EPISODE 13

I was glad,

when i met Gab-dong.

I was happy because I thought I would know

how to stop a monster like myself.

I thought I could find out the secret.

As far as I know,

there was no psychopath who could stop himself.

Gab-dong was able to control himself.

He was like a deity to me.

I wanted to know the secret.

I wondered if

he had a savior like Sonia.

But then, in the airplane,

I realized...

that I was wrong.

I realized I could never stop

at least not on my own.

Either changing or stopping myself,

I knew it was impossible.

However, I didn't know that back then.

I was such a fool.

It was okay at first.

Whether I did it myself

or made somebody else do it, it felt quite good.

-But then... -Then?

Someone asked me a question.

"What did I do wrong?"

What did I do wrong?

Nothing.

So I answered that she didn't do anything wrong.

She didn't do anything wrong. She was only kind to me.

At that moment, I felt strange.

What am I doing?

But,

I had to continue.

Why?

Gab-dong...

No, the Loser promised me.

He said if I wanted to know, I should be better than him.

He said if I completed the ninth case,

I would know why without even trying.

In fact, he didn't even know the secret of the ninth case

because he wasn't the real Gab-dong.

What actually happened in the ninth case?

Please tell me.

Okay. I will tell you

what actually happened in the ninth case.

In return, let me hear your story first.

From the first to the seventh case,

tell me what you did.

Tell me in detail.

You are always so determined.

MOO-YEOM

Where are you?

Dr. Oh is with Tae-oh Ryu right now.

What's happening?

She went in to get Tae-oh Ryu's confession but she's still there.

There's no one in charge at night, so I can't get in.

What should I do? Should I break the door?

Or will you ask for their cooperation?

Detective Ha thought Matilda was dead.

Watching him run was just...

But problems started after the sixth case.

If I didn't know the Loser wasn't the real Gab-dong,

I could have left quietly.

Forget about Gab-dong, I could be my own deity.

Maybe I can stop myself, maybe for me it's possible.

But...

But then...

in the airplane,

I suddenly became furious...

about the fact that I was fooled by a fake,

that I had to leave like I was running away.

I knew I'd get caught, but I couldn't stop.

I just felt like I had to do something.

So,

is that why you killed the flight attendant?

Yes.

The seventh case...

was not planned.

Just like what Detective Ha said.

The real Gab-dong.

What would he look like?

Where is he now?

What kind of facial expression would he have on his face?

This is what you're wondering about as well, right?

I'm sorry to say this,

but stop thinking that you can catch Gab-dong.

He's dead. Gab-dong is dead.

That's the one thing I gained from this.

I learned that I can never stop.

Not until I die.

No. He's not dead.

Gab-dong is still alive.

Of course, you would want to believe that.

Detective Ha and Mr. Yang, as well.

But Gab-dong is dead.

How long is it going to take?

Don't care for him too much.

You're going to spoil him.

Is Dr. Oh okay?

It's your turn now.

Tell me what happened in the ninth case.

Hye-jin...

was my best friend.

I'm going in.

Do you want to interrupt his confession?

If he stops talking because of you, then it's on her.

-What do you mean? -Maria is the only one

who can draw out his confession.

It's not just a confession.

It's a privilege

of Gab-dong's victim who poured

her time and effort into the monster Tae-oh Ryu.

-But... -It's not something you or I

can interrupt and ruin.

This is an important matter. What if he changes his mind?

Is this about your fame?

Moo-yeom.

If it's not, let's wait and see.

She's a tough woman.

So much that I feel bad for her.

Next.

-Your name? -Gab-dong.

Next.

The secret of the ninth case

is that nobody knows why Gab-dong disappeared.

Gab-dong disappeared?

Why?

Well...

For the first time, maybe he felt

a feeling of compassion for me.

You've done well today.

Can you tell me how you feel about the victims?

Let's stop now.

You are exhausting yourself.

Okay.

You did good.

I don't like these types of compliments.

Call me anytime

when you feel like confessing your other sins.

Dr. Oh!

I knew from the beginning

that you were brave and sexy.

You don't need to be impressive anymore.

So get some rest now.

Gab-dong...

Tae-oh Ryu said that Gab-dong is dead.

Is he really dead?

Since when did you trust his words so much?

You know what Gab-dong's suspected age is.

He'd still be in his 40s.

Until I see Gab-dong's remains myself,

I won't believe it.

When you cry, you should cry out loud.

You don't need to look pretty when you're crying.

-Is it ready? -Yes, it's ready.

I knew I'd get caught, but I couldn't stop.

I just felt like I had to do something.

Is that why

you killed the flight attendant?

Yes.

The seventh case

HOLDING CELL 2

was not planned.

Now that we have a testimony, the investigation will go easily.

Good work. I knew you could do it.

But this is unexpected.

Are you saying that there is no connection at all

between Tae-oh Ryu and the original Gab-dong?

Yes.

As far as we know.

I wonder if maybe...

he had a savior like Sonia.

But then, in the airplane...

-Good bye at last, Tae-oh Ryu. -I realized...

I could never stop.

At least, not on my own.

Hey.

Come on.

Stop fooling around.

Good work, sir.

We've caught him at last.

Ji-wool.

Ji-wool!

Are you okay?

-What do you mean? -Don't tell me

that you liked Tae-oh Ryu.

Why aren't you answering?

-Why you... -Do you think I'm stupid?

Or are you stupid?

Do you really not know

who I like?

It's fine as long as it's not him.

But...

I don't see you as a woman.

What do you mean it's fine?

Is it fine if I don't have feelings for him?

Is that really everything?

-Hey, you... -To be honest,

I wished that Tae-oh Ryu was a normal person.

I really wished that he wasn't heading towards

the path of becoming a monster.

Was it wrong for me...

to wish him to be a normal person?

Is everything really fine just because I don't have feelings for him?

You're right, I am stupid.

I believed a monster to be a person.

I don't like myself for being like this either.

CASE SUMMARY

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE

We can prove that his alibi is not perfect.

There's an hour gap between Tae-oh Ryu and Dr. Oh's words

regarding the time of the first and third cases.

We'll report this to the prosecution as well.

For our investigation team of Iltan Police Agency!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

-Enjoy. -You too.

I was thinking of going on a vegetarian diet.

You'll still get fat if you eat that much.

More meat, please.

Help yourself. Have some meat.

You're the best.

I'm sorry for the mistake last time.

Hey, the meat is burning.

Now that we've caught Tae-oh Ryu, we just need to catch Gab-dong!

Let's drink!

-Thanks for the meal. -That's right, drink up.

-Drink up. -I'll do my best.

Bottoms up!

-Drink up. -When's our meat getting here?

-Young-ae. -Yes?

-Give us some more meat. -You've got to try this out.

-I'll get going now. -What?

Don't overindulge yourselves.

-Already? -You're leaving already?

Sit down.

-Goodbye! -Bye!

Let's drink!

Do-hyeok.

I have something to say.

We're not as close anymore these days, right?

You were my role model ever since I was a rookie.

Didn't that change to Mr. Yang?

He's an enemy who turned into a friend.

Now that you've caught Tae-oh Ryu,

your future's going to be bright.

What do you want to say?

Let's not end it.

Gab-dong's case.

When I became aware of the statute of limitations,

I felt odd.

He'll be pardoned in time,

but,

we'll be tormented forever.

What are you thinking, then?

What do you mean?

Like you've said, the deadline is over.

What do you plan to do if you ever catch him?

You should forget Gab-dong now.

This case has no connection with the old Gab-dong cases.

That's the only way we can make sense of it.

Before announcing the result of the investigation,

I wanted to tell you this.

SUSPECT CONFESSES TO THE ILTAN MURDERS

Since Tae-oh Ryu's confession of the crimes that were committed,

the full account of the serial murders have come to light.

At present, the examination for the warrant's validity has started,

and the investigation concludes

that the suspect from previous cases, also known as Gab-dong,

has been assumed unrelated to this case.

Now I don't have to be so worried.

I wonder where the real Gab-dong is.

I'm not sure.

We are questioning Tae-oh Ryu about further crimes...

Do-hyeok told me to stop being so delusional.

That advice is gold. Listen to him.

Really?

You can compromise when you've lost less.

Can you quit, Mr. Yang?

Gab-dong is dead.

That's the one thing I gained from this.

Until I see Gab-dong's remains myself,

I won't believe it.

Alright.

-Let's go out and play. -Okay.

How cute!

Thanks to you, I can now live at ease.

We are thankful that we can rent this place at a cheap price.

We aren't even in-laws yet, but it seems we are getting along.

Excuse me for a moment.

Hello? Is that you, Ji-wool?

What? Remains were found?

Where?

The remains were found behind Gwaneumsa.

We thought it was someone else's grave.

-There's something... -Please make way.

-Move out of the way. -I heard it's...

That was a difficult climb.

Oh gosh.

What do you think that is, Wifey?

What else could it be? They're the remains.

I realized...

I could never stop.

At least, not on my own.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Do you think that Gab-dong did this?

Wifey, we're going to get the remains to the family.

Request for identification.

I don't think this is Gab-dong's doing.

If there was any hair left,

we could have run an analysis.

We could reconstruct the face

by filling the remains with clay.

But you can only request for this if it's related to the case.

There are hundreds of cases like this every year.

Since the situation is tricky, couldn't you do it for us?

I'm very sorry.

I tried my best

but reinstating you...

Thank you for trying, Inspector Cha.

I'm very sorry.

As for Gab-dong,

I think I can leave him to skilled people like you.

But what about you and your future?

Come in.

Do you have any room for a detective who has nowhere to go?

I'll be glad to do anything.

I can do photocopies or even make coffee.

If only we could talk about Gab-dong together.

I don't like sugar in my coffee.

Because I have diabetes.

What case is it?

It's called Affluenza.

It's a very interesting case.

Let me hear it in detail.

Can we apply this to Tae-oh?

This Affluenza affects those who are greatly wealthy.

The wealth adversely makes the mind impoverished.

The case with the boy from Texas that I participated in

was diagnosed with Affluenza. Instead of a prison sentence,

he was sentenced to ten years of probation.

My goodness.

I didn't even know what kind of guy he was.

I praised him only because he was from a wealthy family.

You know,

Detective Ha is the best. Right?

INCOMING CALL

Is this Ji-wool Ma?

Yes. Who is this?

I'm Tae-oh Ryu's mother.

Call me anytime...

when you feel like confessing your other sins.

Where is Dr. Oh?

She is on sick leave.

Do you want me to call her?

No.

That's fine.

Tae-oh Ryu.

You have a visitor.

I have a favor to ask.

My son...

You do know that he is a little bit ill, right?

You phony bastard!

You phony. Why are you copying me?

Hey!

-Stop it. -Let go of me. He's a copycat.

I am the real Gab-dong.

Let go of me!

You phony bastard!

What if it's the maximum penalty?

There's no life sentence without parole in Korea.

I'm a little cautious to say this,

but shouldn't this case demand capital punishment?

Are you saying this with the judicial reality in mind?

Capital punishment at this time?

What if human rights issues come up?

Then, what should we do?

Isn't life imprisonment enough?

It will be easier to make the trial go our way.

By the way,

what are we going to do with Tae-oh Ryu's confession?

Is it enough as lawful evidence?

Affluenza?

At this time, that's the only way.

You guys are amazing, aren't you?

Your mother...

is trying to convince Ji-wool Ma.

What is she trying to convince?

Marriage.

You loved Ji-wool Ma.

That's why you kidnapped her.

To prove that it's Affluenza,

we need to show grounds of emotional distress

for it to be acknowledged as a mental illness.

If Ji-wool truly understands you,

and is willing to treat you by marriage...

-Monk Jinjo. -Yes.

How did it go?

We're still looking into it, but we haven't identified it yet.

There must have been something he wanted to say.

Something to say?

If remains were found like that,

isn't it because he had something to tell us?

Maybe you're right.

By the way, how is Dr. Oh?

She won't come outside.

Go on.

Go see her.

Well...

She needs to get some rest.

JI-HOON SEO

Yes, Mr. Seo.

Pardon?

An illness?

Marriage...

What?

Affluenza?

You really make me research a lot of things.

I knew you would make fun of me.

So now it's Affluenza.

Aren't you even embarrassed?

I am but what can I do? My mother is doing this to me.

You're a mama's boy, aren't you?

A psychopath is likely to be a mama's boy according to a study.

Listen to your mom and I will call you that.

That's not what's important.

You know too well.

Is it true

that you and Gab-dong have no connection?

I believe I told everything to Dr. Oh.

I'm not here to investigate. I'm here to chat with you.

I know you're bored. Let's discuss something constructive.

What if,

Gab-dong didn't stop, just like you?

What do you think

about this assumption?

Do you have any evidence that he didn't stop?

You're the evidence.

What do you mean?

You said you couldn't stop.

But...

you think Gab-dong was able to stop himself?

Don't you find it

a bit strange?

Why are you staring into space?

Mom.

What can you do...

with five billion won?

Did you buy a lottery ticket?

Answer me.

If we had five billion won,

what would you do?

Well, first...

I want to own a chicken restaurant.

Then I would buy a motorbike.

buy some clothes and treat myself to something good.

Goodness.

Get a grip.

Hurry and give this to Moo-yeom.

Hello.

Oh, hi.

My mom told me to give this to you.

That's so nice of her.

Please tell her that I'm thankful.

Sure.

Where is Maria?

She's not feeling well.

She's sick?

Is something wrong?

No.

I just wanted to know if you were okay.

Something is bothering you, isn't it?

Why are we like this?

Why am I poor

and helpless?

Why can't I be loved

by the person I love?

I was never mean to my friends

and I never hated anyone.

The only thing I did wrong was love someone dearly.

I'm only 19 years old.

Ji-wool...

Did I do something wrong in my previous life?

You're older than me,

so give me an explanation.

What did I do wrong?

You did nothing wrong.

I know that

things were harder for you.

When Gab-dong tried to kill you...

When she was killed by him,

did you feel like this as well?

How did you endure it?

Why do we have to live like this?

We're poor and helpless.

Did we do something wrong in our past life to live like this?

Jae-hee, you are more mature than me.

So give me an explanation.

Should we run away from home?

Ji-wool Ma.

What is it this time?

Did you think about it?

I didn't need to.

It's generous of you, Mr. Han.

It's not easy to deal with him.

This feels like old times.

It's nice.

What's that picture?

The clothes and articles are clean.

There is no signature.

It's clear that the corpse was abandoned.

But would Gab-dong abandon a corpse?

He displays the corpse. He doesn't abandon it.

Who knows? It might be a hidden crime.

If he wasn't going to exhibit it, he wouldn't have needed a signature.

Or he may have been in an urgent situation.

-Exactly. -So what you're saying is

that this is a failed piece?

We have nothing to lose.

At least we should find the family.

It drives me crazy to think that this is the end.

At this very moment,

Gab-dong is somewhere out there laughing at us.

By the way,

take a look at this.

A profiler in Australia sent me this.

It's a newly developed program

called GeoPros.

If you insert the crime data here

you can anticipate

the current locations of the serial criminals.

I inserted the data

of Tae-oh Ryu's first to sixth cases.

See the yellow circle?

Within a one kilometer radius,

there was Tae-oh Ryu's house.

So just in case,

I applied it to Gab-dong's old case.

It was near Gwaneumsa Temple.

I'm just saying.

AFTER THE EIGHTH CASE, 1995

She infiltrated as a cafe waitress.

Cafe waitress...

Eighth case, June 4, 1995 Infiltrated as a cafe waitress

Didn't she have a gun?

Even if she had one, she wouldn't have shot anyone.

There is a reason why she was called a crybaby.

Moo-yeom!

Do you want to practice nunchakus?

Are we in a temple or a boarding house?

He needs to be caught fast.

Goodness.

Mr. Han.

Monk Jinjo is not the one.

Stop trying to blame anyone of being Gab-dong.

That's not what I meant.

Then?

You think it's one of the detectives

who were staying there?

It can't be,

right?

-Do you want a ride? -Awesome!

I guess we were neighbors.

Aren't you drawing anymore?

I was a fan, too.

I'm planning on a new webcomic.

But it's a bit...

What?

The detective is the criminal.

I don't like that.

Let's make him the good guy, okay?

MISSING PERSON GA-RAM HONG, 26

MISSING PERSON SEO-YOUNG MIN, 25

MISSING PERSON EUN-JUNG CHOI, 24

MISSING PERSON SO-YOUNG PARK, 17

The owner of this, take this back!

You might not be aware, but I have feelings for you.

Darn, I'm too popular.

See you later. From Crybaby.

Crybaby?

It's not me.

It's not?

Crybaby...

MISSING PERSON JEONG-SOOK LEE, 24

The policewoman's nickname is crybaby.

No, it can't be.

Aren't you drawing anymore?

Are you going to spend your life as a guide here?

You should...

Don't worry.

I'm rich by your standards, right?

You said, I'm at least rich in compassion.

Mr. Cha,

scold Mad Monk for me.

Hey...

MISSING PERSON JEONG-SOOK LEE, 24

You two have gotten close already.

What's all this?

The people who have gone missing.

You're going to look for the missing people?

We've caught Tae-oh Ryu, and Gab-dong is out of the picture.

Their families must be missing them dearly.

Around 2,000 people go missing each year.

Even just in Iltan...

This kind of problem is...

What do you want for dinner?

Anything.

You can't say "anything."

Be more specific.

And you don't need to make yourself look all pretty,

so just come out quickly.

Okay.

Hye-jin.

Would it be okay for me

to be happy?

Okay.

BEST FRIENDS

What can I do now?

What should I do?

The phone's switched off.

Let's just wait for a bit, okay?

She'll be here soon. I left a message.

She lied to me.

She tricked me.

Bring her in front of me.

Maria Oh.

Bring her to me!

I heard you were looking for me.

I think I'm going crazy. This must be a withdrawal symptom.

Why? Because you can't kill people?

I confessed.

Just kill me then.

Are you serious?

Be it prison or prison infirmary it's all the same to me.

I'll choke to death here.

So please kill me.

Your freedom is over now, Tae-oh Ryu.

The freedom to kill people

and the freedom to choose death.

Dr. Oh, stay here a little longer.

Do you have anything else to say?

Are you going tell me about other murders?

What I've said already should be enough for the trial.

No. That can't be everything.

Like how I haven't told you everything.

You haven't told me everything?

How could you do that to me?

Because...

I don't know everything either.

Could it be...

that place?

That place?

Please let me go.

I won't tell anyone.

You said, the person who wins

gets to live.

Since I won,

don't I get to live?

No.

You don't get to live.

Then

why did you make us play rock-paper-scissors?

To decide

who gets to die first.

Were you happy...

because you won?

Hye-jin.

I won't run away this time.

I am going to unveil his face to the world.

It hurts!

Gosh.

When did you learn self-defense?

I let you knock me down because I was taken aback.

You deserve a big scolding.

Why did you come here again by yourself?

What is it?

Are you touched

because I came here?

I remember

now.

Gab-dong...

His face...

I know what he looks like.

There's one more thing

that I remembered.

I think I'm alive because of your nunchakus.

The sound of it

is probably why I'm still alive.

Don't talk so much.

You might forget his face.

Detective Ha left a while ago.

By the way, isn't that yours?

It really isn't mine.

Ji-wool.

Now that I look at it, you're quite the poker face.

Your acting skills are great.

What? What are you talking about?

That's yours, isn't it?

I checked all the surveillance cameras.

You went like this and dropped it.

What?

That makes no sense. Where did this happen?

There's the collision.

See. Look.

What?

What's wrong with you?

I'm speechless.

Just wait. I'll find out who it really belongs to.

Have some egg rolls.

Dad, what does immigrating mean?

It means living in another country.

That sounds like fun. Which country are we going to?

I'm not sure yet. Which country do you want to go to?

MOO-YEOM

Yes, Moo-yeom.

-What? -Dr. Oh

says she remembers.

Remembers what?

MOO-YEOM HA

"Is a perfect crime possible?" December 24th, 1993. Do-hyeok.

This belonged to Mr. Cha?

"Is a perfect crime possible?" December 24th, 1993. Do-hyeok.

Mr. Cha.

MISSING PERSON JEONG-SOOK LEE, 24

JEONG-SOOK LEE, 24, FEMALE, MISSING JULY 7,1995 IN ILTAN

You...

remember now?

This is an urgent matter.

We need to make a composite sketch of Gab-dong, so come now.

I read faces, not impressions of people.

Why did you ask me to come here?

I will show you what Gab-dong looks like.

What are you talking about?

Dr. Oh

remembers what Gab-dong looks like.

What?

RELIABLE POLICE, SAFE NATION

How did you suddenly...

It's because of Detective Ha.

I thought he was Gab-dong.

MISSING JEONG-SOOK LEE

This girl.

I know her.

You know her?

What does he look like?

It's hard to say.

I don't know how to explain.

It's as though...

I've seen him somewhere before.

MISSING JEONG-SOOK LEE

I've seen him somewhere before.

The person Eun-ji liked...

She loved an outstanding detective.

He's great in both his skills and his character.

He'll catch Gab-dong for sure.

I think it's a book donated by Mr. Cha. Here.

When did Do-hyeok start working at Iltan Police Agency?

-Well, that... -We need to probe further.

Who knows, maybe Jeong-sook Lee is trying to tell us something.

How will you figure it out?
