[Episode 12] [Seodong Police Station]

The duct tape found at the crime scene was produced by a different company.

I don't think that the wounds on the victim's wrists are from the string being tied.

Take a look. This is the string, but it hasn't been used.

The duct tape over there has collected dust.

Seeing that it hasn't been touched, he probably forgot it was even there.

This person is not the murderer who killed Joo Yeon.

Is he really not the culprit who killed Go Joo Yeon?

Not sure... We just don't have enough scientific evidence. I am not a profiler, am I?

Right. Anyway, these fake profilers need to do a scientific investigation.

But they just talk their own way... I don't like this.

Between 32 to 36 years of age. About 170 to 175cm in height. 'Easy on the eyes' face. Unmarried with no sexual experience.

He works in security, either a rent-a-cop or guard and wears a uniform similar to the police.

The culprit considered her an object to be fixed.

That is why the culprit used duct tape for the crime.

The reason to sanitize the victim's body with alcohol was that he considered it a filthy object.

He's already at the stage where he can't control himself.

The line between his fantasy and reality has broken down and he's only left with the desire to repeat his previous murders.

That's the reason he appeared in Seodong-moon Market again.

Why do you think he stopped committing crimes for seven years?

To find that reason, I consider the possibilities of military service, death, mental hospital, prison, and immigration.

Then I factored in the estimated age and active territories

- and came up with 54,600 suspects-- - What? 54,600 suspects?

After spending all that money...?

If I tell you the result first, the list has shrunk to 38 suspects.

Is that so...?

I'll give you the specific culprit by tomorrow.

You mean it?

I'll definitely catch him.

Really? Did he say it like that?

That's what I said. I told you that undergarment thief smelled of something.

- I saw it. - Saw what?

- That day... - That day... the day of the murder?

You also said he is the murderer, for sure.

Ah, that... Even though my sense is very heightened, it's not easy to differentiate between the smallest differences.

Smallest differences? Huh?

Anyway. The culprit is living in this house.

I have to see the site to know.

Where is the place he hid?

A corner on the rooftop.

No one came in or out through the door,

but... the laundry was taken in?

That's why the culprit is living in this house, I said.

If there's just a wall in between, then the house next to it is possible, too.

I suppose it's possible. Let's hang up for now.

I asked around and found that you put your room on the market.

Yeah. I am going into the military next month.

Do you like looking into other people's houses?

Yeah? Ah... that isn't a house though.

The laundry rack is the first thing I see when I open my door whether I like to see it or not.

Why is everyone looking at me weird?

Who looked at you weird?

Why does that punk keep looking at you?

Are you crazy?

Ah, geez.

Yeah? Me?

Nonsense. It happened when I tried to help her hang the laundry up.

Let me help you.

Ah, no thanks. I'll do it.

- Let me do it. - No! I am fine.

- Leave it. I will-- - Ayi! Uh!

Did you know Joo Yeon from before?

It's been about four months since I started to work after I got discharged from the military. I met her while working in the market.

By chance, have you heard any story of a suspicious man around her?

The landlord husband...

Landlord? The person who called in the report?

I heard he tried to break the door open on the second floor.

Break the door open?

Who told you that? Did that person say I stole?

No, it's been said that you broke the door open.

This is nuts. Why would I break her door open?

She asked to have her door lock fixed, so I was looking at it. But the Miss had misunderstood me, so I never went back up again.

Then how did you come to report?

I went up there because my wife woke me up. I wouldn't have gone there if I was sober.

Ah, this wife is never a help...

Rooftop room.

The landlord... The man on the third floor...

Aren't they all a bit weird?

I am getting a gut feeling about someone.

That gut feeling again?

The five senses are the sixth sense. All the information gathered by eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and skin

are processed by your brain instantaneously.

You can't get that sense if you are chatty like you.

So who is it? Who is that person you have that gut feeling for?

Forget it.

Lady, I peeled all the garlic.

Hey, over here.

Would you taste this beef boiled in soy sauce?

What are you doing? Move it. I am hungry. Is there anything to eat around here?

Do you have anything to eat?

I have Seol Ok's ambitious dish.

What is this?

It's sauteed eggplants. Isn't it creative?

You do all kinds. You better move it.

You said you had a feeling, so who do you think the culprit is?

You are asking me a question for a change.

The punk who folded this laundry.

Why do I bother to ask?

Just peel the garlic right. What is this?

Take a look at the onion you sliced. Who slices onions like that?

This is how you are supposed to slice onions.

It's different, the way the laundry is folded.

Can you tell by looking?

This is the way the clothing stores fold, and this is completely different.

Really?

I know because I ran a clothing store. You know that.

She has done so many different types of work.

Was it the dry cleaners who fold clothes like that...?

Ah, right. It's the military way. Look at the angles.

Military?

Never been there.

Yeah, Officer Park.

You are right. This is the same product used in the crime.

I knew it. I thought so when I saw his pupils moving.

Right. Didn't you get anything from the laundry? That's what bothers me.

I did get something unusual.

Tropical, palmetto, tikal, gingham, polar fleece, polyester, and gabardine; those types of fabrics.

What is this?

No way you are coming out in the middle of the night, are you?

Lady, I can't be responsible if you get divorced.

Then would you be telling me you are going to catch the culprit in the middle of the night?

It's a teaser.

Lady. Forget it.

Why are you working so hard on this? Perhaps you have an ulterior motive toward me?

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for a married woman to come running after getting a phone call from a man, does it?

A man? Where? Who?

And I am not a married woman, but a civilian profiler.

Anyway, I have no intention of accepting your feelings so understand that.

Thank you. I am feeling so much better.

Don't expect that I'd accept it someday or anything of that sort.

You probably know by now. I am a bad guy.

I knew it already. It shows.

Ah, move over. Uhh!

Ah, seriously...

What are you doing? Over there! There!

Uh?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Mysterious Team @ Viki

What are you doing here?

It's so fascinating. Are all these clothes?

- Yes. We purchase clothes here and send them down to other provinces. - Ahh.

Since it's traveling a long way, you put tape on to prevent them from busting open.

Eh, look at your clothes getting all dusty from working.

What are you doing?

You are working hard for a living.

Your landlord was complimenting you for being a sincere young man.

I don't see it. I don't see any bag wrapped in duct tape.

Of course. Tape like this only costs ₩1,000 but duct tape costs ₩5,500 each.

It's expensive, but it's tough, and it's also waterproof. It's useful in multiple ways.

Right. I heard it's even used to repair the space shuttle.

People even make clothes out of it, I hear.

It's used to repair an air conditioner as well.

And used in killing a person, too.

What are you talking about?

Polar fleece.

It's the type of fabric lifted from Joo Yeon's laundry.

If multiple types of fabrics were found that are completely different from the laundered clothes, it must mean they made contact somewhere.

Probably with the person who folded the laundry.

It's from the children's clothing that you usually handle.

It's probably the same type that is here.

Indeed, it takes more than six months to get rid of military habits.

Are you okay, Lady?!

Over there. He's running away!

Hey! Stop! Catch him!

Hey! Punk!

Does he still have some military left in him? He is so darn fast.

Hurry and catch him. Why are you so slow being a detective?

This is considered fast. Ahh!

What is this punk doing not answering the phone?

[The call cannot be answered--]

Come here, punk!

Uh, this is the right punk! Hey, cuff him.

Why isn't he answering the phone?

Where is he?

Why did you kill her?

You must have a reason for killing a young and nice woman.

Why did you kill her?

Joon Yeon told me a few times.

She said she only saw a movie with him because he said he had free tickets, but he kept acting like he was her boyfriend.

Why do you keep hanging them outside?

I'll take care of these, so don't worry about it.

Why does that punk keep looking at you?

I told you not to wear something that short.

Who is looking?

I heard you are going out on a blind date.

Why does that matter to you?

You are going on a blind date leaving me?

Are you crazy?

I was going to have her before another punk gets her.

Because I can't lose her.

Only if she hadn't reacted like that...

Because that punk on the rooftop was always looking at Joo Yeon,

I thought he'd be suspicious if the laundry was still hanging.

So you did it to earn time to prepare the body.

Why did you wrap the tape?

There's probably no one who doesn't know about that case in Seodong-moon Market.

The Tape murder case.

The case happened seven years ago already.

Not at all. People talk about it like it happened yesterday.

I heard many times from the purchasing guys talking about it.

He probably knew about it as well.

You thought it'd look like a serial murder if you made it look similar, didn't you?

If it wasn't for the laundry...

Laundry, my butt.

Culprits do leave traces for sure.

You probably thought you erased your fingerprints for sure.

But you ripped the tape by hand.

Of course, you wore gloves though.

But the thing about gloves is that they are similar to fingerprints.

They are bound to be caught at the end. It's just a matter of time.

So why did you kill her?

He's someone I ran into almost every day.

Hearing that he killed Joon Yeon,

I am so scared.

It's all over now. The culprit is caught.

I think I am going insane.

I can't sleep. I can't eat.

I am scared of people who I used to see casually.

"Will that person hurt me?"

Strangers are even scarier.

That bastard... That bastard asked to go see a movie with me one time.

If I had, then I would, too... I think I am going insane.

Yoo Jeong. Get your courage up.

Now, things like that won't happen again.

I... promise, hmm?

Could I have the policemen protect me?

I'll check it out for you.

Trust my words. Now, things like that won't happen.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Mysterious Team @ Viki

I am really grateful that you are helping me this morning.

What do you mean grateful? We are only interfering with your business.

Not at all.

I want to go with you guys to catch the culprit. It's just that I can't leave the store unattended.

I am grateful that you caught the culprit.

We only cuffed him though.

Actually, Teacher Yoo caught him with Detective Ha.

Although once Seol Ok gets obsessed, she won't miss one punk.

It's very interesting how they always fight when they are together and solve the case as they hang out together.

But... was Detective Ha's personality like that originally?

Normally Seol Ok's personality isn't that aggressive.

But Detective Ha is... very quiet normally.

He isn't the type to mistreat a woman or anything like that.

No way...

- It's not, right? - It's not, right?

- No way. - No way.

Team Leader! Why does Detective Ha hate Teacher Yoo so much?

I think it's a bit harsh, too. He always calls her "Lady" and says this and that.

In my eyes, she still looks like a miss. Just where does he think she looks like an old woman?

Bachelor, does everyone hate just because they fight?

Then I wonder why elementary school boys torment the girls so much?

I never did. I only helped.

Isn't our Hong cute?

I live because of him these days. He's a bundle of fortune, fortune.

Seeing that pure and innocent young man,

I am hopeful living for tomorrow.

Truthfully, Seol Ok is just like that.

She knows nothing, nothing. She's like a blank piece of paper.

He's pure. So pure.

So cute.

Lady, aren't you going home?

Aren't you worried about your mother-in-law?

I told her I had to work all night to fill a company picnic order.

It seems like your mother-in-law is not calling you as much.

Just what is going on?

Kyung Mi seems to have her persuaded well.

We are friends, but still, I am the owner.

She says she has to go home to make dinner.

She blatantly comes to work late because she had to go to the market to buy eggs.

I'll have a talk with her at home, hmm?

Persuade?

Aigoo, goo, goo!

Ah, please let me pass you.

Hello.

You guys stayed together all night?

Umm.

They might misunderstand if you say it like that.

We didn't stay together the whole time.

I was in the interrogation room and she was in the rest area.

We were together sporadically.

Eh? Eh?

You are exhausted, aren't you, Teacher?

- Hey, I am tired, too. - Yeah.

The police will do dangerous work like that in the future.

I have this... instead.

Ahh. What kind of a situation is this?

Totally unexpected.

What is this?

- Did you buy her that? - Yeah.

Who the heck are you to buy that sort of thing for a married woman?!

What kind of over-reaction is that?

It's jealousy.

- What about mine? - Don't have one.

I am in more danger. What does she do other than chat?

I save her all the time habitually and I only get hurt.

Forget it. Forget it.

What would I expect from you? What could you have done wrong? It's all my fault.

I am a very lacking lieutenant to you, Hong.

No... that... It's not like that...

There you go blowing on it. She's enjoying it.

Stop blowing on it. You are calling the snakes.

Yeah, she is blowing on it.

- We were worried about nothing. - I know, right?

She keeps blowing.

You are weaker than you look.

Just because you've worked all night...

Can't get yourself together...

I like him the best when he's sleeping. Don't wake him up.

You and I can write the report.

Yes, Team Leader.

A bug might get into his mouth.

What are you doing, Lady?

What is this? Press conference? [Special Investigation Team Press Conference: 3rd Floor]

What is this?

- Not sure. - Detective Ha!

Uh, Reporter Woo.

I heard you're even dancing because of the PR.

I meant to go visit you, but...

But I can't seem to find the time because of the serial murder case.

Serial murder?

Where? Here?

So you did get pushed out, Detective Ha. Can't you see the reporters swarming in here?

The Tape serial killer showed up after seven years in Baebang-dong.

Did you say the Tape serial killer?

In Baebang-dong?

We caught the Baebang-dong culprit.

Yeah?

We need to tell him quickly before he does the press conference.

Wait! What? What's wrong?

I didn't get pushed out. I only danced for a short time.

Inspector Woo.

You must like the 3rd-floor restroom a lot.

You can't do the press conference.

The Baebang-dong killer got caught last night.

Yeah, so?

It wasn't the serial killer's doing.

He accidentally committed a crime and made it look like the Tape serial murder.

Gang Min Cheol, 26 years of age.

Occupation: Purchasing agent at Seodong-moon Market, aka Purchasing Uncle.

You knew?

Then why the press conference?

Must I report every detail to you, Ms. Yoo Seol Ok?

Hold on.

But still, he's not the serial killer though.

If he does a press conference like that...

The police never gave up and kept on tracking him, but unfortunately--

Excuse me.

Inspector Woo, is this really a serial murder case?

We have another victim of the serial murder case.

On the mountain trail area of Seodong-moon market, the unsolved Tape serial murder case from 7-years ago

has begun again.

Inspector Woo, can you tell us your conclusion on this case?

Is it really the Tape murder case?

Hold on. I can't tell you about the case in detail yet. I am sorry.

Let's hurry. I need to see the crime scene before Inspector Woo stops me.

You have to tell me what this is about...!

Ah, this woman is fast. Lady, you need to fix that fast moving first!

With this, I'll end the briefing about the Tape serial murder.

Make sure no one gets near the crime scene whether it's a cop or whoever.

The unsolved Tape serial murder case from 7-years ago has begun again.

He said, "has begun again."

What?

The Tape serial murder case had been dismantled because the culprit hadn't been caught for a long time.

It's written in Inspector Woo's book.

Inspector Woo used the Baebang-dong murder case

for making the Special Investigation Team.

That's why he won't let us see the autopsy report.

He was afraid of us finding out that it was not a serial murder case.

He probably knew that the Baebang-dong killer would be caught soon, too.

He even knew who the culprit was.

What would he know? He's a fake profiler...

Because he's not alone on the special team.

He gathered the best experts in Korea.

True.

Inspector Woo predicted...

that the Tape murder case would rise again.

Hey! Go to the restroom.

Ah, this is killing me.

Are you able to sleep?

Hey, don't do that and go to sleep in the night duty room.

I said go in and sleep.

This punk ignoring Sunbae's words...

Hey. Lee Jin Yeong! Hey!

Jin Yeong!

Hey! What's wrong with him?

Hey! Is anyone there?!

Hey! Are you okay? Jin Yeong! Hey!

I didn't let anyone in other than forensics.

Right. I knew you couldn't stop.

I'll stop you. Let's end it this time.

It really does look similiar. The tape and the way it's laid.

They tape is wrinkled. Death by suffocation.

It means the tape was wrapped while the victim was alive.

Then it'd take a long time for the victim to die. So why would he?

He's enjoying that life itself as he watches the victim die slowly.

He's a total wacko.

I warned you not to interfere with the Special Investigation Team's investigation.

We are not interfering.

But... I must catch the tape serial killer.

No. I will definitely catch him.

Absolutely.

Inspector Woo.

- Hello. - Ah, yeah.

- Did you just arrive? - Ah, yes.

- Have you eaten? - Yes, thanks.

That bastard is back, isn't he?

Let's catch him together. I must catch him.

The Special Investigation Team will suffice.

Jin Yeong...

[Songchi Department Case file]

Woo Song Hak,

where are you going?

I am going to the US.

Aren't you going to see Jin Yeong before you leave?

When I come back from the US... I'll catch that bastard for sure.

Then... Then I'll say... goodbye to Jin Yeong.

Jin Yeong was someone I'd known from the precinct days.

Inspector Woo. Hey, Woo Song Hak!

Team Leader!

No one can go in other than the Special Investigation Team.

Hey! Is the Special Investigation Team the only police?

- We are catching this bastard. - Yeah.

Why state the obvious...?

The bastard is getting more and more dangerous.

We must catch the bastard as soon as possible.

They keep asking for a CCTV to be changed out in 5-dong, too.

Why don't you go there and try to fix it?

Yeah.

If it's not for resentment or money, then what will we investigate with? We don't even have fingerprints or footprints.

That's why Inspector Woo was obsessed in making the Special Investigation Team,

because we can't catch him with the normal ways of investigating.

This is frustrating.

We have to predict the culprit's moves.

Understanding what his signature means is the start.

Signature? Are you talking about the tape on the face? [Signature: The psychological desire of the criminal or the way the impulse is manifested]

The way it's laid, too.

But... do you know what the signature is?

Seriously, I got four weeks of training in the Police Investigation Training Center in profiling.

I even know the seven levels of murder: Fantasy, exploration, courtship, kidnapping, murder...

Enough with your bragging. Just drive.

You don't know the seven levels of murder, do you?

Are you still at six people? We don't have much time left now.

That bastard is in the market for sure.

[Black duct tape] [Tape cut edge] [Non-Obstructive Asphyxia]

That tape and the way the body is laid.

It probably means something or is mimicking something.

The more I look at it, the more I feel like I've seen this somewhere.

From where?

No, it just feels familiar. There's something similar for sure.

I can't remember though.

Ah, just move over.

Mannequin! It's the mannequin! That faceless mannequin!

Uh, right. The mannequin.

It seems like that, too.

I am searching all the private security and temporary policing companies.

Four subjects fit the profile, no, now three subjects.

If an Olympic swimmer hasn't been swimming for seven years,

what does he need to do to compete in the Olympics again?

Practice?

The culprit didn't commit murder for seven years.

In order to commit murder again...

Practice.

We need to find his practice cases.

Inspector Woo probably found them by using that sort of method,

and came to the conclusion that the bastard will soon be active.

Did you find him?

Send all the available manpower there and also request backup from the nearby police stations.

I am en route to there now.

There's one more signature that is invisible.

The liquid used to clean the bodies with. The transparent thing the photos can't capture.

- Water? - I think it's alcohol.

Inspector Woo wrote about it in his book.

Before the tape murders began, many cases of splashing alcohol

on women passing by happened in the Seodong-moon Market area.

Eh? Why would he splash alcohol on women passing by?

It's like a type of warm up.

The thing that begins before the serial murder starts.

Like a prelude?

That's probably how Inspector Woo came to predict when and where the culprit will show up by investigating that way.

You keep saying Inspector Woo; Inspector Woo in every sentence.

A bastard who is addicted to killing... Aren't we the experts catching the bastards addicted to killing, Team Leader?

Of course. We can't kick the habit until we catch the bastards.

- I know a team leader in that area, so let me see if I can get any related cases. - Really?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Mysterious Team @ Viki

Thank you.

Here.

Even someone from Police Headquarters came to ask about that not too long ago.

I don't know about the water, but we had many complaints requesting to catch the bastard who splashed alcohol and ran, for a while.

Really?

It smelled of alcohol, but it was horrifying.

Please continue.

I thought it was a person at first, but it was a doll. A doll as big as a human.

A mannequin?

Um, that.

I saw an arm fall off as the police took it.

I heard it was barely held on with a thing like tape.

But why keep asking about those sorts of things?

Did someone else ask you about that, too?

You know the person who's on the TV, the 'Wanted: 24 Hours.'

He didn't bury the body... even though it could be found.

He only covered up its surface using leaves and twigs.

This is a visible spot for car passengers from the road, so would he put the body in a visible place?

For reminiscing about the moments of his killing.

He's a total freaking lunatic.

Park Yeong Soo! Where is Park Yeong Soo?

He's out on a job.

Where did he go?

He went to 5-dong because of a CCTV video.

Team 4 stay here, and the rest go to the market.

Which one is Park Yeong Soo's desk?

Ah, over there...

Where can we find the bastard?

You ask questions often these days.

You do detective work with your feet, I told you.

They look a lot like cops over there.

You think so?

Can't you tell by first glance?

Ah, punks. Don't they know how to stake out properly?

That's why the suspects run off. They need to learn a thing from me.

Team Leader Bae.

I think I found a suspect. I got a call from a team leader from the local station.

Uh.

Is that right? Yeah.

I think we need to go toward Seodong-moon Market 5-dong. Inspector Woo requested a backup.

So Inspector Woo found the culprit.

That we'll know when we get there.

Would he have requested a backup if he's not sure,

risking the possibility for the culprit to disappear forever?

Let's go there for now.

He fixed it and left a little while ago.

Why did you guys come here?

I came to do some public relations in Seodong. You know I am in PR, right?

How did you know Park Yeong Soo was here?

Is Park Yeong Soo the culprit?

Ah, but you lost him, didn't you?

I told you I won't leave you alone if you interfere, didn't I?

We are just trying to catch the culprit on our own.

You are not even a cop, so why?!

Then are you a cop?! You wear makeup and try to gain popularity among married women

and gather all kinds of experts trying to make yourself look important. Isn't that an entertainer?

Thanks to that, I was able to make the Special Investigation Team.

The first in the history of the Police Department, and the strongest team of experts.

You do detective work with your feet, with your passion!

Lieutenant Ha, do you really think that?

Do you really think a few people in the violent crime team can catch that crazy bastard and without a budget?

Most policemen die due to the exhaustion.

Makeup? Entertainer? What's wrong with that?

If it means I can catch that bastard, I'll do anything.

Don't appear in my sight anymore.

He didn't go very far yet. Check all the possible routes.

- Is his name Park Yeong Soo? - Yes. He worked in the security field.

That's why he didn't get captured on the CCTVs.

The culprit... will start the hunt today.

But why is it today?

Because Inspector Woo is on the move.

Ah ha! You want to piggyback on Inspector Woo, right?

Ah, this is bruising my pride...

We can't catch up to his profiling ability, but we can catch up to the result.

Then, are we profiling Inspector Woo instead of the culprit?

You can say that.

Excuse me. The person who's maintaining the security system

comes here often, right?

Pull your stomach in, punk.

The atmosphere is weird here these days, do you know anything about that?

- Not really. - What do you know?

I am sorry to bother you when you are busy, but I have a question.

Have you seen or heard anything weird?

Why do you ask?

Come back after looking around.

Why don't you go to the hospital? I can take care of this place alone.

Ah, I am sorry to keep being this way.

If you are sorry, then recover quickly.

Hello. Unni... can you come over now?

I am ill, so I need to go home

but I am scared.

Okay, I'll ask the nearby precinct.

He came quicker than I thought.

Did you get a call from Seol Ok?

The precinct said they will take her home safely. If you are that worried, shall we stop by first? It's close by from here anyway.

Yes. At least, I want to see her getting home okay.

Yeah.

Follow that car.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It's Unni. She must be calling to see if I got in the car okay.

Don't answer it.

Eh?

I said don't answer it.

Uh, okay. Thanks. Hey, there's an order for the backup team to withdraw.

- Why are they pulling the cars out? - I wouldn't know that.

- What is this? - Ah, geez...

Listen well. The culprit is now acting like a cop.

Pull all the patrol cars to the outskirts and arrest everybody from the unidentified patrol cars.

[The call cannot be answered--]

That car is a fake. There's no indication of police on the lights on top and the eagle mark is on below the yellow line.

Then, the odds are high for him to be the culprit.

No. That bastard is the culprit.

That is the bastard's car. Where is it headed now? 3 o'clock direction? Then, 9-dong?
