Following (2024) Movie Script
A new week at the end
of this winter has started.
This is Weekly News, let's
look at last week's events.
Following
On the 4th of this month,
the government announced
it will increase its budget
on street security cameras
by over 40 percent.
One human rights group criticized it
for invading privacy.
Security cameras and its
ability to prevent crimes...
For more, we'll speak
later with Mr. Kim Ji-seok
from Seoul Video Surveillance team.
See you.
Hello, I'm Koo Jung-tae.
I work as a realtor,
and my hobby is peeping.
So frigging funny lolol.
I don't peep high school chats
because they're so childish,
but I did it today
because it was there.
Just what I thought...
It was childish.
Good morning.
"Love the work you do."
An American business
mogul said that once.
Realtor Koo Jung-tae
It's a great quote.
I only have one rule for my job:
keys that my clients trusted me
with are holy.
Next step is an incredibly hard job.
Even the smallest detail
could have massive results...
Wait a minute.
This could have been bad.
God of Investing: Real Estate Academy
It's perfect.
Ant Daddy, thank you for insight.
That was a great read,
I'd love to visit you.
Hero of Real Estate Academy. Ant Daddy!
Do you know what's more
important than money to us?
Reputation, it's all about reputation.
- What's up?
- Holy cow...
Reading something good?
Not at all.
Why did you come so early, Ji-hee?
You told me to.
Where's the cost break down report?
That was due today?
I told you last week.
I'll try to get it done today.
And a great employee.
Perfect.
You're insane,
I told you to sell the
car and pay the debt!
I'll pay it back, I'll take care of it!
Couple Kang Mi-young
and Noh Young-seung.
They've been fighting like
that everyday since last week.
He bought a car
without telling his wife on loan.
I know, this looks weird, right?
Call it a reconnaissance mission.
Something like a corporate espionage.
But I never do anything bad.
I just peep.
So this is the problematic car key.
This is really what I do, I just peep.
And fix stuff like this too.
One, two...
Okay.
As my payment,
I take the most useless
thing from the house.
One, two!
Where do I use these?
I don't normally pick
just one person to peep.
I like to peep on a variety of people.
I even have a jinx too.
Anyways, but she was an exception.
Han So-ra, social media star,
so-called 'influencer'.
It was 5 months ago,
142 days to be precise.
When I first saw her,
I had no idea who she was.
She looked normal at first.
But...
Vegan salad for today's lunch.
She posted a vegan salad
while eating a sausage.
I found that interesting.
I started to get curious about her.
Peeping day 1
3rd floor.
No security cams, and no
cars mean no dashcams.
Doesn't she live in a bad neighborhood?
Han So-ra
Han So-ra...
Han So-ra
Let's see, So-ra, So-ra, Han So-ra.
Here she is.
Han So-ra.
She loves luxury bags,
she'll wait hours in line
to get into trendy restaurants.
She'll go to exhibitions
and always takes a selfie.
At least she used to...
But now she's different.
Good reputation, plenty to look at.
She definitely likes to show off.
Peeping day 5
But I'm not satisfied with that.
I have to see her real side.
Tuna.
I brought you some treats.
Come here.
No, don't go!
So-ra.
I'll leave the treat
here, take some later.
Are you really a good person?
Peeping day 62
Peeping day 62, walking her dogs.
Is this her real daily life?
Peeping day 112.
She got all dressed up
and took a selfie at a cafe.
This cannot be her real self.
Peeping day 119,
heading out to pilates.
I have to go inside her house
to see the real So-ra.
Inferring her passcode
with precise logic.
It's not working.
Life is never easy.
Present time
But I think I'll get in today.
I found a way.
Forgot my door lock passcode,
please help asap!
Finally!
Finally!
If the passcode consists of 4 digits,
that's 24 combinations,
if it's 5, then 120 combos,
which can be done in 3 hours.
All right, be calm, Koo Jung-tae.
Relax, keep it
together, one, two, three!
What's this?
Who uses that many
digits for their passcode?
Boys, what should I do?
I really want to get in there.
Welcome...
Oh my god...
She...
came...
Hello, I'd like to put up
my place on the market.
Sir?
Hello, I'm Koo Jung-tae.
- Please sit down.
- Sure.
It's chilly outside,
would you like something warm to drink?
Yes, I'd love some green tea.
Green tea.
Who are you? Koo Jung-tae.
Where is this? My office.
Get it together, man!
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Why didn't the homeowner come...
Get it together.
And you came instead?
Why? I don't look like a homeowner?
My apologies,
I thought you were a college student.
What did you say?
The homeowner is away at the moment.
I just happened to move
out before the lease expires,
so she told me to look into it myself.
Did you bring the contract?
Of course.
Here it is.
Let's see...
You only lived here for a year?
Is the apartment haunted?
No, I've been transferred
to a different region.
Liar.
I thought about it a
lot before signing this.
If it was a bachelor or a condo...
So-ra, why are you lying?
Don't lie to me, why are you moving?
Wait a minute.
So I finally get to go inside.
I can't keep paying rent...
Anyway, please find someone
to take over the lease ASAP.
How soon can we view the place?
Will you be home after work?
That's the thing...
This is insane...
I love my work.
I actually wanted to leave
this to a woman realtor.
I'll trust you with it,
please take care of it.
Thank you.
I'll do my best.
Of course, So-ra, trust me.
I'm not a bad guy.
That's all it took.
The scent of this home...
is perfect.
That's where she took photos
of the dishes she cooked.
Seen that a lot.
It's all disconnected.
36W ballast.
I'll bring it next time.
What's this?
Contact lenses down the drain?
That feels good.
Tuna injured her leg,
so I'm heading to the vet.
She never approaches people...
Tuna.
Tuna!
Tuna will be fine.
I hope she recovers soon
and gets adopted to a loving family.
I'll foster her for a while,
so I'll post some pics.
You deserve so much love.
Thank you, whoever you are.
That's really encouraging.
Oh my god...
Peeping day 152
Today marks my 3rd
visit to So-ra's house.
The ballast delivery took too long.
I'll just install this
and come right out.
It'll only take 10 minutes.
Each day is too perfect.
She...
Ms. Han, I can't reach you on the phone
I'll be dropping in with clients soon.
Mr. Koo!
Evening, sorry for such a late showing.
A good apartment just popped up.
- It's okay.
- All good.
- Shall we?
- Sure.
They're the types who won't panic
and call 911 upon seeing the body.
Two would be better than one,
right, So-ra?
Ms. Han?
I called her earlier, I
don't think she's home.
I see.
Let's go inside.
Oh my!
Don't touch anything!
This place is so clean!
Incredible!
So adorable...
What the hell?
Was the killer on a
corpse-carrier shopping?
He probably thinks it
was a perfect crime,
but I'm a witness!
Wait.
Could he have seen me?
Dobong Police Station
Good morning.
What? What is it this time?
You sent Det. Jang
again. It was my case.
Desk work is important too, Det. Oh.
I spotted his location
by triangulating the car.
But Jang was sent to arrested him.
When I did all the work, right?
Well, Jang is an expert.
He's already good at what he does,
why should I risk it by sending you?
So why did you apply
to Criminal Affairs?
Why don't you ask Jang
to let you join his team?
His men die or get injured
if there's a girl in his team.
I should get exorcized or something.
- Come on!
- Damn it!
Hold still, relax!
Get out!
Take him.
If a case comes up,
I want heads up first.
Murder of woman in her 20s
Neighbor in his 30s turns himself in
after murdering "woman in her 20s".
It's been 4 days.
The body hasn't been found.
Should I report it?
Good morning.
Ji-hee, what's this?
Mr. Koo Jung-tae
I don't know, it was on the door.
It was you, right?
Why? What is it?
Nothing.
Who sent this?
I don't know, why?
Could this be my hair?
Hello?
I don't know what to tell you,
I sincerely apologize.
Sir, could you continue later?
Rest in peace Bang Hye-sook
We will replace the glass,
but thankfully, your mother's
urn wasn't harmed.
Did you say "thankfully"?
My apologies, sir.
We will move her urn
to a VIP room.
It has security camera coverage,
and we won't charge you anything
for the next 30 years.
I'm sorry.
- Give me a tape.
- Pardon?
A box tape.
Why do I get the
feeling that it was him?
Mom, please say something.
Careful, be careful!
Truck on the loose! Get out of there!
Mom!
Mom!
Someone call 911! Call 911!
Your driving...
Wait a minute!
This man.
Can't really tell who it is...
Have you asked your
employees about him?
Yes.
They all said it wasn't them...
Mr. Hong, did you make sure
you engaged the parking brake?
I did!
How many times do I have to tell you?
We'll look for any witnesses
and get back to you.
Yes, thank you.
- No, please don't!
- Let me take one pic!
- Just one!
- You can't do that!
Social media star went missing?
Her friend went missing
and is unreachable for 4 days.
Why is she so hyper?
Some streamer or something...
What was her username? It's Holugi.
She doesn't look like something.
You wanted any missing
adult women cases.
Then I'll send this one
up to the committee.
I really got a phone call.
And then... wait a minute.
Here, look at this.
Answer the phone! Where are you?
No replies.
She's missing, right?
So what did Ms. Han So-ra exactly say?
If she's ever unreachable,
she told me to report
it to the police...
Who'd take that seriously.
She was a major attention seeker.
She's an attention seeker?
She's no joke.
Everyone goes to
hospital and gets treated,
or receives luxury bag
gifts once in their lifetime.
But she takes selfies
and posts them on her social media.
Then are you one too?
No...
Why are you snooping around?
I can say this because
we're best friends.
BFF, BFF.
Anyway, this looks like a major case.
When girls go missing,
they're found in a ditch
with their limbs all twisted up.
What if So-ra's that case?
That'd be a major scoop.
Can I tell my viewers on my stream?
Did you look into it?
Yes, Han So-ra, 29,
lives in Dobong district,
her entire family is
unreachable, and this.
There's no evidence of her
alive since her disappearance.
- Completely?
- Yes.
No credit card transactions,
call logs, GPS, ER records, nothing.
Maybe she really went missing.
Ji-hee! Ji...
- Hello.
- Mr. Koo Jung-tae?
We're from Dobong Police,
I have some questions.
Please sit down.
Sure.
Missing?
Yes, we received a report.
Do you remember when you last saw her?
So that's why she wasn't reachable.
You have her house key, right?
Yes, it's in the safe, like
most of my clients do.
Was she normally home
when you went for showings?
I'm a normal realtor, a normal man.
How would a normal
person normally respond?
She was away more than she was home.
I texted her when I had to do a showing
while she was away.
I had her permission
to do so, of course,
but she was away most of the time.
I blabbered on, was that a fair answer?
Or am I screwed?
What did you do on February 19th?
I'm so doomed...
Uh, what... did I do that day?
One moment.
How do they know the exact date?
Does this make sense?
I had a showing at her
home with newlyweds.
What time was that?
About 7 PM.
Was she home at the time?
No, she wasn't home.
You were here all afternoon?
Of course.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I may be in touch a few more times.
And could I get a list of
everyone who saw her home?
One second.
- Detective...
- Yes?
That Han So-ra...
Did anything bad happen to her?
For example, dead?
- We don't know yet.
- Gosh.
- Mr. Koo?
- Yes?
Could I get her key?
I talked to the homeowner already.
Of course.
Here it is.
Oh, yes.
Was that enough?
No, of course not.
On her social media,
it looked like she travels quite often.
Maybe she went away for a few days.
Some people these days only use cash
not to leave any trace.
Think about it.
A young woman goes away
for 3 days leaving all cosmetics?
There's a suitcase in the storage,
closet is full of clothes.
She could've had even more clothes.
And multiple suitcases.
Hey!
What is it?
Blood? Where?
There wasn't anything
missing at her home.
It was cruel.
It has to be someone who loathes her.
I could be framed for everything.
There must be some traces
on her social media.
I must find it.
That wraps up my response
to that accusation from Holugi.
I know it's lacking,
but I tried to be very transparent,
and I realized
that this can make
some of you disgusted.
Some people accused her
of misusing the donation.
Even after she had
the perfect response.
My poor So-ra,
how bad she must've felt.
Holugi entered the chat
Holugi: "This crazy
wench is at it again".
Holugi: "Fake tears, obviously!
Did you poke your eye?"
Holugi: "Breakdown of
Han So-ra's nonsense".
Holugi...
Look at this wench.
Instead of addressing the issue,
she went to eat vegan brunch.
I bet she had bloody
steaks after posting this.
Guys,
Han So-ra sued me for defamation.
Dammit, I'll countersue.
You think only you can do that?
Guys, see this account?
Counter lawsuit funding
A wench like her needs to be judged!
Wait, who is this woman?
Clothes, hair, make-up, nails...
She claims to hate her
but mimicked her a lot.
A vegan's devouring pizza lol.
Does she really work out?
She thinks she's goddamn cute.
Don't pretend to be a saint.
Attention seeking again.
Prime suspect #1,
a streamer who had
an open brawl with her.
Second-hand Market
Selling limited edition Chanel
tote bag at Seokgye station
Seokgye district, okay.
I was angry because my
appointment broke today.
But looking at the sky,
Dammit, look at this
micro dust in the air.
You'll drop dead if you
go out in this condition.
Damn, what should I eat?
Got it.
Dongkwang Laundry.
Dongkwang Laundry
Dongkwang Laundry near Seokgye station.
Here it is.
And which window would get that angle?
You lived close by, Holugi.
Is the microphone still available?
Yes
Could I buy it tomorrow night?
First news tonight,
a social media influencer
in her 20s has disappeared,
and the police opened an investigation.
Could I ask you something?
Seoul Dobong police stated that
29-year old Han So-ra was
reported missing on the 23rd,
and are tracing her
last known locations.
Beautiful guardian
of stray pets missing
She was last seen at 9 PM on the 18th,
behind her house in Dobong district.
The police reported that they've
found evidence connected to the crime.
Public Petition: Find Han So-ra
Please find her!
Please join the petition.
If Holugi had something
to do with So-ra's death,
I'll find something in her house.
People believe that
their house is safe.
Dammit...
It was you, right?
I knew it!
You wench, how could you do this to me?
So disappointed with today's stream
apologize before I kill you
I can't stand watching
you through your stream
I want to touch you,
hear your breathing.
Bewithyou1984...
Where did I see that ID?
Bewithyou1984...
Nice body, you wearing undies?
Lee Jong-hak
Lee Jong-hak...
That jerk, what a hassle.
Guryeong Park?
They went on different days.
Who is this psycho?
Give me that leggings.
Lick that wine glass, I
want to see your tongue.
Lean in more.
Looks delicious, so am I.
Did you go with a man? I will kill you.
So pretty, where is it?
I'm coming over today.
Let's die together, wench.
Why aren't you replying?
It's him.
Where are you?
Lee must be the perp.
But why was the red envelope
in Holugi's home?
Wait, are they accomplices?
Who is it?
Who is it?
This is...
What the hell?
Help me!
I need help!
Mom! Mom!
Lee Jong-hak! Lee Jong-hak!
Lee Jong-hak!
Help me!
Detective! Det. Oh!
- It's them?
- Yes.
So one of the two is
Lee Jong-hak, the stalker,
and they killed Han So-ra,
is that what you're saying?
Lee is a lunatic who stalks girls.
Seems to have a connection with Holugi.
Wait a minute.
Then why are Han's killers after you?
Best friends?
Holugi was the one who
reported Han missing.
She couldn't reach her best friend.
You believe that?
Why'd best friends attack
each other like that?
They sued each other
and fought like crazy.
If she's the suspect,
why would she report Han?
That's too easy, to evade suspicion.
Divert the investigation.
Be careful.
He might still be inside.
Be careful.
I'll turn on the light.
Detective... that's...
Hi, I'm Detective Young-ju.
One body found.
Don't touch anything,
it's all evidence.
Is that him? Lee Jong-hak,
the one you talked about.
His accomplice must've killed him.
Hello?
One body found. Come over.
The victim's name is Lee Jong-hak...
I said don't touch anything.
Mr. Koo.
Didn't you say you were
at the office all day on February 19th?
February 19...
I went out for lunch...
Why?
Have you ever sneak into
Han's house when she's away?
Why are you asking me that?
Are you acquainted
with Mr. Lee Jong-hak?
No, no, I don't know him.
I first saw him on Han
So-ra's social media...
This is a misunderstanding,
it's been doctored.
That...
It's been Photoshopped,
I don't know him!
Did you kill Han So-ra and
Lee Jong-hak, Mr. Koo?
Why would I kill him?
If I did, why would I bring you here?
That's easy,
to evade suspicion,
divert the investigation.
To make me into your witness.
Think rationally and logically,
you saw the security cam
and the two accomplices.
One of them killed Lee
and is trying to frame me!
- I didn't kill...
- Are you framed for
breaking and entering her home?
Let's go talk at the station.
Come on, detective!
It's not me, Detective!
This is 911, what is your emergency?
A woman passed out,
she injured her head.
I'm at...
Young-seung!
How's your head?
Is Koo's APB out?
Yes, his car is in the shop.
He must've taken off on foot.
Victim ID?
Here.
Lee Jong-hak, 30s, unemployed,
he closed down his photo studio.
He had a few reports on file.
- Stalking.
- Yes.
He paid some fine for online stalking,
but do you know who
reported Lee for stalking?
Han So-ra?
No.
Holugi.
Guys, it's blowing up.
So-ra trusted a realtor with her key
before she went missing.
Cops were suspicious
and visited him too.
What's even more dope is...
you know that biggest
online real estate blog?
There's a username called "Ant Daddy",
I'll repay this favor, Young-seung.
There's a chance
that Ant Daddy killed So-ra.
At the risk of getting
sued for defamation,
I'll reveal his identity.
Those who entrusted their keys
to Koo Jung-tae of Hanbit Realty,
get your keys back ASAP.
Detective, I'm sorry...
Why did I flee...
I should've explained...
Ant Daddy, is this for real?
Then Ant Daddy killed Han So-ra?
He had that stone cold look
I'm so doomed, so doomed...
Detective!
We got blood.
Lee Jong-hak
Ma'am!
Have you seen this man?
I live here but found his ID,
I'd like to return it to him.
Ma'am.
I really have to meet this person.
Could you try to remember?
Have you seen him in the neighborhood?
It's that place, I saw
girls come and go.
- Just now too.
- Now?
Girls?
Haesol Charnel House-128
Rest in peace Bang Hye-sook
Sir?
See? Everything's fine.
Let's leave.
Let me have a moment alone.
I understand you,
but I could get fired.
I have something to
say to my mom, please.
- 5 minutes, okay?
- Thank you.
Sorry, mom.
Hey, hey! What was that?
I didn't hear anything...
- What are you holding?
- Nothing...
Wait a minute!
Sorry!
Stop right there! Stop!
Damn it!
- Stop, stop!
- I'm sorry.
Hey, no! No!
No! Open this door!
Open up! You jerk!
You prick! Stop right there!
Gosh. You jerk!
I'm sorry, mom.
Mom...
If cops find your hideout,
it'd be bad, right?
Let me know when the blood
DNA analysis comes out.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Are you the cop in charge
of the Han So-ra case?
Yes, who are you?
I'm her sister.
I'm getting tons of
scoops about Ant Daddy.
If he sues me for defamation,
you guys have to help me fund it.
I got a delivery.
Today's eating stream is mala chicken!
I'm coming, stop banging!
Holugi!
Wait a minute.
- Why did you do that to me?
- You're Ant Daddy, right?
Why did you come after
me? Why me, damn it?
I'm streaming, we're live right now!
Guys, please call the cops!
You dug into my mother's ashes,
you call yourself human?
Hey, don't touch that!
That's expensive! Leave it alone!
If you kill me too, you're
going straight to jail!
You went to Lee Jong-hak's home,
did you kill Han So-ra?
Why did you kill her? Why?
Wait, who did I kill? You crazy jerk!
Crazy jerk?
Hold on!
Speak up!
I just...
introduced Lee Jong-hak to Han So-ra!
Unblock
Unblock Bewithyou1984?
Lee stalked me for
a few months,
I thought he was going to kill me.
I felt bad for So-ra,
but introducing her was the only way.
That's all!
She wants to be
friends, but online first.
I was afraid that Lee harmed her,
so I reached out to her,
and even reported her missing.
You did?
You were worried about her?
You were going for her throat,
you sued each other!
Tell me the truth!
Dammit, she and I
schemed that together!
So-ra...
is a major psycho.
No wonder...
Loan & repayment agreement
My parents swore her off for a reason.
Because of her debt,
we've been in hiding for 4 years.
So you disowned her over money?
You think we went overboard?
My baby brother has
mental disability...
Do you know...
what that wench did for money?
People loved her more
when I attacked her,
and she gained Likes
with her angelic image.
And I'd take 20% cut.
But she was unreachable on my pay day.
I thought she ran off with my money,
but damn, she went missing.
Look.
What about it?
This!
Where did you get that?
This! This! This!
These are yours,
I knew you stored them here.
These are So-ra's.
So-ra... What?
She pays me in those envelopes.
They're So-ra's?
How did you know these were here?
Did you sneak into my place too?
She...
Living my life isn't living.
My life is screwed.
Are you out of your mind?
I was loner from the beginning.
How could you sell your brother?
He's your brother!
Everything's about other siblings.
I'm never part of the equation.
I really was going to
bring him back soon.
Honestly, he wasn't injured.
Did I deserve this much hate for it?
I was gonna put them
in a luxury nursing home
when I get rich, but never mind.
Forget this hillbilly town.
Girls, go on.
Greet the gents.
Being poor is a crime, cancer itself.
She's learning the ropes,
but you know, she's fresh!
Abandoned by her family,
a poor girl who doesn't
belong anywhere.
Some said it gets better,
and that this job has
some good sides too.
Damn wench!
But in the end,
people drag down those
who do not belong in the same group.
Drew blood; hospital pain
Is there anyone more miserable than me?
What did I do so wrong?
There's only one choice left.
Did you donate blood
too? You are so kind.
Blood donation campaign
Right, why should I die?
Puppy rescue donation
surpasses $100,000!
I needed to create a new me.
People favor those who have changed.
A girl, who used to decorate herself
with luxury goods,
receives enlightenment
and dedicates her life to a cause.
Perfect So-ra.
Successful So-ra.
Everything was a prep for success.
I'd like to donate to your
cause, what's your bank info?

If a despicable streamer goes after me?
I'll receive all the sympathy.
Even though they've never talked to me,
they believe they know
everything about me.
Chauvinism at work.
I just had to count my money,
and get rid of the dogs.
Until that jerk came along.
Tuna.
Come here.
She was whining with a bloody paw,
it broke my heart...
I'm on the way to the vet.
She normally doesn't approach humans,
she was whining with a bloody paw...
He was there.
He was
there every moment.
What if he saw that too?
What do I do, what do I do?
Too bad..
He should die!
First, I have to understand
his daily pattern.
His habits, house passcode, his routes,
everything I can find out.
Use what I learned.
Devious jerk...
Happy?
I can't do this without an assistant.
Someone who'll do anything
with a little affection.
First part of the plan.
Walk past the convenience store a day
before I go missing.
Confirm the death pose.
How do corpses lie down?
The police need to find the blood,
so draw just enough.
Spill it appropriately,
and make the rest,
like a movie protagonist.
I just need to fool that jerk.
What if he reports?
There's no way he will.
He won't even touch me
in fear of leaving traces of him.
I almost died for real.
And take my death photo.
My head looks huge.
Delete photo?
One more photo to freak him out.
No blood at first glance,
but a few spots when inspected closely.
What a goddamn psycho.
Come back soon.
Then I need to methodically ruin
everything he ever loved.
Just like what he did to me.
I need to frighten him...
Be careful! Watch out!
But I can't kill him just yet.
Help me!
Because he needs to
look like he killed himself.
And I'll be found by the police,
the perfect, beautiful victim.
Lee Jong-hak!
Help me!
Lee Jong-hak?
Dammit...
What do we do?
What am I supposed to do?
That jerk knows who I am!
Don't worry,
we can stick to the plan
when he comes back.
Stick to what plan? He
could go to the police!
Damn, I knew this would happen,
I goddamn knew it would not work!
Nothing in my life ever goes right!
If I'm ever caught,
I'll spill everything.
That you planned this,
and I was a pawn!
I'll spill everything!
Baby,
why are you so worked up?
Come here.
Come.
Come here.
You have me,
isn't that enough?
Let's stop this revenge,
and come live with me.
We'll have a good life.
Baby.
Don't you want to get back
at the jerk who ruined me?
You said you loved me.
I do, I love you so much...
It's okay, there are other ways.
Get rid of accomplice
See you soon, Koo Jung-tae.
Hideout?
Hideout...
This is Dobong Police,
Criminal Affairs.
Yes, I'm the detective in
charge, please go ahead.
What?
Yes, I see.
And your name?
- Should I get Det. Oh?
- Get lost.
It's So-ra's last known
address, check it out.
Music bar
Why didn't you report it even
after she stole that much?
Money that she took off with
was mainly made by scheming with her.
So, she just took everything.
You won't arrest me, right?
Oh, yes.
Was she close to anyone else?
She had someone close?
Oh, you could say she
was closest to Hye-ran.
That's right!
Back then, Hye-ran mentioned
something fishy about So-ra.
Fishy? Like what?
Who knows, she disappeared.
Who? Hye-ran?
She was all over the news,
the Mia district case last year.
The young karaoke
singer who went missing?
Yeah.
Police were coming in and out
getting witness testimonies.
What about Han So-ra?
Was she interviewed as well?
Sure, she was the last
person who talked to Hye-ran.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, Han was the last person
who talked to Cho Hye-ran.
They've worked in the same karaoke.
What?
She was released because
there wasn't a body,
but she was under
investigation for a long time.
Karaoke singer Cho Hye-ran missing case
Something's fishy, no?
Why are you digging dirt
on the victim?
She found out about
here? She's so dead.
Why are lights always
going out at my place?
I can hear you breathing.
Come out!
Han So-ra!
But why?
Don't hit me!
What's wrong with you?
Why are you doing this to me?
You saw everything.
What? But...
Over here!
Please help me!
What is wrong with you?
No!
Don't move!
Get up.
Please help...
Get off of her!
Hands up!
Now!
You pervert...
Don't move.
Koo Jung-tae!
Stop right there!
Open this door, you jerk!
Open up, Koo Jung-tae!
What is it?
- Hey...
- Det. Oh!
- Easy, easy.
- Buddy!
- You wench!
- Hey, hey!
This is my case!
She returned unharmed,
who cares who did what?
You still let him slip through!
Did you cuff him properly?
You never check that
because you're strong!
That's what caused this mess!
Chief, that blood found at Han's house,
the forensics say that much blood
from a head wound is fatal.
But she came back alive!
Are you out of your mind?
Now you're suspecting the victim?
Chief, this needs to be
investigated further!
Look, just look at it!
This blood came from
Koo's shoes at his house.
It's Han's! That's the smoking gun!
Give this to the victim.
We just need to get Koo.
Take it!
He thought he could seduce anyone,
he was like a dog in heat,
drooling while looking at Han So-ra.
It was disgusting.
My hands and legs
tremble by thinking about it.
My voice trembles now.
Koo could've come into my room
while I was sleeping and peeped.
I'm just thankful that
I came back alive...
I'm so thankful, I'm all right.
I keep getting teary
looking at the chat.
It's okay.
Real Estate Academy
Who wants to go terror
Ant Daddy's office?
What if he's framed?
He's a really good man,
very kind and friendly,
and very caring to his clients.
Seemed like a good man...
It's okay...
Snap out of it, Jung-tae.
Detective, it's Koo Jung-tae.
I broke into other people's homes.
Pervert
I abused my job.
I thought it wasn't wrong
if no one got harmed.
But now I get it.
I ruined everything.
I think it was the sense
of superiority at first.
Knowing something that others don't.
It's like peering into people
behind their masks.
Wanting to be a member of
society who could help others,
my guilt slowly vanished, I'm so sorry.
I'll be waiting for you.
Even if you arrest me,
I won't flee like last time.
But there's something
I have to tell you.
You have every right
to arrest me on the spot,
but give me a chance,
I'll leave it up to you to decide.
Thanks to your concern, I'm
discharging from hospital.
Let me check first.
Ms. Han So-ra
What's that?
Something personal.
Will you be okay here?
Yes, I'm comfy at home.
All right.
My men are guarding front
and back of the building.
If anything happens,
call me, I'll be around.
Thank you for everything,
detective, I'll be okay.
Sure.
Come to Lee's house
to get the photo back.
Where's the photo?
Where could it be?
You don't have it.
You got rid of it, no chance
that you still have it.
A chicken like you?
Why did you send it to me?
Your plan could've been ruined
if someone else saw it.
It's fun.
You should've seen your face.
Let me ask you something.
Those puppies you found homes for...
did you really get them adopted?
Or did you kill them?
I found it peculiar.
You were constantly
bringing puppies home,
but why were there only 5 at home.
Puppies went up but none came down.
Why were there so much
antifreeze at your home?
Did you really kill them
all to get donations?
You never pitied them?
Pity?
I'm the most pitiful of them all.
Did you think I had fun killing them?
I cried too.
But there were too
many for me to handle.
But I had to do something
for living. What could I do?
Christ...
Just say you were mistaken.
Lee is the real perp,
but framed me instead.
Then you'll get rid of the photo?
You can stay as a victim,
and I'm a good Samaritan.
Problems solved.
Why should I?
You being dead would solve everything.
You up?
I wrote a suicide note for you.
Guilt drove you to suicide
at your accomplice's home,
and I'm an innocent victim.
You're amazing.
Why did you kill Lee? Did
he want to live with you?
Lee Jong-hak?
You killed him.
None of this would've happened
if you didn't follow me.
It's all because of you.
If it wasn't for you,
I wouldn't even say
a word to that jerk.
If I didn't catch your lies,
you'd have continued
to kill dogs and cats and
live off the donations.
You call that life?
You really got thick skin.
You lived like that too.
Did anyone know about you
peeping around like pervert?
You were also acting fake
to only show your good side.
Okay.
So you did kill Lee?
Right?
You got something.
Dammit...
This was your plan?
I don't know who Lee Jong-hak is
and I didn't kill him.
How long do you think I stalked you?
Even if Han's DNA is extracted here,
this is not an evidence
that she killed Lee.
If a woman was going to
kill a man in close range...
She probably kissed him?
Yes.
Lee wasn't the first one, right?
Have you seen Cho Hye-ran around Han?
I've never seen her, why?
She was Han's colleague,
but she's currently missing.
We haven't found her body yet,
but I'm 100% certain this
is related to Han So-ra.
Who could be buried
in the Choan Mountain?
Cho Hye-ran?
What? Cho Hye-ran?
Who'll take the fall for her death?
You think she was some
sympathetic, innocent victim?
I'll shut the hell up for $20,000.
Or I'll plaster all over social
media that you were a bar girl.
She acted all friendly,
only to stab you in the back!
People are putting you
on a pedestal, right?
You think they like you?
You're so naive.
They want you to fail on
the inside, you know that?
When I mention the bar,
they'll fill in the rest.
Should I do it?
- Det. Oh!
- Yeah?
We got something.
- Yeah?
- Yes, ma'am.
You can't take pity on me?
You know all about me,
you understand me.
So look the other way
on this one, please?
You're just a psycho
who kills people.
You and Cho Hye-ran are the same.
You are all trash that
meddles with others' lives.
Just die.
I just need you gone,
you have to disappear!
Just you!
Just need you gone! Just disappear!
Die! Die! Die! Die!
Die! Die!
Han So-ra.
Get up.
What are you doing?
Ms. Han So-ra.
You're under arrest for
the murder of Cho and Lee
and attempted murder of Koo Jung-tae.
You're arresting me instead
of the suspect on the run?
I'm the victim.
Victim?
Mr. Koo, you're arrested
for break-and-enter,
larceny and evasion.
Why, why, why should I be punished?
He's the one who broke the law!
Koo Jung-tae, tell her!
If you did not stalk me, none
of this would've happened!
I'm sorry, So-ra.
Sorry?
You prick!
It's all your fault,
because of your eyes!
1 year later
Do you know what's really scary?
When something bad happens to you,
The fall of SNS star
and you talk to people about it,
you think they'd console you, right?
Not at all.
They just imagine
how bad you have it and get curious,
The fall of famous influencer
that's all.
You think people envy
those who are successful?
Inside, they want them
to fail, that's human.
They're desperate to see me
in the worst possible light.
They just want to feel superior
by seeing other people suffer,
that's human nature.
Am I right?
Sure.
How do you maintain
your physique in here?
Be well.
I got paroled.
It's a system in which prisoners
with good behavior is released
before completion of a sentence.
Thanks to your advice,
my home tripled in value!
Tell me when I should sell, Ant Daddy!
I'm desperately waiting for you.
It looks like my reputation
survived the ordeal.
I'm so glad.
Get off!
Let's go.
Listen to me!
Take him away, there you go.
Det. Oh!
Ma'am!
Good afternoon.
What brings you here, Mr. Koo?
I was released today, so...
I wanted to speak to you.
You trusted me...
and listened to my story.
I could've been in real trouble,
but you saved me, thank you.
No need to thank me.
Pardon?
I was just doing my job.
I have to get back inside, take care.
Detective.
Ma'am, have I done
something wrong to you?
Mr. Koo, you're not a victim,
you're a criminal, a stalker.
You think you received
all your punishment?
Open your eyes.
See what you did to your own life.

Directed by Kim Se Hui
of this winter has started.
This is Weekly News, let's
look at last week's events.
Following
On the 4th of this month,
the government announced
it will increase its budget
on street security cameras
by over 40 percent.
One human rights group criticized it
for invading privacy.
Security cameras and its
ability to prevent crimes...
For more, we'll speak
later with Mr. Kim Ji-seok
from Seoul Video Surveillance team.
See you.
Hello, I'm Koo Jung-tae.
I work as a realtor,
and my hobby is peeping.
So frigging funny lolol.
I don't peep high school chats
because they're so childish,
but I did it today
because it was there.
Just what I thought...
It was childish.
Good morning.
"Love the work you do."
An American business
mogul said that once.
Realtor Koo Jung-tae
It's a great quote.
I only have one rule for my job:
keys that my clients trusted me
with are holy.
Next step is an incredibly hard job.
Even the smallest detail
could have massive results...
Wait a minute.
This could have been bad.
God of Investing: Real Estate Academy
It's perfect.
Ant Daddy, thank you for insight.
That was a great read,
I'd love to visit you.
Hero of Real Estate Academy. Ant Daddy!
Do you know what's more
important than money to us?
Reputation, it's all about reputation.
- What's up?
- Holy cow...
Reading something good?
Not at all.
Why did you come so early, Ji-hee?
You told me to.
Where's the cost break down report?
That was due today?
I told you last week.
I'll try to get it done today.
And a great employee.
Perfect.
You're insane,
I told you to sell the
car and pay the debt!
I'll pay it back, I'll take care of it!
Couple Kang Mi-young
and Noh Young-seung.
They've been fighting like
that everyday since last week.
He bought a car
without telling his wife on loan.
I know, this looks weird, right?
Call it a reconnaissance mission.
Something like a corporate espionage.
But I never do anything bad.
I just peep.
So this is the problematic car key.
This is really what I do, I just peep.
And fix stuff like this too.
One, two...
Okay.
As my payment,
I take the most useless
thing from the house.
One, two!
Where do I use these?
I don't normally pick
just one person to peep.
I like to peep on a variety of people.
I even have a jinx too.
Anyways, but she was an exception.
Han So-ra, social media star,
so-called 'influencer'.
It was 5 months ago,
142 days to be precise.
When I first saw her,
I had no idea who she was.
She looked normal at first.
But...
Vegan salad for today's lunch.
She posted a vegan salad
while eating a sausage.
I found that interesting.
I started to get curious about her.
Peeping day 1
3rd floor.
No security cams, and no
cars mean no dashcams.
Doesn't she live in a bad neighborhood?
Han So-ra
Han So-ra...
Han So-ra
Let's see, So-ra, So-ra, Han So-ra.
Here she is.
Han So-ra.
She loves luxury bags,
she'll wait hours in line
to get into trendy restaurants.
She'll go to exhibitions
and always takes a selfie.
At least she used to...
But now she's different.
Good reputation, plenty to look at.
She definitely likes to show off.
Peeping day 5
But I'm not satisfied with that.
I have to see her real side.
Tuna.
I brought you some treats.
Come here.
No, don't go!
So-ra.
I'll leave the treat
here, take some later.
Are you really a good person?
Peeping day 62
Peeping day 62, walking her dogs.
Is this her real daily life?
Peeping day 112.
She got all dressed up
and took a selfie at a cafe.
This cannot be her real self.
Peeping day 119,
heading out to pilates.
I have to go inside her house
to see the real So-ra.
Inferring her passcode
with precise logic.
It's not working.
Life is never easy.
Present time
But I think I'll get in today.
I found a way.
Forgot my door lock passcode,
please help asap!
Finally!
Finally!
If the passcode consists of 4 digits,
that's 24 combinations,
if it's 5, then 120 combos,
which can be done in 3 hours.
All right, be calm, Koo Jung-tae.
Relax, keep it
together, one, two, three!
What's this?
Who uses that many
digits for their passcode?
Boys, what should I do?
I really want to get in there.
Welcome...
Oh my god...
She...
came...
Hello, I'd like to put up
my place on the market.
Sir?
Hello, I'm Koo Jung-tae.
- Please sit down.
- Sure.
It's chilly outside,
would you like something warm to drink?
Yes, I'd love some green tea.
Green tea.
Who are you? Koo Jung-tae.
Where is this? My office.
Get it together, man!
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Why didn't the homeowner come...
Get it together.
And you came instead?
Why? I don't look like a homeowner?
My apologies,
I thought you were a college student.
What did you say?
The homeowner is away at the moment.
I just happened to move
out before the lease expires,
so she told me to look into it myself.
Did you bring the contract?
Of course.
Here it is.
Let's see...
You only lived here for a year?
Is the apartment haunted?
No, I've been transferred
to a different region.
Liar.
I thought about it a
lot before signing this.
If it was a bachelor or a condo...
So-ra, why are you lying?
Don't lie to me, why are you moving?
Wait a minute.
So I finally get to go inside.
I can't keep paying rent...
Anyway, please find someone
to take over the lease ASAP.
How soon can we view the place?
Will you be home after work?
That's the thing...
This is insane...
I love my work.
I actually wanted to leave
this to a woman realtor.
I'll trust you with it,
please take care of it.
Thank you.
I'll do my best.
Of course, So-ra, trust me.
I'm not a bad guy.
That's all it took.
The scent of this home...
is perfect.
That's where she took photos
of the dishes she cooked.
Seen that a lot.
It's all disconnected.
36W ballast.
I'll bring it next time.
What's this?
Contact lenses down the drain?
That feels good.
Tuna injured her leg,
so I'm heading to the vet.
She never approaches people...
Tuna.
Tuna!
Tuna will be fine.
I hope she recovers soon
and gets adopted to a loving family.
I'll foster her for a while,
so I'll post some pics.
You deserve so much love.
Thank you, whoever you are.
That's really encouraging.
Oh my god...
Peeping day 152
Today marks my 3rd
visit to So-ra's house.
The ballast delivery took too long.
I'll just install this
and come right out.
It'll only take 10 minutes.
Each day is too perfect.
She...
Ms. Han, I can't reach you on the phone
I'll be dropping in with clients soon.
Mr. Koo!
Evening, sorry for such a late showing.
A good apartment just popped up.
- It's okay.
- All good.
- Shall we?
- Sure.
They're the types who won't panic
and call 911 upon seeing the body.
Two would be better than one,
right, So-ra?
Ms. Han?
I called her earlier, I
don't think she's home.
I see.
Let's go inside.
Oh my!
Don't touch anything!
This place is so clean!
Incredible!
So adorable...
What the hell?
Was the killer on a
corpse-carrier shopping?
He probably thinks it
was a perfect crime,
but I'm a witness!
Wait.
Could he have seen me?
Dobong Police Station
Good morning.
What? What is it this time?
You sent Det. Jang
again. It was my case.
Desk work is important too, Det. Oh.
I spotted his location
by triangulating the car.
But Jang was sent to arrested him.
When I did all the work, right?
Well, Jang is an expert.
He's already good at what he does,
why should I risk it by sending you?
So why did you apply
to Criminal Affairs?
Why don't you ask Jang
to let you join his team?
His men die or get injured
if there's a girl in his team.
I should get exorcized or something.
- Come on!
- Damn it!
Hold still, relax!
Get out!
Take him.
If a case comes up,
I want heads up first.
Murder of woman in her 20s
Neighbor in his 30s turns himself in
after murdering "woman in her 20s".
It's been 4 days.
The body hasn't been found.
Should I report it?
Good morning.
Ji-hee, what's this?
Mr. Koo Jung-tae
I don't know, it was on the door.
It was you, right?
Why? What is it?
Nothing.
Who sent this?
I don't know, why?
Could this be my hair?
Hello?
I don't know what to tell you,
I sincerely apologize.
Sir, could you continue later?
Rest in peace Bang Hye-sook
We will replace the glass,
but thankfully, your mother's
urn wasn't harmed.
Did you say "thankfully"?
My apologies, sir.
We will move her urn
to a VIP room.
It has security camera coverage,
and we won't charge you anything
for the next 30 years.
I'm sorry.
- Give me a tape.
- Pardon?
A box tape.
Why do I get the
feeling that it was him?
Mom, please say something.
Careful, be careful!
Truck on the loose! Get out of there!
Mom!
Mom!
Someone call 911! Call 911!
Your driving...
Wait a minute!
This man.
Can't really tell who it is...
Have you asked your
employees about him?
Yes.
They all said it wasn't them...
Mr. Hong, did you make sure
you engaged the parking brake?
I did!
How many times do I have to tell you?
We'll look for any witnesses
and get back to you.
Yes, thank you.
- No, please don't!
- Let me take one pic!
- Just one!
- You can't do that!
Social media star went missing?
Her friend went missing
and is unreachable for 4 days.
Why is she so hyper?
Some streamer or something...
What was her username? It's Holugi.
She doesn't look like something.
You wanted any missing
adult women cases.
Then I'll send this one
up to the committee.
I really got a phone call.
And then... wait a minute.
Here, look at this.
Answer the phone! Where are you?
No replies.
She's missing, right?
So what did Ms. Han So-ra exactly say?
If she's ever unreachable,
she told me to report
it to the police...
Who'd take that seriously.
She was a major attention seeker.
She's an attention seeker?
She's no joke.
Everyone goes to
hospital and gets treated,
or receives luxury bag
gifts once in their lifetime.
But she takes selfies
and posts them on her social media.
Then are you one too?
No...
Why are you snooping around?
I can say this because
we're best friends.
BFF, BFF.
Anyway, this looks like a major case.
When girls go missing,
they're found in a ditch
with their limbs all twisted up.
What if So-ra's that case?
That'd be a major scoop.
Can I tell my viewers on my stream?
Did you look into it?
Yes, Han So-ra, 29,
lives in Dobong district,
her entire family is
unreachable, and this.
There's no evidence of her
alive since her disappearance.
- Completely?
- Yes.
No credit card transactions,
call logs, GPS, ER records, nothing.
Maybe she really went missing.
Ji-hee! Ji...
- Hello.
- Mr. Koo Jung-tae?
We're from Dobong Police,
I have some questions.
Please sit down.
Sure.
Missing?
Yes, we received a report.
Do you remember when you last saw her?
So that's why she wasn't reachable.
You have her house key, right?
Yes, it's in the safe, like
most of my clients do.
Was she normally home
when you went for showings?
I'm a normal realtor, a normal man.
How would a normal
person normally respond?
She was away more than she was home.
I texted her when I had to do a showing
while she was away.
I had her permission
to do so, of course,
but she was away most of the time.
I blabbered on, was that a fair answer?
Or am I screwed?
What did you do on February 19th?
I'm so doomed...
Uh, what... did I do that day?
One moment.
How do they know the exact date?
Does this make sense?
I had a showing at her
home with newlyweds.
What time was that?
About 7 PM.
Was she home at the time?
No, she wasn't home.
You were here all afternoon?
Of course.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I may be in touch a few more times.
And could I get a list of
everyone who saw her home?
One second.
- Detective...
- Yes?
That Han So-ra...
Did anything bad happen to her?
For example, dead?
- We don't know yet.
- Gosh.
- Mr. Koo?
- Yes?
Could I get her key?
I talked to the homeowner already.
Of course.
Here it is.
Oh, yes.
Was that enough?
No, of course not.
On her social media,
it looked like she travels quite often.
Maybe she went away for a few days.
Some people these days only use cash
not to leave any trace.
Think about it.
A young woman goes away
for 3 days leaving all cosmetics?
There's a suitcase in the storage,
closet is full of clothes.
She could've had even more clothes.
And multiple suitcases.
Hey!
What is it?
Blood? Where?
There wasn't anything
missing at her home.
It was cruel.
It has to be someone who loathes her.
I could be framed for everything.
There must be some traces
on her social media.
I must find it.
That wraps up my response
to that accusation from Holugi.
I know it's lacking,
but I tried to be very transparent,
and I realized
that this can make
some of you disgusted.
Some people accused her
of misusing the donation.
Even after she had
the perfect response.
My poor So-ra,
how bad she must've felt.
Holugi entered the chat
Holugi: "This crazy
wench is at it again".
Holugi: "Fake tears, obviously!
Did you poke your eye?"
Holugi: "Breakdown of
Han So-ra's nonsense".
Holugi...
Look at this wench.
Instead of addressing the issue,
she went to eat vegan brunch.
I bet she had bloody
steaks after posting this.
Guys,
Han So-ra sued me for defamation.
Dammit, I'll countersue.
You think only you can do that?
Guys, see this account?
Counter lawsuit funding
A wench like her needs to be judged!
Wait, who is this woman?
Clothes, hair, make-up, nails...
She claims to hate her
but mimicked her a lot.
A vegan's devouring pizza lol.
Does she really work out?
She thinks she's goddamn cute.
Don't pretend to be a saint.
Attention seeking again.
Prime suspect #1,
a streamer who had
an open brawl with her.
Second-hand Market
Selling limited edition Chanel
tote bag at Seokgye station
Seokgye district, okay.
I was angry because my
appointment broke today.
But looking at the sky,
Dammit, look at this
micro dust in the air.
You'll drop dead if you
go out in this condition.
Damn, what should I eat?
Got it.
Dongkwang Laundry.
Dongkwang Laundry
Dongkwang Laundry near Seokgye station.
Here it is.
And which window would get that angle?
You lived close by, Holugi.
Is the microphone still available?
Yes
Could I buy it tomorrow night?
First news tonight,
a social media influencer
in her 20s has disappeared,
and the police opened an investigation.
Could I ask you something?
Seoul Dobong police stated that
29-year old Han So-ra was
reported missing on the 23rd,
and are tracing her
last known locations.
Beautiful guardian
of stray pets missing
She was last seen at 9 PM on the 18th,
behind her house in Dobong district.
The police reported that they've
found evidence connected to the crime.
Public Petition: Find Han So-ra
Please find her!
Please join the petition.
If Holugi had something
to do with So-ra's death,
I'll find something in her house.
People believe that
their house is safe.
Dammit...
It was you, right?
I knew it!
You wench, how could you do this to me?
So disappointed with today's stream
apologize before I kill you
I can't stand watching
you through your stream
I want to touch you,
hear your breathing.
Bewithyou1984...
Where did I see that ID?
Bewithyou1984...
Nice body, you wearing undies?
Lee Jong-hak
Lee Jong-hak...
That jerk, what a hassle.
Guryeong Park?
They went on different days.
Who is this psycho?
Give me that leggings.
Lick that wine glass, I
want to see your tongue.
Lean in more.
Looks delicious, so am I.
Did you go with a man? I will kill you.
So pretty, where is it?
I'm coming over today.
Let's die together, wench.
Why aren't you replying?
It's him.
Where are you?
Lee must be the perp.
But why was the red envelope
in Holugi's home?
Wait, are they accomplices?
Who is it?
Who is it?
This is...
What the hell?
Help me!
I need help!
Mom! Mom!
Lee Jong-hak! Lee Jong-hak!
Lee Jong-hak!
Help me!
Detective! Det. Oh!
- It's them?
- Yes.
So one of the two is
Lee Jong-hak, the stalker,
and they killed Han So-ra,
is that what you're saying?
Lee is a lunatic who stalks girls.
Seems to have a connection with Holugi.
Wait a minute.
Then why are Han's killers after you?
Best friends?
Holugi was the one who
reported Han missing.
She couldn't reach her best friend.
You believe that?
Why'd best friends attack
each other like that?
They sued each other
and fought like crazy.
If she's the suspect,
why would she report Han?
That's too easy, to evade suspicion.
Divert the investigation.
Be careful.
He might still be inside.
Be careful.
I'll turn on the light.
Detective... that's...
Hi, I'm Detective Young-ju.
One body found.
Don't touch anything,
it's all evidence.
Is that him? Lee Jong-hak,
the one you talked about.
His accomplice must've killed him.
Hello?
One body found. Come over.
The victim's name is Lee Jong-hak...
I said don't touch anything.
Mr. Koo.
Didn't you say you were
at the office all day on February 19th?
February 19...
I went out for lunch...
Why?
Have you ever sneak into
Han's house when she's away?
Why are you asking me that?
Are you acquainted
with Mr. Lee Jong-hak?
No, no, I don't know him.
I first saw him on Han
So-ra's social media...
This is a misunderstanding,
it's been doctored.
That...
It's been Photoshopped,
I don't know him!
Did you kill Han So-ra and
Lee Jong-hak, Mr. Koo?
Why would I kill him?
If I did, why would I bring you here?
That's easy,
to evade suspicion,
divert the investigation.
To make me into your witness.
Think rationally and logically,
you saw the security cam
and the two accomplices.
One of them killed Lee
and is trying to frame me!
- I didn't kill...
- Are you framed for
breaking and entering her home?
Let's go talk at the station.
Come on, detective!
It's not me, Detective!
This is 911, what is your emergency?
A woman passed out,
she injured her head.
I'm at...
Young-seung!
How's your head?
Is Koo's APB out?
Yes, his car is in the shop.
He must've taken off on foot.
Victim ID?
Here.
Lee Jong-hak, 30s, unemployed,
he closed down his photo studio.
He had a few reports on file.
- Stalking.
- Yes.
He paid some fine for online stalking,
but do you know who
reported Lee for stalking?
Han So-ra?
No.
Holugi.
Guys, it's blowing up.
So-ra trusted a realtor with her key
before she went missing.
Cops were suspicious
and visited him too.
What's even more dope is...
you know that biggest
online real estate blog?
There's a username called "Ant Daddy",
I'll repay this favor, Young-seung.
There's a chance
that Ant Daddy killed So-ra.
At the risk of getting
sued for defamation,
I'll reveal his identity.
Those who entrusted their keys
to Koo Jung-tae of Hanbit Realty,
get your keys back ASAP.
Detective, I'm sorry...
Why did I flee...
I should've explained...
Ant Daddy, is this for real?
Then Ant Daddy killed Han So-ra?
He had that stone cold look
I'm so doomed, so doomed...
Detective!
We got blood.
Lee Jong-hak
Ma'am!
Have you seen this man?
I live here but found his ID,
I'd like to return it to him.
Ma'am.
I really have to meet this person.
Could you try to remember?
Have you seen him in the neighborhood?
It's that place, I saw
girls come and go.
- Just now too.
- Now?
Girls?
Haesol Charnel House-128
Rest in peace Bang Hye-sook
Sir?
See? Everything's fine.
Let's leave.
Let me have a moment alone.
I understand you,
but I could get fired.
I have something to
say to my mom, please.
- 5 minutes, okay?
- Thank you.
Sorry, mom.
Hey, hey! What was that?
I didn't hear anything...
- What are you holding?
- Nothing...
Wait a minute!
Sorry!
Stop right there! Stop!
Damn it!
- Stop, stop!
- I'm sorry.
Hey, no! No!
No! Open this door!
Open up! You jerk!
You prick! Stop right there!
Gosh. You jerk!
I'm sorry, mom.
Mom...
If cops find your hideout,
it'd be bad, right?
Let me know when the blood
DNA analysis comes out.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Are you the cop in charge
of the Han So-ra case?
Yes, who are you?
I'm her sister.
I'm getting tons of
scoops about Ant Daddy.
If he sues me for defamation,
you guys have to help me fund it.
I got a delivery.
Today's eating stream is mala chicken!
I'm coming, stop banging!
Holugi!
Wait a minute.
- Why did you do that to me?
- You're Ant Daddy, right?
Why did you come after
me? Why me, damn it?
I'm streaming, we're live right now!
Guys, please call the cops!
You dug into my mother's ashes,
you call yourself human?
Hey, don't touch that!
That's expensive! Leave it alone!
If you kill me too, you're
going straight to jail!
You went to Lee Jong-hak's home,
did you kill Han So-ra?
Why did you kill her? Why?
Wait, who did I kill? You crazy jerk!
Crazy jerk?
Hold on!
Speak up!
I just...
introduced Lee Jong-hak to Han So-ra!
Unblock
Unblock Bewithyou1984?
Lee stalked me for
a few months,
I thought he was going to kill me.
I felt bad for So-ra,
but introducing her was the only way.
That's all!
She wants to be
friends, but online first.
I was afraid that Lee harmed her,
so I reached out to her,
and even reported her missing.
You did?
You were worried about her?
You were going for her throat,
you sued each other!
Tell me the truth!
Dammit, she and I
schemed that together!
So-ra...
is a major psycho.
No wonder...
Loan & repayment agreement
My parents swore her off for a reason.
Because of her debt,
we've been in hiding for 4 years.
So you disowned her over money?
You think we went overboard?
My baby brother has
mental disability...
Do you know...
what that wench did for money?
People loved her more
when I attacked her,
and she gained Likes
with her angelic image.
And I'd take 20% cut.
But she was unreachable on my pay day.
I thought she ran off with my money,
but damn, she went missing.
Look.
What about it?
This!
Where did you get that?
This! This! This!
These are yours,
I knew you stored them here.
These are So-ra's.
So-ra... What?
She pays me in those envelopes.
They're So-ra's?
How did you know these were here?
Did you sneak into my place too?
She...
Living my life isn't living.
My life is screwed.
Are you out of your mind?
I was loner from the beginning.
How could you sell your brother?
He's your brother!
Everything's about other siblings.
I'm never part of the equation.
I really was going to
bring him back soon.
Honestly, he wasn't injured.
Did I deserve this much hate for it?
I was gonna put them
in a luxury nursing home
when I get rich, but never mind.
Forget this hillbilly town.
Girls, go on.
Greet the gents.
Being poor is a crime, cancer itself.
She's learning the ropes,
but you know, she's fresh!
Abandoned by her family,
a poor girl who doesn't
belong anywhere.
Some said it gets better,
and that this job has
some good sides too.
Damn wench!
But in the end,
people drag down those
who do not belong in the same group.
Drew blood; hospital pain
Is there anyone more miserable than me?
What did I do so wrong?
There's only one choice left.
Did you donate blood
too? You are so kind.
Blood donation campaign
Right, why should I die?
Puppy rescue donation
surpasses $100,000!
I needed to create a new me.
People favor those who have changed.
A girl, who used to decorate herself
with luxury goods,
receives enlightenment
and dedicates her life to a cause.
Perfect So-ra.
Successful So-ra.
Everything was a prep for success.
I'd like to donate to your
cause, what's your bank info?
Seoul Volunteers Association
People don't think too
much when judging others.
Especially when they're
well-judged by others.
$40,800 Funding complete
If a despicable streamer goes after me?
I'll receive all the sympathy.
Even though they've never talked to me,
they believe they know
everything about me.
Chauvinism at work.
I just had to count my money,
and get rid of the dogs.
Until that jerk came along.
Tuna.
Come here.
She was whining with a bloody paw,
it broke my heart...
I'm on the way to the vet.
She normally doesn't approach humans,
she was whining with a bloody paw...
He was there.
He was
there every moment.
What if he saw that too?
What do I do, what do I do?
Too bad..
He should die!
First, I have to understand
his daily pattern.
His habits, house passcode, his routes,
everything I can find out.
Use what I learned.
Devious jerk...
Happy?
I can't do this without an assistant.
Someone who'll do anything
with a little affection.
First part of the plan.
Walk past the convenience store a day
before I go missing.
Confirm the death pose.
How do corpses lie down?
The police need to find the blood,
so draw just enough.
Spill it appropriately,
and make the rest,
like a movie protagonist.
I just need to fool that jerk.
What if he reports?
There's no way he will.
He won't even touch me
in fear of leaving traces of him.
I almost died for real.
And take my death photo.
My head looks huge.
Delete photo?
One more photo to freak him out.
No blood at first glance,
but a few spots when inspected closely.
What a goddamn psycho.
Come back soon.
Then I need to methodically ruin
everything he ever loved.
Just like what he did to me.
I need to frighten him...
Be careful! Watch out!
But I can't kill him just yet.
Help me!
Because he needs to
look like he killed himself.
And I'll be found by the police,
the perfect, beautiful victim.
Lee Jong-hak!
Help me!
Lee Jong-hak?
Dammit...
What do we do?
What am I supposed to do?
That jerk knows who I am!
Don't worry,
we can stick to the plan
when he comes back.
Stick to what plan? He
could go to the police!
Damn, I knew this would happen,
I goddamn knew it would not work!
Nothing in my life ever goes right!
If I'm ever caught,
I'll spill everything.
That you planned this,
and I was a pawn!
I'll spill everything!
Baby,
why are you so worked up?
Come here.
Come.
Come here.
You have me,
isn't that enough?
Let's stop this revenge,
and come live with me.
We'll have a good life.
Baby.
Don't you want to get back
at the jerk who ruined me?
You said you loved me.
I do, I love you so much...
It's okay, there are other ways.
Get rid of accomplice
See you soon, Koo Jung-tae.
Hideout?
Hideout...
This is Dobong Police,
Criminal Affairs.
Yes, I'm the detective in
charge, please go ahead.
What?
Yes, I see.
And your name?
- Should I get Det. Oh?
- Get lost.
It's So-ra's last known
address, check it out.
Music bar
Why didn't you report it even
after she stole that much?
Money that she took off with
was mainly made by scheming with her.
So, she just took everything.
You won't arrest me, right?
Oh, yes.
Was she close to anyone else?
She had someone close?
Oh, you could say she
was closest to Hye-ran.
That's right!
Back then, Hye-ran mentioned
something fishy about So-ra.
Fishy? Like what?
Who knows, she disappeared.
Who? Hye-ran?
She was all over the news,
the Mia district case last year.
The young karaoke
singer who went missing?
Yeah.
Police were coming in and out
getting witness testimonies.
What about Han So-ra?
Was she interviewed as well?
Sure, she was the last
person who talked to Hye-ran.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, Han was the last person
who talked to Cho Hye-ran.
They've worked in the same karaoke.
What?
She was released because
there wasn't a body,
but she was under
investigation for a long time.
Karaoke singer Cho Hye-ran missing case
Something's fishy, no?
Why are you digging dirt
on the victim?
She found out about
here? She's so dead.
Why are lights always
going out at my place?
I can hear you breathing.
Come out!
Han So-ra!
But why?
Don't hit me!
What's wrong with you?
Why are you doing this to me?
You saw everything.
What? But...
Over here!
Please help me!
What is wrong with you?
No!
Don't move!
Get up.
Please help...
Get off of her!
Hands up!
Now!
You pervert...
Don't move.
Koo Jung-tae!
Stop right there!
Open this door, you jerk!
Open up, Koo Jung-tae!
What is it?
- Hey...
- Det. Oh!
- Easy, easy.
- Buddy!
- You wench!
- Hey, hey!
This is my case!
She returned unharmed,
who cares who did what?
You still let him slip through!
Did you cuff him properly?
You never check that
because you're strong!
That's what caused this mess!
Chief, that blood found at Han's house,
the forensics say that much blood
from a head wound is fatal.
But she came back alive!
Are you out of your mind?
Now you're suspecting the victim?
Chief, this needs to be
investigated further!
Look, just look at it!
This blood came from
Koo's shoes at his house.
It's Han's! That's the smoking gun!
Give this to the victim.
We just need to get Koo.
Take it!
He thought he could seduce anyone,
he was like a dog in heat,
drooling while looking at Han So-ra.
It was disgusting.
My hands and legs
tremble by thinking about it.
My voice trembles now.
Koo could've come into my room
while I was sleeping and peeped.
I'm just thankful that
I came back alive...
I'm so thankful, I'm all right.
I keep getting teary
looking at the chat.
It's okay.
Real Estate Academy
Who wants to go terror
Ant Daddy's office?
What if he's framed?
He's a really good man,
very kind and friendly,
and very caring to his clients.
Seemed like a good man...
It's okay...
Snap out of it, Jung-tae.
Detective, it's Koo Jung-tae.
I broke into other people's homes.
Pervert
I abused my job.
I thought it wasn't wrong
if no one got harmed.
But now I get it.
I ruined everything.
I think it was the sense
of superiority at first.
Knowing something that others don't.
It's like peering into people
behind their masks.
Wanting to be a member of
society who could help others,
my guilt slowly vanished, I'm so sorry.
I'll be waiting for you.
Even if you arrest me,
I won't flee like last time.
But there's something
I have to tell you.
You have every right
to arrest me on the spot,
but give me a chance,
I'll leave it up to you to decide.
Thanks to your concern, I'm
discharging from hospital.
Let me check first.
Ms. Han So-ra
What's that?
Something personal.
Will you be okay here?
Yes, I'm comfy at home.
All right.
My men are guarding front
and back of the building.
If anything happens,
call me, I'll be around.
Thank you for everything,
detective, I'll be okay.
Sure.
Come to Lee's house
to get the photo back.
Where's the photo?
Where could it be?
You don't have it.
You got rid of it, no chance
that you still have it.
A chicken like you?
Why did you send it to me?
Your plan could've been ruined
if someone else saw it.
It's fun.
You should've seen your face.
Let me ask you something.
Those puppies you found homes for...
did you really get them adopted?
Or did you kill them?
I found it peculiar.
You were constantly
bringing puppies home,
but why were there only 5 at home.
Puppies went up but none came down.
Why were there so much
antifreeze at your home?
Did you really kill them
all to get donations?
You never pitied them?
Pity?
I'm the most pitiful of them all.
Did you think I had fun killing them?
I cried too.
But there were too
many for me to handle.
But I had to do something
for living. What could I do?
Christ...
Just say you were mistaken.
Lee is the real perp,
but framed me instead.
Then you'll get rid of the photo?
You can stay as a victim,
and I'm a good Samaritan.
Problems solved.
Why should I?
You being dead would solve everything.
You up?
I wrote a suicide note for you.
Guilt drove you to suicide
at your accomplice's home,
and I'm an innocent victim.
You're amazing.
Why did you kill Lee? Did
he want to live with you?
Lee Jong-hak?
You killed him.
None of this would've happened
if you didn't follow me.
It's all because of you.
If it wasn't for you,
I wouldn't even say
a word to that jerk.
If I didn't catch your lies,
you'd have continued
to kill dogs and cats and
live off the donations.
You call that life?
You really got thick skin.
You lived like that too.
Did anyone know about you
peeping around like pervert?
You were also acting fake
to only show your good side.
Okay.
So you did kill Lee?
Right?
You got something.
Dammit...
This was your plan?
I don't know who Lee Jong-hak is
and I didn't kill him.
How long do you think I stalked you?
Even if Han's DNA is extracted here,
this is not an evidence
that she killed Lee.
If a woman was going to
kill a man in close range...
She probably kissed him?
Yes.
Lee wasn't the first one, right?
Have you seen Cho Hye-ran around Han?
I've never seen her, why?
She was Han's colleague,
but she's currently missing.
We haven't found her body yet,
but I'm 100% certain this
is related to Han So-ra.
Who could be buried
in the Choan Mountain?
Cho Hye-ran?
What? Cho Hye-ran?
Who'll take the fall for her death?
You think she was some
sympathetic, innocent victim?
I'll shut the hell up for $20,000.
Or I'll plaster all over social
media that you were a bar girl.
She acted all friendly,
only to stab you in the back!
People are putting you
on a pedestal, right?
You think they like you?
You're so naive.
They want you to fail on
the inside, you know that?
When I mention the bar,
they'll fill in the rest.
Should I do it?
- Det. Oh!
- Yeah?
We got something.
- Yeah?
- Yes, ma'am.
You can't take pity on me?
You know all about me,
you understand me.
So look the other way
on this one, please?
You're just a psycho
who kills people.
You and Cho Hye-ran are the same.
You are all trash that
meddles with others' lives.
Just die.
I just need you gone,
you have to disappear!
Just you!
Just need you gone! Just disappear!
Die! Die! Die! Die!
Die! Die!
Han So-ra.
Get up.
What are you doing?
Ms. Han So-ra.
You're under arrest for
the murder of Cho and Lee
and attempted murder of Koo Jung-tae.
You're arresting me instead
of the suspect on the run?
I'm the victim.
Victim?
Mr. Koo, you're arrested
for break-and-enter,
larceny and evasion.
Why, why, why should I be punished?
He's the one who broke the law!
Koo Jung-tae, tell her!
If you did not stalk me, none
of this would've happened!
I'm sorry, So-ra.
Sorry?
You prick!
It's all your fault,
because of your eyes!
1 year later
Do you know what's really scary?
When something bad happens to you,
The fall of SNS star
and you talk to people about it,
you think they'd console you, right?
Not at all.
They just imagine
how bad you have it and get curious,
The fall of famous influencer
that's all.
You think people envy
those who are successful?
Inside, they want them
to fail, that's human.
They're desperate to see me
in the worst possible light.
They just want to feel superior
by seeing other people suffer,
that's human nature.
Am I right?
Sure.
How do you maintain
your physique in here?
Be well.
I got paroled.
It's a system in which prisoners
with good behavior is released
before completion of a sentence.
Thanks to your advice,
my home tripled in value!
Tell me when I should sell, Ant Daddy!
I'm desperately waiting for you.
It looks like my reputation
survived the ordeal.
I'm so glad.
Get off!
Let's go.
Listen to me!
Take him away, there you go.
Det. Oh!
Ma'am!
Good afternoon.
What brings you here, Mr. Koo?
I was released today, so...
I wanted to speak to you.
You trusted me...
and listened to my story.
I could've been in real trouble,
but you saved me, thank you.
No need to thank me.
Pardon?
I was just doing my job.
I have to get back inside, take care.
Detective.
Ma'am, have I done
something wrong to you?
Mr. Koo, you're not a victim,
you're a criminal, a stalker.
You think you received
all your punishment?
Open your eyes.
See what you did to your own life.
