SAFETY OF CHILD ACTORS WAS ENSURED

EPISODE 6

The hospital's main control was hacked,
and all doors have shut down.

It'll be hard to restore it from outside.

Where's the bomb squad?

Are you serious?

Just plow through the traffic jam!

People could die here!

Clear the path
for transporting the ER patients.

We can't locate Kwon Seok-joo.

Where's the prison guard?

SOUND RECORD

We can't locate Kwon Seok-joo.

Where's the prison guard?

What's my professor up to?
Is he on an outing?

Interesting.

Car 9371 on standby.

Sir.

Hey! Move all that!

Everyone, move outside!

This way!

Hurry up!

Careful.

Evacuate them!

Move!

Ji-hoon, where are you?
Pick up your phone.

Captain Oh's hostage.

Hey.

Hey!

You little punk.

You texted Gaetal, didn't you?

It's a friend who came here with me.

She's waiting for me.

Can I go now?

You can't keep me here forever.

You're very suspicious.

How and when did you get into that room?

That room is for authorized people only.

You...

You're Gaetal's spy, aren't you?

You little...

Damn it.

Mr. Oh,

we're the bomb squad.

Are you in there?

Yes, I'm fine.

So please remove that bomb first.

You should evacuate first.

Defusing the bomb takes some time.

Damn it. It does?

By the way,

you're really from the bomb squad, right?

We're running out of time.

Don't come out.

Even if the bomb goes or the police come,

just stay in there.

If you want to live, stay there!

Right now,

the bomb squad is here.

They're with the police, right?

Damn it.

Gas.

If you had opened the door,

it would've been a quick end.

What are you doing here?

I...

- You need to get out. Go.
- Wait.

Ji-hoon is in danger.

Captain Oh is holding him hostage.

He said he'd wait here,
but I can't find him.

All my messages are left on read.

He's definitely been taken hostage.

Call Kim Ji-hoon's guardian
from Seorae High and locate him.

It seems Oh has taken him hostage.

What? Goodness.

Get the negotiation team on standby!

It's done, so go wait outside.

Let me come with you.

What if Ji-hoon dies? Please let me come.

Stop it!

I've got a lot on my plate already.

Hey.

Take her outside. Go.

- Let me come with you!
- Let's go.

- Hang on.
- This way.

- Darn it!
- We need to hurry.

FIRE UNDER SURVEILLANCE

MAIN CONTROL

We secured the main control.

Sir, the signal
from Kwon's ankle bracelet is off.

What about Hyun? She was with him.

I can't reach her.

The last signal was
in the hospital's underground parking lot.

Could he have hurt Jjoo?

Yoon-ji, find Kwon Seok-joo.

Jin-soo, Sang-jae, to the ER.

Upstairs!

Jo-dan, take care of the entrance.

And Joo Hyun...

Yoon-ji, get an ambulance ready.

I'll try to unlock the entrance.

Kwon Seok-joo!

Let go! Stop it!

Are you trying to kill him?

I had to knock him out.

Anyway, thanks for saving me.

He almost knocked my head off.

What happened to your ankle monitor?

I had no other choice.

I had to cut it off

to make the police come here.

That was the only way to chase Gaetal.

Gaetal? But the superintendent
is dealing with him right now.

We caught him
for planting a bomb in the ER.

- And...
- He used to deliver packages to my place.

He should know me well.

Gaetal detonated a bomb
to get Captain Oh,

and Oh's holding
a student hostage. It's a mess.

A student?

The student from Seorae High.

Give him first aid and get him out.

ONE MINUTE

Keep an eye on him. He's a suspect.

Wait!

Step back.
Don't even think about anything funny!

I have nothing to lose right now.

Kill me if you want to!

But are you going to kill this boy
just to get me?

Do it if you dare. I have nothing to lose!

Back off!

You clever asshole.

You're making it so hard to kill you.

Blame your dumbass brain, you bastard.

Move forward.

Please don't kill me!

Oh Jung-ho,
for the murder of Lim Yoo-jung,

I sentence you to death.

Stop!

Drop the knife. It's all over now.

Don't shoot. This room is filled with gas.

Ji-hoon?

Whether you kill him or not,
you'll be arrested.

So stop it here.

Do you know him?

Isn't it better to be
remembered as someone

who sought justice?

Money. I'll give you money.

If you don't kill me,
I'll give you as much money as you want.

- Shut it!
- You've been caught anyway.

So just take the money and let me live.

Money sounds great.

Why didn't you ask for money too?

When that woman came to you
asking to erase the video,

you raped her again.

You filmed that
and spread it online again.

You blackmailed her,
forced her out again, and again!

Detective,
if that happened to your family,

would you still be opposed to killing him?

Tell me.

Do you really want
to save this scumbag's life?

Seeing this scumbag live a good life...

I don't like it either.

So let's make it miserable enough

to make him give up on life.

Within the law.

You've got to be kidding me.

God damn it!

Look where that stupid bitch got me.

Just shoot him.

Shoot him, damn it!

Just shoot him, you coward!

- Oh Jung-ho!
- Kill him!

Ji-hoon!

Ji-hoon. Are you okay?

Let's go.

Let's go!

Superintendent!

Jin-soo, Oh Jung-ho!

Darn it.

Ji-hoon, are you okay?

Snap out of it, Ji-hoon.

Ji-hoon!

A man suspected to be Gaetal,
the mastermind of The Killing Vote,

was apprehended
at a hospital in Seoul today.

The suspect was shot
following a confrontation with the police,

but the injury is reportedly
not life-threatening.

And there were no additional casualties.

However, the third person
targeted by The Killing Vote,

Oh Jung-ho,

also known as "Captain Oh,"
was killed by Gaetal at the scene.

So far, Gaetal has executed Bae Gi-chul...

What's going to happen
to our show for The Killing Vote now?

What do you think will happen?

Don't you know "The show must go on"?

The identity and motives

of Gaetal have yet to be revealed.

What's wrong with her?

She needed more people
to die for her show,

but she's bitter now that it's over.

...will conduct the investigation.

You were lucky.

It missed the main artery.

With proper treatment, it won't
even leave a scar. So don't worry.

He's a minor, so he'll also receive
counseling for victims.

I'll inform his guardian about it.

I had no idea you'd be here.

I'm sorry you're always
in these awful situations.

What's your grandmother's number?

I'll explain what happened.
She must be worried.

That man...

He's really dead, right?

Hey, Kim Ji-hoon!

What are you doing?

I thought you were dead!

I...

- I'm sorry.
- Why didn't you pick up the phone?

I was worried about you.

Why didn't you run
for your life, you idiot?

Why did you make me buy the sandwich?

If I'd been by your side,

this horrible thing
wouldn't have happened to you.

Excuse me. Am I invisible?

Hey, you're the one who didn't pick up...

Are you okay?

Why aren't you saying anything?

I'm hurt too!

- Did you hurt your head?
- I said I'm fine.

Oh, my gosh. Look at all the blood.

Why did you do that?

Why?

What are you doing?

What do you think you are doing?

Someone has died because of him.

How is that our fault? It's...

Damn it.

If it weren't for the sprinkler,
Oh wouldn't have died.

Why did you do that?

You wanted to kill him too.

Isn't that what matters?

You crazy...

Superintendent!

Reporters are flooding in,
so let's send him back.

If they find out about him,
we'll get in big trouble.

We've caught the culprit.

Hey, that man had no fingerprints
on any of his ten fingers.

In any case, Oh Jung-ho was a civilian.

We failed to keep him safe,

so the superintendent is pretty upset.

I understand.

Let's go before people recognize him.

Let's go.

I'll get him a new tracker.

I didn't know it'd break so easily.

NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

Name?

Your name.

Resident registration number?

You have no ID, of course.

And you've mutilated
all your fingerprints.

Open your mouth.

Open up.

Wider.

You should've erased
your dental records to avoid the DNA test.

Or at least remove your teeth.

Did you know
the late Lieutenant Lim Yoo-jung?

Were you close?

It was an adequate case
for The Killing Vote.

I guess my question was too hard.

I'll make it much easier for you.

Number One Fan.

Are you the Number One Fan?

How do you know Kwon Seok-joo?

Why did you approach him?

Will this reduce my sentence?

Then, let's say I know him.

If you were Gaetal,
you'd say you know him very well.

Didn't you guys prepare
yourselves for this?

You didn't do this on your own.

Where are the others?

Oh Jung-ho, Bae Gi-chul, Uhm Eun-gyeong.

I killed them all by myself.

And the broadcasts were pre-recorded.

The public gladly voted to kill them,

because I made sure
to select ones who deserved to die.

So it wasn't that hard...

You're admitting to murder
without telling your name.

Does that make sense?

It's not working, you bastard.

Tell me who you're working with!

He's Jung Jin-wook.

I told you Jung Jin-wook's dead.

Lieutenant Lim's fiancé. He died on duty.

They sometimes fake the deaths
of soldiers in special operations.

And they're discharged
with new identities.

That burn scar on his neck
must be from removing his service number.

Let's get his blood for a DNA test
and ask Jo-dan for his military records.

They must have his DNA
for identification purposes.

He started The Killing Vote
to avenge his girlfriend's death?

What about the first two victims?

Did he kill them just to fool us?

It doesn't add up.

He cut Oh Jung-ho's jugular in one swipe.

He's professionally trained
in ways to kill.

Come in.

Wait.

I'm glad the guard didn't come.

Are you sure about this?

This is the least I can do for someone

who saved my life.

Oh, that's...

You seemed very worried, so...

Let me see.

You should've asked us to treat you.

You're more foolish than I thought.

Take these.

Thanks for everything.

I'll go upstairs for a bit.

Okay.

By the way,

in case you haven't noticed,

I'm placing
a great deal of trust in you now.

There are CCTV cameras everywhere
in this neighborhood.

Even if I ran away, I'd be caught soon.

Come and catch me, Dad!

Wait up!

Are you going into the tent?

- No.
- Are you going there?

No!

- Yay!
- Yay!

- The bunny wants to fly.
- Does it?

Something like a cake.

Meat.

- Why did you go into my daughter's room?
- Well...

That's where I was hit in the head
by someone we suspect is Gaetal.

And I was hit hard.

Considering where he hit me,

it was the same guy we arrested yesterday.

But his physique seemed different
from Gaetal's in the test video.

But the video
was definitely recorded there,

so I wanted to double-check the details,
like the furniture and photos on the wall.

There was

a test video?

While I was investigating
a cybercrime case before this one,

I found the video on a zombie computer.

I'm not entirely sure he is Gaetal.

He doesn't fit the profile,
and something seems off.

Although there's one thing

he has in common
with the man in the video.

Rage from losing their loved ones.

The intense desire to kill the culprit.

The Gaetal from the test video
seemed to have that too.

The superintendent must not have noticed,

but I could see that.

And I understood it.

Lady Justice wears

a blindfold because she's afraid
of bias in decisions.

That always bothered me.

If you don't look at cases
and the people involved clearly,

how can one pass fair judgment?

Can judgments without experience be right?

Only after losing my daughter

did I realize I was qualified
to judge others.

If you understand Gaetal

for the reason I believe,

I feel...

deeply for you.

So this must be you,

and this must be your daughter.

This person can't be her mother.
It looks like a man.

He was the best friend

of my daughter.

You said Superintendent Kim didn't notice,

but I don't think so.

I'm sure he did.

What?

That terrible rage.

He knows what it's like.

Goodness gracious!

You bastard.

I'm your boss, you know.

Why disband the investigation unit
when we haven't solved anything?

We caught Gaetal.

We just need to wrap it up now.

So why spend a fortune
on maintaining the unit?

Squads are up in arms
about being short-staffed.

People have died because of him.

And the suspect hasn't even said his name.

He's not talking because he's Gaetal!

The commissioner says
he'll give you all the credit.

So let's just wrap it up here.

Didn't you say you wanted
to join the HQ Investigation Team?

Let's say Jung Jin-wook's
not the head of Gaetal's gang.

But guys like him
are attention-seeking losers.

By disbanding the unit, we can show them
that we've arrested the culprit,

so no matter what they do from now on,
they'll be nothing but copycats.

Then, the culprit will either give up
or lower their guard.

Is that the official stance of the police

when it comes to treating a felon?

We deal with crimes

as an organization, not as individuals.

We look at the big picture.

Send Kwon Seok-joo back too.

To indict him for premeditated murder,

the prosecution needs proof
he brought the gas tanks.

A medical device transportation vehicle
had been parked there for days.

It looks like the hacker
couldn't gain access

to footage from a few days ago.

As the superintendent said, the suspect
has been identified as Jung Jin-wook.

He was the fiancé
of the late Lieutenant Lim.

He once went to see Oh Jung-ho
to blame him for Lim's death.

Just as he was about to kill Oh
with an illegal weapon,

the military police arrived, but who knows
if that was a good or bad thing.

Since it was a serious case,

the military reported Jung Jin-wook dead,

gave him a new identity,
and discharged him.

Here.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Has he been doing
only contract work since?

Yes, and his longest job
was as a security guard.

Guess where he worked.

SAEHYEON HOSPITAL

No wonder why he was familiar
with the hospital floor plan.

We could use this as proof.

Nice work, Cyber Bureau.

Thank you.

- Wait. Rewind that.
- Yes, sir.

Keep rewinding.

I don't see anything suspicious.

No one got out of the car.

Exactly.

You're at the hospital,
but why aren't you getting out?

- Where's the superintendent?
- On the rooftop.

If you understand Gaetal

for the reason I believe,

I feel

deeply for you.

Anything that wasn't recorded
that's bothering you?

No.

Send Kwon Seok-joo back tomorrow.

Why? We haven't solved the case.

We've arrested the culprit.

We had him at the scene,
but there's no proof he did it alone.

We still don't know
who killed Bae's wife.

Yesterday's vote wasn't pre-recorded.

You know it was live.

That means there is
at least one accomplice.

We can't stop here.

Send him back.

Why do you

hate Kwon Seok-joo so much?

Is it something
besides his daughter's case?

Something happened
between you two, didn't it?

Kwon Seok-joo even said

you may be Gaetal.

I told you not to let him toy with you.

He has you totally fooled.

There's still so much we can get from him!

I have to analyze Gaetal's speaking habits
and his relationship with Kwon...

Kim Mu-chan, you asshole!

You have no respect for my investigation!

MIN JI-YOUNG'S FAMILY

MIN POSTS FAMILY PHOTO ON SOCIAL MEDIA
"LOVING HUSBAND AND THREE KIDS"

Sir, you have to see this.

Let's investigate Jung Jin-wook's house
and the people around him.

- Can we transport Kwon tomorrow?
- This is urgent.

Remember Assemblywoman Min's son,
Lee Yun-seong?

He was at that hospital yesterday.

Why are you so quiet?
You asked me to come.

You insisted on coming.

Why aren't you coming
to school, scaredy-cat?

Think of it objectively.

That man deserved to die,

and nobody cries
over the death of someone like him.

I killed him.

"This scumbag shouldn't be alive."

That's the only thought I had.

That devil was set free
by our incompetent legal system.

If he wouldn't be punished
by the law or by God,

I thought he should at least
be punished the people.

But...

But seeing him die because of me...

My parents

died because of a repeat drunk driver.

I know who he is and where he lives.

I spy on him sometimes.

If somebody is willing to kill him for me,
I'd let them do that.

I'm sure those who had to suffer
because of him will agree.

He didn't die because of you.

Hey, do you want to try some alcohol?

My sister taught me how to drink.

- Are you crazy?
- Scaredy-cat.

Then, promise me you'll have
your first drink with me when we graduate.

Cheers.

Come on. Play along.

Cheers.

Number One Fan will definitely
reach out to you again.

Let me know right when he does.

Aren't you sending me back
because you caught the culprit?

We both know
the real Gaetal hasn't been caught.

But the higher-ups don't think so.

A lot of people saw you at the scene too.

So go back for now.

He doesn't know you're out.

That persistent bastard
has been writing to you for five years.

He won't quit
just because his accomplice was caught.

He'll never stop.

So we'll pretend we stopped
the investigation and set a trap.

You were like this back then too.

Actually, you've always been like this.

You wouldn't think twice
about setting a trap.

Eight years ago,

DNA from two people was found
on my daughter's doll.

One was Byun Woo-taek,

and the other one was never identified.

But you know who it is.

The ones who killed Na-rae.

You know Byun Woo-taek

had an accomplice.

Is this a crime scene?
Is it a homicide or accident?

When's the briefing?

Please tell us about the case.

What's the culprit's motive?

Please say a word!

Was this homicide?

Exactly how...

Who is it?

I don't know.

You set a trap but failed to catch them.

And I thought Byun was the only culprit.

Tell me now.

Who is it?

If I tell you, will you go kill him too?

After killing someone,
murder's a piece of cake now?

I wished

you were Gaetal.

Due to your misguided goodwill,

you lost the culprit,
and due to that regret,

and I wished you were punishing the devils
who were deemed innocent!

Is it...

really not you?

I'm a cop.

Then, who are you suspecting?

If you're suspecting

that person from eight years ago...

If you're using me as bait
to set a trap to catch him, go ahead!

However,

if you miss him again,

this time...

I'll never forgive you.

No.

I won't.

EIGHT YEARS AGO, ACCOMPLICE

What is he saying?

Gosh, this is so frustrating!

What the hell did he say?

IS HE THE CULPRIT OR AN ACCOMPLICE?

DELETED AT SUBJECT'S REQUEST

"Kim Mu-chan knows what it's like too."

"Kim Mu-chan knows..."

Does he...

feel for Kim Mu-chan too?

Gosh, what does that even mean?

- Are they in love or what?
- Gosh!

You scared me.

What did he say at the end?

Hyun.

Shouldn't Ji-hoon receive counseling?

He's acting so weird.

He thinks Captain Oh died because of him.

He's skipping school too.

He seems super depressed.

The worst I've ever seen.

Really? That's worrisome.

I'll talk to him.

- There's not a lot left!
- Don't be so stingy.

I need this to stay awake and study.

I appreciate your cooperation.

- These are all mine.
- Don't take them all!

Gosh, I can't believe her.

Of course.

I totally understand.

As much as we appreciate
the police's hard work,

we as the press must also take
the viewers' needs into consideration.

This is killing me too.

She's grilling me like crazy
as if she's my boss.

Sir.

She has no idea what's going on,
so she wants to play by the book.

And the higher-ups scold us
for not following trends.

Commissioner, please cut me some slack.

I understand what position you're in.

Remember I promised to treat you
like my older brother?

Just trust me. Yes, sir.

What?

You canceled the new show
for The Killing Vote.

Of course. How could we when Gaetal
has been caught? It's old news.

You'll ignore the promise to the viewers?

Despite over 20,000 complaints
on our message boards?

Didn't you hear what I said?

Gaetal has been arrested.

What kind of idiotic show chases
a culprit who's been caught?

If Gaetal has been arrested,

then we can make a new Gaetal.

What?

It'll look like you came back to prison
and then received a pardon.

The lawyer we've appointed
will visit you soon.

By the way,

do you still think
our superintendent might be Gaetal?

It's just strange to me

you'd suddenly claim that
without any evidence.

It's not like you.

At the end of every semester,

I used to say this to my students.

"Don't trust everything that I teach you."

"If your own research,

then you'll find a different answer."

REVEAL THE TRUTH
OF MY DAUGHTER'S WRONGFUL DEATH

What do you want?

This man almost became your son-in-law.

You don't know him?

Move aside.
You're blocking my daughter's photo.

It doesn't matter if you don't know him.

He made a confession.

But if we leave him be,
he'll get in serious trouble.

He doesn't seem interested in living on.

Your daughter knew this,
she wouldn't like that.

Jin-wook.

What are you doing here?

Why are you in there?

Yoo-jung wouldn't have wanted this.

Actually, no. You did a great job.

I'm proud of you, son.

I would've killed him
if he were in front of me.

He's innocent.

This is all my fault.

This happened to my kids

because of my incompetence and misfortune.

He doesn't belong here.

Open this door.

Open it!

I'm sorry,

Mr. Lim.

You have to move on!

Only then can you live!

I have an accomplice.

CYBER BUREAU

Why won't you join me?

I don't have hiking clothes.

Come on. Just buy one.
It's not even that expensive.

I'll do it soon, sir.

I'll let you know, okay?

Who's getting cute with me here?

If you want to peep at others,

you should pay for it.

Darn it.

Darn it.

What the hell?

How could a civilian have access
to Lockhart security program?

It's so expensive.

Even I've never used it before!

Hold on.

DETAILS

AT 11:15 P.M., MARCH 15, 2023

It's just after the second Killing Vote.

Something smells fishy.

Something's definitely fishy.

We agreed he'd be in charge
of the technical aspects

and I'd be out in the field.

We've only communicated online
through the dark web.

I've never met him in person before.

By "in the field,"

do you mean the killing?

If it was for revenge,
you could've killed just Oh.

Why join something
as cumbersome as the Killing Vote?

Because I didn't want to be
just another murderer.

I started this because of Yoo-jung,

but we've never killed just random people.

We carefully selected people

who were nothing but harmful
to this society.

And the voting results proved it.

Stop the bomb, you bastard!

Unbelievable.

No matter what you say
to justify what you did,

under Korean law, you'll be charged
with the crime of premeditated murder.

Name of your accomplice.

Number One Fan.

He furiously said we're condemned

to watch the devils
who were deemed innocent walk free

just because we were born
in a country with a constitution.

He also said
the person he admired the most

was now locked up in prison

for pursuing justice.

I found out it was Professor Kwon Seok-joo

after looking into the cases
he'd mentioned

from time to time.

What was his relationship with him?

Since he often used
the word "admire" to describe him,

I thought he might have been his student.

Then one day, he said

that he had destroyed the person
Kwon Seok-joo loved the most,

so Kwon must hate him.

Your breathing sounds fine.

Nothing has worsened.

I was worried because you didn't come
for a checkup last time.

The guard said you went
to the disciplinary unit,

but other inmates guessed
you had been transferred.

You know a lot of things
that happen here cannot be shared.

You're right.

But when it comes to sharing,
kids these days seem even worse.

My grandson never shares anything with me,
and it frustrates me so much.

A few days ago,
he almost got seriously hurt,

and I didn't know
because he didn't tell me.

So he's not hurt badly?

It's just a scratch.

It seems he's pretty shocked.

He's always been quiet,
but he's quieter than usual.

It hurts me to see him like that.

He's still a kid, after all.

When I'm released,
I'll make sure to visit your hospital.

It'll be more effective
to keep receiving treatments from you.

I guess I can't retire until then,
Inmate 0512.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
LEE YUN-SEONG

RECORD OF STATEMENTS

Na-rae, you always look so adorable.

She's an elementary school girl
living next door.

I've seen her around.

One day, we said hi to each other,

and I noticed
he kept staring at her afterwards.

It was a little strange.

It was the night
after the girl went missing.

I saw Woo-taek leaving the house
with a pink backpack.

I didn't ask him where he'd been.

Wait.

TIRE PRESSURE

What the hell?

Come on.

Damn it.

What the...

You've got to be kidding me.

Are you here for Min?

Lee Min-soo, the teacher at Seorae High.

He did change his name.

His original name was Lee Yun-seong.

And I found out
that Seorae High School's Foundation

is run by Assemblywoman Min's family.

That means Lee Min-soo was born
with a silver spoon in his mouth.

But he's too young to be a teacher.

He dropped out of middle school,

got his GED through homeschooling,

and graduated early from college abroad.

He got pretty good grades too.

Anyway, since his family runs
a private school foundation,

he must've gotten his teaching job easily.

He's always been a smart kid.

He even...

I wonder why he majored
in philosophy of law though.

Because most of the awards
he won in the US

are related to computer science.

Are there any hacking-related ones?

Yes, definitely.

He even ranked fourth
in an international competition.

He must be good
at both liberal arts and science.

I've got to ask this question.

Let's say the person Kwon Seok-joo
loved the most was his daughter.

And he killed her murderer himself.

So why are we suddenly
investigating Lee Min-soo now?

I can explain.

Back then, there was a boy
Superintendent Kim suspected

of being an accomplice.

The house owner's son.

But we had to let him go
due to a lack of evidence.

And he's Lee Min-soo?

There's one more thing.

Lee Yun-seong...

I mean, Lee Min-soo's mother,
Assemblywoman Min Ji-young,

attended Kwon Seok-joo's final trial.

She knew "the devils
who were deemed innocent."

Are you okay?

Yes. I had a guest over last night,
so I couldn't sleep well.

I see.

I just learned your mother
is Assemblywoman Min Ji-young.

There's some history
between the two of us.

She was once investigated

because of an illegal DDoS attack, right?

Wait.

Hold on.

Were you the investigator

who hacked our server
and found the hacker?

What a small world.

At the time,
because of her incompetent aide,

it was really tough on my mother.

My family isn't really
on good terms with the police.

I see.

About eight years ago,

I was even suspected of being a murderer.

I didn't know that.

I thought that was
why you came to meet me.

No, that wasn't why...

Where are we going now?

This isn't the way to our police agency.

NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

Hello?

Is this Mr. Lee Min-soo?

I'm Lieutenant Choi Jin-soo
from the Killing Vote investigation unit.

Why am I being called
by the investigation unit?

We just wanted to check if you heard
that your student, Kim Ji-hoon,

was held hostage
before Gaetal was arrested.

You did hear about it.

We'd like him to come in
and make a statement.

And we were wondering

if you could come with him
as his guardian.

From what I know,

he's supposed to be
accompanied by his parents.

Given the severity of the case,

we're trying to keep this investigation
as discreet as possible.

When parents get involved,
things often get more complicated.

You know what I mean.

Right. Having me as his guardian

will make it look more trustworthy
to the school too.

Okay. I'll be there with Ji-hoon tomorrow.

Sir, this is Joo Hyun
from the Cyber Bureau.

Lieutenant Joo?

He's driving me to our agency now.

I'll see you in a bit.

We're here.

It's a new road. I guess you didn't know.

I guess I didn't.

It's my first time hearing about it.

About what we were discussing...

Let's continue next time. It'll be fun.

Sure.

Thank you.

What a jerk.

It always comes up.

You seem to really like attention.

I am indeed an attention-seeker.

What are the ratings for this TV show?

It has the most views,
both weekly and monthly.

Report it to the chairman's secretary
and request production support from HQ.

Make sure I'm on the show next month.

I'll make it look like it was their idea.

Those kind of shows don't suit you.

Why don't you try some other shows
about education or fashion?

TV show ratings are proportional
to approval rates these days.

Look at Kang slowly earning
votes through that show.

Fashion programs won't do.

Call the chief secretary now.

Yes, ma'am.

This is where Jung,

the suspected mastermind
of The Killing Vote, was apprehended.

As you can see...

That case is similar
to the Kwon Seok-joo case.

To avenge his daughter's death,
he also killed a man.

It's understandable though.
His family member died.

By the way, Yun-seong.

Yes?

Why are you killing people again?

You got me.

I can never seem to fool you, Mom.

By the way, Mom.

I have a present for you.

You're going to love it.

This will be a wake-up call
for the criminals...

Meanwhile, questions have risen
over the use of guns

and potential excessive force
during the arrest process.

NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

Shall we?

Wait.

Let's go.

FROM NUMBER ONE FAN
TO KWON SEOK-JOO

Let me report
last week's opinion poll results.

MIN-SOO

HERE'S YOUR GIFT

Do you want to have The Killing Vote,

Mom?

Do you remember me?

How could I forget you?

You killed Kwon Na-rae, didn't you?

You suspect...

my teacher may be Gaetal, right?

There's no reason for it.

He said his accomplice destroyed
the person you loved the most.

This looks like our schoolyard.

I got you.
