Father?

Father?

Dad?

I'm home.

Father!

Father!

Do you think he's dead?

He's badly hurt.

What happened?

Father.

Father. Father!

Father!

Do Won.

Hurry up.

Father. Father!

Father! Father...

Dad...

Ms. Oh. We got the fingerprint results.

Did you?

It's the boiler repairman who was here earlier in the day.

Should we interview him as a witness?

Seo Jae Chul's dead already.

Pardon?

Do you have the autopsy results?

Cause of death was asphyxiation.

He was strangled to death, then hit on the head.

Overkill.

- What's the murder weapon? - A necklace.

A necklace?

It was in the jewelry box that was emptied.

He was strangled with this.

The killer took it.

(Mukyeong Residential Murder)

Your late father's belongings.

(Episode 1)

Why don't you drink something warm?

Is Prosecutor Han inside?

She's getting a statement now.

What is this about?

You can't go inside. Can you wait...

I'll talk to him.

- Give this to the next office. - Okay.

What is this about?

Explain this, please.

I got everything including the victim's statement,

witness' testimony, and the DNA.

Why was my arrest warrant rejected?

The victim changed her statement. It wasn't rape.

They were interested in each other and it was consensual.

And the witness testified again and confirmed it.

Darn it.

Forget about the arrest warrant.

For now, I can't even prosecute him.

So...

is that what you think too?

She says she doesn't remember how she got those wounds.

When she woke up, she saw the wounds.

I know where Park Tae Kyung hid his car.

He committed the act in his car,

so I'm sure we can find the evidence from his dashcam footage.

Once I get that,

I'll be able to prove that he raped her.

There's no way he would have just left evidence like that.

No. I know for a fact he won't be able to get rid of that footage.

He keeps it and reminds himself of the crime he committed.

Issue me a search and seize warrant for his car.

Not like this.

Even if I ask for it, the court will reject it.

Is it that it won't work? Or are you not even trying?

What?

Forget it. I'll take care of it.

If you have something to say, say it.

What did you mean by what you just said?

Your boss was a scholarship student of Taekang.

The Vice Chairman of Taekang Group is Park Tae Kyung's father.

So what?

Are you telling me I won't do it because I'm pressured?

I hope not.

Don't make absurd accusations.

Besides, you don't have the right to call me a coward...

and criticize me.

Perhaps, you're right.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

I understand, but...

I'll follow the protocol.

Oh, my. Thank you for your hard work, detectives.

Have this healthy drink...

and nourish your brain too.

I don't want your effort to go to waste next time.

You're getting paid with the taxpayers' money.

You ought to be more efficient.

- Hey. - It's all right.

If you didn't do it, why did you run away?

Being chased by cops...

was on my bucket list, you know.

Like in the movies.

It was such a thrill.

You jerk.

I'm going to kill you today.

- Hey, come here. - Sir.

- Let go of me. - Don't do it!

- Let go. - Just let it go.

- Hey, let go of me. - Let's go outside.

You want a thrill like in the movies?

Come on!

(Name: Park Tae Kyung, Requesting criminal records)

Have you gone mad? You're crazy.

Hey, give me my keys.

Sir, it's Park Tae Kyung.

What do we do? He's driving. Should we catch him now?

That won't be enough.

Darn it.

That jerk.

Gosh.

That little...

Darn it.

Gosh, Mr. Seo.

Come on.

Goodness. Oh, no.

Gosh. Darn it.

Let's see who wins.

You must have a death wish, you punk.

Mr. Seo.

- Get off. - What?

- Get off. - Okay.

Hey!

Oh, no! Mr. Seo!

Wait. Let me call 911.

Mr. Seo!

I'm chasing a hit-and-run driver, heading toward Mukyeong Station.

Request for backup.

Seriously, he's driving me crazy.

Darn.

Darn it.

Come on!

Get out.

I'm going to confiscate this as evidence.

I'm sure you know you're going to get charged...

for a few more things thanks to this.

I bet you think you won.

But you know nothing.

Let me go!

What's that?

What is that? Isn't that a skeleton?

My gosh.

My gosh, what is that?

We're here at Mukyeong Station, where a skeleton was found...

early this morning.

The police found more bodies after the search.

So far, they've found a total of four skeletons.

The police are assuming that this was a serial murder.

Mukyeong Station, the place where the skeletons were found,

was closed down five years ago in 2015.

Therefore, there are no security cameras in the area,

which will make it very difficult for the police to catch the culprit.

I heard you asked for me.

- What happened? - I'm coming from the crime scene.

It was a serial murder. The culprit used the same MO.

All four skeletons had broken skulls and were put in bags.

We're investigating the crime scene,

so I'll let you know once I get the results.

Do you think that's why I called you here?

Sign this.

(Leave of absence)

- Ma'am. - What happened...

yesterday with Park Tae Kyung?

We're currently checking Park Tae Kyung's dashcam footage.

And we have the footage of him physically abusing the victim...

and the victim resisting.

We're also going to get statements from the other victims.

The prosecution won't be able to let him off the hook this time.

I saw something else on the dashcam footage.

I didn't do anything to break the law.

He was the one who took the light.

And I followed procedure when I searched his car...

Do Won.

You could've died.

Why did you drive toward him...

when you knew he was going to crash into you?

I had already checked the place beforehand.

I can move around just fine.

I'm really okay.

You can see that.

Sign it.

- Ma'am. - You're not normal.

I can't let you keep this up.

I'm...

getting treated.

You told me to go to the hospital.

I'm getting counseling, and I'm taking my medicine.

I really mean it.

The Mukyeong Station case was a serial murder.

We already found four victims.

Do you really think I'll be okay if I take a leave of absence now?

I won't overdo it anymore. I promise.

I want a doctor's note.

I'll bring it to you along with the culprit.

Hey, do you want to make a bet? How about 100 dollars?

What kind of bet?

Will Mr. Seo die first from overworking himself or an accident?

Or will I die first due to a heart attack?

Which do you think will come first?

I'll slice off my hand if he doesn't die first.

I'm sure I'll win.

I bet I'll die first.

Okay. It's a bet.

Mr. Seo, shouldn't you go see a doctor?

I'll go next time.

Did you check the security cameras?

This place has been closed down for a long time, so there's nothing.

It's been undergoing redevelopment for years, so there are no cameras.

I don't think we'll be able to find any witnesses either.

No one lives nearby.

Write up a list of all the ex-convicts who in the area.

And check if anyone was reported missing.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

- Crazy jerk. - What a nice way to say hello.

If you want to die senselessly, just crawl into this hole.

I'll be kind enough to cover you with dirt.

Are you worried or angry? Just choose one.

Why would I be worried about you?

I'd rather worry about the dog next door.

We've been friends for 15 years, but you care more about a dog?

At least the dog next door knows that he should take care of himself.

Do you have anything...

that will help us figure out who the victims are?

They're all skeletons, so we can't get their fingerprints.

It's going to be pretty difficult.

Based on the jewelry that the victims were wearing,

I think they were all women.

Does that mean the culprit wasn't after their jewelry?

My gosh!

What is it?

Isn't that a cat?

I guess someone buried the cat here.

My gosh, seriously?

Why do you still get startled by these kinds of stuff?

It's because I already had two heart attacks since yesterday.

But don't you notice anything weird about the dead cat?

I used to live near a train station, so I've seen cats like this before.

Cats that got hit by trains used to look like this.

Hit by a train? Here?

I... I know, right?

It makes no sense.

Maybe it got hit by a car while crossing the road.

Do you think we should bury it again?

Wait.

(National Forensic Service)

They're all female.

All four skulls were...

fractured by a blunt object.

Based on the amount of decay, the estimated time of death is...

at least a year ago?

There are multiple fractures,

so they weren't beaten once.

With this amount of damage,

it's likely that the killer kept attacking...

even after the victims were long dead.

Here. 12 years ago,

there was a case with a similar MO.

The Mukyeong Residential Murder.

The victim was strangled, then beaten on the head.

Just like these victims.

The killer was never apprehended,

and the case remains unsolved 12 years later.

Could the killer be the same person?

I'm not sure.

The skull fracture does look similar,

but I can't clearly identify the cause of death for these four.

(First witness: Han Seo Kyung)

(Han Seo Kyung)

Is this...

Yes. That's me.

The victim Han Kyu Tae was my father.

I found the store that sells that Okchun Candy.

Some guy buys them sometimes.

I'll send you the surveillance footage.

Why did you prepare so much?

There we go.

Happy birthday, Seo Kyung.

Thank you so much.

Here.

- Gosh. - Shall we eat?

He won't come, Ms. Oh.

It has been three years already.

Forget about my birthday.

He doesn't even celebrate yours and you're like a mom to him.

I make him feel uncomfortable.

I'll eat his share too.

Don't hate Do Won too much, Seo Kyung.

How could I hate him?

Even my dad couldn't have done what he did for me.

How is it?

It's delicious.

Eat all you want.

You don't have to come out.

It's your birthday.

Sleep well. I'll go now.

- Okay. Sleep well. - I will.

(Do Won)

The light was out, so I got a new light bulb.

Don't you know this is breaking and entering?

It can't be.

I live over there.

You can't say that after being away for three years.

I thought it would be best to check with you.

Isn't this Lee Sung Wook, your stepmom's son?

I haven't seen him in years, so I can't be sure.

The mole on the back of his hand.

I think it's him.

Do you still have his address?

Thanks.

Why are you looking for him?

It's nothing. I want to talk to him as a witness.

Is it about the Mukyeong Station case?

Is Lee Sung Wook involved?

I'll report to you when I'm sure, Ms. Prosecutor.

By the way,

happy birthday.

Is that really all you have to say?

It has been three years.

You came back here after three years.

When you left three years ago without a word,

and when you returned and acted like a stranger, I put up with it.

You must have a reason.

You'll tell me one day.

After all,

we lived together for 10 years.

The reason you're like this.

Shouldn't you at least explain it to me now?

You said then that you liked me.

That's why I went away. It was what you said.

Did that answer your question?

You're such a coward.

Take it.

The things you left behind.

I packed them.

What for?

I left them and that means they can be thrown away.

What?

I found a few fingerprints on the bags the bodies were in.

But they're all fragments, so we can't get an identity.

Unless we have a suspect...

and can compare them to a whole print.

(Muil-ro 8, Songin-gu, Mukyeong City)

You can't be here.

Please cooperate.

Danger, mirror, traffic lights, stop.

Danger, mirror, traffic lights, stop.

Get out of here.

Traffic lights, stop.

Traffic lights.

Take him. Arrest him!

I'm sick of having him around.

Put him in prison for however long,

I don't care.

You can't let a disabled person...

get out and about on his own.

Lee Sung Wook is disabled?

Should I stay with him 24 hours a day?

Should we both starve to death...

taking care of him?

Give me some money to do as you say.

Give me money to live on.

Anyway, we won't let it go this time.

He'll be charged with obstruction.

He'll be locked up like you want or pay a fine, whatever you wish!

Let's go.

I have no money to pay a fine!

Do whatever you want! Take this fool with you!

Where are you going? Take him with you!

Take this fool with you!

You can't just leave!

We're still open.

Take a seat.

Do you want a haircut?

A trim?

I'm from Mukyeong Police Station.

I'd like to meet Mr. Lee Sung Wook.

Get out.

I've had enough of the police today, so get out.

Get out of here.

What happened to Mr. Lee?

He's very different from when I last saw him.

Now I remember.

You're the guy who took Seo Kyung after her father died.

Aren't you?

Who knew Seo Kyung could be so resourceful?

She pretended to be classy and all.

As soon as her father died, she just followed a guy...

and left home.

She was only in high school.

And who do you think made her leave?

Her stepmother who openly abused her when her father died?

Or her stepmother's son who tried to violate...

a 17-year-old girl?

People do say it's pointless to take in a stranger.

I can't believe you're treating me like this.

Ms. Jo, from what I remember, you received a hefty sum...

from his life insurance.

Thanks to that money,

he's still alive when he should've been dead ages ago.

What happened to Lee Sung Wook?

He bumped his head against a telephone pole.

He was driving after he had been drinking.

Why are you asking?

You know that we found skeletons at Mukyeong Station, right?

Everyone in the neighborhood has been talking about that all day.

It's not like I have any choice.

We found traces that he had been at the scene.

That's why I'm here.

My gosh.

Wait. He has the intelligence of a preschooler.

He managed to kill people in secret and buried them?

And he killed four people?

I didn't say that he was a suspect.

Can I talk to him?

Well, suit yourself.

I doubt that he'll be helpful.

Mr. Lee, do you not remember me?

We met a long time ago.

Never! I won't do it again.

I promise you. No, I swear!

Well, I have a favor to ask you.

Can you help me?

(Okchun Candy)

Don't you recognize this place?

Have you seen anyone carrying a big bag at the station?

Or have you seen anyone digging up the ground with a shovel...

or burying something?

(Mukyeong Station)

- He buried a dead animal? - Yes.

I didn't see it clearly as it was dark. But I think it was a cat.

Anyway, he was burying a dead animal.

Isn't that a cat?

I guess someone buried the cat here.

Where are you going now?

No way.

Are you going there again?

Mukyeong Station?

You said you found partial prints from the bag yesterday.

Compare it with a fingerprint.

Whose fingerprint? Is he a suspect?

The results will let us know...

if he is a suspect or not.

- Are those the victims' clothes? - Yes.

But I found something odd.

- What is it? - This company...

went bankrupt eight years ago.

And another company acquired this company.

And the name of the brand changed completely eight years ago.

So what?

This was manufactured last year.

Last year?

The company that took over didn't manufacture this at all.

Isn't that odd?

(Date of manufacture: March 2019)

(Prosecutor Han Seo Kyung)

(Autopsy Report)

(Cause of death: Unknown)

Could the killer be the same person?

The skull fracture does look similar,

but I can't clearly identify the cause of death for these four.

(Cause of death: Unknown)

(KCSI: Every Contact Leaves a Trace)

Hello. This is Detective Park of KCSI.

Is it this guy?

Yes. I want the results as soon as possible.

You people must think...

we get our results just by inserting the fingerprints into a machine.

You have no idea it's just manual labor that strains the eyes.

Ms. Lee.

Can you give me the crime scene photos of Mukyeong Station?

I want to compare them to the evidence list.

Which one?

Not that one.

Wait. Hold on.

It's for the Mukyeong Station Case.

He wanted me to compare a suspect's prints to the partials I found.

(Mr. Seo Do Won)

Hey, Mr. Seo.

What? "Bukgyrungru"?

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

There's one more victim.

I'm sure that's where...

the fifth victim is.

Search every single place named Bukgyrungru...

whether it's a Chinese restaurant or a pavilion in a park.

Do it now.

Okay, sir. I got it.

We need to find Bukgyrungru.

What do you mean there's a fifth victim?

(Mukyeong Station)

So are you saying Lee Sung Wook is the suspect of this case?

We found his fingerprints on the bag that had the victims inside.

He also knew where all the victims were buried.

First, we need to arrest Lee Sung Wook.

(Restricted area, Do not enter)

That means it was him.

Lee Sung Wook also killed my dad.

He was so close by, but I had no idea.

I didn't even assume it could be him.

You also remember, don't you?

Sung Wook and his mom took my dad's death benefits.

If Lee Sung Wook was the culprit, then everything makes sense.

Lee Sung Wook...

had nothing to do with your dad's death.

This is a totally different case.

The area, MO, and Lee Sung Wook.

Both cases have so many things in common.

The victims weren't murdered at Mukyeong Station.

They were dumped here.

Plus, we don't even know the exact MO.

Lee Sung Wook isn't how he used to be 12 years ago.

What do you mean?

He hurt his head in an accident.

It means this case might've been committed...

by someone who isn't mentally sane.

He killed five people.

We don't know what he might do next.

We need to arrest Lee Sung Wook and find out where Bukyrungru is.

Do Won.

(Bukgyungru)

(Bukgyungru)

Hello?

Is anyone here?

- Who are you? - Police, ma'am.

Where is Lee Sung Wook?

All four bodies were found inside the station.

The remaining body is probably inside the station as well.

My name is Lee Ji Young.
