(May 2000,
Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)

I'm a new statistics analyst
who just got transferred here.

Where is the office
for the Behavioral Analysis Team?

The Behavioral Analysis Team?
I'm not sure where that is.

Have you heard of that team?

No, I have never heard of it.
We had a team like that?

Same here.

Is it new?

- It's my first time hearing it.
- We don't know where it is.

The Behavioral Analysis Team?
What do people do there?

(Behavioral Analysis Team)

(Authorized personnel only)

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hello.
- Who are you?

I'm a statistics analyst.
I was transferred here as of today.

My name is Jung Woo Ju.

- I see. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.

- See you later.
- Okay.

(No smoking, power)

Okay.

(Changeui Substation)

As you can see,
we already filed your child missing.

If we hear anything about Soo Hyun,

we will call you right away.

Staying here won't help the case.

So you should go back home.

But it's been over a week already.

You don't think my daughter...

- could have been...
- No.

Don't say that.

A lot of children get lost
and stay at a shelter.

Then they call us.

So don't worry too much.
Let's give it some time.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- We'll wait for your call.
- Sure. Bye.

Dad.

When is Soo Hyun coming back?

She'll be home soon.

Gosh. We're going to a prison
on a gorgeous day like today?

Should we play hooky today?

Today is our first meeting.

I was just joking.

Don't be so serious.

Goodness. This is nice.

(Establish law and order)

Inmate 3429. You have visitors.

(Crime Scene Photos)

Hey, how come we only have
outdated items in the inventory?

Does this thing even work? Does it?

Goodness. It works.

First of all, don't be nervous.

We'll call you once we're done.

Take a seat.

(Jang Deuk Ho, dismembered
his lover in Bugyeong-dong)

(Jang Deuk Ho, dismembered
his lover in Bugyeong-dong)

I'm Song Ha Young,
a criminal behavioral analyst...

of the Behavioral Analysis Team...

at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

I'm the captain
of the Behavioral Analysis Team.

I'm Kook Young Soo.

Is this a joke?

We are police officers who study
the psychology of criminals.

You're just cops.

Why are you giving me a complicated title?

We came here today because
we want to know why...

you committed such a crime six years ago.

You barge in here...

because you want to know
what happened six years ago?

As I told you,

it's to study the psychology of criminals.

What's in it for me?

None.

At least give me some cigarettes.

Let me say this again.
You will get any benefits.

Why would I tell you...

what happened six years ago again...

if I'm not getting anything in return?

We're just trying to put together
the wrong answers for data.

Wrong answers.
I haven't heard that for a while.

I used to make my students
put together the notes after exams.

You mean when you were a teacher
at Bugyeong Elementary School?

You already know everything.
What else do you want to know?

We have your case file.

But we're interested in your thoughts.

Right. We can't find them
in your case file.

I thought it would be fun to meet cops.

But it's no fun.

Officer! We're done here.

Six years ago,
you cut your lover, Lee Geum Ju,

into 23 body parts.

You don't know everything, I guess.

It's 24 pieces.

It says 23 on the case file.

Arms and legs...

Cut them off and divide them into two.
How many do you have?

There are nine.

You can't do math.

Then you cut her neck,
pulled out her eyeballs,

cut her nose and ears,
split her lips into two,

and cut off two breasts,
thumbs, and big toes.

That adds up to 23.

You forgot one.

(Crime Scene Photos)

(Keep quiet)

Did you cut off her tongue?

She talked too much.

You see, I...

She was dead, for sure.
But she wouldn't stop talking.

That witch kept on talking,
so I bit it off. Like this.

Then it was better.

Do you have gum? Can I have a piece?

You chewed it off?

Her tongue?

Why?

We should wrap this up here today.

I need to use the bathroom.

We'll wait.
It hasn't even been ten minutes yet.

Desperate ones
are bound to take initiative.

Let me make the call
so I'd want to talk to you.

Don't you prefer this
over being locked up in your cell?

Officer!

(Establish law and order)

(Cheongsong Penitentiary)

- Can you open the door?
- Oh, sorry.

Oh, boy.

Do you go to church?

I'm Catholic, but I haven't been
to church for a long time.

Ever since I got this job,

I've been struggling to believe
in the all-powerful creator.

It's better than believing in humans.

If doomsday were to come,

scumbags like Jang Deuk Ho
would be wiped out, right?

(Sauna)

I totally forgot about the newbie.

Darn it.

Where's this sound coming from?

Behavioral Analysis Team.
Jung Woo Ju speaking.

My gosh, you're still there?

Who is this?

This is Captain Kook Young Soo.

Yes, Captain.

You should've just gone home.

You said you wanted to meet with me.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I was running around all day, so I forgot.

Just go home. We'll talk tomorrow.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Hey, I totally forgot
to look after the newbie.

Hey, wait up.

Goodness. You're always so predictable.

Thank you.

(Sauna)

I'm starving. Let's go eat something.

I don't feel like eating.
I'll just head home.

You should still eat something.

Come on.
I don't want to eat alone at home.

Your family must be waiting for you.

You didn't know?
I've been living alone since last year.

No, it's not what you're thinking.

My wife and kids are abroad now.

- They're abroad?
- Yes.

What was the program called?

Anyway, a school in Singapore
offered a scholarship,

so I sent them there.

Your kids must be smart.

Yes, thankfully. They take after my wife.

Oh, boy.

Anyway, this job is
always so unstable, you know.

It sounded like a good opportunity,
so I sent them.

But living alone is awful.

Everyone says they're jealous,
but they have no idea.

The freedom was nice for a month,
but that was it.

Where should I drop you off?

Just any restaurant on the way.

I should grab a bite to eat
before the restaurants close.

(Changeui-dong, May 2000)

(Through the Darkness, Episode 3)

- Did something happen?
- Yes.

- My gosh.
- What happened?

- What?
- Is it a kid?

- It's a little kid.
- My gosh.

- This is insane.
- Gosh.

My goodness.

- Go on in.
- Yes, sir.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello, sir.

Where is Captain Yoon?

She's on the phone with the chief
of the Forensics Squad.

She'll be here shortly.

Hello.

(Child Dismemberment and Murder
in Changeui-dong)

(Inspector Yoon Tae Gu, Captain of Team 2,
Special Crime Squad 1)

I will begin the briefing.

(Time of incident,
Where body parts were found)

At around 13:20 today,

parts of the victim's body were found...

by Lee Chun Young,
a 72-year-old junk collector,

in the alleyway at 94 Changeui-dong.

The news spread quickly because of
a reporter who lives in the area,

so it's already stirring up
a lot of anger nationwide.

The case was transferred
to the Special Crime Squad at 17:00.

What about the rest of the body?

So far, we only found the limbs
cut up into eight pieces.

They were placed
in three different plastic bags.

We are thoroughly searching the area
to find the rest of the body.

Have we identified the victim yet?

A five-year-old girl, Lee Soo Hyun,

was reported missing
in Changeui-dong on the 20th,

so we're looking into it now.

Goodness.

- This is crazy.
- Search thoroughly!

There is so much junk here. Darn it.

Detective!

Soo Hyun... Did you find Soo Hyun?

She was found dead in Changeui-dong.

Are you sure it's Soo Hyun?

No, that can't be.

- No...
- No way.

- My gosh.
- Are you all right, ma'am?

No! That can't be!

It's not Soo Hyun. This can't be true!

Oh, dear...

(Restricted Area)

Early this morning,
the police found a head and a torso,

which are suspected to belong
to the child found dead...

in Changeui-dong.

They are trying
to identify the victim now.

Yesterday afternoon,
the arms and legs were found...

cut up into pieces.

The police have requested a DNA test
from the National Forensic Service.

(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency,
Press Room)

Can you ask them for a briefing
on the case?

Give us some time, will you?

You're here.

Hey, I know that you're new here,
but you're still a journalist.

You can't sit at your desk all day,
looking so relaxed.

I'm not relaxed right now.

Anyone would think
you're totally relaxed right now.

How much longer
will you just sit back and watch?

We have to attend
the press forum later today.

That's later.

Pick up your camera and go.

Go where?

Anywhere where you can score a big scoop.

Reporter Choi, run!

- Yes, sir.
- Run!

All right, it's time to step up your game!

I'll see you later.

("Additional Body Parts Found
in Bumyeong-dong")

What is this world turning into?

These scumbags...

- Hello, sir.
- Yes, hello.

That's my desk.

I'm sorry, sir.
I don't have anywhere to sit.

- You saw the news, right?
- Yes.

Hello, sir.

- What was your name again?
- Jung Woo Ju, sir.

I've been assigned to the team
as a statistics analyst.

Right, it's nice to meet you.
I'm Captain Kook Young Soo.

This is Inspector Song Ha Young,
our criminal behavioral analyst.

The victim is a five-year-old girl.

- She's five?
- Yes.

Sorry to interrupt.

I don't have a desk.

Oh, hold on. A desk...

Just let him use this one.

Gil Pyo, you need to let...

the Behavioral Analysis Team
take part in this case.

Where are you? Gil Pyo. Are you in here?

Hey, I get it. I'll talk to the team.

Gil Pyo, we met Jang Deuk...

We had an interview
with a mutilation murderer.

What's with you?

Hey, do you think this is children's play?

- I already have a headache as is.
- Does it sound like I'm joking?

I said I'll talk to them!

Excuse me.

Where should I put this?

Wherever you want to sit.

Wherever I want... Okay.

Where I want to sit.

(Found eight mutilated body pieces
of the victim, a young child.)

- Is your blood type B?
- Yes.

- Was that an insult?
- Sorry?

No, I wouldn't. My blood type is B too.

I see.

("Enragement with Child Mutilation,
the Police Want More Reports")

Why did you apply
for the Behavioral Analysis Team?

It looked cool.

Behavioral Analysis Team.

It already sounds cool.

Behavioral Analysis Team
of Detective Division,

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

I'm the statistics analyst.

Cool.

("Mutilated Body Found in Changeui-dong")

("The Culprit Hides the Body
in a Plastic Bag Within a Bag")

("The Police Presumes the Culprit
as a Mental Patient")

Do you know the story
of the blind man and a lantern?

- Sorry?
- Someone asked a blind man...

who walks down a dark road
with a lantern in his hand.

"You can't see anyway."

"Why do you carry that around?"

Why do you think so?

Why was he carrying that?

He wanted others to see clearly
and not fall down while walking.

He lit up the road for others,
not for himself.

It's tough to last
unless you have this attitude...

when you start a career
in coming across criminals.

I see.

You stashed us in a storage
as if we got demoted.

And we only have two men.

No, it's finally three.

We're only called
the Behavioral Analysis Team.

What is this?

Hey, Special Crime Squad is
very busy right now.

We don't even have a moment to smoke.

You know what it's like. Cut it out.

We aren't some hecklers.

We're trying to help out
with the investigation.

I know, but it's still too early.

You know that people don't know...

what exactly
the Behavioral Analysis Team does.

Of course.

You stashed us in some shabby storage.

We couldn't find the budget
or the opening for new personnel,

but you insisted
on making the team in haste.

That was the only room available.

We report directly
to the Detective Division,

I'll consult Superintendent Baek directly.

Hey, wait. Stop right there.

Directly or whatever,
you aren't the chief anymore.

You have to get through me.

I know we're close,

but let's not destroy
the reporting levels.

- What do you expect, then?
- One second.

My phone smells weird.

- Why?
- I think something is served.

You got served.

You wouldn't listen to me
when I tried to stop you!

Hey, others are
dying to climb up the ladder.

No one told you to get demoted.

I was willing to lay it down
because this job is that important.

Whatever. I'm going directly
to the captain.

Hey, wait. Get back here.

Stay conscious of the men above...

and continue to interview inmates.

Then at least share the daily report
of the investigation with us.

How can I share that as I like?

What can you share, then?

My love for you.

I can always share that.

Good grief.

I'm ordering jjajangmyeon.
Do you want some?

No.

The police noted that
there were no calls made...

by the culprit to demand money
from the family of the victim,

so they speculate
that it may have been done...

- by a mentally ill person.
- What happened?

They won't even share
the investigation reports?

I'm going to meet the captain
of the Special Crime Squad.

Who's the captain of Team Two again?

Captain Yoon Tae Gu.

Have you worked together?

For a short while, in Jungbu Station.
I'll come too.

Sounds great. Come with me.

(Special Crime Squad 1)

Captain.

They walked out
of Chief Heo's office just now.

I think they want us
to share the case reports.

Make sure they don't freeload on our case.

I'll manage.

Nice to meet you.

How may I help you?

My name is Kook Young Soo.
I was formerly in Forensics Squad.

Chief Kook Young Soo of Forensics Squad.

You made a name for yourself,
so I know who you are.

- Thank you.
- It has been a while.

Yes.

"Criminal behavioral analyst?"

I'm studying the psychology of criminals.

I meet with inmates in prison,
conduct interviews,

and turn them into data.

What do you do with them?

Do you test for their types?

It was a joke.
I'm sorry if you were offended.

No, it's all right.

Not many know about our team,
so I understand.

Why don't we grab a seat?

I'm a little busy right now.

- I see.
- Okay.

I had my first interview
with a mutilation murderer.

If we find out
the psychology of the criminal,

we can prevent another crime.

We are in a rush to resolve the case
instead of preventing it.

I understand. It's true, but...

Instead of arresting culprits,

Behavioral Analysis Team aims...

to prevent similar crimes
from breaking out, but...

Even if all of us end up unemployed,

it would be wonderful
to see a day like that.

Isn't that so?

We'd like to help with this investigation.

The detectives in charge are
more than competent.

I doubt it was done
by a mentally ill person.

It seems like
you're stepping over the line.

Why are you so defensive?

Goodness, why are you two
going on with different topics?

Captain Yoon, we came to see you today...

to help out with the investigation.

We don't mean anything else,
so don't take it the wrong way.

We are the ones to decide...

if you will be helpful or not.

As you can see,
we are unbelievably busy...

because we don't even have a suspect...

of that darned mutilation murderer.

So we do not have
enough resources to cooperate...

with your great plan
of criminal analysis or whatnot.

In that case,

could you please share
the investigation reports?

You're probably asking
although you know it's impossible.

I'm sorry to say that
there's nothing I can share.

We just want to help you
find a suspect of the case.

As you know, I'm very busy.

May I be excused?

Yes, well, in that case...

(Criminal Behavioral Analyst
Song Ha Young)

Goodness. Let's leave for now.

We'll find a way.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have followed.

That has nothing to do with this.

(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)

Statistics Analyst Jung Woo Ju.

- Yes, sir.
- I finally have a job for you.

Among the articles published
on the Changeui-dong case,

please put together everything
that can be used as a lead.

The Changeui-dong case?

The mutilated five-year-old girl.

And instead of using that horrible name,

we'll call it the Changeui-dong case.

Yes, sir.

Hey, In Tak.

Hey, Young Soo. Thanks.

Why did you suddenly want to meet here?

Is something going on?

(Scientific Investigations)

You know that I transferred
to Behavioral Analysis Team, right?

I heard about it,
but what do you do there?

People were talking
and saying you were demoted.

You probably won't understand
even if I explained this now.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you today...

if you found any leads...

for the Changeui-dong case.

Which one? The mutilated five-year-old?

- Yes.
- Why are you asking me?

It's a complicated story.

So you really weren't demoted?

Hey, you punk.

Am I someone who would get demoted?

No way, you are
the godfather of Forensics.

If anything, you should be promoted.

Precisely.

You found nothing
on the scene or on her body?

Nothing. He cut up even the kid's fingers.

Fingers?

I find these cases horrifying
no matter how many times I see them.

I can never get used to this.

So he put it in a black plastic bag,

put it in a backpack,
then threw it out, correct?

When the parts were found,
they were frozen.

I don't know how he cut her,
but the section looked very neat.

Let me borrow your pen.

The body was cut after it was frozen.

The cross-section is neatly cut.

Where did she go missing
and when was she abducted?

The time?

By any chance,

do you think I can look at the photos?

I have them in my office.

But I can't share them.

I'll just look at them.

(Scientific Investigations Team)

- Be on the lookout for me.
- Okay.

What? What are you doing?

Hey, you know that you became the chief...

because I transferred...

even though people were
pointing fingers at me.

Yes, I do.

Give me a second. Come on.

Keep watching.

Thanks.

Arms and legs...

Cut them off and divide them into two.

How many do you have?

If the culprit severed
the body parts not to get caught,

why would the culprit abandon
the body parts nearby?

You're talking to me, right?

I'm going out.

I'll be late. If Captain Kook
doesn't come back, go home.

Okay.

Well,

I have a situation.

I see. Okay.
You sure have a difficult job.

- How much is it?
- Five dollars.

- Here.
- Thanks.

(Photo Studio)

(Press Center)

(Communication Science Forum
at Hankuk University)

- Do you want some coffee?
- Sounds good.

- It's over there.
- Ki Ho.

Ki Ho.

It's been a while.

You too.

What a surprise.

Im Moo Sik of Daehan Daily is
actually saying hello to me first.

Don't be so harsh on me.

I know how to show my respect.

No, you don't.

Well, it's nice to see you guys...

working together like this.

Fact Today. Good luck.

Good luck.

I don't expect much.
But let's do better than him.

- Yes, sir.
- You're not...

going to the office now. Right?

Oh, I...

Hello?

You know that
I rarely call in favors. Right?

But I know that when you start with that,

you want something from me.

What is it this time?

If you know anything, give me some intel.

Come on. Don't ask me that. Bye.

Hey, don't hang up.

I really need to find a lead.
Can you help me out here?

Gosh. Why did he just hang up on me?

See?

Desperate ones
are bound to take initiative.

Do you feel like talking to me now?

No. Not yet.

Turn that off.

(Keep quiet)

- Happy now?
- A bit.

Don't you feel guilty?

You brutally killed a woman.

She was already dead anyway.

I didn't have a choice.

What's the point of holding
onto the past and regretting it?

It's not regretting. It's repenting.

Do you know something?

Your eyes...

seem so familiar.

There's a void...

in your eyes.

- Stop making jokes.
- I'm serious.

Fine. I'm human, after all.

I do feel guilty from time to time.

Right.

You too.

That just showed that
you could turn into a monster too.

I'm just one step away?

Yes.

You can't consider guilt
the same as murder.

That's the difference between
humans and monsters like you.

You think a heinous crime like that
is the same as being unethical.

That's an indeed horrendous thought.

A horrendous thought.

Do you know what's really horrid?

Severing the body.

Swoosh.

Swoosh!

Then why did you do it?

Do you think I did it for fun?

It takes a lot of time and is exhausting.

Think about it.

Where could I go
while carrying someone that big?

Where could I hide her?

Cutting her up wasn't easy.

That wench.

So you cut her up to move around easily?

If that was the only reason,

you wouldn't have removed
her eyes or tongue.

You got half right.
The other half is wrong.

You get 50 points.

-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

There's a void in your eyes.

You too.

That just showed that
you could turn into a monster too.

I'm back.

- Where did you go?
- I went to meet Jang Deuk Ho.

I see.

How did you get them?

From my connection.

Wait. Let's see.

You're missing the time and locations.

Oh, that? I got it.

- Did you eat?
- I don't have an appetite.

You still have to eat
regardless of your appetite.

(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)

Hey, give me that.

- Gosh. I'm so tired.
- Goodness.

- You're back.
- Yes.

Did anyone hold grudges
against her parents?

We haven't found anyone so far.
We still have to look further.

This is the file from Forensics.
I checked them by time.

Did you eat?

- Do you want to go to a sauna?
- It should be open by now.

There was no ransom.

So I doubt the culprit was after money.

Given the brutality of the crime,

we can look into people...

who might have held grudges
against her parents.

But the Special Crime Squad
hasn't gotten that far yet.

That's why they must have
narrowed it down...

to someone who is mentally unstable.

But the body was cut too neatly
for someone who's mentally unstable.

The culprit cut her up by her joints.

It means that the culprit knew the method.

And each body part was put
in different plastic bags.

Just looking at the evidence,

the culprit must be
used to cutting things up.

What kind of job
one should have to be skilled at it?

This is going back to square one,

but why were they discarded
in the same area?

It's easier to find.

Maybe he just didn't have the means
to move them elsewhere.

But this...
They were double-bagged, right?

Yes, you're right.

Why did he double-bag them?

Maybe he works at a slaughterhouse.

- That's possible.
- A slaughterhouse worker.

(Slaughterhouse worker)

It's possible
that he used a cutting machine.

And the way
the body parts were frozen too.

But would a slaughterhouse worker...

put the body parts so neatly
in plastic bags?

Then maybe he's someone
who works at a butcher shop.

Oh, that's right.

When you buy meat,

they double-bag it in black plastic bags.

Fish too.

Judging by the way they were cut,

I'd say he's a butcher,
not someone who handles fish.

But doesn't he have to work
during the day?

Business owners can set
their own work schedules.

Or...

he's someone
who used to have that kind of job.

Who's unemployed now.

(Unemployed)

And they said he'd probably be
someone with a mental illness.

But if he's mentally unstable...

I'm not sure.

It's highly unlikely...

because people like that
can't really plan a crime like this.

And the way they were cut...

tells me that it has to be someone
who is skilled at cutting things.

Exactly. That's how we should
approach this. We should...

(Come Again Butchers)

Excuse me. Good day, sir.

We're from the Special Crime Squad
at Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

We'd like to ask you a few questions...

regarding the recent incidents.

Did you take some time off recently?

Is the owner not here at the moment?

He stepped out.

- He did?
- Yes.

We're from the Special Crime Squad
at Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

We'd like to ask you a few questions.

On May 20,

did any of your employees miss work or...

Think about it.

Where could I go
while carrying someone that big?

Where could I hide her?

Can you check the ex-cons'
mental illness history?

Captain Yoon.

Can you spare me a moment?

It's not like you don't know the protocol.

Do you think we're a complete joke?

Or is it me and not about my team?
Have you no respect for me?

What I'm saying is,
the culprit is not mentally unstable.

You're overstepping your boundaries again.

Captain Yoon.

Sorry.

You said you wanted to help, didn't you?

- I'm trying to help you.
- No.

You're here to meddle in our work,
not to help us.

We're doing just fine,

so mind your own business.

We've already checked
all the butcher shops in the area.

You're not the only one who is
keeping a close watch on this case.

It may just be an intriguing case
to you and your team,

but my team has a duty to solve it.

You have been interviewing...

some offenders in jail.

Interview more of them instead
of wasting your time like this.

I'm sure you quit
the Serious Crime Unit...

and accepted this new position
for a reason.

I don't know what that reason is,

but you should work hard
to prevent crime in the distant future.

I don't appreciate your sarcastic tone.

My team and I aren't doing this
just because we're curious.

How could you misunderstand
your fellow officers like this?

Do you have a problem with my team?

Or...

is it me?

You sure have a knack...

for overstepping your boundaries.

Let me make this clear to you.

I am the lead investigator in this case.

Do not underestimate or doubt
what the Special Crime Squad can do.

If you truly want to help us,

do what you have to do
in your own position.

Captain Yoon.

(28 days after the incident)

(June 26, 2000)

Hey, Lotte won yesterday.

My gosh.

- Oh, dear. It's so hot, isn't it?
- Yes.

We can't use the AC before July.

Chief Heo.

Can you please brief us on the progress?

Do you have a suspect yet?

I'll certainly let you know
if there is any progress.

What? All eyes are on this case now.

Are you saying
there still has been no progress?

Come on. You know that
we're all busting our butts now.

Well, everything is classified
except for the info...

that has been reported on the media,

so we can't tell you anything
at the moment. Please understand.

Please use that exact wording
when reporting my statement.

I have to go.

- Come on!
- Tell us what's going on!

- Don't do this to us!
- This is crazy!

(Warm-hearted police

for a safer country tomorrow)

(Women's Restroom)

Captain Yoon Tae Gu.

Did you stay up all night?

What brings you here?

Hey, I transferred
to the Intelligence Unit here...

two weeks ago.

Really?

You must be very busy these days.

Yes, as always.

How can we chat and share information...

with someone who doesn't smoke?

She's no fun.

She's difficult to work with.

Goodness.

They say women are chatty,

but men are worse in my opinion.

How's the investigation going?
Any progress?

Well, it's not easy.

Because you're in charge...

of the dismemberment murder case
in Changeui-dong,

losers like them are watching you
with their eyes peeled.

Really?

Everyone in the police force
knows that you're a star player.

I can't believe
people are still complaining...

about a woman leading
the Special Crime Squad.

Losers. They're so pathetic.

I'm so happy that you're here.

- Take it easy.
- You too.

Come, over here!

A butcher.

The victim went missing
at a park during the day,

and the body parts were found
in a residential area nearby.

(Missing, Lee Soo Hyun, Age 5)

It means the culprit lives in the area.

(Tae Ho's Corner Shop)

And it has to be someone
who doesn't have a set schedule.

What kind of trait does the culprit have?

Why did he kidnap her?

Why did he dismember her body?

The body parts were found
in black plastic bags.

They were double-bagged.

Who is the culprit?

I must find the culprit
who killed a five-year-old kid.

(Missing, Lee Soo Hyun, Age 5)

Why was it her?

- Come here!
- Hey!

Hey, wait up!

Where is he hiding?

- Hey!
- Hurry!

Hello?

Captain, come to the autopsy room. Now.

(Autopsy Room)

A fridge?

They were frozen when they were found.

The marks on the back
seem to be from the freezer shelves.

Captain Kook Young Soo found it.

What is it about, sir?
Why can't you just say it?

I know what everyone thinks
about the Analysis Team.

I know what's going on,

but we can give them a chance, you know?

I heard Kook Young Soo was the one
who found the clue.

Captain Yoon, I'm sure you know this,

but it's lonely taking a path
no one has ever taken before.

They must be feeling lonely right now.

So I'd like you to help them.

Don't get me wrong. It's not an order.

Of course not. I'm sure she knows.

Yes, sir. I should get back to work.

- Okay, sure.
- All right.

(Evidence Photos)

We'll check the junk shops
in the area first.

Then we'll check
electronics stores in the area.

Please check everything thoroughly.

Will do. Good luck.

- Let's go.
- Yes, ma'am.

(Used Furniture,
Home and Office Electronics)

(Used Furniture,
Home and Office Electronics)

Hello?

Would you happen to have a fridge
with shelves spaced out this much?

Or did you maybe sell one?

Please take a good look
at the distance of the shelves.

(Used Furniture,
Home and Office Electronics)

Gosh.

(Welcome, Lee Market)

(Eunhye Grocery Store)

Excuse me, sir.

Give this person a visit.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

(Woosung Junk)

Don't do it yourself. Let me help you.

Excuse me, sir?

Hello.

- Hi.
- Are you the owner?

Yes, I am. What brings you here?

We're from the Behavioral Analysis Team...

at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

I see. What brings you here then?

We wanted to ask you a question.

This is my go-to song.

Would you mind turning it off
for a moment, please?

Sure.

Thank you.

The thing is, we're looking for
a particular model for a fridge...

and heard that you knew anything
and everything about fridges.

Nobody can beat me when it comes to
knowledge about fridges in Korea.

I see.

Could you maybe tell us
what model this is?

Let me see.
The model seems like a pretty old one.

Hold on.

(Office, Restricted Area)

Let's see here.

Yes, this one.

This was a model used in 1980.

That's not a shelf, it's
the interior floor of the fridge.

They probably only have this
at the Daesung headquarter.

I see.

- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.

No problem.

Captain Yoon? We found the model.

Someone reported they have partial
remains of a child.

We're headed there now.

Where is it?

Detective Nam?
Speed up a little more, Il Young.

Hurry up and catch up with them!

(Gyeonggi Province, Gwangju,
Gyeongseong-dong. Dawonjang Motel)

This has never happened
in my 20 years of running a motel.

I looked in because
I heard something break...

and saw the toilet was clogged
with a heavy-looking object.

Police.

I thought it was
a piece of meat thrown out.

I took it out without
giving it a second thought.

You have no idea how startled I was.

My heart is still racing, young lady.

Yes, Director.

All the higher-ups came too.
There's no doubt.

I'm telling you,
you can trust my informant.

I'm still the only one here.

I'm finally getting an exclusive report.

You're interfering with the investigation.

- What's your problem?
- Stop this person from getting in.

- There's no exclusive here.
- What nonsense are you saying?

Why won't you give it back?

Give it! Why are you taking it? It's mine!

(Do Not Enter, Under Investigation)

Why are you here too?
The higher-ups are...

- You came too, Superintendent Baek.
- Yes, hi.

We found the model of the fridge.

- What is it?
- Excuse me.

- Excuse me.
- Okay.

Is that him? The stubborn one?

Yes. Let's talk later.

Hey! When can we go in? Young Soo!

You found the model of the fridge?

Yes, we did.

It's a Daesung fridge,
manufactured in 1988.

This is the model name.

Hey, I still have a business to run.

How much longer will this take,
young lady?

She's not, "young lady."
She's a detective.

She's the captain in charge of this case.

Whatever the case,
please wrap it up quickly.

Gosh, I'll have to call a shaman
for cleansing or something.

Can't we go in now?

Don't come in here
to step on and touch things.

The best way for the two of you
to help is to stay right there.

Thank you for the hard work.

Someone with experience
needs to help out with this.

Young Soo.

This is strange, right?

This guy didn't come here to sleep.

What is this?

On Monday, May 29,

a five-year-old, Lee Soo Hyun,
was dismembered...

and found in a residential area
in Changeui-dong.

Yesterday on June 26,

an additional part of her body...

was found at a motel in Gyeongseong-dong.

Mrs. Kim, the owner of the motel...

reported to the police...

when she found a part of
a young child's remains...

in the toilet of room 302
on the third floor around 3 p.m.

According to Kim,

a man who looked to be in his 40s,
dressed in manual labor clothes...

stayed in this room
around 7 a.m. on the 25th.

We will share the details of
this ongoing investigation...

with the citizens.

We will do our very best
in this investigation...

and make sure to catch the culprit.

I will end the brief here.

(Tuesday, June 27)

("Our Pledge")

We got our first-ever witness...

but it didn't lead to
the culprit's capture.

(Wonil-dong)

If anything,
the identity of the culprit...

has become hazier.

- There you are.
- Hi.

We need more support staff
for the Investigation Team, Chief.

We've already maxed out the number.
You know that too.

It's already been a week since
the additional body part was found.

We can't delay any further.

We don't even have enough
to send out for questioning.

Try using the Behavioral Analysis Team.

- Chief...
- You said it's urgent.

Try asking for the Analysis Team's help.

Even though their method
may seem foreign...

the team was still made
to work for the organization too.

They're affiliated with
the Detective Division too.

Also, this is off the record...

but the Behavioral Analysis Team
may go away after this year.

What do you mean, "Go away?"

They will have to show results,
in order to show their worth.

Those guys are in as knee-deep
as we are in this case too.

So try utilizing them well.

I'm certain it'll be helpful
for both sides.

The act of the culprit leaving
the mutilated corpse...

in a residential area was likely
because he wanted to show off.

The method of the murder
was so violent and highly advanced.

It's been over a month
since Soo Hyun disappeared.

Yet, the whereabouts
of the culprit is still...

To a profiler, policing doesn't come
before examining the minds.

Examining the minds come first.

(Body parts found: both arms,
both hands, both legs...)

A profiler must detect
what happened at the crime scene.

There's no meaning in keeping
the meeting materials in the team.

Why don't we write up a report...

and share it with the Investigation Team?

So you want to put together
the reasons for our reasoning...

and suggest it to them as a possibility?

Yes.

There's no meaning
in doing this by ourselves.

I'm not sure if she'll be convinced.

We'll have to try.

Shall we?

Profiling Report, Changeui-dong Case.

The body was mutilated
after it was frozen.

A mid to large-sized
fridge for home was used.

The cross-section of the body parts.

The shape and the cross-section show...

the culprit is someone
who cuts frozen food.

All seven black plastic bags
containing the parts were clean.

Two plastic bags were used
to pack the body parts.

Goodness.

When people sell frozen products,

they have a habit of wrapping them
in two plastic bags.

The culprit likely has
a history of selling frozen food...

or is currently working...

at a butcher's shop or at a fish shop.

The time elapsed
while mutilating the body.

It means he took time to cut her body.

If he cut her after freezing her body,

it means he spent
a lot of time mutilating her.

The culprit either lives alone...

or works alone.

It would've been too dangerous...

to travel far with a little child.

In conclusion, the culprit is
a man who lives alone,

but someone who likes
to keep things clean.

If you search his house,
it will be neatly organized.

The weapon he used will
also be put away neatly.

The crime site and his residence...

may be within the walking distance...

between the point she went missing
to the victim's home.

Abduction, sexual molestation, mutilation,

and abandonment show...

the culprit's age is
between the late 30s to early 40s.

His final education is presumed...

as a middle school dropout
or a middle school graduate.

It may be a person...

who has experience in selling
frozen foods such as a butcher,

or a person who does cutting-related work,

someone who does not work
in one place for a long time...

and changes jobs frequently.

He may currently run a butcher shop,
a raw fish restaurant,

or another restaurant alone.

"If someone abducted a minor
for sexual purposes,"

"he may show characteristics..."

"that are common to culprits
of child rape and murder."

"He may be an introvert, reserved,"

"and have a sexual complex."

"Premature ejaculation or impotence?"

How are we going to confirm that?

So in summary,

a man with a sexual complex
who lives alone...

and likes things neat is
probably the culprit. Yes?

- Yes, sir.
- What is this nonsense?

The victim was abducted at a place...

difficult to find for those
who aren't familiar with the area.

Also, it probably wasn't easy
to take the victim far away...

as she cried and fought back.

These two things tell us that...

the crime site and his residence...

may be within the walking distance
from where she went missing.

He's the most likely to reside
somewhere in that area.

We already searched through
the entire neighborhood.

We did not find anything suspicious.

The same goes for the butcher shop.
We already investigated.

Yes, we did not just sit around.

Then he must have worked
at a butcher shop in the past.

He'll be someone who does not work
in one place for a long time...

and changes jobs frequently.

If that's your theory,

is it possible that the culprit
can be someone...

who takes night shifts
at a raw fish restaurant?

It's very likely.

This sounds too vague.

Look at this in the middle.

"Abduction, sexual molestation,"

"mutilation, and abandonment show..."

"the culprit's age is
between the late 30s to early 40s."

"His final education is presumed..."

"as a middle school dropout
or a middle school graduate."

If he has a criminal record,

he may have a record
for a crime such as theft...

rather than violence or injury
against a person,

then became punished...

when he was in middle and high school.

I mean, what's your ground?

Our ground is the FBI's crime analysis...

Good grief, you're bringing up
those Americans again.

Hey, you're in Korea,

where the World Cup will happen
in just two years.

Also, he threw out
the body parts he cut up...

around the neighborhood
as if he put them on display,

yet you're saying
he's not a smart criminal?

It may look like he put them on display,

but the biggest reason
why he cut her body was...

that he did not want her to be noticed.

Also, the culprit threw those out
in many different areas.

It's almost like
that personality type test.

"Blood type B has
a feisty and selfish personality."

Isn't it something like that?

I think I trust the blood type
personality theory even more.

What are you...

Here's one I find the most convincing.

"He may have a sexual complex."

"He either worked
around the crime scene..."

"or resided there."

"He's someone who does not have
many close friends."

Most sex offenders are introverted...

and have a sexual complex.

If he targeted a minor
instead of a grown woman,

it means he wanted to find...

an easy target who wouldn't fight him.

We must start investigating
sex offenders...

who committed a crime against minors.

My gosh.

Chief Heo.

It can't happen, can it?

No, we can't do this.

We have pride
here at the Special Crime Squad.

How can I give them an order
to investigate by using this report?

Gil Pyo.

Chief Heo. You have nothing to lose.

The least you can do is investigate.

No, we can't do that.

If we must investigate
every single ex-con,

we'll need a lot of manpower too.

Don't you think so?

Here's what I'm trying to say.

I think it'll be impossible
if we try to do this officially.

(Unofficial)

Just do it unofficially.

Let's end the meeting.

Captain Yoon.

This is the first and the last time.

(Computer Room
Database of Criminal Records)

Let's give a chance
to Behavioral Analysis Team.

If they help our investigation,

we won't lose anything either.

It's an unofficial duty,
so you have to move quietly.

I don't think this is the place.

Oh, Behavioral Analysis Team.

(Behavioral Analysis Team)

- Hello.
- These are the lists of...

- Let's do this.
- Yes.

Your resident ID number is 630303-1126850.

That's right.

On May 20, where were you...

between 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.?

(List of Sex Offenders)

- Who are you?
- Please excuse us.

It has been a while since I was released.

And I don't mess with kids.

Where were you
between 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on May 20?

Ever since I was released,
I've kept a low profile.

I'm innocent.

- Thank you.
- Wait for me!

Do you want ice cream?

(Name, Address)

You better hide well

I might see your hair

You better hide well

I might see your hair

You better hide well

I might see your hair

Come on, we have to hide!

You better hide well

I might see your hair

You better hide well

I might see your hair

You better hide well

I might see your hair

Did something go wrong?

There's nothing we can do...

other than cross out the list.

Don't beat yourself up so much.

- Excuse me.
- Yes, what is it?

Instead of searching the area...

with the list of sex offenders,

why don't we try to find...

a sex offender
who lives alone in the area?

That'll take too long.

He has a point.

If he recently moved to the area,

we may not find him on our list.

Yes, I don't think it's a bad idea.

Then let's find a list
of men in their 30s and 40s...

who live alone in the area.

We got started, so let's continue,
no matter where it takes us.

Yes, let's do it.

(Changeui-dong Office)

I'm Senior Officer Nam Il Young...

from Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

Please give me a list...

of men in their 30s and 40s
who live alone in Changeui-dong.

Everyone?

(Changeui-dong Single-person homes
for men in their 30s and 40s)

(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)

Take a look at that one.

Captain Yoon.

You need to see this.

These four weren't found
on the criminal records database...

at the police agency.

They registered their move later,

so they weren't caught on the system.

So there were those who got left out.

Yes, we might end up
catching the culprit easily.

Captain Kook.

We need to talk.

The 4 of us will check out 1 address each.

(Criminal History Record)

Changeui-dong...

(39-1 Changeui-dong)

The items are somewhat neatly organized.

The house is close to the alley
in Changeui-dong...

where the body parts were first found.

I think I found the place.

Wait for me.

(Item Storage)

(Employment,
factories and construction sites)

This guy is the culprit.

(Through the Darkness)

I'm sure we'll find Soo Hyun's
fingers around his house.

There are only eight fingers.

We're missing two fingers of a girl!

Search thoroughly!

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.

The two fingers we couldn't find...

Where are they?

There are three fingerprints?

It's odd that there are
only three fingerprints, right?

He either has a weird grip...

or is missing fingers.

He abandoned her body parts...

at different times in different locations.

- Cho Young Gil...
- Where is he hiding?
