- Hello, sir.
- Sir.

- Hello, sir.
- Sir.

Why are you all standing outside?

You should go inside.

He was in a hurry.

He just did it impulsively.
This isn't his style.

He took the hard drive.

No weapons discovered. There wasn't
even a strand of hair left behind.

He talked about how we used
to go to the beach together.

He said

he was happy back then.

Do you remember it too?

No.

I assume that woman is you,

and that boy is Min-jae.

It's you.

That boy standing next to me is you.

Min-jae…

was watching us from over here.

He was envious of you…

and he longed for me

to take care of him.

Bro, I'm supposed to meet up
with Jo-i soon.

Don't forget to thank me later for this.

She is on my way to my studio now.
You'd better hurry up. Okay?

Up until the end,

he tried to help me.

That perp will call again.

We must catch that scum.

Please help me.

I'll think like you.

I'll act as if I were you.

I will think like Jeong I-shin

and act like Jeong I-shin.

Please help us catch him.

WOONGSAN
SERIAL MURDER CASE FILE 1

AUTOPSY REPORT

VICTIM SONG BYEONG-CHEOL'S
CRIME SCENE

Welcome home.

It's been a while.

It's really late.

They need me for an urgent review.

It's not like that dead person
is going anywhere.

Jeez.

Acknowledging aid from someone
presumed dead is burdensome enough.

When they find out about Su-yeol,
damage control will be

virtually impossible, no?

Would Seung-pyo…

Would the commissioner

take the fall?

That was the condition Jeong I-shin set

in exchange for consulting on the case.

I shouldn't have accepted it.

Even now, I still can't tell

if I'm doing the right thing.

I messed up, didn't I?

Yesterday, a man in his 40s,
the breadwinner of his family,

hung himself in the house that made him
a victim of a real estate scam.

They couldn't find a suicide note,
so they even did an autopsy.

Eventually, they did find one,

and in it, he just apologized over
and over, begging for forgiveness.

It wasn't even his fault.

Right?

But the only thing
I could write down in his autopsy report

was "death by hanging."

Just those three words.

If I had been allowed
to share how I felt on that report…

What I'm trying to say is

we can't let emotions get in the way
in our line of work.

If you do, it just gets
ridiculously complicated.

Since you're here anyway,
you should snuggle with the kids.

With intention
and some heartfelt emotions.

Will do. Drive safely.

Bye.

- And the SOU?
- They're on standby.

You know what to do, right?

Stall as long as you can.

You can't upset him in any way.

BLOCKED NUMBER

Answer it.

Hello.

Who's calling?

It's me. As if you didn't know.

The webtoon artist.

Was that you?

Of course. Who else could it be?

Oh, I see…

It just felt so unpolished.

It wasn't done in either of our styles.

There was just a whole bunch of mirrors
and some terribly sloppy painting,

leaving behind an obnoxious signature
for all to see.

It was quite a scene.

All that talk
about the "final scene" or whatever…

Was all that just fluff?

What's she doing?

How was that scene not final?

He croaked while painting a scene.
That was his "final scene."

I haven't laughed like that
in a long while.

You wish to remind everyone of my legacy?

You?

I would never.

You're just some lame excuse
for a copycat.

- Wait.
- What was that?

Captain Cha.

There we go.

La-dee-da.

Hey.

So clingy.

You're about to be so jealous of me.

Why?

I'm getting curious.

Guess.

You're in prison, and I'm out here.

You can't, but I can.

The fourth?

"The fourth."

Kang Yeong-ho
from the coal miners' housing.

His nose was seared with a hot spoon,

and all four of his limbs were broken,
before bleeding to death.

That's right. The fourth.

If I'm being honest,
I rushed a bit last time.

Can't deny it.

My deepest apologies.

That one was spontaneous,

but the next one will be the real deal.

It's right around the corner.

I dare you to hang up on me again.

Sorry.

Did you prepare the spoon?
That's important.

I got everything.

I even got a hand torch.

Excellent.

This almost makes it feel like
we're doing this together.

I feel that too.

You know the order, right?

I do.

Oh, so well.

Are you sure that woman
is helping us right now?

What the? Who's that?

Oh, he's here.

See you later.

Ji-an.

Check that footage
and find out where that is.

- Yes, sir.
- Once we're there,

we'll secure the security office,
the entrance, and the parking lot.

Review the building's visitor log
from the past 30 minutes,

and see if any of them follow Jo-i.

- You heard him.
- Yes.

Here we go.

This is Bae Sung-gyu from Major Crimes
requesting SOU backup.

I found it.

Just a moment.

ESTO PREMIER HOTEL

Esto Premier Hotel.

Esto Premier Hotel in Yeonho-dong. Thanks.

- Okay. Hurry up.
- Yes, sir.

Captain Cha.

Only a fool would expect
to catch him without bloodshed.

No.

I don't expect to.

You must think

like him, like me, Jeong-ho.

SOU is on its way.
They should arrive within ten minutes.

Ji-an will remain behind
and log on to the hotel's intranet.

She'll search through their CCTV footage.

We're on our way.

Tell Jeong I-shin to stall
as long as she can.

Captain Cha asked you
to buy them some time.

Be patient. Let him wake up
from the anesthesia first.

You know my style.

I didn't use any.

He likes being tied up.

He even brought his own stockings.

It's not fun if it's too easy.

Today's gear includes

a hammer made in Korea.

You need to calm down.

Calm down already.

We're just getting started.

Why are you so scared?

Make way.

Police coming through.

Police. Where's the security office?

It's that way.

- Make way.
- I'm with the police.

- Please make way.
- What's going on?

We're connected
to the hotel's CCTV system.

Where is this room?

That's a studio suite room.

Out of our 194 rooms, 57 of them
are studio suite rooms.

What are the floors?

They span the 3rd through the 13th floors.

Can you tell us which ones are occupied?

Mystiy Night is performing nearby.

A group reservation
has us at full occupancy.

They all checked in 30 minutes ago.

Most of them should be in their rooms now.

Pairs of SOU officers can start
on 13 and sweep downward.

- Sung-gyu, lead that.
- Okay.

Detective Kim and I will start
from 3 and move up.

Hyuk, you seal off possible escape routes.

Sir. The victim is already in danger.

Let's seal the escape routes
and ring the alarm.

We need to save the victim first.

We're just starting our search
from floors 3 and 13.

What if he hears the alarm
and bolts from another floor?

We can't risk that.

We must catch the culprit.

Quickly.

Room number 1305, 1304, 1312,
1317 to 1320, and 1322.

Check every one of them.

- Yes, sir.
- Let's go.

Room number 304, 305, 312,
317 to 320, and 322.

- Move out.
- Yes, sir.

Pardon us. We're with the police.

My apologies. I'm with the police.

Sorry. Enjoy your stay.

Police. Pardon us.

Pardon us. We're with the police.

We're with the police.
Pardon us for a second.

Thank you.

That's a workout.

What do you want to see next?

His arms? Or maybe his legs?

The neck will be over too quickly. Right?

Ji-an, are you done with the CCTV footage?

Yes.

None of the guests appears
on Jo-i's list of followers.

The highlight of today.

The spoon

and hand torch duo.

Hold on. What about the mirrors?

Today is just for you.

I will faithfully emulate your style.

What? You don't need to do all that.

I know the police are there with you.

If you try to stall
or pull some other nonsense…

Don't be absurd.

All right. This is my favorite part.

All possible escape routes are sealed off.

He'll die at this rate.

Sir.

The escape routes are sealed.
Let's just ring the alarm now.

Captain Cha.

He's following the same M.O.
as the murder 23 years ago.

Captain Cha.

If we ring the alarm,

he'll catch on and flee.

Even if he does, we can catch him.

All escape routes are sealed.

As long as he doesn't jump off the roof,
we'll be able to catch him,

even if he's on another floor.

He will end up dead at this rate!

Some bloodshed will be inevitable
if we want to catch the culprit.

- Okay?
- What does that mean?

Stop.

Just stop for a minute.

You must think

like him, like me, Jeong-ho.

Sir.

CCTV cameras on the fourth floor
were turned off two hours ago.

Room 418.

What?

It's Room 418.

Block off all entry points
to the fourth floor.

Here comes the finale!

Sir!

- What's going on?
- What the?

Don't push. Remain calm.

Make way.

Please remain calm.

We're with the police. Please make way.

The perp's dressed like the guests.

Please stick to the walls. Police.

Coming through.
Please stick to the walls.

You need to make way.

Coming through.

Please make way.

Coming through. Be careful.

Call for an ambulance now.

Sir.

Can you hear me?

I'm with the police.

Sir?

Sir, it's all over now. Don't worry.

Show yourself!

Captain Cha!

Sir, are you all right?

There…

AMBULANCE

Sir.

The victim's name is Son Hyeon-ho.
He followed Jo-i.

He's the general manager here.

He got away because we assumed
the victim would be a guest.

Luckily, the victim is still alive.

Good job today.

But did Captain Cha
ring the alarm earlier?

Wow. Look at his quick thinking.

It was me.

He didn't want to.
He thought it would make the perp flee.

What?

He said, catching him
would involve some bloodshed.

What the hell has gotten into him?

Park Min-jae.

What?

Min-jae, you can't die.

Wake up!

You need to wake up, Min-jae!

I will think like Jeong I-shin

and act like Jeong I-shin.

Please help us catch him.

Sung-gyu.

See if you can find any dirt on Cha.

- Captain Cha?
- Yeah.

See if you can find out

why he was suddenly transferred
to our team from Narcotics.

And why it had to be him.

Find out what his relationship
with Park Min-jae is,

and why he did a complete 180 recently.

How can you be late again?

Sorry.

Considering your son's condition

and his young age,

custody will most likely go
to you, his mother.

Okay.

But still, be careful.
The custody evaluator will be present.

Understood.

My apologies.

- Frog back legs.
- Hello.

Frog back legs.

Ho-jun, can you tell me
how many people live in your house?

Are those people here right now?

Wow, what an excellent drawing.

Did you draw this, Ho-jun?

Who is this?

Then, who is this?

Wow. Well done.

Then, where is your mommy?

So, this is your mommy.

Ma'am, please ask him if he's happier

with his mom or dad. Thank you.

Hold on. That was never on the agenda.

No.

Ho-jun is stressed enough as it is.

- A question like that will be…
- We must ask.

No, you can't.

Can we conclude here?

Ho-jun must be quite distressed already.

You can ask him.

Wait, honey.

Ma'am.

Please ask him.

You almost got him.

"Almost"?

He almost killed someone.

The victim is still alive.

You probably don't care.

This was in Yeonpo.

Do you remember?

The three of us,

including Min-jae,
used to spend the whole day at the beach.

I added Min-jae to the painting.

I remember the beach.

Would he be happy about that?

This was taken at the hotel crime scene.

And…

this is the file for the fourth murder
you committed 23 years ago.

WOONGSAN SERIAL MURDER CASE
FILE 4

He tried to recreate this murder.

Compare the two incidents,

and let me know if you find something.

I can't go back there.

Do what you will with it.

You know this song, don't you?

He even hummed
the same song from 23 years ago.

How did he know about this?

It wasn't mentioned
in your confession, either.

- He was at the scene.
- He was at the scene.

Right?

He was there.

He watched you at the scene of the crime.

Then, why didn't he

report it to the police later?

Because I made his wish come true?

These two stab wounds

weren't my doing.

They were 1.5 cm wide.

They were shallow wounds.

These could've been made
with a small blade like a box cutter.

That was the best
he could do, even with full force.

He must have been hiding
in a wardrobe or something.

After I left,

his resentment must have led him
to stab the corpse even more…

The victim had

a wife and young son.

He had just two family members.

If they were shallow wounds…

Do you remember that mining town?

Yes.

There was a boy
who was always walking around.

Mommy!

That boy used to carry around
a dead cat as if it were a stuffed animal.

His body was covered
in all sorts of wounds.

One side of his nose was even deformed,
due to a terrible burn injury.

Kang Yeong-ho.

He locked his son up in the bathroom
and made him consume human waste.

The boy was chained at the ankles.

Eventually,

he couldn't even stand the boy breathing,
so he heated up a spoon over a fire

and brought it to the boy's nose.

How could he do that to his son?

Your daddy tried to kill you too.

He was 12 years old at the time.

Kang Yeon-joong is his name.

That boy must have watched me
at the scene.

In that boy's eyes,

I was the one who made
his long-held wish come true.

It's no wonder he was curious about me.

That must have led him

to finding out about you

and your family.

Your home.

Jung-yeon.

I'm saying your wife is in danger.

Chief Choi.

I need a security detail right now.

For Jung-yeon. Yes.

It appears the culprit
even hummed the same tune

as Jung I-shin had

at her crime scene 23 years ago.

The fact that he knew about this

means that he witnessed her crime.

He could've even been hiding nearby.

Kang Yeong-ho,

her murder victim 23 years ago, had a son.

The abuse that boy endured was so heinous,

some members of the media
even defended Jeong I-shin.

This is Kang Yeon-joong, his son.

He appears to be
the true perpetrator behind this case.

KANG YEON-JOONG

This is his resident registration card.

But…

this is the only record
of him I could find.

His mother was admitted
to a nursing hospital

due to alcohol-induced dementia
around this time.

But after that,
he never even had a change of address.

He has no bank accounts or credit cards.

He must've hired somebody
to make him a new identity or something.

Even I wouldn't keep that name.

His time with that name

must've been hell on earth.

Do you have an address
for his mother's nursing hospital?

It's in Sangbong. It's not far.

Text me the address.

You two can question

the victim's acquaintances.

- Okay.
- Let's go.

Right. That's exactly why.

He doesn't care one bit about human lives.

All he cares about is getting credit.

Why do we catch criminals?

We're trying to avoid more victims--

Did you even ask him?

What?

Did you ask Captain Cha if he did that

for credit, or if he was just trying to do
whatever it took to avoid more victims?

- I mean…
- The culprit got away.

What are you trying to say?

There he is.

Aren't we all on the same team?

Whatever.

Digging for dirt on a fellow team member…

I'm out. Knock yourself out.

"Knock myself out"?

That punk thinks
he can disrespect me like that?

Fine. I'll knock myself out.

Yes, that's right. Kang Yeon-joong.

Have you seen your son recently?

Yeon-joong?

My son?

He needs to flee.

My husband is hunting him down.

Why?

Yeon-joong needs to flee.

Why?

Why does Kang Yeon-joong need to flee?

Ma'am.

Ma'am!

Sir,

may I have a word?

Is there anything you can recall?

We believe the victim met her.

Well, the thing is, he's a close friend.

Your friend is in the ICU
because of this perp.

We need to catch the culprit.

You can just tell us
whatever you remember.

It's okay.

If I'm being honest, he does have
a bit of a sleazy side.

He was subscribed to all sorts of apps,
and he hooked up with all sorts of women.

Her too?

Yes.

Take a look at this.

He went on and on
about how excited he was about this chick.

And then, just radio silence.

I'm a man too.
It's only natural for me to be curious.

So, I bought him a glass of wine or two,
and started poking him.

That's when he finally told me the truth.

That he stepped in some real shit.

- "Real shit"?
- Yeah.

What do you mean?

Oh, her face?

He said she had the looks.

I mean, the pictures on her profile
were all definitely fake.

But apparently,
that's just common in this app.

Most people don't have
face pics on their profiles.

But the real issue was…

So ridiculous…

Wait, should I even be sharing all this?

Why not? We're the police.

You can relax.

Sir, repeat after me.

"Frog back legs."

Where did that come from?

Just try it.

"Frog back legs."

Smile at the end of "legs."

"Frog back legs."

- "Legs."
- "Legs."

People like her tend to pay more attention
to people's expressions

than the words they are saying.

That's why.

"Frog back legs."

Right.

That insane bastard met women here,
secretly at his workplace.

- Jo-i too?
- Yeah.

Jo-i asked him to turn off
all the lights as soon as they entered.

And that's when he felt something off.

But he didn't want to look like a punk,

so he just let her.

And then?

Did she threaten
or intimidate him in any way?

The opposite.

- "The opposite"?
- Yeah.

In the middle of "doing the deed,"

she suddenly asked him to choke her.

- She did?
- Yeah.

He just assumed she had
a bit of a freaky side,

so he just pretended to.

But she suddenly started shouting,
"Harder! Choke me harder!"

She kept pushing him even more.

Then, he got scared
about actually harming her,

so he stopped there.

And then, he came up with some sort
of excuse and bolted out of there.

Anything else?

What else…

What scared him the most

was when he was choking her,

she entered a state of frenzy,
and asked him

to just kill her.

She told him if he did,
he'd be saving a lot of people.

Isn't that just so creepy?

That's why he stopped.

Ma'am.

You see,

I ask because I'm really curious.

Can you tell me

why Yeon-joong needs to flee?

He killed Dallae.

Can you tell me who Dallae is?

The dog.

The next-door neighbor's dog.

A puppy.

It sounds like she's a bit mixed up.

Ma'am.

Yeon-joong.

Have you seen him recently?

When?

Just now.

Pardon?

He's dolled up again.

To become a girl.

He put on makeup again.

He needs to flee.

My husband is coming.

Excuse me.

By chance, did she have
another visitor before us?

Yes, she left
right before you two got here.

Yes, Detective Kim.

They have a visitors' log,
but their CCTV is broken.

According to the nurses and receptionists,

she had a hoodie and a mask on,

but she was definitely a woman.

A woman?

Yes.

Yes?

Nothing to report.

Sure.

Keep up the good work.

She said Kang Yeon-joong was there.

With her severe dementia,

it's difficult to question her.

Even if Kang Yeon-joong really was there,

there's no way to verify it.

Well…

I thought about it.

Kang Yeon-joong's mother

may not always be lucid,

but everything she told us may be true.

What do you mean?

She claimed he was her son,

that he carried around
a cat or dog he killed,

and that he wore makeup.

If all of that is true,

I'm not sure

if this is some sort of response
to his father's abuse

or if he had long experienced
gender dysphoria,

but what I'm sure of is this.

Kang Yeon-joong had displayed

antisocial behavior since he was a child.

He could have experienced gender dysphoria

as a sort of trauma response
to his abusive childhood.

If that's the case,

now, after 23 years,

Kang Yeon-joong's appearance may be

completely different.
He may have even transitioned.

So, you're saying

the woman who visited the nursing hospital

could be Kang Yeon-joong a.k.a. Jo-i?

Come on now. That's a bit far-fetched, no?

You said it yourself.

Kang Yeon-joong's childhood
was no different from hell on earth.

With that in mind,

Kang Yeon-joong's trauma response

may have been
to reinvent his identity entirely.

The trauma was so hellish,

that rebirth as a whole new person

became his only means of survival?

LOOKING FOR A CLINIC THAT DOESN'T
REQUIRE A PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT

OR GENDER DYSPHORIA
CERTIFICATION

Jeez.

We suspect this person

may have undergone plastic surgery,
and now looks like one of these pictures.

Have you seen anyone who resembled
any of these faces you see here?

ITAEWON

Thank you for meeting with me.

Gender confirmation surgery

tends to be a long
and arduous process in Korea.

Even after being diagnosed
with code F64.0, gender dysphoria,

by a psychiatrist,

you need to go through hormone treatment
for six months to a year.

Then, did you also have to…

Yes. I had mine done in Thailand.

By chance, do you recognize her?

I do not.

After all, I'm not friends
with every transgender woman in the world.

It appears she may have gone overseas
for easier surgical access.

The surgery can involve
a range of potential complications,

and long-term post-op care is essential.

After she got back,

she must've seen a doctor for post-op care
or additional feminizing surgery.

Sir.

This is the list of clinics.

Let's see.

Clinics that specialize in feminizing
and gender confirmation surgeries.

LUMINOUS PLASTIC SURGERY

He went out of his way to drive home

Park Min-jae, a suspect in the case.

And his wailing of "Min-jae!"

proves they shared a close, personal bond.

And now, his cherished friend
has been murdered.

Man…

The world is crawling
with Jeong I-shin copycats.

Just look at these drawings.

Here.

I'm not sure.

It would be a bit difficult
to identify someone with this.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Then, by any chance,

disregarding these photos,

have there been any patients
who seemed a bit unusual?

Excuse me. Detective.

Yes?

I used to work at another clinic.

And you met her there?

Yes.

That clinic was well-known
in the community,

and a lot of its patients
were members of the community.

Botched surgery overseas

can even lead to pelvic necrosis.

I've seen my share
of critical care patients as well.

But even with the risk of death,

they go through with the surgery.

Some have told me

they have lived their whole lives
with female souls, trapped in male bodies.

This was their path to happiness.

And what about her?

That patient was
a bit different from the others.

Of course, she was also happy

about having a body that reflected

who she truly was.

But I also heard her muttering to herself.

"It's such an advantage that society
doesn't see women as threats."

Pardon?

You heard, right?

I think she's the perp.

I got the clinic and the doctor
that nurse used to work for.

It's hard to believe she'd go so far
as gender confirmation

for the sake of making murder easier.

But I'm certain she actually
exploited that line of thinking.

This is our perp.

Hyuk.

According to that nurse,

the clinic has closed,
so we need to find the doctor.

Once we do, we can catch our perp.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Jeong I-shin…

and Park Min-jae.

So?

Unfold it.

We really went through hell

to figure out who that kid was.

You said you weren't hiding anything else.

Mr. Cha Su-yeol.

Please leave our team.

We're so close.

Let's ask around and find this doctor.

Then, we can catch the perp.

I wonder.
Did Jeong I-shin tell you to do that too?

Yes, that woman…

is indeed my mom.

So what?

What about it?

Are you worried the fact she's my mother

will negatively affect the investigation?

Are you?

Please leave.

What exactly didn't work out
because of me?

I assume she wanted you in exchange
for her consultation on this case,

but with the culprit confirmed,

she's useless to us now.

And that makes me useless as well?

Inspector Cha Su-yeol.

You swore you weren't hiding
anything else from us.

We have no need for a captain
who deceives his own team.

Especially one,

who has no interest
in keeping victims alive.

So what?

Is Son Hyeon-ho… dead?

He would've, if we waited a second more.

So, is he dead right now? Damn it.

You lied to us all, you prick!

We refuse to take

any more orders from him.

We're done.

You can choose, sir.

Who do you want on your team?

Us or him?

Sir, we're so close right now.

We can catch the perp now.

Son Hyeon-ho, that hotel manager…

He just passed away.

Su-yeol.

If you follow after him,

we'll take it as you wanting him
on your team.

Su-yeol must be home.

Do you want to be alone?

Jung-yeon.

Do you remember

that story Min-jae told you?

The one about

the serial killer living

in our town when we were really little?

The Mantis?

The serial killer…

The Mantis…

is my mom.

Ms. Lee Jung-yeon?

Jeong I-shin

was arrested when I was 11 years old.

She was arrested for brutally murdering

no less than five men.

And 23 years later,
I was reunited with her.

Mr. Jeong.

My maternal grandfather
even changed my name,

set up a fake gravesite in Yeonpo
as if his daughter had died,

and tried to leave all that behind.

And…

I just need a second.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want

to shock you like this. I mean…

It's only natural for you to be shocked.

Someone who killed five…

No, a serial killer who killed six people

is the mother of your husband.

It's shocking. Terrifying. It's a given.

I know that.

I… You see, but…

But she was here.

I didn't know she was so loathsome.

Yes, loathsome.

I find myself loathsome too.

Su-yeol, I'm not saying you are.
What I meant was…

Then,

why did you walk away from me?

You got it all wrong.

That's not it.

It's okay.

I understand.

I just…

It's just a lot to take in at once.

No. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

Jung-yeon, I know…

you want to have a baby.

Su-yeol.

But…

The thing is…

I am terrified of myself.

It feels like

the blood of Jeong I-shin,
that monster who gave birth to me,

is running through my veins.

That savage,

nasty,

terrifying,

loathsome blood!

After I became a police officer,

every time I looked
at the crime scene of a heinous murder,

every time I took out my gun
to catch a criminal,

every time I was drenched in blood,

a thought crossed my mind.

Do I…

enjoy the scent of blood?

Maybe I don't care
about catching criminals.

Maybe I just want to be able
to shoot someone dead legally.

That's what crosses my mind.

Su-yeol.

I don't want that blood
you know nothing about…

to be passed down--

What are you even talking about?

- No…
- Su-yeol.

I love you, Jung-yeon.

I'm sorry for lying to you.

QUEEN MANTIS

The perp is excited right now.

She's trying to clean up her tracks.

Bring me Su-yeol right now.

He is just as desperate as you.

What if this isn't a narrative
about a mother aiding her son?

What if it's one where the mother
is using her son with sinister intentions?

She said you were happy because of her.

How did you meet Jung-yeon?

Send all available units in the area.

Jeong I-shin is coming here?

It's a special order
from the commissioner.

We'll operate independently going forward.

You will end up dead if you go there.

I have to do this.
