretly.

What is this? It looks like a zipper.

It was in the car.

It looks like a jacket zipper.

We checked the hotel security videos,

and he left wearing a suit.

I think it came from the killer.

Which hotel?

This way.

We checked, and there were no signs of forced entry.

Let's see that again.

Stop.

Find her and find out whom he called at that hour.

Why should I beg?

That brat keeps spreading rumors about me.

Darn it. I won't go to school.

I don't need this stupid school.

She has no manners. What a brat.

You.

- What garbage were you spreading? - What?

What garbage...

were you spreading about Bong Yi?

Well... I heard it from my mom...

Mom.

What? I never said anything.

- You nasty witches. - Oh my gosh!

How dare you run your mouth like that? I'll teach you a lesson.

Ma'am.

Hey.

Hey. It's nothing.

Let's go home.

What happened to your leg?

It's just a cramp. This will fix it.

What do you want to eat?

What should I make for dinner?

I don't want to eat.

You'd better eat.

Tell me what you want to eat.

What? Should I make...

- Pork... - I don't want to eat.

Grandma says she'll make you meat, and you're saying no?

That brat never listens.

What will you grow up to be?

I'm like this because I listen to you too well.

What... What was that?

Am I wrong?

If I didn't listen to you,

I wouldn't have gone out to buy your makgeolli.

Then that would never have...

My gosh...

Gosh.

(It's a process of challenging...)

Bong Yi!

Your phone keeps ringing.

(Grandma)

(Grandma)

The phone is turned off.

Please leave...

What's going on?

Oh well.

(Dechember 13, 2019, Kang Duk Soo's releese)

Of course. His release is only two months away.

You must be agitated.

Don't you worry.

Grandma will take care of everything.

You won't get to live even a day as a free man.

That's the last of it, right? I thank you in advance.

My gosh.

Officer Jung, why are you carrying this down?

- Leave it to the workers. - Of course, I should help.

It's so sad to see you actually leave.

I know. We were the last to hold out...

in this neighborhood.

Anyway, thanks for helping out when you have your own job.

I'll help out with the final batch.

- Thank you so much! - No problem.

Goodness, me.

Officer Jung.

Ma'am?

Hi, ma'am.

Here. Have this.

How's your ankle?

I see the swelling went down.

- Are you keeping it on ice? - Sure.

What did I tell you about swapping out plasters?

That'll speed up the healing process.

Right.

Is there a special occasion today?

You're dressed nicely.

Oh, this?

I had to drop by Bong Yi's school.

You should dress like this all the time.

I'm blinded by your beauty.

However, this kind of ruins the look.

I should get you a prettier one next time.

What? You must really be blind.

I wouldn't trade it for even a billion dollars.

This?

When Bong Yi was a little girl,

she made it for me as a birthday gift.

Bong Yi must've been good to you when she was young.

She'd follow me around calling me "Grandma"...

and hug me all the time.

You have no idea how sweet she was.

Really?

I can hardly imagine it.

Officer Jung,

would it be okay for me...

to ask a favor of you?

Pay the settlement or your granddaughter...

will end up behind bars without getting to graduate.

(Help Wanted: Housekeeper)

It's not even easy for those younger to find jobs these days.

Who'd want to hire someone as old as you?

They'd find it uncomfortable.

What? You see,

I only look way older than my age.

I'm actually not that old.

From what I saw earlier, you walked in here with a limp.

Oh, that?

I only tripped on the stairs while walking up here.

The limp will be gone in a few hours.

I'll only receive half of what the others get paid,

- so please find me a place to work. - Ma'am.

Drink this and be on your way.

Where are you going?

The restroom. Please drink that and leave.

Then...

Fine.

Goodness.

This'll do wonders for Bong Yi's constipation.

I'll be borrowing these.

My gosh!

Hold on.

There it is.

Hello? The lady in charge went to take a dump...

What?

Is that so?

Yes, we'll send help right away.

Right. Can I have your address?

Sure, go ahead.

Street name...

Go on.

Stop. That's enough.

Stop it. Stop.

Today's session ends here. You've gotten really good.

Thank you, coach.

It wasn't the bird that I ate.

That's what you came to argue about?

Not answering your grandma's calls has her worried,

so I told her I'd look for you.

Just go home and stop making her worry.

Annoying jerk.

Being a cop must mean you can duel.

Nice. Come up here, then.

What?

Wait. Bong Yi, hold on.

Bong Yi!

Enough!

Bong Yi...

Bong Yi.

Okay, I give in. You win!

I feel bad for the residents of Gudong.

All they have is a weak cop like you watching out for them.

How did you become a cop when you lack stamina?

Bong Yi, do you know why your grandma...

was late to pick you up?

As if I care.

I don't even want to know.

She was in too much of a rush...

that she slipped in the rain and sprained her ankle.

You should've seen the swelling.

You're aware of her age, aren't you?

Keep acting out like this...

and you'll only regret it once she passes.

Be good while she's still alive so that you won't regret it.

Officer Jung.

Mind your own business.

Bong Yi.

Do you really want...

to marry me?

Again, you're being an annoying jerk.

- And who may you be? - Isn't it obvious?

You called for a housekeeper.

The lady who usually works this house is sick,

- so I came instead. - But...

Wait.

I see you have a guest over.

Don't mind me...

and do what you need to do.

I think my mom sent her over. She does it sometimes.

I'll get going then.

Sure.

Goodness. Look at this spacious house.

Do you pay a monthly rent or a yearly one?

Don't tell me you own the place.

My mother must've hired a housekeeper,

but I don't let others clean up for me.

I'm sorry, but you need to leave.

I'll make sure...

to clean every surface there is...

to the point that you can lick it,

so get ready to be dazzled.

Do what you need to do...

and let me get to work.

I'll go and get changed first.

Captain. Captain!

Why must we submit all the evidence?

That'll hinder the investigation.

Just submit them and have them approved first.

That's utter nonsense!

What are you yelling at me for?

That punk...

What a troublemaker.

Get up and answer the phone!

Captain. Captain!

(Captain's Office)

Unbelievable.

Yes, this is Mr. Troublemaker speaking.

Sir, I found out who Dr. Lee was talking to on the phone.

Really?

Good job. Tell me.

"Sung Yo Han"?

"Sung Yo Han"?

But if you want to hear the details, you should ask his doctor.

Is Dr. Sung not here yet?

Isn't he Na Chi Kook's doctor?

Hello?

What brings you to call me?

Yes.

Oh, goodness. My gosh. I must've dropped it...

while cleaning the floor. You can give it back.

Isn't it pretty?

My granddaughter...

made this for me.

You can stop cleaning and leave.

What? Oh, okay.

Wait. Are you leaving like that? I can't let you do that.

It's really chilly outside.

You should wear something warm.

Here. Wear this.

Here you go.

Wear this.

Good. Go on then.

Goodness, he's so cold.

What?

What...

My goodness gracious.

He gave me so much.

My goodness.

He's not only rich, but he's also very generous.

If I work a few more days,

I'll be able to afford enough to pay for the settlement fee.

(Korea Martial Arts Association)

Hello?

Yes, I'm Officer Jung Ba Reum.

Hello, sir.

Do you still happen to have Na Chi Kook's finger...

the never got stitched back?

It's probably at the hospital.

I thought it might contain the culprit's DNA,

so I asked them to keep it safe.

The team that preserves evidence wants the finger...

saying it's also considered a piece of evidence.

I'll check right away.

Mr. Sung.

Do you know Dr. Daniel Lee?

Who doesn't know him?

So you don't know him personally?

Wait. 010...

Answer the phone.

It turns out he called this number.

Someone did call me by mistake.

So he called you by mistake, and you talked to him...

for 3 minutes and 23 seconds?

I thought I hung up right away.

But I guess I didn't.

If you're done, I'm going to go now.

What did you do on Monday?

I was here to talk to you regarding Na Chi Kook,

but you weren't here.

I wasn't feeling well, so I couldn't come to work.

I'm still on a leave.

- What about Sunday evening? - I said I wasn't feeling well.

What would I have done?

I was at home resting.

Do you have an alibi?

Why are you doing this?

Dr. Lee is missing.

And we think he was murdered.

I was with a friend.

Can you tell me your friend's name and contact number?

You can write it down on the left.

If you have any more questions, I'd like to receive a subpoena.

Mr. Sung.

Mr. Sung.

(Kim Joon Sung)

Thank you for keeping it safe.

What? Something's weird.

Officer Jung.

- Detective Ko. - Where are you off to in a rush?

This isn't Chi Kook's finger.

What?

We went fishing together a week before the incident.

And he hurt his finger with a fish hook.

There should be a scar on his finger, but it wasn't there.

Are you saying this is someone else's finger?

He purposely left another person's finger?

Then where's Na Chi Kook's finger?

I have no idea.

There's a church inside the correctional facility, right?

- Yes. - The cross.

Detective!

Please tell me

What? What's that?

While I'm at it,

let's just clean the place spotlessly.

I should make sure he's pleased.

Then he'll let me keep working here.

Yes, that's right.

Goodness, what a big place.

My goodness.

Is it locked? There's a key here.

How do you open this?

(Junggildaero 6-gil)

Hey, you're back.

So what do you think?

Isn't the place spotless?

My goodness.

Look at the time.

I should go now.

I'll see you.

My goodness.

You forgot to take this.

(Ox bone soup, Ox knee, Boiled beef)

(Gudong 14)

On the 13th of last month, a female was reported missing...

after having disappeared while she went out for a walk.

However, she was found dead...

My goodness gracious.

My goodness, that was frightening.

But I'm doing the right thing.

I should help my grandson-in-law get a good performance record.

My goodness.

Your grandmother slipped in the rain...

and sprained her ankle. You should've seen the swelling.

Who is it for?

- It's for her. - Oh, really?

That one's okay, but what about this one?

- This one? - Yes, that one.

How about this?

You're aware of her age, aren't you?

Keep acting out like this...

and you'll only regret it once she passes.

- It looks nice. Bye. - Be good while she's still alive.

How much is this?

I'll look here.

Officer Jung, what's going on?

I'll explain it later.

What...

What are we looking for?

Father.

Hello, Father.

Officer Jung, let's come back after mass.

Detective. Let's come back later.

We have no time to waste...

Darn it.

What's so important about mass?

- Go. - They killed people!

Those pieces of garbage.

Will praying erase their sins? Will they go to paradise?

How could you say that?

How did I say it?

Please be quiet.

- This won't solve anything. - Detective.

What?

What is this?

Get a ladder.

A ladder. Stat.

"You shall now drink this."

"This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood."

"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out..."

"for the forgiveness of your sins."

- Do this... - Detective?

Detective Ko?

What is it? Is something up there?

(Na Chi Kook)

(Na Chi Kook)

(Gudong Village Entrance)

(Fatso General Store)

(Closed)

It's too dark. I can't see anything.

Hey. Fatso.

Fatso.

Anyone?

He must not be home.

Oh my gosh. Did he follow me all the way here?

Oh no. My gosh.

Is something wrong?

Your friend?

We found Chi Kook's uniform and the weapon.

Really? Did you find anything?

I don't know. They'll let me know once they get the lab results.

(Bong Yi's Grandma)

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the tone.

I need to step outside.

(Fatso General Store)

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am.

Are you in here?

Ma'am?

Ma'am.

Are you in here?

What... Ma'am. Ma'am.

Who are you?

- Oh my gosh! - Who was that?

Oh no.

Who was that?

Is he okay?

- Oh no! - Who is he?

Oh no.

- Oh no. - We need an ambulance.

Please come quickly.

Oh no.

- Is he okay? - A man was hit by a car.

Please hurry.

Please hurry.

Oh no.

(Mouse)

Are you hurt? Why are you sitting there? Get in.

Did something happen in our neighborhood?

That sick psycho.

He takes pictures after killing them?

Just say what I told you to.

I think you're right. Sung Yo Han is shady.

Are you saying this serial killer is an exhibitionist psychopath too?

- We must find out the reason... - Ko Moo Chi.

he chose those victims before the show starts.

Who are you?

(Mouse)

(This drama is purely fictional and is not associated with...)

(actual people, organizations, locations, or incidents.)

(Filming was in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines...)

(and counseling was provided for child actors.)

(CGI was used in most scenes that include animals.)

Officer Jung. Got it.

Press one.

(Mouse)

At times, I go on random hunting trips.

This old lady saw something she shouldn't have...

and ended up as an unexpected target.

Until it takes its last breath,

a prey should fight for dear life.

However, this certain prey lacks the energy to do so.

Which is what makes this hunt too easy...

and boring.

No... No...

My puppy.

(My Bong Yi)

Moo Chi, do you have something?

Not yet.

Here's the friend who'll back up the story...

of Sung Yo Han being home when Daniel Lee went missing.

- Talk to him. - Got it.

There's something off about him.

Kim Joon Sung.

Do you have anything?

No, nothing.

Darn it.

We should've found it before it rained.

What about the finger in the wine?

It belongs to Na Chi Kook.

Who does the other finger belong to then?

Yes, Captain.

Really? Yes, I'm on my way.

- What is it? - We know who the finger belongs to.

Thanks for everything. Did you bring your car?

- Yes. - Come with me.

Up until two years ago, this was a clothing factory...

run by a religious group.

What are you doing here?

What happened?

He's been dead for about 10 days.

No one reported him missing even though he didn't come to work.

What a cruel world, right?

There's something in his throat.

What on earth is that?

I'm not sure. It's heavily decayed.

Homicide reported.

(I saw that scumbag who killed the student on the news.)

(What should I do?)

Got it. Please let me know once Officer Jung is awake.

Darn, I hope he's all right.

What is it?

There's a student over there.

Hey, are you all right? Why are you sitting in the rain?

Can you give me a ride across the bridge?

Sure, hop in.

Gosh, you'll catch a cold.

Thank you.

I just bought this car last week, you know.

Leather seats shouldn't get wet.

Seriously? Are you kidding me?

Why were you sitting in the rain like that?

My grandma hasn't been answering her phone.

So you chose to sit out in the pouring rain?

You should be wiser than that.

- I'll walk from here. - Here?

Just a second. I think I have an umbrella in my trunk.

Thank you.

Take this.

Go home safely.

Don't wander around.

I guess she lives here.

Do you know her?

Let's just go.

That umbrella was a limited edition. They only made 100 of them.

I should've asked her to give it back.

I heard your parents waited 10 years to have you.

I bet they were thrilled without even knowing...

how spoiled you'd turn out to be.

Anyway, I wonder who got killed this time.

Why isn't she picking up?

She must be really angry.

Ma'am.

Did something happen in our neighborhood?

I don't know. We came out as soon as we heard the siren.

Judging by the number of police cars,

I bet it's a murder case.

You've been watching strange things...

ever since you quit the civil service exam.

Your son is going to be the next Alfred Hitchcock.

Don't be like that.

I'm going to go and check out the scene.

You can go without me.

Bye, Bong Yi.

My gosh, I can't believe I was happy to be pregnant with him.

Oh, by the way, did you happen to see my grandma?

No.

Come to think of it, she's not here.

Oh, she must be at the crime scene.

You know how she gets worried whenever something happens in town.

- I should also get going. - Okay.

Go on.

That son of a gun.

He even killed an old lady?

(Forensics)

It looks like she burned her hand.

I think she used her hand to put out the fire.

Why were you holding onto this for dear life?

My goodness, my baby.

Everything will be fine, ma'am.

Sir, this is all my fault.

I'd be glad to die instead. Please save my baby.

What's he doing here?

Darn this.

What? What did you just say?

- Were you talking to me? - Darn it!

What's the matter?

Do you know her?

Why do the innocent always have to die like this?

What's with that crazy jerk?

What happened?

(Do not enter)

- What happened? - What's going on?

Hey.

Sir.

Don't go inside.

Why?

Well...

Can we talk?

- Let me go. - Bong Yi, wait.

Let me go! Let go!

(We will be redeveloping the area thanks to everyone's cooperation.)

Let go.

Let me go! Let go!

That poor thing.

- Wait. Let me... - Let her go.

Let her check if it's her family.

Come this way.

- Stop! - Yes, sir.

You're going to let her see what happened to her grandmother?

- We need to identify the victim... - Move.

Grandma.

What's my grandma doing there?

- Sir. - Get going now.

- Why is my grandma there? - Get going.

- Sir. Sir. - Bong Yi, wait.

Leave already!

- Grandma! - Calm down.

- Grandma. - Just go!

Let me go!

- Bong Yi. - Sir, wait!

Grandma!

Where is he?

What happened?

He needs to relax.

- Get out of my way. - Please leave.

What happened?

It's because of me.

If only I had answered her call...

Pull yourself together. Look at me.

Look at me, you punk.

I want you to tell me every single thing you saw...

so we can catch that jerk. Got it?

Well...

While we were at the correctional facility,

Bong Yi's grandmother called me several times.

But I had no idea. I finally checked at the precinct.

(7 missed calls)

The receiver cannot be reached.

I saw that scumbag who killed the student on the news.

What should I do?

(You've received a voice message from 010-230-0627.)

You have one voice message.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

My goodness, Officer Jung.

I'm too scared to call the police.

I just took the bus, so meet me in front of the general store.

- I have a photo. - Ma'am!

- But the store was closed. - Ma'am.

So I called her right away.

The place was completely empty because it's a redevelopment area.

Ma'am.

- And I suddenly heard her ringtone. - Ma'am?

- I thought it was weird. - Ma'am.

Are you in here?

What... Ma'am. Ma'am.

Did you see his face?

- Who are you? - No, it was too dark.

He just popped out of nowhere.

Anything else? Anything will do. Come on.

Tell me anything that could be a clue.

- He was left-handed. - Left-handed?

I'm... I'm sure of that.

You told me that culprit is also left-handed.

The culprit is left-handed.

The angle of the knife is slanted to the right.

That's only possible when you're left-handed.

He's left-handed for sure.

Anything else?

Is there anything else?

When we rolled down together, he smelled of something.

He smelled of something?

What did you smell?

Mint. He smelled like mint.

What brings you here without calling?

I was at Moojin for a flower exhibition.

The new housekeeper must be good.

There isn't a speck of dust anywhere.

Stop sending them. I don't like having strangers in my house.

You haven't eaten yet, right?

Make sure to eat on time.

I put your clothes in the wash.

You must've had an urgent patient when you were leaving.

Why did you go into emergency medicine...

of all specialties that you're always covered in blood?

That's a nice scent.

You don't usually use products with scents.

You must be seeing someone.

Are you considering marriage?

Good. I want grandkids as soon as possible.

I'll raise them.

Just the thought is frightening.

What?

Han Seo Joon's grandchild?

Yo Han.

Have you seen that granny today?

Did she say or do something out of the ordinary?

She got into an argument with her granddaughter, so she was upset.

Other than that...

She didn't say where she was going?

I think she said she was going home.

What's this "I think" garbage? Think hard, you punk!

Don't answer carelessly!

What are you doing? He's hurt.

I'm asking some questions to investigate...

Hello.

He must be moved into a single for witness protection.

Take care of yourself. I'll be back.

A woman in her 70s was found tonight...

stabbed to death with multiple stab wounds...

in a vacant house in Gudong Village, a redevelopment district.

The police believe...

this was committed by the recent serial killer.

The body of a person presumed to be another victim...

was found 10 days after he died in an abandoned factory...

operated by a religious organization.

Thus, there have been six victims killed by the serial killer.

Monsters like you need to die.

You monster.

I shouldn't have given birth to you.

I never should've given birth to you.

How will I pay for all these sins?

The officer who was hit by a car while chasing the killer...

is being treated at a hospital.

I'm sorry, Auntie, Uncle.

You wanted to be a cop which doesn't befit you.

Honey, I'll stay here tonight.

Okay. Do that.

It's okay. Dong Koo is going to stay with me tonight.

I'm fine, so go home.

Okay. I'll come early in the morning.

What shall I make for dinner?

Did he get hurt? He isn't the type to wear a character bandage.

(No Visitors: Please cooperate for the patient's fast recovery.)

- You can't go in. - Out of my way.

- You can't go in! - Get out of my way!

- Hey. - Let go!

Let go!

You moron. You call yourself a cop?

- You need to go... - Get off!

Why? Why?

Why didn't you answer Grandma's phone?

Why didn't you answer your phone?

It's your fault Grandma died.

It's your fault Grandma... Let go of me.

Find him.

Find the scumbag...

who killed my grandma, you jerk!

Bring... Bring my grandma back. I'm begging you.

Please.

Bring Grandma back.

Bring my grandma back!

My... My grandma!

My... My grandma!

The Head Hunter nightmare from 25 years ago...

is being revived now.

It has been 2 months during which the serial killer killed 6 victims,

but the police still don't know anything about the killer.

Thus, the people are scared and distrusting of them.

I've seen this before.

I was on my way to church at dawn, and I saw a big flash.

A flash? A camera flash.

(Photo 2)

That sick psycho.

He kills people and takes their pictures?

Where did this granny get this?

There are no surveillance cameras?

This is a very old district that's being redeveloped.

Everyone moved out. Only a few families still live here.

Then check the dash cams of all the cars that were here.

Check everything that caught the granny.

None of the remaining residents own cars.

It's a dead neighborhood, so outsiders rarely come.

Her. This granny.

Where did she get on?

Hey.

Check the surveillance videos from every subway...

and bus stop by Gudong Station.

Anything that has the granny on it.

I'm sure there's at least one.

I see.

Hey, Officer Jung!

Detective.

What are you doing here?

Looking for Granny's killer.

Did you go to the bus company too?

In your condition? Go back.

I have to find him.

That camera may have caught something. I'm going to check.

Hey! Officer Jung!

(Motel)

Where could she have been headed?

(Appliances and Electronics)

I get that this is an old building,

but how can they not have one security camera?

I'll take a look around, so head back to the hospital.

She died because of me.

I'm going to catch him no matter what.

Hello, I'm with the police.

Is there a security camera around here?

Then perhaps...

No, I haven't seen her.

Excuse me, I'm with the police.

I don't recognize her.

Hello.

I'm with the police.

I don't recall.

(Housekeeping Land)

Welcome.

Hello, I'm with the police.

Oh, yes.

Did this old lady visit this facility yesterday?

What is this about?

Have you heard about the homicide that took place last night?

Yes.

Wait. Is she the victim?

The security cameras show that she entered this alley.

She didn't come by though.

Please call the police...

if anyone who comes by recognizes this lady.

Tell me about it.

It's not like I can report the theft of yogurts.

Excuse me. I...

Who was that just now?

Remember the news about a murder in the neighborhood?

They came by to ask if that old lady came by.

Really?

I see.

Wait. This lady...

- Is it this lady? - Yes. Why do you ask?

- She's the one who took the drinks! - What?

- My gosh. I should call the police. - Are you crazy?

What if it leads them to discover how we hire illegal immigrants?

Darn it. Just stay put.

Let's not make a mess of things.

- But someone died! - Shut it!

Would you rather we close shop instead?

Okay, fine.

Get in. I'll take you to the hospital.

What is it?

Oh, it's nothing.

It's messy, isn't it?

Ignore the mess.

Sure.

How sweet of you to help out despite the injured arm.

Thank you so much for coming.

Gosh. She did want him as a grandson-in-law, right.

- It's as if he is. - Thank you for coming.

He took care of the whole funeral...

even when he got injured himself.

I feel terrible for Bong Yi.

It doesn't seem like she has other family.

The alley has already been canvassed,

but we could've missed something.

Team One will visit the offices here.

Team Two will canvass the adjacent areas.

And Team Three will spread out to even the street across.

- Move! - Got it.

Please rewind that footage down below.

Sure.

I heard you found a place to bury her.

I wouldn't have minded a cremation.

This must've cost you quite a lot.

I...

scattered my parents' ashes in the sea,

so I have nowhere to go when I want to mourn.

You were worried...

that I'd have nowhere to go...

whenever I missed my grandma.

Your grandma doesn't drink though.

You're wrong.

She...

loved to drink makgeolli.

What...

What I last said...

to her...

was something...

I should've never said.

I'm like this because I listen to you too well.

What... What was that?

If I didn't listen to you,

I wouldn't have gone out to buy your makgeolli.

Then that would never have...

Grandma...

Thinking about what I said to her drives me crazy with guilt.

Grandma...

Grandma, I was wrong.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Grandma, I'm so sorry.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

There's no need to worry.

I asked Dong Koo...

to feed it every day.

You should get some sleep.

Let your mind go blank.

Go on and get some rest.

On your own though?

I like boiled pork too, you know!

What should I make for dinner?

- I don't want to eat. - You'd better eat.

Tell me what you want to eat.

What? Should I make...

- Pork... - I don't want to eat.

Wait. Bong Yi, it's spoiled.

What do you think you're doing?

Bong Yi, it's gone bad!

Stop it, Bong Yi.

Stop eating.

No, don't eat that.

Let go.

Goodness.

My poor puppy.

What now?

My poor little puppy.

Grandma.

Grandma...

My grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Don't worry.

I have someone to protect me.

No, not this.

- Hey. - My gosh.

Did you find anything?

- No, not yet. - I even let you carry out a search.

What?

You let him carry out a search even though he got suspended?

Gosh, cut it out.

Did you check the list of visitors at the correctional facility?

Yes. I checked the list of people who entered the facility that day,

- but there was no one suspicious. - Are you sure?

Did you check everyone?

Didn't you leave anyone out?

If you don't trust me, why don't you check yourself?

I just asked if you didn't leave anyone out!

Gosh, what's with you two?

You guys used to be best friends.

Hey.

What? CCTV footage? Did you see the granny?

Send it to me right now.

Do you have something?

(Here's the CCTV footage you requested.)

Police. By any chance, did you see this old lady?

- No, I haven't seen her. - No.

Excuse me. I'm with the police.

Have you ever seen this old lady?

No, I don't know her.

Hey, Yo Han. A cop came to see me. What should I do?

Just say what I told you to.

Are you Mr. Kim Joon Sung?

I have a few questions for you.

- Do you know Sung Yo Han? - Yes, he's my friend.

Where were you last Sunday evening until dawn?

Last Sunday evening?

Yo Han wasn't feeling well, so I went over to his place.

He wasn't feeling well?

Where's my cell phone?

I must've left it in my car again.

I'm sorry, but can I borrow your phone?

Sure.

Thank you.

Gosh, this is the latest edition.

I heard this is really good.

(Call logs)

(Sung Yo Han)

Is he gone? Did you tell him what I told you to?

He isn't picking up.

Maybe it's because it's the latest edition,

but even the dial tone sounds amazing.

If I have any other questions, I'll give you another call.

Hey, Yo Han.

No, I never called.

Sir, I think you're right.

Sung Yo Han is shady. What should we do?

What do you think? Check Sung Yo Han's dashcam.

See where he was at that hour.

That's illegal.

If I cause trouble, my dad's political career will end.

He's going to run for presidency next year.

Is that so? Then don't ask me. I don't have a dad like yours.

I need to go now. I'm busy doing an illegal investigation.

This is the police.

Have you seen this old lady?

Police.

Have you ever seen this old lady?

I'm with the police.

- Have you seen this old lady? - Her?

- What is it? - Where are you? I need you here.

- I'm busy. - Get over here right now!

My gosh.

I'm so busy investigating that I didn't even get to eat.

But he's always telling me to come and go.

What? Why me?

Everyone is interested in what you have to say...

because the murderer asked you to find him.

The entire country is waiting for you to say something.

But I got dismissed.

I'm waiting for an assignment.

The captain should be the one reporting the investigation.

You can't ask a mere detective to do that.

I didn't take you to be such a shameful guy.

What else can I do? It's the commissioner's orders.

Do you want to get fired for disobeying him?

Why did you have to say it's a serial murder case on TV...

and end up becoming the murderer's target?

We still have enough time until 8pm.

Wait here and have your speech ready.

Don't even think of going anywhere.

- I didn't even get to eat. - I'll bring you food.

Han Kook!

Ma'am, after you take a break,

you can go on one more ride before we do an interview.

- Mom. - Yes?

Can you buy me that? The Goat Man bread.

I'm hungry.

Can you wait a bit? Those guys from the broadcasting station...

are going to buy us a meal.

Ma'am, can you come here for a second?

Oh, okay.

Stay here. I'll be right back.

Today at around 3pm, Kim Han Kook,

the child who made everyone cry on "Hope for Children",

suddenly went missing at an amusement park during a shoot.

Moo Chi, wake up.

Wake up, Moo Chi.

You just need to read this out loud.

The public sentiment is bad these days.

Don't get angry even if the reporters provoke you.

Look at your hair. I guess you got some good sleep.

Don't make any mistakes. This is going to be live.

- Do you understand? - Yes, I get it.

I'm hungry.

Oh, here you go.

Thankfully, in regards to the murder case of last victim,

the lady in her 70s who was murdered in Gudong Village,

we managed to secure a witness statement and CCTV footage.

And we're doing our best to investigate what happened.

Because of the victims' possessions found in the greenhouse...

with the body of the college student,

we've determined these murders to be a serial murder...

and are investigating accordingly.

Given the seriousness of the cases, we the police are investigating...

the killer's motive, relationship with the victims,

possibility of an accomplice or someone aiding and abetting him.

We are investigating from various angles.

We can't disclose anything more since the case is ongoing.

We will not have a separate question and answer session...

after this briefing.

We will do our best...

to catch the killer quickly for the safety of the people.

That will be all.

There were 6 victims in 2 months.

What have the police been doing?

Were you just ignoring it?

I can't answer any questions about an ongoing investigation.

I heard the killer left you a message at the scene...

with the college student's body.

Why did he choose you specifically?

Ask him yourself.

I want to know too.

You said they were the psychopath's random killings.

Do you still stand by that statement?

You said there were six victims.

Weren't there seven?

There's a tip that the same person attempted to kill the prison guard.

- We're still investigating... - He broke into the prison...

and attempted to kill a guard. How is that random?

Are you certain that there is no connection between the victims?

Perhaps you're barking up the wrong tree.

We've investigated thoroughly.

There was not a single connection between the victims.

Are the victims...

What is it?

What if there was a standard for choosing the victims?

(Bingo!)

(Bingo, Detective Ko Moo Chi. Kudos to you. Enjoy my gift.)

(Restricted Number)

Who are you?

You really are good.

You were wrong once, but that's still pretty good.

What?

- Then... - That's right.

There is a standard by which I choose my victims.

So why did I choose that kid?

- What? - Why will that kid die?

What did that kid do wrong?

- You... - I liked your briefing.

What show was it when you yapped about it being random?

Figure out the reason I killed the kid and announce it there.

Don't go on air drunk this time.

Take this seriously.

A person's life is at stake.

What? You psycho jerk.

If you don't get the answer right, I'll kill the kid...

exactly when the show ends with the world watching.

- I promise you. - Hello...

Who's the psycho?

- What did he say? - Who is it?

- Who is it? - Did he tell you about the murders?

- Detective! - Did you talk to the killer?

That's right. There is a standard by which I choose my victims.

So why did I choose that kid?

Why will that kid die?

What did that kid do wrong?

Who is this rat planning to kill?

My gosh. What a mess.

A serial killer.

A kidnapper. Gosh.

He came to Korea to find his father.

As his story came to light, donations poured in.

The police did not find any clues at the scene.

- The police... - No.

So why did I choose that kid?

Why will that kid die?

What did that kid do wrong?

The kidnapper called the mom in Korea...

and demanded a ransom for his life.

This is a standard kidnapping. They're after money.

But wait. A ransom for his life?

Don't they usually say ransom for their return?

That's true. But the kidnapper said it was for his life.

How much did he demand?

He didn't say the amount yet.

Did you record the call?

Have the money ready by 11pm Friday in exchange for his life.

If not, Han Kook dies.

By 11pm Friday.

You like being on TV, right?

What show was it when you yapped about it being random?

Exactly when the show ends...

- By 11pm Friday... - 11pm Friday.

It's when "Sherlock Hong Ju" ends.

Would it help the investigation to do the show as he demands?

Saving the child is top priority right now, Commissioner.

I don't know. Do you think he's still alive?

He's definitely alive.

It's much more useful...

for him to be alive so that he can show off.

"Bind. Torture. Kill."

He named himself the "BTK Killer" because he binded,

tortured, and then killed his victims.

He began in 1974 when he murdered an entire family of four,

and murdered at least 10 people over 30 years.

He also sent letters and victims' belongings to the media...

as if to taunt the police.

A common trait of psychopath serial killers is...

they want to brag about their cruel crimes.

They want to announce who they are.

They are exhibitionists.

We must do the show in order to catch him.

BTK, a civil servant who hid his identity flawlessly,

was captured after 30 years because of the letter he sent...

to the media and police.

He left his DNA on that letter.

He left his DNA on the letter?

It wasn't intentional. He was drunk on exhibitionism and made a mistake.

That's right. Dr. Daniel Lee told me while preparing for the last show...

that psychopaths like this get so arrogant...

that they make ridiculous mistakes.

Yes. That's how the Head Hunter Han Seo Joon was caught.

He murdered over 20 people in a year...

and didn't leave a single clue, let alone a witness.

But he mistook a family of four in an RV...

as a family of three.

He didn't kill the youngest and ended up getting caught.

He was also overcome with arrogance and made a crucial mistake.

(Sent a letter to a TV station saying he wants attention.)

Look.

(Bingo, Detective Ko Moo Chi. Kudos to you. Enjoy my gift.)

His exhibitionism is at its max.

If I take the stage and lure him as he wants,

he may be caught easily.

Then he'll make a critical mistake.

He dreams of a theatrical crime,

but we will conduct a theatrical investigation.

And if we take the stage,

we may obtain new information about him...

that we could not find before.

That is why this show will be of big help to the investigation.

Anyway. Can you find the answer?

You have only four days left.

I promise I'll find it.

If we say we'll do the show because the killer demanded it,

people will criticize us.

That's why...

we must prepare for it under the strictest of confidence.

Please trust me on this, Commissioner.

Chief.

Fine. Let's do it.

The police commissioner and the current events chief.

And Detective Kang.

- What is it? - What?

Don't play dumb.

Why did OBN's current events chief come all the way here?

With the police commissioner too. They both looked quite serious.

Do you think I'm your inside man?

Find out for yourself!

Darn it. Detective Kang!

(Yoo Won Chul: I finished editing. Take a look please.)

("Sherlock Hong Ju")

There were seven victims.

Excluding Song Soo Ho, who was killed out of rage.

The Gudong granny took a picture from him,

so he probably killed her to protect his identity. Out.

I had said the remaining five were killed randomly,

but it was not random.

We must figure out the reason he chose them...

before the show begins.

Let's talk to their friends and families again.

We'll find a similarity if we keep looking.

How long have you known Na Chi Kook?

We've been friends since 10th grade.

Then you must know him well.

Tell me about him.

Anything is fine. Anything you can think of.

Why do you ask?

Is this related to catching the killer?

- Well... - Ba Reum.

Detective, you have to watch the news.

We will play the phone call...

between Detective Ko Moo Chi and the killer again.

We'll play it in full without editing.

Why will that kid die?

What did that kid do wrong?

You like being on TV, right?

What show was it when you yapped about it being random?

Figure out the reason I killed the kid and announce it there.

Don't go on air drunk this time. Take this seriously.

Darn it.

The shocking revelation continues.

The special task force team...

is secretly putting together a special episode for him.

Is it truly the best course of action...

for the police to give in to the killer's request?

What do you make of this?

- Is the phone call authentic? - Will the special episode happen?

Is it true that you're giving in to the killer's request?

- Please say something. - Detective!

- Detective, any words? - Please say a few words.

- Is it true? - Detective!

- Detective! - Tell us the truth.

- What's the truth? - Is this true?

- Please say a few words. - Detective!

Ko Moo Chi.

Do you remember me?

Did you see his face?

Tell me! Did you see his face?

No, I don't.

Don't go through with the show.

Lieutenant Park Doo Suk.

Why do you think I'm still at this good-for-nothing job?

Han Seo Joon.

I'm waiting for the day to kill him with my own hands.

The one who killed my parents.

The one who killed your children.

In order to get behind the same walls,

I must kill a psychopath who's at least as sick as him.

Everyone else can be against it, but not you.

Han Seo Joon?

Do you know why he killed my children?

Because I didn't take him seriously enough.

I also went on TV...

and got cheeky with him.

Don't make the same mistake.

From what I can tell, you're not dealing with a human being.

He's a monster.

He's as equally sick as Han Seo Joon if not worse.

Is that so? I'm glad then.

It wouldn't be as fun if he weren't.

Don't you get what I'm saying?

You may lose what you cherish the most!

What I cherish the most?

I lost that already when I was eight.

You witnessed that.

I have nothing more to lose.

The killer set the bait and the police bit it.

A kidnapper can ask for a ransom,

but it'll never be considered.

The killer kidnapped a boy...

and then told the police to figure out why he kills...

and reveal the reason on camera.

We should not condone...

the police's decision to give into him.

But there's no other option.

The killer wants the police to reveal it on air.

Who can guarantee that they'll find the answer?

Naming the wrong reason on air might endanger the child more.

What can matter more than a person's life?

The police must figure out the right answer...

so that they can save the boy's life.

So the police should take a psychopath's word...

and solve the quiz on camera like some game show?

Is this the best our country can do...

to save the boy's life?

The show must not be aired.

- Don't air the show! - Don't air the show!

The Commissioner General is putting a stop to the operation.

- But... - I'm sure you're aware of this,

but the public is outraged.

If we go through with the show and the boy dies,

we'll be done for.

Moo Chi, I know where you stand with this,

but we'll find another way.

(Moojin Serial Murder)

(Letter of Resignation)

What on earth is this?

You'll just resign?

After everything I did to cover for you?

Happy now?

Detective, please say a few words!

- Detective... - Please say a few words!

- Any words? - Please share your thoughts!

- Any words? - Detective!

- How's the case coming along? - Sir!

- Is the boy alive? - Detective, please!

- Is Han Kook alive? - Please say a few words.

What do you know about the boy's state?

How will you proceed?

- Detective! - The special task force...

will locate Han Kook another way.

- Detective! - Buy Han Kook...

- Is he alive? - Detective!

The patient here was discharged this morning.

The doctor was adamant about him staying,

but he wouldn't hear it.

(Patient: Jung Ba Reum)

(356-4, Gudong-ro, Bukyeong-gu, Moojin)

(356-4, Gudong-ro)

Welcome.

It was quite the walk, right? Come on in.

What's up?

I think they won't let us air the episode.

(Moojin Serial Murder)

Excuse me, Detective.

What brings you by?

Ma'am?

Sir...

Sir, please do that show he asked.

My boy... Please save my boy.

I'll do everything you ask.

I'll do what you ask, so please.

- Did you bring her here? - Please...

I came to ask you the same thing.

Please don't give up.

Chi Kook and Bong Yi's grandmother.

We must catch who hurt them.

Escort her home.

Detective! Sir, please.

- Please. - Ma'am, please get up.

This isn't helping.

Please save my boy.

Please save my boy's life.

- Please. - Let's do it, Detective Ko.

Let's do it. I'll persuade my chief in any way I can.

Let's give this a shot.

Gosh, thank you.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Ma'am, please stand.

Please. Please...

Detective Ko.

Please, Detective.

We can't do it here though. We'll be forced to pack up.

Where could we do it?

Welcome.

Over here.

- Here. - We're good.

Wait.

Don't you remember me?

- Sorry? - I was the one who interviewed you.

For what?

My first interview as a probie was with a high school student...

who was awarded the Citizen Hero Award.

That student was Officer Jung!

He made me sweat by refusing the interview though.

He said it was his friend who did all the work...

all throughout the interview.

The one you interviewed was Chi Kook.

What? It was Prison Guard Na?

I saw how he gave me credit in the interview.

He's like that, you see.

He's more modest than one needs to be.

Right.

That friend we helped though.

I saw that friend recently.

Where?

- Well... - We already wasted two days.

We only have a day until the broadcast. Let's hurry.

Come on.

Here.

(Killing method, Modus operandi)

(Moojin Serial Murder Case)

The places of murder and victims' ages are all different.

What could be the common feature?

What made him choose these people as victims?

What is it, Detective?

Hey, it's me.

Did you check what came out of Park Jung Ho's throat?

An insect?

Hey, Father Ko.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

The neighborhood feels so empty now that you're gone.

How is the church there? I bet it's really nice.

I still miss Gudong.

I'll be back next week to take some more of my stuff.

I'll be able to see you again then.

What's all that?

I made japchae and some other stuff.

You should eat it with everyone.

This is a lot of japchae.

Moo Chi loved japchae ever since he was little.

I made enough so you can eat it for a while.

I didn't add carrots though.

Moo Chi hates carrots.

Don't tell him I made it.

If he finds out, he won't eat it.

Okay.

Officer Jung.

Please take good care of Moo Chi.

There was nothing special about Byun Soon Young.

We found an insect inside Park Jung Ho's mouth.

Na Chi Kook was found without his clothes on.

The homeless guy was found with an axe.

Jo Mi Jung's body was found at a vineyard.

Officer Jung, did you make this?

Yes.

- It's so good. - It's delicious.

Thank you.

Listen. You don't seem...

so fit for the job. Why don't you quit and be a chef?

I'll think about it.

You're all done, right?

We're not getting anywhere here.

Let's meet the victims' acquaintances.

- Will you be okay? - Of course.

I really think you should stay home.

I'm fine.

I'm Detective Ko Moo Chi.

Byun Soon Young. She was in her early 30s.

She worked as a cook at a bar.

Park Jung Ho. He was in his mid 20s.

A temporary factory employee.

I don't know anything.

Do you know him by any chance?

Mr. Kim. Estimated to have been in his 50s.

He was homeless, so we don't know his exact identity.

Jo Mi Jung. A college student in her early 20s.

Worked as a eating-show YouTuber.

Na Chi Kook. In his mid 20s.

A guard at Moojin Prison.

The only survivor and currently unconscious.

You know what?

The connection between these people never mattered.

I need to figure out the standard that made him pick these victims.

I need to think in his shoes.

In his shoes.

His standard for picking his victims.

("Sherlock Hong Ju")

We have five seconds before the show.

3, 2, 1.

Cue.

("Sherlock Hong Ju")

(Please organize your left shirt collar.)

I'm Choi Hong Ju, the director of "Sherlock Hong Ju".

We were supposed to do a show on illegal diet pills...

like we announced on last week's show.

But today, we'll be doing an urgent live show.

I'm sure you all know about the phone call that was made...

by the serial killer.

The killer requested a live show using the boy's life as collateral.

Many people were against it,

and we were also on the verge of canceling the show.

But Han Kook's mother desperately asked us to do the show,

and we couldn't reject her desperate request.

So we decided to participate in the killer's show.

Here's Detective Ko, the man that was chosen for this challenge.

It looks like he's been dead for about 3 to 4 days.

The 28th?

8:10pm on the 28th?

That's when Detective Ko announced the investigation report.

Does that mean he killed Kim Joon Sung...

and called Detective Ko here?

Let me ask you straightforwardly, Detective Ko.

Did you find the answer?

Can we save Han Kook?

Let me ask you again.

Did you find the answer?

Yes, I did.

Then tell us why...

the culprit chose to kill the victims.

Before I tell the answer,

I need to check something first.

You're watching this, right?

You asked me to figure out why you chose these victims.

If you want to hear the answer,

I need to check if you're the guy who called...

and asked me to come out on the show.

Prove to me that Han Kook is still alive.

That's the only way it'll be fair.

You know my number, right?

Then I'll tell you exactly why you chose those people as victims.

(Mouse)

The only reason I'm doing this show is because I want to save Han Kook.

This show is the only way we can save him.

Apparently, we just received something...

from the culprit.

If you are underage or feeble-minded,

I advise you to stop watching.

Na Chi Kook.

It's not Na Chi Kook.

I figured out the common feature of the victims.

Just show yourself, you punk.

(Officer Jung Ba Reum)

You're no deity. You're not even human.

You're a monster who can never be saved.

We received a tipoff saying someone saw Han Kook.

Let me go. Let go of me.

Turn it off right now, you crazy jerk!

It's sad that you don't believe me.

Well? Do you believe me now?

Do you think I won't be able to do it?

I want to fly high at least once before I die.

I don't get why you suddenly want to learn ballet now.

Just trust yourself and do it.

You can do it, Grandpa.

("Navillera" premiers at 9pm Monday on March 22.)
