Take care.

Are you going to live here?

I live in Unit 201 with my mom.

Who do you live with?

No one.

Where are you going?

To get my things.

Let me help.

I'm good.

But I want to help.

- Why? - Because you're by yourself.

They're too heavy for you.

You can't use the vacuum or the washing machine...

too early in the morning.

My mom hates that.

She's really scary when she gets mad.

Why are you here instead of at your house?

Is it because of your mom?

No.

Do you really live in the unit downstairs?

Why are you home so early?

Tell him to come in.

Unbelievable.

All right. Get inside.

Come on!

(1st Case of the Stigmata Serial Murder)

(8th Case of the Stigmata Serial Murder)

Are you kidding me?

- What? - How dare you!

- You cow. - Darn you.

You jerk!

- Why you... - Leave.

Please don't.

Get out of here.

Come on. Go to your room.

If you're going to drink and cause a scene, just leave.

- Leave. Get out of here. - You...

- You're ordering me around? - Get out!

Please help.

He's hitting my mom.

You little brat. Get over here.

You should run away.

It'll be fine, so get behind me.

Who do you think you are?

Who gave you the right to barge in like this?

According to Article 212 of the Criminal Procedure Code,

I am arresting you on charges of assault.

You crazy cow.

And who gave you the right to arrest me?

An arrest can be made when a crime has been witnessed.

Come here.

Thanks for making my job easier.

Why you...

I'm also adding charges of obstruction of justice.

You have the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent.

Hey.

Let me go.

Ms. Cha.

Did your mom tell you to spend time outside again?

I was waiting for you.

But you didn't know when I'd be back.

That's why I waited every day.

You're my soul.

You just need to water it two times a week.

Make sure the water reaches the roots.

What if it dies because of me?

It's okay. You're still a little kid.

You can make mistakes.

It's okay to do that at your age.

Come on.

I'm going to keep this door locked from now on...

so that you won't be able to enter.

Why?

Because if you see what's inside,

you'll have nightmares.

I only asked you to water the plants.

Then come home more often.

Unit 201.

Ko Eun Ho.

Thanks.

Let's go eat something nice.

Mr. Lee.

It's nice to meet you.

Hello, ma'am.

Say hello.

It's been a while. Have you been well?

I wanted to visit you after you quit,

but you never answered my calls.

- I'm sorry. - Don't apologize.

If it weren't for you, something really bad could've...

happened to Jae Min because of that bully.

What about the scar you got that day? Has it healed?

That happened a long time ago. I'm fine.

What a relief.

Hurry up. Come on.

There you go. You're so clumsy.

Let's go.

He looks just like his mom.

What are you thinking about?

What if you fail...

to find the culprit of the stigmata serial murder case?

Are you going to keep investigating? For how long?

Why do you ask all of a sudden?

Did something happen?

If...

by any chance, something bad happens to me,

I don't ever want you to know.

What do you mean?

Why would you say that?

The room that's always locked...

was open.

No way.

Did you go inside?

- You went in because it was open? - I'm sorry.

You knew what was inside.

That's why I braced myself before I went inside.

But it was terrible.

It was way worse than what I had imagined.

It wasn't for long, but I felt tormented.

But you've been on that case for so long.

The culprit might be dead.

So in other words, if anything bad happens to you,

you don't want me to find out because you're worried...

that I might torment myself over it?

Really?

Thank you for worrying about me.

But how could I not know if something happens to you?

You knew about my promotion before I even told you.

You're right.

How is school?

It's not bad.

Hey, Mom.

Are you home? Did you eat?

Yes, I ate.

I ate what was in the fridge.

"What was in the fridge"?

Hey, you're here.

Okay, I'm going to sleep at my boyfriend's place tonight.

Okay.

She's not coming home?

No.

Does this happen often?

It's okay. I'm not a kid anymore.

I'd rather have her sleep there...

than to have him sleep at our place.

You're still a kid.

I can't wait to grow up.

Is your room still the same?

Holding on to this case will only...

consume your life.

(To my sister, From Ha Ru)

It was opened but we only found the sister's prints.

We assumed the victim died before reading it,

and the killer read it instead.

(If she had been murdered just a day earlier,)

(the case wouldn't have fallen under the Taewan Law.)

Aren't you afraid of me?

I could still come after you, you know.

I will...

find you no matter what.

(Homicide Team 1, Team Leader, Lieutenant Cha Young Jin)

Have a good day.

Have you decided?

Come with me.

The deadline has passed.

Who are you to tell me to turn myself in?

I did well with the exam papers my mom gave me.

What harm did I cause you?

I only told you so we could stay friends.

Let me off this once.

It won't happen again.

I'm doing this because I consider you a friend.

- What? - If you won't,

I'll do it.

Darn it.

Okay. Give me a few more days.

- Min Sung. - I'm not yet prepared.

Okay?

("The Life Before Us")

Is this book fun?

- Yes. - How so?

You'll see if you read it.

- Give it back. - You said I must read it.

I'll return it later.

I want it back.

I will after I'm done with it.

Give it back.

Oh, dear.

You should've gotten out of the way.

Ko Eun Ho.

The bell rang. Why are you standing?

I'm sorry, sir.

Listen up. Starting today,

we'll end the day after cleaning the classroom.

- Why? - Mr. Lee.

- Mr. Lee. - Come on.

- Why? - That's too late.

Silence. Open your textbooks.

Take your hand out of your pocket.

Let's go to the cafeteria.

Come on.

Shall we tell Mr. Lee that Eun Ho got punched?

Yun Jin Il's mom's on the Anti-Bullying Commission.

She might make Eun Ho the attacker.

Hey.

How exactly did Eun Ho get punched?

(There's milk.)

Hey.

Don't touch Ko Eun Ho.

He's my prey.

Okay. Sorry.

- Jae Hong, let's go. - Okay.

- Hello. - Congrats on the commendation.

Thank you.

- Congratulations on the promotion. - Me too.

Thanks. Bye.

Ms. Cha.

Why did you...

pick Jae Hong for your team instead of me?

What if you know?

I must know to match your standards or change.

Tell her. She'll get sick with curiosity.

Neither of you were much better than the other.

Then what was your standard of choice?

I just preferred Detective Lee's reason for applying.

What was it?

Don't answer that. See you.

Okay. Bye.

Goodbye.

What did he put on his application?

You're better off dealing with me.

We're stuck in the office all day...

looking at each other.

I want to be like her,

who got a special promotion every step of the way.

I should help you realize that dream.

- How? - I won't give you points...

so you don't get promoted.

Don't do that, ma'am.

Ms. Lee Ha Ru.

Detective Cha Young Jin?

Yes.

He is Detective Lee Jae Hong.

I hope we get along.

Me too.

You recognized me right away.

You look a lot like your sister.

I haven't heard that for a long time.

(To my sister, From Ha Ru)

I'll call as soon as we get any results.

There's one more thing.

I found this while looking for the card.

I'd forgotten about it until I saw it.

Shortly before my sister died,

I met a strange man on the street.

No thanks.

Your older sister is sick.

She's not.

She's healthy.

Not her body. Her soul is sick.

Then what should I do?

- Shall I help? - Yes.

Okay. Your sister will be born again.

My sister told me to throw it away. So I kept it without her knowing.

I'd forgotten about it until now.

What do you remember about that man?

Only that he sounded very kind.

This doll has six wings.

It's an angel in the painting...

"Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata".

As in the stigmata from the stigmata serial murders?

It's a real stigmata.

Take this to the National Forensic Service.

What about you?

- I'm heading home. - Sorry?

That's what I just said.

You should never be so selfish.

Excuse me, sir.

Have you ever seen this before?

Let me take a closer look.

Oh, this.

- Do you know what it is? - A pastor at our church...

made these for kids.

Do you remember his name?

Let me think.

Oh, here he is.

Seo Sang Won.

Yes, it was him.

Seo Sang Won?

Is he still alive?

He left us a long time ago.

Then there's no reason not to tell me.

Unless you tell me what this is about,

I can't answer your questions.

I'll find out anyway. All you're doing is slowing me down.

Still, who knows what I'll find while I look into this place?

Are you all right, sir?

Yes, a man just collapsed.

Yes, I did learn.

I'll try.

Thank you.

(Lieutenant Cha Young Jin)

If he kept his eyes on the family of the deceased,

he would've definitely known about Detective Cha.

Is Seo Sang Won the culprit?

I can't tell you yet.

If you don't cooperate,

I'll have to investigate New Life Church.

If you keep this for me until I come back for it,

I promise I'll repay you.

Can I really trust you?

Yes.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Baek Sang Ho, the chairman of New Life Foundation.

I have something to tell you.

She doesn't even know anything.

Did you forget why I became a police officer?

I need to finish this case myself.
