(Poongsan District Police)

The case of the kidnapping of Hwang Ji-wook this afternoon (Poongsan District Police)

was resolved due to the efforts of the Golden Time Team.

Through this case, the Police Agency have

have judged their first nationwide expansion

of the Golden Time Team

in Poongsan to be a complete success.

Fantastic.

Great work.

The reporters are saying you handled the case well.

They want to interview you.

From what I saw out there,

it seems like the Golden Time Team is absolutely necessary.

That's why

I want you to have Yang Choon-byung

on your team for a month.

Detective Yang Choon-byung?

Yes, he's a veteran detective.

He's already agreed, so we should use him for a month.

Otherwise,

how could you dispatch the teams in 3 minutes?

You also don't know Poongsan too well.

Just know that this is what I've decided.

Yes, sir. Well then...

Ah, Director Kang!

I heard that Detective Doh

didn't show up for his first day

and caused trouble.

If he causes you any more trouble,

just let me know right away,

We have plenty of officers better than him.

Thank you for your concern, sir…

but I think that

Detective Doh was the one who persuaded Hwang Gi-hyuk.

I'll be going now.

Gosh.

No matter how much he deserves to be ripped apart…

and even if Hee-ju

should ask you to kill him…

as Hee-ju's father…

if you're really care about your daughter…

stop this.

Well done, Ji-wook.

I miss my mom, dad and sister.

Okay.

I'll take you home.

I just got a call from Detective Gu.

He said Detective Doh took care of Yeom Gi-tae properly.

He seems like a better person than the rumors suggest.

Detective Doh.

Good work, today. Where are you right…

I'm at the motel where Kwak Min-su was.

I think this bastard is the culprit.

What?

Are you serious?

Pictures of cut up bodies…

and the mask he used…

are all here. All of them.

Director, Kwak Min-su was intercepted by the coast guard

when he tried to flee with a fake passport.

Hold on a minute. I'm getting radioed.

What did you say?

He's being held by the Poongsan coast guard.

And the chief inspector is heading there, too.

Okay.

Kwak Min-su was arrested by the coast guard

during an attempt to stow away.

The chief inspector is heading there, too.

What shall we do?

He said the bastard disappeared at the harbor…

Let's meet at the coast guard station.

Understood.

You stay here.

I guess they've caught him.

Find out who she's meeting.

Yes, sir.

Agent Park.

I'm going to the coast guard with Detective Doh.

You're in charge of the center.

Just 5 minutes. (Poongsan Coast Guard)

We don't normally allow visitors before investigating suspects. (Poongsan Coast Guard)

Okay, don't worry.

By the way, he seems kind of crazy.

I'm not sure if you'll get anything out of him.

Perfect.

That's the kind of guy I'm searching for.

Anyway, you agreed.

5 minutes.

Ugh, seriously.

Seriously, I'm going crazy.

Somebody on the internet said they'd pay me if I made these,

so that's all I did.

Then why did you run off?

The evidence that it was you

is all in the motel room.

I really don't know about this.

Some guy in a chatroom

on the Racing Toto website

told me he'd pay me if I made him

an acceleration program.

(Dividend)

(Heracles has requested a video chat with you)

Who's this punk?

(Heracles: I assume you lost everything today, too?)

Who do you think… (Heracles: I assume you lost everything today, too?)

Hi.

Who are you?

You wanna start with me?

Can you make an acceleration program?

It'll be useful for analyzing different engines.

$10,000 in advance, $20,000 more when it's done.

He said he was going to commit insurance fraud

and said he'd pay me $30,000 if I made him

an acceleration program.

Think about it.

(Heracles has left the chat room)

I owed money to some people (Pay us back)

(Unless you want to end up begging on the streets with no eyeballs) I owed money to some people

who said they'd rip my eyes out.

What was I supposed to do?

(Here is the acceleration program you requested)

(Good work) I knew that sum seemed to high.

I knew that sum seemed to high.

Heracles… that son of a…

He's not lying.

He feels truly wronged.

You said you had a video chat with this Heracles, right?

Did you see his face?

It was an illegal gambling site, of course not.

He wore a mask.

Then, did he, by chance, have a wasp tattoo on his hand?

A tattoo?

No, he didn't.

His hands were clean, like a woman's.

Let's talk outside.

Judging by his voice, it's highly likely he's telling the truth.

Could he also have fallen into the real criminal's trap?

Just like he did to Jang Su-bok?

That sneaky rat.

He realized that we were after him

and used Kwak Min-su to slow us down.

But fortunately,

there's a possibility

that he doesn't know that Kwak Min-su

was arrested.

Detective Doh!

The chief inspector has arrived.

What shall we do now?

If Heracles is the real culprit,

we need to find clues leading to him.

We also need to Kwak Min-su's testimony.

What's the...

Then, wasn't that Heracles bastard…

trying to frame me from the very beginning?

I'm losing it, right now.

What if I become a murder suspect?

I need to find him if I want to get out of here.

Did he, by chance, have a wasp tattoo on his hand?

$10,000 in advance, $20,000 more when it's done.

That's right.

I didn't see any tattoo,

but he had pet insects.

I remember!

Yeah, I remember.

I remember now.

Who are you?

Just a moment.

This is insecticide.

Your heart will soon stop.

So are you saying that Officer Kwak Min-su

is a murder suspect?

He tried to stow away because of his gambling debts?

This is the first time I'm hearing this, too.

You know the Mt. Gangho case, yes?

We're looking into who made the acceleration program

and are suspicious of Officer Kwak Min-su.

We just need to ask him a few more questions.

That case? It's already been closed.

I heard no orders for it to be reopened.

Has this been approved by the higher-ups?

I just heard groaning and sounds of struggling.

And… the sound of latex gloves being strapped.

What?

You became a cop, and yet you gamble.

Even disgusting mosquitos transfer blood...

I don't know how…

What are you doing?

Are you sure someone's inside?

I'm certain someone else is in there.

I think they just opened the window.

Quickly!

Open the door! Open it now!

I don't believe this.

- Snap out of it! - Min... Min-su!

Quickly, call an ambulance. Now!

Min-su!

Min-su, get a hold of yourself!

He escaped through here.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…

- Detective Doh. - Hey, Min-su! Min-su!

Get up, you idiot!

Come on!

This can't be happening.

Hey, Min-su! Min-su!

(8:35 PM)

(Kwak Min-su, suspected of Jang Gyung-hak's murder, dies)

Why wasn't I told he had a panic disorder that can cause

heart attacks?

I didn't want to make matters worse.

I'm sorry.

But how was I supposed to know he could have a heart attack?

He looked healthy on the outside.

Are you serious right now?

You're headed for trouble.

Could he have been murdered?

It doesn't appear so.

Apart from the loan sharks, no one had a grudge against him.

No one would be crazy enough

to come inside the building.

Don't be so sure.

If the reporters get wind of this,

we'll never hear the end of it from the higher-ups.

Don't speak of this until we have orders from upstairs.

Maintain security here.

It's highly likely the suspect was in the building, right?

It seems like he caught Kwak Min-su off-guard

and gave him an injection to induce a heart attack.

It was the same at Mt. Gangho.

He's an expert with drugs.

He thought he'd be in the clear

if he put the blame on Kwak Min-su,

but he decided to kill him when he got arrested.

He must have waited nearby

after we got to Kwak Min-su first.

I'll check the CCTV from inside the building.

No.

As you can see, he took a route with no CCTV to escape.

He even had a coast guard uniform.

He was meticulous 3 years ago, too.

Let's talk.

What did you two do?

Did you conduct a coerced interrogation on Kwak Min-su?

No, we didn't.

And why did you rule out homicide?

Someone could have broken into…

If you want to know if we coerced him or whatever,

then find out yourself!

Isn’t that the chief inspector's job?

We're busy so we're leaving.

Let's go.

Do you want a reinvestigation?

It will take a month to prove this.

We don’t have time to argue.

Hey, Dok-gi.

It's a trap. Get out of there.

Don't leave anything behind.

What? Okay, understood.

I spread everything out

and now he tells me not to leave anything?

This won't fit back in.

Damn it.

Agent Park.

Kwak Min-su has died of a heart attack.

It was likely the work of the real culprit.

Tell Agent Jin to find out about

a member of Racing Toto named Heracles.

Contact me if you need a warrant.

I'll call you soon.

They probably haven't done the autopsy yet.

Still, something will have come out.

She thinks Kwak Min-su was murdered by the real culprit.

What? Murdered?

At the coast guard station?

That scumbag isn't playing around.

It seems this is getting more serious.

(racing-toto.net) Confirm the identity of a user named Heracles

Confirm the identity of a user named Heracles

on this website, quickly.

It's urgent.

I'm on it.

But... shouldn't we…

be trained to use a gun or something?

What kind of ridiculous question is that?

I mean, this real culprit

sounds like a smart psychopath.

What if he targets us?

I just think we should at least be prepared.

How dare they interrupt me.

Hey, Kwak Min-su!

Are you sure someone's inside?

I'm certain someone else is in there.

I think they just opened the window.

Quickly!

Wait a second.

Can that woman hear things that others can't?

It can't be.

(Lake Songhwa Drum Murder Case)

(Unidentified Victim/ Discovered with both wrists cut)

(/One glass eye)

Chief.

I just got a call from forensics.

DNA identification will take some time.

The body has no hands.

If you look here, there are cigarette burns on the arm.

However, we can't use this to identify the victim.

So now what?

You're just going to sit around twiddling your thumbs?

You said a witness saw the guy with a glass eye.

Search all of Poongsan if you have to.

Don't come back here until he's caught.

- Understood, let's go. - Yes, sir.

Hey, goodness…

Slow down.

Chief, we have the cause of Kwak Min-su's death.

It was a heart attack.

A heart attack?

Yes. Detective Doh and Director Kim

were talking with Kwak Min-su about something,

and that could have something to do with it.

Have you looked into what they spoke about?

Well, um…

It's the investigation meeting room,

so there's no CCTV or anything.

Detective Doh and Director Kang

have gone to the police hospital.

Get to the police hospital right away

and find out what they're talking about.

Yes, understood.

Doh Kang-woo.

People seem to die wherever you are.

What timing…

(You have a new message)

I have nothing to worry about, right?

You didn't leave any evidence, did you?

Do you not trust me?

That's not what I mean. I asked just in case.

One,

Dr. Fabre gathered to eliminate human vermin.

Two, Dr. Fabre members

are chosen only by the administrator.

I'm sorry.

Find out about the hearing ability of Golden Time's Kang Kwon-joo.

I plan to get rid of someone to make an example.

An example?

Ah…

There's that one who always hangs around and annoys us.

How about him?

Not bad.

Ask me whenever you need drugs.

The most fun thing in the world

is watching bugs die.

I freed him from the spider web,

yet he trying to tangle himself up again.

Detective Doh Kang-woo.

I know about the past

that you want to forget.

What are you going to do about it?

Now I'll really hurt you.

Just wait.

We'll need to do a more detailed autopsy,

but his blood test shows he suffered an acute heart attack.

We found creatine and a high concentration of caffeine

in his bloodstream.

Looking at the protein powder

and caffeine pills he had,

there's a high chance he consumed these regularly.

So after taking a mix of creatine and caffeine,

it seems he died suddenly after being caught

trying to stow away.

These days, people buy drugs on the internet,

so these cases aren't rare.

Any traces of having put up a fight?

Ah, this may look like he did,

but it's a common wound for those who have

sudden heart attacks.

Aside from this, there's a forehead wound.

Could the heart attack have been induced by drugs or an injection?

Someone could have injected

a dose of caffeine close to his heart.

Is there no chance that

the scar on his chest is hiding traces

of him being injected with something?

I'm not sure.

It's theoretically possible.

He could have been taking heart medication.

We'll have to entertain several hypothetical situations.

At any rate, an additional autopsy is necessary.

Detective Doh Kang-woo.

Do you know how to hunt a bear?

You hang a rock covered in honey between trees as bait.

The bear will then hit the rock to get the honey.

When it collapses after being hit by the stone, you cut its throat.

The end.

Doh Kang-woo, you are that stupid bear.

I'll send you a gift.

This bastard.

He's at my house.

Detective Doh!

Detective Doh, wait a minute.

Calm down and tell me what's going on.

What do you mean

he's at your house?

He sent me a picture of my house

with a threatening message.

If he wants to meet me, then I'll meet him.

You can't do this alone.

We have to go together.

I'll request a patrol team.

Let's take my car.

The patrol team will be here soon

so we should wait.

Even after seeing how quickly he disappeared before?

What if it's a trap?

He could be waiting inside.

You think that didn't occur to me

when we're facing a psycho like him?

This bastard.

He knows we're on his tail, so he bluffed.

A masked killer rarely exposes himself.

No.

He's so annoyed right now he's making mistakes.

He'll definitely have left something.

Remember what he said about sending me a gift?

(You're next)

(For you, it'll be the fingers)

Oh come on,

don't you believe me?

Eun-joo, I'm a cop.

Yeah.

I'm a genius hacker at Golden Time.

I'm telling you, they can't function without me.

Yeah.

Okay.

Don’t worry too much.

Yeah.

A month is pretty long,

but let's hang in there.

Yeah.

Don't worry too much.

Yeah.

Sleep well too, baby.

What the heck?

I definitely turned it off.

What the…

(You're next)

(For you, it'll be the fingers)

Hello, Director.

I was just about to call you.

I got some kind of prank mail…

Get out of your house, right now!

What?

He's targeted you.

He's probably set up a device in your house.

(Attempted terrorist attack on Agent Jin Seo-yul)

Agent Jin? Agent Jin!

What is it?

Something's happened to Agent Jin.

He lives in an officetel studio nearby.

Agent Park.

Agent Jin's computer has exploded. I think it's our culprit.

The lunatic has the nerve to target

the house of a Golden Time Team agent?

I checked out the CCTV,

and it's being repaired today, of all days.

Nothing was recorded.

Agent Jin, you said you saw cut-off fingers

on your monitor, right?

Yes, they filled my whole screen.

Then I heard the sounds of people screaming.

So I went to turn it off, but it exploded.

I'm the next target, right?

So, did…

We've got a team on patrol,

so don't worry.

Keep checking on each other frequently.

Yes, understood.

Ah, I…

That psycho left this here.

This looks like the 2nd basement floor of Poongsan Police Station.

Who is this person?

It couldn't be him, could it?

Let's find out.

Just a minute.

Thank goodness it wasn't more serious.

I know, right?

But the fact you're all here like this

makes me feel reassured.

I knew the Golden Time Team was the best.

Detective Doh.

You've done a lot of great work today.

Including Hee-ju's case.

Do you now see what a dangerous decision

you made?

I now know how much hate…

the culprit has inside of him.

However, I really don't get why he's

going to these lengths.

His acts are too evil for me to comprehend.

He's filled with hate and fury at the world.

What's important…

is that he targeted your team.

How about we drop everything else,

and just focus on catching that bastard?

We can't do that.

There are still many others

who need our help.

You saw, earlier, how important Golden Time is.

I have no idea why you choose

to live so tiringly.

You want to save people and prevent crime?

Do you think criminals will change

just because you decide to risk your life chasing them?

It's better to kill them where they stand.

Detective Doh.

What?

Deep down, I bet you feel the same.

Your hearing ability…

You probably think of it as a curse.

Because I'm sure you've heard

the rotten hearts of many criminals.

No.

I've never once thought of it as a curse.

Of course, it can be tough at times.

But I'm thankful I can hear things that others cannot.

Especially right now.

What I do as a police officer...

Saving people...

I'm proud of it.

Fair enough.

Our lives are our own to live.

But…

Don't assume that all detectives feel the same as you.

Police officers are people, too.

Some people do it to survive.

Some do it because they like the uniform.

And some…

become detectives so they can find out

what kind of people they really are.

That psycho bastard.

Just wait until I catch him…

I'll cut him into pieces.

How dare he do that to a cop!

I'm going to kill him.

But about Detective Doh…

I don’t think the rumor about him being Poongsan's best is wrong.

Just like Yeom Gi-tae,

he's exceptional at understanding the criminal mind.

It totally surprised me.

Do you like him? Do you?

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm still not convinced.

He seems to be confident in nothing but his own mind.

Hey, Gyung-hak and Jin-hyuk

were real cops, okay?

They were our true team leaders.

Who does he think he is?

What's this?

Yeah, it's me.

I'm working, what else?

What? Again?

I told you, no.

We already finished this discussion.

Honey,

are you really going to do this to me when our future's on the line?

If I don’t give an answer,

then someone else will take it.

How many times must I tell you

that Mrs. Baek donates a lot to charity

and also runs a huge business?

The construction firm is willing to sell a few,

so if we buy now, the value will skyrocket!

She's doing this specially for me!

Excuse me, ma'am.

With what money would we buy

an apartment? It’s a total sham!

Who says we'd buy it alone?

We'll buy it together and divide the rent.

Then its value will increase in a few years.

How will we put So-min

in a good middle school district on your salary?

I've told you my answer, which is no.

And since when do we care about school districts?

Give it a rest!

Ugh, whatever.

Anyway, I'm going to Poongsan to look around tomorrow.

Just know that.

Ah, your director liked

the cucumber kimchi I sent last time.

I'll take some when I go.

Ugh.

I'm slaving away here, being a good wife.

Why do you need to come?

Don't do anything stupid!

I'll never see you again, got it?

Bye!

Hang up!

Honey, wait…

What was that about?

It was nothing.

My wife's just getting her hopes high on something.

Sir, it's "getting her hopes up."

You want a beating?

Ugh, for goodness sake.

How did he become a cop if he's

this much of a coward?

Ah, hello, ma'am!

Hello, Hee-jin. How did it go?

If your husband doesn't agree, then do it next time.

There are plenty of mothers who want this.

Ah, other mothers?

No, of course my husband is fine with it.

Only an idiot would pass this up.

That's a relief, then.

Then, where should we meet tomorrow?

I'll go to your house.

We can take my car.

Ah, okay.

See you tomorrow, then.

Goodbye.

It's fine. I'm only taking a look.

I might look like this, but I've been a cop's wife for 8 years!

Wait a minute.

I should dress up.

Let's see.

I wore this when we were still dating.

Will I fit in it?

- Snap out of it! - Min-su, get a hold of yourself!

Min-su!

He's filled with hate and fury at the world.

What's important is that he targeted your team.

Who could have done this?

(Beloved Director Kang/ Sender Moo Jin-hyuk)

that vermin's fingers off.

I'll catch that bastard.

So just tell me what he looked like!

You want to know who?

It was you.

and killed me, too…

It was you!

You killed me!

No… No!

No! No! No!

Cut it well.

Smoothly.

(Poongsan District Police Agency)

Someone broke into Agent Jin's house yesterday (Poongsan District Police Agency)

and placed an explosive device in his computer.

Thankfully, he escaped with only a few injuries,

but with this warning

the culprit has shown us that he can

pose a threat to our entire team.

As of today, the Golden Time Team is in a state of alert.

Always stay in teams of two,

and don't forget to carry your batons.

Understood.

And everyone, please take care of

Detective Yang, as he's new.

Yes, ma'am.

Shall we conclude this morning's meeting?

Okay.

Agent Jin,

your shoulder's look like they'll hit the floor.

How are you going to survive

now that you can't type?

You're screwed.

It's only a slight burn.

And there are plenty of other things I can do.

If that punk came in when I was home,

I would've beaten him up. Right?

- Beaten him up? - Tough guy.

Why didn't Detective Doh come to the meeting?

Didn't he come to work today?

What do you mean?

He came in earlier and just went to sleep.

He just didn't want to come to the meeting.

Detective Park doesn't seem fond

of Detective Doh at all.

Director Kang.

We need to talk.

- You head on back. - Okay.

I explained to you what kind of person

Doh kang-woo is…

and you still keep him on?

I think Detective Doh has proven how qualified

he is for the Golden Time Team

after the Yeom Gi-tae case yesterday.

I know that you have issues with him

because of your brother,

but please believe in us for this month.

We won't let you down.

Well then.

Is this some petty form of revenge?

You'd understand why I'm being like this…

if it'd happened to you.

Just know that nobody in Poongsan…

knows him like I do.

It's all over if I press this!

You all die!

Bring that man to me right now!

Right now!

Look! Over there!

Exactly how many of his plans

has this bastard carried out?

Yeah, go ahead.

His mom from the countryside

appear to know absolutely nothing.

She's in hysterics right now.

Just a minute.

Bring back my Min-su

Bring back my Min-su!

You'll collapse at this rate!

You heard that, right?

Anyway, I don’t think we can much else here.

I'm thinking of visiting that Kang-doo in prison.

He's always drifting in and out of sanity,

so I'm not sure if we'll get anything.

But still, should I go?

Just do as you're ordered.

Okay.

Goodness, it’s dark.

What is this?

It's not very nice here.

This will be fun.

Is this a time to be playing with that toy?

It's harder than I thought to use my left and right brain together.

He's never been on vacation in his life…

Anyway, it seems like

you don't like me very much, Detective Park.

I think you're mistaken, Detective Doh.

It's not that it seems like I don't like you much…

I really don’t like you.

But you're my superior, so I've got no choice.

I'm used to people not liking me.

But let's try not to stress each other out.

I'm not here because I like this place, either.

Don't you think everyone

has their reasons for hating you?

Anyhow,

the only people I respect

are Gyung-hak and Jin-hyuk.

This is an upsetting situation,

but it can't be helped.

Upsetting?

I'm much younger than you.

You can tell just by our shells, no?

And I don't want your respect.

I barely even know you.

What? Shells?

People tell me I look young. I don't believe this.

What do you mean "shells"?

You should say "how we look."

When were you born, Detective Goo?

1983.

Ah, that makes you the same age as me.

I was born in early 1983. (5 minutes before suicide of senior citizen in Oksan-dong)

This is the 112 emergency center.

Sir, could you calm down and

explain the situation slowly?

(Poongsan-si, Oksan-dong)

Hello?

My Soon-hee...

has hanged herself to death.

Suicide?

Send an ambulance… no,

send the police, quickly!

Could you please tell me your name and address?

As well as the name of the victim.

My name is Kim Sang-gu.

I live at 311 Oksan1- ro, Poongsan.

The caller is Kim Sang-gu and the victim is Won Soon-hee.

They're at 311 Oksan1-ro, Poongsan.

Director, it's an elderly suicide.

Won Soon-hee, 70 years old, and a tenant.

She lost her husband 20 years ago and has one son,

Kang Jong-seok, who's listed as having bad credit

as his home business went bankrupt.

This is Director Kang Kwon-joo.

Am I speaking with Kim Sang-gu?

Yes.

And the suicide victim is Won Soon-hee, yes?

I'm sorry, but what is your relation to her?

Have you checked that she's dead?

I told you she is.

It was her 70th birthday today, so

I came to give her a birthday cake

and I found her hanging by the neck, dead.

She had cancer.

She'd recently started talking about how she wanted to die.

But still, how could…

How could she take her own life?

Sir, please calm down.

Please try and explain to me in more detail.

What I'm saying is…

On a joyous day like today,

let's not be sad or depressed.

Let's take a trip together

and have a good time.

Happy birthday, Soon-hee.

Soon-hee! I'm here!

Oh? Oh my…

But as soon as I walked through the door,

The smell of blood hit my nose.

Her dog was dead,

and the fish tank had been smashed on the floor.

What on earth happened?

She's not breathing.

I think she's dead!

She'd really been diagnosed with stage-3 stomach cancer.

Contact paramedics and the patrol team.

Tell them it's a suicide report.

Yes, ma'am.

Something feels off.

She may have committed suicide because of her illness,

but it's very rare that people kill their pets.

We agreed to be strong and live together!

Wait!

You're alive?

You're alive? Breathe!

Police!

Soon-hee is alive!

What are you saying, sir?

Soon-hee… Huh?

She just breathed for a moment,

and stopped again.

Could you please place your phone towards

Soon-hui's nose and mouth?

Okay.

Her airwaves opened after the rope was released,

but she still can't breathe properly.

Sir, Won Soon-hee is suffering from

prolonged asphyxia right now.

(Prolonged Asphyxia) prolonged asphyxia right now.

Please tilt her head back and open her airwaves. (Prolonged Asphyxia)

(If the airways are not completely blocked) Please tilt her head back and open her airwaves.

(or if they're blocked for just a short time,) Please tilt her head back and open her airwaves.

Oh, okay. Okay. (the victim breathes again,)

(only to suddenly die after some time passes,)

(or to die due to severe pulmonary edema)

(112/Speaker Mode)

We need to start chest compressions.

Lie her down.

It will be tough until paramedics arrive,

but don't stop compressing the center of her chest.

Where are the emergency services?

There's been an accident at Oksan Market Intersection,

so they'll take about 10 minutes.

It's too much for a man in his 70s

to keep administering first aid alone.

And also, something seems strange about it all.

Is the address close to the station?

Yes. 5 minutes away.

We have a code one.

The caller is 72-year-old Kim Sang-gu.

He lives at 311 Oksan1-ro.

We have a report of a 70-year-old suffering from

prolonged asphyxia due to an attempted suicide.

(My Beautiful Wife) prolonged asphyxia due to an attempted suicide.

(My Beautiful Wife)

Hee-jin, I've just been dispatched somewhere.

Honey!

8 minutes until paramedics arrive.

If too much time passes, severe brain damage could occur.

Dispatch Team, please be quick.

Let's go.

Your wife will be upset.

It can't be helped.

There's no time for phone calls. Let's go!

(Husband)

Bring my luggage!

Now!

Mister!

The police will be there soon.

Hold on a little longer.

My arm is tired.

You're the only person who can

save her right now.

Please…

Detective Doh, please try and hurry.

Mr. Kim Sang-gu? It's the police.

Please move aside.

We'll take it from here.

Ma'am, are you awake?

Her breathing is stabilizing.

One, two, three.

Take Mr. Kim with you.

This is Dispatch 2.

I think she'll be okay.

Situation under control.

You're very good at performing CPR.

That was nothing.

There are many things I'm good at.

Who would do this to a dog?

Why would they do that?

Why are there freezer foods

in the refrigerator?

This wasn't suicide.

Someone broke in to murder her

and disguise it as suicide.

A man much larger than her.

Someone familiar with violence.

Director Kang.

I think this could be an attempted murder.

Attempted murder?

The electrical cord used to hang her,

was tied using a figure-8 knot that's used in the army.

And who would hang themselves

on a long-broken doorknob?

It just doesn't add up.

Check if anyone came to her house before the report was made.

Check the caller's alibi, too.

Agent Jin, check all the CCTVs in the area.

Agent Park, find out if anyone had grudges or money issues with her.

- Yes, ma'am. - Understood.

Director, there aren't any nearby her house.

However, there were some cameras

installed by the crime-prevention squad.

But it's under local jurisdiction, so I'll have to get permission.

Are you saying there's a chance

that it's not suicide, rather an attempted murder?

The doorknob was broken.

Someone strangled her and then hanged her

in a hurry.

There's no way a 70-year-old lady could tie that knot.

Start sweeping the area.

- Understood. - Okay.

But why were the freezer foods

moved into the refrigerator?

What are you talking about?

She's not the type

to harbor a grudge against anyone.

She's not that kind of person.

She was an extremely generous,

angelic woman!

You said today was the first time

you'd been to her house, right?

Sorry?

Wait, are you suspecting me now?

It's Soon-hee's birthday today,

so I went to the bathhouse and barbershop in the morning.

Check for yourself.

Okay, sir.

Director.

I just spoke with the social worker.

Apparently Won Soon-hee never had issues with anyone.

A few days ago, she even made kimchi

for a charity worker who frequents her house.

Director, you should see this.

It says here she received $50,000 (Savings Transaction Statement)

(Savings Transaction Statement)

from her insurance company because of her cancer. (Savings Transaction Statement)

But there are no traces of her using this account since then,

which means she could be storing her money at home.

Detective Doh.

There's a chance that Won Soon-hee is storing

$50,000 in insurance payouts at her house.

At any rate, I think you were right

about this being a set-up.

Director.

(Call History) Director.

I have Soon-hee's phone records, (Call History)

I have Soon-hee's phone records,

and she talked to a suspected

voice phishing number for 20 minutes.

(Time/Call Duration 20 minutes 23 seconds) voice phishing number for 20 minutes.

This looks like a typical voice phishing pattern.

Voice phishing?

This is Dispatch 3.

We’ve found a witness.

This is Dispatch 1.

Where are you now?

Outside a restaurant near her house.

The store owner's mother said she saw something.

Got it. I'm on my way.

I saw a young woman

leaving Soon-hee's house.

She ran that way, wearing a red dress.

You brat! Get back here!

Do you remember their faces?

Of course.

The woman was pretty.

She looked like a mother.

I think she was in her 30s.

Then that man came out and chased after her.

He looked quite menacing.

He looked like a thug to me.

And one of his eyes...

was fake.

Ah! He spoke with a North Korean accent.

We have the suspects' details.

A woman in her mid-to-late 30s,

wearing a red dress.

And a man in his 30s

with an artificial eye.

There's a high chance he's Korean-Chinese.

As voice phishing crime rates rise,

carriers have started taking off

with the money of the victims,

so there are many cases of hiring separate surveillance.

Director.

You should see this.

Aren't these the suspects?

- I think so. - Zoon in.

Oh? This guy really has a prosthetic eye.

I've found him. Geum Tak-wi, 37 years old.

(Personal Files/Geum Tak-wi) I've found him. Geum Tak-wi, 37 years old.

I've found him. Geum Tak-wi, 37 years old.

He's an ethnic Korean from Yanbian, China.

(Korean-Chinese who came over from Yanbian) He was boss of the Baek Du Gang

and managed to smuggle his way here (Korean-Chinese who came over from Yanbian)

and managed to smuggle his way here

after being sentenced to death in China.

Could he have been scouted into a voice phishing group after?

This is the center.

We're assuming that the

Won Soon-hee case is a voice phishing case.

One of the suspects appears to

a male Chinese-born Korean

who avoided the authorities

and smuggled himself into Korea illegally.

Dispatch Team, please head to 300 Oksan1-ro

and find out what the female carrier dropped there.

Roger that, we're on our way.

This way! Let's go!

(12:40 PM)

(Oksan elder's attempted murder case)

(elevated to critical level)

(Poongsan-si, Eoro-dong)

It's 304 again, right?

They do this no matter how many times I tell them.

They should be considerate.

How can they not think of others?

Officer, have a stern word with them, please.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

These are all your mother's favorites.

Has she gotten better?

That disease... Mannie, is it?

I heard it feels like everything's spinning, even when sitting down.

Yes. She's gotten better now we've changed her medication.

Mom, I'm back.

You waited for a while, didn't you?

I'll get changed and prepare some food.

Ah, that's right.

Mom, didn't our neighbors from unit 304

park in obstructive spots in the past, too?

When I was coming up,

they'd parked in a stupid spot again.

They don't change, even though I talk to them.

Okay…

Ah, it's causing trouble again.

Mom, the music…

That old piece of junk.

I guess we really need to buy a new one.

Why are you so stubborn,

even when I offer to buy you a new one?

Really, now.

For goodness sake.

It's totally broken, isn't it?

I'll buy you a new one tomorrow,

so don't be too upset, Mom.

Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!

You shouldn't run.

You can't follow orders properly so you're running away?

Is it that hard to get money from a freezer?

I was sent on an errand to get something

from my aunt's house at Mrs. Baek's request.

I won't tell anyone,

so please just let me go.

Again with that. Errand?

But what should I do?

You've seen my face.

Director.

Doesn't that woman look a lot

like Detective Park's wife?

Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this?

Detective Doh!

The female carrier

appears to be Detective Park's wife.

Ah, and work's gotten busy,

so I'll have to hurry.

When this is all finished,

let's go and see the ocean together.

You can hang until then, Mom, right?

(12:50 PM)

(30 minutes after the Oksan-dong attempted murder case)

(Voice 2)

Even useless people

want to give their deaths

big meaning.

I think they kidnapped Ahn Hee-jin

because she's a police officer's wife.

You get provoked too easily.

Who will handle the situation if you cause trouble?

You want to see me go crazy?

Judging from the pattern of this case,

there's a high chance Ahn Hee-jin will be murdered.

Why did you give birth to me and make me suffer?

I got money.

I'll be right there.

I'll take responsibility for saving your wife. Don’t worry.

I think this will be dangerous.

Then will you let her die like that?

Kang Kwon-joo, I really want your ears.
