Gosh, it's cold.

What's so funny?

I'm wearing new clothes, new shoes,

and I spent an hour styling my hair.

Am I unlucky or what?

So much for a first date.

A date?

Two people having fun together. Isn't that what a date is?

But I'm not interested in you.

Then why do you spend time with me on your day off?

Well...

That's because you'll bother me less if I go out with you once.

That hurts, you know.

Let's go.

The owner of the fried chicken store said...

that your eyes linger on me every time I walk by.

While buying an ice pop, a fifth-grader, Sun Woo asked...

if we were dating.

Has it ever occurred to you...

that you're the only one who doesn't know...

you like me?

Gosh, you're impossible.

Let's play rock-paper-scissors...

and have the loser stand out

in the rain for 30 seconds.

No way. I don't indulge in silly games.

Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors!

You lost!

Come on. Get out there already.

Hee Seong?

What's wrong?

You're really weird. Do you know that?

Why do you like me? Why?

I really don't get it.

How could you like a guy like me?

Never mind. There's no point in talking to you.

I should get going.

Why did you have to get married and get yourself in this mess?

I told you countless times to go live abroad.

"Marriage"?

How could you dare try to live like everyone else?

Don't ruin our lives along with yours.

Imagine what would happen if people find out about us.

I don't even want to think about it.

That better not happen.

If it does, I'll kill myself right in front of you.

Calm down.

Nothing has happened yet.

You should drink it.

He's a guy named Nam Soon Kil. We met when I was young,

and something happened between us.

I think that's why things got messed up.

I'm sorry I slapped you.

Did it hurt?

I'm fine.

Why can't I control myself?

You should tie my hands together if I ever get too worked up again.

What about your wife? She doesn't know anything, right?

She's in charge of this case.

What?

What did I tell you? I warned you, didn't I?

I told you she'll make things worse.

It might help us deal with it a lot quicker.

I didn't like her from the start.

You should be careful of her. She's so two-faced.

How could you marry someone like her?

My goodness.

The culprit was caught on CCTV.

And he even left bloodstains at the scene.

This case will get solved.

You know we'll be fine.

They may be after Do Hyun Su, but it won't lead to Baek Hee Seong.

That is, as long as you continue to stay on my side.

You should go.

Okay.

Our house is too big.

It's too big for two people.

You should come by once in a while and eat with us.

It's not just you two.

I'll see you.

Your son needs to eat.

I'll take care of him.

Hee Seong.

Here's a family register of Do Min Seok and Do Hyun Su.

(Family Register)

Do Min Seok has a daughter.

Yes, she's Do Hyun Su's big sister.

She's the same age as you.

Ji Won, why don't you meet her?

I already met the victim's family.

You can go ahead and meet the suspect's family.

I really envy that you have such a naive mask.

People find me uneasy because I'm so charismatic.

In other words, you're very hard to like.

Don't move.

Hey, that's enough chit-chat.

Start out by checking Do Hae Su's phone number and address.

Okay, sir.

How does it feel? It doesn't hurt anymore, does it?

It doesn't sting.

But it smells weird.

It has a weird smell.

It smells a bit acidic.

Is it okay?

It's the smell of liquid latex.

It's pretty much nontoxic.

Oh, okay.

Ms. Do Hae Su.

You see,

I want him to look like he just died.

Can you make the wound look fresher?

Have you ever seen a murdered corpse in real life?

What?

- Give me some more blood. - Here.

Ms. Do, you're getting a call.

- Hello? - Are you Ms. Do Hae Su?

This is Detective Cha Ji Won...

from Violent Crime Unit at Gangsu Police Station.

Ms. Do Hae Su?

I'm Detective Cha Ji Won, the person who called.

How did you know?

Do I look similar to Do Min Seok?

No, I just guessed.

You came early.

The filming site was a lot nearer than expected.

- Here's my business card. - I don't know anything.

(Cha Ji Won)

- Pardon? - I don't know anything.

After Hyun Su disappeared in 2002, I never saw him again.

For 18 years, I've met tons of cops and told them the same thing.

Can I go now?

That's not what I came to ask.

About 900,000 dollars in assets held by Do Min Seok...

have not yet been processed as your inheritance.

The house in Paju, the workshop in Gakyeongri,

and the vacation house in Taean. As far as I know, that is.

Why did you sell the plots of land but leave the buildings?

It's like you left places of refuge for Do Hyun Su.

I guess cops investigate based on imagination now.

I sold the land to pay the families of the victims.

Other than that, I'm not interested in that monster's money.

I haven't seen our Hyun Su for 18 years already.

How many times must I tell you for you to believe me?

"Our" Hyun Su?

If you had to deal with the police and media alone for 18 years,

you must resent your brother a great deal.

But you seem...

sad.

I've been gone for too long.

Sounds like I can't be of any help.

A serial killer's son got himself a nice new identity.

- What are you doing? - Oh my gosh.

You scared me.

It's your fault for letting your guard down.

A boss who peeks at your monitor from behind is the most annoying.

A great employee is not ashamed of what's on his monitor.

I brought this for you.

This is the father's case, and this is the son's case.

It was hard for me to get.

I'm waiting for that exclusive.

(Baek Hee Seong)

How's the police investigation going?

- Look at this. - What?

Want to try it on?

- Why? - Try it on.

Okay.

What are you doing?

The Chinese restaurant murder case.

You came home like this last night.

What about it?

This raincoat is common.

What? Do you think I went out in the middle of the night...

and committed murder?

Don't be silly.

When you came home like this,

I was startled and didn't recognize you at first.

But how did Nam Soon Kil recognize him right away?

The killer was wearing a mask too.

Maybe he was mistaken.

No. The killer has to be Do Hyun Su.

Why?

I have to catch him to get a special promotion...

for solving a long-term unsolved case.

Go to bed first. I have a lot to look over.

Do as you wish.

(Yeonju City Serial Murder Case)

Did they really not know?

What?

I wonder if the kids really didn't know...

that their father was a serial killer.

Especially since the father probably had an influence...

on Do Hyun Su developing antisocial personality disorder.

Anyway, it's a good case.

What is?

It's a good case study for researching the effect...

DNA plays in developing antisocial personality disorder.

So? Do you think you'll catch the killer soon?

We have his DNA,

so all we have to do is confirm his face,

but it's not easy.

We're going to get a sketch together.

There's someone who can confirm Do Hyun Su's face.

Who's that?

The owner of the Chinese restaurant where he worked.

I wonder where he disappeared to.

How could he disappear without a trace like that?

Sweetie. Stop looking at that. Take a break.

No. Once I lie down, it's too hard to get back up.

Don't just look at the files. Look at me too.

- Come here. - Goodness.

Oh my gosh.

Was my husband always this handsome?

What? Did you forget what I look like already?

No way. I can recognize you even from your shadow.

My poor wifey.

Look at the dark circles under your eyes.

I need to make you sleep.

I can't get sleepy.

That's not good.

Maybe I'll take a five-minute nap.

- Ji Won. - Yes?

I guess that Reporter Kim Moo Jin...

will participate in putting together that sketch, right?

That's right. We have him too.

We'll have to compare with the restaurant owner.

But did I tell you that Reporter Kim knew Do Hyun Su?

Yes. While you were changing earlier.

That they went to school together.

I'm such a big mouth.

You can't tell anyone what I tell you, okay?

Of course, not.

(Gakyeongri Village Foreman Murder)

Six bodies were found buried in that small town.

Moreover, the victims' thumbnails and photos were found...

in Do Min Seok's workshop. It was a shocking case.

The Yeonju City serial murder case was already 18 years ago.

The killer's son, who was in high school at the time,

- is back in the spotlight. Why? - What's this?

A heinous murder was committed early one morning...

in a Chinese restaurant in Seoul.

The prime suspect as of now...

is that serial killer Do Min Seok's son.

My gosh. Like father, like son.

This is a picture of Do Hyun Su that has been made public.

Isn't that picture too young?

The police are having a hard time with the investigation...

because they can't confirm his appearance.

So they say they desperately need help from the people.

No.

He looks manlier and bigger.

Don't you agree?

Yes.

Well, he grew like 20cm...

when he was in high school.

His face changed a lot then.

Stop them from putting together the sketch.

I have something else to do.

He has a scar on the left side of his forehead.

It's about 3cm long like a thin white line.

Is that so?

I see you don't remember.

Get to my age,

and you'll understand.

Are you sure?

A scar is very crucial in identifying suspects.

The memory couldn't be clearer for me.

I was driving a tractor with Hyun Su beside me.

He got knocked off when I made a swerve.

He bumped his forehead...

and had to get about seven stitches.

Over here. Could you add a scar?

The focus of your eyes is crucial when trying to look sad.

Let's take a look at a sad expression.

The corners of the mouth look like they're being pulled down,

and there is no focus in your eyes.

I can only imagine your grief, so I thank you again...

for agreeing to this interview.

I've covered many stories being a reporter,

but this one definitely hits close to home.

I heard that you're the last person...

that my husband called.

If only I had picked up...

I'm truly sorry.

No, don't be. This isn't your fault.

Please don't blame yourself.

I feel responsible.

I'm grateful that you feel that way.

That's why I ask this.

Your husband was attacked at 3am.

Why do you think he was still at the restaurant?

It's been about two months.

Once a week, he'd stay late...

to invent a new recipe.

His attacker knew that.

Who could it have been?

I can't think of anyone but myself who knew that fact.

You need to figure this out.

I'm sure that someone else knew about it.

I know I have it here somewhere.

Not this.

Nor this.

Right. Here it is.

Yes, that's right. I'm sure of it.

Sorry?

Did you say you have a photo of Do Hyun Su from five years ago?

Sorry?

Did you say you have a photo of Do Hyun Su from five years ago?

Ma'am, just a second.

Could you please elaborate?

My daughter who lives in Seoul...

offered to show me around.

We went everywhere taking photo after photo.

Do Hyun Su is seen in the background on one of them.

Are you sure it's him?

My neighbor and I debated over it for some time,

but I'm quite sure of it.

I saw him grow up in this town.

We have someone who can verify that,

so we would appreciate you providing us the photo.

Yes, of course.

The more I look at him,

the more I see his father in him.

Could you take a photo of it and send it to us?

No way!

He doesn't look anything like Hyun Su.

Take a look. Does he look like Hyun Su to you?

Let me see. Well, I can't say...

that they could qualify as twins,

but one could still take him for a stepbrother.

Mr. Kim, are you certain that you remember his face?

Of course.

I remember it as if I had met him yesterday.

You said your memory was fuzzy though.

The younger man would remember better.

We'll start with this and try to make it more accurate.

Yes, Chief.

What? Sure, I'll be right in.

Thank you for today. You may head home now.

Why? Shouldn't we keep working on this?

Yes, we don't need to anymore.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Even though it seems frivolous,

please call me if you think of anything.

Sure, I will.

- Take care then. - You too.

The taxi.

Mr. Kim, the taxi!

- Sorry? - Homi Village,

Gakyeongri, Namcheon-myeon, Yeonju City.

Ms. Oh Bok Ja.

I said I could send it to you via express mail.

You don't have to come all the way down here.

This is an urgent matter, you see.

Do not let anyone else see it until we get there though.

Don't you worry.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll go with Detective Im.

Is something bothering you?

Sorry?

The look on your face reads a whole lot of doubt.

Instead of chasing after Do Hyun Su,

I feel like we're being dragged along by him.

Why hasn't he come back for this?

Mr. Park, you left your tumbler behind.

If you don't come by for it today, we'll have to throw it out.

Gosh, Detective, I'm sorry. I've been busy working.

I'll stop by for it today.

Sure thing. Please keep it safe for me.

Right, of course. Have a good day.

(Gangsu Police Station)

Detective Choi, where are we with the dash cam footage...

from the cars parked around New Sun Villas?

I had no luck with the ones from this morning.

I'll have to do another sweep.

Don't look so glum.

Once we have Do Hyun Su's photo,

the case will basically solve itself.

Do Hyun Su.

Your phone.

Give me your phone, and let me make a call.

My battery died.

My wife's waiting for my call.

Hyun Su,

must you be so stingy?

Here. Listen to music on this instead.

And throw out that piece of junk.

Then with what will I listen to my tapes on?

Do Hyun Su?

You're Do Hyun Su, aren't you?

Did you just say "Do Hyun Su"?

I just have a bad feeling today.

Should I have gone with them?

What can possibly happen...

when they only went to bring back a photo?

My husband used a call taxi every time he worked until late,

and he always came home in the same car.

I'm glad you called. I need you to look into something.

There's a taxi company called Yigang Call Taxi...

Hey, now is not the time for that.

I have good and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?

You have bad news? What is it?

Remember the lady named Bok Ja?

She apparently has a photo of you from five years ago.

There's even worse news. Do you want to hear it?

What is it?

The cops are going to go and get it. Detective Cha is going.

- What? - Your wife is on her way...

to catch you.

What's the good news then?

That I'm on your side.

Where are you right now?

What happened to the composite sketch?

They both had different memories, so it didn't go very well.

We'll know once we get the photo. Let's go.

(Gangsu Police Station)

- Hurry up and drive. - Hey, you're here.

Do you think we'll be able to get there first?

I know for a fact that we'll get there first.

How do you know?

Because they won't run any red lights.

(Unprotected left turn)

I can't believe we're on our way to a serial murder site.

I know.

Seven people were buried in that small town.

I'm surprised none of the residents noticed anything.

Only six bodies were found.

The last body never got found.

I'm guessing the culprit buried the victim somewhere new.

Where could it be?

I hope we at least find the body.

But why did he commit suicide?

If he hadn't committed suicide,

no one would've found out about the murders.

The cops were investigating...

Do Min Seok's suicide, and that's how they found out.

Yes, exactly. But how will we ever understand how a monster thinks?

Do you think he really did commit suicide?

This is starting to sound like a conspiracy theory.

They only found the victims' right fingernails...

at Do Min Seok's workshop.

Then what about the left fingernails?

Do you think he could've shared them with someone?

For example,

his son.

Your speed is being monitored in this area.

Please drive within the speed limit.

It'd be amazing if we catch the culprit first.

The cops and press are all after Do Hyun Su.

But imagine how it would be if a reporter catches the culprit...

and writes an article about it.

Doesn't that sound great?

You're not listening.

Why do you have my sister's necklace?

What?

My older sister's necklace.

Oh, that?

That's well...

I just happened to...

How is that Hae Su's?

I bought it for her, so it's mine.

I got it back when we broke up.

I totally forgot about it, but I found it in a drawer one day.

I was going to fix it and sell it. Do you have a problem with that?

I threw it away.

What?

Hey, why would you...

You can't sell it anyway. It's way too cheap.

Hyun Su.

Let me ask you something.

How did Do Hyun Su become Baek Hee Seong?

Are you being a reporter?

How did you manage to fool Detective Cha?

- Moo Jin. - Yes? What is it?

Your secret will stay with me.

Ji Won knows nothing about me.

She doesn't know my past, and she doesn't know I'm abnormal.

Do you really not have any feelings for her?

People say you become...

more affectionate of your spouse once you have kids.

I need Ji Won by my side.

My dad...

is scared of her.

He won't be able to come near me...

as long as she's with me.

What are you saying?

You're freaking me out.

I'll promise you one thing.

What? Hey, wait...

Gosh, I didn't know that was there.

Hey, wait. What are you... No, let me do it.

Hey, you can't delete...

I have tons of important interviews saved in that thing. Don't do that.

If Ji Won ever finds out what you know,

I might really kill you.

Gosh, stop joking around.

It's not funny.

I'm serious.

(Gakyeongri)

More than half the houses here are empty now.

Come here! I said come here!

Move!

Come here!

You are almost at your destination.

Turn right in 300m.

Here. Get ready.

(Oh Bok Ja)

Okay, make sure to stick to the plan.

You remember everything, right?

I'm going to explain one last time. Listen carefully.

Okay.

First, I'll meet Ms. Oh and make her focus on me.

- Ms. Oh! Hey! - What are you doing here?

- It's been so long. - My goodness.

- Here. Eat this. - My gosh.

I'll say I'm writing about the case and ask her to show me the photo.

So this is it.

And then,

I'll text you where she puts the picture.

Then, I'll lure Ms. Oh out, saying we should greet the cops...

coming from Seoul.

They're coming such a long way. We should greet them outside.

Of course, we should.

When we do, you go inside and steal the picture.

No. You bring it out nicely.

I'll hold the cops back.

While I buy time,

you...

get out of there safely.

And we meet at the meet-up spot.

What do you think? Simple, right?

What if she doesn't show you the picture?

What if you can't lure her out?

What if you can't hold the cops back?

Do you have a better idea?

If not, don't complain.

Hide in there.

Ms. Oh.

Ms. Bok Ja.

I'm Moo Jin, the one who became a reporter in Seoul.

Kim Moo Jin.

Are you inside?

Ms. Oh.

Careful.

- What? - Be careful.

Full?

Watch your back.

What is he doing?

Who are you?

- Do Hyun Su. - I don't know you.

Why are you doing this to me?

You may not know me, but you must know Jung Mi Sook well.

What?

Where's Jung Mi Sook?

- Jung Mi Sook? - The cops will be here soon.

Do we have time to chit-chat like this?

Neither of us wants to see the cops.

Doesn't that car look familiar?

I think it's Reporter Kim Moo Jin's car.

How did he know?

Let's meet ourselves, without the cops.

There's a nice inn by the fishing spot.

I'll pick you up from there in my cab tonight.

I've been waiting so long for this first date.

We both need time to doll up.

Don't you agree?

What are you after?

Ms. Oh Bok Ja, are you in?

Ms. Oh Bok Ja.

Do Hyun Su!

- Mr. Kim. - Detective Im.

- Mr. Kim. - Ms. Oh's inside.

Let go!

Let go!

Let go! Let go of me!

Let go!

Let go of me.

Let me go!

You!

Darn.

Do Hyun Su, stop right there!

Uncuff me!

Hello? Where on earth are you?

I nearly died, you know.

So what happened?

Find out who Jung Mi Sook is.

That's the name he said.

Jung Mi Sook?

Wait, I've heard that name before.

He asked me where she was.

She must be connected to me.

Hello?

What a jerk.

Jung Mi Sook?

Jung Mi Sook...

Ji Won, are you kidding me?

I was worried sick about you.

Get me out of these cuffs first. I'm humiliated as it is.

Are you injured?

No, I'm good.

But it's a mess in here. Are you sure you're okay?

You could've broken a bone.

No, I'm good.

Just get me out of these.

Unbelievable.

Wait, is Ms. Oh all right?

Yes, she's a little bit shocked, that's all.

She wasn't injured,

but the photo got stolen.

I should've caught him.

How did he know about the photo though?

Who on earth is this Do Hyun Su?

It wasn't Do Hyun Su.

What?

Which one is Do Hyun Su?

Which one is Do Hyun Su?

He doesn't know who Do Hyun Su is?

What we know for certain is that the killer is after Do Hyun Su.

He's taking drastic measures to get to him.

We got it wrong. The killer...

It's not Do Hyun Su.

There's a nice inn by the fishing spot.

I'll pick you up from there in my cab tonight.

Come on in.

Let me know if you need anything.

- Sure. - Good night, then.

(Gakyeongri Town Hall)

Thank you for gathering at such a late hour.

- Of course. - Don't mention it.

- Of course, we should be here. - Of course.

After what happened to Ok Ja?

My gosh, how terrifying! How can we live here?

Is Do Hyun Su really back?

See? What did I tell you?

Just like his father, that boy is possessed by a ghost.

- Exactly. - We should've continued...

the exorcism back then.

- I know. - Of course.

What does Hyun Su have against this town anyway?

The person we're after isn't Do Hyun Su.

- What are you saying? - What?

We're after someone who's chasing after Do Hyun Su.

Did someone from outside this town...

come by to ask about him?

- Gosh. - Where do we begin?

All visitors from the city...

only come here to ask about him.

- Exactly. - What kind of visitors?

- TV producers. - Right.

- Journalists and reporters. - Exactly.

Some writers too.

And cops like you...

- Don't call them that! - I mean, police officers.

Please give it a deeper thought.

The culprit we're after holds a deep grudge against Do Hyun Su.

- What? - How should we know?

Wait, that man.

- That man! - Who?

Who are you talking about?

- You know who. - Who?

That taxi driver!

The taxi driver?

Found it.

Detective Oh's hard work...

in retrieving the dash cam footage finally paid off.

We got you now.

Wait. No one got off.

The driver said he got off near New Sun Villas.

(Im Ho Joon)

- Yes? - Chief.

It isn't Do Hyun Su. We had it wrong.

What? What are you saying?

So we're...

- Is that Chief? - Yes.

Chief, there's a victim of Do Min Seok's murder...

whose body was never found.

Please look into her husband.

He's probably a taxi driver.

A taxi driver?

(Speaker)

Elaborate.

Out of seven of the victims,

there was one whose body was never found.

The search got called off.

Her husband came by the town whenever he could...

and dug up the area around where the other bodies were found.

I'll find you soon, Mi Sook.

You won't have to wait long.

- Hey! - Look here!

- What do you think you're doing? - Get off me!

- He wasn't himself. - I must find her!

He believed Do Hyun Su...

to be an accomplice of Do Min Seok and became obsessed.

He thought that Do Hyun Su knew where his wife was buried.

However, Chief...

I have no idea how the killer knew...

about the photo Ms. Oh had.

I'm afraid it could've been leaked...

during our investigation.

And Nam Soon Kil feared Do Hyun Su until the moment he died.

What's that photo of Do Hyun Su?

It's his middle school graduation photo.

In 2002, when Do Hyun Su was 18,

he killed the village foreman and ran away.

And before he did, he set his house on fire.

He killed with his father?

My wife and I made a matching set of this.

Mi Sook's phone was found...

at Do Min Seok's workshop, but not this.

If what you said is correct,

it means that Do Hyun Su had it all along.

- Leave it to the cops. - The cops...

aren't interested in catching Do Hyun Su at all.

Unless he does something...

to attract everyone's attention.

Get to your senses.

What's the use of finding her body? It'll be all decayed now.

That's not going to change anything.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

How exactly did I help?

The stuff you told me about Do Hyun Su.

It's going to help me out a lot.

Eun Ha, why are you crying?

There, there.

You saw your dad, so stop crying.

I woke up,

and you weren't there.

My gosh, come and take her home.

That's why.

Will you be here soon?

Yes, I'll be there soon.

Is Mom coming with you?

Dad, hurry up and come!

I miss you!

Okay, I'll be right there.

I'll see you later.

Detective, can you take a look at this?

We found it inside the warehouse earlier.

We were wondering if it belongs to you.

This is my gift to you.

I love it. Thanks.

Your initials are engraved on it.

(Flower of Evil)

I think my husband is the victim that got kidnapped.

You saw how Park Kyung Choon killed Nam Soon Kil.

Jae Seop, tell me what I need to do.

Park Kyung Choon is still near the village.

Take the road by the reservoir.

You're almost there.

Killing me won't complete your imagination.

I can't prove something I don't even know.

Where is Jung Mi Sook?

Help!
