When we flipped the barcodes horizontally...

we realized that they're mimicking real barcodes that are usable in real life.

There are 13 numbers in a barcode.

All these barcodes begin with 978, which is used for books.

89, which comes next, means South Korea.

86755 after that denotes the publishing company.

So all these barcodes are describing books from a single publisher in South Korea.

ISBN... International Standard Book Number.

They denote the order of publication of these books.

That order of publication is matching the order of the murders.

The murderer is presenting the victims as books.

The next victim, if there is one, will have this barcode.

978...

89...

86755...

- Then to denote the sixth victim... [Chun Baek Gyung]

06.

If this barcode is real, the check digit in the end will be...

Zero.

There's something that upsets me.

The real ISBNs start from zero, not one.

So are you saying that the first murder should've been zero, not one?

So you're saying that the first murder happened five years ago, not four years ago.

I wonder what kind of monster he is?

I guess the murderer to be highly educated with a high level of self-discipline.

Seeing how he dominated the victims and carried their bodies...

He is probably well-built and strong.

Looking at the shape of the barcodes he left...

I think he's a smart-looking guy who is quite neat.

I really want to look at this punk's face!

Could he be in the publishing industry?

Let's check the publishing company that's represented in those barcodes.

Hello, Mr. Chef. This is Ms. Hong.

I've brought them right at the time you requested.

Yes, I'll come inside then. Okay.

Let's go inside.

With you standing next to our name-brand kitchenware...

so many housewives' hearts will melt!

I beg for your good reviews.

I try to be as honest as possible when it comes to my reviews.

Yes... Of course...

I'm afraid I have to run for a meeting now, Ms. Hong...

Then we'll take your oven, cabinets, kitchen island, and sink right now...

and we'll install everything tomorrow with our brand-new kitchenware!

Please start.

Oh, no! That crystal decanter is very expensive!

You should have been more careful! What will you do now?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chef.

I think you should let them go home for today.

I'd like to have a group of professionals take care of this tomorrow.

Of course. I'll tell the men to leave.

Sure.

So I looked into the publisher that is represented in the barcodes...

It was a publishing company called Geumtoil Publishing.

It was in operation from 1993 to 2000.

It closed in 2000?

What kind of books did they publish?

Everything that would make them money.

Kids, health, cooking, world literature, travel...

Sex life guides for married couples... Sex education textbooks...

Botany, Go... It's very diverse!

Obviously it doesn't exist anymore.

The murderer wouldn't start a publishing company to leave a trace with the murders!

Look into the person who started that publishing company.

Okay.

So far, the only things the murderer left behind were the corpses.

But there was another thing that he left behind with Joo Ma Ri.

Joo Ma Ri's car. This is his big mistake.

Because he left the car that allows us to backtrack his route.

The most urgent thing right now is to figure out how that car got there.

I'm feeling down from all these weird hypotheses...

Let's go out for some barbecue tonight!

Barbecue sounds great!

I think if I go home right now and sleep, I'll see barcodes in my nightmares!

But where is Lieutenant Yeom? Has she left already?

I'm sorry but I have to leave early tonight. I have to run some errands.

Why? You don't like barbecue?

If you don't like it, we can go somewhere else!

- Let's go somewhere else! - Sir!

What?

I think you've been favoring Moo Gak too much lately.

That's nonsense!

That's not it. I'm sorry.

Okay, go ahead.

I do like barbecue.

Are you guys curious how superheroes work out?

Yes!

Then let's take a look right now!

I'm Batman! I clap hard!

I'm Superman! I slap my back!

I'm Spiderman. I hang onto buildings!

Darn it!

Even Spiderman falls from a building sometimes!

Sometimes his spider web doesn't work!

- Hey, Oh Cho Rim... - In Bae...

Hey!

Have you decided to ruin my stage because you can't go on it yourself?

That's not the case.

Then why?

Are you mad because the kids who are younger than you do well on there?

If you can't do this, look for other jobs!

Why are you letting your jealousy out here?

I'm not jealous.

And I won't look for other jobs.

I'll do my best to get on stage the next time.

Hey, before you worry about your future... worry about your current job first!

Officer Choi.

I thought you weren't doing skits anymore. What brings you here, then?

What do you mean?

Oh Cho Rim said you can't do the skits anymore due to personal reasons.

I don't know what kind of trouble you're dealing with...

but back in the day, my brother lost my family fortune to a fraud.

Even then, I still put a flower on my head and did a show about a madman.

That's the life of a comedian.

I'm disappointed in you, Officer Choi.

You should've just helped her out.

He told Cho Rim that she can only go on stage if she does a skit with you.

That's why she's now in the support team instead of the performance team!

Thank you so much! They're very hard to get.

But getting costumes is the job of the support team.

Why are you doing this?

I'm just helping out.

Are we not going to practice?

You don't have to worry about that for a while.

Hello?

One or two. Pick a number.

What are you talking about?

One.

One is spicy pork hock. Let's go eat.

You don't even know where I am right now.

Do you fall even when you walk by yourself?

Officer Choi...

Get in.

I suddenly got a craving for food, but it's awkward to eat by myself.

How does super spicy pork hock sound?

That's the first time I hear you talking about something I love.

Call.

This is so spicy!

This is so spicy, it's making me cry!

Right?

Amazing!

Why? What's the matter?

Nothing. Eat up.

This is way too spicy.

So if option one was this, what was option two?

Spicy pork hock.

So I was agonizing over nothing!

But how come you crave spicy things? You can't taste.

Then why do people go window shopping even though they won't buy anything?

That kind of feeling...

Let's go if you're done crying.

Okay.

I've cried so much!

Goodbye!

My sinuses feel so clean now!

Oh, no!

Your car has disappeared!

[Towing Notice]

I guess they towed my car while we were eating.

What should we do? When did they take it?

I guess there's no other way.

Let's walk. It's a nice day anyway.

Aren't you worried? You're so calm right now.

How much money is this?

Wait for me.

Why did you do it?

Do what?

Why did you tell your boss that I can't do the skits anymore?

That's...

because I think you're going through a tough time and you can't afford to make others laugh.

You seemed like you were in agony that day when we got drinks.

Do a skit with me.

And do investigations with me too.

As you said, I can protect you.

I will never put you in danger when you're with me.

But the skit must be hilarious.

Is that because you ate something spicy?

No...

I'll get going first. Thanks for walking with me.

[10 p.m.] [Kwon Jae Hee's restaurant]

[At Kwon Jae Hee's house with Chun Baek Gyung's car]

[Hwaseong Fishing Area] [11:50 p.m.]

A golden fish must meet a hermit.

A golden fish must meet a hermit.

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Driver...

So you're almost there?

The car is unlocked and the key is inside.

Your payment is in the visor.

Got it.

[Kwon Jae Hee's restaurant and his car]

He's leaving early today.

Where is he going?

[Sous Chef]

Sir? Are you going somewhere right now?

I just saw your car leaving the garage.

I must stop by my house.

There's a spice that I want to put into my sauce.

I see.

I also turned the oven on about 20 minutes ago.

Please flip the meat inside in another 20 minutes.

Yes, Mr. Chef!

I'll be back in about an hour.

- Sure, drive carefully. - Thanks!

[A highway rest area]

Hello?

I'm the substitute driver. I've arrived.

You have?

I'm still on my way. You can leave the car in the parking lot.

Yes, thank you very much!

Sure.

[12:30 a.m.] [Kwon Jae Hee's restaurant]

Welcome back.

I'll carry these.

It took you exactly 40 minutes!

I wish there was no traffic during the day too!

Others might be suspicious of what we're doing in the middle of the night!

- Others can never find out. - You're right!

You're making a secret recipe after sending all the employees home!

Other can never find out.

Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Hong.

Let's leave my current kitchenware in my house...

I'll come to your showroom and try out your kitchenware there.

Sure.

And please come pick up the truck around 2 p.m. today.

Yes, thank you!

Hello.

Hello, Chef Kwon.

Hi, Cho Rim.

You're here early.

The sous chef told me to come in early today.

He said you were working on a recipe overnight and there's a lot to clean up.

I see.

Did you stay up all night?

You must be very tired. Do you need me to do anything?

Do you know how to brew coffee?

Yes, I do.

Then let's get a cup of coffee together.

Coffee for you, Chef Kwon. I packed it extra for you.

Did you sense something weird when you greeted me before?

Yes, I did a bit.

I often have trouble recognizing people's faces.

Have you ever heard of prosopagnosia? It's not that rare.

Mr. Chef!

Thank you for your invite.

Welcome.

Mr. Chef!

I came to work!

I'm sorry, Cho Rim. I was lost in thought.

That's why you were like that before...

Your job requires you to meet a lot of people.

I assume it isn't easy for you.

It is inconvenient indeed.

People probably think you're arrogant...

I assume many people would think you're rude for not saying hello to them.

A lot of people think that.

It's annoying to be misunderstood. What can you do?

I think you can help me.

Me? How?

Stay close to me and tell me who it is when someone approaches me.

I'd like you to do that for me.

Sure, no problem.

This is not an order.

You don't have to do it if you don't want to.

Not at all.

It'd be my honor if I can be of any help.

I'll do my best.

Thank you.

I said I didn't steal it!

Are you saying that I'm a thief?

We're not necessarily saying that...

Do you really think I'd steal something so big like five million won?

You were the only one who operated the cash machine yesterday!

Do you really not believe me, boss?

I saw Myeong Ok at the restaurant yesterday!

Why are you accusing me? I never went to your restaurant!

This is driving me crazy!

Ae Ri is arrested for thievery?

She's not arrested. They're asking her questions right now.

Ms. Song Myeong Ok.

Did you really not visit the restaurant yesterday?

Hey, you answer that question while looking into my eyes.

Don't avert your eyes!

Why would I do that? I'm not scared of anything.

You came to the restaurant yesterday!

Don't be ridiculous.

I hung out with my boyfriend all day yesterday in Incheon.

I have evidence too. Take a look.

These are the pictures we posted online during our date.

She's lying.

She's lying right now.

What?

When people lie, their body temperature increases

which makes their body odor around the eyes stronger.

Same thing with the hands, too.

Is that so?

May I look?

So you really were in Incheon yesterday!

A sure alibi, don't you think?

Yes, it shows the time she posted these pictures.

It's a certain piece of evidence.

Hey, Ma Ae Ri. Where is my money?

Where did you hide my money?

Wow... You people can't treat me like this...

I may have been poor, but I never thought about stealing from others!

Why are you doing this to me? I didn't do anything wrong!

Ae Ri...

Well, the report has been filed. You can go home now.

Ms. Ma, don't go anywhere far.

Make sure you pick up all incoming calls.

Go home.

Hey... Look into my eyes.

You...

That girl is pushing hard with her photos on social networking sites!

What will you do now?

That's why I'm going crazy!

She posted everything about yesterday on her account!

What she ate, where she went...

So everyone is believing her and not me!

I feel so victimized.

What's that girl's account ID?

Here...

Her alibi is strong.

In a case like this where there's no direct evidence...

she might be found guilty based on indirect evidence like alibi.

I'm pretty sure this girl's lying. What can I do?

You must break her alibi.

You must prove that her alibi is fake.

You believe me, right? Officer Choi?

Mr. Detective...

I'm sorry... These just popped out of my pocket...

Of course I believe you.

I'll break Myeong Ok's alibi!

How the heck are you going to do that?

I must ask the police.

Well, I'm quite busy with other cases...

This is the place.

Come here.

One, two, three!

We'll be able to find an error in her alibi by comparing our pictures to hers!

I think these pictures look different.

This should be in the center. It's on the left side in your picture.

This is similar enough. As long as we know where it is...

They must be identical! We're doing a field simulation.

So it took us five minutes to get here. The timestamp matches.

Come closer.

Do we have to do this?

They must be identical to have any power as evidence!

Lift your right leg.

I said, lift your right leg!

Yes, ma'am.

One, two, three...

Can we order two more bowls of spicy noodles and three plates of fried rice?

No, we won't have them. I'm sorry.

Okay.

What are you doing?

We're not here to eat and party. We're here for a field simulation.

Please refrain from any activities that differ from her alibi.

There are only two bowls here!

Bathroom...

I don't see a picture of them going to the bathroom.

Please refrain from any activities that differ from her alibi.

I'm sure Myeong Ok went to the bathroom too.

She didn't. Look.

The time they spent going from here to there is very short.

Come.

I must go...

Hold that... Let's take it.

One, two, three!

One, two, three!

The time and place of these pictures match pretty well...

This means her alibi works.

She is definitely lying!

Let's go back and ask the policemen in charge of this to reinvestigate.

Ae Ri... When we were in high school...

she was the only friend who stood by my side

when all the other kids made fun of my monsterish eye.

I really want to help her now.

Next picture is...

What's the next picture?

Never mind.

What are you talking about? We have to do what they did.

What's the picture?

I said never mind!

I'll check it myself.

What nice scenery!

Why aren't we doing this picture?

We must be identical with everything! We can't be selective!

Fine, let's do it then.

Do it?

Let's do it.

I'm really going to do it.

What, are you scared now?

Then you can jump off this cart!

No one is scared! Let's do it!

Do it, then!

Here we go!

That was only for the field simulation.

Of course. It was for the field simulation.

It certainly was.

Field simulation...

This curry place is the last place. But I can't find it.

I'm certain it should be here.

Let's go around the block. I'll keep the time.

It's so strange.

We're back here and we haven't seen a single curry place.

Maybe it wasn't in this direction.

Should we go in the opposite direction?

I think my heel is grazed.

What were you thinking when you put on those heels for this field simulation?

I didn't know it'd be like this.

- Let's change them. - What?

Do you really think you can wear my heels?

I meant changing them here.

Right. Of course.

You should ask your boyfriend what he likes.

He's not my boyfriend.

We'll look around.

The scent of curry!

The scent of curry?

The walls of this shoe store have some strong curry scent.

Nothing else has it in this store. Only the walls.

When did you open this store?

It's been a week.

So I assume it was a curry restaurant a week ago.

That's right.

My brother used to run a curry restaurant here, but he had to go abroad abruptly.

So I took over the lease and opened a shoe store.

Do you have pictures of the curry restaurant?

Of course I do.

Here.

We've found the error in her alibi.

You'll be able to save your friend.

You can confirm.

The curry restaurant you said you visited yesterday closed a week ago.

It's a shoe store now.

How did you eat curry at a shoe store?

Please note that a false testimony is a crime in its own.

Where's the stolen money?

I'm sorry...

I did steal it.

Ms. Song Myeong Ok... You're under arrest for larceny.

The rest of you, please come this way.

I'm so sorry, Ae Ri.

Forget it. I've fired you already.

You won't see me starting tomorrow.

Do not doubt your employees that easily.

And if you want your restaurant to do well, spend more time in it!

Don't touch me.

I've been saving this...

I got these meal vouchers when I worked at this barbecue place.

Two vouchers.

Thank you so much.

Come with us.

I can't.

Now that I've fired that boss, I need to go find another boss.

Goodbye!

You want to go eat barbecue?

Only if you eat five boiled eggs before digging into the meat!

Got it?

Are five eggs too many?

I can make it less. Tell me.

3283...

That's Chun Baek Gyung's car...

Chun Baek Gyung...

Don't look! Turn around!

Chun Baek Gyung... You can't die...

You can't just die after killing my sister!

No, you've killed so many people. You can't just die like this.

Wake up... Open your eyes right now!

The only way for you to die is my killing you!

So open your eyes!

Chun Baek Gyung...

He's the chain murderer?

There was a strong scent of alcohol when I opened the car door.

I've secured the surveillance video footage of the police station starting this morning.

I've confirmed that this car is owned by Chun Baek Gyung himself.

If he wanted to turn himself in, he could've done it alive!

I think he couldn't handle the pressure of the ongoing investigation...

So he took his own life in the garage of the police station.

No, I don't think it was a suicide.

He's standing very upright, in the back seat of the car he owns.

That means someone else drove him here.

There's a barcode on his arm!

Analyze the barcode and determine if that's real or not.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll try to find fingerprints, footprints, and hair left inside of the car...

to find the driver.

Please make sure you don't miss anything on the car's exterior.

It seems like our suspect has become a victim.

Your sister...

was she killed by the chain murderer?

I don't know if I can be of any help...

I'll take a look at Dr. Chun to see what kind of scent is still there.

You don't have to do it.

I'll be okay. I can do it.

The scent of alcohol...

and another scent is all over his body.

What kind of scent is that?

I don't know.

I've never seen this scent before.

What is this scent?

You've never seen it?

Yes, I've never seen this scent before.

This is the footage of Chun Baek Gyung's car coming into the police station.

It was at 2:17 p.m.

And now his car is getting parked in the garage...

This is the guy who ran away after abandoning Chun Baek Gyung and his car here.

I got the identity of the driver by searching for the fingerprints left in the car.

Let's look.

Park Seok Ki. Age 31.

He has a criminal record of assault.

So this guy ran away after abandoning the body of Chun Baek Gyung at a police station?

- Arrest Park Seok Ki right now. - Yes, sir.

Who is it?

I'm here to get empty takeout dishes!

I never ordered takeout!

You're Park Seok Ki, right?

Are you the police?

Huh?

Yes...

Well...

Detective Ki Choong Do from the Southern Precinct.

I was told to deliver a car there yesterday.

Deliver a car?

So around 12:30 p.m. yesterday, you got a call looking for a substitute driver.

Then you left from here to the police station around 1 p.m.

- Is that right, brother? - Yes, brother.

When I opened the door, he was reeking of alcohol!

- He was completely passed out! - Okay, thank you.

The phone number used to call him was a fake.

There had been no call record under that number for three months...

Then it made that one call to him and got disconnected.

Quite meticulous.

We must find out what time that car got here.

I think the lady at that store might know that.

Excuse me, ma'am!

Hello.

Did you see this car around here yesterday?

I think it's this car...

The one that was blocking that sign.

It was parked there since two nights ago.

I walk through this spot when I go home.

There was no car parked here when I went home that night.

But when I got home, I realized that I left my wallet at the store.

So I went back to the store.

On my way back to the store, I saw the car parked right here.

I remember because it was blocking the sign to the fishing area.

So what time did you see this car here?

I go home at 11 p.m. every night. It takes exactly 30 minutes to my home.

This spot is in the middle of my walk... So the time would be...

You probably arrived at home at 11:30, then another 15 minutes to come back here...

It was around 11:45 p.m.

I think so too.

So this car got here some time between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m...

Between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m. on Saturday.

[Temporarily Closed]

A golden fish must meet a hermit.

A golden fish must meet a hermit?

Mr. Chef?

I'm very sorry about Dr. Chun.

You can go home now. I'll finish up here.

Detective Choi.

Right, Detective Choi.

I'd like to ask you some questions.

Then I'll get going.

Please sit down. You can ask me anything.

Ask everything you're wondering about.

Where were you on Saturday night, between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m.?

Saturday night...

I was here at the restaurant.

After 11 p.m.? That's rather late.

Yes, there was something I had to do after all my employees were gone.

I was here with my sous chef.

On Saturday, I left work, went home, cleaned my place, then went to a sauna.

I came back to the restaurant at 11:50 p.m.

I did look at my watch in the parking garage.

He came early!

Where was Chef Kwon at the moment?

He was leaving the garage to go home and get some spices.

Did you see him personally?

Of course. I even called him.

When did Chef Kwon come back?

12:30 a.m.

So it took him 40 minutes, round-trip.

Yes, it usually takes him longer.

But it was late at night and there was no traffic.

What did you do after he came back?

We worked on the secret recipe.

We also practiced the dishes he'll demonstrate on a TV show.

We were up all night.

We pulled an all-nighter together.

We were taking a break when Cho Rim came into work early.

So we had coffee together.

I see.

Is there anything else you want to know?

No. Thank you for your cooperation.

Are you saying that Chef Kwon's alibi is ironclad?

Yes, if Chun Baek Gyung's body was really abandoned between 11 and 12...

Kwon Jae Hee's alibi is ironclad.

The time of the abandonment is definitely between 11 and 12.

A fisherman just testified that not a single car was there before 11 p.m.

It was impossible for Chef Kwon to be at that fishing area at 11 p.m.

I must go check the autopsy report of Chun Baek Gyung.

[Sale of Real Estate Contract]

[Annual Physical Report]

[Flight E-ticket]

What did he want to tell me that night?

This is Choi Moo Gak.

This is Chun Baek Gyung. There's something I must tell you.

- Here you go. [Seong Gok Storage]

This is the storage place?

Yes, I introduced that place to Dr. Chun because I've used them before.

Thank you.

What?

You shouldn't answer your calls like that.

'What?'

What?

One or two. Pick a number.

One.

That's tuna rice roll.

What time do you get out today? I'll bring you some tuna rice rolls.

Don't bother coming if you're going to bring only a little bit.

An hour will suffice.

Then see you at the park in an hour.

By the way...

what was number two?

Tuna rice roll.

Mr. Chun Baek Gyung...

Here we go.

Unit 28 of the B-block.

[J. M. G. Le Clezio] [Golden Fish]

A golden fish must meet a hermit.

[Eugene Ionesco] [The Hermit]

This is Choi Moo Gak.

Yes, Detective Ki.

I'll call you back soon.

Okay.
