(Episode 11)

Do you know why no matter how I try, I'm always stuck in the same moment?

I always tell myself that if I could go back to that day,

I would make a different choice.

In the end,

I'd make the same choice.

(Bae Yeo Wool)

What if I'm Bae Yeo Wool?

You told me to testify, but you won't allow your sister to do that?

If he kills me, it's all your fault.

Remember that for life.

Why does it have to be you?

Yeo Wool.

Do you know a place in Haeju, Hwanghae Province?

The name of that place is Yongdangpo.

On a spring night in 1997,

a boatman was carefully rowing across the water...

and heading to the south.

As he was about to cross the border,

everyone aboard his boat was staying silent.

But a baby started to cry...

in his mother's arms.

Everyone on that boat would've died if they got caught.

No matter how much they tried,

the baby didn't stop crying.

In the end,

the mother threw the baby into the dark sea.

As that baby sank down the cold water,

everything became silent.

That...

is what living means, Mr. Woo.

If I want to live,

someone has to die.

It doesn't matter if that's a cow, chicken, or whatever.

People can live only by killing others.

So...

whatever Jang Hyung Min says,

don't be swayed by his words, and live on shamelessly.

If you die,

it would be no fun for me.

At 8:17pm, yesterday night,

Jang Hyung Min was running away from the police on a stolen vehicle.

But he got into an accident after entering Wongwang tunnel,

which was under maintenance.

The fuel from the vehicle...

and flammable materials at the construction site caught fire...

and caused a continuous explosion.

As a result, the tunnel's inner wall collapsed,

and a car was completely incinerated.

This car accident has claimed the lives...

of a citizen, Mr. Kim,

and the serial killer, Jang Hyung Min,

Are you sure Jang Hyung Min is dead?

We've concluded his death after analyzing the CCTV footage...

and DNA evidence left at the site.

We're sure Jang Hyung Min is dead.

What happened to Mr. Woo Tae Seok?

He got injured by the explosion.

He got light burns and fractured ribs,

so he's being treated at a hospital.

Will Mr. Woo be okay to leave the hospital so soon?

It has been only two days since the accident.

We can't have a funeral without a chief mourner,

and the doctor said he'll be okay.

It's a relief that Ms. Eun went after him to interview him.

If she didn't...

He got injured, and his family died.

Catching criminals are good,

but isn't this too much?

Somebody has to do it in the end.

You says you want to have an easy job...

that works only from 9am to 5pm,

but you're still doing this without holding yourself back.

I'm doing it only because it's my job.

I want to do well on what I'm doing.

But if I knew...

that I had to put my life and my family's life on the line,

I would've never applied for the police officer exam.

You only need to do what you're capable of.

Not all police officers can be like Mr. Woo.

But I wish he could at least rely on us.

He's just holding himself back as if he's okay.

That makes me sadder.

He's not holding back. He really can't shed any tears.

Do you know...

when it's most difficult while working as a detective?

It's not when you're looking at a disgusting corpse...

or investigating a criminal you want to beat up to death.

It's when you're meeting the victim's family.

Do you think they'll be crying out as soon as they see you?

They don't.

They're quite calm and rational.

That's why I thought they were suspicious...

and ended up hurting them more by investigating them...

because of that suspicion.

But in the end,

I realized...

that they just couldn't cry.

They say that if the pain of a person's body becomes extreme,

the cells paralyze themselves on their own...

to keep that body alive.

Those left behind must live.

So if you see Mr. Woo later,

don't try anything awkward, and just smile.

Smile wide.

Detective Choi, got that?

Yes, sir.

Come in. It's okay.

You should come in if you came here.

Tae Seok, Tae Hee is here.

It's okay. Go in.

Look how pretty Tae Hee has become.

It's been so long since you last met each other.

Why are you both so silent?

You should at least greet each other.

I'll get going, Doo Jin.

You didn't know that Tae Hee does baking, did you?

She's doing her best to learn at a bakery in Seoul.

You're opening a shop in Cheongin with a friend, right?

We were so worried since your grades at school were so bad.

It's great to see that she's handling herself well, right?

Don't you think so, Tae Seok?

I really need to go.

Hey, Tae Hee. Wait up.

Where are you going? You're the only family he has now.

You should live with your brother now.

Forget about the past.

Please live with each other.

Didn't you see him earlier?

He couldn't even look at me straight into my eyes.

We can never forget what happened.

Eat before you leave.

Who is she?

She's a guest.

What happened back there?

What is it?

Eun Seon Jae...

is Bae Yeo Wool.

Ms. Eun is Bae Yeo Wool?

She was in a big accident.

She had a facial reconstruction surgery.

That's when she had the memory loss.

This is crazy. I can't believe this.

I even confirmed it after running a DNA test with Yeo Wool's mother.

But it was Ms. Eun who saved you?

Should we call this a fate or bad luck?

Perhaps, she saved me because of our unfinished business.

What do you mean?

I'm planning to tell her...

everything I did in the past and beg for her forgiveness.

No. Don't do anything.

You said that she had no recollection of that.

The moment you confide in her, don't you know what she'll think?

"My mother wouldn't have been dead if it weren't for you."

"I shouldn't have told you what I saw."

She'll think her mother died because of her.

She'll resent and beat herself up for it.

These are the thoughts she'll have.

That is pure torment.

Think about Tae Hee and you.

Whenever you see each other, you're reminded of that incident.

You don't see each other because it's agonizing for both of you.

When we were young,

do you remember the times we were on the see-saw?

Back then, I was bigger than you.

Once you were up in the air, you couldn't come down.

That's why I threw my bag at you...

and my jacket too.

Only after giving you all of my heavy stuff, I became light.

I'm not...

confessing the truth to her for Eun Seon Jae's sake.

It's to make my heart feel light.

I don't care even if the weight of the truth...

pulls her down, and she sinks to the bottom.

I can only survive when my heart feels...

light from the burden.

Look at that.

Did you buy a new car?

This is a dope car!

Goodness, look at this sexy back of the car.

If you drive this car, people might mistake you for an actor.

My gosh.

Give me a ride. When will you give me a ride?

- Hi. - Hello.

Why are you all standing up? Sit down.

Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

Mr. Woo.

Should we have an after-work dinner today?

You want an after-work dinner?

I don't believe it. You told me not to call you after work.

Are you going to pay for the meal?

Why?

What did I tell you?

To pretend nothing happened and be cheerful.

My goodness.

Mr. Woo.

You're not well. Why don't you take it easy for now?

Why? If I take some time off, are you planning to slack off?

You've gotten better at reading people.

Was it because you were out for the last few days?

We had nothing to do and lounged around because it's been quiet.

It's all thanks to you, Mr. Woo.

What did I do wrong?

We're not supposed to say we have nothing to do or it's been quiet.

If we have work and are busy,

it means that someone has been dead or hurt.

You've reached SNS.

Yes, we're on our way now.

There was a murder in Wonjin-dong.

Did you hear that? You just jinxed all of us.

You did, didn't you?

I know I'm right.

We found the bone ashes.

A civilian was held captive in the car Jang Hyung Min was in.

How do you know it belonged to him?

I can't even run a DNA test with the bone ashes.

Let's see it from the other point of view.

Is there definite evidence that it doesn't belong to Jang Hyung Min?

There isn't, is it?

We should just conclude this case quietly.

You just want to conclude this case quietly?

I'm sure it was Jang Hyung Min's copycat or follower.

Don't you dare tell this to Mr. Woo!

He'll stir up a hornet's nest when the case has been closed.

Gosh, he's frustrating.

(I, Jang Hyung Min, am alive.)

- Hello, sir. - Focus on your job.

- Mr. Chae. - Hi.

Jang Hyung Min didn't do this.

Right? He didn't do this, right?

My goodness, what a relief.

How can a dead man kill someone?

Right. You have a point.

And is this done by a copycat?

How did you know that it wasn't his doing?

An electrical burn.

What's an electrical burn?

It's a wound that results from electricity passing through a body.

This was an electric shock by a commercial low-voltage taser.

It was probably hard to buy a high-voltage taser...

since only the police can get hands on.

As for the low-voltage taser, it leaves behind electrical burns.

Jang Hyung Min enjoys watching the victim suffering in pain.

He wouldn't have fired the taser and killed her that easily.

I don't know who this is, but the culprit is trying to screw us.

We just announced that Jang Hyung Min was dead.

If this gets out, how would that make us look?

Catch the culprit, and close the case quickly. Work hard then.

- Okay. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye, sir.

Have you seen a pig get slaughtered?

No.

They knock those pigs cold with a high-voltage taser,

stab its the carotid artery, and drain its blood.

She was killed by the same method.

Was the killer a butcher?

To say that the killer learned the technique, the wounds are messy.

Or did the killer copy a method from online?

Or the killer might've been new to the trade.

First, investigate butchers nearby...

- and the butcher shops nearby. - Yes, sir.

(Crime Prevention CCTV)

Is there a surveillance camera that records that way?

No, there's none.

Then get all the photos and videos civilians took.

They might have caught the killer who came back on their camera.

It won't be easy to get their cooperation.

If it was easy, I would've done it.

Yes, Mr. Ban.

Send me a list of butchers and butcher shops in Wonjin-dong.

Hello, I'm Detective Chae Dong Yoon from Cheongin Police Agency.

If you can kindly share any photos or videos with us,

they would be of great help to our investigation.

Please send us the photos or videos you just took.

Does anyone want my number?

- Me! Me! - Right here!

- Thank you. - Give me your number.

- Did you take photos? - I took great photos.

Thank you.

Hello to you too.

Hey, Mr. Woo!

I get that I hurt your feelings,

but you know that we must suspect even our children.

Don't take it personally and don't get the wrong idea.

Aren't you busy?

You should be.

Why are you standing over there?

I'm glad I ran into you. Here.

What's this?

It's Mr. Woo's fingerprint we found on the murder weapon.

I found the traces of cyanoacrylate on the fingerprint.

Cy... What?

The instant glue.

It's the most often used method when they fake fingerprints.

You can find this online within a matter of seconds.

Mr. Woo is innocent. The evidence was fabricated.

And you think I did this knowing that the evidence had been tampered?

I was just doing my job too.

Hello, Captain Jeon.

Why don't we have a talk in private?

Why would I need to talk to Internal Affairs?

We're reinvestigating about the shooting incident of Song Man Soo.

The statements don't match.

Is this what you meant?

If there's a misunderstanding, the investigation will clear it.

Come with us.

Darn you.

You little...

Let go!

I'll go on my own.

What are you looking at?

Are you here, sir?

Captain Jeon must've done something wrong.

You know that Song Man Soo died.

Looks like they'll do an internal investigation of the shooting.

They'll want to talk to you too, Detective Woo.

You were on the scene.

I already made my statement.

What did you say?

I just told them what I saw.

Song Man Soo was trying to get Song Yoo Jin to turn himself in.

It was not an act of self-defense according to criminal law.

He did not aim for other parts of the body.

He shot squarely at him from behind his back.

If it wasn't self-defense, wouldn't this be a criminal case?

He should be punished if he did something worth being punished for.

Though I don't know if this organization is capable of it.

By looking at the use of the taser and the knife markings,

he isn't used to murdering people yet.

He may have practiced in the past.

- Go to the station in Wonjin-dong. - Okay.

Look for reports for the past six months.

Yes, I will look into murders...

where tasers and knives were used.

I will find out if there were any survivors or witnesses.

Detective Chae and Shin, go find butchers...

and question them.

Mr. Ban, gather pictures and videos taken by the civilians.

Okay.

Get moving quickly.

You know what to do when you've found out something, right?

- Of course we know. - We'll get going.

Yes?

I didn't know it was this easy to fabricate fingerprints.

The Internet is the problem these days.

If you're thankful to me, just go ahead and say so.

Why are you beating around the bush?

You already know.

Don't smile. I don't want to get attached to you.

I shouldn't be telling you this.

There's a witness here for Hae Jun's case.

They called her here to get more statements.

I know you're in pain, but you should meet her just for once.

Aren't you curious about what happened?

Jang Hyung Min is dead now, so why?

The case is over now. Why did they call in a witness?

I guess there are some suspicious aspects of the witness.

They sure do many useless things.

That detective has no common sense.

This case is over. Why is he digging at it?

My goodness.

What in the world are you doing?

Can you tell me why you went to Woo Tae Seok's home?

I had something to ask him.

Hey, turn it off.

Was it the victim Kim Hae Jun...

I know you're here out of curiosity, Detective Woo.

You're related to the victim, so let's do this by the rules.

We'll investigate and let you know.

The witness is Eun Seo Jae?

Gosh.

Why are you doing this again?

On the day of the murder,

she got into a fight with Kim Hae Jun at her office.

A fight?

They even called security, so it must've been a big fight.

I heard that Detective Woo called her a psychopath.

Detective Jeon saw her old file.

Is that why he's suspecting her?

It's because you were the investigator.

And he thinks you went too far in your investigation on her,

and Ms. Eun is holding a grudge against you.

The killer is Jang Hyung Min.

I know that too.

But the detective in charge is suspecting her, so what can I do?

Why did you go to see...

Lawyer Kim Hae Jun?

I needed to check something.

Check something?

Whether I...

was a witness or not.

What does that mean?

What witness?

Lawyer Kim Hae Jun hadn't died yet.

Detective Woo.

What are you doing?

Detective Woo!

What are you doing?

Open the door now!

Seeing you here...

reminds me of the past and it's nice.

Why did you have a fight with Hae Jun?

She got the wrong idea first.

I suppose...

I had wronged her first.

And what are you talking about, being a witness?

I'm a witness to Kwon Soo Ah's case.

That's why I was victimized by Jang Hyung Min.

Why didn't you tell me about that?

How did you know that?

I heard it from Jang Hyung Min.

When did you meet him?

What did he say to you?

How much did he tell you?

That's all.

Is there more?

You met Hae Jun to confirm that?

I couldn't get much of an answer from Ms. Kim Hae Jun.

So I went to your place in order to ask you.

I thought I should call first, and I was standing outside.

Then I saw Jang Hyung Min exiting your place.

It was suspicious, so I went inside.

Kim Hae Jun was stabbed,

and she was dying on the floor.

Is that the truth?

I have no reason to lie.

You think I might have killed her?

According to Occam's razor, which you like so much...

I am the only confirmed person

who was there that night.

The most simple and clear truth...

is that Jang Hyung Min is the killer.

It's not fun if you don't suspect me.

I suppose you'd want to close out Kim Hae Jun's case quickly,

and get a new start.

A new start?

Aren't you planning to live with your little sister?

All you have...

is Tae Hee, in the end.

How do you know Tae Hee?

Your weakness...

is not Kim Hae Jun, but Woo Tae Hee.

You...

remember everything, don't you?

You...

remember everything, don't you?

Are you making me a fool when you remember everything?

Why?

Those were...

Kim Hae Jun's last words.

No.

Hae Jun would have never said those things to you.

Why you little...

- Get him. - Stop right now!

What are you doing? Take him away.

What do you think you're doing?

Darn it!

(Episode 12)

All you have...

is Tae Hee, in the end.

Isn't this a good opportunity to search without a warrant?

It's been a while since I had fun.

Aren't you ashamed as a cop?

You said you were a bad detective.

A bad detective who does everything he can to catch criminals.

Oh, it's the first time I've received a doll from a man.

What is this?

My home's hidden camera for security.

Everything's been deleted, but you can restore it, can't you?

Are you in a rush?

I have a lot of work backed up.

It's not so urgent.

It's just family stuff.

There's nothing more important than family business.

I'll get on it quickly.

Thank you.

While you're here,

relieve your thirst with a drink.

What's your family like?

I have a brother...

who I'd to kick out if no one were watching us.

But that's not working out so well.

If we could cut ties like that, it's not family. They're neighbors.

Why did the bear eat garlic and mugwort for 100 days to turn human?

It's not so great being human.

I guess being a bear wasn't great either.

Hey, loser.

Loser!

Hey, you punk.

- Follow me. - What is it?

You're so annoying.

Hey, loser.

What did I tell you about cleaning the fridge?

If you're done cleaning,

you have to turn the power back on!

Everything has gone rotten in here!

I'm sorry.

My gosh. Where did they find a guy like this?

You dare to look me in the eye?

Are you offended? Say something.

Are you mad to have someone younger than you talk down to you?

You little jerk. Follow me.

You can't find a job because your face is all over the Internet.

I gave you a job out of pity, but you've lost all our sales in a day?

Get lost, you stupid jerk!

What are you doing? Watch where you're going.

I'm sorry.

Hi.

It's been a long time.

Who are you?

You don't know me?

I don't know you. Please move.

You really don't know me?

I said I don't know you!

Stop.

Zoom in on that person sitting there.

Trace this person's picture, and find out his identity.

Okay.

- We're back. - We're back.

How did he know it was him?

Didn't I tell you?

Detective Woo is like psychic.

Really?

Look.

Everyone is looking at the scene of the crime.

He's the only one looking at the people.

For people like that, a murder case is like a show.

They enjoy the reaction of how people react to that show.

You've learned a lot from Detective Woo.

You seem like a real detective now.

I've got a long way to go.

What are we supposed to do when we come across a guy like this?

Just die?

You have to try to fight him.

Or at least curse him out.

You'll die if you do.

They're provoked when a victim gets worked up and scared.

Whether you get afraid or violent,

these types of people get excited by strong emotions.

That's why you cannot show any reaction.

Then you can live.

Is that the only way to live?

Well, if you're very lucky...

Yes, this is SNS.

Detective Woo.

They're coming.

What is this?

- Detective Woo! - What is SNS doing?

- Please comment. - What's the connection?

Detective Woo!

Please give us a comment!

Is it true that the culprit claimed himself as Jang Hyung Min?

Be blunt with us, Detective Woo.

Is Jang Hyung Min really dead?

Reporters cannot go around writing fiction.

Jang Hyung Min is dead.

This is the work of a coward behind a mask...

who is acting up in order to cause fear.

Isn't Detective Woo being too bold?

If you provoke him like this and anger the killer,

what if he does it again?

I will catch him before that. I've already found him.

- You found him? - Found him?

- Hey, hey. - Detective Woo.

One more comment, please.

Detective Woo.

Detective Chae.

I'm after the suspect.

North on 15 Majo-ro.

(Livestock Market)

Mr. Woo.

Mr. Woo!

Mr. Woo!

Mr. Woo!

Mr. Woo!

Mr. Woo!

Mr. Woo!

Are you okay?

See if you can identify the DNA from this sample.

(Detective Ban)

Tae Seok?

That woman who threatened me visited my office.

You have nobody...

but Tae Hee left now.

Please make up with each other.

Don't talk.

It will only make things more painful.

Someone got stabbed here.

Please hurry.

This is Majang-ro 5-76, Joosang-gu, Cheongin.

Don't hold back...

and cry as much as you want.

Only that...

will let you forget.

I won't cry.

I don't care if it'll be 50 years or 500 years.

I will never cry.

Do you think I killed her?

You remember everything, don't you?

Are you making me a fool when you remember everything?

Mr. Woo.

We've found a survivor.

It was an attempted murder,

and the method used is the same as that masked prick.

I don't remember anything.

You wrote a testimony right after the incident.

That's what I heard.

But I really don't remember anything after I got surgery.

Could it be that you're being threatened?

We, the police, can surely protect the identity of witnesses.

I really don't remember anything.

I don't remember,

but I check if my head and body are still intact every morning.

I even endlessly think about why this happened to me...

and if I had done anything wrong to have caused that.

You must be frustrated because I can't remember,

but I consider myself lucky.

If I ever remember everything,

I will...

Gosh, Ms. Jeon.

Would you like a sweet cup of coffee?

Well, it will make you feel better.

It must be PTSD.

Ms. Jeon Joo Hyun had a near-death experience.

After experiencing extreme fear,

do a lot of victims lose their memory like her?

Patients who suffer from fear of rape or murder say this.

They say during the incidents,

they were mere bodies with life support devices.

They were just nobodies.

They were just a chunk of flesh, getting violated.

Their brain refuses to acknowledge that they are just a chunk of flesh.

Hence, they experience memory loss or distorted memories.

Do their memories...

ever come back?

When will she get her memories back?

It's different for everyone.

It's when they believe that they can overcome it and the time is right...

and when their subconsciousness allows that.

Before reaching that point,

if we force her to remember her memories,

will there be problems?

It's very dangerous to force it when her brain clearly refuses to.

There's a flood after a dam bursts.

Nothing remains.

Please keep it in mind that...

there may be an end from a fire, but there's none from a flood.

Mr. Woo, we need you outside.

Is it live?

Yes, it's live. It's being broadcasted all over the world.

Can you locate him?

"Hyunjong Church".

"Hyunjong Church"?

There are two in Cheongin.

Find apartments with corridors near the church.

There are 10 apartments that fit the description.

Get me the phone numbers for the security offices.

Go to the printer.

Shin, call the patrol divisions and tell them to get to the scene.

Yes, sir.

- Is the apartment in Cheongin? - Is this the security office?

- I'm calling from the station. - Right now, in your apartment...

A serial killer is about to commit a murder.

- Make an announcement now. - This is not a prank call.

- Please get to the scene now. - There's a murderer! A murderer!

Don't open it. Don't.

- Someone's life is at stake! - Right now, a killer...

He might be near the apartment.

- Just make that darn announcement! - Please get to the scene now.

- Hurry. - Darn it.

The security office might have made the announcement.

How many offices did you call?

I called five of them just now.

- The patrol divisions? - They are at all 10 locations.

You piece of trash. You're done for.

Don't come out. Don't.

Could this be a revenge murder?

He tased the girl and stabbed her neck.

He stabbed the carotid artery twice and her chest once.

It's the same MO, right?

What happened? Please tell us.

Do you think your initial investigation could've been rushed?

- What's the cause of death? - What's the murder weapon?

- Give us a comment. - Could it be the same killer?

The victim was...

(68M4449)

What if...

he comes back to kill me?

Let me escort you inside your home.

Wait.

Can you escort me inside?

Okay, let's go.

I'll escort her.

It was the security alarm.

I live on the second floor of this building.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Thanks. Let me check the rest of the house.

I'm sorry.

It happens when I run the coffee pot.

I see.

I didn't find anything.

I'll go down once Ms. Jeon calms down.

Okay.

(Wig Outlet)

Yes.

Everything you said was true.

I'm sorry that I didn't believe you.

I apologize.

Why did you think that I would pretend not to remember when I did?

It looked like you felt guilty after doing something bad to me.

It's very dangerous to force it when her brain clearly refuses to.

I always do bad stuff.

I'm a bad cop.

You hated me because you did a bad thing.

You think I hate you?

Assailants make every excuse they can...

in order to hate the victims.

The victims must be bad...

for assailants to justify whatever bad thing they did.

You too.

You saw me as a demon because your heart is full of hatred.

You're right.

That's why I couldn't thank you...

about Hae Jun.

And you even saved me at the tunnel.

Thank you.

That's no big deal between us.

Between us?

What's our relationship?

We're friends.

Friends?

Do you even know what friends are?

Close people you've known for long?

We're not close. We haven't known each other for long.

- We're not friends. - Mr. Woo.

I've known you for over 10 years.

I think that qualifies as a "long time".

I saw you for the first time on TV.

You were beating up a criminal.

That's when I felt something odd for the first time in my life.

My face got red,

and my fingers started to shake.

My heart began burning up.

People usually react that way when they're interested.

It could be fury or hatred.

I don't distinguish feelings that well.

Should I call myself feeling-blind?

But I can at least distinguish interest from hatred.

I don't care how you take that, but we can't be friends.

- Why not? - I don't like that.

Let's not see each other again.
