Jack:
Over 68 million Americans

leave the safety
of our borders every year.

If danger strikes,

the FBI's
International Response Team

is called into action.

♪ 'Cause I'm going,
going, going crazy ♪

You, sit.

Hello.

My name is Choong-hoon.

This is Gyong-si.
And Jong.

I'm Jessica.

So what brings you to Seoul?

Shopping?

Go to Cheongdam-dong?

No way, too expensive for me.

I'm teaching English
over in Bundang.

You like Chantal?

I do.

$1,500 American a bottle.

You have good taste.

I have an idea for you, Jessica.

What's that?

I think,
instead of teaching English,

you should be...

learning more Korean.

Maybe help pay for
all that good taste.

Hmm?

♪ ♪

Kristy: So, bath time
was interesting.

Uh-oh.

Yeah, I was drying David off
when he looks at me and asks,

"Mommy, do you have a scrotum?"

Oh, no.

- Yeah.
- Oh.

I told him, "No."

But now, no surprise, scrotum
is his favorite word.

He's taught his brother, too.

I'm sorry I wasn't there
to handle that one.

No, it's fine.

I'm just happy he knows
the actual anatomical word.

Maybe it means
he'll be a doctor.

Or maybe it just means
he's a boy.

Yeah, probably.

So how's the search for your
grandmother going?

Not great.

Most of Mom's leads
are dead ends.

I should have got more
information before she passed.

So what I thought would
take a couple days

is looking like
it's gonna take a week.

And I shouldn't be doing this
on my vacation.

That's for you and the kids.

Matt.
This is important.

Your mom wanted you to find her.

And maybe next year, we'll all
go together once you do.

- If I do. If I do.
- You will.

Besides you have to now

because I've already
told all the kids

that they have a
great-grandmother who is ready

to spoil them rotten.

Oh.
You did not.

Okay, but I wanted to.

Look, I know this is hard,
but...

Babe, I got to call you back.

I-I love you.

♪ ♪

Sorry to crash your vacation.

How's that going, by the way?

Simmons: Oh, it's like looking
for a needle in a haystack.

Turns out

there are a lot of little old
Korean ladies in Korea.

I'll bet. But it's a good
thing you're doing.

Thank you.

Where are you staying?

Well, I rented
this great little place.

It's a traditional Korean home
called a hanok.

And I was thinking that
we could stage out of it

since it's in the city versus
out by the airport,

and it's completely wired.

Sounds good.

Okay, so I've been in touch with

the Korean National
Police Agency,

they're grateful for our help.

And our liaison
with the Seoul PD

is Senior Inspector Joon-ho Kim.

He's a 20-year veteran.
He's one of their best.

- That should be helpful.
- Maybe.

While the higher-ups are happy
that we are aboard,

Joon-ho seemed a bit... chilly.

Told me he was used
to working alone.

It'll be fine.

What do you have, Monty?

Monty: Our victim,
Jessica Townsend,

age 25, from Crawford, Indiana.

She was in Seoul for the last
six months teaching English

in a placement service called
The Land of the Morning Calm.

Is this her first time
out of the US?

No, her parents said
that she had spent

her junior year in Spain
and had traveled extensively

during that time.

Jack: You know her last known
whereabouts?

Yes, police found a hand stamp

and tracked her to
Club Seoleun nearby.

The video footage puts her
there up until about 10:00 PM.

Seoul PD should have
e-mailed you

the police report and crime
scene photos by now.

Fair warning, the photos
are tough to look at.

Whoa.

What happened to her face?

Looks slashed and beaten,
and her jaw looks crushed.

Yeah, ME's not sure.

The unsub stuffed her

in a plastic trash bag
and then put her into

a jumbo shopping cart

before leaving her by a dumpster

to be picked up in
the Itaewon District,

which is popular amongst
ex-pats and soldiers

from the nearby
US military base.

So our immediate vicinity gives
us a varied suspect pool.

We could be looking at a local
or a foreigner who did this.

Clara: The organized dumping
of a body in public

is usually something
we see in serial cases.

Simmons: Well, our news
coverage here is wall-to-wall,

so if this a serial,
it's only gonna embolden him.

Jack: Yes.

And an urge like that
is only stopped

one of two ways...
Detention or death.

♪ ♪

Simmons:
A Korean proverb tells us,

"The gem cannot be polished
without friction.

Nor man perfected
without trials."

Matt, good to see you
in the flesh.

Hey, Jack.
Good to see you, too.

I sent Mae over to the morgue

and Clara over to Seoul PD
to see if she can find

any other case that
fit a similar MO.

Oh, Inspector Kim,
this is my boss

and unit chief of the IRT,
Jack Garrett.

Pleased to meet you.

The club has extensive
security cameras,

so we were able to get a good
look at Jessica's movements

throughout the night.

She came to the club
with those women?

Uh, no, I actually went
to her apartment,

spoke to a couple
of her friends,

and they said that she likes
to go out often alone.

And who's that?

An employee of the club.

A booker.

The men sit at tables
and order bottle service,

and if they see a woman they
like, the booker retrieves her.

It's a type of forced
socialization.

I wouldn't call it forced...

The women know what
they're getting into.

Now, what's the expectation

once a woman's been booked?

Just conversation.

Well, let's see
where she ended up.

Well, I'm thinking he wants more
than just conversation.

Wait a second.

Who's this?

We don't know.

But she does.

Look at how her body language
changed after he sat down.

Crossed her arms,
she's tensing up.

She's scared, but only of him.

A club doorman confirmed that
that man left the vicinity,

and that's all we know for now.

Jessica stayed at the table
for another 10 minutes

with the men who booked her,
and then she left alone.

What happened to the other men

who were sitting
at the booth with her?

I'm assuming they were irritated
when Jessica left early.

No, they found other girls.
We have video of them all

getting into a cab
later in the evening.

The baeg-in did this.

White guy.

Question is, who is he?

I wouldn't be surprised
if it was someone she knew.

Why's that?

Well, because I have evidence
of extreme overkill here.

And all of it is concentrated
on her face.

Well, that could mean we're
looking for a male unsub,

someone who has
issues with women

and their perceived
attractiveness.

Maybe betrayed by
an ex or something?

Well, the Korean ME
and I have arrived

at the same COD...
Exsanguination.

So she bled out after
the unsub slashed her throat,

but not before
he mutilated her face.

- The mutilation was perimortem?
- Yeah.

I mean, she was tortured.
The thing is I can't find

any bruising or contusions to
suggest that she was restrained,

so I'm assuming that the unsub
used a paralytic

to render her helpless
but also keep her alive.

Do we have any more specifics

about what the unsub did
to her face? Tool marks?

Unfortunately, no, that plastic
bag accelerated the decomp

and the bloating

and obliterated
a lot of the details.

I have evidence that her eyes
and her nose were slashed

and that her mandible
was crushed.

And to be honest,

I've never seen
such extensive damage

done to a victim's face before.

All right, Mae, thanks.

We'll see you soon.

Go ahead, Monty.

I did a little digging
into Jessica's social media

and found out that she and
a guy named Grayson Faber, 25,

of Tallahassee, Florida, had
been in a brief relationship.

Looks like the guy
from the club.

Yeah, Grayson and Jessica
were both English teachers

at the same school,
but two weeks ago,

she blocked him from
all of her social media,

which currently
is a surefire sign

that there's an issue
between a man and a woman.

You know what went down?

You know I do.

I called
The Land of Morning Calm

and spoke with a Ms. Thompson.

She said that Jessica had
filed a formal complaint

against Grayson,
said that they dated,

and after she broke it off,

Grayson was harassing her.

She asked that he be
transferred to another school.

That happen?
No, but Ms. Thompson

did say she spoke to Grayson
and gave him a warning,

said she didn't
like his attitude.

I then did a background check

and found that he was questioned
but never arrested

for pistol-whipping one of
girlfriends in Florida.

So he has a motive and a temper.

You know where we can find him?

Should be at the school...
Sending you the address now.

Now, remember, we don't say
good-bye, right?

We say peace out.

Peace out.

All right.
See you tomorrow.

Grayson Faber?
Yeah.

I'm Agent Jack Garrett,
this is Agent Simmons.

We're with the FBI.

Like to ask you a few questions
about Jessica Townsend.

Uh, yeah, sure.
Why don't we go inside?

♪ ♪

Simmons: Get down.
Down. Stay down.

Get up.

I didn't have anything to do

with what happened
to Jessica, okay?

So why'd you run?

I just panicked, you know, FBI.

That's, like, for real.

I mean, I've seen the news.

I know what happened to her.

When was the last time
you saw her?

Couple nights ago.
Club Seoleun.

Yeah, we saw the tape.
You looked pretty pissed at her.

Yeah, well, she was trying
to tank me at work.

Because you're harassing her.

A couple phone calls
is harassment?

Couple hundred's more like it.

Plus, you showed up late
at night at her house.

Kind of like what you did
to the girl in Tallahassee...

Right before you cracked her
skull open with your glock.

That never happened.
Yes, it did.

So, what happened after you left
Jessica at the club?

Nothing.

I went home.
I was tired.

Anyone able to confirm that?

No.

Clara: Hey.

Hey, what did you get?

Well, Jack was right.

We are looking
for a serial killer.

Two weeks ago,
a British woman...

Barbara Walker, 24, blond...

Her body turned up at a trash
dump outside of Seoul.

Well, it says here that,
although Barbara's body

was severely decomposed,
the ME found facial trauma

consistent to what
I found on Jessica.

Why didn't the Korean cops
make the connection?

Well, Barbara's body was
discovered at the city dump,

which covers a lot
of the city's area.

So, different jurisdictions
means different departments.

Maybe they never communicated.

Okay, well, Barbara's autopsy
report was dated two weeks ago,

and Jack just discovered
that Grayson guy

was in Thailand
until three days ago.

So, her couldn't have done this
to Barbara, or to Jessica.

Yeah, which means the killer
is still out there.

♪ ♪

We ID'd the victim
as Elsa Byquist,

from Stockholm, Sweden.

23 years old, she worked
as a shop girl nearby.

Unsub has a type.
Young blondes.

That's the man who called it in.

He works at the convenience
store around the corner.

Now, he says, when he arrived
for his shift at 11:00 PM,

he didn't see the cart,
but when he came back out

at 2:00 AM for a cigarette,
it was there.

You say that we're looking
for a serial killer,

yet you let the American go?

He could have
done this, as well.

We belive the unsub's spree
started two weeks ago,

when Grayson was out of town.

Clara: Yeah, besides, he's back
on a plane to the States.

The placement company
pulled his visa

after we told them about
his history of assault.

If that's how you choose
to run an investigation.

Maybe it's time we find
a new liaison.

It's just pride.

He'll settle.
Call Monty.

We need to know how the unsub's
finding his victims.

Maybe we can find some common
denominator that would explain

where they crossed with each
other or with him.

You got it.

The timeline of the killings
has accelerated,

but the disposal method
remains the same, so,

ritual is important to him,
as well as this area.

Jessica's body was dumped less
than two blocks away from here.

Head over to the Seoul
sanitation department,

see if you can track Barbara's
original dump site

to this location.

Maybe we can confirm this as the
unsub's only dumping ground

so we can get to work
on a geo-profile.

Simmons:
Waste management's pretty
tightly controlled in Seoul,

but I was able to track
Barbara's original dump site

to Hoenamu-Ro 28 and 45.

That's two blocks from where
they found Jessica

and three blocks from
where Elsa was dumped.

Makes our unsub's dumping ground
four square blocks.

That's a fairly confined
comfort zone.

Yeah, he's at ease here.

It makes me think
he lives or works here.

Well, it may also be
where he hunts.

Monty and I have been
looking for a connection

between the victims, and I think
we may have found one.

Hoenamu-Ro 46.

According to credit card
activity,

Barbara got flowers twice a week

from a place called
Red Petal flowers.

And there's Jessica.
She got her nails done

once a week here
at Shine Sparkle Nails.

And Elsa worked
at a clothing boutique,

Nina's, on the exact same road.

Given the time it would take
to mutilate the victims' faces,

our unsub had to hold them
for a few hours

prior to killing
and dumping them.

Right.
He needed a lair.

Considering both victims were
stalked and dumped in the same

location, I'd say there's a good
chance that it's nearby.

Here. This block is
the anchor spot.

Monty, I'm about
to send you a picture

of a city block in Seoul's
Itaewon District.

I need you to get intel
on all the buildings in it.

Monty: You got it.

♪ ♪

Well, I think that
the perimortem mutilations

are actually extreme forms
of plastic surgery.

So, because there was
no decomp this time,

I was able to get a better look,
and originally,

I thought that the victims' jaws
were just crushed

by, like, a vice.

But now I can tell that
incisions were made

into the mandible bone itself,

suggesting that a T-osteotomy
was performed

to increase the pointiness
of the victim's chin.

That's a cosmetic procedure?

Yeah, for those who want
a more delicate jawline.

Yeah.

Her nostrils were slashed
with some type of scalpel,

and the skin was peeled back.

And I have evidence that
the septal cartilage

was shaved down, as well.

That would be a rhinoplasty.

Yep.
And finally, we have the eyes.

Both lids were removed,
which I believe

is to mimic a blepharoplasty
or a double eyelid surgery.

And I also found slashes
and self-dissolving stitches

in the corners of her eyes,

which would suggest
an epicanthoplasty,

or an eye-widening surgery.

Stitches.
That's new.

Yeah, I feel like
it's a refinement.

Well, Seoul is considered

the plastic surgery capital
of the world.

Those eye surgeries are a common
high-school graduation gift

for girls, not considered
a big deal.

It's like getting a nose job
for your sweet 16.

But it's not just about vanity.

Many South Koreans
equate beauty with success.

A lot of job résumés,
they require a photo attachment.

The culture is steeped in it,

so we might be looking
at a South Korean for this.

And considering the skill needed
to operate on these victims,

I would guess that the unsub's
35 to 45 years old.

And the use of
the self-dissolving stitches

and the surgical cuts
points to him being a doctor.

Any evidence of sexual abuse?

No. It's nothing.
It's just like the others.

So, I'm thinking our unsub gets
off on altering women's faces.

That would explain the lack
of sexual assault.

Which means we could be looking
for a psychosexual sadist

who releases his impotence

and indulges his desire
for control

by sculpting his victims' faces,

you know, creating his version
of the perfect woman.

Before tossing them
into the trash.

Go ahead, Monty.

So, I did a quick search of
all the structures located

on the unsub's anchor block,
and I found a bank,

a 24-hour drug store,

and a four-story mixed-use
building with 75 units.

The unsub dumped all the bodies
in the early morning.

Makes me think he mutilates
them at night.

He'd need privacy, which he
wouldn't get at a bank

or a drug store open all night.

So, you're thinking
the mixed-use building.

Me, too.
Only problem is

I can't access
the private deed holders.

That has to be done in person

at the property management
office in Han-Gngno 50.

Clara, grab Joon-ho
and get over there.

See if anyone on the deed
fits the profile.

Simmons and I'll head
toward the buildings

and start knocking on doors
until you narrow it down.

Clara: So, most of the owners
in the building

don't fit the profile.
They're either older

or families with children,

but we did find one business
unit, number 412.

It was taken back off the market

after it didn't sell
in the past year.

So, it's currently vacant?

Yep, and it is a top-floor unit
with a private elevator.

Sounds like a good bet
for a lair.

The deed came back
to a Geonwoo Lee.

He's a South Korean citizen.

Joon-ho says that there's
an extradition request

still standing for him.

We know what for?

Two years ago, he was accused

of assault on a prostitute
in Dubai.

But he fled the country before
the cops could get there.

He cut her with a razor, Jack.

FBI!

Jack, blood.

FBI!

♪ ♪

He's gone.

The unsub is a regular
Jackson Pollack.

I've got blood on blood
on blood here.

DNA's gonna be a nightmare.

Yeah.
It's pretty gnarly.

So, I've been meaning
to ask you.

Finding your grandma's
been hard, huh?

Yeah.
Yeah.

A lot of records
were lost in the war.

So, I'm thinking,
after all this,

I may just go back
with you guys.

You're really gonna put finding

your long-lost Korean
grandmother on the back burner?

Well, I got to get back
to Kristy and the kids.

Matt, you make your living
tracking killers,

people who don't
want to be found,

and you're really telling me

that you can't find
your grandmother

in a country the size
of Indiana?

If you ask me...

Which I didn't.

Right. But if you did,
I would say that

the reason that
you can't find her

is because you don't want to.

Okay.

I'll bite.
Why don't I want to?

'Cause you're scared.

Of rejection.

You're scared that
if you do find her,

she may want nothing
to do with you,

just like your dad's parents
didn't want to have

anything to do with you because
your mother was Korean.

Well, why would my grandmother
want anything to do with me?

I mean, she abandoned my mother
in a Korean orphanage.

I-I don't even understand
why my mom

asked me to do this
in the first place.

She spent most of
my life trying to forget

she was even born here.

Well, people change.

Maybe your mother's idea
of this place did, too.

I mean, Matt, it was
your mother's dying wish

for you to find her.

Did you really just read me
at a crime scene?

Hey.

Profiler's gonna profile.

Hey, come take a look at this.

Red Petal Flowers.

Shine Sparkle Nails.

And Nina's.
That's where Else worked.

Yep. So, our unsub sat,
laid in wait,

and he picked off
his victims one by one.

It's the perfect
observation post.

And, oh, so convenient.
Mm-hmm.

It would require
patience, though,

which is in conflict

with the aggression
he showed towards his victims.

There's no sign
of a blitz attack,

so how did he lure them up here?

That's a good question.

You know, the way
the bodies were dumped,

it speaks to someone who's
sophisticated, organized.

And this room speaks to someone
who's disorganized.

I mean, it's a mess.
There's blood everywhere,

no effort to clean it up.

We're missing something.

Okay, Jack, I got some info
on Geonwoo Lee,

and let me tell you,
he is a piece of work.

He is the only son of one of the
richest men in Korea, Sang Lee,

who made billions in
the pharmaceutical industry

after retiring as a very
successful plastic surgeon.

Interesting.

I know, right?

So, according to school
records, Geonwoo went to Eton

and then to Cambridge.

He majored in economics
and was excelling,

some of his professors even
referring to him as brilliant.

That was until school officials
found his collection

of hardcore porn and snuff films

and then kicked him out
his senior year.

What's he been doing since?

Not much other than providing

reams of material for
Korean gossip sites,

mostly between him and women.

I see a series
of failed engagements,

some very bad behavior.

One of his exes
did come out and report

that he asked her to get
cheek and chin implants

to resemble one of his favorite
anime characters.

And she did it.
He then dumped her a week later.

The guy should come
with a warning label.

He should, yeah,

but he doesn't.

Um, seems that there is
another engagement,

this time to an American,
Lauren Barrett, age 25.

She's a pop star or something,
at least in Korea.

Looks like she was having
trouble breaking Stateside,

so her label taught
her some Korean

and repackaged her
as a K-Pop singer.

He single "Come Make Me a Woman"

shot to the top of iTunes Asia
charts last year.

All right.
Track Geonwoo's cell movements

for the past 48 hours.

See if he was in the area during
the time of the murders.

On it.

Geonwoo Lee just bought
a new loft

in the Myeong-dong District.

He may be there now.
I'll drive.

He's just getting dressed.

We'll wait.

Can I get anybody coffee?

Oh, they're not staying.

I'm Senior Inspector Joon-ho Kim
with Seoul PD.

These are Special Agents Garrett
and Seger from the FBI.

The FBI?
Like, from America, FBI?

Yeah, that's us.

We need you to come
with us downtown.

Oh, we're heading out to dinner.

I, uh, prefer to drop by
tomorrow, sometime after noon.

Your preference is irrelevant.

You're a person of interest

in the murders and mutilation
of three women.

Geon, why would they...

Fine.
This will be entertaining.

Push the reservation an hour
and, uh, have a martini waiting.

Let's go.

It's my duty to remind you

that you have a right
to an attorney.

Maybe you want the same one

who got you out of
that Dubai mess?

Oh, I don't need
to bother him with this.

You don't seem worried

that we're looking at you
for three murders.

Why would I be worried?

We have evidence
that three women

were tortured
in your office unit

along with your fingerprints
and your DNA.

Which would make sense,

considering I used
to work out of there.

Used to.

There was no evidence
of forced entry,

and that would suggest that
whoever was using it had a key.

The property company told me
you had all the keys,

that you were handling
the sale yourself,

so nobody else
would have had access.

It's a very compelling mystery.

So, how did you two meet?

Oh, it's the most amazing story.

So, about a year ago, I was
performing over at Z.A. Korea,

and I guess Geon
was in the audience.

And since his father,

he, like, owns the place
or something,

Geon felt comfortable

just walking into my
dressing room after the show.

Like, he didn't even knock.

I was barely dressed, so...

Wow. That, uh...
That sounds very intrusive.

It was... surprising,
like him.

He said he had to take me
to dinner that night.

It wasn't even a request,
you know?

And, um, that's when I knew.

Knew what?

That he was the one.

That he would take care
of me forever.

And he did.

My Prince Charming.

Is it true that you encouraged
most of the women

in your life to undergo
cosmetic procedures?

Now that I think about it,
I guess so.

I mean, if I'm going to be
staring at the same face

for a few hours a day,
I better like it, right?

I mean, he hasn't asked me
to do much,

if... if that's what
you're asking.

Of course, I can't
drink coffee anymore

after he paid for these veneers.

But that's okay.

Geon says caffeine
makes me jittery.

And he likes me calm.

I mean, sometimes he says that
I could have bigger, you know.

But why guy doesn't right?

I mean, now I get
filler in my lips,

but, like, everybody does that.

Geon says he likes
when they look pump.

Makes him want to bite them off.

What am I looking at here?

Barbara Walker,
Jessica Townsend,

and Elsa Byquist.

And why am I looking at them?

So we can see your reaction.

And your lack of
reaction tells me

you're more than capable
of something like this.

Maybe do.

Where were you two nights ago

between the hours of
10:00 PM and 2:00 AM?

In bed.

With Lauren.

Would you like the details?

Just ask her.

Lauren: Yeah, it's true.

He was with me all night,
right here.

All night.

And there's no chance

that he snuck out
while you were sleeping?

No, no.

Because I didn't...
I didn't sleep that night.

Insomnia, you know?

Hmm.
When did that start?

Uh, it's kind of
off and on, so...

Lauren, I think
you're lying to me.

Geonwoo was supposed to be
with you, but he wasn't.

That's why you couldn't sleep.

You know, missing fiancés

are often a common cause
of insomnia.

He wasn't missing.
He came back.

Bet he does that a lot, right?

Sneaks out in the middle
of the night?

And when he finally comes home,
you ask him where he's been,

and the answer's
always the same.

Business.

But it's not business.

It is business.

What else could it be?

Inspector, you're making
a mistake.

You sure you want to do this?

Look at your American boss here.

Even he doesn't think I did it.

Do you?

I can take it from here.

Thank you for your help.

Inspector Kim,

I know you don't want
to hear this,

but Geonwoo's correct.

I don't believe he did this.

But he has no alibi.

He's the only one with
the access to the space

where three women
were tortured and killed,

and he has a history of abuse.

What else do you need?

Geonwoo's a dominant assertive

who enjoys the power
he has over women.

Seduction is part of the game.

But my team established that
the person who did this

stalks their victims while
trying to remain hidden.

It's the opposite
of what Geonwoo would do.

So, you think he's innocent?

No, I think he's a sociopath,

a sadist who's connected
to all this in some way.

I just don't know how yet.

But a rush to judgment can
obscure the path to justice.

♪ ♪

I can't say I'm not surprised
Joon-ho didn't listen to you.

His concern over our
involvement in the case

is clouding his judgment.

Simmons: Yeah, but that's not
the only reason.

You were right, Jack.

He does have a history
with Geonwoo.

Yeah, I thought their exchange
at the end seemed personal.

What's the connection?

Well, he's been after him
ever since he was in vice

and Geonwoo was accused

of cutting a prostitute
when he was 15.

So, Joon-ho thinks he's finally
landed his white whale.

Too bad he's wrong.

So, what do we do?
We keep going.

Now that Geonwoo's lawyered up,

it'll be even harder to find
his connection to all this.

Go ahead, Monty.

Well, I've been tracking
Geonwoo's cell like you asked,

and on the night
of Elsa's murder,

Geonwoo wasn't in
the Itaewon District.

It was in the Gangnam Distinct.

That's across the river.

How specifically were
you able to pinpoint him?

- Down to a block.
- Okay, Geonwoo was lying

when he said he was with Lauren
on the night of Elsa's murder,

but he was telling the truth
saying he wasn't

in Itaewon when she was killed?

What was he doing on Gangnam?

Monty, text the coordinates
to Simmons.

Go check it out.

♪ ♪

Guess where Geonwoo was on
the night of Elsa's murder.

- Where?
- He was on a date.

Just sent you a security still.

Mae:
Well, that's not Lauren.

Wait, you're saying
Geonwoo's alibi

is that he was cheating
on his fiancée?

It appears so.

Well, why would Geonwoo
lie about his alibi

when it can be so easily proven?

Simple.

He wanted to continue his
relationship with both women.

And he assumed Lauren,

a dependent with low self-esteem
who has connected

her entire self-worth to the man
would never negate what he says.

It's hard to believe
he didn't give it up

once they took him into custody.

He's just amusing himself,
waiting to turn

that card over until it would
most embarrass Joon-ho.

Okay. He's got an alibi,
so he's not our unsub.

What is going on?

Someone wants us to think
that Geonwoo is guilty

of these crimes,
even though he's not.

I think he's being framed.

Yeah, but who would do that.

Well, considering his
scorched-earth policy

with women, it could be an ex...

You know,
somebody's he's wronged,

somebody who expected
more from him.

Has he ever been engaged?

Numerous times.

Monty, I need you
to get me a list

of all of Geonwoo's
broken engagements

or any other
high-profile breakups

with South Korean women.
Monty: On it.

We thought that the way
the bodies were dumped

spoke to an organized
male offender,

and considering that 90% of
all serial killers are male,

it was a pretty good bet...

But now I'm thinking the way
the bodies were dumped

plus the chaos we found
in the lair,

that suggests a disorganized
female offender.

And females usually take more
care in disposing of the bodies,

whether they're organized
or disorganized.

If we are looking at one of
Geonwoo's exes for this,

then what's the mutilation of
the victims' faces all about?

There's no psychosexual
reason for it.

Well, he had a history
of demanding

that his girlfriends
physically alter themselves.

So, maybe the unsub is a women

that he encouraged
to do the same,

and these victims are some type
of self-surrogates.

♪ ♪

Okay, I have two possibilities.

One, Eun-chae Pak,
is a lingerie model.

She was engaged to Geonwoo
back in 2010.

The other is Su-bin Yoo.

She's a South Korean
real-estate agent.

She was engaged to Geonwoo
about a year ago.

Either of them have a history
of getting plastic surgery

once they became
involved with him?

Uh, medical records
will take a minute,

but while we're waiting,
get this...

Su-bin Yoo used to work for
the same real-estate company

that sold Geonwoo
the lair office.

- Bingo.
- She could have kept a key.

Means she would have
had access to it.

Yes.
And she would also know

when he took the office
off the market

and that it was standing vacant.

Monty, any idea
where she is now?

Monty: Negative.

She deleted all
of her social media

after the engagement
to Geonwoo ended.

What's weird is that she never
got back online.

I've got no social media
presence from her...

Not for work, not for anything.

She scrubbed herself out.

Yeah, but why?

Who is it?

Mae: Hey, I have something
interesting here.

Based on Lauren's Twitter feed,
it seems that she started

dating Geonwoo while he was
still engaged to Su-bin.

Well, that'd piss her off.

Didn't Geonwoo and Lauren just
announce their engagement?

What if Su-bin found out that
he had moved on to Lauren,

a blonde with naturally
Caucasian features,

like the one Geonwoo
has pressed so many

of his ex-girlfriends to have,
including probably Su-bin?

Well, that would explain
her choice of blondes.

They're surrogates
for the competition.

I don't know. What if the
victims aren't just surrogates?

Those stitches that
I found in Elsa's face

suggested a refinement.

I don't think that
these mutilations

are just sadistic bloodlust.

I think she was practicing
for her true competition.

Lauren.

I was just allowed access to
Su-bin's Korean medical records.

I've got evidence of extensive
plastic surgery.

Sending you photos now.

Wow.
Check this out.

Simmons: Oh.

Well, that explains why
she stalked her victims

from the inside.

No one will go near her
looking like that.

It would also explain why she
dropped off the Internet.

Mae:
And look what she had done.

Eye-widening surgery,
several nose jobs.

Her chin was shaved down.
Just like the victims.

First operation took place

three weeks before Geonwoo
broke up with her.

What if she did all
of this for him?

The results weren't perfect,
so he dumped her.

Breakup probably triggered some
type of body dysmorphia,

and so she continued

to have these procedures
despite the fact that

they were destroying her face.

So, she's a trauma-induced
revenge-driven sadist

exorcising her own pain

while also hoping
to make Geonwoo suffer.

Knowing Geonwoo,
I bet he wasn't gentle with her.

Probably made her feel ruined.

Explains why the bodies
were left by the trash.

It wasn't just a countermeasure.

It's symbolic.
He made Su-bin feel like

a monster, so now she wants
Lauren to feel her pain.

What is she saying?

"I make them pretty like me."
Over and over.

Tell her to drop the knife,
or she will get shot.

Oh, my gosh.

What did you pack
in these things?

Uh, rocks or books.

I can't remember.

Inspector.

Agents.

I owe you an apology.

You were right.

I rushed to judgment.

We understand this wasn't

the first time
you've crossed with Geonwoo.

No. I've watched
as he's grown bolder

and more brutal over the years,
always assuming

that his father's influence
would protect him.

But that doesn't excuse the fact
that I refused to listen,

and that almost cost another
innocent women her life.

Inspector Kim, we all agree
that Geonwoo's a terrible person

who deserves to pay
for what he did.

Which is why I reached out
to the Ambassador.

Geonwoo's being extradited
to Dubai as we speak.

He'll face charges for what
he did to that woman

plus extra penalties because
he's a fugitive of the law.

He's gonna go away
for a long time.

You are as good as they say.

I'll remember that
