-= Episode 18 =-

Am I overdoing it?

Ah! I should've at least picked a different colored lunch box.

-= The number you have dialed is not in service. =-

What's this? I came for his sake.

-= City Hunter =- What's this? I came for his sake.

-= City Hunter =-

Hectic city life and exhaustion have driven you closer to temptation.

Primary task, phase one.

Late at night..... A female high school student walking home from school.

You are holding a weapon in your hand...a hammer.

Before being discovered...

Finish her off.

Mission Clear.

Primary task, phase two.

The company that failed to recruit you.

She's the one who eliminated you from the job interview.

Primary task, phase three.

A young woman with a good family background,

but lacking manners.

Primary task, final phase.

Those who bullied you during your school years.

Hysterical female teacher.

Dr. Go Da Kyung? What's the matter?

I was hoping you would look at a case.

But it's inconvenient over the telephone,

so I sent you some information in an email.

Okay.

How much is it?

4,000 won.

Excuse me...are you a teacher?

Well... something like that.

Thank you!

Bye.

The fried chicken has arrived.

OK, OK.

What about Lee Ho Jin?

Still there.

You know Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin from Seoul East...

Does she live in this neighborhood?

No, she doesn't.

Well, she just came out of the store.

The convenience store?

Jung Woo Jin.

It's me.

What were you doing? Your phone was switched off.

I hadn't noticed the battery was empty.

It's like that when you're at a stakeout.

I'm using senior's cellphone to make this call.

But, are you somewhere close?

No, I'm not.

How long is he going to stay in the storeroom?

What?

This is odd.

I'll be right back.

But... Did you come to see me?

I said no.

Come on, you did come to see me, didn't you?

No way. I'm at home.

You just came out of the convenience store.

How did you know?

My stakeout is opposite the store.

If you haven't walked too far,

come back and let me see you.

But you're working. Okay, I'll just stop by.

Hello? Hello!

He's gone! Lee Ho Jin disappeared!

Hello! Hello!

Jung Woo Jin!

Hello! Hello!

Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin,

left the store a moment ago, right?

Yes. Why?

- = the number you've dialed is inactive =-

The most important point of each task is...

to be sure that your victim is dead.

Absolutely! Make sure that the target is death.

the next stage will not be unlocked.

Your victim must be dead.

Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin!

Jung Woo Jin!

A hammer... He hit me with a hammer...

Are you okay? You are gonna be okay right?

What are you doing? Chase after him!

Go after him. Please...catch the criminal.

No! No! You can't~!

119! 119!

This is near Pong Dong.

- Wake up! - Situation is critical..

- Wake up! - Send an ambulance immediately!

Hands up.

The money... Just take it.

I'm a police officer, you son of a bitch!

Oh...

You like her? That woman?

Go ahead, shoot.

What?

You're angry, right?

So, shoot me.

Lee Ho Jin, I'm arresting you as a suspect.

You have the right to speak to an attorney.

You have the right to remain silent.

What happened?

It's because she came to see me...

How is she?

Luckily, because the blow was inaccurate ...

It wasn't fatal.

A blood clot was removed during surgery ...

but there is still pressure on the brain, and she might have a stroke.

The most important factor is that the patient regains consciousness.

What about Lee Ho Jin?

He was arrested as the suspect...

We are now collecting evidence.

It's all according to the game script.

This is the game script Lee Ho Jin wrote.

This is not killing without a reason.

Dr. Min thought so, too. That the killings were not impulsive.

The killings were likely planned.

But Jung Woo Jin is not a schoolteacher.

She looks like one, though.

He may have mistaken her for a teacher.

He had been working on this for 5 years, right?

My sister was the first victim.

How... How could this person...

How can a human could do ... Something like this...

Lee Ho Jin has been arrested.

He'll be punished by the law.

Where's the weapon?

What?

The hammer you used to kill the victims.

Why are you being like this?

I really don't know anything.

You must know what is it right?

This is the game script that you wrote.

All the cases that occurred up until now, tally with the script.

You want to quibble about that?

This is the game script written by Lee Ho Jin?

Right. The script very precisely describes the method of the attacks..

The target descriptions tally with the victims.

Including the attack on Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin.

I was a classmate of Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin.

You must thoroughly investigate this.

We must have him pay the price for his crimes.

How is Prosecutor Jung? Is she still unconscious?

Yes.

The time limit for detention is 48 hours.

I hope you can protect the crime scene until that time, please.

Go ahead and confess everything!

Lee Ho Jin!

Read. Go on and read it.

Stage two. After stage one is completed ...

the murder plan is upgraded.

Compared to stage one, the opposing party here is more formidable.

The thrill of murder is enhanced with a sense of fear.

Stage two, second step.

The enemy of every student at school, the school caretaker.

Battle power: 50.

After everybody goes home from school ...

He, patrolling in the dark, is your target.

What's the matter? Did they say anything?

Stage two. After stage one is completed ...

The murder plan is upgraded.

Compared to stage one, the opposing party here is more formidable.

The thrill of murder is enhanced with a sense of fear.

Why couldn't you be more careful?

Hello!

Yes? Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon?

It's exactly the same as the game scenario.

After school hours, a school caretaker was killed with a blunt object.

That's impossible! Lee Ho Jin spent last night in jail.

There must be an accomplice.

What do you mean?

An accomplice must have the script, too.

You need to get Lee Ho Jin to open up quickly.

Hyung, what do you mean?

A murder from the game scenario has occurred again?

Impossible!

Lee Ho Jin was sitting in a jail cell last night!

So, we must ask the guy how this nonsense could have happened!

Say it.

What?

Who's your partner? Say it!

Detective Choi ... Stop it.

Detective Choi!

That's enough.

That guy definitely knows something!

Detective Choi! Get out of here.

I don't know what you are talking about ...

but if you want to know anything...

have that woman come here.

What did you say?

Get out!

I don't want to talk to you. It's not interesting at all.

Listen, you bastard!

You know that I have the right to remain silent.

If you want me to talk, have that woman come here.

That female medical examiner.

That's a total son-of-a-bitch.

There's no need to do what he wants.

We don't have the evidence to prove that he's the murderer.

We don't have the weapon and we don't have a witness.

Is Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin still unconscious?

She's the only surviving witness.

-If only she could regain consciousness... -Stop harping on it!

It's a fact. If we don't have Jung Woo Jin's testimony,

Our only hope of arresting him is the game script.

If that's not enough, we must release him.

And we have no idea who the accomplice is.

If you try any tricks, you're dead.

I heard that you wanted to see me.

I only said that I thought we should meet.

Now, in this room, there's only the two of us.

Go ahead, talk.

I'm not worried.

You don't have anything to ask me?

It's okay if you haven't.

Now talk.

Someone out there is acting out your game scenario. Who is it?

Answer my question first.

If you do, I'll answer your question.

What is it in your life that you regret the most?

What are you getting at?

What did you think back then?

When your sister was found, bleeding and unconscious?

What did you feel?

I heard that you might have been able to help your sister.

If you had gone outside to meet her...

Now, your sister's life is very simple and dull.

If... Really, if...

If you lived your life over again...

The moment you'd most want to relive...

is that night, right?

- How about you? - What?

Your first love in high school publicly rejected you.

You studied all you could to be admitted to a university but, didn't make it.

You tried to date university students but, they dumped you.

You went to a job interview where a female interviewer flunked you.

It's all your story, right?

So, you wanted to retaliate.

So, you wrote your revenge into a game scenario.

You want to start over, don't you?

You wanted to be...

the number one model student of the entire school?

I'll kill you.

But you can't go back to the past.

Therefore,

every moment, one must do one's best. That is life.

Even if you say nothing ...

you will definitely be arrested.

So, you ...

and your friend who are killing people out there ...

will certainly pay the price for your crimes.

Wait and see.

The game script clearly corresponds to Lee Ho Jin's own life.

What he said to me,

makes it very obvious.

When your sister was found, bleeding and unconscious?

What did you feel?

I heard that you might have been able to help your sister.

I talked to Dr. Min of NFS about this case.

he will have a more detailed conclusion.

I understand.

Detective Choi and Officer Woo, you should interrogate the game company's staff.

Only those 7 employees...

know the contents of the script.

One of them can well be the accomplice.

What do we do if the media gets a hold of this?

There are already 5 victims.

If this gets out,

the accomplice will try to go into hiding.

No need to worry. I'll take care of the media.

The priority now is to arrest the accomplice.

How is Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin?

She'll definitely be okay.

She's a strong person.

Perhaps, that day, Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin...

What?

No, never mind.

You'll regret it.

The game isn't over yet!

Phase Two. Task 2.

Imagine anger and feel murderous intentions.

Life is made too difficult to breathe.

Remember the army senior who bullied you incessantly?

There's a bar near the university...

where a serviceman is drinking with his friend.

When the serviceman returns to his unit, someone will definitely suffer.

Before that happens, you will take away his life.

It's Yoon Ji Hoon.

In the condition report room in Seoul...

has there been a case with a dead military person?

No, no such case.

I see.

Please, let me know if you get a case like that.

- Bottoms up! - One shot!

This is really good.

Yes, Detective Choi?

This time, too, it's according to the script.

That's right.

But the next section is a problem.

On your birthday, you should receive blessings.

But nobody ever remembers the day.

Take revenge on those happy people.

Go to lover's lane, full of couples. Kill ten people.

Mission completed.

This is very urgent.

We must stop this killer before there are more victims.

Who is this we see at NFS?

I want to ask a favor.

Favor?

Six people have already died.

A female high-school student, an office worker, a university student...

One after the other, the deaths occurring in the manner described in this script.

Last night, there was a corporal on leave.

He was attacked in the street and hit with a blunt object,

probably a hammer, and died.

All according to this script.

What comes next is even more horrendous.

The script calls for killing 10 people in a "lover's lane."

So what is it you want with me?

The two most recent deaths, the director of student affairs and a military man.

please, have the bodies transferred to NFS.

and give their autopsies priority.

At NFS, we decide the order of autopsies.

This is urgent. The autopsies may reveal a clue.

The autopsy schedule for today is full.

This concerns the lives of innocent people.

You're not working here any more!

I know your impression of me isn't good.

And, my impression of you isn't good.

I should say, it's very bad.

But this is about innocent lives.

You think I will do it?

If there still remains within you...

Even a small bit of a medical examiner's creed, then yes.

Very well, I'll permit it.

Director.

Discovering the cause of death of the deceased,

will promote national safety, which is the duty of the National Forensic Service.

Moreover, we at NFS, have an obligation to these people.

Discovering clues to a criminal's identity in an autopsy is very difficult.

You know that, don't you?

I do.

The question is, whether the perpetrator and the weapon were the same in both cases.

We shall carry out the autopsies simultaneously to reduce error.

You did the on-site inspections, didn't you?

You'll be responsible for one autopsy,

and I'll do the other.

As Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon said... Have the two corpses transferred to NFS.

Yes, sir.

Because as a forensic examiner, you still have that faith and conscience?

Or is there another reason?

Must there be a reason for a forensic examiner to perform an autopsy?

Deceased, Jeong Do Hoon.

Age, 53. Height, 182cm. Weight, 82kg.

There are three bone fractures on the left side of the head and bruises on shoulders and limbs.

As the the examination result on the bone fracture shown earlier.

The blunt object is a hammer with an octagonal head.

Deceased, Kim Jeong Ho.

Age, 22. Height, 186cm. Weight, 69kg.

This also has been verified by the Imaging Department's analysis.

The blunt object is a hammer with an octagonal head, same as with Jeong Do Hoon.

Starting autopsy.

Do you know Lee Ho Jin?

No. We haven't spoken much.

He has an introverted personality.

Where were you last night from 10:00 pm to 3:00 am?

Drinking with a friend.

I was working overtime. The manager was there, too.

How did your staff behave?

Was there anyone behaving differently?

Don't we look pretty ordinary?

We like our friends, we also like playing games.

We were busy working. We didn't have time to care about others.

What kind of a person is Lee Ho Jin?

I don't know...

He is a little strange. And his social skills are very poor.

Lee Ho Jin. What kind of a person is he?

We haven't talked much. I don't really know.

Come in.

How do you do.

Have you analyzed the recording?

Yes.

What is your opinion?

It's not likely Lee Ho Jin is acting or lying.

Judging by what he says,

it's just as you suggested.

The game script written by Lee Ho Jin,

is based on the experiences of his own life.

The most important influence on him must have been,

the persecution he seems to have suffered in high school.

OK, I understand.

Nobody has a record and nobody lives near Lee Ho JIn.

What about the school?

Nobody attended that school.

And even their family members did not attend that school.

So, all the employees look clean?

But Lee Ho Jin might have shown the game script to someone outside the company.

Hello.

Detective Choi? Have you checked the game company's employees?

Yes, but it looks like a dead end.

What about the analysis of the recording?

It appears that Lee Ho Jin's time in high school is very important.

That's Guyun-dong high school, right?

Dr. Go Da Kyung?

Why? Is it a place you know?

That's the high school that both my sister and I attended.

Kim Jeong Ho - cause of death is traumatic internal cerebral hemorrhage of the cerebrum.

Type of death, homicide.

Jeong Do Hoon is the same.

Before Jeong Do Hoon died, he seems to have fiercely fought the killer.

Yes. I inspected the scene and...

the surroundings retained clear signs of the fight.

But the bruises are insufficient to identify the killer.

What about Kim Jeong Ho?

Although Kim Jeong Ho is strongly built,

he was intoxicated at the time of the attack.

Being drunk, he did not have motor control of his body.

He was probably unable to resist his killer.

The killer is clearly right-handed.

Both Kim and Jeong were struck on the left side of the head.

True, but the strange thing is..

Two people, both hit on the left.

Both injured above the temple.

When a person is attacked with a blunt object like a hammer,

generally it happens from above, top to bottom.

That's the normal direction.

But here, we don't have blows from above.

It's more of an attack from the side.

There is less force and accuracy from a side attack,

than from an attack coming from above.

To adopt such a posture for the attack...

is very strange.

If the killer was wielding the hammer when fighting Jeong Do Hoon,

wielding it downward would have been very difficult.

Kim Jeong Ho...

under the influence of alcohol, the footsteps should be staggered.

If Kim Jeong Ho was also injured on the forehead or sides of the head ...

There should be indented bone fractures on one of these two areas.

Could it be the doing of a short person?

Because the assailant was shorter than the victim ...

Therefore the hammer was swung upwards.

Even if the build is shorter ...

The hammer in addition to the arm length...

would exceed two meters.

For height of 170cm against height of 180cm...

It is possible to hammer downwards.

Only based on the bone fracture ...

we are unable to extrapolate the assailant's height.

If the finger was injured ...

the hammer could not be lifted normally.

It wouldn't affect the grip of the hand.

The swing would still produce enough speed.

It's very likely that the hammer had a strong impact on the victim.

Even if the finger was injured,

the impact could be enough to kill.

No matter when a murder is made..

the bodies will eventually reveal a similar killing pattern.

But these two people...

the sides of the head have been damaged.

Shoulder.

Shoulder?

The shoulder was injured.

The hammer was used to kill people.

It is possible that the bone was not fractured or sprained.

Instead, it was traumatic tendon damage.

Traumatic tendon damage?

When the arm is jerked to a certain angle,

because of the pain caused by the tendon damage, one is unable to raise the arm any higher.

If a tendon is damaged...

between the shoulder and arm ...

even if one is able to pick up the hammer ...

it would be impossible...

to lift it high up.

Without a cast ...

one can take anti-inflammatory drugs or receive physiotherapy treatment...

to ease the pain.

Hey...Hey...!

When did you go to the hospital?

You are the only one wounded on the shoulder.

All right.

I know who it is.

One of the game company's employees is suspected.

In the end, it is still you....

who protects these people on their last journey.

Autopsy...

ends now.

Officer Choi, I found out.

What?

It's one of the game company's employees.

Really? Are you sure?

Who is it?

I don't know the name.

The height is about 170 cm.

Weight is about 65 kg.

From that, how can I know who it is?

That's all I can tell you now.

I'll go to the company, too.

We'll see each other there.

I'll go over now.

Okay.

We're so busy, yet he keeps ordering us around.

We must finish by today. Understand?

Yes. Yes.

Fighting!

Everyone work hard.

Excuse me...

Hurts again?

This ailment is so time-consuming.

What is it called again?

Traumatic tendon damage.

-= Guyun-dong High School =-

How about it?

How do I look? Hey! Since we could attend the same high school ...

Are you that happy?

Of course!

Like I said, everyone will compare us since I'm the top student.

What are you actually happy about!

The teachers really adore me.

That would be great.

Then, when I graduate from here...

I'll go to the same university as you.

Aigoo, you are really mischievous.

If you really want to be like me, then you should give up being a woman!

Aigoo, you are really something!

But I really want to be like you.

Stay away from me and stop sticking to me!

Don't want to.

Yes, Teacher?

I've been waiting for your call.

Have you found something regarding...

The matter I asked about?

Certainly.

This is from the top student who the principal most boasts about...

We do not disregard Go Da Kyung.

Thank you!

You want to check on one of our graduates, Lee Ho Jin, right?

Yes.

I've asked the teacher in charge of that student.

He said that the student had a good academic and behavioral record.

A model student.

But, well, one time...

There was a very strange incident.

Really?

He suddenly said to a young female teacher...

"I must kill you."

I heard something like that ...

Later, his parents came to the school ...

The matter was resolved after much coaxing.

And also ...

You also wanted to know who he was friends with?

Yes!

Initially, he was very quiet so he didn't have any friends.

But in his first year of high school...

There was one student who he was friendly with.

Is it Woo Jae Won?

That student's name is Woo Jae Won?

Yes, right. Woo Jae Won.

What kind of person is he?

There's an injury to the right flank of the arm which caused tendon damage.

We can spot it.

What's going on?

Has anyone seen the person who has the pain in his arm?

The person with the pain in his arm ?

Are you refering to Woo Jae Won?

He just got off work.

Where did he go?

What happened?

We would like to ask him something.

Do you know where he went?

What is the date today?

The 27th.

What about it? - = Woo Jae Won's birthday =-

What about it? - = Woo Jae Won's birthday =

What about it? - = Woo Jae Won's birthday =

We must stop him immediately.

We have to order satellite tracking.

Let's go together.

No need. It'll be dangerous.

I can recognize him. It would better if we go together.

Okay. I got it.

We'll ask the local police there for help.

It's near Hwang Shin Lee place.

Mr. Woo Jae Won?

Who are you?

We know your plan. Call it off.

I know who you are.

That detective, right?

If you do not wish to spend the rest of your life in jail ...

Stop this immediately.

Let me tell you.

For me, this world...

Is a hellish jail.

Sorry.

I'm a little busy now. I'm hanging up.

Goodbye!

I found it.

A shopping mall on the east side.

You found it?

In the east.

It's the shopping mall in front of Hwang Shin Lee.

The third stage.

Your birthday.

You should receive blessings on your birthday.

But nobody remembers your birthday.

You should take revenge

on those happy people.

Woo Jae Won is not answering the phone.

Let's split up to search.

Sunbae, you go to that side and look around.

I'll go up to the second floor.

Hello!

Doctor, I know who it is.

We just found out as well.

This place is too big. It's really hard to find him.

Could it be the shopping mall around Hwang Shin Lee?

How do you know that?

During high school ...

That's where they used to hang out.

Lover lane ... Around the fountain ...

What did you say?

In a place full of loving couples ...

Kill ten people.

So the first victim will be you, Doctor?

Drop it. Drop the knife now!

Today around 5:00 pm at Hwang Shin Lee,

A 20-year-old man, armed with a knife,

was subdued by the police.

Witnesses saw the man wielding a knife,

loitering in the shopping mall.

But the police will comment only after a detailed investigation.

The media are being controlled.

Prosecutor Jung, are you awake?

Where am I?

You're in the hospital.

Do you remember how you came here?

Prosecutor Jung ... Prosecutor Jung ...

Jung Woo Jin!

Detective Choi Yi Han...

Where is Detective Choi Yi Han?

Is he all right?

Section Chief!

Go Da Hee, Woo Sang Eun, Lee Sa Ra.

Jung Woo Jin, Jeong Do Hoon, Kim Jeong Ho.

You might not know the names,

But you should recognize the people.

One of them was killed by Lee Ho Jin and you.

Some were killed by only you.

You killed Jeong Do Hoon and Kim Jeong Ho.

So who killed the other women?

Answer me.

If you go on like this,

you might have to bear the criminal charges alone.

Game scenario.

Did Lee Ho Jin write it?

Did you encourage him to kill with you? Answer me!

I did not encourage him.

What?

Ho Jin doesn't know anything...

about the script or the killing.

It's all my doing. Just me alone.

Woo Jae Won!

Prosecutor Jung?

Are you all right?

Come out for a while. We need to talk.

Is it okay to be discharged?

What did Woo Jae Won say?

Lee Ho Jin is not involved. It's all his doing.

But if we continue to investigate,

we are sure to find that Lee Ho Jin is involved.

What Woo Jae Won said is right.

What?

When it happened,

that's what I saw.

There was only Woo Jae Won.

What?

I remember very clearly.

Lee Ho Jin was not there.

This can't be.

Lee Ho Jin is definitely the principal suspect.

We can't detain Lee Ho Jin anymore. It's an order.

But...

Lee Ho Jin's parents hired an attorney.

The attorney applied for a review.

The court just ruled on it.

It decided that Lee Ho Jin must be released.

How can this happen?

Couldn't you just say that you saw Lee Ho Jin, too?

Just pretend that you didn't hear anything.

This is what they call assisting a murderer.

Lee Ho Jin's game scenario is not finished yet.

He still have a final mission to complete.

Every time he killed, he had to find a good hiding spot,

Then find the right opportunity to kill.

If we can't stop this insane game addict, the killing game won't ever end.

We have to catch Lee Ho Jin red-handed to prevent more deaths.

I'll put Lee Ho Jin under 24 hour surveillance.

Also, police officers will go to Woo Jae Won's house.

They'll confiscate all documents in his computer and...

give it to the National Forensic Service.

I think we'll discover some evidence related to Lee Ho Jin there.

You have to pass by the hospital before going back home, right?

I'll take you.

= I'm sorry I couldn't take you home.=

= Just forget about me. I'm more worried about you. =

= Regarding Lee Ho Jin's game scenario =

= The person who is in danger the most is you, Officer Choi. =

Who is it?

Mmm ... my nephew.

You have a nephew?

He's a big child, tall and strong.

Can I come in for a moment?

Is it interesting?

What?

Your job.

I think it's a little terrifying.

Why did you come?

You should know why, shouldn't you?

When are you going to the US?

I heard that you investigated Jung Seok Gun's death in the US.

Yesterday, Seok Gun's mother came to see me.

A medical examiner had looked her up.

And told her that Seok Gun's death was not an accident but, a homicide.

You still want to re-investigate?

Because it's the truth.

Prosecutors, police, NFS.

They all gave up.

But Doctor, you don't know how to give up.

I told you before,

I'm not the kind of person who easily gives up.

You are right.

If you gave up ...

I would be very disappointed.

Let's see, once more...

what you can do.

Because I have confidence.

Hello!

Yes, it's me.

How's your wound?

I'm okay.

But there's a problem ...

Lee Ho Jin was released.

What? What did you say?

Woo Jae Won said that he committed the crimes alone. He tried to cover up for Lee Ho Jin.

We had to release him.

I thought I should tell you that.

Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself.

Each time, kill and then hide.

Then, seize the city.

Yes. It's Go Da Kyung.

It's the research office.

You said to contact you if we find any documents in Woo Jae Won's computer.

That's right.

I got it.

= Dr. Yoon Ji Hoon=

Each time, kill and then hide.

Then, seize the city.
