JULY 29, 2000

-Bye! -See you tomorrow.

Oh, it's raining!

It's raining. What should I do?

Breaking news. A primary school student

was kidnapped on her way home from school in Gyeonggi-do.

The police are investigating.

KIM YOON-JUNG AGE: 11

What was Yoon-jung like?

-Did you know her? -Yes.

Were you her friend?

What do you think about this event?

Sun-woo!

The police found a key suspect in the case.

A blackmail letter and fingerprints were found, belonging to Seo Hyung-joon,

currently enrolled at Sang-jin Medical School…

The person who took Yoon-jung was a woman.

No, I have no time.

No, please don't take my brother.

It's not him. Sun-woo!

Excuse me!

No, it was not a man.

Sir, the kidnapper is not a man.

-You hear from the credit card company? -I've handed in the call logs.

-Anything new on the case? -Not yet.

CIVIL COMPLAINTS POLICE STATION

Yoon-jung.

My poor Yoon-jung.

I can't live without you.

Thousands of photos were handed out and hundreds worked on her case.

Tens of thousands of people also joined in to help.

But Yoon-jung came back to us as a cold body.

The suspect, Seo Hyung-joon,

took 50 million in ransom money

and disappeared after evading the police.

WANTED FOR KIDNAPPING

There's a warrant out for his arrest, but seeing as he hasn't been caught yet,

there's a high chance that he has already fled abroad.

PLEASE FIND THE CRIMINAL WHO KILLED MY CHILD!

One of the cold cases,

the statute of limitations of Kim Yoon-jung's kidnap case is expiring.

He must be caught by midnight of July 29th, 2015

in order to make him pay for his crime.

JULY 27, 2015

3 DAYS BEFORE EXPIRATION OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

It's the subconsciousness.

A trophy in the cabinet, a photo on the desk.

You can look into the subconscious mind even by a book in the bathroom.

It's called snooping, in psychology.

So you found out through this snooping?

KANG SO-RA AND IM SI-WAN DATING

-About what? Those two dating? -No, not that.

That they were meeting at the back gate of Hyunjin Park at 10:30 p.m.

Only a ghost'd know that.

Everyone knows they formed a love triangle

while filming a drama last year.

I know this show. The Manager Is Cool.

Their new airport outfits.

One of the two men

went abroad for four days for a photo shoot.

The other two had time to talk things over.

This is Im Si-wan's home, recently made public.

The pictures in the living room are very big.

Usually this means that he is very proud

and adores himself.

Kang So-ra would contact him, but he wouldn't meet up with her readily.

But, the day before Byun Yo-han's return,

it's likely he broke down.

So, the date had to be yesterday, July 26th.

What about the time? Why 10:30 p.m.?

Psychology helps in picking the time.

Si-wan had a concert rehearsal scheduled for 10:00 a.m. the next day.

If we say he had to wake up at 8:00 a.m., deduct the number of sleep hours,

the time needed to talk to So-ra,

and consider a time when there are fewer people about,

it had to be 10:30 p.m.

What about the location? Why Hyunjin Park?

When the Cold War ended in 1989,

Presidents Bush and Gorbachev

didn't meet in the US or Russia, but in Malta.

Why?

The riskier the meeting,

the more neutral the location.

It's the same with love.

These two were practically at war.

Would they meet in their own homes?

It's a neutral spot with few lights

and not many people about.

It wouldn't be out of place to wear caps and jogging outfits.

At a bench by the rear gate of Hyunjin Park. Okay?

Okay, let's talk about what comes next.

These two… where will they meet next week?

Are they dating? No way.

-How'd you find out? -By going through trash.

CHA SOO-HYUN

JINYANG POLICE STATION

I thought a cat was digging up the trash. I was going to put out some rat poison.

But it was a cop.

Does a cat die if it eats rat poison?

You're Lieutenant Park Hae-young from Bukdaemun Patrol Division, right?

Lee Bo-young reported you for stalking.

For stalking?

Is digging through people's trash stalking?

What about those who take the recycling?

Are they intruders?

You don't understand what's going on right now.

You're a cop who dug through the trash of a female celebrity who lives alone.

Are you a pervert? You even sold her information and received money.

I received money? Says who?

Go through my bank account. I didn't receive a dime.

This is just my hobby.

Others fish or knit.

I use my skills and share hidden information.

Is that a crime?

What? You're not listening!

The bosses are trying to make sure government employees work hard.

Tae-hyun.

Report him for damaging police dignity and fire him.

Damage to dignity?

Want me to tell you how a cop damages their dignity?

This is your desk, right?

Wonmi parking lot arson and the Jinyang burglary case.

The Oasis Hostess Bar case.

Are you protesting that you have a heavy workload?

You just have them piled up here. You go from one case to another

and drag in the wrong people like me. That's how you damage your dignity.

People like you,

in a place like this,

where people in front, beside, or behind cannot see…

"Every handcuff carries 2.5 liters of tears."

They keep something like this and brainwash themselves.

"I'm still a good cop."

But isn't Batman too much?

Anyway, this desk does look like a detective's.

But…

that's obviously the desk of a salesman.

Hey, stop that.

The investigation guides are used as coasters.

His reading material is about golf and hiking.

You jerk.

What's most important are these colorful business cards.

I bet he has a business card for Lee Bo-young's manager.

You guys are investigating as per that manager's request.

Otherwise, why would Homicide Division be digging into the trash?

Am I wrong?

Is this the dignity you're all talking about?

Damaging dignity, huh?

What a joke.

Is there even any dignity left to be damaged for our police?

They say you have a mouth to say the right things.

Why don't you say the right things?

Well,

what kind of cop has dignity anyway?

They don't teach that at the Police University, right?

That's why you go around digging through trash.

I wasn't digging, I was investigating.

By the way, why do you speak informally?

You know we're all undignified here.

It's what undignified people do.

Homicide Division One.

Okay.

I see.

It was…

about to get fun.

Too bad.

They're withdrawing their report.

It's not over for me.

I'll reveal you were bribed to investigate.

-Of course you were. -Let go.

Garbage bag versus bribery.

What a great match. You'll both be embarrassed.

Let's see who'll win.

Sit down.

Oh, look at the time.

Just know that

you guys got lucky today.

That kid is a jerk.

-Gosh. -Should I see you off?

Seriously.

Lieutenant Park, who hates cops and has dignity,

find something else before it's too late.

You're not… suited to being a cop.

Let's not meet again.

-Heard from the card company? -I gave in the call logs.

-Anything new on the Yoon-jung case? -Not yet.

Why are you here?

Are you with your mom?

Are you lost?

What brings you here?

Go back home, kid.

Oh, no… Hey!

KIM YOON-JUNG CASE BRIEFING

Jae-han, hurry up.

AUGUST 3, 2000

FIVE DAYS, FIVE HOURS AFTER KIM YOON-JUNG'S ABDUCTION

I have a meeting now.

-I'll talk to you later. -Get this on the screen.

Okay.

Detective Lee…

Make it larger.

Hello.

KIM YOON-JUNG CASE BRIEFING

-Get started. -Okay.

Let's start the briefing on Kim Yoon-jung's abduction.

The incident occurred on July 29th, 2000,

presumably around 1:00 p.m. after school. Reported the same day at 6:44 p.m.

Fifty-three hours later,

a ransom note for 50 million won was sent to her family.

Everyone, please cooperate. We're from Jinyang Police Station.

The police arrived at the cafe mentioned in the letter.

We failed to arrest the suspect,

but we found fingerprints identical to the ones on the letter.

We were able to identify the suspect.

The suspect's name is Seo Hyung-joon.

He's 21 years old.

He's a medical student at Sang-jin University.

Police went to his apartment, school,

and hometown, but he had already run. His current location is unknown.

Did you track his cell phone?

Deactivated. He hasn't paid the bill for two months.

Did you check his credit card statement?

He's a credit delinquent… 50 million won in debt.

His account is closed, so we can't track him.

The world is…

full of bad people.

There's this guy who kidnapped a little girl for 50 million won.

And you guys who haven't been able to find him

in this crowded little country.

You shitheads. Don't you know how serious this case is?

The whole country is watching.

You identified the suspect, yet you can't even catch him?

We do have a clue.

In his credit card statement,

we found a lot of women's items and brands.

Seo Hyung-joon had a girlfriend.

He spoke with his closest friend a few months ago

about problems with a girl he loved.

He didn't tell him her name, though.

We're still digging around.

But we don't know who it is yet.

-Gosh. -Chief!

Yoon-jung's family received another ransom letter.

They want 50 million won

by 10:00 p.m. at Seoyoung Park.

Gosh.

What are you all waiting for?

By the way,

on both the letter and at the cafe,

his fingerprints were only from his right thumb.

If he touched the table or the letter, his other fingerprints should be there.

Strange that it's only the thumb.

As if someone left the prints there on purpose.

So what?

Seo Hyung-joon's girlfriend.

We should look into her.

Do it yourself.

You like working alone.

But…

you should watch your back.

Stop.

You looked into all the women Hyung-joon knew.

You should stop, too.

Quit sucking up to Chief Kim.

CARD NUMBER STORE NAME

AUGUST 3RD SEONIL MENTAL HOSPITAL

Have you eaten?

Yes.

You picked a perfect day

to get transferred.

Well…

Jae-han.

About…

what I said--

I think I can sort it out this weekend.

What?

Let's talk…

after it's all over.

Soo-hyun, the thing is…

I really thought the garbage bag was connected to our arson case.

So…

He begged me to stop him,

saying it'd be a big problem if reporters found out.

He just begged me.

I didn't take any bribes.

Why is there so much to do? How undignified.

Why are you worried about this?

Just give this all to me. I'll handle them.

I just have to finish these by tomorrow.

I'm good at this stuff. I'm just bad with computers.

AUGUST 3, 2000

FIVE DAYS, SIX HOURS AFTER KIM YOON-JUNG'S ABDUCTION

I can't believe I dropped it.

"The kidnapper isn't a man but a woman."

What's this?

What?

It can't be.

Excuse me.

How could someone park here?

WASTE DISPOSAL

Gosh, really.

What the heck!

What's up with today? This is my worst day ever.

SEONIL MENTAL HOSPITAL

SHUTDOWN NOTICE

Gosh, where is this guy?

He has no common sense.

The number you've dialed can't be reached…

Seriously…

Lieutenant Park.

It's Detective Lee Jae-han.

Hello?

Lieutenant Park, are you there?

WASTE DISPOSAL

I'm at Seonil Mental Hospital that you talked about.

I found a hanging corpse in a manhole behind the building.

It's Seo Hyung-joon, the suspect in Kim Yoon-jung's kidnapping case.

Kim Yoon-jung's kidnap case?

But…

his thumb has been cut off.

Someone killed him and made it look like suicide.

DISPOSAL

Seo Hyung-joon is not the kidnapper. It's someone else.

Who are you?

What are you saying? Seonil Mental Hospital?

Where is that?

It was you who told me about this place.

Lieutenant Park.

Why did you tell me not to come here?

What…

happened here?

What are you talking about?

Do you know me?

Who are you? Which branch are you from?

Gosh…

That hurts.

What the heck?

Gosh.

What was that…

Gosh.

PROSECUTORS! DETECTIVES!

FIND THE CRIMINAL WHO KILLED MY CHILD!

You've brought an antique.

I think I used this when I first started out.

Is it that old?

Are you sure it still works?

It has no battery.

-It has no battery? -No, it's completely dead.

You came here because of that? You're off duty today.

My goodness.

Right.

I've been working too hard.

This must be an obsession.

I'm at Seonil Mental Hospital that you told me about.

Someone killed Seo Hyung-joon and made it looks like suicide.

WARNING

I'm just trying

to prove that I'm not crazy.

I'll prove that I'm completely normal.

Am I stuck?

Gosh.

I must be out of my mind.

SEONIL MENTAL HOSPITAL

No way.

Gosh.

Gosh…

Gosh!

That scared me.

I found a hanging corpse in a manhole behind the building.

It's Seo Hyung-joon, the suspect in Kim Yoon-jung's kidnap case.

Gosh!

What am I doing right now?

That walkie-talkie didn't even have batteries.

Gosh.

I'm wasting my time.

I'm leaving.

Gosh!

TWO DAYS BEFORE EXPIRATION OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

Heon-gi, take some photos.

Gosh.

The skeleton.

Anything strange?

Strange?

You're the strangest.

You're too dignified to visit haunted locations.

How did you find

the corpse?

Well…

And… why did you call me?

Did you want to play another game?

Figured it's better to contact someone I know.

Well…

I know this will sound crazy.

But can you compare that skeleton's DNA

with Seo Hyung-joon's,

the suspect in the Kim Yoon-jung kidnap case

15 years ago, no questions asked?

Kim Yoon-jung?

The Kim Yoon-jung abduction case?

It's male.

Looking at the length of the femur, he was about 170 centimeters tall.

How old?

It's not the person you're looking for.

The age doesn't fit.

Looking at the condition of the teeth, he was in his early-to-mid-20s

when he died.

What about the thumb bone?

I need further tests to be sure,

but I think it was cut off with force

by something sharp, like a scalpel.

-Do you have the results? -Yes.

Did you look into it?

There are three current detectives named Lee Jae-han.

I spoke to them all, but none of them knew about the Kim Yoon-jung case.

Are you saying I talked to a ghost?

Why are you looking for this person?

Never mind. Bye.

Gosh, what's going on?

Have I lost my mind?

What is it?

Who are you?

How did you know that was Seo Hyung-joon?

Was it him?

-Was it really him? -Answer me!

How did you know his body was there?

Gosh, this is just insane.

Will you let go?

The only fingerprint found at the scene was his thumb.

But the body we found

was missing a thumb.

Someone cut it off.

The real kidnapper killed Seo Hyung-joon,

cut off his thumb, and left the fingerprints.

So the only person who knew the body was there is the culprit.

How did you

know that?

What's your relationship with Seo Hyung-joon?

That's enough!

Is it true that Seo Hyung-joon's body has been found?

Answer me!

Yes.

Okay, hand me all the files you have.

Who are you to--

We have to find out who killed him and why.

The forensic team is looking over all the evidence now.

-If we find evidence… -It's a 15-year-old case.

It's hard enough to find evidence that isn't contaminated.

Lack of evidence and fading witness memories. That's why cold cases are tough.

-But Seo Hyung-joon was murdered-- -This isn't my call.

The statute expires in 29 hours.

We couldn't solve this for 15 years.

Can you solve it in that time?

Don't make things any worse. Follow the procedure.

What are you doing?

Who was that?

Why do you care?

This case will be closed anyway.

Just go home.

Gosh…

Is he the Kim Yoon-jung case suspect?

-Where was the body found? -Captain.

What condition is the body in?

-Captain! -Captain!

ASST COMM KIM BUM-JOO

Yes.

That'd be great public relations for the police.

I understand.

Come in.

Hi.

Well done.

Jae-han was

right all along.

What do you mean?

Seo Hyung-joon's body was missing a thumb.

The body was left out for 15 years.

Of course, it's been damaged.

The pathologist says it was cut off with a scalpel.

How dare you talk back to me?

Will you take responsibility if Jae-han's case gets exposed, too?

I suppose…

a suicide would look good, right?

Yes, the fax is coming in.

Are you sure?

From 1995 to 2000.

Yes, thank you.

-Let's talk. -Later.

Are you really going to give up?

Detective Cha.

You asked me earlier if I knew the culprit.

Yes, I know.

I saw the culprit.

I saw the person who took Yoon-jung.

I didn't see her face clearly,

but I saw her.

Are you…

telling the truth?

It was not Seo Hyung-joon.

It was a woman who took Yoon-jung.

Why didn't you say anything until now?

Do you think I didn't?

It's not a man!

I did, but no one listened to me.

I trusted them at first. I mean, they were the police.

"If I wait a little while, they'll catch that woman."

"They'll do it someday."

But…

nothing ever happened.

I visited the police station again.

I went back many times and talked to them over and over again,

but nothing happened.

They told me to go back.

Just like before, no one listened.

You people were always like that.

I found out why later.

Revisiting the case meant that the police would have to admit

that there was something wrong with the investigation.

It required them to blame themselves!

Has the suspect's body been found?

Can you tell us the results of the investigation?

Tell us the truth!

CATCH THE CRIMINAL!

Have you found…

the criminal?

Are you going to

ignore this, just like the other detectives?

Detective Cha.

Wait!

Detective Cha.

Do you know why cold cases are the worst?

When you know who the criminal was and why they did it,

you know why and how your family died.

Even though it's hard, eventually you can leave it behind.

But with a cold case,

you don't even know why and how

your loved one died.

You can never let it go.

It's like a living hell.

So are you going to ignore it?

The criminal…

is assumed to have killed himself

after committing the crime.

I apologize

for being so late.

No.

I'm saying I'll catch her.

So stop it. Go back.

How?

It might need the whole police force.

How are you going to do it alone?

Let's do it together.

I'll help you.

I told you.

You're not suited to being a cop.

Don't waste my time. Leave.

There she is.

-Where'd you find the body? -Do you have the results?

You're in charge, right?

-How did you find his body? -Excuse me.

-Where'd you find him? -What was the body like?

I'm sorry.

I can't tell you anything. I'm sorry.

-Did he really kill himself? -No.

He didn't kill himself.

He was killed by someone else.

The real kidnapper killed him.

Stop…

Is that true?

Stop it. Please leave.

-What evidence do you have? -Stop it!

-I'm the first one to find the body. -Stop it!

Seo Hyung-joon was found at Seonil Mental Hospital

with his thumb cut off.

-He didn't kill himself! -Stop it!

Stop him!

The culprit who killed both of them

was a nurse who worked at Seonil Hospital, which closed 15 years ago.

She was in her mid-to-late-30s,

and around 165 centimeters tall.

A nurse who was familiar with scalpels.

Drag him out!

You lived guilt-free for 15 years.

But you're doomed.

We have irrefutable evidence now.

-Are you crazy? -You said you'd find her.

This is the only way.

There's no time.

We have only 27 hours left.

This is the last chance.

Turn on the news.

FALSE REPORTS

No.

He didn't kill himself.

He was killed by someone else.

The real kidnapper killed him!

I'm the first one who found his body.

His body…

was found at Seonil Mental Hospital with his thumb cut off.

-He didn't kill himself! -Who is that?

His body was found at Seonil Mental Hospital with his thumb cut off.

The culprit who killed both of them was

a nurse who worked at Seonil Hospital, which closed 15 years ago.

She was in her mid-to-late-30s, around 165 centimeters tall.

A nurse

who was familiar with scalpels.

You lived guilt-free for 15 years.

But you're doomed.

We have irrefutable evidence now.

-Seo Hyung-joon's death… -Seonil Mental Hospital?

Do we know anyone from there?

-Not sure. -Lieutenant Park,

who found the body insisted Seo Hyung-joon was killed by someone else.

You hear the news?

KANG SE-YOUNG

They mentioned Seonil Hospital.

Twenty-six hours before the expiration of statute of limitations,

there's much interest in whether the police will find the criminal.

I tried my best to stop him.

You jerk!

What are you up to?

I told him to do it.

What?

"He didn't kill himself?"

"The detective in charge also admits this"?

You lost your mind? What did I tell you?

-Are you ignoring me? -I did what you told me to.

You said to follow the procedure.

-What? -Soo-hyun…

The body was found,

and there was evidence of murder.

I also have a witness

who the police ignored 15 years ago.

I thought that investigation was the proper procedure.

-Witness? -I saw it.

The criminal was a woman.

The third level of the jungle gym came to her shoulder.

Given that, she was about 165 centimeters tall.

She was wearing flashy accessories and brightly-colored shoes.

She kidnapped and killed a little girl for her own purpose.

It's highly likely she has a narcissistic personality disorder.

Those people don't trust others and ignore them.

There's no way she colluded with Seo Hyung-joon.

She must've done it alone at first.

Why didn't you answer my call?

But she probably got caught by Seo Hyung-joon.

I don't think she planned it from the beginning. It was too risky.

Hey, kid!

He'd tell her to turn herself in,

or insist on doing it himself.

Turn yourself in.

-That's why she killed him. -I'll report you!

"I'd better kill that person,

and I should pin everything on him."

How to kill a man stronger than herself?

Use a place she knew well and was familiar with.

Somewhere she could find drugs she could use.

-What else is there? -She lured him to the hospital.

Once this is done, you have to…

You're crazy!

She cut off his thumb

and killed Yoon-jung.

She had access to the back of the building that was not open to the public.

Unlike her red lips and high heels, her nails were unpainted.

Because of her job, she couldn't get a manicure.

She must've been a surgery nurse, familiar with scalpels.

You, with no evidence,

believe this fiction, made up by this noob?

-It does sound convincing. -What?

The body was hidden from outsiders. Only authorized personnel had access.

Seeing how his thumb was cut off and the ampoule,

it must've been someone in medical field…

but not a doctor.

This is the Seonil Hospital payroll

from five years before the hospital shut down.

They only had two female doctors.

One was in her 40s. The other was on maternity leave.

Also, Seo Hyung-joon's credit card records show

he purchased brands favored by women in their early 20s.

That was 15 years ago.

She'd be in her mid-30s now.

So, the culprit is

a nurse who worked at the hospital 15 years ago,

and she's currently in her mid-30s.

Seen Ms. Kang? I haven't seen her in a while.

I've been looking for her too, but I haven't seen her.

By the way,

didn't she work at Seonil Hospital?

That news keeps bothering me.

Did you check on the patient in Room 1131?

Do you think you can find her with just that?

YOUNGIN HOSPITAL

There are over 100 nurses in here.

Are you going to meet all of them in time?

We don't have to.

Gosh, can you just be quiet?

We've rallied the press.

Those 100-plus nurses would've seen the news.

Some must know the culprit.

You did that to get a tip-off?

Did you

get any calls?

Not yet.

You punk. Are you kidding?

It'll take at least an hour.

This requires them to doubt a colleague.

At first, they'll tell themselves it's not true.

But if the person behaves suspiciously, they'll call the police.

Suspicious behavior?

I lied that we found irrefutable evidence.

She thought she hid it well for 15 years.

What will she do if she thinks she'll get caught?

She'll do something out of the ordinary.

Like suddenly disappearing,

or packing up her belongings.

What are you doing? Answer it.

Okay.

Homicide Division One.

What?

Kim Yoon-jung abduction case?

Yes, I'm listening.

Homicide Division Two.

-Yes. -Yes.

Okay, I understand.

Thank you.

That was a nurse from Kyungwon Hospital.

The description fits.

Son Da-yeon, 36 years old.

She told the tipster not to mention that she worked at Seonil Hospital,

and left to meet her mom.

This call is from Chungju.

Similar story.

Please allow us to officially investigate.

We're going over everything we found at the crime scene.

If we find something,

we could do a DNA test on the suspect and arrest the culprit.

If something goes wrong,

I'll take full responsibility.

Will you?

Who are you to take responsibility?

Get the suspect to confess,

or find evidence that you have the culprit.

You have less than 24 hours to prosecute the criminal.

Can you do it?

Yes.

If you fail,

you'll pay twice for the incident that happened today.

Soo-hyun will lead the investigation, and Homicide Division Two will support.

Okay.

20 HOURS BEFORE EXPIRATION OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

She was using Seo Hyung-joon's card.

She was addicted to shopping, typical of a narcissist.

She shopped luxury brands that carry limited editions.

Ms. Lee?

Such people like bright colors and unique designs and follow trends.

It's very likely

she'd carry a mirror as a necessity.

What was she usually like?

Was she a big spender?

No, she doesn't even use her card

to pay her mom's hospital bills.

It's not her.

The culprit takes more than she gives.

Such people don't usually have pets.

I'm in Chungju. She didn't work at Seonil Mental Hospital.

She worked at a clinic somewhere in the countryside.

The tipster didn't like the nurse.

The crime process shows

that she's bold and a quick thinker.

She'll do anything to benefit herself.

We must catch her.

KIM YOON-JUNG CASE SUSPECT LOCATION TRACKING

SIX HOURS BEFORE EXPIRATION OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

Yes, this is the Homicide Division.

I'm calling about Kim Yoon-jung case.

Where?

Youngin Hospital in Seoul?

Was she a surgical nurse before she worked at Seonil Hospital?

Yes, that's right.

Where is she now?

She disappeared after the news yesterday.

Her phone's off too.

KANG SE-YOUNG

I felt bad after suspecting my co-worker.

But when I checked her locker,

I noticed some suspicious things.

Youngin Hospital in Seoul?

Yes, I sent you a photo.

Take a look.

What is it?

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

What happened? Did you arrest her?

She's not home. We checked every place she'd be, but couldn't find her.

-What about her cell phone? -It's still turned off.

-Her credit card statement. -Hang on.

-She booked a hotel recently. -Where is this hotel?

It's in Busan, I wrote it there.

It's in Busan.

We have no time. It's past 9:30 p.m.

Call the branch in Busan.

-Tell them to use a chopper or whatever! -Okay.

ONE HOUR AND 40 MINUTES BEFORE EXPIRATION OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

Are you the detective in charge?

Are you Detective Cha Soo-hyun?

What's going on?

Is someone else the culprit?

Have you found the criminal who killed Yoon-jung?

I heard you did.

Please tell me something. Why is nobody talking?

Tell me you found the criminal who killed Yoon-jung.

How did it go?

We're still going through the evidence.

We have only an hour and a half left.

I'm going to the court to wait with the prosecutor. Get a confession.

That's the only way to submit the arraignment.

Kang Se-young. That's you, right?

On July 29th, 2000, you kidnapped Kim Yoon-jung

from outside Jinyang Elementary School,

you got 50 million won from her family,

and brutally murdered her.

Is that true?

I didn't do that.

Why are you doing this to me?

Did you work at Seonil Hospital in 2000?

Yes.

-Where and how did you meet Seo Hyung-joon?

I don't know that person.

You don't know Yoon-jung

or Seo Hyung-joon?

Then why did you disappear after the news?

I didn't disappear.

You should go back now. You did all you can.

What kind of shoes is she wearing?

I don't understand.

Why didn't she pack those designer shoes?

Did you see what she was wearing?

I'm not sure.

I think they were brown.

-Right? -Yes, they were brown.

The color was…

Why was your phone off?

I lost it.

I just took a day off.

You can ask Ms. Yoon.

Ms. Yoon?

Ms. Yoon said she'd tell them for me.

Gosh, you can't do this.

What the heck are you doing?

It's not her. The mug handle was facing left.

The scissors were for a left-handed person.

The owner of the locker, the culprit is left-handed.

It can't be…

The tipster…

Did you say Ms. Yoon?

Who…

is she?

The culprit who killed them both

was a nurse who worked at Seonil Hospital 15 years ago.

She was in her mid-to-late-30s,

around 165 centimeters tall, familiar with scalpels…

Seonil Mental Hospital?

Anyone here from that hospital?

I'm not sure.

What if the culprit is at our hospital?

She's bold and a quick thinker.

She'd do anything for her own benefit.

Did you see the news?

They mentioned Seonil Hospital.

You worked there, too.

She figured out the time left and called.

She misled us to waste our time on Kang Se-young.

YOON SOO-AH

I was wrong.

I was sure she'd run.

She made a trap for the police

to make a mistake, faced with the deadline.

We can't let it end like this.

Just like when she kidnapped the girl 15 years ago,

she's overconfident in her criminal tactics.

She thinks she's better than others,

that she can manipulate and control the police.

I'm sure she's close by.

She must be watching us

being played around.

-Text me her details. -Okay.

Hurry!

What time did you meet her?

Around 7:30 p.m.

Check the security footage from the hospital to the police station.

The license plate is 20-Ma-8178.

Soo-hyun.

40 MINUTES BEFORE EXPIRATION OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

I found her.

She must be close by.

She must be watching us…

being played around.

Yoon Soo-ah.

20 MINUTES BEFORE EXPIRATION OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

If you fail to find the criminal again, what about that poor little child?

Why? What do you think we found?

Okay, she took the bait.

You're doomed.

I think this will be the last message.

What have you done to me?

Take responsibility. You should pay for what you did.

-What is this? -The biggest cold case in Korea.

It'll be worthwhile.

Not all cops are the same.

Why not just tell us not to work?

We don't have enough people. It's impossible.

It's me, Park Hae-young.

I'm Lee Jae-han from Yeongsan Police Station.

Who are you?

That transmission was real.

Is anyone there?

I can save him with this transmission.

Sir!
