THE UNCANNY COUNTER

CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS

AND OCCUPATION ARE FICTITIOUS

Eat up.

Unwrap the hamburgers for them.

Man, that looks good. Eat up.

Eat up.

Isn't it good? Hey.

Remember the guy who came with a pretty girl and a kid?

Tell me where he lives. I'll get you anything.

I don't know.

-I've never seen him before. -Darn it!

Why would total strangers help you?

Dan-o…

Dan-bi, it's all right. It's okay.

Girls, do you live there alone?

You don't have a mom or a dad?

We have a dad.

Why aren't you with him?

Dan-bi, don't say anything. Don't tell them anything.

Do you want some real trouble?

It looks like…

your sister has no idea how scary I am.

Do you remember anything now?

He goes to my school.

Gosh, you fool.

Why do you trust me?

You do everything I tell you to do.

Drink up.

-Father. -Don't turn around, you punk!

Father.

Were you trying to kill me?

Cheong-sin.

Kill me if you can.

What are you waiting for?

Cheong-sin.

Don't kill me…

Cheong-sin…

Don't kill me.

Don't kill me!

86S6260

It's that guy. He killed Cheol-jung.

It's him.

You're that bitch.

There's no way he can see me.

It's you.

Mun, we have to get out of here.

This bastard is…

I'll remember your face

so I can find you

and tear you to shreds, bitch.

You son of a bitch!

Mun, no!

Mun, don't do that!

You must be that kid.

-Mun! -You!

Do you want to go grab some pork belly and soju?

Hey. It's not over yet.

Mun, you have to come back.

You have to come back!

Darn it.

Darn it.

We have to go!

Mun, no.

Come on out!

Let's go back in, Ha-na.

I had him. I can catch him!

He's a level three.

You would've died if you fought him.

-I can risk my life if I can catch him. -Lower your voice.

Your grandparents.

You can "risk your life"?

He called him Sin, right?

I heard the other asshole say, "Sin."

That's what he called him.

I'll make them regret…

that they let me live.

-Are we at the right place? -Yes, this is it.

Boss.

They're here.

-Those kids? -Yes.

-Go after them. -Yes, Boss.

Where are Ms. Chu and Mo-tak?

At the restaurant.

You can't even drink.

Stop it.

That little kid had such a rough life.

He only found out recently that his parents' death

wasn't just an accident.

Do you want some kimchi?

Mun.

An evil spirit has his parents.

How did you two find out?

We went into his past and saw it.

It's the guy who killed Cheol-jung.

What?

Are you sure?

Yes. It was a contract killing.

The target was his dad.

Wait, then what does this mean?

The evil spirit who has Cheol-jung is also holding on to Mun's parents.

I know what it means.

You went in there and saw that?

You saw your parents as they passed away?

My goodness.

Goodness, you poor thing.

Mun.

Let's catch him.

Let's make sure we catch him.

It's for the better.

I know who did it now.

Are you two done with each other?

Mun, we should talk. You must have a lot of questions.

You asked why I suddenly began to look into my past.

It's because of you.

RECENTS

SO GWON

Because of your dad.

Were you

investigating the Kim Yeong-nim case with him?

Were you two close?

I don't remember,

but the last person I called wasn't my mom

or my girlfriend.

It was your dad.

So I'm sure we weren't strangers.

RECENTS: SO GWON

I called this number,

and you picked up.

I've been using his number.

Sad news for your mom.

I had to let my grandma use her number.

You little punk.

I remember when you first walked into the restaurant.

Hello.

What? He's a high school kid?

Wait, why does this little punk seem so familiar?

You. Do you know me?

I knew you looked familiar.

I look a lot like my dad.

Do you?

Mo-tak.

My dad said

he'd see this to the end.

"To the end"?

Right before the accident,

an election update came on the radio.

Shin Myeong-hwi won the election for mayor…

He turned it off when he heard Shin Myeong-hwi was elected.

I'm…

going to see this to the end.

That's what my dad said.

Even though Shin had been elected…

he would keep going?

Yes, that's what I heard.

That cleared something up.

Jeong-yeong found something while she was investigating another case.

Kim Yeong-nim was a part of Shin Myeong-hwi's camp.

SHIN MYEONG HWI

And Kim Yeong-nim went missing

while the campaign was still ongoing.

SHIN MYEONG HWI

A NEW JUNGJIN FOR EVEYRONE

WE'LL BRING CHANGE WITH YOU!

An election is like a war.

If she was killed by an insider, they would've lost.

The race was very close, and he won by a few hundred votes.

When your dad and I

began to go after Kim Yeong-nim,

he probably got scared.

So he told Noh Hang-gyu to kill her?

But, you know,

I don't think what happened

seven years ago is over yet.

What do you mean?

SHIN MYEONG-HWI

This guy right here.

He was recently murdered.

Who is this?

The president of Shin's campaign club for his first and second terms.

Jeon Gi-hwan.

Campaign club president?

JUNGJIN'S CHOICE, SHIN MYEONG-HWI

And the one who killed him is the same guy

we tracked down in Suil-dong by using his foot tracks.

"Foot tracks"? Like footprints?

An evil spirit?

The suspect is an evil spirit?

-The evil spirit? -Yes.

Does that mean it was him?

Why didn't you say you were here?

Don't leave us out from something that important.

We have to catch him ASAP.

Man, that one found one amazing host.

A contract killer?

Are you on your way to see Detective Jeong-yeong?

Why?

Are you going to follow me?

May I?

Bring my shirt, punk.

I couldn't imagine anything like this

back when I drew the composite.

You aren't alone.

You're with us.

I won't forget.

Man, you little punk.

Come here.

-See you tomorrow. -Hey.

You killed my love!

Stop right there!

Get home safely.

This isn't possible.

I told you. Ga Mo-tak is alive. Man, it's unbelievable.

Hey, follow him.

Follow him.

KSFS: THE JOURNEY OF FORENSIC SCIENCE

REQUEST FOR ANALYSIS KIM JEONG-YEONG

MO-TAK

Hey, Mo-tak.

Jeong-yeong?

Why is she here?

Thanks to you, I got the suspect's face.

You did?

So how did you find his location?

That was pretty far from Suil-dong.

KIM JEONG-YEONG

SENDING PHOTO

By any chance, does he look like this?

MO-TAK

KIM JEONG-YEONG

It's him, that bastard.

Let's meet.

So Gwon, Ha Mun-yeong, Chairman Jeon Gi-hwan,

and the one who was killed on September 12th,

CEO Kwon Jin-seung.

So it was done by the same person, a contract killer?

I mean,

I'm sure they found his traces at the scene of Kwon Jin-seung's death.

Why can't you connect it to Jeon's case?

They're connected in a way.

The chief has been doing his best to cover up those cases.

Su-ryong is the chief, right?

Forget it.

I don't want to know.

For now,

let's find this jerk first.

I'll take another look at these cases. We might find another lead.

I'll call you.

You must be that kid.

You suddenly disappeared for a moment. Where were you?

I disappeared?

Yes, you disappeared with him.

And you had that wound when you came back.

Another place.

Where could it be?

It was daytime.

The accident broke out at night,

but it was broad daylight.

It's where he was.

I heard loud machines.

BAEKJO MOTORS

A junkyard.

It was a junkyard.

EONNI'S NOODLES

I located him.

Baekjo Motors?

I'll head there now.

A junkyard.

How did I miss that?

Relax.

You get muscle cramps if you get nervous.

He might get you if you run amok by yourself.

That asshole is awfully strong.

I've fought him, so I know that already.

Don't get hurt.

Just don't get hurt.

Who are they?

Just to be safe, stay right behind me.

Let me know if anything's weird.

The asshole left already.

What?

You're doing a search without a warrant?

We need to find out who he is and where he went.

You can leave if you're worried. We'll manage.

Where are these people from?

A noodle house.

What?

Didn't I tell you that I run a noodle house?

She's in charge of the kitchen,

she's the chief server,

and that kid in there is So Mun.

CAR SCRAP EXPERTS BAEKJO MOTORS

So Mun?

So Gwon and Ha Mun-yeong's son.

Mun seemed to remember you.

He's that kid?

No one's more disappointed

that we lost the guy than Mun.

61M9456

Aren't these illegal plates?

He'll switch license plates on the run.

It's a list of scrapped license plates.

It has logs from today.

FREIGHT CAR, SEIZED

Mo-tak.

He won't pick up.

BAEKJO MOTORS, JI CHEONG-SIN

CHEONG-SIN

Ji Cheong-sin.

That's his name.

It can't be used as evidence once your fingerprints get on it.

The doctor said it wouldn't be easy.

Your leg got better.

I'm glad.

That bastard killed another person.

It's time for you to leave.

This is now a murder scene.

Hello? This is Kim Jeong-yeong.

I need you to come to Baekjo Motors now.

What's going on?

There's the chief!

Why are there reporters?

Is this really a serial murder case?

The suspect is named Ji Cheong-sin. What's he like?

Is it true that the body belongs to the junkyard's CEO, Bae Sang-pil?

-Chief, just one word. -Chief!

Is it Bae Sang-pil?

You idiot.

Do you think it was Ji?

-Just one word, please. -Chief.

Can we get a comment?

-Show us! -Chief!

Show us the body!

Chief, you have no choice.

You need to get Ji Cheong-sin on the wanted list.

You punk.

We need you to cooperate.

-Look here! -Chief!

-Any comments? -Look here!

Move back.

APPROVAL RATING

The election was already against our favor,

and then Park Sang-hun had to go and duck out after the scandal.

It's troubling.

You became the representative during a tough time.

Mayor Shin, why don't you take the lead?

Join the race as a player for the presidential election.

Let's bring about a new sensation.

Will you give me your support?

You're the most loved local politician.

The citizens are behind you. Our people are waiting.

I do pretty good work in office.

I like how outspoken you are.

-Here. -Yes, sir.

Anyway, Mayor Shin.

I heard something inconvenient

regarding your personal affairs.

I'm aware of the trouble surrounding the redevelopment.

You know these rumors always follow politicians who stand out.

The first and second were too successful.

You need to distance yourself from Taesin Group.

If you serve too long locally,

you'll unknowingly catch these development companies right behind you.

Please excuse me.

CHIEF CHOI SU-RYONG

Mr. Bae Sang-pil died.

Ji Cheong-sin will be on the wanted list very soon.

I'll fill you in on the details in person.

I'll remember that.

SONGJU POLICE STATION

WRITTEN STATEMENT

NAME: SONG MAN-HO

SONGJU POLICE STATION

Tell them to bring the evidence.

I never went to use the restroom.

And I have no idea who this…

HAN SEUNG-WOO

…Han Seung-woo is.

How can I know every single employee by name?

Mr. Song, allow me to do the talking.

He keeps saying I killed him!

Darn it.

My life is about to end

for hiring the wrong guy.

Mr. Song, please calm down.

Please talk to me, his attorney.

-Come again. -Sure.

CEO Song Man-ho of Dajeong Construction Firm

was cleared as a suspect for murdering an employee and released.

Song Man-ho?

-He's coming out. -There he is!

Are you innocent?

-No need to answer. -Why kill him?

Say something.

-Let's go. -Please say something.

Stop it.

Were you really not involved in Han's death?

I did not kill him!

It's so unfair.

Shouldn't I be compensated for the drop in our stock prices?

I am innocent.

I do not have anything on my conscience.

Bring my son back!

-Are you okay? -Bring him back!

Bring Seung-woo back!

-You're bleeding. -Bring him back!

-You threw a rock? How dare you! -Sir!

-Sir! -Let me go. Let go of me!

Let me go! I'm going to sue him!

Songju Police Station had him detained,

but they could not find the weapon within the allotted 48 hours.

-You jerk! -Let me go!

How dare you throw a rock at me?

-Seung-woo… -You jerk!

Hey, kid.

Your dad failed to run a business.

CEO SONG MAN-HO

Uncle Man-ho didn't steal your dad's business.

I'm not here because of that.

Then why are you here?

To borrow money for living expenses.

Please help our family.

Goodness, kid!

You're here to borrow money.

Why would I give you anything if you stand there

like you're a creditor?

How much?

How much do you need?

Here.

I tried to grab 50,000, but that's 20,000.

Take it.

Goodness, he beat an employee to death.

And he can get off because he's rich?

The dead guy was only 26 years old.

-Ha-na. -He was 26?

Exactly.

Unbelievable. That poor kid.

He's not even human.

-Ha-na. -Song stated that…

-Ms. Chu, I got it. -he plans to hold

the Songju Police Station responsible for the drop

-in their stock price. -What's wrong?

A police official stated that they will continue to investigate

to expose the truth behind the unfair death

of this young man until the end.

You idiot.

Moron!

You asshole. Did you see me do it?

Did you see me kill Han Seung-woo?

I'm sorry.

You can rest assured

that your identity will not be revealed, Mr. Yoo Yeong-jae.

TWO DAYS EARLIER

Hey.

Who left this here?

Who was it?

You idiot.

Report to me right away when you get a call.

You just left a note?

-You little… -Mr. Song, you should stop.

Let go.

Seung-woo.

Are you in here?

Seung-woo…

When I walked into the restroom,

Seung-woo was…

already dead.

You thought I wouldn't know?

-I'm sorry. -You're sorry?

Kneel down, you asshole!

I'm going to skin you alive.

I'm sorry, Mr. Song! I'm sorry!

-Let me go. Let go! -Sir.

Please. I'm… I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

-I know everything no matter where you are -Sorry.

and what you're up to.

Run to the police just one more time and tell them more nonsense,

and see what happens to your sister.

I'm sorry.

Damn it.

Take it.

Hey.

Behave, okay?

You better behave.

There, there.

-Come here. -My gosh.

I'm fine.

Wake up.

-You have to go home. -I'm fine.

Hey.

I choked him with this thing.

It felt so good.

HAN SEUNG-WOO

This is a present for you.

Kids these days love this more than a necklace.

JUNGJIN POLICE STATION

CITIZENS IN FEAR, JUNGJIN'S ENDLESS MURDER CASES

Come in.

What is it?

I thought you should see this.

CHIEF CHOI SU-RYONG

DNA ANALYSIS REPORT

Jeong-yeong made a request to the NFS.

DECEASED, KIM YEONG-NIM

Who's Kim Yeong-nim?

None of your business. How's Chairman Jeon's case coming along?

As smoothly as you ordered.

Wrap it up quickly.

Yes, sir. I'll wrap it up in a flash.

RELATED PERSON: KIM YEONG-NIM

DISAPPEARANCE, SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2013

That detective bitch is a nutcase too.

Try to lose her first.

Don't mess with the police.

Chief Choi won't cooperate if we lay a finger on his subordinates again.

CEO NOH HANG-GYU

What's he going to do?

We're holding him by a number of leashes, so we can always keep him under control.

Go get Ga Mo-tak for now.

And bring him here?

Where do you think we are? Why would you bring him here?

If only you weren't my brother…

Keep him in your warehouse.

I need to see him

take his last breath with my own two eyes.

TAESIN GROUP

And do it right.

If the reservoir gets exposed,

you can forget the third ICT redevelopment

and his presidency.

His presidency?

Mayor Shin will be president?

Of course.

Do you think we're doing all this work only to get Jungjin?

Are we going to the Blue House?

Damn, what's with my heart? It's racing.

EONNI'S NOODLES

Am I a private detective agency to you now?

Making me run background checks?

You shouldn't do this!

They've been reading people's minds using their powers as Counters,

and I got anxious.

They'll be excommunicated as soon as Yung finds out.

I can't believe their nerves.

I know it's just a cup of coffee, but try to have some class.

That's what life's about.

Just take what you get, okay?

Great work.

Those brothers lived very dirty lives,

even for kids whose parents died early

and who didn't have good circumstances.

I can't believe this.

How did someone with 11 previous convictions

become Taesin's executive director?

They found a successful lord.

It's Cho Tae-sin.

Cho Tae-sin, this guy. He's unbelievable.

-He was a dealer. -A drug dealer?

Yes, then he cleaned up everything,

made himself presentable, and came out into the world.

Then Cho Tae-sin took over a construction firm,

and Noh Hang-gyu found a goods and services company.

Then the next year, all of a sudden,

Jungjin was overtaken with a redevelopment craze.

-All of a sudden? -All of a sudden.

Fishy, isn't it?

They have someone in their hands.

Who?

Shin Myeong-hwi.

Yes, that's right.

Shin Myeong-hwi was the head of this borough back then.

The puzzle is coming together, right?

They made up Taesin Group as a front,

but they've been operating 11 more companies

with a puppet boss, just as he did while dealing drugs.

These have to be paper companies that launder money to create slush funds.

There was an article on this back in 2014.

The prosecution began to investigate Taesin's slush fund,

but the article and the case both got deleted very quickly.

They got their hands on the prosecution too?

The prosecutor in charge of the investigation was

seen on TV as Song's attorney.

He's a part of Taesin's legal team.

How do you know that?

Song Man-ho's company, Dajeong Construction Firm…

belonged to my dad before.

All these companies were taken away from their owners, like my dad.

They dry up funding by stopping their subcontractors,

then lend them money.

That had to come from Noh Hang-gyu, then. Isn't that right?

A day after the repayment date, they sue the CEO for fraud,

take over, and put jerks like him in charge.

My goodness.

And that happened to your family?

Who's blocking the sunlight like this?

That's the true nature of Taesin Group, one of the top 50 groups in Korea.

How does it make any sense that they rank three spots higher than my company?

Who's the asshole that stabbed Mo-tak?

The boss.

Mo-tak, let me see your wound.

Right here, right here,

-and here, then right here… -Enough.

DAJEONG ENC

Mr. Ga Mo-tak.

There's a lot of you.

Mr. Ga Mo-tak, I need to see you.

Damn it, that bitch.

-Hey! -What happened?

-What's going on? -Damn.

-Whoa. -What's she doing?

You jerk. Do you think it's fun to kill people?

You freaking…

Wait. Wait a second.

Hey, do you want me to crush all 206 bones in your body?

How dare you show up here?

Hey, lady. Do you want to die?

Kid, listen to the lady and get lost.

You're pretty brazen for someone who ruined Mo-tak's life.

You even took away his parents.

How dare you show up to take more from them?

-Whoa. -Boss!

-Darn it. -Boss.

Hey, Boss.

-Let's go. -What happened?

It'll take forever to erase their memories.

Don't.

They saw everything.

They're like cockroaches.

They'll keep coming back.

What did you call us? Cockroaches?

You're that asshole who stabbed me to kill me,

yet that sounds humiliating to you?

If you show up here again,

I'll pull out your tongue and wrap it around your neck.

You know how crazy people can be when they lose their living, don't you?

You still don't get it?

I'm not who I was seven years ago, you asshole.

You can't stab me with a toy like this.

Ouch, that hurts.

That hurts.

His presidency? Mayor Shin will be president?

Think we're doing all of this only to get Jungjin?

Are we going to the Blue House?

The presidency?

Are you kidding me?

What are you doing, jerk?

-Let me go. -Boss.

Move aside. Move!

I haven't even started.

-Boss! -Let me go.

-Let's go. -Darn you.

We'll be back. You better be ready.

Watch it, okay? Be good.

You just stood there?

You stood there watching while I got beaten up?

They broke those knives in half. What can I do?

And that gives you a reason to stand there?

Is he really a human being?

Darn it.

What if Ga Mo-tak ends up ruining our plan?

Darn it. Damn it.

What's wrong?

The presidency.

The presidency.

It's completely absurd,

but not impossible.

He has the highest approval ratings.

People have no idea Shin Myeong-hwi has been doing dirty work

behind people's backs.

We have to expose this. This is absurd.

What's the reservoir?

They said they have to kill me

because of the reservoir.

Go get Ga Mo-tak for now.

If the reservoir gets exposed,

you can forget the third ICT redevelopment and his presidency.

Once the reservoir is exposed,

his presidency and the third ICT redevelopment contract will be gone.

-The reservoir? -Yes.

Is that where Kim's body is?

Her dead body?

RESERVOIR, 3795D123 61 R33L1

RESERVOIR, 3795D123 61 R33L1

Is there a reservoir in Jungjin?

Mo-tak.

I saw "reservoir" in my dad's notebook.

Right here. "Reservoir" and some numbers.

The reservoir?

What could it be?

RESERVOIR, 3795D123 61 R33L1

Ji Cheong-sin took the book.

Damn it!

We have Jungjin in our hands, and we're about to take Korea.

How can you ruin it like this?

Before that…

It looks like Ga Mo-tak is getting ready to begin something.

What is this?

He got a blood sample of the suspect…

in Kim Yeong-nim's murder.

What?

I stopped the NFS from doing the analysis

and told them to burn the sample.

What now? We won't get caught for what we did to Kim Yeong-nim?

No.

You idiot.

You said that he died. What's going on?

-I'm sorry. -Damn you!

Tae-sin.

I'm sorry.

Jae-cheol, where are you?

Where's Ji Cheong-sin?

He's on the wanted list.

The media is onto us, so I had no other choice.

Why did Sang-pil sit on his hands when I told him to get rid of him,

only to get himself killed?

Let the media blow it up.

Pardon?

Ji Cheong-sin the serial murderer.

Have them blow this up.

The more people get scared, the better.

He must be caught ASAP.

But he can't be alive.

Have him killed.

Yes, sir.

Lieutenants So Gwon and Ha Mun-yeong.

CEO Kwon Jin-seung of Love Jungjin.

Chairman Jeon Gi-hwan.

And Ji Cheong-sin, a hit man.

If they were killed by a hit man,

there must be a connection between their deaths.

Who and why did someone tell Ji Cheong-sin to kill them?

CCTV footage showing the suspect in a murder that occurred

on the 15th in a junkyard in Jungjin has been released.

The suspect, who was an employee at the junkyard,

allegedly killed Bae, the junkyard's owner,

stole money out of a safe, and fled the scene.

Bae had a gunshot wound to the head,

and his disfigured body was found in a crushed vehicle.

The gunshot wound was determined as the cause of death.

Man, that jerk looks awfully wicked.

That'll be 9,000 won.

How much?

Police have vowed to wrap up the case.

If you see the man in this footage,

please call 911 or contact the Jungjin Police Station directly.

That'll be 9,000 won.

Next story.

Hey, open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door. Hey!

Open this.

Whoa, it's open.

Don't you want to do business?

That asshole is one of us too.

Do your job right. You get paid to do this.

See you around.

What was that?

Warm up my fish cake bar too.

You surprised me.

Don't go around with these in your ears.

Ji Cheong-sin saw you, and he probably saw your name.

I know.

Be careful.

You be careful too.

And keep this with you.

Ha-na.

I'm waiting for that jerk to show up.

Don't be so rash.

TARGET

Yes, Boss. All finished.

Yes.

Where is it?

Songwon, right next to Jungjin.

Songwon used to be a part of Jungjin,

but they broke away in 2013.

There's a reservoir there.

So this is where they buried Kim Yeong-nim's dead body.

-Whoa. -What's going on?

What's with him?

My gosh.

We stepped on one.

Is it Ji Cheong-sin?

No.

You're completely worthless.

-My uncle. -Your uncle?

Man, look at this guy.

What's the level?

Level two.

Please… Please spare my life.

A person. A person is about to die.

Damn it.

Just said goodbye to all of them.

THE UNCANNY COUNTER

Well, it's not bulletproof though.

Can you prove that they hired hit men to kill Mun's parents?

How will you prove it?

We will find evidence.

Today, the City of Jungjin declares war against violent crimes.

Back off, you little shit!

We will not let this murderer threaten the peace

and security of our city, Jungjin.

-Song Man-ho! -Is that you, Ha-na?

Don't call my name.
