(Episode 2)

Wow, there's a place like this in Seoul?

It's huge.

He has great ability.

He must have made a fortune.

But still.

Don't you think he's a little way too well-off?

Gosh, a guy who can see death.

I can't believe what I heard.

He can't have some supernatural power,

so is he a shaman who specializes in seeing death?

- Bong Soo. - Yes?

Find the door.

The door?

Normally, you need to make an appointment beforehand.

Wait over there. He'll be with you soon.

Gosh, he must be filthy rich.

I know.

I wonder who his clients are...

for him to be this rich.

They're probably both wealthy and powerful.

Apparently, he's very renown...

in the political and financial worlds.

The rich are surely different.

He even has a painting of someone.

By the way, who is this?

Since Kim Tae Pyung is 27, it must be his father.

Oh, come on.

He's too ugly to be his father.

Then...

are you any handsome?

He startled me.

My apologies. We didn't know you were here.

Hello, I'm from Crime Division One of Seoul Central Station.

Seo Joon Young?

Correct.

I'm sorry for asking,

but how are you related to Mr. Kim Tae Pyung?

If you're sorry, don't ask.

- Sorry? - Don't bother...

the innocent.

Hello.

I heard you can foresee death.

That's ridiculous.

You can't foresee death?

Det. Seo, I thought you were the smart type.

There's no way someone would have that kind of ability.

Based on our investigation...

You must've made a wrong investigation.

Then what's your relationship with Oh Sung Min from...

I don't know him.

I was abducted...

and had to experience something I never wanted.

Then what about the bulletproof vest?

The bulletproof vest?

I always wear it.

Do you hear that?

Doesn't it sound wonderful?

Bulletproof vests are a must these days...

since there are so many bad guys out there.

Shootings happen everywhere these days.

There's this movie called "Platoon".

In that movie, people are having a war.

And then suddenly...

There's a scene like this. When I watched that scene,

I was terrified.

I've always pondered about what I should do in such situations.

That's when I came up with...

bulletproof vests. I decided to wear one myself...

so that I could save my life during such situations.

I came up with this idea.

Think about it.

If I don't wear one, I'll be stabbed and shot.

Then what can I do?

You're looking at me...

as if I'm a lunatic or something.

That's right.

Come on.

Okay. I got it.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Are you leaving?

Goodbye.

My gosh.

He's weird, isn't he?

He's insane.

Don't you think you worsened the situation?

Not at all. It'd be even worse if they found out.

Imagine if the media found out.

I don't want to.

It's better to be deemed a lunatic.

If the reporters found out,

I'd be like an animal caged in a zoo.

There won't be any evidence either.

They're so meticulous.

They were going to test you.

What is it?

Is it gruesome?

No, it's just...

It's just your average kind.

Right, about that photo...

Accidental death, drowning, asphyxia...

There are various types of deaths.

Which one did you pick?

It's a secret.

Did you pick the gruesomest one?

I mean...

He just looked like a lunatic.

He could be, or he could just be pretending.

Pretending?

If it's obvious that we won't buy it,

he'd be better off pretending like it's not true.

Are you telling me that you actually believe...

that such an ability exists?

Who knows.

I'll only know once he figures out her death.

Come on.

We'll go now.

What do you want to eat?

Let's see. How about sundae soup?

You always eat that.

Then...

Were they filming a movie or what?

I heard the crime scene was gruesome.

Do you know if they'll have a fight again?

According to the first responder, there was a survivor.

Come on, let's help each other out. Who was the survivor? Who?

He must be the reason why the fight broke out. Bingo?

At this rate, you'll be following me to the toilet.

This isn't the way to the toilet.

You do know that a reporter omits suppositions in his articles, right?

- Hey. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Did the NISI give us the autopsy report?

About that...

Four Weeks is in charge of that case.

What? It's him again?

Yes.

Darn it.

Come on. The result could come out sooner or later.

Why is he so fixated on four weeks?

This isn't Family Court or something.

Hey, is he a divorce or something?

He hasn't begun the autopsy yet.

Darn it.

This won't do. I won't put up with this.

You should.

What's his name?

Hello?

Hello.

This is Det. Seo Joon Young from Crime Division One...

of Seoul Central Station.

Is Mr. Goo Do Kyung, the medical examiner, there?

Speaking.

Hello.

- Rushing me won't help. - Sorry?

I'll let you know the schedule by the end of this week,

and the result will come out in four weeks.

That's why I called. Could you help me out a bit?

My superiors are breathing down my neck.

So I'm begging you. Could you please hasten it?

Don't you think it's not right to beg while pooping?

No, it wasn't me who was pooping.

Someone else was.

I'm hanging up.

Hello? Hello?

Darn it!

So did you find out who the survivor was?

It's difficult since he's a US citizen.

- He's a US citizen? - Yes, he's Korean-American.

We're trying our best, but no one's talking.

I heard the detective in charge is a woman. Maybe that's why.

It's Det. Seo Joon Young.

She's been in Crime Division One the longest.

Not many women can do that.

She has her own desk now.

I'm really trying, but she's not giving in.

- What's her name again? - Seo Joon Young.

- Bring them in here. - Okay.

Come inside.

Bring the files on my desk.

(Seoul Central Station)

All right, then. Let me cross-check your testimony.

Your name is Kim Tae Pyung. On October 14,

you were abducted by Oh Sung Min and brought...

to an abandoned warehouse in Seoul...

an hour before the shooting occurred.

You said you knew nothing about the shooting. Correct?

Yes.

You were also not aware of the reason why it happened.

I got shot in the beginning, so I had no time to look around.

I see.

Thank you for your testimony.

Please read this...

and sign here.

Am I finished here?

Yes. If we ever need you again,

we'll contact your lawyer.

Have a good day.

Thanks.

I didn't think you'd come to the station in person.

I was informed to write the statement myself.

And this.

You forgot this earlier.

I hope we don't have to see each other again.

Mr. Kim Tae Pyung.

I'm sure you opened the envelope.

Yes.

It was just a photo.

Tell me. What did he write on his statement?

Where he was abducted, the date,

and the incident that happened at the crime scene.

He made a statement that he was abducted due to a misunderstanding.

Come on.

This is enough.

Listen. Being able to see someone's death...

Gosh.

You know that can't be true.

My point, exactly.

Bearing arms in Korea is illegal.

This happened in broad daylight.

There was a shooting incident in the middle of the city.

But how did a guy who was abducted due to a misunderstanding...

know this would happen and wear a bulletproof vest?

That's not all.

The guy who was abducted wasn't even conscious,

but his lawyer came to the hospital before the detective in charge did.

You all saw that, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

She even called the hospital to double check.

Do you know what she said?

She asked if there was a patient with a gunshot wound.

You know what?

I know that this sounds totally absurd.

I'm bringing this up because I get the feeling...

they prepared this in advance.

You're here.

Hi.

Mr. Kim?

You can sit over there.

Welcome.

Mr. Kim?

I'm Han Dong Woo, the team leader of Crime Division One.

Why can't I see that woman, Seo Joon Young's death?

Stop thinking about it.

You two are tangled up with bad karma.

Detective Seo can just tell us who the survivor is if there's one.

Why do you think she's hiding the survivor?

I know, right?

That's the only survivor...

when 12 executive members of the gangs died.

Rumor has it she'll close the case without a press conference.

That's why she didn't tell us anything.

She'll close the case without a press conference?

Should I dig this case?

If we do it right,

we might get enough to run a special column on it.

Seo Joon Young.

I've heard of her name somewhere.

Is she that Seo Joon Young?

- What? - Don't you remember?

The daughter of the detective, Seo Dong Chul?

I heard that his daughter became a cop.

Wait, his daughter...

is Detective Seo Joon Young at Seoul Central Station?

What's the back story?

Seriously? You know nothing.

Don't you remember?

Seo Joon Young from the Jo Pil Doo case.

That 10-year-old girl became a detective?

I knew it. Her name did ring a bell.

I knew that she was a hard nut to crack.

Blood is thicker than water, indeed.

There are a lot of women here. Don't use that language.

My apologies.

Hey, who's on the beat at the Seoul Central Station?

- Oh Ye Ji, the intern. - Call her.

Okay.

Gosh, I don't think I've seen you here.

You're quite daring.

You know?

I'm an intern at Hana Daily. My name is Oh Ye Ji.

I see. Ye Ji.

- How old? - What?

I'm 26.

I'm 27.

Wait.

If you're caught peeking at our daily records,

there will be punishment.

- You'll hit me? - If you get caught reading this,

I'll get totally punished.

- Really? - Of course.

He'll get beaten up until his eyes fall out.

Right. He'll totally get a beating for it.

You bet.

You.

Are you the one who pooped in the toilet earlier?

- Poop? - I'm an intern at Hana Daily.

I'm Oh Ye Ji.

You were the one who pooped, right?

- Come on, Joon Young. - Gosh.

I'm eating here.

How can you talk about pooping as if it's nothing?

We met when she was pooping.

- So this is nothing. - My gosh.

- Did you poop? - No, I didn't.

- Why did you poop at our toilet? - I didn't.

You're embarrassing the lady over there. Stop talking about it.

You didn't hear it. When she was pooping,

- it was no joking. - Why would I listen to that?

- It went like this. - Come on.

- Come on, I'm eating jjajangmyeon. - Gosh.

Is it good?

Bong Soo, you should eat mine.

Yes, sir. This is the intern, Oh Ye Ji.

Ye Ji, this is Lee Jun Hee.

Hello, captain.

What about the incident with Oh Sung Min? Anything?

Well,

they are keeping it all hush-hush.

It's our job to get people to talk even when they don't want to.

I don't care what it is. Get me something.

Bye.

Don't you think you're being too hard on the intern?

Why do you say that? I guess I was very lenient on you guys.

No way.

Attention.

Recently, the petition to suspend Jo Pil Doo's confinement was denied.

For the special column, we'll go...

with Jo Pil Doo's case, not Oh Sung Min's. Okay?

- Yes, sir. - Okay.

Okay.

Hey, honey.

When are you coming home?

What? I'll be late tonight.

I know. So what time?

We're having a meeting for new scoops.

Do you even know that it's my birthday today?

You forgot, right?

- I'm sorry. - Gosh.

You're too honest for your own good.

I'll try to be home as soon as possible.

You're too good of a liar for your own good.

I mean it. I'll really come home early.

Call Mi Jin at least.

Don't give your daughter a hard time to prepare for my birthday.

I would like this cake.

- The one in the back? - Yes.

Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

A kitty cat.

It's so cute.

You're so cute. Should I take a photo?

Look here. Look over here.

Look here.

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

No, Mi Jin.

Mi Jin!

Sir. We released...

that article five years ago about Jo Pil Doo but didn't get anything.

Are we doing this again?

This time, he was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer.

He has dementia and late-stage lung cancer.

We can make a story if we get Seo Joon Young involved. Okay?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Who's Jo Pil Doo?

Do we already have a generation that doesn't know Jo Pil Doo?

She was 10 years old back then, so she might not know.

It must be like 20 years ago.

He was really huge back then.

He's a serial killer who killed seven girls.

No, he killed exactly eight people.

The detective in charge died during the arrest.

And the detective who passed away is...

Seo Joon Young's father, Detective Seo Dong Chul.

The tragic detective who passed away trying to arrest...

the Killer of Midnight.

Why is he called the Killer of Midnight?

That's what people called him before he was arrested.

He usually abducted and killed young girls who were going home,

and his murder method was terribly brutal.

Mom, I'm in front of the house right now. Is Dad home?

Goodness. I told him to call her.

(Mom)

She said she's nearby. Why won't she pick up?

(Mom)

Hello? Mi Jin.

Hello?

This... This is my daughter's phone.

Who are you?

It was dropped on a street.

On a street?

Where is it?

Jo Pil Doo usually buried his victims alive.

And all of their estimated time of death was around midnight.

If they were buried alive, how do we estimate the time of death?

He put their phones in the coffin when he buried them.

- Their phone? - Their phone?

It's his way of saying try to survive if you can.

He was pretending to be nice.

But the victims all went out of touch around midnight.

That's why he's called the Killer of Midnight.

- I'm in a meeting. - Honey, this is bad.

Mi Jin said she was nearby, so I called her.

But someone else picked up.

What are you talking about?

He picked up her phone on a street.

It sounds like he found it on the tree-lined street.

You know how scary it gets around that street at night.

What if something bad happened to her?

Goodness, don't say that. Nothing will happen.

Mi Jin is on the careless side.

She must have dropped it as she put her phone away.

How does Mr. Lee know so much about Jo Pil Doo?

He became a captain because of that. Of course, he knows.

He's not a reporter. He's practically a stalker.

A stalker?

Seo Joon Young is the same age as you.

He followed around that 10-year-old kid every day...

and created hype about how she's a poor orphan...

who lost her dad because of Jo Pil Doo.

Then other newspaper companies jumped in and created a ruckus.

- How would it feel? - Scary.

It's not just scary.

She probably wanted to die.

Honey, get the phone from him and go home.

I'm sure she came back.

Text me when you're home.

I'm in a meeting. I'll call you back later.

All right, where were we?

We were talking about the cell phones.

Okay.

Seo Dong Chul's daughter, Seo Joon Young.

- Yes? - Excuse me.

I'm the woman who called before.

I think I'm nearby.

(Kang Myung Soo)

Help me!

Dad!

I'm locked up in here!

Help me! Please help!

(Kang Myung Soo)

Help me!

(We thank Ye Soo Jung and Yang Hyun Min's guest appearance.)

(The Game: Towards Zero)

Hello? Please help me. Please save me.

Mi Jin. Mi Jin!

She'll die before midnight today.

Help her. I'll show you that we can change it.

One's fate cannot change. Please go back.

If you already know how the victim will die,

it means you're an accomplice.

- The culprit? - Let me question you officially...

regarding Mi Jin's case. Please cooperate.

You're good at lying, but you aren't that careful.

You're under arrest without a warrant for Lee Mi Jin's murder,

Mr. Kim.
