Original subtitles

Early Winter, 2005

Another bottle please

I'm sorry

Where's my drink?

Ma'am, where's the remote?

Drop the knife!

Drop it, you fuck!

Please... don't let him kill me...

Her blood is on your hand now

Ma'am!

Towel!

Stop, you fuck!

Motherfucker!

Stop!

Put your fucking hands in the air!

That's enough

Turn around!

On your knees!

Hands on your back!

I'll... kill you...

You're scared, aren't you?

You killed her too, didn't you?

What did you do?

Answer me, motherfucker!

I should slit your mother's throat next

No, not yet

I have big plans for you later

15 years ago

after killing 10 women

the suspect disappeared into this dark alley

His statute of limitations express today

We met up with the lead detective on the case Lt. Choi Hyung-gu

Sir, how about a word to the suspect who may be watching now

There 3 one thing I want to tell you

please stay alive

Korean dicks are just glorified, low-level hoodlums

I was watching that

Huh?

Buddy!

How dare you switch the channel when I'm on it!

Lt. Choi, please leave

I can't see you this way any more

Go

Please

Hey, Hyun-sik

Do you remember how many titles I defended?

Yeah, 6 Asian titles

I wanted to win World Championship and place the belt on mom's grave

Hyun-sik, are you home now?

Let's talk in person

I was pretty much an orphan after what happened to mom

You treated me like your real brother

I won't forget it

Hyun-sik!

Jung Hyun-sik!

Hyun-sik!

What are you doing up there!

How'd your mom feel if she saw you like this in heaven?

You have to see him suffer and die! You can do this after that!

I know how you feel, so come down and let's talk

Hyung-gu, I'm sorry...

Hyun-sik!

Jung Hyun-sik, 1973-2005

CONFESSION OF MURDER

2 years later, late autumn, 2007

Hyung-gu! You got a call!

Answer your phone!

Still dead of the night!

What? What time is it mom?

I'm sick and tired of your drunken stupor!

Answer it!

Gwang-su, I told you I help mom on weekends

new cases can wait until Monday!

Help me with what, you do nothing but sleep!

When did I not help? What?

Turn what on?

Lee Doo-suk, the author of 'Confession of Murder'

revealed that he is the killer of an unsolved serial killing case

that shook the nation 17 years ago

The press conference is already heating up due to the fact that the writer confessed

after the expiration of statute of limitations

Lee Doo-suk is stepping in now

Thank you everyone for coming to the launching press conference

This book was written to sincerely repent for his crimes,

so please refrain any offensive questions

Yes?

What's the point of confessing after evading formal investigation,

and committing the perfect murder?

'The point of confessing'...

It may be hard to believe...

but I'd say it's out of guilt

And I wish others would share my guilt

Guilt trip after all these years?

What a load of shit

Can you let him continue?

Let's hear him out

Mr. Lee!

As you can see you'll be criticized and chastised mercilessly,

are you afraid of anything?

My confession will bring immediate chaos,

but I hope these ghastly cases do not occur through this book

You're a very handsome man

How do you take care of your skin?

That's the best you can do?

We shouldn't allow female reporters to question

Is there a proof that you're the real killer?

You'll find sufficient descriptions of the murders in the book

And Lt. Choi!

I guess he's not here today

I'm sorry. . . for What I did to you

Honey, isn't he talking about you?

The bullet that Lt. Choi fired, is still inside me

This is an x-ray of the slug

Can you show us your bullet wound?

It'll be distributed nationally tomorrow,

and online reservation starts midnight today

We wish for your glowing endorsement

The site is overloaded Please try again later

Shit, I was gonna read for a change...

Can you give us a comment?

Tell us how you feel! Mr. Lee!

How do you feel?

Will you give me some room!

Mr. Lee, why don't you repent tomorrow when it's sunny?

Did you pick today because of the rain?

Let's just to this tomorrow!

- Give me that umbrella! - This is mine!

Doctor! Doctor! How do you feel?!

How do you feel?!

A comment please!

Please accept... my apology...

Snap it!

Mr. Lee! How do you feel now? One comment please!

Mr. Lee Doo-suk!

Will you repent to remaining families of the victims too?

I'm stunned...

So he's the real killer, but no way to lock him up

You sure about that?

Will you take responsibility for it?

I don't even co-sign for my dad, why would I do that?

I'm just saying

Idiot...

Don't you agree? You were there too

A fraud can't be this vivid with the details, it's bulletproof

Bulletproof? Nothing's ever without holes

You're talking about the last missing case,

that's probably not his work

I thought this was a violent crime unit?

When did it become a library? It looks nice!

Well, isn't this the tragic hero, Mr. Choi?

What's with you?

You're a celebrity now, fucker

In any case, is that bastard Lee real deal?

So what if he is, we can't even lock him up anymore

Lee Doo-suk may not be the killer, idiot!

Look at his face

does he look like a killer?

Don't you smell something fishy? Come on, sniff!

I think I smell Chinese, sir

Your meal's here!

Did you wait for the cue?

How could you eat Chinese at a time like this?

You can't figure out what's what with an empty stomach, goddammit!

What did you just say, asshole?!

So we starve until the job's done?

It's not like we can afford anything other than Chinese anyway

You're crawling up my ass lately

I'd fire you, if you weren't my Academy junior...

I'm hungry. Order us some too!

Yo Chink, let's make another drop 3 noodles and plenty of radish

You slutty whores, get your own fucking radish!

Look at this fucking asshole

- I'll... - Hey!

What a fucking horror case

Lt. Choi! Lee Doo-suk wishes to formally offer his apology,

Out! Everyone out!

This is a police station, not a street market!

400,000 copies sold in 3 days,

as the former officer in charge, what's your opinion on the matter?

Could we do this after lunch?

Is he referring to you when he said 'someone will feel the guilt'?

Get out!

Get out now!

God damn it!

Let me eat in peace!

- Please tell us! - Everyone out!

It's Lee Doo-suk!

Please step out of the way

Mr. Lee!

What are you up to?

It's been a while, Lieutenant

Get that hand out of my face

Is this your entourage?

Not so happy to see me after all these years?

Come on, smile for the camera

- Shut your fucking trap! - Same old foul mouth.

Holy shit! Is he nuts?!

Move aside!

Yo Lee, have you eaten yet?

What?

Eat this shit, motherfucker!

Have some more!

Hey! give me the gun!

Mr. Kang Do-hyuk

Who are you?

Welcome back

'Amateur HQ' sign would complete the look

I'll be with you!

My bladder's about to burst,

should I piss in my pants?

Shit!

You, you're Kang-sook?

Get your pants up

That brat, not a shred of shame!

This is all there is to victims' families?

After inquiring around,

only a few of us will get involved in this matter

Forget it

But madame, do we have to get involved ourselves?

Aren't there some shady men you can hire?

Look! A white snake!

Do-hyuk's here!

You've grown old

Want a bowl of snake soup?

Drop this nonsense and sit down!

Couldn't assemble a worst group even if I tried

'Confession of Murder's breaking bestseller records,

He's so radiant

You gotta be beautiful even to commit crimes nowadays

It's his willingness to repent that makes him attractive

Why don't you join his fan club then?

Fan club? I'm too old for that... but I should try.

Are we celebrating his stint on our show?

Station chief, we were able to get Lee...

So did you get the Lieutenant or not?!

Sir, I think we need to rethink about Choi

The last outburst is reason enough...

If we put them in the same room during a live show,

we can't predict what he'll do

Get them, whatever it takes! Or clear out your desks!

Chief, it's not that...

He could shoot him dead on the air!

Producer Park,

if he kills on live television,

it'll be an exclusive, a major one!

Get Choi!

What did he whisper before you stuffed his face?

He asked me to do it

Look how well he manipulates the media

He comes off as a saint

I'm using the media too!

Sure, you're giving them plenty to write about

idiot...

By the way, my spidey senses are tingling

I think he has an ulterior motive

Repent, clean up his image and start a business

Like those celebrities

Stop your yapping

You got a call

Hello?

Yes, this is he

What debate?

How do you control the media so well?

It was so clever to repent to the doctor

One clean slap!

If you went to those other hicks,

they'd have tried anything to get a piece of the pie!

And what a brilliant idea to seek Choi!

You planned this all, didn't you?

So smart

You already know what'll happen at the debate, right?

No, thank you It's too early to celebrate

You don't smoke, nor drink

You take care of yourself too much

Is this funny?

That a killer is taking care of himself?

Is it?

No, it looks good...

You're a celebrity now, you must maintain your image

Should I reserve a skin clinic?

Fuck that shit

Kidnap?

I'll do it myself, just sit back and have some ice cream

Load of shit

If you kill him before I find out where my daughter is buried

I will kill you myself

Kill me?

You will?

Are we your pawns?

Why should I risk my life for your daughter?

Hey!

Go, do your own thing

What did I tell you

we don't need village idiots who get locked up

What did you say?!

Do you know why I was locked up?

I was out looking for this Lee fucker

and I stabbed the wrong bastard in the stomach!

Whenever I saw someone similar

I went after him with a knife in my hand!

Do you know what I wish for the most?

I pray to God to let me kill him with my own hands!

And now that he's out, you get together for a tea party?!

You make me sick!

Sick? Does it look like we're having a ball?

Does it?

You're not the only one in pain

Every night in my dreams

the scream of my dying child

echoes in my head

He doesn't deserve an easy death

I want to cut off his limbs and watch him tremble in pain

and beg for his life

That reason alone kept me alive

I know how you feel, sir

And I know you're suffering too

But won't you let me remove that scar?

This is like a trophy for a detective

And how dare I remove the scar he gave me?

I know what you're going through, but don't torture yourself

'Confession of Murder' Book Signing

What's your name?

It's me Don't you recognize me?

Your name is...

Choi Hyung-go, motherfucker!

Look how popular you are, shitface

Look at this line-up Breaking the bank?

Let go of me, you fucks!

Why are you here, Lieutenant?

I'm here on a government duty

Check out this tough guy

I should get your autograph instead

How does it feel to work for him?

Licking his asshole for a buck, huh?

Sell a ton, motherfucker!

His security detail and cops are always at official events

What else does he do?

He rents out the entire swimming pool at Ecograd Hotel for 30 minutes

The entire pool?

Being in public would compromise his safety

He's got money to burn, and it's good publicity for the hotel

He killed our ladies for a dip in their blood, huh?

But wouldn't he have his bodyguards at the pool?

Sure, but they won't swim alongside

So, what do you want to do?

The plan starts with you

Sir! What is it?

Sir! Sir!

Sir!

Are you alright?

Call 119 Now!

Snap out of it!

How long since the bite?

About 5 minutes

Will he be okay?

Yes, he'll be okay with this antidote

Help us lift him

Which district are you from?

Yongsan district

We're from Yongsan

I think there was a miscommunication

Clearly there was a mistake, and say hello to my knife!

One of you will die by this knife! Get back!

I'll hold them back, get going!

Daddy, just go!

We can't leave him! He can take care of his own ass!

Get back!

Get them!

Eat this!

Stop!

Give me your hand!

Come on!

Hit the brake!

Sir, get in!

Why the hell did they kidnap him in my turf?

Have you traced his location?

His security detail's on them

They're southbound from Sinlim

Sir, where are you now?

I'm right on them!

It's not mom...

Pumpkin, it's alright

Tell me she's okay

Mom's fine

- Lt. Choi's on your tail! - Choi?

What just happened?!

Don't you see, he's onto us! Step on it, old man!

Ok

Step on it!!

I'm stepping on it!

Why doesn't it go any faster?!

Shut up!

Do something!

Will you shut up?!

He's gonna get us this way!

Oh, jeez

We can't get caught

Shit!

Stop the car!

Huh?

Shit, what do we do?

What are you doing!

I'll kill you!

Crazy fuckers!

Give me your hand!

I don't believe this

Grab my hand!

Smash him!

Shit, get close!

Fucker!

Watch out!

Are you fucking nuts!

Stop the car!

Stop!

Hey fucker

Dying!

Pull!

Slow down!

Daddy, stop!

Pumpkin, are you alright?!

Get off of me!

What are you up to?!

Just watch!

Eat this, you fucks!

Goddammit!

I'm serious

It happened so fast, we couldn't do anything

Answer me straight, baldie!

How could there be snakes in a hotel pool?!

I'm serious sir! He was bitten and we called 911

And they showed up as if they were on standby?

That's right

Fuck...

They really planned this out

Lt. Choi!

You can't come in here!

Let's get out of here!

Lt. Choi, a word please!

Have you identified the abductors?

Lt. Choi, a word please!

Kang-sook and her dad live in the mountain, so no fixed address

Do-hyuk was released 2 days ago and won't be easy to track

Should I look into their cells?

They're not stupid enough to use their own cells!

Wait, can 911 call be intercepted?

Oh!

That's probably impossible

I'm heading home for a bit

look into how one might rent an ambulance

Sure

According to the rumors

the abductors are the victims' families, is this true ?

Don't draw your own conclusion!

Do you think he saw us?

He's not deaf, dumb and blind!

We were all over his car

So it's not the victims' families?

Are you all having fun?

Are you?!

Go away;

Could you use gentle words on TV?

Will you turn that off?

That temper of yours...

Hyung-gu

how about we get rid of the car wash and start a coffee shop?

Stop talking nonsense and help me put this on

I hear the women love running coffee shops nowadays

Start a coffee shop with your retirement money

find a wife and live happily ever after!

You know I make tasty coffee, right?

Oh, mom...

Women don't drink old fashion coffee

They only drink coffee those guys make

ameripresso or something

You don't know anything

Why are you putting that on!

You're supposed to put this on!

You should have told me!

Do I have to spell it out? Just forget it!

I'm out for a few days, so don't call!

Where did he get that temper?

In the light of Lee Doo -suk's abduction

the bereaved families have turned into suspects...

How about I talk to them instead?

They planned this meticulously, they won't back down so easily

What did you find out?

I got a hunch, so I looked into special prop vehicles

Here, Kim... Ong-go?

Kim Yong-go

Someone named Kim Yong-gu outright bought it

Do you feel the tingle?

Yeah?

Dig further and report back

Yes, sir!

I went through a lot of trouble to borrow this

Why do you need this anyway?

Do I have to report that to you?

To me you do!

Dammit, you startled me!

Are you going to Iraq?

Since it's collecting dust, I thought I'd clean my attic with it

You'll do what?

Give me your car key

You take me for an asswipe?

You're not an asswipe

I'll bring Lee in myself!

Kim Yong-go is a private dick

His client is Jung Tae-suk, Han Ji-soo's son

Han Ji-soo?

Woori Seafood's chairman?

Yes, there's Jung's cell number too

Get Unit 3 to track their location

His location?

But we need a warrant for that,

it'll take some time

There is none, asshole!

Detective, I can do that instantly

One moment sir. What?

Our specialty is infidelity,

precise and immediate solution

As soon as they enter the motel zone,

we can track their location within one minute!

As soon as they cum, we're all over them

Happy with your work?

YES

Sir, we can track him from here

Okay, then do it

What am I supposed to look at?

Got him?

Yes sir, we got his location now

Where is he?

He's heading to Osan from Suwon

Osan? How far away from me?

7Km, sir.

Osan IC

Okay, he's on Osan IC!

- Which highway? - 23, sir!

- How far away? - 3km!

- What about now? - You're almost on him!

I got him!

Should I send support?

- No, standby! - Sir?

Don't contact anyone until I call you back

What will you do?

How you're going to use it?

He's... he's waking up!

You son of a bitch!

Wake up!

Snap out!

Wake up!

Lee Doo-suk

Where's my child? Jung Su-yun

What did you do to her?

Jung Su-yun...

Yes, Jung Su-yun!

Lieutenant...

What did you do to her?!

What did you do!

What's this?

Blackout?

Does anyone have a cell phone?

Here

What the hell's going on?

Holy shit!

Don't do that, old man!

Don't just stand there, get the switch!

Fuck off

I think something just moved

What moved?

Are you ok?

What the fuck was that?!

Turn on the light!

I can see you, don't do anything stupid!

- Be quiet - What have you got?

- I'm not lying - What is it?

Stay calm!

Lee Doo-suk! Where's my daughter?!

Tell me where she is!

Tell me! Where is she?! Please tell me!

Please tell me!

Are you alright?

- Who are you? - What's wrong? What do you see?

Who's there?!

Who are you?!

Shut up!

Lee Doo-suk's gone!

Where did he go? Find him!

- I got him! I got him! - Let go, that's my leg!

- Daddy, over there! - Where?

Goddammit! Stop right there!

No!

That crazy bitch!

Dammit...

I told you we should've killed him!

The abductors were my overzealous fans

They simply acted out their innocent fantasy

and I came back in one piece

So you won't press any charges against your abductors?

That's correct

I'm the one at fault, how could I blame them?

Will you still attend next week's televised debate?

Of course

It's not just a promise with the network

- I believe that this program... - Lieutenant!

What the hell happened to my car!

Did you drive through a shootout?

You got insurance

That fuck

he's got media on his fingertip

...represents my way of apologizing to the public

Will you really go on TV?

I don't know!

It's nice to cover for the victims' families

but we got arrest rate to consider too

Shut the fuck up!

Where is Hyung-gu!

Choi Hyung-gu! What is that?!

Did you let that happen?

He said he walked out of there

You said you were gonna bring him!

But he walked out on his own, what was I supposed to do?

Goddammit!

Pumpkin

Where are you going?

Gonna go fishing, I feel stuffy

It's chilly now, don't stay out too long

Yeah

Daddy...

Yeah?

Don't worry, go to sleep

Alright, pumpkin!

Lieutenant, please sit over here

Yo imposter, you're a celebrity now?

You're a bit late, Lieutenant

I'm sorry you wrecked your car because of me

Thank you for always looking out for me

You think I got some time to kill?

AD, here's the last commercial

Last commercial!

Please don't doze off, just stay awake for 100 minutes!

Cue!

Over 3 million copies sold in one month,

estimated profit of $20 million,

serial killer-turned-bestselling author, Lee Doo-suk

Why is he repenting after causing so much pain?

Welcome to Public Debate

I am your host Son Jong-hak

The success of 'Confession of Murder' is quite startling

Shall we start the debate with the main factor for its popularity?

Yes, professor Jung

That's a simple question to answer,

it's because the author is a serial killer

Using expiration of statute of limitations as a reason to confess with a book

it's the best marketing strategy, isn't it?

Perhaps he only killed those women,

only to write and market this book

Sir, your creative liberty is off the charts

Sure it is

But this clearly shows an ulterior motive

With the publishing of the book, the author is raking in

a massive amount of wealth through his crime

Wait, what evidence do you have to back up this view?

One moment please, let's clear the air

As expected, the debate is already heating up

Ms. Jang, haven't you evaluated him before his book was published?

At the time, Mr. Lee confessed that his heinous crime would deter others,

and play a small role in preventing further atrocity

Just thinking about our session makes me misty

He talked about that and cried tears of remorse

Please compose yourself

I'm so sorry

During our pre-interview, Lt. Choi defiantly stated that

Lee Doo-suk is not the real killer

Do you have any concrete proof?

To his fans' disappointment, he'll be arrested soon

For fraud

Between 1986 and 1990, 10 women were murdered

Another went missing in that period

but her remains are yet to be found

I am certain that this is also the work of the serial killer,

and this was his final kill

Answer to his accusation is simple

I did not commit that last crime

Or you just don't have access to the information regarding it

Then do you remember what you said to me

when we met that night?

Well, what did I say?

Unlike you, it wasn't a pleasant night for me

Don't people rely on

the power of forgetfulness more than memory?

Forgetfulness?

You certainly talk the talk like a con artist

Did you just say... con artist?

Did I hear that right?

As a human rights lawyer, I find that offensive

Woman, was I talking to you?

Lt. Choi

One moment please

I must apologize

Let's change the pace and get to the calls

You're on the air, what is your name and city?

I'm Lee Bong-ryun, and I own a bookstore in Busan

What is your opinion?

The book is selling like hotcakes,

so I Wanted to personally thank Mr. Lee...

You 're such a hottle, thanks for everything

Speaking of which, how about a book from Mr. Choi too?

Thank you for your comment concerning the need for diverse books

in order to revitalize the publishing industry

Let's get to the next caller

You're on the air, what is your name and city?

As a civil figure, could I stay anonymous?

Please call me 'J'

Yes, of course What is your opinion?

As a fan of Mr. Lee, I wanted to ask a few things

Do you know how fast Lt. Choi runs the 100m?

Well...

I'm told that in his prime, he did it in 12 seconds

You used alleys and roofs during your chase,

you must've avoided straightaways for this reason

Now that I think about it, I think so

Also, I read that you performed a judo flip to pin him down

Do you know judo or other martial arts?

Do I have to be a judo player to use that technique?

No, but I majored judo at College of Physical Education

But Mn not a muscle head I play an instrument too

And cook quite well

I'm sorry, could you state your opinion please?

Ah, right

Do you know that the Lieutenant is terrible with time?

He was late today too

He should really get a good watch

By the way...

I see it now, you're his fan, not mine

- Mr. Lee. - Yes?

You really don't get it, do you?

No, I really don't know

This is why I was never caught

Huh?

J, what do you mean?

Lee Doo-suk, don't put on a show

What a load of shit...

You don't honestly believe that, do you?

Lt. Choi!

Gwang-su!

Lt. Choi!

Have you tracked him?

I'm working on it Get me the location now!

Dangsan-dong, #260

What?!

- She's not answering? - Shit!

Sir! How could you tell us that now?!

How was I supposed to know? I thought she needed some fresh air

You fed her too much snake!

She's out for blood!

If Lee is not the killer, we're really fucked

The public is in a state of turmoil A comment please!

Mr. Lee, how do you respond?

- Who could be doing this? - Is the caller the real killer?

Please don't get swayed by a prank caller desperate for attention

Everyone has the right to speak his mind, but it should not be a lie

What the hell happened?!

What's going on?! Someone do something!

Over there!

Take the picture!

I told you I'd slit your mother's throat if you piss me off

Where's your mother?

Where is he...

Where is this fuck!

Come out, motherfucker!

- Come out, you fuck! - Lieutenant!

- Come out here! - Lieutenant!

Come out here!

- Come out, you fuck! - Lieutenant!

What are you doing?!

You're waking up the entire city in the middle of the night!!

- Mom... - Are you all drunk?

Are you okay?

Why are you sleeping in my room?

I told you my heater's broken!

What's with you, you're not being yourself!

Stay put for a bit

What's got into you all of sudden?

Gwang-su...

Yes sir?

Stay with my mom for a moment

Sir?

- Where are you going? - Hyung-go!

Watch the road!

I'll take it out

Goddammit!

Why did you dress me up for?

You're gonna kill me anyway

Please, let me hear his voice one last time...

Violent Crimes Hello? Hello?

Why did you hit the victim then!

Detective, I'm the victim here!

Hello? What do you Want?

Please don 2' kill me...

I. . . want to live. .

Violent Crimes Hello? Hello?

Why did you hit the victim then!

Detective, I'm the victim here!

Hello? What do you Want?

Why did you hit the victim...

Detective, I'm the victim here!

Hello? What do you...

Detective, I'm the victim here!

I want to live...

Violent Crimes Hello? Hello?

Why did you hit the victim then!

Detective, I'm the victim here!

Hello? What do you Want?

Gwang-su

Yes?

Call a press conference

Find anything?

Tell them I got a major scoop

What's that?

Let's put on a show too

This is a knife that was sent in by J, who claims to be the real killer

After analyzing the blood on it, NIS confirmed that it matches my own

Then are you confirming that J is the real serial killer?

So Lee Doo-suk is an impostor?

We cannot draw a conclusion right now

The slug in his shoulder matches the type that I used at the time,

and while his lack of knowledge on the final case is questionable,

the details he wrote in the book are so accurate

that only the killer could've written it

so who's the real killer then ?

That is all for now

What the hell...

So, they don't know who the real killer is

Considering that J sent in the actual knife, could he be the real thing?

Of course not Don't forget that Lee wrote the book

He couldn't have wrote it without being there

Alright!

Let's get to the next round!

We get all three of them in the debate

We can get Choi and Lee to the table,

but there's no way to get J

You're getting paid to find a way

Producer Park, get the exclusive

But we don't even know J's number...

Then put out an ad

You're not even trying to do your job!

- Is the knife the most decisive evidence? - Hello?

Does this mean J is the real killer?

Treat those reporters with some respect

Who the hell is this?

Don't you recognize my voice?

Buddy! Can't you see the red light?!

I'm sorry

Who the fuck is this?

Your mom was working alone today, why don't you help for once!

You son of a!

Keep them out!

Yes, Lieutenant

Who did you just talk to?

There are many people here

You call yourself a cop?!

What crawled up his ass?

These were taken by my bodyguard during my abduction,

the knife is missing, while cash is intact

It looks like an elaborate ploy

to take credit as the serial killer by stealing my evidence

I don't know who this J is but he sure is an amateur

I will provide further detail at press conference tomorrow

How long are you gonna let Lee run wild like that?

Feeling cocky because of a security detail at the car wash?

I should've slit her throat when I had the chance

Who the fuck are you?

Really? You still don't know?

'I'm the real killer, help me convince the world',

is that why you called?

Of course, you're my ace in the hole

That's why I let you live, you forgot?

Are you getting worked up?

The killer I chased was a calm fucker

Why do you insist Jung Su-yun's dead?

Hello?

What?

Are you serious?

Could you tell us how you feel now?

Are the hospital staff treating you well?

You claim that stole your knife from your room, is this true?

Yes! I think he went after the rights to my identity

but he couldn't be any more wrong

Today, I plan to donate the entire $21 million that I earned

through the sale of my book to the victims' families

whose lives I caused so much pain

What a fucking load of shit!!

Who's gonna clean that mess!

And I do not wish to press charges

against the Woman who attacked me

Looks like my baby will be released

Did he really... repent for what he did?

Maybe... It doesn't look like a simple publicity stunt

It's all due to my past crimes...

He's not trying to get rich off the book,

he'll definitely open a restaurant soon

But what kind? Sushi? Or barbecue?

Ah, steak house! It's perfect!

Lee Doo-suk Steak House, can't you feel it? No?

- What? Is that true? - What? Where?

Live broadcast? Now?

Are you hoping to get into politics?

Pretending to be humble by taking credit for my work

Let me make a suggest/on

Idiot cop, great actor and I,

how about a three-way chat? On national television

Mr. Lee, it'll be a good chance for you to prove your claim,

will you accept?

Do you accept the mediation?

He's an interesting character

Sure, I'll accept

J! Give us your number!

Under me is the evidence that'll prove that I'm the real killer

I'll forward the location 3 hours before the debate

What are you...

Why are you writing on the tree?

Hey you! What're you doing?

Comply to all his requests, and put 10 guards on him

Can't let anything happen to him

Do-hyuk will go undercover as TV crew

You'll disguise as forklift operator

and pretend to install blockades with me at the station

What about her?

I'll be in the audience

What, gonna clap and cheer?

If you allow me, once he's verified,

I would like to kill him myself

Seriously?

You won't find your daughter's body then

I will bury her,

in my heart

Sir...

What's this?

Today is the day of Public Debate that'll get to the bottom of this mystery

The debate will determine who the real killer of a cold case is

Lt. Choi, who was in charge of the in vestigation,

as Well as the author of confessional 'Confession of Murder' Lee Doo-suk,

and J, who sent in never before seen evidence,

J will all attend in person to uncover the truth once and for all

Choi, one of them is the real killer, so don't lose him!

I don't care if it's live broadcast, I'll take full responsibility

Lee Doo-suk is the real killer! Real killer! Real killer!

J is an impostor! Impostor!! Impostor!

Why is that witch here?

Everyone get ready!

Since J isn't here yet we'll start with the victims' families

Standby!

Cue!

Welcome to Public Debate, I am your host Son Jong-hak

Today we will find out once and for all, who the real serial killer is

by talking to Lee Doo-suk, Lt. Choi Hyung-go and J,

who claims that Lee is taking credit for his crimes

We've received a word from J that he's almost at the station

We apologize on his behalf for his absence

We'll start the debate with Dr. Kim Joon-bum,

as the representative of the victims' families

What are you waiting for?

Get him the mike!

I haven't yet let my deceased daughter out of my mind and heart

Producer Park, J is at the back entrance

Then dispatch the cams to the back!

- Knowing the real killer would... - One moment

Ladies and gentlemen, J has just arrived

We have the footage now

J is approaching the studio

Get out! get out!

The mask is very striking

Okay, he's here

J is him...

J will be arriving shortly

This way, please sit over there

Please be quiet for a moment

Mr.J

As you're here to prove your identity,

will you comply to the request to remove your mask?

J has finally revealed his face to the world

Lt. Choi, how do you feel?

Is Jung Su-yun alive?

You'll find that out soon

It's true that I killed 10 women,

so perhaps] killed Ms. Jung

The truth will be revealed soon

Sir, I think that's J's signal

OK!

We're ready to connect to the off site feed!

As per J is" request, we have crew standing b y

- Let's connect to them now. - Remote feed, cue!

We are at a hill near Ansan

We received a report that Ms. Jung Su-yun,

the 11th victim of the serial killing is buried here,

and begun the excavation

As you see behind me...

Looks like we found something

We finally see a glimpse of the remains

After 17 long years,

she can finally rest peacefully

You're Watching live excavation of Jung Su-yun

She was wearing a white coat at the time of her abduction

You fucking!

Take this

I believe in you

Friendship is your support

Orion Chocopie

That J bastard must be the real killer!

No, don't give up hope!

Test, test.

Don't lose faith in Lee!

Don't lose faith!

J must've killed just her, and Lee killed the rest!

Lieutenant, don't get so emotional

Let's be rational about this

You're making it look like he's the real thing

Everyone, please calm down

We're back in 4 and a half minutes

Step off the stage, please!

What are you doing?!

Who said to interrupt the show!

We almost allowed profanity on live TV!

This is not on the scale of normal broadcast accidents!

Do you know how much this is costing us?

Chief!

FCC will press charges, and there won't be a show!

If we continue like this, aren't I fucked?

I don't know...

If not you, then who?

Chief said he'll take care of everything

That bastard...

I'm the station chief

Clear out your desk!

Fuck this, I'm done!

- Producer Park, don't do this! - Let go!

Broadcast is power? Eat your own shit!

Get out!

Lieutenant,

you didn't actually think that she was still alive, right?

You son of a bitch!

Come out!

You're fucking dead!

Out of the way!

Motherfucker!

Do-hyuk, that's enough...

I'm gonna find him and kill him!

More women are being killed because I haven't stopped him yet

Honey! Look at my face

Look at me

Yo! Jung Su-yun!

I'm getting the short end of the stick,

but since you need me so desperately,

I, Choi Hyung-go, will

marry you!

Can't we live together?

I want to live together!

I never said that. Sounds nothing like me

Don't be too hard on yourself

I got it

Mom'll be here soon

What time is it?

It's dead again

I'll buy you a new watch

It works great with some care, like me

Then I need to give you some love too

Feel better?

Go on in

There's that smile

Go on

Okay, I'm off

Hello

Have I not made myself clear?

I thought it'd be dangerous for her to walk home alone

Being with you is more dangerous

Shall we? It's almost time

I can only imagine your shock as you witness this at home

DNA test must be conducted before we can verify that this is Jung

Are you kidding?

Do I have to cook the meal and feed it to you too?

Lt. Choi, it's just a matter of time,

why don't you just come clean now?

Lt. Choi?

Then Mr. Lee,

do you still stand by your statement that you killed 10 women?

I...

Yes, go on

am not...

the serial killer

You... are not the serial killer?

Quiet please

Please be quiet!

This is all very confusing

Then how were you able to obtain vivid details of the case

that only the real killer would know?

Because I...

did not write it

Then who wrote the book?

I wrote the book

What are you saying?

Lee Doo-suk's real name is Jung Hyun-sik

The first victim was...

my mother

Wait a moment...

This is Jung Hyun-sik's file

We researched the victims' families, and found out that

the son of first victim, Jung Hyun-sik,

died in an accident on the year when the statute of limitations expired

That day, Jung died and Lee was born in his place

But there's not a trace of similarity between the two

I can explain that

It was winter of 2005

We were barely able to stabilize him,

but his face took a serious damage that required reconstructive surgery

So you created Lee with plastic surgery?

It was Choi's suggestion and Hyun-sik also wanted it

So Lt. Choi planned this scheme to weed out the real killer?

Even writing a book as part of the plan...

You're a megalomaniac who desires national attention

So you chose to kill and I became part of your PR stunt

If someone became famous with that book,

who'd be most jealous of it?

I am so thankful,

I am so thankful,

that you bit the bait so willingly

Lt. Choi, I'm stunned, I underestimated you

But with me legally off the hook, why did you go through the trouble?

Oh, is it because of her?

Jung Su-yun?

I needed to catch you! And ask you,

whether she's dead or alive, and where she's buried

Then I was going to kill you

But that's not what she would've wanted,

so I'm hesitating now...

What do you mean?

Bring it

I don't know why you're making a scene

Just show us already,

and get it over with

Please let me...

hear his voice one last time

Violent Crimes Hello? Hello?

Why did you hit the victim then!

I know where you're going with this

You want to stir up public emotion, is that it?

That I'm the devil who mercilessly killed an innocent woman?

It feels even more tragic with your voice in it

You must be really nervous now...

Shut your trap and listen

- Hello? Hello? - The ballat count for...

14th presidential electron is being conducted

We'll continue shortly

- It is now midnight. - Hello? What do you want?

Speak!

Did you hear it?

The 14th presidential election ballot count

That was midnight December 19, 1992

Today is December 18, 2007,

11:46pm

There's still 14 more minutes of statute of limitations!

Lieutenant!

We became close while living together for 2 years

She always said,

she wanted you to live on without guilt

She thought of you until the moment she was buried

I'm sorry, please forgive me

Please let me live

I want to live...

I have to live

There is a reason why I must live

No, you can't kill me

I have... your child

Shut your mouth!

Goddammit, that hurts!

Blood...

I was mindful of her period, but she ended up getting pregnant

She thought I wouldn't kill her with a child

But I loathe children more than anything

Looks like you went all out for her revenge,

but you should've done it before time ran out

You didn't have to drag me out on TV,

this is so pitiful!

Please lower your gun...

Sir...

It's all over now

You're right,

I was wrong

I shouldn't be so pitiful

Right?

Not in her loving memory...

It's my fault

But this is the end for us!

No, Lieutenant!

Let go!

- Let go of me! - Please calm down!

Su-yun's mother's blood is on your hand now

Take the other side!

Your mom said to me as she died,

her son would be all alone...

You grew up quite well

Shut the fuck up!

Shit!

I'll kill you!

Goddammit!

Stop!

Stop right there!

Hold still!

Fuck!

Fucking hell!

Fuck!

Fucking hell!

I'll fucking kill you!

Just load the whole thing!

Underneath!

Crush him!

Key! Give me the key!

Give it back! That's not mine

Move it!

Godammit!

No, I'm so fucked...

Are you okay?

Are you alive?

You Okay?

I know you...

Lt. Choi, right?

Sir, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Fuck!

J is seen heading towards Ilsan on a stolen motorcycle

Where the fuck is he?!

Fucking hell!

Go to hell!

It's all over in 3 minutes, fucker!

I'll fucking kill you!

Lieutenant!

Are you okay?

Come down! please!

Hold them back!

Block him!

Let go!

Let me go! He has to die!

Let go!

Sorry for making you wait

Why are you so late?

I'm bogged down with the case, I have to rush back

What should we eat?

Why don't you just quit now?

Not even a proper dinner with your lover on Christmas eve

How will you ever marry a cop this way?

I'm starting to understand your mother

If you do, then breaking up is an option?

My mom bothers you that much?

Come on

I...

want to...

live with you

Go on, I gotta run

Can't even take me home?

It'd be awkward to see your mother

You're selfish

Early Winter, 2012

Lt. Choi Hyung-gu completed his 5-year sentence

for the murder of serial killer and was re/eased today

This case also initiated the process of

extending the statute of limitations to 25 years from 15

Allow yourself to heal

Thank you...

Won't you remove... that scar now?

This belongs to Su-yun's husband Hyung-go
