Seoul Busters

Come with me.

Just one game.

The other guys will be there too.

I can't.
I have a makeup class at the academy.

If I miss it,
they'll call my mom right away.

By the way,
wasn't math super hard on the midterms?

How did you do?

I had to guess on a few questions,

but I managed to get everything right.

You got everything right?

It was so hard.

Who cares? Midterms are over.

Are you sure
you don't want to go to the internet café?

I'll never be able
to beat you.

Episode 17

Ah, I have so much to tell you.

Isn't it unbelievable though?

That's what he said.

Yeah, exactly.

My address is Suan Apartments,
Building A, Unit 705.

Since you're visiting my place
for the first time,

don't forget to bring a lot of food.

Okay.

Hello?

I'm busy right now. I'll call you back.

Damn it. Where did he go?

Suan Apartments, Building A, Unit 705

Gobau

Captain!

Did you bring an umbrella?

It's pouring out.

I told you it'd rain.

That's why I wanted to drink
all afternoon.

Those two things are completely unrelated.

- That's just an excuse.
- They are related.

Hearing the rain makes you want to drink.
Am I right?

I crave soda when it rains.

-Soda?
-I've never experienced that.

Scientifically, it makes no sense.

There is actually some science behind it.

Is there?

When it rains,
there's low atmospheric pressure,

reduced sunshine and high humidity.

This increases melatonin
and decreases serotonin,

causing people to feel down.

To combat that,

your appetite increases,
and you crave alcohol.

That's how it works.

No wonder.

Whenever it rains,
I crave pancakes and rice wine.

-You said you didn't crave anything.
-I do.

I have to take this.

-Sure.
-Go ahead.

Listen, it's about Captain.

Now that I've gotten to know him,

it turns out he's a PO.

-A PO?
-What's that?

A peculiar oddball.

-So that's what that means.
-He is a bit strange.

I agree.

Hold on. If he's a "peculiar oddball"
and "strange..."

Then what?

Does that make him a POS?

Boring.

Still, he grabs drinks with us
after work these days.

He's changed a lot.

I know. He's softened up a bit.

- Exactly.
- He's changed quite a lot.

What's this?

It's a wallet. Is this Captain's?

Open it. Maybe there are pictures inside.

There's nothing inside...

What's wrong?

Why are you making such a fuss?

What's with you guys?

Listen.

I heard he almost
married a woman in the US.

-It must be her.
-In the US?

-Yes.
-Almost married?

Who is she?

That's all I know.

As a detective, I have a hunch.

Why do you think
an elite detective from the US

left to join this insignificant
Violent Crimes Team?

- Why?
- I know.

-Why'd he leave?
-You know something?

He once said something in passing.

"Wanted for Fraud"

They're supposed to be a couple,
but I bet that's just for show.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

Criminals can fall in love too.

First-degree
murder. She killed her husband.

Can you just get
some basic information from her?

Ah, Would you like
something to drink?

Coffee? Do you drink coffee?

You look like you need some caffeine.

How did you know I was thirsty?

Your lips looked a little dry.

How different.

Different?

What's different from what?

You're different

from the other detectives.

How so?

You have dignity.

Oh, dignity?

Interesting.

We found these at the scene.

"How to Get Away with Murder"

Throw them deep into the ocean

so no one can find them.

Still, we meet again.

Finally.

It takes a murder

for us to meet.

Let's never meet again.

You've completely destroyed me,

both physically and mentally.

I killed someone again.

It's been a while, Yubin.

Do you think I'm a joke?

I just wanted to see you.

Does that make me a bad person?

After falling in love with
a serial killer and getting hurt,

he returned to Korea.

"Don't go away!
Don't go away, Yubin!"

"Please come back to me!"

I think I've heard
that story before.

Did you watch a movie last night?

- How did you know?
- That's a great movie.

-It was amazing.
-Whatever.

I recently attended a profiling seminar,

and there's something I learned.

Here's what I think.

I actually overheard something.

You and I
will be competing again.

I'm so tired of it.

Most of the time, I won.

You're right.
You even stole my girlfriend.

His girlfriend?

- Hi, Dongbang.
- Hey.

Meet Jaein.
I've talked about her a lot, haven't I?

This is my best friend, Dongbang Yubin.

You're the two people
I trust the most in the world.

I trust Dongbang
as much as I trust you, Jaein.

Should you really be introducing
such a beauty to me?

I don't feel worried at all

about introducing her to you.

After that day,

the three of them
started hanging out together,

and things were going well.

But then,
as often happens in such encounters,

something went wrong.

The two of them ended up becoming
attracted to each other.

"Where did things go wrong?"

Professor Sim started having
a bad feeling about the two.

♪ One day ♪

♪ After you and I ♪

♪ Had a bad fight ♪

♪ You and my friend... ♪

You should be profiling,
not singing.

I'm on fire.
I can't stop dancing.

What's with my shoulder?

Stay still.

That reminds me.

What's wrong?

I got involved in a gun accident
in the US, and it still hurts sometimes.

-A gun accident?
-It's no big deal.

A gun?

Considering this was in the US...

Congratulations.

Captain said

he once investigated a gang in the US.

Those gangsters

must have gotten back at him.

Oh!

They couldn't have fired guns
in broad daylight.

-Don't be ridiculous!
-Hey.

Americans have gun cabinets
in their living rooms.

Even dogs carry guns in the US!

In the end, Captain...

Oh, it was a mistake
that day, okay?

But please, give us just one--

What are you doing here?

This is actually my gang.

I'm sorry, but this is the end for us.

No, don't kill him!

Why would you kill a person?

Right, I shouldn't kill him.
I got a little carried away.

Then how about this?

He crossed the border.

Yes, Mexico!

- Mexico?
- No, Cuba.

Cuba.

Cuba, Cuba, Cuba...

Fidel Castro.

Cuba?

"Fidel Castro:
Cuban politician and revolutionary"

What are you so excited about?

Talking behind your back.

What? No way.

So you were talking behind my back
that enthusiastically?

- No.
- Captain.

- You dropped your wallet.
- Hey, that's mine.

But why are there only 10,000-won bills?
Where did my 50,000-won bill go?

-Detective Jung!
-Did you seriously take that?

It wasn't me.

The 50,000-won bill
wasn't in my wallet to begin with.

- Sorry about that.
- Sorry.

Captain.

I heard you got involved
in a gun accident in the US...

That's right. I got hit in the shoulder.

The kid next door
used to carry a gun around.

That's what it's like in the US.

When he fired it, it went bang,

and it shot out these huge bubbles.

Pop, pop, pop.

Bang! And it goes pop, pop, pop.

It created all these bubbles.

But then the kid suddenly
threw the gun at my shoulder,

and it landed right on my collarbone.

It hurts to this very day.

So you just got hit with a gun,
not shot by one?

Why would a kid shoot a gun?
He threw it at me.

Seoul Busters

-Gosh.
-Go in.

What are you doing? Jeez.

A hiker...

Good going. Look at you.

What's wrong with you?

A hiker found the body early
this morning and filed a report.

It was around 5 a.m..

The hiker thought
it was a mannequin at first,

but it turned out to be a human body.

As you can see,
there are footprints,

but none of the victim's belongings
were left at the scene.

The parking lot
doesn't seem to have any CCTVs either.

Captain! Captain! Captain!

Hey, you...

Captain!

This spot...

This spot...

You've got to be kidding me.

-Where were we?
-None of her belongings were found here.

The victim must've been carried here
after death.

It rained until pretty late yesterday.

If she had walked here,

her sneakers wouldn't be this clean.

"Clean sneakers"

The body's clean.
There are no wounds or anything.

Could she have been poisoned?

It's hard to tell.

Forensics will reveal more.

Estimated time of death?

It's been less than 48 hours.

We can't identify the victim
because no items were found.

She must be an art major,
specifically in painting.

-How do you know that?
-Do you know her?

Her cuff has paint stains on it.

You often get those stains
when painting with a palette,

and they don't come out easily
because it's oil paint.

Maybe she paints as a hobby.

Rose gray is only found
in professional paints.

"Rose gray paint on cuff"

The indent on her middle finger indicates

she's been painting regularly
for a long time.

Still, we can't be sure
she's an art major.

Come on.
She's an art major if Captain says so.

-She can't be a PE major.
-You...

Anyway, it seems the culprit had
no intention of hiding the body.

The culprit wanted the body to be found.

This spot is clearly visible
from the trail.

- This was like a stage for the culprit.
- A stage?

Judging by how they controlled the scene,

the culprit must be a pro.

You mean like a hitman?

That's not likely.

Ah, of course not.

What's the deal with you?

This might be a serial killing case,

although I'm just speculating.

Captain,
speaking from experience,

if the culprit left
their footprints everywhere,

they can't be a pro.

They're more like an idiot.
Just look at the scene.

Captain! Captain.

This is actually quite an awkward spot.

What's so awkward about it?

This is...

right on the border.

"Songwon-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu"

"Songwon, Yeongdeungpo"

All right.

Only the left half of Songnae Mountain
is within our jurisdiction,

with the trail marking the border.

And as you can see here,

the body was found right along the border,

which makes it complicated.

Is it really that unclear?

The body was lying perfectly in the middle
of the two jurisdictions.

That's really ambiguous.

Should we hand over the case?

-It's going to be a headache anyway.
-But...

Besides, the victim lived
outside our jurisdiction.

Forget about jurisdictions for now.

- I think that's a great idea.
- Hmm...

- Do we know anything about the victim?
- Yes.

Her name is Jung Hyunjoo,

a third-year in Western Painting
at Yirim Woman's University.

She was on a leave of absence.

Oh, Captain's guess was right.

I knew it too. I had a hunch.

The livor mortis indicates

the body was moved to Songnae Mountain
immediately after death.

Oh, Captain was right again.

What are you, a fanboy?

Why do you keep saying Captain was right?

- Does she have any family?
- I can answer that.

She lived alone in Seoul.

Her father and younger brother
live in Suwon.

They're on welfare.

Her brother is a university student
and is currently in the military.

What about the footprints
found at the scene?

I analyzed them.

I ran the footprints through the database,

and they're from inexpensive sneakers
widely available on the market.

Over 20,000 pairs were sold
last year alone,

and the sole design
changed five years ago.

This isn't enough to identify the culprit.

-Did you say her family was on welfare?
-Yes.

Her apartment is rather expensive.

That doesn't add up.

Rather than "doesn't add up,"
I'd say it doesn't quite fit.

What's the difference?

I mean it's unlikely, but not impossible.

Anyway, let's interview
her acquaintances first.

I've never been
to a women's university before.

Have you?

It's nothing special.

Still, I'm getting excited.

Are you excited
about visiting a women's university?

- Yes!
- Get it together.

Remember, we're on duty.

I'll keep that in mind.

Tansik, stay alert at all times
until you go to bed.

No, stay alert even when you're in bed.

In our line of work,
you never know what might happen next.

Every moment presents a choice

and can be the beginning of a case.
Got that?

-I'll keep that in mind.
-Good.

-Hey, take out some gimbap.
-Sure.

Try some.

I think the spinach has gone bad.

-What?
-You know I have a keen sense of smell.

Let me see.

Is this from a food stall?

It looks so skimpy anyway.

Hey, my mom made that.

It looks skimpy
yet so appetizing at the same time.

Forget it.

Now that I've tried it,
it's really good.

-Let me try.
-Okay.

-Gimbap, gimbap!
-Yes!

-My mom's gimbap!
-Yes!

The place does look quite fancy
for someone on welfare.

Maybe she worked part-time.

Like tutoring and such.

How would you afford a place like this
with a part-time job?

The rent is pretty high.

I know. It's hard to believe
a student lived here alone.

Art supplies cost a lot too.

Over there.

Over there.

Detective Seo.

"Go"

"You go"

-"Come on"
-"No, you go"

-"Do as I say!"
-"I won't!"

"...Jeez"

Nobody's here.

Shh...

"Take a look"

"You do it"

"You go"

"No, YOU go"

"...Jeez"

Hurry up.

She was so cheerful
and talented.

She was an amazing painter.

I'll just ask you some questions.

Did Hyunjoo get along with her friends?

Yes. She was really popular.

She was even the student representative
for her first two years,

although she quit in her third year
to focus on her studies.

She was popular
with the professors and her seniors too.

Was she seeing anyone?

She never mentioned anyone.

She was too busy working

and focused on making it big as an artist.

She was extremely hardworking.

I can't believe what happened.

We were planning
to go on a trip this winter.

I'm so sorry...

Don't mind me.

Was Hyunjoo living alone?

Yes.

She lived close to campus,

so we'd sometimes go over
when we finished late.

She took such good care of us.

She was like a big sister.

- Goodness.
- We owe her so much.

If only I had known this would happen...

And Hyunjoo loved the ocean.

We wanted to hear the waves together--

Are you okay?
I hear the waves in your stomach.

My stomach's a little upset.

- Can we...
- Yes?

...take a little break?

Sure.

It's the stool creaking.

I heard it clearly.
When he dragged the stool--

My stomach's been a little upset...

No.

It was me. Right. It was me, everyone.

I'm the one who farted.

-It was me!
-Stop overreacting!

You're making things worse.

Anyway, did Hyunjoo...

Actually, where's the restroom?

There are only ladies' rooms
in this building.

Go to...

Go to the building across from this one.

I'll open the windows.

Are you all okay?

Men's room

Wait. It's under repair.

What? You mean the restroom?

"Out of service, do not use"

No way.

Tansik, it's me.
The restroom's out of service.

We'll lead you to the restroom.
Follow our instructions.

- "We"?
- First, leave the building.

Got it.

I'm outside now.

Do you see the two buildings
in front of you?

Enter the taller one
and take the stairs.

Tansik, I can't hold it
any longer.

You're almost there.

The restroom's on the third floor.
Hang in there.

You're so close! Go to the third floor,
and you'll see it right away.

"Restroom"

"Restroom"

I'm at a crossroads.
Is it to the left or right?

-It's to the left.
-It's to the right.

-Left? Right?
-It's to the right.

-The left?
-No, it's to the right.

Which way do you want me to go?

A majority says it's to the right.

Okay, everybody.

Hey, you're wrong.

In our line of work,
you never know what might happen next.

Every moment presents a choice

and can be the beginning of a case.

Stay put.

Stay put.

Just as I expected.

Come here.

Get back here!

Out of the way!

What's with him?

What the...

Come here.

Who are you?

What are you doing
at a women's university?

I'm sorry.

What were you doing in the restroom?

Let me see.

-A camera?
-A camera?

Please forgive me this once.

Dream on!

Everyone, here's a perv!

Mission complete.

Oh!

Hi, kitty.

- Gosh, that scared me.
- Come here.

How long have you
been hiding here?

Can you get me some cat food and water?

Me? I don't know where they are.

Me neither, but we can't let it starve.
Hurry up.

It's not my pet.

"Get to it"

"Yes, ma'am"

Luna Bar

Luna Bar

Remember when I said
the victim must've worked part-time?

You did.

I think I found out where she worked.

"Luna Bar Hyunjoo"

"You're the best!"

"This is just who I am!"

"Heh"

Good work, Detective Moo.

You really moved me.

-What do you mean?
-Even in such a critical moment...

I would've chosen the restroom.

Tansik.

As a detective,

even when you're eating, sleeping,

or in a crisis like I was today,

you must pursue criminals.

That's the fate of a detective.

They say, "Destiny is an arrow
flying towards you,

while fate is an arrow
coming from behind."

Ah. Is there such a saying?

Sukmyeong, meaning fate,
contains a character meaning "sleep."

This symbolizes how fate influences you
even while you're unaware.

Hey!

Look at you rattling on. Destiny? Fate?

Are you really in a position
to educate us on that?

-We'll talk at the precinct.
-I'm sorry.

It's your lucky day.

If I had soiled my pants,
I would've killed you.

Lucky me.

You little... Tansik, drive.

-We need to talk.
-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

There's no sign of hesitation.

The culprit was strong enough
to carry an unconscious woman

weighing over 100lbs
without taking a break.

The culprit wears size 8.5 shoes.

The victim was carried
on the right shoulder.

"Right shoulder"

The culprit appears to be right-handed.

Right hand

Considering the stride length,
the estimated height is...

"25 inches, just under 6 feet"

...just under six feet.

Even while carrying the victim,

the stride length didn't decrease much.

"Consistent stride length"

He has rather small feet
but is well-built.

Given his strength,

the perp is likely
a man in his 20s to mid-30s.

He didn't leave any trace

except for his footprints.

Why on earth

is that?

He's left-handed.

He either trained himself
to be right-handed

or was pretending to be right-handed.

Left hand...

We'll draft a script based on this.

Please do that.

"Remaking of Crime"

Right. Have you seen
the Songnae Mountain case?

You mean the female university student
found dead on a trail?

It might be worth
looking into.

It reminds me of a famous US case
from the early 2000s.

The TTK case. Have you heard of it?

Yes, it's a well-known cold case, right?

The Tea Time Killer case.

What about it?

The cases are quite similar.

Both victims were anesthetized
and then suffocated.

Also, in both cases, the scenes were
manipulated as if to make a statement.

But what would an American cold case
have to do with ours?

Since the case was so notorious,
it inspired similar cases.

Three years ago,

a Korean student was murdered
in the US in a similar fashion.

That case remains unsolved too,

but it caused quite a stir back then,
with people suspecting

the TTK might have returned.

The direct cause of death
was smothering.

Yes, it wasn't easy to solve.

But you know me.

I get a kick out of solving
these kinds of mysteries.

Whoever the culprit is,
they got rid of most of the evidence,

but check this out.

Are these fibers?

A microscopic examination of
the nasal mucous membrane revealed them.

This is some solid evidence

confirming the cause of death.

Any substances
found in the system?

Ketaflurane.
It's a general anesthetic.

It's not readily available to the public.

As a psychoactive drug,

it's even harder to obtain.

Did you analyze
the marks on the victim's face?

Your guess was right.

The marks appear to be from a cloth

used to cover the victim's face.

The culprit covered her face
with their left hand

and pressed down with the thumb,

leaving a mark.

Are you sure it was the left hand?

The mark clearly indicates
it was the left hand.

And the drug was injected
into the neck with a needle?

Yes, a needle mark was found
on her neck.

Thank you.

Ketaflurane.
It's a general anesthetic.

The marks appear to be from a cloth
used to cover the victim's face.

Ah!

Excuse me.

Was that the last bus?

Yes, it just left.

If I take a taxi to Seoul,

it'll cost a fortune.

Look.

Should we share a taxi?

It's expensive to take one
all the way to Seoul.

Ah...

You're not dangerous, are you?

Why aren't you answering me?

Are you dangerous?

Probably not.

Hey.

Since we're sharing a taxi
all the way to Seoul,

should we exchange names?

I'm Song Jaein.

And you are?

I'm Dongbang Yubin.

Dongbang?

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

It's just that your last name
is quite unique.

Well...

Are you coming
from the Blue Note concert too?

All the Seoul concerts were sold out,

but I didn't want to miss
the chance to see them.

The concert was amazing.

Too bad it ended so late though.

You were at the concert, right?

-No.
-No?

I attended a seminar.

A seminar.

-What was it about?
-Murder weapons and murder scenes...

So you study murders?

Sort of.

I see.

Excuse me.

We're here.

This is where I live.

How much is the fare?

It'll probably be around 50,000 won,

so I'll give you 25,000 won.

I lost my wallet, so...

I see.

You're a lifesaver. I hope we meet again.

One year later in the US

It's you, isn't it?

From the taxi.

What a coincidence.

I'm so happy to see you again.

This calls for another introduction.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Move in with me.

I'd love that.

Osteology, Federal Bureau of Investigation

What's this?

-Do you like it?
-Yeah.

I love it.

Hold on. Do you know what this means?

Does it mean something?

Never mind. It's so pretty.

Thanks, Yubin.

Cheers.

Can you really not make it today?

Those tickets were hard to come by.

Sorry, but my seminar
suddenly got moved up.

It's the band I went to see
on the day we first met,

so I was looking forward
to seeing them with you.

I'll call you immediately
if I finish early.

Really?

You better, or you'll regret it later.

Okay.

-I'm off.
-Okay. See you later.

Bye.

Forever in my heart
Song Jaein

Ketaflurane
was detected in the victim's body.

It's an anesthetic.

It seems that the assailant injected it

and suffocated her
by covering her nose and mouth.

And I think this belongs to you.

The victim was holding it in her hand
to the last.

The culprit covered her face
with his left hand.

But evidence shows he's right-handed.

He either pretended to be right-handed

or trained himself to be right-handed.

Case Synopsis, Suspect Profiling, TTK?

Wanted by the FBI

I love it.

Hold on. Do you know what this means?

Does it mean something?

The victim
was holding it in her hand to the last.
