Original subtitles

Did you kill Song Min-a?

Answer me.

Do you think Ha-jun

really died by accident?

What?

What about Mom?

Do you really think Mom killed herself?

This is the police. Is anyone home?

It looks like nobody's home. Let's come back tomorrow.

UNREACHABLE

Yong-su.

Yes?

What was the suspect's name again?

It's Jang Ha-bin.

Hey.

This is Captain Jang's car, right?

Why is his car here?

CAPTAIN OH JEONG-HWAN

Stay in your room.

Hey, what did you…

Let's talk outside.

I can explain everything.

I believe she can provide a more accurate explanation.

Can we talk for a minute?

Man, that looks painful.

What happened to your arm?

She got hurt in this neighborhood.

You can check her medical records.

Captain Jang.

Why don't we save our talk for later?

We have a lot to talk about anyway.

Where were you and what did you do on the 11th?

May I ask why you're asking me those questions?

We have a case that happened in Mount Daehwa.

And we found the location information showing you were there that day.

Mount Daehwa?

Yes.

I haven't been there.

You haven't?

I see.

Is this perhaps

related to Song Min-a too?

Do you know Song Min-a?

About a week ago,

we went to a precinct after a fight.

Why did you two fight?

I saw her stealing someone's phone on the subway

and I followed her.

And we had a little scuffle when I tried to report her to the police.

So you didn't know each other?

No. That's when I met her for the first time.

I lost my phone that day.

Your daughter stole Song Min-a's phone.

I had a feeling she was the one who stole it.

I didn't tell Dad about this either. I didn't want to get involved.

Could you tell us what you did on the 11th?

Well, I…

I was with my boyfriend.

You were with your boyfriend?

Could you tell us his name and contact information?

Yes.

Good.

Hey, what do you think?

I don't know. She didn't seem very suspicious.

She told us things that could work against her.

And Song Min-a did commit theft before.

Everything falls into place too perfectly.

She seemed unshaken too.

Captain Jang seemed more shaken to me.

I've never seen him like that.

You stole the phone.

The light blue phone in your bag.

That's Song Min-a's phone.

Why would I steal her phone?

I heard you asked her to meet you saying you'd give it back.

Who said that?

Don't answer my question with another question.

Did you meet Song Min-a on the 11th?

I didn't meet her, and I didn't steal her phone.

Then whose phone was that?

Why bother asking if you won't believe me?

You believe others saying I stole the phone,

but you think I'm lying?

Tell me.

What you said earlier about Ha-jun and your mom…

What did you mean by that?

Every time someone I know dies, you suspect me.

Dad.

What kind of person am I to you?

PROFILER JANG TAE-SU

KIM GYU-SEON EXPRESSES GRATITUDE TO PROFILER JANG TAE-SU

FOR EXONERATING HIM FROM MURDER CHARGES

- Hello. - Good morning.

Hi.

All right, thanks. Bye.

Sir.

Detective Cho just confirmed

that she got injured in her neighborhood the day after the incident.

Really?

Is something bothering you?

JANG HA-BIN DOWOON HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM

Does it matter?

We'll just keep digging until all the alibis are confirmed.

Excuse me. Are you the detective who called me?

Right. Mr. Lee Su-hyeon?

You were with her all night?

In the same room?

Whatever you're worried about, it didn't happen.

I'm sorry.

Look up.

Look at me when you answer me.

Did you two stay in the same room the entire day on the 11th?

Yes, we didn't leave the room.

We got all the food delivered.

Song Min-a.

You know her, right?

No.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I told the other detectives too.

Have you noticed something off about Ha-bin lately?

Could you stop being like this to her?

What?

Ha-bin is a good person.

You don't seem to know.

SIR, I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING

About Jang Ha-bin…

Yes?

We should meet her.

She had a fight with Song Min-a a few days before she died.

According to her statements, she's not a runaway either.

It's been confirmed.

Already? What's been confirmed?

Excuse me. I need to take this call.

Yes, Captain.

Do you have a minute?

Let's go!

- You got this! - Let's go!

You can do it!

Let's go!

- Nice! - Well done.

Nice, Ha-bin.

Ha-bin is a good person.

You don't seem to know.

Come on! This way!

You're Ha-bin's dad, right?

Yes.

We met at the funeral.

- Hello, Mr. Park. - Hi.

Hey, stop it.

I know Su-hyeon very well.

They were close in the tenth grade.

What is Su-hyeon like?

Su-hyeon is quiet and acts like an adult.

Right.

Su-hyeon gave this to me last year on Teachers' Day.

The two of them are quite similar.

What do you mean, they're "similar"?

They are both sweet on the inside.

Ha-bin received a cash prize for winning the competition last year,

but she gave it to Su-hyeon.

Su-hyeon's family isn't very well-off.

She said I should tell Su-hyeon that it's a scholarship

because Su-hyeon wouldn't accept it from her.

By the way, how's Ha-bin doing lately?

She must still be devastated about her mom.

If Jang Ha-bin's alibi isn't confirmed, Captain Jang is off the case, right?

He has already violated the investigative protocol.

Her alibi is a different matter.

Wait. Stop there.

They went in around 4:00 p.m. on the 11th.

When did they come out?

Not that night.

There.

It's the 13th.

That's the day after we started the investigation.

Sir, is this the only exit from this building?

Yes. I told you already.

11TH to 13TH PARTY ROOM WITH HER BOYFRIEND

Could you replay the footage one more time?

Could you show me the room they stayed in?

Fifth floor, right?

Jang Ha-bin said she'd give her phone back,

so Min-a went out to get it.

That was the last day I saw her.

We confirmed your daughter's alibi.

I just confirmed it myself too.

You didn't tell us when you saw her name on the list, right?

You should've at least shared this with us when you found out

Song Min-a was the victim.

This is a clear breach of the investigative protocol.

Right.

I'm sure you're aware that this isn't something

that can be overlooked.

Did he say anything else?

I managed to smooth it over.

Tell me if he calls you again.

What are you doing this weekend?

The movie I like just came out.

Why aren't you asking me?

Ask you about what?

About why the police wanted to talk to you

and why my dad is suspicious of me.

Aren't you curious?

I'm sure you have your reasons.

What's wrong?

LEE SU-HYEON

Nothing.

It must've been really hard for you.

If my dad was a profiler, I would've felt so suffocated.

There's an upside too.

It makes you a better liar.

Next is about the people who had phone calls near the scene.

We've checked the alibis of everyone who had phone calls nearby that day,

but we haven't found anyone suspicious.

However, we've encountered an issue in this process.

An issue?

Wait.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry. I just found a familiar name.

Jang Ha-bin.

Who's that?

Well, she is...

Sir, the thing is...

Her alibi has been confirmed.

She has a valid alibi.

But at the precinct...

As Officer Lee suggests, there were things to check out,

but she had a solid alibi for that day.

I think we can move on, Officer Lee.

Yes, sir.

If all alibis have been confirmed, what's the issue?

Right.

One of the numbers turned out to be a burner phone.

And it's hard to track that number.

Captain Jang, is there anything you want to add?

No, sir.

Answer me! Did you interrogate Park Ji-yeon thoroughly?

I definitely asked her if there was anyone who was on bad terms with her.

Captain Jang said we could send her back, so…

Hey. Enough.

Captain said we should just move on.

But…

Enough.

Officer Gu.

Did anyone in your team

review Park Ji-yeon's statement other than Captain Jang?

No.

Captain Jang said he'd take care of it. Why do you ask?

So we don't know for sure, then.

She isn't answering her phone.

I see.

What do we not know for sure, by the way?

It's been confirmed by Detective Park and Captain Jang.

Captain Jang is unreliable at the moment.

The detectives have confirmed his daughter's alibi.

Whether she's the culprit or not,

it's a fact that he hid crucial information.

It's not like he was covering up her crime.

What he did was understandable.

She's his family.

Are you covering for him now?

We're the police. That was definitely out of line!

Hey, Team One.

- Team One. - Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Aren't you going to look for the kids?

Move!

I…

VIOLENT CRIME DIVISION 3-4

So you knew about this.

How's Choi Yeong-min?

He hasn't moved since yesterday afternoon.

What do you want to eat?

Anything to drink.

- Coffee? - Sounds good.

Thanks.

This brat hasn't moved?

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

Why did you cover for him?

I mean, you don't like Captain Jang.

That man gets under my skin,

but he wouldn't mess with cases.

We need all the manpower to catch the culprit.

No matter how annoying he is.

Right?

You're right.

Hold on.

That woman is the owner of this house, right?

Yes.

Can you believe she has a son that age?

It's a little...

Stop distracting yourself and focus on your job.

It'll be too late if we miss Choi Yeong-min.

Hey.

Where are you now?

- Keep an eye on him. - Yes, sir.

Yes.

What's wrong?

What?

Nothing.

Let's get inside.

Do-yun.

Yes?

So you're saying,

Captain Jang was the person who took Song Min-a's records

and you found that out at the precinct.

Yes.

Then why did you lie to me?

I'm not sure why I did that.

Do you really think this is acceptable?

He breached the investigative protocol.

He should've backed out when he found out his family was involved,

but her alibi has been confirmed and…

I just don't understand.

Both Captain Jang

and you, Officer Gu.

- I said I didn't do it! - Enough.

- Be quiet. - Geez.

Fine. Just be quiet and let's talk inside.

Let's talk inside.

Captain Jang is unreliable at the moment.

It's a fact that he hid crucial information.

Could you please, for once…

just believe what I say?

RETRIEVAL

RETRIEVE YOUR BELONGINGS?

LOCKER

Wrong PIN.

PIN

Wrong PIN.

Did you get the answer you were looking for?

I wonder what Su-hyeon will think of me now.

The detectives already talked to him.

Did you really have to go…

and talk with him too?

I knew it'd hurt your feelings,

but I had to ask him.

Honestly, everything seemed suspicious.

You're talking as if it's not anymore.

You said you didn't meet her on the 11th, right?

And that Song Min-a stole the phone.

I know you don't believe me.

I will.

I don't want…

to hurt you anymore.

Dad.

You should return to your office. I'll follow you too.

Are you saying we should move? Just like that?

Why do you ask?

Do you think I have other intentions?

Well, it's just too sudden.

Earlier, you said...

I didn't know…

but living in the house where Mom lived with us

is actually quite hard.

I keep having negative thoughts here.

It might be better to move to a new place with you.

Think about it and let me know.

I told you it was a bad idea.

I told you to come out.

Hey! Be quiet, you little bastards.

These darn punks.

Detective Cho, take them to the interrogation room.

And call Officer Lee and Officer Gu.

Let's get out of the car now.

- I was going to. - Hurry up and move.

Fine.

This is lame.

- Don't tell me what to do. - Be quiet.

Come this way.

Hurry up.

This way. Hurry up. Move.

Where were the runaway kids hiding?

These sly punks.

They were staying in saunas and motels to avoid the precinct's watch.

Gosh, I'm tired.

Thank you. We'll get ready to interrogate.

How many kids are there?

Let me see.

Seven.

We should interrogate them individually.

We don't have much time, so let's split up.

Give me the papers.

Take two each.

- I'll take the rest. - Yes, sir.

So you're joining us?

I'm not sure…

if it's a good idea to have you

lead this investigation.

How and when did you first meet Song Min-a?

About one year ago, when she joined our runaway kids' gang.

Write down what you did on the 11th.

Chronologically, in as much detail as possible.

What was Song Min-a like?

She'd always talk about money.

- Everyone… - They hated her.

- She'd lash out all the time. - Don't you know the word, "anger issue?"

She was so annoying.

They're all similar.

On the fourth, which was a week before the incident,

Song Min-a left the gang.

And on the day of the incident,

all the kids were in their house, including Choi Yeong-min.

About what they ate, what they did, and so on…

Their statements are detailed and consistent.

Check this out.

Their words overlap too much.

CRAZY FOR MONEY

OBSESSED WITH MONEY

You're right.

Living together, they might share similar vocabulary,

but they're even used in the same context

and in similar orders too.

What if the kids are trying to get their stories straight?

Then we should find the weakest link.

If you look here,

she changed her negative comments about Min-a multiple times.

She must've been emotionally close to the victim.

You go in, Officer Gu.

She has a high level of anxiety.

Since you've talked with her already, she'll be more comfortable with you.

Other than what you wrote here already,

is there anything else you want to tell me?

That must be painful.

Based on what you wrote here,

it looks like everyone hated Min-a.

Is that right?

Yes.

What about you?

What did you think of her?

Did you hate her too?

Nobody is all bad, though.

I agree with you.

Then tell me, Eun-jin.

Why did you write it like this?

Well…

No reason.

I know you guys are trying to get your stories straight.

Can you be honest with me?

I will make sure

nobody finds out about what you said.

I promise.

I will keep it a secret.

You agreed to say the same thing with your friends, right?

- We were told… - Yes.

…not to go home for now and stay in hiding elsewhere.

By whom?

Who told you to do that?

Yeong-min.

I just finished my interrogation.

I don't know about other kids, but I think I managed to smooth it over.

What about that bitch?

Did you find her?

Wrong PIN.

Wrong PIN.

Thank you.

Sure.

What was the relationship between Choi Yeong-min and Min-a like?

It wasn't necessarily bad.

She's been in the gang for a while.

Although…

Although?

When Yeong-min figured out that Min-a left the gang,

he got furious.

He said, when he finds her…

he's going to kill her.

Were you really with Choi Yeong-min on the 11th?

Eun-jin.

You're not going to get in trouble.

You can trust me.

That day…

Yeong-min never came home.

It's all a lie.

Choi Yeong-min, come out. I know you're in there.

Come out, you bastard!

Choi Yeong-min.

Choi Yeong-min!

- Is he not there? - No.

Why on earth does he have a smart lock on his room?

- Hey. - Yes.

- Watch this door. - Yes, sir.

Darn it.

Are they gone?

They're still there.

I think they know you're not in the house.

Fuck.

Why don't you just cooperate with them?

What?

Avoiding them will make you look more suspicious.

Hey, say that again.

What did you say?

Do you think I'll go down alone if they catch me?

Mom?

I'm coming.

I FOUND HER

According to her statement,

Choi Yeong-min and Song Min-a weren't on good terms.

The important thing is that Choi has no alibi for that day.

Right.

And it was very meticulous of him to tell the kids to lie.

Choi Yeong-min, this brat, is definitely suspicious.

The problem is we don't have hard evidence.

Right.

There must be an accomplice.

Whether Choi Yeong-min is the culprit or not.

How do you know?

Taking care of a dead body within just a few hours

and digging a hole can't be done alone.

The crime scene also suggests

that the culprit was both meticulous and disorganized.

I looked into Choi Yeong-min's credit card record

to locate him, but I found nothing.

It's hard to stay hidden without someone's help.

Our top priority now should be studying people around Choi Yeong-min.

Someone's definitely helping him.

How can I help you?

I just wanted to give you some snacks.

I'm on duty now. I'm sorry.

Wait.

But you haven't even eaten yet, right?

I have.

Well, thanks.

It's nothing.

Sure. Thank you.

See if you can find Choi Yeong-min's record here.

- Okay. - Gosh, this case is killing me.

- Have you heard from Detective Cho? - Not yet.

I asked him to keep us posted.

And the CCTV near the runaways' house?

There are none pointing at their house.

All right. Thanks.

How many phones are registered under Choi Yeong-min's name?

I was going to do it after checking the CCTVs.

Call me when you find something.

Keep a close eye on them.

Not yet? It's been forever.

I was waiting because it seemed like a burner phone.

- I'm sorry. I'll hurry. - Okay.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have you

lead this investigation.

Check these too.

I marked the relevant parts. I'm sure they'll help.

And I sent the handover plan to your emails.

- What? - Call me if you have any questions.

Captain Jang.

Are you stepping down from this case?

Yes.

Is it because of what I said?

No.

You're right.

I could ruin this investigation.

Perhaps, I already have.

I want to sell my house.

As soon as possible.

Thanks. Please call me back.

Hello.

Is this Jang Tae-su's phone?

Yes. Who is this?

You left your name card on my car.

My car was parked near Semyeong Building.

Your memo says that you needed my dashcam footage for the investigation.

Hello?

Why isn't he saying anything?

Are you really a cop?

Yes, I am.

I'm still nearby.

If you want to check it, please hurry.

There you go.

Thank you.

So what?

Does this footage mean Ha-bin killed someone?

It doesn't, right?

She wasn't with me that day, but it doesn't make her a murderer.

Do you really think what you're doing is good for her?

Tell me all about what actually happened that day.

She went out to meet Song Min-a, right?

She didn't tell me where she was going.

I don't even know who she is.

What about Choi Yeong-min?

I've never heard of that name.

Do you know anyone who might know?

Does she have any other close friends?

I don't know. I was just transferred.

Weren't you in the same class as her last year?

I transferred this year.

It was a misunderstanding.

The Su-hyeon I was talking about is a girl.

They were best friends in tenth grade.

- This girl's name is Lee Su-hyeon too? - Yes.

There was another student named Su-hyeon.

I'm teaching 12th graders this year, so I didn't know.

Can I get her contact information?

I can give you her address,

but it won't be easy to meet her.

She dropped out of school.

Her phone number's not working either.

I went to her house to meet her,

but she ran away.

She ran away?

PAYMENT REMINDER

- What proof? - I don't know either.

- And he asked me if I knew someone. - Song Min-a?

No, it was a man's name.

It was Choi something.

Choi Yeong-min?

Yes, he asked me if I knew Choi Yeong-min.

Why are you looking for that brat?

I want to ask her something.

Has she not come back home yet?

Once she runs out of money, she might.

Have you seen this girl?

She was Su-hyeon's friend.

Do you know her?

She ran away too, right?

I bet she did.

What do you mean?

Whenever this girl called her, Su-hyeon would go out, no matter the time.

I have no idea what they did out there,

but she'd come back with her eyes all sunken.

She'd seem out of her mind.

Then she ran away from home.

You can stop here. Your home is in the opposite direction.

Okay.

Hold on.

I noticed your usual key chain

was gone.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Let me put it on your bag.

It's cute.

You're home.

How's your arm?

It's okay now.

You changed the key chain.

Yes, Su-hyeon gave it to me.

The one you had before

was from Su-hyeon too.

How did you know?

Someone told me…

at your school.

Is that so?

Have you thought about what I said the other day?

About moving?

I did.

But I should solve this case first.

Does it have to be done by you?

I'm going to catch

the real culprit.

Let's think about the move…

another time.

Okay.

Ha-bin.

If you have anything to tell me…

I'm all ears.

Okay.

You thought I wouldn't be able to find you?

I'm so sorry, Yeong-min.

Ji-yeon.

I have eyes on you everywhere.

Please forgive me. I'll never do this again.

- Where is it? - I don't know.

- I don't know! - Where's my money Song Min-a took?

Where is it?

Type your PIN.

Type your PIN.

WRONG PIN PLEASE TRY AGAIN

SELF-SERVICE LOCKERS

Type your PIN.

Type your PIN.

Damn it.

Type your PIN.

Type your PIN.

God damn it.

Excuse me.

What are you looking for?

Hey!

What…

Is this the police?

SELF-SERVICE LOCKERS

What is he looking for?

Could he be dealing drugs?

This might be their drop spot.

It means someone put something there.

Hey.

Where?

SENIOR INSPECTOR JANG TAE-SU'S ACCURATE PROFILING

Type your PIN.

NO NAME

I have something to tell you.

Could you drop me off at the library?

Okay.

I'll be waiting in the car. Come out when you're ready.

What is it?

Right.

Good luck with the case.

And I hope you catch the real culprit.

Thanks.

We found Choi Yeong-min. We're at Seopyeong Station now.

Screen doors opening.

Excuse me.

Yes. He's going outside.

Okay.

Sorry.

What's this?

Could you check if this matches

with the microfiber that we found at the car accident?

Where did you get it?

How long will it take?

I'll try to do it as fast as I can.

RED KEY CHAIN

I told you we'd meet again.

Come on up.

Hurry up, you bastard!

Damn it.

Fuck.

Should Officer Lee and I interrogate him?

No, I'll do it myself.

But let's have a meeting first.

Pull up everything we have on Choi Yeong-min.

We got a tip-off nearby.

We didn't hear anything about the context.

This is just too sudden.

We're working here. You can't just…

- Detective Kim. - Are you always pushy like this?

Come on. Please be understanding.

We're just doing our job for the Audit Team.

We'll make it quick.

What's going on?

Captain Jang Tae-su, right?

Yes, that's me.

There has been a report of bribery. Please cooperate with our investigation.

- Did you find anything? - Not yet.

Are you going to keep denying it?

The amount of money the informant mentioned

matches the amount of money found in your trunk.

I don't know anything about this. I've never received the money.

You'll be suspended until this matter is resolved.

We finally caught the suspect and…

No, sir.

Okay.

Darn it.

Darn this.

Captain Jang is suspended.

You two go in.

I'm investigating a case now.

From this moment on, you need to step away from the investigation.

But who made this report…

And I hope you catch the real culprit.

Got any proof?

Why did you delete the dashcam footage?

I didn't.

It just doesn't make sense that I received a bribe

from a victim of a case from two years ago.

You can't just harass an innocent citizen without any evidence.

Have a good day.

What a busy man.

Well, he should be.

Do you know Captain Jang?

Officer Gu.

Where's Choi Yeong-min?

I'm sorry, Captain.

I'm sorry.

Captain Jang.

They match.

What do you mean we found evidence?

The microfiber we found at the car accident scene.

It's the same as the evidence he gave me.

Are you sure?

Could they be just similar...

They're identical.

What's important is we found the skeleton's DNA here.

What? What did you just say?

The skeleton found in the mountain.

We found its DNA here.

Are you saying this could be a serial killer case?

One piece of evidence for two separate cases.

The two cases are definitely related.

There could have been another victim before Song Min-a.

Captain Jang.

Where did you get this evidence?

I wonder who sent the evidence.

Your key chain…

You really didn't know?

Do you know Ha-bin?

She's your daughter, right?

I'm curious myself.

Why is your daughter so obsessed with me?

- Jang Ha-bin, get out. - Excuse me.

You've lost your mind.

Running away won't solve anything.

Dad.

How can you be so sure?
