- No way. - Hey, look at that.

The black rat snake is the biggest snake...

that lives in Korea.

- What does the black rat snake eat? - What does the black rat snake eat?

Hey, it's a rat.

I had a question to ask.

Do I seem different to you too?

They say it's how I was born.

They say...

I was born different.

And I am a predator.

That's how I was born.

(Mouse)

(Psychopath, the devil rises)

(Year 1995)

Why do you think he takes the victims' heads?

It's to delay identifying the victim...

for as long as possible.

Like removing the clothing...

Seo Joon, can you come here and taste this?

It's the same type of crime.

Why did you make so much?

You should take it easy...

- when you're pregnant. - There.

Anyway, the house is so pretty.

It's like something out of a fairy tale.

He designed it and built it brick by brick personally.

So, what brings you to Korea?

Here's what I learned from my recent study.

It's that we're able to detect...

psychopath genes by conducting a DNA test.

Therefore, the government suggests that we pass a bill...

where we can force the mother to have an abortion...

without the parents' consent once we carry out a DNA test...

and confirm that the foetus will be born with a psychopath gene.

It was rejected.

What do you think?

All I do is perform the research.

I don't have a stance either way.

What about you?

I'm for it, of course.

I wish horrible criminals like that...

wouldn't exist in the world Blessing will live.

(Ice Sleigh Rink)

Due to the heavy snow,

a portion of the ceiling collapsed in the kitchen.

They've been closed since yesterday.

We're leaving. Let's go.

I don't want to.

Can't we just camp out here? Mommy, please.

If we leave now,

we'll get home way past midnight.

The kids must be hungry.

Mommy, please.

Okay, fine.

Ko Moo Chi, consider this as your birthday wish.

Nice!

Moo Won, let's get on the sleigh.

Where's the mineral spring?

See that over there? It's that way.

Sure.

Maybe I should've gone with her.

Please...

Please don't kill me.

Please. Please have mercy.

Run! Get out of here!

Come on!

Get in the van. Right now!

Mommy, what's wrong?

Hurry. Hurry inside.

Please...

Mommy, where's Daddy?

Where's Daddy?

It's Dad.

(To the mineral spring)

(Ohsung Campground: Management Office)

Hide!

Go.

Moo Won,

listen carefully to what I say.

There's a small handle under the chair you ate snacks on.

Pull and the latch will open.

Take Moo Chi and hide there.

Stay there no matter what happens.

Don't make a single sound, okay?

Mommy...

Moo Chi, you too.

Don't you dare make a sound.

Promise me.

Once I leave the van,

lock the door straight away. Okay?

Please watch over my boys.

Mommy!

Be quiet.

I'm sorry.

You're up. Did you sleep well?

Why didn't you wake me up? I didn't get to see Dr. Lee leave.

Did he leave safely?

Yes, I drove him to his hotel.

- Would you like a cup of tea? - Sure.

Wait. What are you doing?

What... Hey.

What... Why are you doing this?

Like you don't know?

Head Hunter.

Him...

I clearly saw him with my own eyes.

(Neurosurgery Dr. Han Seo Joon)

Wait. Doctor.

Die!

That... Hey!

- Die! - Stop it.

- My goodness. - Oh, gosh.

What is it?

Ko Moo Chi, consider this as your birthday wish.

Promise me.

Mommy.

Mommy...

Breaking news.

The detention warrant for Han, the prime suspect...

of the Head Hunter murders, has been denied.

The court questioned...

the reliability of the witness...

and stated that he will not...

be held in custody during the trial.

I know it's been rough,

but the misunderstanding has been cleared.

It's you.

You made that snowman.

What did she just say?

- It's an exclusive! - No way.

- Can you believe it? - Is this for real? Is it?

Is he the Head Hunter?

- My goodness. - It was him.

Darn it.

Sure, Daniel. Sure, good night.

(Byzantine Wedding)

Excuse me, sir. Do you know Ohsung Campground?

Take a left up front.

It'll be a 10-minute drive from there.

It's a fine day to go hunting.

Psychopaths...

can't love anyone but themselves.

That's how you're wired from birth.

So tell me. Why did you marry me?

Why did you marry me when you don't love me?

I guess you can call it...

my will to reproduce.

I needed an offspring.

A Han Seo Joon Junior.

You!

- Don't just stand there. - You sick piece of scum!

You crazy jerk!

- Arrest him. - Take him back.

You got your baby tested, didn't you?

I just figured.

You're a pregnant lady visiting Dr. Lee.

Then did you also...

This baby...

apparently has a psychopath gene.

I'm going to have this baby.

I'm going to have this baby...

and prove that Dr. Lee was wrong.

(10 years later)

My gosh!

Did you see that?

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

The... The rabbit...

Why did you cut open the rabbit's belly?

To check.

What?

I wondered if it gained weight or if it was pregnant.

What?

Hi, honey. Come home right now.

What?

Who cares about the store?

Do you know what your kid did?

What is that, Jae Hoon?

Ammonia.

This will kill all the fish.

They'll die?

- Don't do it. - Move.

Daddy loves them a lot.

That's why I'm killing them.

You jerk!

You evil jerk.

Get up. Get up, you jerk!

- Honey. - Let go. Let go of me!

- Honey. - Out of my way.

Come here, you jerk!

You evil jerk.

Choco.

Close your eyes and pray,

so he'll go to paradise.

Tattling is bad.

I didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything.

Now, you're lying too.

You need to be punished.

Help me.

- I want to go home. - Let's go home.

Die. Die.

Monsters like you need to die. You monster.

"Monster".

("Family Murdered in Guryeong")

Did you kill them?

No.

But the Almighty...

never answered my prayer.

I ended up a killer.

My first kill was sloppy,

and I remember being exhausted.

However, the excitement and thrill I felt that day...

lingered in my thoughts.

This morning, at a boxing club...

in Seokjin-dong, Moojin, the severely burned body...

of the head trainer was found.

The victim turned out to be a bereaved family member...

of a victim of Head Hunter, the serial killer...

who terrorized the country 25 years ago.

And after that day,

the killings continued.

(Bus Stop: Geumsin 1)

Mutated DNA surfaced as society evolved...

creating psychopaths.

The top one percent of those are known as predators.

Just like it's a lion's instinct to hunt for rabbits,

to these predators, other human beings...

are nothing but prey.

And I am a predator.

That's how I was born.

Stay still.

Moo Chi.

Hey. Did you see that?

The corpse keeps moving.

This is so cool.

Didn't I warn you not to get drunk and mess with my case?

You're upsetting me. You talk as if we're strangers.

This isn't your case. It's mine.

- My gosh. - This was done by that jerk.

Look. It's pretty obvious.

- He killed her. - I'll take care of him.

Listen. Hey, let go.

- Come on. - Let go of me, you punk.

- Let's go. My gosh. - I swear he killed her!

- How drunk are you? - This is my case!

This was committed by the guy who recently killed the gym trainer.

I'm definitely sure it was him.

He killed her too.

Maybe he's one of those guys who hates the deity.

Or maybe...

he just craves attention.

The police are investigating the case with the assumption...

that the trainer and female employee were killed by the same culprit...

who has hatred toward a certain religion.

(Crime and punishment)

What's his problem?

I'm very sorry.

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

I'm sorry. I think...

this bird broke its leg.

It wouldn't move when the car was coming, so I instinctively...

You must've been startled.

I'm sorry.

You almost died because of that bird!

You're right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Have a nice day. I'm sorry.

Because of you,

I had to bow down to that jerk.

Actually, I changed my mind.

You know you did wrong, right?

Your punishment will be a slow death.

A very slow one.

Stand behind me and watch.

When we got here,

his arms were tied together at the back like this.

And his finger was also pointing up.

That window was open when we got here.

According to the people who work out here,

they never opened that window because it was broken.

So you're saying the culprit opened it?

Now come back here and look where the finger is pointing at.

See?

A cross.

The two cases have another thing in common.

He took trophies.

You mean the toy ring that was taken from Byun Soon Young's finger?

Her daughter bought it as a gift...

for her birthday at a stationery store.

The fact that the culprit took trophies means...

the two cases were committed by a dangerous psychopath.

People like this culprit think of murder as a hunt.

Now it's time for today's highlight. The world-famous magician,

David Copperfield, will even be surprised to see this one.

Let me introduce the best magic trick...

you've ever seen in your life.

He might even be hunting someone right now.

Okay then.

This man will vanish into thin air.

Okay.

Let's see.

- Ta-Da. - Ta-Da.

- What is that? - What happened?

- What's that? - Is that a human body?

- What is that? - What?

- What happened? - What's wrong with him?

- Is he dead? - My goodness.

My gosh, what happened?

- Call an ambulance. - Oh my gosh.

Chi... Chi Kook!

- Help! Help! - Help!

Chi Kook!

Give me the thread and needle.

You used it for your magic trick.

Don't touch him!

Don't touch him. Go away! Get away from him!

Why isn't the doctor coming?

- Tell the doctor to come right now! - Over here!

That's too bad. I thought I'd use this chance to practice my skills.

Help him.

Father.

Father, don't you know who he is?

Let's trust him.

He's the only person who can save Chi Kook...

right now.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

How annoying.

Why are you interfering?

Lucky punk.

Let me get this straight.

A psychopath that hates deities, religions, or the cross...

hunted Song Soo Ho and Byun Soon Young for no reason?

No. There's a clear motive for murdering Song Soo Ho.

He may have made him read it himself.

Eye for eye...

(Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth.)

Hurry.

On three.

- Right index finger. - Is that the severed finger?

Left middle finger.

That's only one finger.

There are two severed fingers.

- Find the other one. - I'll go look.

(No Entry: One Way)

Why won't you pick up?

I'll just have to cross it myself.

- No, don't! - Stop it!

- What... - Die!

Ma'am, it's me.

- Die, you scoundrel! - It's me, Officer Jung.

It's Officer Jung. Ma'am, it's me.

It seems to me that he's just getting started.

There could even be more victims...

than the ones we recently discovered.

What's this?

Last night, at a reconstruction site in Guoh-dong,

the body of a homeless man in his 50s was found...

and the police are investigating the case.

The body had been decomposing for a while...

and the police estimate the time of death as 15 days prior.

Before it's too late, we must investigate these cases...

with the possibility of them being serial.

The killings won't stop.

If the killer is truly a psychopath,

even at this very moment,

he will be hunting for his next victim.

Ma'am.

Hey, it's my grandson-in-law.

Are you here to see me?

Yes, hop on. I'll take you to church.

But I don't think I'll be able to go to mass today.

I need to go see Chi Kook after I drop you off.

Father Ko will be upset.

He cares for you so much.

Ma'am, are you injured?

Your bone seems fine.

You just tore a ligament.

You also got hurt here.

If you don't treat your wound, it'll get infected, you know.

My gosh, this is so upsetting.

It's going to sting.

Isn't it cute?

This is Goat Man. This character is the bomb.

The kids love him.

With this Band-Aid,

you'll become a fashionista in this neighbourhood.

This goat is going to make me become a what?

A fashion what?

From now on, I'll go.

What? Go where?

I'll go pick up Bong Yi whenever it rains.

So you just stay home.

Really?

Then will you do that for me until my leg gets better?

Sure.

But why can't Bong Yi cross the bridge when it rains?

What? Well...

(One month until Kang Duk Soo's release)

Hey, kid!

I'll see you again real soon!

My gosh.

- Where did you come from? - Eo Bong Yi!

Eo Bong Yi!

I wasn't kidding about pulling out your tongue.

It's Oh Bong Yi, not Eo Bong Yi.

I wasn't calling you, you know.

Eo Bong Yi is the bird's name.

Hey, Eo Bong Yi. Eo Bong Yi!

- What? - Just a second.

- Are you calling dibs? - Yes.

No!

Is it on my head?

Yes, so hold still.

It hurt its leg.

I let it fly thinking it was healed,

but I guess I was wrong.

- Get it off me. - Just a second.

Eo Bong Yi must like you though.

They say that animals can tell who is nice and kind.

A good person, you say?

No, probably those who are cute. Cute like a little sister.

Wait. Are you upset about what I said last night?

- You... - Bong Yi, you see...

Do you really think I have feelings for you?

What?

Just stick to caring for the bird, you idiot.

But Bong Yi... Bong Yi!

Song Soo Ho's gloves.

Byun Soon Young's ring.

That homeless man was missing a shoe, right?

We checked, and it's his.

Whose watch is this?

He drew a cross in here...

and stuck her finger in.

(Bingo! Detective Ko Moo Chi! Great deductive reasoning!)

(I hope you like your gift!)

Here. Have this.

How's your ankle?

I see the swelling went down.

- Are you keeping it on ice? - Sure.

What did I tell you about swapping out plasters?

That'll speed up the healing process.

Right.

Is there a special occasion today?

You're dressed nicely.

I had to drop by Bong Yi's school.

You should dress like this all the time.

I'm blinded by your beauty.

However, this kind of ruins the look.

I should get you a prettier one next time.

What? You must really be blind.

I wouldn't trade it for even a billion dollars.

When Bong Yi was a little girl,

she made it for me as a birthday gift.

Pay the settlement or your granddaughter...

will end up behind bars without getting to graduate.

(Help Wanted: Housekeeper)

- And who may you be? - Isn't it obvious?

The lady who usually works this house is sick,

- so I came instead. - But...

Wait. I see you have a guest over.

Don't mind me...

and do what you need to do.

I think my mom sent her over. She does it sometimes.

I'll get going then.

Sure.

Goodness. Look at this spacious house.

Do you pay a monthly rent or a yearly one?

Don't tell me you own the place.

My mother must've hired a housekeeper,

but I don't let others clean up for me.

I'm sorry, but you need to leave.

I'll make sure to clean every surface there is...

to the point that you can lick it,

so get ready to be dazzled.

Do what you need to do...

and let me get to work.

I'll go and get changed first.

(Korea Martial Arts Association)

Hello?

Yes, I'm Officer Jung Ba Reum.

Hello, sir.

Do you still happen to have Na Chi Kook's finger...

that never got stitched back?

It's probably at the hospital.

I thought it might contain the culprit's DNA,

so I asked them to keep it safe.

The team that preserves evidence wants the finger...

saying it's also considered a piece of evidence.

I'll check right away.

Officer Jung.

Detective Ko.

Where are you off to in a rush?

This isn't Chi Kook's finger.

- What? - We went fishing together...

a week before the incident.

And he hurt his finger with a fish hook.

There should be a scar on his finger,

but it wasn't there.

Are you saying this is someone else's finger?

He purposely left another person's finger?

Then where's Na Chi Kook's finger?

There's a church inside the correctional facility, right?

- Yes. - The cross.

(Police)

Gosh, you're quite smart, Ko Moo Chi.

Detective!

Hey, you're back.

So what do you think? Isn't the place spotless?

My goodness.

Look at the time.

I should go now.

I'll see you.

You forgot to take this.

("The Police are at a Loss")

We have no time to waste... Darn it.

What's so important about mass?

- Go. - They killed people!

Those pieces of garbage.

Will praying erase their sins?

- Will they go to paradise? - How could you say that?

How did I say it?

Please be quiet.

- This won't solve anything. - I guess I could use this chance...

to have some fun.

- Detective. - What?

What is this?

Get a ladder.

A ladder. Stat.

(Police)

(Na Chi Kook)

(Na Chi Kook)

(Fatso General Store)

It's too dark. I can't see anything.

Hey. Fatso.

Fatso.

Anyone?

He must not be home.

Oh my gosh. Did he follow me all the way here?

Oh no. My gosh.

I saw that scumbag who killed the student on the news.

What should I do?

Who could she have seen when I'm right here?

Crazy old bat.

You have one voice message.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

My goodness, Officer Jung. I'm too scared to call the police.

I just took the bus, so meet me in front of the general store.

I have a photo.

A photo? What is she talking about?

I need to step outside.

(Fatso General Store)

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Are you in here?

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

- I'm so scared! - Ma'am!

Ma'am. It's me, Officer Jung.

Gosh, Officer Jung.

Goodness. I was so scared.

- Goodness. Hold on. - Be careful.

- Be careful. - Goodness. Hold on.

What were you talking about? What photograph?

Oh, that. Here. Look at it.

It's terrible.

But...

That's the button from Bong Yi's uniform.

Where did you get this?

Goodness!

At times, I go on random hunting trips.

This old lady saw something she shouldn't have...

- Officer Jung. - and ended up as...

- No... No... - an unexpected target.

My puppy.

I didn't know at the time...

that this easy and boring prey...

would be the prelude to his and my incredible fate.

Darn it.

- Oh, no! - What just happened?

Oh, no.

Someone call an ambulance!

- Someone call an ambulance! - He got hit by a car!

Oh, my!

- Oh, no. - Is this 911?

- Please hurry. - Oh, my gosh.

- Someone got hit by a car. - Oh, no.

- What should we do? - We have to wait.

Don't touch him.

Oh, no.

Please come quickly.

- Is he okay? - Oh, my.

Oh, my.

- Oh, no. - Oh, no.

Oh, no.

- Is he okay? - Oh, my.

Wait until an ambulance gets here.

(I am a deity.)

Don't you hate your dad for leaving you?

No. I don't hate him.

I'm sure he had a reason.

Your dad may be watching,

so do you want to say something to him?

Dad.

I miss you.

I love you.

What do you want to do first if you meet your dad?

Go to an amusement park.

I want to go to an amusement park.

Okay. You'll be the next one to be judged.

(Goat Man's Cream Bun)

(Goat Man's Cream Bun)

It's upsetting to hear your lack of trust in me.

How about now?

Do you believe me now?

You have until the show ends.

If you don't tell me by then why this kid must die,

you'll see something you will never forget.

Father Ko,

- hello. - Hey, Officer Jung.

What's going on? Why did you ask me to meet you here?

Oh, well...

I'm thinking about sending someone away...

and needed some advice.

You're sending someone away?

Whether he'll go or not...

hasn't been decided yet.

What?

Let me ask you one last time.

For the last time? Ask me what?

Do you really...

not resent Han Seo Joon?

Aren't you angry at him?

He damaged you physically...

and made Detective Ko live the way he does.

I've already forgiven Han Seo Joon.

You've forgiven him?

("Sherlock Hong Ju")

I wonder what the answer is.

I have no clue and we're running out of time.

Unless Moo Chi answers correctly, the young boy will die.

I never said I'd kill the boy.

- What? - I said I'd kill,

but I never said whom.

That's right.

It's you.

Shall we begin the show?

Don't be nervous.

Your brother's a smart man,

so I'm sure he'll figure out the answer.

I doubt he'll let you die.

Why did you kill them?

I don't know why, but you have a major grudge against the deity.

You killed people and broke their fingers to point to a cross.

You? You've decided to do the opposite...

of what the deity instructs.

That's why you considered those who didn't commit the deadly sins...

to be sinners.

The one without lust. The one without sloth.

The one without pride. The one without greed.

The one without gluttony. The one without envy!

The one without wrath!

Those are the sins that you defined!

And that's why you punished them as you saw fit!

- Hang up on me again, and... - Bingo.

You really are smart, Detective Ko.

This is why I'm your fan.

Byun Soon Young. She never fell to any temptation...

and lived for her daughter. That's why you killed her.

Because she lacked lust.

Foolish wench.

She was pretty enough. What's wrong with using her body a little?

It would've given her daughter an easier life.

You murdered Park Jong Ho for working hard,

and stuffed a grasshopper down his throat,

you psycho?

He wouldn't have died if he had been slightly lazy.

What's the use in working so hard?

He died without saying a peep like an ant under my foot.

But he did resist hard until the very last moment,

so it was very fun.

What? You jerk.

So? Jo Mi Jung?

She stuffed her face then threw up after the show.

But she acted like she just doesn't gain weight.

Gobbling isn't a sin, you know.

Her scrawny figure made me puke.

As for Na Chi Kook,

when I saw him acting all modest in his interview,

I wanted to kill him quickly and free him of his sin.

But... That poor old granny... Why did you kill her?

Why did you kill that granny, you scumbag?

Oh, that. She was just unlucky.

Do you think I would've enjoyed killing an old woman like her?

They need to resist and fight back for it to be fun.

It was really lame.

We got him!

Good. Move out now!

We have him. Building number 123, Seongu-dong.

Gosh, we finally found him.

The culprit is inside.

He's on the phone while watching the show.

I gave you what you asked.

Now, keep your promise.

There's a child inside. Be careful.

Make sure the kid doesn't get hurt.

I want the culprit alive.

Freeze! Freeze! On your knees!

- Freeze! - You punk!

We have him.

It's over now, you scumbag.

No, you're wrong.

What?

Show yourself right now.

Hello?

He's the one who should've gotten angry, not Han Kook.

He's guilty...

for having no wrath.

Father... Father Ko.

- Moo Won. - I promised to kill him...

if you failed to find the answer.

It's time.

- Moo Won. - It's absurd.

His parents were killed by the Head Hunter.

He even ended up disabled because of him. But he forgave him.

What an unbelievable brat.

It's not too late to get angry.

Then you will be forgiven.

I'm sorry for everything.

I was a fool to have challenged you.

I'm sorry.

Kill me instead. Take my life.

I'll die in his place.

Let my poor brother live.

Please don't kill my brother.

Moo Chi, I'm all right.

Whatever happens to me isn't your fault.

All right?

This is your last chance. Get angry. Show your wrath.

To the Head Hunter who murdered your family.

To the world who didn't give him the death penalty.

Let your anger explode.

Moo Won, please.

My beloved little brother.

I've...

I've always been sorry.

Moo Won, please. Moo Won.

I'm sorry.

May...

May... May the Lord...

save...

your soul.

Taxi.

(Vacant)

That crazy psycho.

Gosh, what is wrong with this world?

Father Ko got murdered?

That psycho killed the priest.

Sir, please... Please take me to Gudong Cathedral.

What has become of this world?

Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me. Excuse me.

I smell mint. That's weird.

He's dead.

But I'm sorry to tell you...

that you're no deity, and you're not even human.

You're just a horrible monster.

A monster that can never be saved.

(I am...)

(the Almighty.)

(Memory)

You should've called before you came.

What is it that you need to tell me?

What is it, sweetheart?

You knew, didn't you?

Knew what?

That your son...

is a murderer.

Hey, Detective Kang.

Detective Ko? Isn't he home?

What?

Bong Yi's grandmother's DNA was found at that doctor's house?

Why was it in Sung Yo Han's house?

It couldn't be...

It was Sung Yo Han,

not Kim Joon Sung.

How did this jerk get these pictures?

He knows everything about me.

Darn it.

Come here.

Ba Reum.

Go, Bong Yi.

No. Go with me.

I promise I'll catch him personally.

I'll catch the jerk...

who killed your grandmother.

Still...

Go get the police. Now.

Go.

It was you.

I killed the wrong guy.

I wondered why that punk Kim Joon Sung wouldn't talk.

It was because of you.

To save you.

Dumb jerk.

Tell me about the photo.

How did it fall into your hands?

- Save the boy first. - What?

Han Kook, who's below your feet.

Oh, you're here to save Han Kook?

Are you here to save Bong Yi too?

Let him go. Please.

I'm sorry.

It's too late for that.

What?

Ko Moo Chi lost the game.

He missed his deadline.

I guess he was shocked by the stones that were found inside his brother.

He doesn't care about the kid. He's too busy drinking.

It's a pity. I really think it is.

But it's too bad, isn't it? A promise is a promise.

So I judged the kid as soon as it was time over.

Those who do not envy...

are sinners.

You lunatic.

Yes, that look in your eyes.

I love that look of anger.

You have every right...

to be my child.

Just let me kill you.

It's all for the best.

What's with that look?

You and I...

are both very sad people.

Sad?

You think I'm sad?

Sad?

You darn jerk.

Say it again. You think I'm sad?

I'm a deity. That's what I am.

Why would you pity a deity?

You think you're a deity?

You're just a psychopath who was born with a mutated gene.

(Hospital pharmacy)

(Absolute rest)

Finally, it's quiet.

(1 year later)

Gosh.

You did well, locked up in this tiny place.

Those petty punks.

It's not like it was intentional.

Just because I elbowed the commissioner,

they sent me to the boonies for a year.

Anyway. Once I return to Violent Crimes,

I don't have to wear this uniform.

Bye bye, Pyeongan precinct. Bye bye.

(Pyeongan Precinct)

I've been assigned to the Pyeongan precinct today.

I'm Officer Jung Ba Reum.

Her wallet's gone as well as her cell phone.

I guess she was murdered after she got robbed.

No.

What?

It's just a camouflage.

Who are you?

Why are you being so absurd?

Wait. How do you know if he's being absurd or not?

What?

- What's your problem? - What?

- How old are you? - Old enough.

Detective Kang, we found tire tracks.

Let me see.

It's from here to there. Here.

It's here too.

I guess Officer Jung was right.

I mean, think about it. There are tire tracks,

and we can tell that the body was dragged here.

That means the culprit drove here and dragged the body there.

What kind of a robber would kill a person...

and drag her body and bag all the way up there?

- Will you cut the nonsense? - Gosh, shut it.

He has a point.

Her belongings are gone,

but it looks like the culprit had all the necessary tools for murder.

So he or she could've taken her wallet and cell phone...

to make it look like a robbery and murder case.

Exactly.

And the fact that she was murdered facing the ground means...

she was murdered by an acquaintance.

So either the murderer hated her or did it to take revenge.

Check the victim's identity and her acquaintances.

No, it's not that.

The murderer didn't kill her to take revenge.

Officer Jung, what's with you?

I'll talk to him.

He hurt his head.

You know he got brain surgery after he fought with Sung Yo Han.

Make sure to restrict the area so the evidence doesn't get harmed.

- Come on. - No, wait. But...

Okay, I get it.

You know you have to be the MC, right?

I can't do that.

Then who else?

Chi Kook isn't well, so it has to be you.

Today was my first day of work,

and I finally get why Chi Kook found the job so difficult.

How was your day?

Tell me how it feels to be back at work.

I saw a dead body.

A dead body?

- Did you pee your pants? - Stop talking nonsense.

I don't know how to explain it, but it felt a bit weird.

My heart started racing and...

Your heart started racing?

I guess you were really startled.

Your heart used to race...

when you saw a dead cat.

No, it's nothing like that. It's a bit different.

It's not different.

You got sick and puked all day that day.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

- Over here. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hey.

Let's sit down.

He and I used to make movies together.

And he's Mr. Woo Young Chul,

the lawyer who gave me legal advice regarding my script.

- You all know Ba Reum, right? - Of course.

And this is my fiancé, Kim Seul Ki.

She was the main actress of the short film I made.

- Congratulations on your wedding. - Thank you.

Congratulations.

- We promise we'll be happy. - Thank you, guys.

- I'm going to go to the bathroom. - Okay.

Careful.

Dong Koo, I'm telling you. It's not too late.

You really should reconsider marrying Seul Ki.

Cut it out.

I swear she'll always desire to be successful as an actor.

Do you really think she'll be okay with being a civil servant's wife?

I don't think so.

I bet she'll cheat on you with anyone who casts her...

- for a movie. - That's enough!

Will you please cut it out?

Wait.

That's enough.

I get that you're drunk, but you're crossing the line.

Young Chul,

do you know what her nickname is?

The princess who switches her prince.

Everyone in the industry knows her for being like that.

He's the only one who doesn't know. It's upsetting me.

You're so naive.

You're a complete fool.

You darn punk. You're like this every time you drink.

- You punk. - Dong Koo.

- Dong Koo. - Get off me!

Ba Reum, are you okay?

- You jerk. - Get off me! Get off me!

Are you okay? Didn't you get hurt?

It's nothing serious. I'm fine.

You hurt your forehead.

By the way, when did you learn how to fight like that?

You even used to be bad at playing Whac-A-Mole.

Where was the Pyeongan precinct?

It should be around here somewhere.

Crazy freak!

Officer Jung?

Goodness, I'm sorry.

Trash rolled over here while I was sorting it.

I startled you, didn't I?

I'm really sorry.

You haven't changed at all, Officer Jung.

Do you know me?

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

You almost died because of that bird!

Why? Does your head hurt?

Detective Ko Moo Chi!

Detective Ko.

Detective...

It'll be torn down before the presidential election.

Hi, Eo Bong.

Here.

- Stop it! - Bong Yi!

Oh Bong Yi.

Bong Yi.

- Oh Bong Yi! - Oh my gosh.

I'm sorry.

My baby.

Officer Jung. Please check in on that brat...

Bong Yi...

now and then.

(Oh Bong Yi, 13-1 Anshin-dong)

Oh Bong Yi?

(Oh Bong Yi, 13-1 Anshin-dong)

Anshin...

Anshin-dong.

Bong Yi.

Bong Yi.

Bong Yi, it's me, Ba Reum.

Call me.

There are no street lamps or CCTVs here.

It's too dangerous.

You're dead.

Stop, you jerk!

You jerk.

Why is this happening to me?

Why am I getting flashes of Sung Yo Han's memories?

You must've read a lot of files...

regarding Sung Yo Han before the accident.

Probably.

I hear I investigated the case alongside Detective Ko.

You're mistaking what you read in the files...

as your own memories at the moment.

Thank you, doctor. I'll come back soon.

- Ba Reum! - Hey, Bong Yi.

What brings you by?

The doctor wanted to check my wound.

- What about you? - Oh, I was here...

to see the doctor who operated on me.

He operated on you?

- Yes. - That's not him.

(Department of Neurosurgery)

No, he's not here.

He's not here.

The doctor had a scar on his face.

A long one on his right side.

Mr. Kim, it's me.

Could I perhaps get a recent photo of Han Seo Joon?

Recent photos of inmates can't be taken outside prison walls.

A documentary show interviewed him once.

You could watch that.

Hey, Bong Yi. I just sent you a photo.

Can you check if he's the doctor?

Ba Reum, it's him.

He's the guy who did your surgery.

If you let it live, you'll end up like that rat snake.

Is that what you want?

A nasty brain has been placed in this mouse.

A nasty brain?

You seem different.

Compared to before, I mean.

Did you spend some time in a psychopath's brain?

What is this feeling?

That's why I've been remembering...

Sung Yo Han's memories.

Don't tell me...

you implanted Sung Yo Han's brain inside me.

Is that what you did?

You figured it out faster than expected...

which reduces the fun.

Head Hunter.

About that nickname people gave me.

I actually quite like it.

So you took their heads after killing them to...

Don't look at me like that.

I only took...

a few human heads to benefit mankind.

Every achievement requires minor sacrifices.

"Minor sacrifices"? That's what human life means to you?

Thanks to them,

you were able to survive your injury.

No, it's a lie!

You must not want to believe it.

Then why don't you go in person...

and see for yourself?

I have my own lab.

No one knows about it yet.

The moment you open that door, you'll be opening Pandora's box.

Are you ready?

Are you ready to face the truth?

How could you have operated on me though?

You're in prison.

The day after you were injured,

someone visited me.

I'm Officer Jung Ba Reum.

A very special someone.

Your son bashed another young man's brain.

The doctors say that the damage is beyond repair.

If the brain transplant can be done...

Then what?

I plan to gamble on it.

What do I get in return?

Name your price.

Freedom.

No.

We're done here.

Please.

Please...

Saving the honourable life of a young man...

is the only way you can atone for your sins.

Where did you get this video?

- Someone sent it to me. - Film in this direction...

and keep the camera still.

I see you're still alive.

What the...

So about yesterday...

Did we perhaps argue?

I remember coming here, but my memory ends there.

You grabbed me by the collar the moment you came by...

and swung at me.

I had to subdue you. I'm sorry.

No, don't apologize. I'm the one who's sorry.

I really should cut back on my drinking.

You should...

or it could someday kill you.

I won't die.

Not until I kill the scumbag.

- Hey, Bong Yi. - How's your hand? Is it all right?

Yes, it's fine.

No, don't kill him. Don't kill him.

- Smash that into his face. - Smash that into his face.

- Kill him! - Kill him!

- Smash his head. Kill him. - Smash his head. Kill him.

No!

Are you scared...

that the same thing might happen to you too?

I'm also quite curious myself.

You were the first human to get a frontal lobe transplant.

But of course, I didn't replace your entire frontal lobe.

It was only the parts that got damaged.

But I hope that you won't let Yo Han...

take over you.

I really mean it.

The killer who targeted...

only women who lived alone...

tried to do it again in Anshin-dong.

But the woman fought back, and he was arrested at the scene.

Anshin-dong...

Hey. It's me.

Mom. Does she live...

in that neighbourhood?

Why would she? She moved away years ago.

Why would she want to live here?

A "no" would've sufficed. No need to yell.

Mom. Should I come visit?

Why would you come here?

Please, let me live in peace.

I'll make some food and go to you.

Don't you dare come here. Okay?

This old woman is being suspicious.

How dare that old hag lie to me?

Hey, you.

Aren't you too young to have a fat tummy?

What's this?

Please look the other way just this once.

Here, take this with you.

(Supermarket)

The mom's an alcoholic.

She's been drowning herself in alcohol after the divorce.

Hey, kid!

I won't take it from you.

Here. Take this too.

The bun itself will be too dry.

- What's your name? - Yu Na.

Yu Na, let me walk you home.

Move out of this neighbourhood. As soon as possible.

Move?

Who are you to make demands at someone else's house?

Kang Duk Soo is back in this neighbourhood.

So what?

I can look after my daughter just fine.

So move away yourself if that's what you want.

But you're...

But you're her mom.

Aren't you worried about her?

I said I can manage my daughter just fine.

Darn brat.

Who are you to meddle with our lives...

telling me to move away?

What if I told you I'm his victim?

Does that give me the right to meddle?

You're her guardian.

So keep her safe...

and stop drinking.

Ba Reum?

Ba Reum.

Bong Yi,

nothing will happen to me, right?

Will I be all right?

Of course.

You'll be fine.

Nothing will happen.

(Prayer)

Please...

don't let anything happen to me.

Please don't let me...

become a monster like Sung Yo Han.

Please.

Please protect me, My Lord.

Please.

Bong Yi?

Bong Yi, wake up.

Bong Yi?

Ba Reum.

Hey, it's you.

It's my Ba Reum.

My sweet and kind Ba Reum.

What good does that do though...

when you can't even remember...

how you asked me to marry you?

You complete idiot.

Excuse me, but why did she drink so much?

Some girls who were here must've gone to school with her.

They kept commenting about the incident...

- and how bad they felt for her. - The incident?

They ended up grabbing each other's hair.

My goodness.

I love how you enjoy the food you eat.

Gosh.

Grandma...

I miss you, Grandma.

Tempted, aren't you?

You wish for nothing else than to squeeze her neck.

Then do it.

Feel the softness of her throat.

Feel it for yourself.

Go ahead.

Why are you hesitating?

Press down on it.

Go on.

You should do as I say.

If you don't,

you'll end up killing your family and people you love first.

Ba Reum, your phone!

Kang Duk Soo?

Are you all right?

Him?

(Kang Duk Soo)

(Video of the victim's statement)

Don't worry.

I promise I will catch him for you.

My grandmother drank a lot...

after my dad passed away.

Someone had tied a puppy to a rail on a bridge.

So I was going to untie it for the puppy.

No,

don't fall asleep.

Kid,

don't fall asleep, okay?

I promise I'll catch him.

What did you say to Bong Yi?

Excuse me?

Don't lie to me. We have a video of you in the crosswalk.

I didn't say anything.

You darn rat.

What did you say?

Tell me.

I really didn't say anything.

Nothing more than just hello.

You dirtbag. Dirtbag.

I said I would kill you. You dirtbag.

- Hello. - Hello.

Moo Chi is in the holding cell for assaulting...

Kang Duk Soo.

What?

Here.

He said to give it to you and say to carry it at all times.

Yes, officer.

I'm at the pharmacy.

I needed a refill of my prescription medication.

(Byunglim Foods)

What the... Darn it.

This is the parole office monitoring room.

Kang Duk Soo's ankle monitor has been damaged.

Officers will urgently respond.

Kang Duk Soo's cell phone is also there.

He's currently getting off at Moochang Interchange.

Breaking news.

Sexual offender Kang Duk Soo who was released just a year ago...

cut off his ankle monitor and is on the run.

He is currently on the way...

- to Jungsoon of Gangwon Province. - What?

He ran?

I see you're watching "Sherlock Hong Ju".

It could be the rain.

I'm a huge fan of Choi Hong Ju, you see.

That reminds me.

Yu Na's here.

Yu Na?

- When? - She came by around dinner time...

to buy some buns for her mom.

- Pedophiles and sexual offenders... - But Yu Na...

never change.

("Sherlock Hong Ju")

Their minds are always filled with thoughts of children.

No. Yu Na.

No, Yu Na.

No!

No...

Take Yu Na.

Please... Please save her.

Yu Na... Take her away from here.

You should do as I say. Ba Reum.

If you don't,

you'll end up killing your family and people you love first.

(355 Gudong-ro)

(Without proper compensation, we will never vacate our homes!)

No. Don't do it. No.

Get out of my way. Move.

It was me.

It wasn't Sung Yo Han.

It was me.

- Hey, do you know something? - What?

You're kind of annoying.

Why? Why?

Someone without pride is a sinner.

Where are you going?

Chi Kook's awake. Let's go in.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Don't just stand there. His arm will get tired.

What's going on?

I'm sure he saw me.

Don't try so hard to die.

You don't have much time left anyway.

21 years ago, I visited Korea to attend a seminar.

And one day, I received a parcel.

It was from an anonymous person.

That's when I found out that Han Seo Joon...

succeeded in doing a brain transplant.

He wanted to show me that he had succeeded.

I wanted to see how the mouse would turn out.

So I started to observe it and kept notes.

Day 10. Moving slowly.

Noticeably slower movements and lower activity level.

Day 30. Death.

Han Seo Joon had failed.

You'll die too.

I thought you were sick and your phone was off.

Tell me it isn't true.

You knew who I was.

You knew that Sung Yo Han murdered my grandmother.

Bong Yi.

I'll wish...

his baby dead as long as I live.

(Don't ever forgive me.)

I hope the skies...

will never forgive me.

(It's me, Chi Kook. Can we meet?)

There are a lot of scars near this wound.

That means he held onto the knife and tried to stop him.

I was attacked from behind, so I couldn't see his face.

That can't be.

Na Chi Kook is lying.

Officer Jung.

Chi Kook...

Doctor!

Ba Reum!

Doctor, what happened?

He seems to have died of a heart attack.

No, that can't be. It can't.

He was fine when I talked to him.

I'm sorry.

He was fine.

Chi Kook.

Chi Kook.

Those shoes.

Hey, wait. Hey!

You killed Chi Kook, didn't you?

Why did you kill him? Why did you kill that poor guy?

How could you say you feel sorry for him,

you fraud?

Yes, I killed him, you monster.

I had to kill an innocent man because of you!

There's been an accident.

Please take care of the scene.

Hey!

I swear.

Then search the license plate of the car he drove.

It was 67D6264.

The car he drove...

Wait. What did you just say?

"67D6264"?

It's jjamppong broth.

Right?

You believe me now, right?

67D6264.

He's the one who hit me on the head and stole my wallet.

The petty thief.

It's him. He killed Chi Kook.

Why?

Why would a mugger kill Chi Kook?

Not yet. I can't die yet.

I'll catch and kill the scums who killed Chi Kook first.

I'll die after that.

Wait. Isn't that Uncle?

It's definitely Uncle.

What's going on?

The number you have dialled is not in service.

I'm sorry.

That's the one.

Is that the car that hit me?

Here is Kim Man Ho's family registry.

(Child: Kim Hee Jung)

(Child: Kim Hee Jung)

Mom had no sister.

It was all a lie?

Everything around me was fake?

We found the car with the license plate number 67D6264.

He got rid of the dashcam?

He didn't commit suicide. Someone made it seem like it.

Why did he hang something so personal...

when this wasn't even his car?

What's this?

So he kept two storage devices?

Ba Reum.

Why are you at the scenes of Kang Duk Soo's,

Lee Jae Shik's, and Kim Byung Tae's murders?

Ba Reum.

Was it you?

We're...

lab mice.

We are...

lab mice.

(Epilogue)

(Epilogue - Pandora's box)

May... May the Lord...

grant you...

salvation.

How do I look?

I asked not to be turned into a monster.

I begged.

But you ignored my prayer.

And you call yourself a deity?

From this moment on, that job will be mine.

I will judge all the fools...

who believe in your nonsense.

(I am the Almighty.)

I am...

a predator.

I was...

a predator.

(Mouse: Theatrical Cut)

The crime scenes that were exact copies of my murders.

Someone planted the fake brooch and necklace,

and even the mint scent...

that I had said I smelled on the killer.

They pulled the trigger on my murderous instincts.

They gave me easy prey to kill.

Who was it?

You knew from the get-go...

that I was the predator, not Sung Yo Han, didn't you?

Hong Ju...
