Goodbye.

HUNTER WITH A SCALPEL

FINAL EPISODE

Ah, crap.

This is practically a mini autopsy room.

They even have all the equipment ready.

Call forensics and ask them to run tests right away.

Yes, got it.

Sae Eun-ah

Daddy...

Daddy loves you so much, Sae Eun.

You found your way here well, huh?

Did you wait long?

Wow, nothing here has changed at all.

Was it over there?

Where we buried Jeong Mi?

Yes, we've found Yoon Jo Kyun's truck.

But Sae Eun wasn't here either.

Please help me.

Help me, please.

That’s not just a watch.

When you need help,

It's a very special watch that lets you call someone.

Sae Eun...

Did you kill her?

Why is she so important to you?

Ugh...

The sea breeze is still quite chilly.

Let’s go now. Dad prepared a boat.

Let’s start over again.

Why should I?

Because of you, the police are all over the place.

It's not because of me, it's because of you!

And what about you?

You think you're any different?

Just because you showed up on TV and talked a bit...

You think people will believe everything you say, understand you?

Is that what you think?

When you were

probing,

digging,

stitching and cutting,

who was with you?

That detective bastard?

Or that senile old woman?

It was me.

Only me!

I was by your side.

You're special.

You're not like other people.

Only Dad understands how special you are

and can love you.

Who do you think will stay by your side?

In the end...

It's only me.

Understanding?

Love?

It's more than that.

It hurt a lot, didn’t it?

Have you tracked Chief Seo’s location?

We’ve confirmed that he passed through Mujin tollgate.

Meanwhile, there was a report of a smuggler boat owner

being found murdered near Mujin.

Estimated time of death: about an hour ago.

On the victim’s phone,

we found a recording where Yoon Jo Kyun booked two seats.

We’ve already requested support from the coastal police.

So from the start...

he never intended to take Sae Eun.

That’s most likely the case.

And if there was no child in the truck,

he probably abandoned her somewhere nearby.

Your team will handle the search for now,

but you should head straight here.

I have to go.

If I don’t go...

We might never find the evidence or Sae Eun’s body.

Hey, Chief Jung, are you listening?

See the big button on the right?

Press it hard, and a red button will pop up.

Then...

someone will come to rescue you.

MESSAGE SENT

Help me.

Help me!

Hey, Chief Jung!

Wait a second.

PLEASE HELP ME – MESSAGE FROM SEO SE HYEON

The watch I gave you…

You should’ve used it.

I gave it to that kid instead.

She has a lot in common with me.

Not sure if she’ll use it, though.

PLEASE HELP ME – MESSAGE FROM SEO SE HYEON

Team leader.

We’ve found Sae Eun’s location.

I’ll go to the child, so please take care of Chief Seo.

Yes.

Let’s go.

HIGH-ALERT MEDICATION

If we had done this sooner…

Eun Seo unni…

and Sae Eun…

might still be alive.

Ah, stop joking and give it here.

Dad…

Bye.

Hey…

Sae Eun-ah, hey…

Sae Eun-ah, hey!

Let’s never…

meet again.

No…

Sae Eun-ah!

Sae Eun-ah!

Sae Eun-ah!

Sae Eun-ah, where are you?

MESSAGE SENT

Sae Eun-ah!

Sae Eun-ah!

– Sae Eun-ah! – Sae Eun-ah! Yoon Sae Eun!

Sae Eun-ah, where are you?

Damn it. Where the hell is she?

Sae Eun-ah!

Sae Eun-ah, can you hear me?

Sae Eun-ah!

Yoon Sae…

Sae Eun-ah!

Se… Sunbae-nim…

Sunbae-nim!

She moved, she moved!

Uh, over here!

Sae Eun-ah…

Can you hear my voice?

Mister…

I'm a friend of Se Hyeon unni.

You know Seo Se Hyeon unni, right?

Se Hyeon unni…

asked me to please save you no matter what.

So…

you can’t fall asleep.

Did you really think

I’d die before you?

Don’t worry.

I’m not stupid enough to inject a lethal dose like someone else.

I still have…

a lot I want to do.

Starting now,

I'll open you up the way you taught me.

I'll cut your abdomen open,

remove all the organs…

then the eyeballs,

tongue,

and finally, peel the skin.

That’s the right order, isn’t it?

Can you hear me?

Seo Se Hyeon-ssi!

Seo Se Hyeon-ssi, don’t!

Seo Se Hyeon-ssi!

Sae Eun is safe!

Team Leader Jung found her!

Please calm down!

Sae Eun is alive.

Sae Eun is alive!

Thanks for saving Sae Eun.

If I ever have something to be proud of…

I’ll visit holding Sae Eun’s hand.

Because…

that would be the most painful thing for Dad.

It’s a muscle relaxant.

It won’t affect his life.

Commonly known as the “Tailor Case,”

this has stirred the entire nation over the past 24 days.

The suspects of the Yongcheon serial murders...

Seo Se Hyeon and Yoon Jo Kyun—have finally been apprehended.

Suspect Yoon Jo Kyun

was found at the scene with fatal injuries from a physical altercation

with fellow suspect Seo Se Hyeon,

and was immediately transported to the hospital.

The victim of this case,

a ten-year-old girl who had been held hostage by Yoon Jo Kyun…

You’re all being fooled.

That woman is the real killer.

That woman did this to our Mr. Choi— This is the second time now.

She pinned everything on Mr. Choi to save herself!

Seeing you again…

is a pleasure.

Why didn’t you

tell us that Yoon Jo Kyun sent you a message?

Why did you go alone?

We could’ve discussed it,

and solved it together.

When I saw Sae Eun’s school uniform,

I made up my mind...

I had to end this cycle with my own hands.

Then…

you really intended to kill him?

Yes.

Together with him,

I would have died too.

This time, I really…

wanted to end it for good.

How’s Sae Eun?

Is she doing okay?

Yes.

She’s recovering very fast.

She’s eating well too.

According to the truck investigation,

all the Yongcheon cases

were confirmed to be Yoon Jo Kyun’s crimes.

However,

forgery of the NFS report, the Kwon Hyung Jo case,

and unauthorized escape during hospitalization...

you’ll still have to face trial for those.

You left out attempted murder.

That…

could reasonably be interpreted as self-defense, factually speaking.

Still,

it won’t erase the truth that I wanted to kill him like crazy.

That feeling won’t disappear.

Please don’t worry too much.

There’ll be plenty of leniency in the judgment.

Thank you, Team Leader.

Thanks to your consideration,

I know the investigation will proceed without detention.

Well, that’s…

Ah, I’ve also been introduced

to a really good lawyer who can help with the trial.

Hold on a moment.

My daughter, you’re here?

Mom…

Why is it so hard to see your face these days?

Were you that busy?

Your face looks so worn out.

Why?

Did something happen?

It’s okay.

Everything will be fine.

My daughter

is such a good girl.

Ah, damn it! Seriously, f...

- This way! - Yes!

Hey!

Ugh, damn cops!

Ah, ah, bastard.

Okay, okay, okay.

Wow, damn…

Shit…

Shit…

Don’t come any closer, damn it! I swear!

Shit!

Argh!

Didn’t I tell you I’d catch you?

We’re handing over the thief!

Sir!

What the—? Whoa.

What’s going on?

We caught him red-handed stealing,

and retrieved the stolen goods on the spot.

Please leave the follow-up investigation to Violent Crimes.

Hey, Kwon Hyung Jo, you again?

Wow, this guy seriously…

Man, get a grip.

Can you be a little gentler, please?

- What are you doing? - Uh, I…

He’s stuck, damn… tch.

Wow, the uniform suits you pretty well, huh?

How’s life at the precinct?

Hey, Jung Jung Hyun.

You idiot, if it’s theft, it goes to Criminal! Why’d you bring him to Violent Crimes again?

Oh, come on.

Why?

This way I get to see the Chief one more time.

This punk just hit me?

What did you learn out there that you ended up like this?

You punk, did you just push me?

Why? I learned well.

What, pushing people is "learning well"?

Did something good happen or what?

Seriously.

You look like you’re in a great mood.

Something good?

Yes, there is.

Yup, this one fits right.

The last one was way too loose.

Anyway, I might grow taller next year, that’s why.

Just wear what fits now.

No, I liked the one from before way better.

Sae-eun.

Ahjussi!

Did something happen?

You look totally down.

No, it’s just I’ll grow taller soon.

But unnie keeps saying I should buy the one that fits now.

Hey, that means you’ve grown already.

Ugh, how would unnie know that?

Three name tags, right?

Are three name tags really enough?

Yeah, they’re enough.

Ta-da!

SOO SAE-EUN

How do I look?

Wow.

It suits you. You look really pretty.

Please include the one that’s a size bigger too— that’s the one she said she liked earlier.

Ah, yes.

Let me see.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

Tch.

9108, you have a visitor.

I'm here.

Unnie.

I...

was too late, wasn’t I?

I'm sorry.

Thank you.
