-=Restricted Area=-

We found Im Jeong.

That woman you want to protect,

you should have stayed and protected her.

You protect that woman.

Don't hide because you're afraid.

-=Between Life and Death=-

I heard the murder weapon was found at the scene.

The killer will be caught soon.

You should just wait and see.

Were any fingerprints on the weapon?

That old man was killed by a professional.

There's no way he would leave any fingerprints.

No fingerprints doesn't mean it was professional.

He cut the brachial artery.

The brachial artery is the major artery of the upper arm.

Once the brachial artery was cut,

there would be a massive blood loss,

and the victim would bleed out in less than a minute.

The old man's body didn't have any other wounds.

He didn't fight back, but was killed with one expertly placed stab wound.

In other words, he was caught by surprise.

The killer even factored in the victim's natural reflexes.

In this case, the killer was a professional.

One of the top 5%. A pro.

A hired killer.

They kill without emotions.

They have no emotions and they leave no evidence.

And without emotions... they feel no guilt.

-=New message from Prosecutor Oh Jae Won=-

Go to the office. There's someone waiting to see us.

You should all meet him since we'll be working with him.

Who is it? I never heard about adding anyone to the team.

-=Episode 7=-

Wow, it's nice to finally meet all of you.

From now on, we're going to be working together.

I am Special Prosecutor Oh Jae Won.

I finally got Squad Leader Oh to agree to letting me meet you.

Thank you for listening to my request, Squad Leader Oh.

Wow, Pak Ung Cheol.

Your whole body looks very strong, and those fists are very hard.

Please continue to use them on all those bad guys.

This must be Jeong Tae Su, who caught the Dobong serial killer, right?

I look forward to working with you.

I'm Inspector Yu Mi Yeong from the Seoul National Police Agency.

Have you heard of me?

Yes. A little.

Let's work well together, Inspector Yu.

Oh! It's been a while, Jeong Mun!

-=PCL-R Psychopathic Personality Checklist Results=-

Out of 40 points possible, you scored 38.

You're a psychopath, Lee Jeong Mun.

Has it already been 3 years?

You haven't changed one bit.

Have you been well?

Ah, I suppose not.

There were all those murders in Hwayeondong.

You'd probably like to put all that behind you, so I shouldn't bring it up.

I'm sorry.

Jeong Mun, you haven't forgotten the past?

Hey, of course you've forgotten!

It's all water under the bridge for you and Squad Leader Oh,

so that's why you can come together here. Otherwise...

Prosecutor Oh!

That's enough.

Don't get so nervous.

I promised I wouldn't say anything.

Okay then. I'll just quietly get back to work.

Ah, by the way...

you have a case with a dead hitman named Im Jeong Dae, don't you?

I didn't mean to get involved,

but while I was waiting for you all, I got a call from Forensic Services.

Forensic Services? Did they find something?

Apparently, they found fingerprints on the murder weapon.

They probably belong to the murderer.

Wait a moment.

In any case, congratulations.

Enjoy living a normal life. =[wedding invitation]=

What was the cause of death?

Suicide. By hanging.

Oppa! Oppa! Oppa!

Gu Hyeon Wu killed Im Jeong Dae and then hung himself out of guilt.

Is that how it went?

I wonder.

A guy who's just about to get married suddenly kills himself.

Doesn't that seem a little off?

Fingerprints on the murder weapon, so there's enough evidence.

Everything falls into place nicely... it's strange.

You're Detective Jeong Tae Su, right?

Let me ask you one thing.

Detective, do you really believe my Hyeon Wu killed himself?

That... requires more investigation.

My Hyeon Wu wouldn't be so irresponsible.

He said he was so happy to be marrying me,

and he wanted to build a happy life together.

He even asked me about his leg,

and because he would walk with a limp at our wedding,

if it would embarrass me in front of my friends.

He really wanted to be a good husband, but he felt sorry to me.

When he told me he was sorry, he was crying.

I don't know if it's appropriate for me to say this or not,

but if Hyeon Wu didn't kill himself and was murdered by someone else,

I will do everything in my power to catch whoever did this.

You can count on that.

I noticed that Gu Hyeon Wu's leg was in a brace.

Would you happen to know... what happened to him?

Oppa told me there was an accident at the shooting range not long ago.

I asked him what happened and who did it,

but he wouldn't tell me any of the details.

Jeong Seok hyeong. Be careful of him.

If you want to wash your hands of everything, then we need to settle our accounts.

Isn't that how we keep things straight?

Many things in our body come in pairs, Hyeon Wu.

Even if one of the two malfunctions,

you can always depend on the one that's left.

When there's only one left, that's how you learn to treasure it.

Shall we settle our accounts now?

Congratulations on your marriage. I'll give you a red envelope, (money wedding gift)

on your wedding day.

Tae Su, what do you think you're doing?

Like I said, I'm going to catch whoever killed the old man.

Hyeon Wu? It wasn't him.

Why do you think so?

Because he didn't have that kind of ability.

Hyeon Wu used a gun. He was clumsy with knives.

Would someone like that be able to expertly slice the brachial artery,

and predict the old man's defensive posture?

It's definitely someone else.

So you're saying an expert with a knife killed Im Jeong Dae,

framed Gu Hyeon Wu for it,

then killed Gu Hyeon Wu by making it look like a suicide.

Is that what you're thinking?

I'm positive.

Does that mean you're also sure who the murderer is?

You're an expert in that field.

You must have an idea who it is.

Suicide, accidental death.

If you can't do that, then make it look like revenge, passion, or betrayal.

As long as you don't leave fingerprints on the weapon,

framing someone else is easy.

That's his method.

That used to be my method, too.

Remember, if you want to live, don't interfere in this case.

He's not someone who will leave you with a few superficial wounds.

You'd never be able to stop him.

Im Jeong ajussi is dead.

Hyeon Wu is also dead.

It's been a while, Tae Su.

Jeong Seok... where is he now?

You think it was Jeong Seok who killed them?

I don't know either. We haven't been in contact for a while.

All of the business in this circle goes through you, ajussi.

So all of the professionals, where they are,

and what they're doing, you know it like the back of your hand.

So quit stalling and just tell me.

Where is Jeong Seok right now?

Still water will stagnate and even rocks stuck in the mud can be pulled out.

That's a fact of life.

He's been using a different contact person for a long time now.

Then after you, who became his contact?

His name is Gim Do Sik.

It may be because he's young, but his mind is always spinning.

I hear he's very good at matching professionals with the targets.

If something goes wrong, he's quick to replace the professionals, too.

Where can I find this Gim Do Sik bastard?

From appearances, there's not one indication of homicide.

Now we're even moonlighting as forensic technicians, for god's sake.

Was he leaving the country or something? What the heck?

Come look at this!

There's not a single fingerprint in this house, even on the TV remote.

Every trace of my existence in this house has been eliminated.

That means I don't want anyone to know that I lived here.

It also means... I know someone is coming for me.

Luminol. You have Luminol, right?

-=Tae Su hyeong=-

Yes?

-=Tae Su hyeong=-

Did you find something?

Yeah. There seems to have been a lot of blood here.

Gu Hyeon Wu's face wasn't injured, right?

Are you saying Jeong Tae Su was right?

Tae Su was right. Gu Hyeon Wu didn't commit suicide. It was murder.

I heard they just finished analyzing the parking lot CCTV recordings.

Around the estimated time of Gu Hyeon Wu's death,

there was one car leaving the parking lot

that they were unable to identify.

What about the driver? Could they see his face?

No. Because of the resolution and distance, he couldn't be seen clearly.

But, they identified the number of people in the car.

How many were there?

Driver's seat, passenger seat, back seat. Three in total.

That means the killer of Im Jeong Dae and Gu Hyeon Wu,

could have been two different people. Is that how it was?

It seems this case won't be easy to solve.

I'll ask for assistance with the blood analysis.

Okay.

Hey, stop looking now. Just stop.

Since Gu Hyeon Wu and Im Jeong Dae left,

even ants don't come here. Why are you still looking?

You'll strain your eyes.

You're going to piss through your eyes, so stop looking.

I mean, maybe Gu Hyeon Wu really did kill Im Jeong Dae and then commit suicide.

Why do we have to take Jeong Tae Su's word for it and have to suffer like this?

That might be true.

Because a knife always stabs from behind.

Ung Cheol, a knife always stabs you from behind.

Remember that.

What the hell did you mean by that?

Just how it sounds.

Someone can be killed by a person they trust.

Stop acting like everyone is evil.

Don't repeat the words of others like they must be true, or I just might kill you after all.

Then go ask your hyeongnim.

The person who wants me dead... go ask him who it is.

Whatever. Do what you want.

This kid is so annoying...

Who is it?

Did Lee Du Gwang send you here?

I'll go ask him myself.

Jeong Mun, let me take care of this.

Here. Please kill this guy in the most agonizing way possible.

Honey, you're not asleep, are you?

Are you... Gim Do Sik?

Hey, you should stay here.

If you go in, I won't be able to find out anything. Stay here.

would you just stay here

Don't worry. I'll handle it.

Before I knew who you were, I only had one thing to ask.

But now that I know who you are, I have a lot of things to ask.

Let's take them one at a time.

If you don't answer me truthfully,

this is just a little preview of what will happen.

You remember asking me to kill Lee Jeong Mun, right?

What does that have to do with this case?

A few weeks ago, someone came to me.

Lee Jeong Mun... he said he wanted me to kill Lee Jeong Mun.

The market price and information on the professionals he wanted,

he already knew in advance.

He even said he had picked the best professional who could definitely handle it very easily.

Who was that professional?

The old man? Hyeon Wu?

No, it was you. The one that person said he wanted was you, Jeong Tae Su.

What are you looking at? Go back to work.

Hyeongnim, we need to talk!

Hyeongnim isn't here right now.

Get lost, punk.

Enough.

That person specifically asked for me. Why?

How would I know?

It was only because that person asked for you,

that I even approached you.

But you refused, so I recommended someone else for the job.

There was nothing else! Really!

Who was it that you recommended?

Pak Jeong Seok?

I knew the best person wasn't you, it was him.

Jeong Seok killed Teacher Im and Gu Hyeon Wu. I'm certain.

Why do you think so?

You know how Teacher Im died, don't you?

Among the professionals that I know,

Pak Jeong Seok is the only one who is that skilled with a knife.

- And the call. - Call?

I don't know how Teacher Im found out,

but he called me that night,

and he even shouted at me.

Who is it? Who is it?

And so?

I told him... it was Pak Jeong Seok.

And then after that, Teacher Im died.

Get it now?

I don't know what your abilities are,

but if you want to live, you should step away from this.

If you provoke Pak Jeong Seok, it will end in a violent death for you.

Anyway, Lee Jeong Mun is the only one who needs to die.

Once Lee Jeong Mun dies, this all comes to an end.

So, we should just wait until Jeong Seok finishes the job.

Should you say something like that?

You already know. Lee Jeong Mun is a dead man.

He's going to end up dead eventually. But if you insist on trying to save him,

don't ever leave Lee Jeong Mun by himself.

Who asked you to kill Lee Jeong Mun?

What are you talking about?

Why did you send someone to deal with Jeong Mun!

That guy saved your life!

Is the bastard behind this really that scary?

Ung Cheol, whether you believe it or not,

I never sent anyone over there.

I've already stepped away from it.

What? Then just now, who were...

Pak Jeong Seok can never find out when Jeong Mun will be alone.

If there is anyone with him,

he will do his best to separate them.

He will kill him... and only God will know.

Hurry.

Nurse Gim, we need more type A blood,

so prepare several more units.

I heard it was only 3 cm from the lung.

I've heard the story from Ung Cheol.

He said someone hired Lee Du Gwang to have him killed.

But I don't think Lee Du Gwang's men know how to use a knife like that.

If you saw the wound, you would understand.

The type of knife he used isn't typical of a street thug.

The blade was curved upward.

Whoever attacked Jeong Mun dropped the knife at the scene.

Ung Cheol's fingerprints were on that knife.

If Jeong Mun had died at the scene,

Ung Cheol could have been left facing murder charges without a defense.

The method seems similar, doesn't it? Between this and the case of your old man.

You know who did this to Jeong Mun, don't you?

I am asking you how that case is related to what had happened to Jeong Mun.

Someone tried to hire me to kill Lee Jeong Mun.

Who was it? Who's the bastard who ordered that?

I have no idea.

But, I think there's someone who would know.

What's going on here?

Which hospital is it?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Unlock these, damn it!

Committing suicide by overdose on sleeping pills.

-=Recent Calls=-

Like you said, if Lee Jeong Mun had died on the spot,

Pak Ung Cheol would have been arrested as a murderer.

If that's how the case was closed,

then anyone who valued Lee Jeong Mun,

would spend their lifetime hating the wrong person. Of course.

There's no other choice now. I have to go see him myself.

See who?

This annoying evil bastard. He must also want an end to it.

Take good care of Lee Jeong Mun.

I have told you many times, Su Cheol.

When you're trying to make a hanging look like suicide,

you must place the rope here, across the Adam's apple.

That way, after the Adam's apple moves, it will be clamped between it and the muscle,

so then they can't breathe.

That way, the heart stops beating sooner,

and you won't have much of a struggle to deal with.

I told you many times, Su Cheol. Didn't I?

You should have killed that kid, Hyeon Wu like that.

As for that bastard, Lee Jeong Mun, that goes without saying, right?

Su Cheol, I have killed you using the proper method.

I'll bring a generous donation to your funeral,

and give your mother a big hug.

Today, a lot of blood is going to be spilled.

3. 6. 5. 3. 5. 1.

Latitude 36� 53' 51.5'' North.

Longitude 126� 49' 43.7'' East.

It's been a while, Jeong Tae Su.

Who hired you to kill Lee Jeong Mun?

Wow, you don't waste any time.

Aren't you at least going to greet your long-lost friend?

- Who was it? - I don't know.

I only accepted the commission from Gim Do Sik.

We only accept the commissions and make the hits,

but we never meet the clients in person. You know that.

You can't kill Lee Jeong Mun... absolutely.

If you were with him, that might indeed be true.

But you're with me now.

Surely you don't think I called you here because I missed seeing your face?

That kid, Lee Jeong Mun, will die.

No wait, he's probably already dead.

You must laugh at those people, right?

An over-the-hill cop,

a woman who thinks she's smarter than everyone,

a thug who can only fight with his fists,

I couldn't even bother laughing at them.

That's right. You're absolutely right.

But there's something you don't know.

Who are you?

I've been punched a few times by that guy, so I know.

If you'd been punched, you'd probably know too...

just how strong that guy's fists are.

Asshole.

You're still sleeping, kid? I'm exhausted.

Ajussi and Hyeon Wu... why did you kill them?

I guess that kid, Gim Do Sik, didn't tell you everything after all.

In spite of business ethics, I thought for sure he would have spilled it all.

I didn't have to kill him after all.

What do you mean?

You rejected the commission to kill Lee Jeong Mun.

Apparently, there was an additional condition.

That if you refused... then you were also to be killed.

So that part... that's my job now, Tae Su.

Im Jeong Dae... he died because of you.

If he hadn't interfered, I definitely would have killed you.

To protect you, he went a little overboard.

Before that guy takes action, we must strike him first.

That's why he... ended up dead.

Let's go do it.

Pulling a gun, 2 seconds.

Taking aim, 1 second.

Squeezing the trigger, 0.5 second.

3.5 seconds in total.

Who is quicker, you or I?

Make a good decision.

You may have two legs, but you only have one life.

You have to get married, little brother.

You even have the day chosen.

What about Hyeon Wu? Did you have to kill him?

You put his fingerprints on the knife and turned him into a murderer.

Then you made it look like he committed suicide.

He's gone now, so be sure to tie things up cleanly.

You knew he'd already set the date?

I had nothing personal against Hyeon Wu.

But killing people is what I do.

I do feel sorry for that fiance of his, though.

Sorry?

Hyeon Wu was like a little brother to us.

Ajussi is the person who raised us.

Those are the people you killed!

But you said it like it was nothing, Jeong Seok.

Do you remember what the old man used to say?

You, me, Hyeon Wu. When we all worked for the old man,

there was something he would always say.

"Yes, although committing murder might be easy..."

Although committing murder might be easy, it's the guilt that's difficult.

Remember that.

We should both live an easier life, Tae Su.

Don't insist on choosing the difficult path, okay?

The two of us... have gone too far to choose the easy path.

You remember, don't you?

The next time we both met, one of us would have to die.

Today, you and I...

one of us... is going to die.

Turn the knife. Hurry.

Turn it. Kill me already!

I don't kill people anymore.

No. I can't kill you.

Taking away someone precious, the sadness and the agony...

the guilt you feel from robbing someone of a loved one...

I... I found out what that feels like, so I just can't kill anymore.

And Jeong Seok...

if all those who remember me leave this world and die,

and if I have to send you away too, Jong Seok,

then... I will truly be alone.

Don't leave me alone. I beg you.

If I survive, the first person I kill will be you.

Are you ready for that?

The old man, Hyeon Wu... and even you...

how did you all change so much?

I've always been living in the gutter.

That was my life.

But you guys... why did you try to climb out?

Why? Why? Why?

You must have found a good woman.

You changed too much after you met her.

I didn't change because I met her...

but I was able to meet her because I changed.

So stop things here. Please.

Please, okay? Please, Jeong Seok hyeong!

In my life, I've found that it's easy to wipe the blood off your hands.

but you can't wash the blood out of your mind, or the guilt.

That doesn't wipe off, Jeong Seok.

You should turn around quickly and leave.

It's too late for me.

He was a good father. And a good husband.

In his whole life, he had never hurt anyone.

To kill someone like that... just what was the reason?

That person, if he was truly sorry for what he had done,

could you accept... his apology?

An apology... is for when you make a mistake.

Murder... isn't a mistake. It's a crime.

Forgiving that person is something I can't do... ever.

Detective Jeong?

What's going on, Detective?

Did you get hurt? There's blood...

Have you been somewhere?

I had a few errands to run, including the bank.

Oh, that's right. What you said to me before,

about why I hadn't been receiving that $1000 every month.

A social worker came to see me recently.

That person said I had a bank account under my name,

and that every month, $1000 had been deposited in that account.

They asked why I hadn't claimed it.

It seems money had been deposited for 2 years now, so it was quite a lot.

The bank had been sending me account notices all the time,

but they had all been sent to my old address.

Seon Jeong.

Go ahead, Detective Jeong.

Never mind. It seems I'm not even close.

I'm sorry. I know how it feels now to lose someone precious,

and to be truly alone after everyone else has left.

I'm so sorry... I'm sorry.

You....

In my entire life,

this is the first time I've been asked to follow the person who hired me.

You don't need to worry. I'll record everything.

We'll see whether you really kill someone or not...

You've come rather late. By two years.

You must already know the reason I came to find you.

You want to know if I recorded any proof,

of whether you're a killer or not.

While I was following you, I saw it very clearly.

As to what kind of a person you are,

I guess I'm the one who knows best,

even better than you?

And so? What did you see?

I am not sure how you're going to take this.

Lee Jeong Mun, you really are a killer.

What the hell is that kid up to?

You killed those people.

The culprit in the Hwayeondong serial murders was you.

Lee Jeong Mun, it was you.

I came to dissolve the Special Crime Investigation Unit.
