It's tough to track the phone at the moment,

and Kang Jae is tracking down the suspect's car.

The entire country is...

covered with security cameras unlike 20 years ago.

Do you think he's still in Seoul?

He abducted her and buried her in just two hours.

Even if he made a thorough plan to execute this,

there's still not enough time to leave Seoul.

Don't you think it's a little tough to bury her...

within such a short time?

It's possible if it's an abandoned factory...

that stopped its construction.

Among Jo Pil Doo's cases, the 1st, 2nd, and the last one, 7th,

all broke out in an abandoned factory.

I'm sure the culprit looked for a place...

with the least security where he can copy his crime method.

Then let's search abandoned factories and construction sites.

It won't be that easy to find a list of such places at this hour.

My uncle works for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

I'll ask him and look for one.

Okay, good. Bong Soo, look for a list...

and share it with the team.

Joon Young, contact all the police squads for backup.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Chief Nam, the victim's mother will be here soon.

What should we do? Should we send her back?

No, let her stay.

Yes, sir.

I heard you've reached my daughter.

Is she okay?

Let's go inside and talk.

- What are you doing? - What?

Come on. Go.

One minute.

What are you doing?

Gosh.

- Give me a minute. - Goodness.

Sir.

Sir.

- Ye Ji. - Yes?

Did you get kicked out?

Yes.

Darn it.

I think this is the victim's mother.

I took it in a hurry, so it's not that clear.

Where's her face?

Send this in.

Well, that was quick.

Please open the door!

- Please open the door! - Please open!

You guys are late.

We heard there was an emergency call.

What is going on?

What do you think? They saw our article and came here.

Send me a copy.

- Okay. - Please let us in.

- Be careful. - Please open the door.

- Please open the door. - Tell us about that call.

My daughter is buried alive?

Ma'am.

I know you're in shock,

but you have to stay strong.

You must comfort her so that she can hang in there.

In order to do that, you must talk more than she does.

Today is my mom's birthday.

I can't die on her birthday.

If I do,

it'll be terrible for her.

If I don't get out of here alive,

please tell her I'm sorry.

Could you tell her that I'm really sorry?

This call is being recorded, right?

Could you send this file to her so that she could hear my voice...

for the last time?

Tell her that I love her so much...

and that I'm sorry.

Don't cry, Mi Jin.

Mom?

- Mom! - Yes, Mom is here.

Mom!

Mom, I'm sorry!

I'm really sorry!

- Don't be ridiculous. - I'm sorry!

Yes?

Did you find the suspect's car?

- No, not yet. - Hurry.

We're running out of time.

- I will. - I'm sorry.

- Mi Jin, the police... - I'm sorry, Mom...

will rescue you soon.

So let's keep talking, okay?

Mom...

Did you track the victim?

Please let us in!

Did you track the victim?

What's going on?

Please open the door!

Please answer us!

Please check for us!

Where is the victim?

- Joon Young. - Please give us a minute!

Who is the victim?

How did they already find out?

I think it's that intern.

And the factories?

There are 23 of them in Seoul.

There are too many.

We won't be able to locate her in the given time.

You're right.

Gosh, how does Kim Tae Pyung think we'll be able to find her?

He should've given us a clearer hint.

Text me a photo of Mi Jin.

- What? - I'll be back soon.

What are you going to do?

- Did you check your areas? - Yes, sir.

I know it'll be difficult to locate, but look at your list...

and search thoroughly. Got it?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Go.

- Sir. - Go.

A case with a similar MO to that of Jo Pil Doo,

a serial killer from 20 years ago, has occurred.

I'm currently at Seoul Joongang Police Station.

The victim was a 17-year-old female who was kidnapped...

around 7pm today.

- Stay here and be on a lookout. - They're leaving!

- Let's go! - Go!

The victim is waiting to be rescued.

The police are on the move right now.

I believe the victim's location has been found.

The police are doing their best to find the victim.

However, some people are worried that this copycat...

of Jo Pil Doo, also known as the Killer of Midnight,

may bring about more victims.

Moreover, it has been revealed...

that the detective in charge of this case is Seo Joon Young,

the daughter of the late Seo Dong Chul...

who was killed by Jo Pil Doo 20 years ago.

Because of this, people are showing more interest in this case.

It seems like you have a more serious case...

than this Oh Sung Min case.

It's fine.

I'm sorry you have to work overtime because of this autopsy.

Did you kill him?

Don't be sorry.

By the way, how did you know that he died of a heart attack?

Did he really?

Yes.

Kim Tae Pyung must really have a superpower.

Kim Tae Pyung?

There's this man.

Anyway, thank you for helping us.

This is my job.

I truly hope Det. Seo finds that girl.

- Who? - The girl from the news.

If she dies,

I'll have another autopsy to do.

Right. I'll let her know.

Thank you.

Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim.

I didn't know you'd come here at this hour.

Have you still not found her?

No.

That's why we need your help.

You told me that I'd find her.

You said she'd die despite my giving her CPR.

That means she'll be alive until then.

If I'm 5 minutes... No. If I'm 1 minute early,

we can change...

that foresight.

My foresight has never been wrong.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

I'll show you that it can change.

Didn't you follow her because you were worried?

If we're desperate enough...

Do you think I was never desperate?

Fate doesn't change.

You should go.

Then at least help me find her body.

You're the only one who foresaw her death...

and knows how to find her.

And I'll do everything in my power to change that foresight of yours.

So please help me.

Help me find out exactly where she is.

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

- Hold her. - No, Mi Jin. Wake up.

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin! Mommy's here!

I'm here!

- Mi Jin, I'm here. - Mi Jin.

Your mother is here too. Please.

Please wake up. Mi Jin, please?

(12:00am, October 16, Wednesday)

October 16...

It said...

(Can Manufacturing Unit 8)

(12:00am, October 16, Wednesday)

I heard the sound of a train.

A train?

Yes. What about the suspect's vehicle? Did you find it?

Yes. The plate number is 3625.

I confirmed that it is indeed a one-ton truck.

I found circumstantial evidence on the tires...

that the truck was at the crime scene.

I was able to identify the suspect,

so I'm at the suspect's house.

Okay. Secure the suspect first...

and check the dashcam footage.

Yes, sir.

Did he find the suspect?

Who are you?

- Who are you? - What are you doing?

I'm the owner of this truck.

What are you doing at my truck?

- Are you Kim Dong Woo? - What?

I'm Yun Kang Jae...

from Crime Division One of Seoul Joongang Police Station.

Are you Kim Dong Woo?

Yes.

Where did you bury the girl?

- Where? - What?

You abducted her. Where did you bury her?

Why are you asking me that?

You abducted her and buried her in a coffin.

Since you heard a train sound,

we'll follow the subway tracks above ground.

Right here. What about here?

This is too far.

It sounded like the train was very close.

- What about here? - I don't think so.

Where else is there a subway track?

Line One.

Right here. What about here?

Bongnae-dong, Jung-gu.

Yunggeon Electricity.

Come with me. If I go now, I'll get there in time.

- Sorry. - Sorry won't cut it.

You accused an innocent person.

- I'm sorry. - Hey, you.

Team Leader Han, it's me.

- Tell me what happened. - I checked his house and truck.

I don't think he's the suspect.

He's the owner of the cellphone Mi Jin has.

What? The cellphone?

There's a call record he talked to Mi Jin.

So I looked into it.

Around the time he pointed out,

the last call was tracked to Bongnae-dong.

Wait.

Check if there's a factory in Bongnae-dong on the list.

Just let me see.

- Move back. - Is this the place?

- Let us pass through. - I found it.

There's one at street number 1,624 in Bongnae-dong.

It belongs to Yunggeon Electricity.

It's been seven years since they stopped building it.

- Everyone, let's move. - We're moving.

- Let's move. - Bring him to the station...

and get his statement. Let's go.

Everyone, listen up.

It's been confirmed that the victim is...

at Yunggeon Electricity in Bongnae-dong, Jung-gu.

Everyone. Head to the factory immediately.

(Information of the Cases)

Let me repeat.

It's been confirmed that the victim is...

at Yunggeon Electricity in Bongnae-dong, Jung-gu.

Everyone. Head to the factory immediately.

It's been confirmed the victim is...

at Yunggeon Electricity in Bongnae-dong.

Requesting backup immediately to Yunggeon Electricity.

Let me repeat. It's been confirmed the victim is...

at Yunggeon Electricity in Bongnae-dong.

Requesting backup immediately to Yunggeon Electricity.

Mi Jin, the detectives found...

where you are and they are on their way.

So hang in there a little more. Okay?

Mi Jin.

Mi Jin?

Mi Jin.

- Mi Jin. - Hello. Mi Jin.

- Mi Jin. - Hello?

- Mi Jin. - Mi Jin.

- Mi Jin. - Mi Jin.

- Mi Jin. Talk to me. - Call an ambulance.

Mi Jin, answer me.

This is Seoul Joongang Police Station.

Go to Yunggeon Electricity in Bongnae-dong immediately.

- Yes? - The girl is unconscious.

- Hurry. - Yes, sir.

Hurry.

Please go faster.

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

This is breaking news. It's been confirmed that the victim...

of the copycat crime of Jo Pil Doo which took place around 7pm is...

buried at the construction site...

of Yunggeon Electricity in Bongnae-dong.

- I should've stopped him... - The victim...

- from going. - hasn't been identified yet.

What if they ask help every time?

- Tie him up. - What?

If you want to stop him from going, you have no other choice.

That's the only way.

- I wasn't joking. - My point, exactly.

Do you think I'm joking?

Is there a reason?

Why he can't see her death?

You know why, don't you?

Mi Jin!

(Korea is always on air.)

- Please move back. - Let us through.

The police recognized the similarity of the Killer of Midnight,

Jo Pil Doo's MO for serial murders which took place 20 years ago.

The police announced that they are using all of their resources...

to identify the suspect.

On the scene, the detectives from the Crime Division One...

YBS is running the breaking news. Do we have anything on the victim?

Mi Jin.

Sir, I think she completely lost her consciousness.

(Yoo Ji Won, Lee Jun Hee)

"Lee Jun Hee"?

(Chief Nam Woo Hyun)

Mi Jin!

- Sir! - Yes!

- Come here! - Hurry up.

- Over here! - Look through!

- Mi Jin! - Look over here too.

Look over here.

Hurry up, everyone!

- Mi Jin! - Find her!

- Mi Jin! - Hurry up!

(Can Manufacturing Unit 8)

No, Mi Jin. Wake up.

Mi Jin!

No, Mi Jin.

Over here!

Hey, over there.

Dig!

Hey, start digging!

Hurry up! Dig it up!

Hurry up!

Goodness! There's something here.

- What? - What's that?

Hurry up!

Keep going on.

It's a board.

Mi Jin. Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

- And 3. - And 3.

Hold her.

Bring her here.

No, Mi Jin. Wake up.

Mi Jin!

Intern Oh Ye Ji reporting.

The victim's mother is on the move, so I'm following her.

I think she's headed to the place where she's buried.

Who's the victim?

- Not yet. - Darn it.

Okay. Keep her mom in the picture and send it over.

Yes, this is Lee Jun Hee.

It has been a while, Mr. Lee.

Detective Nam Woo Hyun?

It has been 20 years.

Yes, you're right.

- Reporter Lee. - But you know,

I'm not just a low man in this industry anymore,

yet you still call me "Reporter Lee".

If you're angry about Seo Joon Young,

then hold your horses.

I'm very sorry that I have to tell you this, but...

No, don't be sorry.

You don't have to let me know. We'll find the victim soon.

The victim is your daughter.

What?

What are you talking about?

Lee Mi Jin.

It's your daughter.

Your wife kept calling you, but she said you wouldn't pick up.

I'm sure you were busy.

Reporting is all about speed.

(Call history)

But if I were you,

I would go to the crime scene immediately.

Honey, you must be busy.

But it looks like something happened to Mi Jin.

What if it's something bad?

Mi Jin!

They got a call from Mi Jin. I'm going to the police station.

Honey, will you please pick up?

Mi Jin.

Mi Jin! Mommy's here!

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

I'm scared to death.

What if...

What if Mi Jin dies?

Mi Jin! Mommy's here!

I'm the mother! Mi Jin is in there!

Mi Jin! Mommy's here!

- Mi Jin. Mi Jin! - Ma'am, please.

("The Police Rescuing the Victim, Mother on Site")

Mi Jin!

("The Police Rescuing the Victim, Mother on Site")

I'm the mother! Mi Jin is in there!

Mi Jin! Mommy's here!

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin! Mi Jin!

Mi Jin, wake up! Mi Jin.

- Is the victim alive? - How is she?

- Is she okay? - What's going on?

What's going on?

Mi Jin...

Mi Jin! Mommy's here!

Mi Jin.

Your mother is here too. Please.

Please wake up. Mi Jin, please.

Mi Jin. Mi Jin!

(11:59pm, October 15, Tuesday)

(12:00am, October 16, Wednesday)

Move aside.

- Move. - What's going on?

Please. Mi Jin.

Please.

Mi Jin. Mi Jin?

Please open your eyes.

Taxi!

Please.

- One second, move aside. - Joon Young.

- Move aside. - No, I can save her. I have to.

- Joon Young. - Mi Jin!

- Move aside. - Mi Jin. Mi Jin!

Mi Jin...

She's not breathing.

Should we preserve the scene?

Wait.

She's breathing. She's alive.

Mi Jin. Mi Jin! Mi Jin, wake up.

Mi Jin. Mi Jin!

Yes.

It's all right.

Mi Jin. Mi Jin, wake up.

Are you all right?

She woke up!

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

- Mi Jin! I'm here. - Over here.

Mi Jin! No...

Mi Jin. Mi Jin, Mom is here.

I'm here. It's all right now.

It's okay. It's all right.

It's a miracle.

It's okay. I'm here.

All right.

Thank you so much, Detective.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Let's move her.

Until that day,

I thought fate couldn't be changed.

For the first time,

my prediction changed.

For the first time,

I met someone whose death I couldn't see.

For the first time,

my heart raced...

because of someone.

(The Game: Towards Zero)

There's someone I keep wanting to see. Please help.

If I can't stop you,

I'll have to show you...

why it cannot be done.

I have to see Mi Jin's picture again.

She's in danger.

I'm Goo Do Kyung.

You must be Detective Seo Joon Young.

He's the culprit?

So what does he get from this anyway?

A serial killer doesn't kill to get something.

He wasn't the culprit.

Why do you think I'm doing this?

Tell me.

You would know because you saw my eyes.
