"My sweet Yeo-ok."

Fuck, I'm dizzy.

I'm so fucking into that tall dude.

He's so damn hot, my fucking God!

What the hell is she saying?

Hey, aren't you guys cold?

Just stop fooling around
and fucking stay still!

You know, I…

What the fuck is with her?

So I asked the tall dude for his number,
but he gave me the short dude's number.

But the short guy is fucking cute too.

He's small and cute.
He makes you want to hug him.

Yeo-ok, would you listen to me?

- Fuck.
- No.

Bitch, there's gas.

Shut up, bitch.
Stop nagging, for fuck's sake.

Hey.

Hey. The cigarette…

Don't fucking light it.

"My poor Yeo-ok."

"She did nothing wrong."

"She was just unlucky."

"She just made some bad friends."

That's what my aunt always said.

Well,

at least that's what she believed.

Goodness.

My head.

Honey, don't you smell something?

Come on. Wake up.

What are you doing up at this hour?

What's this smell?

Damn. You ruined everything, Mom.

Yeo-ok.

The police said

that she had signed up her parents
for eight life insurance policies.

It wasn't her disability or poverty.

It was her nature and vanity.

I know people have been saying

we should give her our condolences
since she paid with her own life,

but I have no intention of doing so.

Death should not exonerate any sin
that wasn't repented for.

So, please, don't give her
your condolences.

A KILLER PARADOX

MY COUSIN IS SEON YEO-OK,
THE BLIND WOMAN WHO KILLED HER PARENTS

STAYING NEUTRAL TILL THIS IS VERIFIED
I HEARD SHE WASN'T QUALIFIED FOR THE DOG

Crazy, right?

I guess karma does exist.

- Hey, Jae-sun.
- Yes?

- Come here for a second.
- Why?

Some detectives are here to see you.

Let Ui-seob take care of it,
and come with me.

Yes.

I did write that post.

Why do you ask?

Does it make you think I killed her?

No, not at all.

We just had some questions
regarding your cousin,

the late Ms. Seon Yeo-ok.

- When was the last time you talked to...
- No.

We didn't keep in touch.

When did you last meet her?

Well, it's been so long

that I don't remember.

Could you give us a rough estimate,
like how many years ago it was?

When Yeo-ok was in elementary school…

she poured boiling water on my face.

Do you know why she did that?

Yes, I read your post.

You touched her things without asking.

No, it was because
she just fucking wanted to.

It was just an excuse to try to kill me.
She's just…

She was smiling when she did it.

She was smiling when she poured
that boiling water on my face, Detective.

If you were me,
would you want to remember her?

You can get back to work now.

- Thank you for your time.
- All right, then.

- Have a safe drive.
- Thank you.

Right, the seeing-eye dog we mentioned.

I'll contact you one final time
when we find him.

No.

It's none of my business.

No need to let me know.

Goodness.

- Congratulations on your new life, sir!
- Congratulations!

You got so lucky, Chung-jin.

I never thought this could happen
just walking down the street.

- My man Chung-jin.
- Yes, sir.

You finally have a badge of honor.
How do you feel?

- How did it feel? Did it hurt?
- Of course it did!

- This is embarrassing.
- Come on, say something.

Well, no one's been stabbed before, right?

I almost died last year.

Nah, you were nowhere close to death.
I was much closer.

The soju bottle was this big,

and then he just stabbed me with it.

You can't even feel the pain
in that moment.

The moment I got stabbed, I thought,
"I ought to catch this bastard."

No, seriously.

I turned, but then I started leaking.

Here we go again!

Seriously, the blood was gushing out.

That's when I knew,
"Hey, something's wrong."

It felt like the blood from my brain
was also being drained out.

Maybe it was anemia.

Come on, it's not that bad.

- Come on, I'm serious.
- Oh, you're exaggerating.

When have you ever been stabbed?

So, who killed those guys?

Who knows?

It's been a weird couple of days.

I know. It's so strange.

Anyway, you should go back to the hospital
and take the time to think about it.

What a waste of all those years.

It's not just this incident.

The doctor says I might drop dead one day
if I keep working like this.

I'm not cut out to be a detective.

But with the work I've been doing,
I don't want to be on the night shift.

Hey, you got a better job in mind?

We all carry around
a resignation letter in our hearts.

Do you even have a job lined up
for after you...

Hey, come on in.

Hey.

As I was saying,
do you have anything to do after you quit?

You know my wife runs a hair salon, right?

We've considered
moving abroad on a Skilled Worker visa

for the last three years.

We even put the salon up for sale.

On top of that, I have my severance pay.

I can't rely on my wife to make ends meet,

so I'll learn how to make sashimi.

And I'll change my name to James Park.

Yeah, I've had my share
of living away from family,

and it's not a great way to live.

I should've gone with them
and become Oliver Park or something.

I feel like I can't even talk to my kids.

My baby was a shy boy.
He has never harmed anyone!

What do you know?

- Will you catch the killer or not?
- You are obstructing justice.

- Oh, really? Am I now?
- Ma'am. Please calm down. No, you aren't.

- Did you catch the murderer?
- I'll call again when you're calm.

- Would you say that if it were your kid?
- Can someone come and escort her?

My poor kid even had to get an autopsy…

Are you okay, sir?

You try getting slapped.

Sir.

What?

It pisses me off, too,
when I think of Detective Park.

And?

But don't you think
you were too harsh with the victim's mom?

What do you mean?

I mean, think about it. Her kid died.

If I were her,
I would've lost my mind already.

It's a murder,
and there's no evidence at all.

That's not true.
We just haven't uncovered any yet.

All murders have evidence.

Well, you know
that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry.

Listen.

Victims can be assailants too.

Okay?

You know what I mean?

There was a case I worked on
in Dunsan Station.

Her name was Kang Yeon-seo.

I still remember it.

- What are you doing?
- I'm drawing your eyebrows.

Can you just please wear makeup?

- You look so good with it.
- Fine.

Hey, that's him.

He looked better in the picture.

- This will look good on him, right?
- Sure.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know. She has a crush.

She said he's a total hottie,
but he's average.

- What? You didn't have to.
- What is it?

- How have you been?
- Good.

- What's this?
- What are you doing after class?

What is it, dude?

Hey, it's mine!

I'm not done yet.

- Are those your friends?
- Yes.

What is it?

- Come on.
- Hey, it's mine.

One, two, three.

Honey, give me a bigger smile. One, two…

Come on if you're done.

- A happier one.
- Do I look good in it?

- Want to see?
- Let me see.

- Shit.
- Hey, come on!

- Hold the fuck on, asshole.
- Hurry up.

- You just don't know how to fucking wait.
- Come on!

- So? How was it? Huge boobs, right?
- For fuck's sake.

- Her legs are the fucking bomb.
- Aren't they huge?

Just come on.

- But I want to fuck her one more time.
- Stop fucking around. Let's go.

Okay.

A month after she was raped,

she took her own life.

- I just want to talk to him.
- You can do that later.

Sir, can I talk to you for a moment?

- This is a funeral.
- Hold on.

It looks like
we have two different stories. Sir.

- We can talk at the station.
- It's strange that you keep avoiding me.

- Please, ma'am.
- You never know if it was consensual.

You're out of your mind, woman!

Why would you raise your voice?

Lady. Are you even human?

Just how could you do something like this?
Please leave.

- How dare you talk to me like that?
- Let's go out.

- What am I if I'm not human?
- I'm sorry, everyone.

- Everyone. Don't just listen to them.
- Lady.

They may be kids,

but when men and women meet,
things can happen.

- How dare you...
- What?

What the fuck did you just say?

- "Fuck"?
- You're way out of line!

- Consensual?
- She came onto him!

- These things can happen?
- You losers.

- Get out.
- Fuck.

- Looking to make a buck off your kid?
- Goddamn it!

- Like son, like mother. You fucking scum.
- Okay, I see. You're all the same…

There was this bitch
who came to the girl's funeral

and accused the parents
of all sorts of bullshit.

It was that lady we saw earlier.

Okay?

A person died.

But her son got off easy
because he was a minor.

That wasn't the end of it.

Those bastards kept committing assault,
theft, you name it.

I don't exactly know how the parents feel,

but in the eyes of the girl's parents,
those bastards aren't just victims.

I would've killed them myself already
if I were them.

People aren't just assailants or victims.

They can be both at the same time.

Should we visit the girl's parents, then?

What for?

- They might be the assailants...
- Were you not at the scene?

Did it look like
a revenge-driven, premeditated murder?

It just happened on the spot.

But still, you never know.

Yes, it was her. Right, that's her. Yeah.

She was standing there.

She was just standing still
and looking around.

I thought she was a ghost.

But then she didn't come inside the store.

- She just kept looking.
- What time was that?

The night shift was about to start,
so it was around 10:00 p.m.

Ten, yes. Right.

- You have security cameras, right?
- Of course, Detective.

Look over there.

I made an investment
and replaced them with new ones.

The video quality is great.

But because of the good quality,

the files are bigger,
so they only save up to five days...

So, you don't have it?

Well, we have something.

Just nothing older than five days.
We have yesterday's video.

What about him? What's his name?

Who?

Lee Tang. Right.

How is he doing?

Don't even get me started.

Just hearing that fuckin' prick's name
pisses me off.

Just, how dare he stab me in the back?

Right, that door.
It doesn't make the sounds anymore.

- He broke this too, right?
- Yes.

Was he trying to piss me off?
I mean, Detective,

I paid him in advance,
and he stopped coming in.

- Did he?
- Yes.

I can't believe that bastard.

Hold on. Speaking of which,
I think he saw her too. That lady.

Well, does that help in any way?

NICE TO MEET YOU, MR. LEE TANG

Oh fuck.

What was...

Registered mail!

Is nobody home? Why no answer?

My, to what do I owe the honor?

It's Detective Jang,
the busiest man in the world.

Why did you leave so early?

Well, I have things left to do
at the hospital.

You didn't even call
while I was in the hospital.

So, what is it?

You were there for two days.

That's just a long doctor's visit. Right?

Oh, hey.

I heard you quit.

You can't quit
before you catch the killer.

I found something strange
about Seon Yeo-ok's case,

although I need to do more digging.

Jeez, is work all you ever talk about?
God, you're a cold robot.

If the killer falls out of a clear sky,
I'll think about it.

Nothing will fall from the sky
if you stay home.

You have to do at least something.

Whatever, I'm hanging up.
I have to spend time with my family.

I'm sure they don't even want you there.

Drink lots of water
so you don't get bladder stones.

You should think about your health,
not the killer.

Stop changing the subject and...

You came home dressed like that?

It's fine. I wasn't out that long.

Isn't it about time
Dong-u came home from school?

- He went out for a bike ride.
- Oh shit!

Hey, stop throwing things.

Since when did he have a bike?

Didn't Nan-gam tell you?

He sent it to him
as an early birthday present.

He did?

Yes.

Call him and say thanks.

Man, why didn't he tell me?

That sly punk.

ATTENDANCE REQUEST

YOU ARE BEING SUED
FOR FINANCIAL FRAUD BY MR. JUNG GANG-HYO

Shit.

ATTENDANCE REQUEST

Well, he got sued for fraud.

- But he's just a part-timer.
- Right.

So I told him to just file a civil suit,

but he was quite adamant, saying
I was legally required to file the suit.

So I didn't really have a choice.

I was going to try to help them settle,

but the problem is,
he's gone off the radar.

Do you have his address?

His address? Let's see.

I've sent the attendance request.
Let's see, when was that?

Yeah, he should've received it today.

What, do you know him?

Yes.

If you reach him, please let me know.

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Also, let me know if you can't reach him.

Sure. I'll let you know.

Great, thanks.

Turn left on this street.

You have reached your destination.
Ending navigation.

I should've moved a long time ago.

She hated having her picture taken,
but she loved taking pictures of others.

She took pictures
of everyone in her class.

- All of them.
- May I take a look at this, sir?

Sure, go ahead.

This one time,
I told her to just become a photographer.

But she said
she wanted a nine-to-five job.

You know, just work at a decent company
and take pictures as a hobby.

She never stood out.

She kept a low profile.

I'm not just saying this
because she's my kid,

but she was kindhearted

and thoughtful.

That's why I killed them.

Pardon?

I killed them.

I have murdered a pers…

I killed them.

I killed them.

Yes, this is Detective Lee Chang-taek.

Hi. I'd like to turn myself in.

You want to turn yourself in?

What's your name, sir?

Lee Tang.

Oh, Mr. Lee Tang? Hold on.

Let's see.

I guess you received
the attendance request.

This is about you going off the radar
after receiving the advance payment

from Mr. Jung Gang-hyo
of OS25 convenience store.

You're under investigation for this.

Please come to the Detective Division
on the requested date.

Actually,

may I come in today?

Today?

Today… Hold on.

Not seven. Not eight.

Would 9:00 p.m. work for you?

Sure.

CONVENIENCE STORE

MOM

So you hit them with a brick,

but you don't remember
what you did with it afterward?

No.

The two victims were healthy teenagers.

What gave you the confidence
to take them on?

They were

wasted and couldn't even walk straight.

So I thought it was my chance.

How did you know that they were drunk?

Well, they were almost unconscious
and swaying left and right.

I'm sorry for going off on my own.

You brought him in?

You mentioned
his probation earlier, right?

I looked into it, and his probation ended
the day before the incident.

I thought he might be
connected to the case,

so I visited him at his house.

It was all thanks to your guidance, sir.
Thank you.

Boss helped out with the rest.

But seriously, I was so nervous earlier.

Fortunately, he confessed to everything,

and it matches the circum...

Here you go, sir.

You can take your time and fill it out.

Sir, if you'd like a quick break,
how about we go for a smoke?

I quit smoking long ago.

Then why did you lie?

Sorry?

You didn't kill them, did you?

I'm not sure what you're saying.

I'm sure you don't know this
since you didn't kill them,

but one of the victims had
a cigarette burn on his face.

And this.

You're not right-handed either.

With me.

What?

Why did you go in there alone?
What the hell?

I was interrogating him.

You act on your own and bring in a man,
and now you think he's not guilty?

But his statement doesn't add up.
There's no evidence either.

- What do you mean?
- Without evidence...

There's the brick. That wasn't disclosed
to the press. And he has a motive.

If he says he threw the brick
into the Geum River,

are you going to search
the bottom of the river?

No, right?

We don't know if he's an abettor,
accomplice, or a witness.

Let's take our time and figure that out.

I'm doing this because we'll all be fucked
if the real culprit shows up.

Then you should've talked to me
in private.

- Wait, I was just…
- God, you think you're so great?

I apologize for being rash.

But do you really think
he's telling the truth?

He's trying to cover something up,
so we need to find out what it is.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

Fine, Mr. Smart-ass.

You think you're so damn smart, huh?

If this goes wrong, it's on you two.

GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE PART-TIMER
HE'S COMING IN AT 9:00 P.M.

I'm sorry, sir.

I told you not to act rashly.

Didn't I?

You may leave.

What, did I hurt your ego?

No, sir.

- I just have something to tell you.
- What is it?

I informed the victims' mothers
that we now have a suspect.

Which victims?

The dead high schoolers.

What about Mr. Kang Sang-muk?
Did you send him home?

He just left.

There won't be a problem, right?

Let's play.

Play what?

What do you want?

- Tag.
- Tag?

Again? Really?

Yeah?

Wow. You've got my respect, you thug.

I can't believe
you really stabbed that cop.

He pissed me off.
What the fuck was I supposed to do?

You hit that guy
with a fire extinguisher the other time.

I told you not to talk about it.
That was an accident. It just fell on him.

Your mom will settle it
this time too, right?

I don't know.

Why did you have to stab a cop,
you dumbass?!

He was getting on my fucking nerves.
I had to do something!

JUST DO AS YOU PRACTICED
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST

- Sir, are you okay?
- Sir, wake up.

- Can you see me?
- Open the door.

Is he conscious?

- Ma'am.
- Step out of the vehicle.

- His eyes are opening.
- Are you okay?

He's up.

Ma'am. Open the door, ma'am.

Please insert the bills.

CONVENIENCE STORE

MOM

Please insert the bills
and press "confirm."

Thank you for using our services.

Are you okay?

Call 911.

What the fuck is this?

What is it? Let me see.

See, there's money.

What about the rest?

Just throw it away. What else?

Let's go.

They said you got robbed
by a snatch thief. Is that correct?

Yes.

I can't believe
there are bag snatchers these days.

Exactly.

Shit. Like a fucking joke.

Watch your head.

Please press the call button
if you need anything.

We should have escorted you home.

I guess this is what…

being a parent is like.

What are you trying to say?

There must be a reason
you're going to these lengths.

Do you know the killer?

I'm the killer.

Taking the fall for a crime
you didn't commit isn't revenge.

It's not revenge.

I killed them because they deserved it.

Those bastards got what they deserved.

It felt so good.
Like a weight had been lifted.

- Those bastards should've been pulverized.
- Sir.

I understand very well that, in life,

it sometimes occurs
that you want to kill somebody.

But punishment should be carried out
within the boundaries of law.

That's my opinion.

I'll stop by tomorrow.

Let's try moving your arm.

- Is that okay?
- Yes.

Please hold it in place for a moment.
I'll tape it up for you.

- It's stuffy in there, right?
- Oh, it's fine.

I think I can go alone.

Can you manage on your own?

Yes. Thank you.

- I'll see you soon, then.
- Thank you.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT,
I WILL RESPECT YOUR DECISION

AUTO-DELETE TIMER SET TO 3 SECS

Sorry.

- Gosh, are you all right?
- You can't be here.

Go.

- What...
- The police are here.

You need to leave now.

- Do you know me?
- Go now.

- You know me, right?
- Hurry up and go.

Wait, are you that guy from Telegram?

I have a lot to tell you,
but you'll have to check your Telegram.

Yes, you are.
You're the one who brought me home.

There are too many eyes here.
You have to leave. Now.

Sir, I don't care what happens anymore.

But, anyway, why did you do it?

- Were you following me this whole time?
- No.

So, you sent those snatchers
on the motorcycle too?

What motorcycle? No, that wasn't me.

Anyway,

I have so much I want to tell you,
but you'll hear everything on Telegram.

Leave now.

Thank you.

Sure.

Sir!

- Oh my.
- Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

- I'm sorry, sir.
- You did nothing wrong. Stop saying that.

You're just a newbie anyway.

And it's not like
your reasoning was totally wrong.

You were just trying your best
to catch the killer.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Where are you going?

- Hello?
- Hi. Did Lee Tang come in today?

No, he hasn't.

- He hasn't?
- I'll wait a bit.

Okay.

Tell me. What did you do wrong?

Tell me.

Dad.

It's too loud.

Lower the volume or turn it off.

Right. Sorry, Yeon-seo.

You were still up?

And quit smoking. Just look at your face.

Okay. I'll make sure to quit.
Do you want something to eat?

You still need those meds to sleep?

No, I'm okay.

Damn it! You motherfucker.

Fuckin' piece of shit!

You fucking asshole.

Come here, you son of a bitch.

Fuck.

Come here.

You motherfucker.

You fucker!

Fucking son of a bitch!

Motherfucker!

Hello, who's this?

Detective. I'm the nurse
in charge of Mr. Kang Sang-muk.

- Mr. Kang Sang-muk?
- Yes. I think you should hurry over here.

Sorry?

He's being treated in the room over there.

We have to do a blood test
to check his liver and his kidney.

- Checking his vitals, sir.
- How is it looking?

It's 130 over 90.

Let's hurry.

Sir, please wake up.

Sir.

Hero.

Lee Tang!

Keep it down.
You don't want to bother the neighbors.

I know you're inside. Open up.

I won't get angry, so open the door.
I'm here with Mom.

- Go ahead.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

What?

Oh my Lord. Oh my gosh.

Oh dear Lord. This place…

What's this?

Mom, let's call Gyeong-hwan again.

Read this for me.
I think Tang wrote something.

"Dear Mom and Dad."

Do you know which floor she jumped from?

The sixth floor.

She jumped off…

but she didn't die right away.

We got her to the hospital.

And then she suffered

for 16 hours before she died.

I just can't…

It's all my fault.

She died unavenged, in despair.

I'm the one who should die.

Excuse me, I got carried away.

Those bastards…

who did that to my daughter…

I really want to kill them if I could.

But there's nothing I can do.

Sir.

I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I think there might be a way.

What?
