Seong Mo.

What do we do? I think it's him.

Unit 701, I know you're home!

- Didn't you see her go in? - I did.

I know she's home.

I'm the Women's Society president. We need to talk.

Unit 701, please open up.

- It's open. - What's going on?

I need to talk to your mom about something.

Is she home?

Whatever it is, you can tell me instead.

The security guard has been putting up these flyers.

Have you read them?

No.

Your mom hasn't joined the Woman's Society yet, has she?

There's a meeting at my house, so tell her to head over.

Sure.

All right then. I'll get going. What is this?

- Did he shut the door? - Yes.

They're weird and peculiar, right?

They moved here a month ago,

but I've never seen them say hello to people.

- Tell me about it. - Talk about having no manners.

His mom has a somber vibe just like him.

Found you.

(Seoheun Community Security Center)

As a police officer,

when a suspect insists his innocence,

I'm going to check and double-check the facts...

and make sure...

that no one else suffers like me and my dad.

Even if I don't prove my dad's innocence,

that alone will be worthwhile.

Are you finally thinking about your own life...

regardless of your father?

- Seong Mo. - It's been a while,

Officer Yoon Jae In.

Mr. Daddy Long Legs.

Daddy what?

Talk about a coincidence.

So you were her patron for three years?

Yes, the priest at the orphanage recommended it.

I'm the one who suggested that she move next door to us...

and that she enrolls in your school.

I'm sorry about what happened back then.

I promised to pay you back,

but just left without a warning.

Don't worry about it.

No matter how much you want to avoid it,

I believe that fate will always...

make certain events happen and certain people meet.

- Since when? - Since I watched "Comrades".

That's why...

instead of avoiding who you'll run into anyway,

you should think about how you'll handle it.

- Sorry? - It's...

his complicated way of telling you not to run away again.

Can I have your number?

My aunt has been wanting to have you over for dinner.

Sure. I don't want you to feel like you owe me anything.

Wait, do you know my number?

Write down mine as well.

Anyway, I'm here for An today.

If I don't stop him, he'll stay all night at the stream.

You're right. He was about to do that.

Please call me, all right?

I actually have a favor to ask.

A favor to ask me?

We don't have the time today, so I'll tell you some other time.

What is it?

You promised to return the favor, so you can't say no.

- Sure. - See you then.

What?

What is it? What's the favor?

Are you that curious? Here.

Darn it. I still can't get a read!

Let's not do this here.

An, please. An! Hey!

It seems like they got the wrong idea, right?

Just tell me then!

Seriously?

Did you think about what Seong Mo wants you to do?

I can't figure out what he's thinking with my brain.

No, that excuse is too flimsy.

Where are you going?

- Something huge broke out. - What?

Look at that.

You slammed your car door into my car.

Your car was the only one parked to this side of mine.

How dare you deny it was you?

- You hit me? Hit me again. - Don't.

- Stop it. Let's just talk. - You're blaming the innocent.

- This is so annoying. - You're innocent?

- Are you okay? - How dare you?

Ladies. You assaulted an officer.

We didn't assault anyone.

We're fighting over that. Go and take a look.

- This is huge? - The repair will cost you.

- Stop, stop. - How old are you?

You won't get anywhere fighting like this.

I'll find a witness or evidence.

Calm down and wait.

How will you manage to find who did it?

Anyone can tell you're a newbie.

You shouldn't talk like that to an officer.

Do you talk down to everyone?

How dare you?

Come here.

- I'm here. So what? - Do you know who I am?

So what if I do or don't?

You're just so rude.

- How dare you? - You talk down to everyone.

- Come here. - Stop it.

- You can't... - Let go of me!

It's not from the car door.

It did happen recently,

but it wasn't a car door.

It was something more jagged.

For example,

- a stone? - Yes.

Where did you find that?

Did you see who did it?

Get me a soup and quick.

Don't you have any kimchi?

Take this back.

Why didn't you catch that?

I'm really sorry.

It got on my shoes.

I get that you were angry.

But if you damage someone else's belongings,

it'll only hurt your mom, the person you want to protect.

That woman was really horrid,

so I considered keeping it a secret.

But if I did that,

the memory would stay in your head...

and follow you around, messing with you.

Do you want to keep a bad secret from your mom?

Right?

Dry your tears.

Say you're sorry.

Go on.

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

Teach your kid some manners.

How dare she damage my car?

I'll pay you for the repairs.

Call me.

Don't change your mind later.

What rotten luck.

Lady.

Won't you apologize to me?

You called me a criminal and yelled at me.

Did I tell you to park next to me?

Ma'am.

Don't come here again.

I'll teach my daughter manners...

so she doesn't grow up to be like you.

I hope that...

you don't ever come to my restaurant again.

This is unbelievable.

Jerks like that exist everywhere.

I'd have punched her if it hadn't been for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What's this feeling?

Getting to the truth doesn't mean justice wins.

Justice didn't win,

but you proved yourself.

Not really.

I do things like that sometimes.

I just don't make a fuss.

You solved the case...

and I got thanked instead.

Is something the matter?

You seem to be in a bad mood.

Everyone has a bad day.

It happens.

A bad day?

They exist.

Seong Mo.

That hurt.

You instinctively avoid physical contact.

That's why your ability doesn't improve.

Who says I'm not improving?

Even if you don't like seeing things,

if you want to beat crime, don't avoid touching things.

I'm not avoiding it.

It's just a habit.

Only wanting to touch things involved in a case...

is like trying to get the answers without studying.

Do you get my point?

Okay, I'll practice.

I get it.

I changed the passcode this morning.

That's childish.

I can read that in three seconds.

Just 6 digits? 051203.

If it's too complicated and you change it often,

you can't remember it.

It's a date. December 3, 2005, my...

My birthday.

Do you like it?

Yes. You're the best, Dad.

My dad didn't do it. My dad didn't kill anyone.

- Dad. - Jae In.

Dad...

Dad...

I told you not to...

remember birthdays.

Jae In, what's wrong?

Is it coming back again?

It's today.

Oh, gosh.

I believe it wasn't my father,

but why...

can't I stand this day every year?

Ta-da, here's your doggy.

Woof, woof.

Woof, woof, woof.

But...

it must be much harder for those people...

who lost their families that day.

They might...

resent my dad all their lives.

It isn't your fault.

It isn't, Jae In.

Jae In...

An.

You can have anything you want except for a puppy.

Why do you have that with you?

Mom. Dad.

It's going to be all right.

Dad.

Mom...

(National Forensic Service Seoul Institute)

It's unable to identify the victim's fingerprints?

I mean, why?

You're overacting today.

She has to get married...

- if she can't catch the culprit. - Shut it.

You sounded promising yesterday.

Why is it suddenly impossible?

It seemed all right at first,

but it turned out the fingerprints were badly damaged.

I tried to identify her with what was left,

but nothing came out a match.

Are you serious?

You know it'll become a cold case if we can't identify the body.

Of course, I know. Just give me some time.

The body was down the water for a long time,

so I'm going to try a high temperature-moisturizing method.

If it doesn't work either,

I'll really have to get married.

You don't get married alone.

I would've gotten married thousands of times already if it was the case.

Move.

You're such a hassle.

But I'm serious.

- Do you think this will work? - Move.

(A method to obtain a fingerprint by submerging it...)

(in water of 100°C for 3 seconds)

3 seconds? All right. 1, 2...

You were going to get detected this clear,

so why did you give me a hard time?

All right, ma'am.

What is your name? What is your phone number?

I want to go home.

Please teach me.

I'll kill you if you don't give me my car back today.

And I'll never see you if there's any scratch on it.

13 years ago today,

I barely survived from death.

Today's my parents' death anniversary.

I'll see you after I come back.

Their death anniversary? Goodness.

You mean you won't give it back. Fine, keep it.

Welcome.

I'll go.

How much, ma'am?

Full, please.

- Full? All right. - Yes.

Seong Mo.

Seong Mo?

(Visitors' Parking Lot)

(Seoheun Delivery Service)

(Seoheun Delivery Service)

Go on in.

(Lee Jeong Rok, Yu Jin Hee)

- You're here. - Why did you leave first?

I didn't want to wake you up.

Are you greeting my parents?

I should do the same then.

Have you been well?

(Kang Eun Joo)

You must've seen from above, but Seong Mo's doing good.

He lacks social skills,

but he's great at his work.

He's clumsy at expressing his emotions.

He hardly has any sense of humor.

But he's got a high-paying job and a house too.

So he might be able to get married.

Is that a compliment?

You must be aware that he saved my life.

It's also him who got me back on track...

when I was lost.

So...

I'm going to protect him from now on.

I'm only a jobless test-taker...

who can't even support myself now,

but I'll make sure I return the flavor until my last day.

You mean the favor.

Oh, right.

I tried to memorize it on my way here.

You're making your parents wait for too long.

Me and my parents...

We don't really need words to communicate.

(Lee Jeong Rok, Yu Jin Hee)

I touched my parents' belongings,

but I couldn't get a read.

The memories attached to them must be fading.

Right.

When I finally get to control my abilities,

will I be able to read my parents' memories?

Probably.

I...

will make sure of it.

Korea's first psychometrist?

When that day comes...

Forget it. It's nothing.

Stop coming to the morgue.

- Give it up already. - I'm the one who's frustrated.

It's not like I can study this in a textbook.

It's driving me crazy too.

Maybe you lack drive and tenacity.

Why not say that to those studying for the state exam?

Go on. I dare you.

An.

- It's about Prosecutor Kang. - What about him?

Well,

I think he wants you to help him with something.

Seong Mo...

wants my help?

I'm not sure, but that's what I think.

He's the only person you can't read...

which means that his mind is closed off.

That must made it lonely for him.

I'm sure there's a reason behind it too.

You may not be the only one...

who thought that he was alone.

What are you doing? Aren't you coming?

Wait up.

Wherever you go, I'll follow.

What's with that grand line? I'm only off to see Officer Yoon.

Why are you meeting her?

Are you finally going to ask her that favor?

Didn't you hear me?

In other words,

I'd like you to help An develop his psychometric powers.

You're already aware of his abilities, are you not?

How did you know that?

Who's there?

Yoon Jae In?

What are you doing there?

I live here, that's why.

It's not like I wanted to eavesdrop.

Did you hear everything?

Just how much did you hear?

"I'll come over to you."

I'll come over to you.

That much.

Also, you said you'd let him touch any part of...

Okay, stop.

You seemed desperate.

Hold on. It's all good,

but why do I need her help to develop my powers?

You can decline if you want.

However, I want it to be you that helps him.

Can you give me some time to think?

I need time to think too.

Leave the thinking to me and Officer Yoon.

If you help me with this,

I can return the favor by looking into your transfer...

to the violent crimes unit.

Where have you been?

You look exhausted.

The main office called about the suitcase murder.

What did they say?

We're to take down the police line.

Right.

Gosh, that was a tough one.

Goodness, you're here.

- Jae In, let's have lunch. - Sure.

You're dressed passionately today.

Thank you.

I see that you didn't have a class this morning.

Yes, the senior center took the ladies on a field trip.

How did you know that?

A veteran never loses his touch.

I had a hunch.

It's a three-story lunchbox.

He knew because...

you always cook a lot when you don't have a morning class.

Officer Yoon, I'm impressed.

Gosh, and here I thought I've been slipping some clues.

- You should eat with us. - Should I?

I'll go and wash my hands.

Can you hold onto this for me?

Is this a strand of hair?

It's a part of me.

Seriously?

What's wrong with that guy?

Gosh, he's annoying!

Didn't you say that he has a wife?

They live apart.

His wife is in Canada with their son.

The year he retires coincides with when his son graduates,

so he's been counting the days.

Men always get shabbier if the wife's not around.

Why does he need to count how much lunch I pack for you?

Also, what's with that dirty nose hair of his?

Stop it.

Am I wrong? I only ask him to join us...

because I'm grateful that he let us stay here.

He thinks it's his right to join us for lunch now.

I hope I'm not putting you out or anything.

I'll at least use my own cutlery.

My gosh. It gets better every time.

Jae In, go ahead.

Officer Yoon, did you hear the news?

What news?

A colleague of yours...

arrested a high-profile burglar and a murder suspect...

and will receive a special promotion to senior officer.

Right, I heard that.

Is that even possible?

You're still probationary officers.

That patrol division gets many cases.

Your friend got lucky then.

No, Office Yoon is the one who's lucky.

Joining the violent crimes unit...

means that she'll be in danger at work.

This place is much better.

It's quiet around here and we don't have to come in early or work late.

I've dodged knives at some point, but it's all for nothing.

Why are you poking me?

Please have some bulgogi.

You seem to be lacking energy these days.

Here, have some.

(Do not cross)

What does finding a body matter...

when I don't know how to proceed?

I'd like you to help An develop his psychometric powers.

Why did he ask Yoon Jae In to help me?

With your ability, you can see the knife.

However, you can't see if he stabbed someone...

or if he's holding it to cover up for someone.

You just don't know.

All you see are a few pieces out of thousands,

so don't let it get to your head.

So Yoon Jae In...

will match the pieces I give her.

(Police Agency)

(Probationary Officer Shim Shin Il, Special Promotion to Senior Officer)

Look this way, please!

Are you ready? Look over here.

1, 2.

Look over here, please.

Look to the left.

- Over here. - Now.

One... Over here, sir.

Yoon Jae In.

Congratulations.

- Look at him. - Well done.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

You all should collect some points...

and get promoted.

- Stop it. - Come on.

I feel bad I'm the only one to get a special promotion.

- It's fine. - Stop it.

Congratulations.

I'll take your photo. Look over here.

Smile, everyone. 1, 2, 3.

(Police)

A special promotion?

A special promotion to Violent Crimes?

Hello.

Collect what points?

Should I wish for a case so I can get promoted?

What mindset is that?

I don't know why I'm like this

I just don't know why I'm like this

(Bank)

A pickpocket, 10 points.

(Sneakily)

Organized crime, 20 points.

(Condolence money)

- Well... - How much?

- Why ask? - I don't know.

Hello, officer.

- Another long day? - Take care.

Bye.

Take care.

- How much? - 10 bills.

Isn't that too much?

Arson, 20 points.

Jae Yeon.

Look.

Happy birthday to you

I've lost my mind.

Looking at people and thinking about points.

What kind of an officer are you?

Murder.

50 points.

Robbery and homicide, 70 points.

Did you think about what Seong Mo said?

I'm still thinking.

I'm not.

I want you to help.

Even if I say yes, what should I do?

Well, like you said,

we'd have to do all sorts of things.

We don't know what to do or how,

but there's a clear reason why we must.

A reason?

We didn't meet two years ago. I first met you much long before.

Me?

Hey, your shoelace is untied.

I can't have you tripping up.

Shortly after I became psychometric,

I did a read on you.

I didn't even know what I was doing then.

It wasn't him.

Then can you ask them to let my dad go?

My dad really isn't a bad guy.

For some strange reason,

that memory of you lasted a long time.

Now that I look back,

I guess I thought...

my strange ability could be used to...

help someone.

Back then...

I met you?

You cave me a candy?

You really don't remember?

Not at all.

You may have forgotten, but to me,

you're the first client to ask for my help.

Your first client?

Let's give it a go.

Together.

If I take your hand,

how much of my secrets will you know?

I don't know.

A person's memory is like...

a jumbled up medicine cabinet.

Whether I pick up a poison or an antidote,

I can't tell until I swallow it.

We don't have to make physical contact to improve my ability.

I just haven't decided whether to do it or not.

I'm not avoiding physical touch with you.

Okay. Let's say that's it.

Even if we have a million reasons to do it,

I have no clue how to help you improve.

Or why Prosecutor Kang wants me to help.

If you were me, what would you investigate?

Think about that.

I will do what must be done.

You're leaving again?

Detective Eun's waiting.

Ji Soo?

Did you take on that case?

The body in the suitcase?

You identified the body. You did, didn't you?

Tell me. Tell me what you know.

Come on. You can tell me...

We aren't...

We...

We'll have the identity soon.

That means I have no time to waste with you.

Bye.

Keep the first witness informed, okay?

Mister. Mister.

Come on, tell me something.

Mister.

Wait. I found the body.

I'm going to stay involved.

Where did he go?

(Seoheun Delivery Service)

Hello?

Some guy followed you from our apartment.

I approached, and he ran away.

- What guy? - I don't know.

I'm chasing him right now. I'll call you again.

Don't do anything dangerous. Come back.

An. An!

You're here. The results came out just now.

What's with him? Prosecutor Kang!

(Seoheun Delivery Service)

(Seoheun Delivery Service)

Who are you?

How do you know my brother?

What's going on?

(Emergency Medical Center)

An, stay with me.

An.

That man was following you.

Stop talking. You're losing a lot of blood.

He's been watching you for quite a long time.

Even on the day when we jumped off the apartment,

he was there.

He didn't injure his vital parts, so he should be fine.

The surgery went well too.

Prosecutor Kang?

Dr. Hong must be waiting for us.

Let's go.

That man was following you.

He's been watching you for quite a long time.

Even on the day when we jumped off the apartment, he was there.

You know who did it, don't you?

You and An fell from the apartment...

13 years ago.

He's been watching you ever since that day.

Does he have something to do with the Yeongseong case?

Is he the one you're suspecting?

Kang Seong Mo.

Why do you have so many secrets?

You've agonized alone for the last two years.

I'm here to help.

Do I mean no help to you?

Because I know it'll cause regret.

To whom? Me?

No.

Me.

I'm heading home.

Oh, I dropped that earlier...

You're never to waste food. Wrap things up and head home.

Sure.

(Seoheun Community Security Center)

(Seoheun Community Security Center)

(Seoheun Community Security Center)

Are you waiting for someone?

No...

No?

Is it An?

It's not like that. I mean...

Are you off duty now?

Yes, I got off on the dot like always.

Nothing happened in this area like always too.

I'm jealous.

As a mom, there's no such thing as getting off.

I come home from work to start working at home.

Do you want to come up for a beer?

I'd love to but...

You've earned that much.

I'll use it as an excuse to have fun too.

- Come on. - I really shouldn't.

Come on.

Sir, are you awake now?

Luckily, no major organs were damaged,

so the surgery was quick.

Your guardians said they'll be back soon,

so get some rest.

Sure.

This sure is nice.

- The beer is singing to me. - Right.

- Hey. - Quiet!

Have some. You wanted to have fun.

I'm always on call at the security center, so I can't.

Let her be. We'll have it all ourselves.

This is nice.

I like how this room is filled with warmth.

It's warm and cozy. Now let's drink.

Thank you for the drinks.

Don't mention it.

Bring your kid over if you need a babysitter.

I'll gladly volunteer.

- Sure. - Take her home already.

- I'll get going then. - Sure.

Be careful.

- She's quite drunk. - My goodness.

Good night.

She's already asleep.

Coupons?

(Dae Bong)

You got in a street race in my car?

Are you insane?

I'm the one who got injured.

Your car's in perfect shape.

Whatever. I'm finally ending our friendship.

I'm not kidding. Bring back my car and get lost.

Dae Bong, I'm hungry.

Can you bring me something to eat?

You're hungry?

What do you want? Tteokbokki, dumplings?

- Which hospital is it? - I'd like sundae...

Seriously? He just hung up.

I can't believe I said that.

It really is your gas station.

Long time no see.

- Here. - Right.

There are a lot of things...

that I want answers to.

Please get back here soon,

Seong Mo.

You've identified the victim?

Where's the convenience store?

It's in the second basement level.

Thank you.

What did you just say?

The victim inside the suitcase.

What's her name again?

Don't you remember?

It's Kang Hee Sook.

The caregiver of the care home who disappeared...

after it was sent on fire two years ago?

Yes, the lady wearing the ring whom An read...

with his abilities.

I saw a woman. She was wearing a ring.

But she's not wearing one.

It's not just the ring that is off here.

What do you mean?

The math just doesn't add up.

It makes no sense...

that she was alive two years ago.

This body has been dead...

for at least 4 to 5 years.

It's hard to estimate time of death with bodies found in water.

That's right.

However, we have another body to compare it to.

In my professional opinion, I conclude that...

the time of death, cause of death,

and the time they were disposed are identical.

That's absurd.

The record states that she worked at the care home two years ago.

I checked over and over again because of that reason.

This body died...

before the Hanmin Care Home fire.

You checked her fingerprints,

so there is no doubt that she's Kang Hee Sook.

Then who's the Kang Hee Sook that worked at Hanmin Care Home...

two years ago?

That we must figure out.

(Nurse's Office)

I understand that Seong Mo is busy,

but Dae Bong should be here by now.

- What was that? - Make room.

Who are you? How do you know my brother?

Who on earth was he?

(Lee An)

(Staff only)

(Lee An)

(Fire extinguisher)

What took you so long?

I've been waiting for you.

(He is Psychometric)

I'll look into it again.

Leave.

Was he here?

I might have to die for it to end.

Officer Yoon Jae In's father...

is Yeongseong Apartment arsonist Yoon Tae Ha.

Being pretty. Do you mean this?

- It was this person. I'm sure. - Kim Gab Yong?

He killed Kang Hee Sook.

I'll ask just one thing.

To what level do I have to get him to?

Until he can get a read on me.

An, what's wrong? Wake up.

- An, wake up. - Hey.
