(All characters, organizations, places, and happenings)
(in this drama are all fake and are not based on a true story.)
There isn't much time left.
Tonight,
someone will die.
(Episode 1)
- What's up? - Hey, Dong Soo. Where are you now?
- Pier Three. - Oh, I see.
I'm at Pier Four. Yes.
This is where the police forces are supposed to gather, you know.
Pier 4, not 3.
Oh, really? I didn't know.
What are you talking about? We heard it together.
Why on earth are you there?
My dear buddy, Gyung Tae.
Cho Hee Chul is a total scumbag,
but he's not an idiot.
What are you talking about now?
Speak Korean, will you?
Detective Kang.
My gosh, Prosecutor Min Ji Soo.
I know how busy you are. How did you make time to go all the way there?
I'll keep this short. Come here this instant.
Since you want to keep this short,
I won't say much.
The tip we received about how he will be coming to Pier Four
is fake.
On what grounds are you saying this?
The police and the prosecution
received the tip about Cho Hee Chul planning to stow away
to the Philippines through Pier Four at the same time.
Don't you think that it's a little strange?
Do you think someone leaked it on purpose?
If we follow the traces Cho Hee Chul left on purpose,
we'll never be able to catch him.
Can you prove what you just said?
Hold on, okay?
Look at the camera, guys. Say, "Cheese".
So what do you say? Isn't Cho Hee Chul very photogenic?
Detective Kang, we'll send you backup as soon as possible,
so don't do anything alone.
Yes, ma'am.
Are we clear?
I'm not asking you. I'm giving you an order as a prosecutor.
Right. I'll stay right here, so just send me backup already.
I'll be waiting.
Hey, do you want a beer?
No.
Hey, take the bandage off.
- Pardon? - Your bandage. Take it off.
What about the coroner?
I sent him a big check.
I told him we'd pay more after the job is done.
The con artist of the century who earned
two billion dollars through a pyramid scheme, Cho Hee Chul,
drowns in the sea while trying to stow away.
Then the case will close just like that.
It's a pretty good scenario.
My body double who will go on the autopsy table is here.
Let's get over this quickly.
You have to keep your promise
to give 500,000 dollars
to my family when I die.
Have faith. Haven't you heard? "Blessed are the faithful."
Okay.
Hey. Forget this. Give him a hand.
I can do it.
I can do it! I
Hey!
What shenanigans are you up to in the moonlight?
Come on. What is this nonsense.
Are you going to the Olympics?
Are you practicing diving?
But look. You have the wrong diver.
Detective Kang Dong Soo?
You are one skilled pig.
How did you find us here?
Hey you. Cho Hee Chul. From this moment forth,
you are under arrest for fraud,
running a pyramid scheme, and three counts of murder.
You have the right to remain silent,
so shut that stinky pie hole.
You'll take on all of us all by yourself?
Stop.
You won't be cheap and use weapons, will you?
Step back.
I removed the blank and filled it up with live rounds.
I have plenty of bullets, so don't worry about
not getting one.
Hey. Detective Kang.
Why are you so devoted? It's not like they pay you much.
If you'd just look the other way,
I'll make it worth your while.
Hey. Forget it.
You made that money on the blood of innocent people.
It stinks too much of rotten blood
for me to take it.
Really? Okay then.
You'll just have to die.
That's why you should've agreed when I said I'd pay you.
You happy? Are you happy?
But sorry.
I really like this situation.
It's not my style to cuff scumbags like you nicely.
It's not my thing.
Historically,
you need a bat to teach a mad dog.
I'll show you how to catch
a mad dog.
What are you waiting for?
Why you
Cho Hee Chul! Move it.
Run quickly!
There are two left.
Freeze!
Hey, mister. What are you doing?
I'm sorry, but I think you're confused.
I'm a cop. I'm here to save you.
I need to die here.
We need money for my daughter's surgery.
Without it, my girl, Ji Sun, will die.
How are you so clueless?
Look! Do you think he'll pay you just because you die here?
I have no other choice. I'm sorry!
Why do you keep apologizing?
What's going on here?
What
Look at this mess. Are you going to clean this all up?
People have no conscience.
Do you know her?
No.
Who are you?
Me? I'll tell you who I am.
I'm an angel. An angel.
I came to save your life,
- so I'm a guardian angel. - Don't Don't come closer.
I'll shoot for real.
It's your first time holding a gun, isn't it?
That's not the right form.
Straighten your elbows so that the hand holding the gun
and your shoulders make an isosceles triangle.
And maintain your center of balance a little forward.
That helps you withstand the recoil.
What are you talking about?
And most importantly,
if you want to shoot the gun, you must release the safety.
Stay down.
Gosh, I almost died.
Who are you?
This isn't the time for questions.
Shouldn't you go after Cho Hee Chul?
Darn it.
Hey, mister! Wait!
Don't come closer!
Don't do this.
I told you that I came to save your life.
You came to save my life? What about my daughter?
Can you save Ji Sun too?
Darn it.
(Big Sea)
Seriously.
Let me go.
I need to die in order to get the money,
and I need that money to save my daughter.
Talk about a devoted dad.
You must think you're making some grand sacrifice,
but you're wrong.
You're just running away from reality!
Then what do you want me to do?
Fight.
What?
I said to fight.
Your daughter is fighting her illness right now too.
Even your daughter is fighting. Why can't you?
What Ji Sun needs right now isn't money or a doctor.
She needs
someone who can fight alongside her!
If you still want to run away,
I'll let you go.
If not
If you want to fight with Ji Sun,
grab
Grab my hand.
Hey, wait!
My gosh, let's take a short break.
Gosh.
Okay, fine. Let's just keep going.
My gosh, you should've taken a break when I asked for one.
Here we go again.
Do you know the TV show called "The Kingdom of Animals"?
I really like that TV show.
The world may seem complicated,
but it moves based on one simple law.
Do you know what that is?
It's the law of the jungle.
The weak become the prey
of the strong.
Those who don't know or fail to acknowledge that one simple law
deserve to get hunted down.
You jerk.
- Are you laughing? - You dumb jerk.
"The Kingdom of Animals" that you speak of
The predators and prey live together in harmony.
It's just the nature of their ecosystem.
The law of the jungle
is just a term that was made by jerks like you.
Don't use it to back up your logic.
Your attitude is exactly why you'll end up dead in my hands.
Okay, fine. Are you done talking now?
My gosh.
- Come on. - Get a move on.
- Can't you walk properly? - Hurry up.
Are you okay, Dong Soo?
Do I look okay to you?
Come on. The ones who aren't okay
are the guys who fell unconscious after getting beaten up by you.
We arrested all 10 of them.
Have you seen a young woman while regulating the scene?
She was about this tall, and she was wearing a backpack.
I didn't know Cho Hee Chul had a woman working for him.
I'm not sure, but I don't think she worked for him.
What would a woman be doing here at this hour?
Maybe you saw a ghost or something.
Hey, Gyung Tae.
Can you help me get out of here?
What's this?
(Lui Room Salon)
(Eunsoo Discount Store)
- Dong Soo. - What?
Well, Prosecutor Min is here.
Dong Soo, just tell her that you're sorry, and don't talk back.
Detective Kang.
Yes, Prosecutor Min.
Don't you have something to say to me?
No, not really.
Are you sure?
Well, if you really want me to say something,
I don't understand why I have to be
interrogated by you like this right now.
We caught Cho Hee Chul
as well as his secretary, who is his right-hand man,
so we should be able to find all the money he has stashed away.
Is that really all?
Wait, before that
I see that you're talking very casually to me all of a sudden.
If you'd like to know why I'm talking casually to you
It's because we're the only ones here now.
What is this about?
I asked you a question.
Well, what do you think I'm about to do now?
Have you really lost your mind? Are you an idiot?
Why didn't you follow your orders? How reckless.
What would you have done if something bad had happened?
Hey, but still How can you kick your fiance like that?
You didn't do anything good.
Come here. You deserve another kick.
Detectives can get minor injuries on the job.
Do you want me to become a widow even before we get married?
Do you know how worried I was?
I'm sorry.
If you're going to be like this, take a desk job.
National Police University graduates don't have to do fieldwork.
I have to be in the field to work with you.
You're so sexy when you work.
I don't want to miss even a single moment of that.
Detective Kang.
You always try to get away with such cheesy lines,
but I definitely won't let this slide today.
Do you know this?
When you tell me not to do something,
I think it's so adorable.
I've made it clear to you that I won't let it slide.
Don't ditch me.
You're the only one who can put up with me.
If you get injured again,
I'll break off our engagement.
I love you.
- Wait. - What now? What's the matter?
Do you notice anything different with me?
I'm not sure. Those clothes aren't new.
Let's see.
Oh, your necklace! That's the one I gave you.
No, not that.
You still don't know?
Your bangs. You trimmed your bangs, didn't you? By about 0.5cm?
Here.
- You picked up the ring. - Yes.
How does it look? D from Dong Soo, and J from Ji Soo.
It's one of a kind.
What's wrong? You don't like it?
No, it's not that. It's nice. It looks amazing.

Gosh, I feel so refreshed now.
So you're saying that woman
must've arrived at the scene before the incident took place,
- right? - Yes.
Don't you think it's a little strange?
- It's very strange. - There's something else. Come here.
Have a look at this.
This is the footage from the most recent case she was spotted.
Is this in her notebook too?
Yes.
What is this? There's no driver in the car.
That's not important.
Why did she jump into the road right at that moment?
You're right.
It almost looks like she knew that the accident was going to happen.
- Dong Soo, could she be - Could she be what?
Could she be a psychic?
Maybe she can channel a very powerful spirit,
who tells her about these incidents before they take place. So
- Gyung Tae. - this psychic Yes?
Hey, how can a detective say such a thing?
Come here. Get back here. Hey. I said, get back here.
Hey, what? A psychic?
Oh, that's right.
Something came up for me that day, so she filled in for me.
How did you two meet?
I posted about it on an online job board,
and she contacted me right away.
Other moms told me
that she told them she'd like to stay a little longer
when they were wrapping up.
The universe must've helped that kid.
Would I be able to get her contact information from you?
I didn't save her number on my phone.
If I go through my call history Just a moment, please.
There it is.
Oh, there's something even the police don't know.
The kid who was in the car also goes to this school.
I heard that the kid's mom, who was driving, couldn't see him
because she bent down to pick up her phone.
Thank goodness he wasn't hit.
Hello?
You called me. Why aren't you talking?
Detective Kang Dong Soo, right?
You're in Violent Crimes Unit at Joongki Police Station.
Who are you?
Shouldn't you be thanking me first?
What?
I guess you don't remember.
I saved your life.
- I'm sorry! - Why do you keep apologizing?
What's going on here?
You have something that belongs to me, right?
The drawings in here
are sketches of crime scenes from the last few months.
Are you a journalist for a newspaper company?
No, I'm not.
Then are you a TV news reporter?
No, another wrong guess.
Is this a quiz or what?
You asked me, so I answered. What's your problem?
What did you just say?
Forget it if you didn't hear it.
Both your personality and hearing are bad.
You're right. I have a nasty temper, and even my hearing is bad.
- Gosh, wait. - I'm deaf.
What on earth are you doing now?
I have this thing in my hands, but you're trying to get me riled up,
so I figured this probably isn't important to you.
Wait, don't. Just a second.
Hands off.
Good. I like that look on your face now.
It looks like we can finally have a serious conversation now.
Right?
That's a lot more important than you think.
What's so important about it?
Fine. If you can't answer that, let me ask you a different question.
You must remember the ring on the woman's finger in your last drawing.
My fiancee is wearing the exact same ring.
I saw that ring for the first time yesterday.
How on earth were you able to draw that ring?
Your girlfriend was wearing that ring?
She's not my girlfriend,
- but my fiancee. - Are you sure it's the ring
from the sketch?
Hey. Hey. I'm not done.
Freeze. Hang up!
Captain Moon, it's me.
I think I found the second victim.
Yes. I'll return to the office now.
Victim? What do you mean?
Can you believe me?
Can you believe me
if I told you the truth?
Let's go.
- I'm back. - Hey, Corporal Yoo.
What? Corporal Yoo?
You're a cop?
Welcome.
I'm Moon Jae Hyun.
Do you know me?
Every police officer in Korea knows the name, Moon Jae Hyun.
Okay. Say hi.
This is Lieutenant Oh Young Shim.
She won the worldwide
police hacking competition three years in a row.
- Four years. - What?
I won four years in a row, not three.
I stopped competing afterwards because it was boring.
So she says.
You obviously met Corporal Yoo.
Let me formally introduce myself.
I'm Corporal Yoo Si Hyun.
What is this place?
It's a newly formed special investigation team.
However, we haven't officially started yet.
Special investigation team?
So? What are you investigating?
It isn't that different from what you do.
If I were to point out the differences,
our team is more specialized in preventing crimes.
Lieutenant.
Thank you.
I'd like to hear more about those drawings in that notebook.
Take a look.
I didn't draw these after seeing the crime scene.
I drew them one to three days
before the crime was committed.
We call these "sketches".
Would you repeat that?
I think I misheard you.
These drawings
were all drawn before the incidents occurred.
Am I being punked? Is there a camera back there?
I know it's hard to accept.
So all of these drawings
predicted incidents in the future?
And the incidents actually occurred just as they were shown?
- Yes. - And
you're the one who drew them?
Yes.
Interesting, right?
Keep listening. It'll get even more interesting.
I'm disappointed.
Someone like you
playing along with this ridiculous waste of time. Seriously?
Don't you believe it to an extent?
You believe in my drawings to an extent.
That's why you tried to find me.
Because you thought the woman in the sketch
wearing the ring, to be specific,
your fiancee, was in danger.
I finished scanning them.
We'll do our job
whether you believe us or not.
The first sketch is a pregnancy test.
Two lines indicate she's pregnant.
But I don't know what that black thing.
These drawings show us images of a future crime
randomly.
The clock is stopped at 6:50.
That must be the time of the crime.
The images in Corporal Yoo's sketches
occur within three days at the latest.
There were no cases
at 6:50am this morning,
so the soonest possible time
is 6:50pm this evening.
We have about five hours.
Why don't you work with us at least on this case?
If you work with us,
it'll be of great help in preventing this crime.
Looking at the sketch,
your fiancee is involved too.
Detective Kang.
Are you just going to leave?
I don't believe in your nonsense about drawing the future.
And you. Go see a doctor.
It's not taboo to see a shrink anymore.
And if Just if
If I believed you,
what do you think I'd do?
Tell me.
I'm going to stay with Ji Soo.
Right.
And that black thing earlier.
It's an ankle monitor.
Will you just let him go?
It isn't like you.
He'll be back.
No. He'll have no choice but to come back.
That's the rule of my sketches.
An ankle monitor. So it's a sex offender.
The percent of repeat offenders dropped since the ankle monitors
were implemented, but it's still two percent.
It means 2 out of 100 will commit the crime again.
The broken desk clock looks unique.
Did you look into that?
That clock was given out by a bank as a gift.
There were 500 made.
It'll be impossible to trace who took one.
Then we have no leads.
Hold on.
That man behind the woman. Zoom in on him.
Okay.
Onesang International.
It's a trading company in Jongno.
There's a high probability that she works near there too.
You want to search every restaurant in Jongno?
That's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This is our only lead.
Whether we look for a needle in a haystack or an honest politician,
let's get moving.
What?
You're a prosecutor.
You should eat properly.
You always eat convenience store food.
The cases pile up, and there's never enough time.
What choice do I have? I need to cut down on eating time.
Gosh.
Gosh.
Gosh. You are so sloppy.
I was saving that for later.
Take it back.
Why you What are you doing?
We're in a public place. Have some modesty.
No one can judge me for kissing something that belongs to me.
Gosh.
But seriously. What's up?
You see
Sex offender?
That's right.
Among the cases you're handling now,
Are you in charge of any cases that are related to sex offenders?
No, not right now.
I did indict two sex offenders in the past,
but they're both in prison right now.
Who do you ask?
No, it's nothing.
It's been a while since you took some time off from work, right?
Why don't you take two days off and spend some time with me?
Why all of a sudden?
I know prosecutors are allowed to go on monthly leaves.
Let's just spend two days together.
It's been a while since we spent some time together alone.
Do you know how many cases I'm in charge of right now?
Of course.
- How many? - Well
A lot.
All I'm asking for is just two days. Can you please do me a favor?
That's enough.
You're being way too irrational.
If you do this for me,
I promise that I'll
What?
I'll get an office position after we get married.
- Really? - Have you
ever seen me break a promise?
Are you being serious?
You're not joking, right?
Take a couple days off work, okay?
- Can we get some more side dishes? - Okay.
- Just a moment. - Can we have some water?
- Okay. - Can we have some more vegetables?
Okay, just a second.
Can we have more rice?
- Did you enjoy your meal? - Yes.
Can we get some more side dishes?
Jin Young. Jin Young.
- Hey, it's been so long. - Oh, hey.
You haven't changed at all.
You look exactly the same as well.
You're still so pretty.
What's wrong?
- No, it's nothing. - Let's all meet up one day.
- Sure, that sounds great. - Okay.
- Go home safely. - Bye.
- See you. - I'll call you.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
Is there a restaurant nearby that looks like this?
I'm not sure.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Have you ever seen a restaurant that looks like this?
- Thank you. - I'm sorry.
I'll be right there.
Can you please take a look?
(Webfoot Octopus and Spicy Rice Cakes)
(Jinsin Restaurant, Grilled Ribs)
(Sundae Rice Soup)
(Vegetable Rice Soup, Whelks)
Let's go.
Ma'am, can you help me out?
I don't know where this is.
Can we have some more side dishes?
- Okay, just a moment. - Excuse me.
We're almost out of time.
Let's just pray
that nothing will happen today.
I don't pray.
Are you an atheist?
Lieutenant Oh.
I started foreseeing people's deaths ever since I was five years old.
I saw them dying way before they even died.
So it's hard for me to be an atheist.
The faces of all the people
I failed to save
still haunt me even to this day.
So I've been sleeping with the lights on for 10 years.
So how do you think I'd cope without believing in a deity?
I definitely believe that there's a deity.
But it's just that I'm really annoyed
by that so-called deity.
What's wrong? It's just me.
I'm sorry. Did I startle you?
What brings you here at this hour? I thought you were going to be late.
I came because I suddenly had to go on a business trip.
I came to get some stuff.
You didn't eat, did you? I'll quickly fix you a meal.
It smells great.
You must be hungry. Just wait a little bit. It won't take long.
Okay.
But you need to earn your right to eat.
Can you please throw this away along with the recyclable waste?
You stack all the food waste until I get home, don't you?
Of course. Why would I throw it out myself when I have you?
What's wrong?
Can you take that off?
Why?
It's weird that you're the only one wearing our engagement ring.
It's not weird. I think it's pretty.
I'll be getting mine next week.
Let's both wear it together when mine comes. Please?
Detective Kang, why are you acting so strange?
Can you please just take it off?
My fingers can't stand feeling all lonely and left out.
Can you please not wear it just for a couple of days?
There. Are you happy?
Thank you.
You're being so weird today.
- Hello? - Hey, it's me.
And who exactly is that?
Do you think
we're close enough to joke around with each other?
You're the one who called me.
So you should be more precise about who you are.
How am I supposed to know who you are
if you just say, "It's me", as soon as I pick up?
I'm sorry.
How are things going?
I just talked to Captain Moon on the phone.
And thankfully, no one's reported anything yet.
Hello?
You said your sketches happen within three days, right?
I thought you didn't believe in my sketches.
Has it ever been wrong?
No, not yet.
Never?
That's right. Never.
Well, you're wrong.
I don't know about until now, but it'll be different this time.
Ji Soo will never die.
I hope so.
That's why I'm doing my best to prevent anything from happening.
It'd be so much better if you could help
I can't believe he just hung up after saying what he had to say.
He makes it so hard for me to like him.
Si Hyun!
I found her.
Hey, this is the place, right?
Yes.
Oh, this young lady.
Yes, I know her. She was here earlier today.
What was her name?
I think it was something like Lee Jin Young.
Do you happen to know where she works?
No, I don't.
You know her name, but you don't know where she works?
I only know her name because of that thing.
(Customer Name: Lee Jin Young)
- Analyze this as soon as you can. - Got it.
Well, how's your ear?
It's fine now.
That woman resisted pretty viciously, didn't she?
That's all right. It made it more fun.
Well, I think I've found our new target.
Here.
I've been tailing her for about two days.
There are no restricted areas for those with electronic anklets
like kindergartens or schools around where she lives.
That sounds pretty good.
So when do you want to do it?
How about tomorrow?
- Tomorrow? - 6:30pm.
Let's meet her in front of her place.
Okay, sounds good.
Yes, hold on.
You What brings you here?
Who is it?
Hello, I'm Corporal Yoo Si Hyun.
We worked on a case together a little while ago.
You're Prosecutor Min Ji Soo, right?
I've heard a lot about you.
Really? What did he say about me?
He said that you're pretty, kind,
and What else did you say?
Stop beating around the bush. What's going on?
Spare me some time. 10 minutes would do.
I managed to confirm the identity of the victim in my drawing.
That's good news.
But like I've told you, I'm going to stay right by Ji Soo's side.
That's not why I'm here.
Then what is it?
There's something you should know about my drawings.
I don't know what this is about,
but I really don't want to know. I'm not interested at all.
But you must know.
Prosecutor Min Ji Soo's life may depend on this.
Here.
The Principle of Causality. Do you know what it is?
Cause and effect.
Good things happen to those who do good deeds,
and those who commit bad deeds are punished.
That's the general understanding,
but it's really not that simple.
In my opinion, it's one of the basic laws of physics
that make up the world we live in.
In other words, everything happens for a reason.
And the things that are happening now
cause things that will happen in the future.
So?
Have a look at my drawing. The man who's holding her in his arms
is probably you.
Are you saying I'll probably be with her when she dies?
The drawings only show results.
I don't know how those results come about.
What is it that you want to say?
Changing the future means changing such results.
The cause must be altered for the results to change.
We can say that you holding Prosecutor Min in your arms
after she dies is considered one of the results.
- In order to change that - I shouldn't be with her?
Yes.
But the thing is, I can't guarantee
that will change the future you see in my drawings.
The predictions in my drawings have never been wrong.
Nevertheless, I think we should try everything we can.
The decision is yours.
If you trust my drawings, that is.
What are you doing?
I asked you what you're doing.
Nothing.
Aren't you hungry?
I feel too lazy to cook. Shall we order something?
How about one of your favorites, jokbal?
- Ji Soo. - Why? You don't want jokbal?
Then how about pizza?
Hear me out, okay?
So what you're saying
is that you have to go out because something urgent has come up.
But I can't go anywhere, and I have to stay home.
And you can't tell me the reason.
Is that it?
Okay.
- What? - I said, "Okay."
You'll get your way and do what you want to do anyway.
But there are two things that I want to make sure.
First, you promised me that you'd transfer to a desk position
after we get married. You'll keep that promise, right?
- Yes. - Second.
You've been acting strange since yesterday,
and you'll have to tell me the reason even if it's later on.
That's a given.
Then get going. It sounded pretty urgent.
- There's one more thing. - What now?
Thanks. Thanks so much for coming.
Like I told you over the phone,
you have to stay right by Prosecutor Min's side all day long.
It's not like I have a choice.
I must obey.
So is he going to watch me all day?
Gosh, that's
Don't put it that way.
- He's just What was that? - A secretary.
Just think of him as your secretary for the day.
Gyung Tae.
- Detective Ahn Gyung Tae. - Yes.
- Take good care of her, please. - I most certainly will.
All right.
Detective Kang.
Don't get hurt.
- Now, tell me. - Pardon?
Tell you what?
You must know why Dong Soo is doing all this.
I must know?
Well, I know something? What could that be?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Detective Kang, are you
Forget it. Let's just go.
Okay.
- Let's go in. - Hold on.
What now?
Obviously, we take Lee Jin Young somewhere safe.
Take her somewhere safe.
Sure. If Lee Jin Young is gone, the culprit will give up.
But does that end it?
I'm sure he'll target another woman.
But if Lee Jin Young is there,
the culprit will target her and show up as the sketch shows.
Dong Soo. That sounds like
you want to use her as bait. Did I hear you right?
Think how you will. I'm only sure about one thing.
If we don't catch him today, we wouldn't have stopped
the crime in your drawings.
We're just pushing off her misfortune onto someone else.
Is this because of Ms. Min Ji Soo?
Because we must catch the perp for her to be safe.
Who's there?
Ms. Lee Jin Young?
Yes.
Police.
But why is the police
Have you seen someone suspicious lately?
Pardon?
Has a stranger been following you?
Why do you ask
The police received a threatening letter.
A threatening letter?
It may be a prank,
but seeing how it had your name written in it,
we don't think it should be taken lightly.
But why didn't it come to me?
Why did it go to the police?
We may be the police,
but we can't understand why a criminal does what he or she does.
But don't worry.
We will protect you.
I pulled up a list of ex-cons wearing ankle monitors
within a 30km radius of Lee Jin Young's home. Check it.
Please see if any of them look familiar.
Hey.
How are things outside?
There's nothing suspicious.
- It occurs at 6:50pm, right? - Yes.
Then we'll find out in three hours.
What's up? We were supposed to meet in front of her place.
Well, about that.
When you think about it, I'm the one who picks up the women,
and I'm also the one scoping out the location.
Since you can't move around because of your ankle monitor.
So?
You can do it without me?
No, no. That's not what I mean.
I thought maybe I could take more of a lead
You seem to be confused.
We're not friends.
I give the orders,
and you
do as you're told.
Got it?
Answer me.
Okay. I got it.
Sorry.
See you later.
Okay.
Your husband is very handsome.
I'm jealous.
He's a good person.
We dated for five years
and were married for three, but he hasn't changed.
He's faithful and sweet.
Are you trying to torment me?
I'm a single woman who fears the long nights.
If you show off how happy you are, I'll lock you up.
Right?
I am happy for sure
I should be happy,
but at times,
I wonder if this is the happiness that I want.
We're both too busy to see each other,
and we sleep on days off because we're so tired.
I think happiness is overrated.
So happiness
is like Santa Claus.
Many people believe it exists,
but no one has ever seen it.
You love your husband, right?
Having someone who is always on your side
is a luxury most people don't enjoy.
It's much better than fleeting happiness.
You already have it.
Do you think so?
Of course.
And it'll be better once your baby is born.
What Did you just
You're pregnant. Congratulations.
Jin Young.
- How did you know? - Sorry?
How did you know that I was pregnant?
I saw the pregnancy test in the bathroom, so
Jin Young.
Jin Young!
Stop it!
You said you loved your husband.
You're pregnant with his baby, so why
The baby
isn't your husband's?
Hello?
What?
Jin Young is not the victim of this crime.
What happened?
That jerk assaulted Jin Young already last month.
What?
That woman resisted pretty viciously, didn't she?
Well, how's your ear?
That's all right. It made it more fun.
Cheer up baby
Hang in there
Jin Young was the link to the next victim.
Hi, hubby. Where are you?
I just got to the bus terminal.
Then you should be here soon.
I need to see someone first.
It'll take me a couple of hours.
I wish you'd hurry home.
I prepared a surprise for you.
A surprise?
What is it?
If I told you that, it wouldn't be a surprise.
But I'm sure you'll love it.
You won't take long, right?
No, I'll be right there.
Honey, I love you so much.
(Contacts)
(Prosecutor Min Ji Soo)
Detective Ahn, why don't you ease up a little?
What? Oh, I'm actually really comfortable right now.
Hey, Sergeant Kim.
I'm glad you called.
Have you thought about it?
Can I meet up with you right now?
- Right now? - Yes.
I have something to tell you.
Where should we meet?
What about that table clock?
That clock was at the crime scene.
Like I told you last time,
500 of those were clocks were given away as free gifts.
That means 500 people own the same clock.
(Minjoong Bank)
What should we do?
We have less than an hour left.
Do you know what's worse?
Now,
we're out of clues.
(Sketch)
If you can't remember his face, can you remember his voice?
- His accent? - I bit
his earlobe.
He's working as a mechanic.
- It's 10 minutes away from there. - Excuse me.
What's Prosecutor Min's car doing here?
- Dong Soo. - Ji Soo!
Go catch him.
I'll save Prosecutor Min.
I'm not trying to criticize you.
I'm just saying a lot of things
could've turned out differently according to your choice.
Do you think my judgement was wrong?
It's different from my sketch.
All I want is to be able to protect just one person.
It's not over yet.
I don't regret my decision.
(All characters, organizations, places, and happenings)
(in this drama are all fake and are not based on a true story.)
There isn't much time left.
Tonight,
someone will die.
(Episode 1)
- What's up? - Hey, Dong Soo. Where are you now?
- Pier Three. - Oh, I see.
I'm at Pier Four. Yes.
This is where the police forces are supposed to gather, you know.
Pier 4, not 3.
Oh, really? I didn't know.
What are you talking about? We heard it together.
Why on earth are you there?
My dear buddy, Gyung Tae.
Cho Hee Chul is a total scumbag,
but he's not an idiot.
What are you talking about now?
Speak Korean, will you?
Detective Kang.
My gosh, Prosecutor Min Ji Soo.
I know how busy you are. How did you make time to go all the way there?
I'll keep this short. Come here this instant.
Since you want to keep this short,
I won't say much.
The tip we received about how he will be coming to Pier Four
is fake.
On what grounds are you saying this?
The police and the prosecution
received the tip about Cho Hee Chul planning to stow away
to the Philippines through Pier Four at the same time.
Don't you think that it's a little strange?
Do you think someone leaked it on purpose?
If we follow the traces Cho Hee Chul left on purpose,
we'll never be able to catch him.
Can you prove what you just said?
Hold on, okay?
Look at the camera, guys. Say, "Cheese".
So what do you say? Isn't Cho Hee Chul very photogenic?
Detective Kang, we'll send you backup as soon as possible,
so don't do anything alone.
Yes, ma'am.
Are we clear?
I'm not asking you. I'm giving you an order as a prosecutor.
Right. I'll stay right here, so just send me backup already.
I'll be waiting.
Hey, do you want a beer?
No.
Hey, take the bandage off.
- Pardon? - Your bandage. Take it off.
What about the coroner?
I sent him a big check.
I told him we'd pay more after the job is done.
The con artist of the century who earned
two billion dollars through a pyramid scheme, Cho Hee Chul,
drowns in the sea while trying to stow away.
Then the case will close just like that.
It's a pretty good scenario.
My body double who will go on the autopsy table is here.
Let's get over this quickly.
You have to keep your promise
to give 500,000 dollars
to my family when I die.
Have faith. Haven't you heard? "Blessed are the faithful."
Okay.
Hey. Forget this. Give him a hand.
I can do it.
I can do it! I
Hey!
What shenanigans are you up to in the moonlight?
Come on. What is this nonsense.
Are you going to the Olympics?
Are you practicing diving?
But look. You have the wrong diver.
Detective Kang Dong Soo?
You are one skilled pig.
How did you find us here?
Hey you. Cho Hee Chul. From this moment forth,
you are under arrest for fraud,
running a pyramid scheme, and three counts of murder.
You have the right to remain silent,
so shut that stinky pie hole.
You'll take on all of us all by yourself?
Stop.
You won't be cheap and use weapons, will you?
Step back.
I removed the blank and filled it up with live rounds.
I have plenty of bullets, so don't worry about
not getting one.
Hey. Detective Kang.
Why are you so devoted? It's not like they pay you much.
If you'd just look the other way,
I'll make it worth your while.
Hey. Forget it.
You made that money on the blood of innocent people.
It stinks too much of rotten blood
for me to take it.
Really? Okay then.
You'll just have to die.
That's why you should've agreed when I said I'd pay you.
You happy? Are you happy?
But sorry.
I really like this situation.
It's not my style to cuff scumbags like you nicely.
It's not my thing.
Historically,
you need a bat to teach a mad dog.
I'll show you how to catch
a mad dog.
What are you waiting for?
Why you
Cho Hee Chul! Move it.
Run quickly!
There are two left.
Freeze!
Hey, mister. What are you doing?
I'm sorry, but I think you're confused.
I'm a cop. I'm here to save you.
I need to die here.
We need money for my daughter's surgery.
Without it, my girl, Ji Sun, will die.
How are you so clueless?
Look! Do you think he'll pay you just because you die here?
I have no other choice. I'm sorry!
Why do you keep apologizing?
What's going on here?
What
Look at this mess. Are you going to clean this all up?
People have no conscience.
Do you know her?
No.
Who are you?
Me? I'll tell you who I am.
I'm an angel. An angel.
I came to save your life,
- so I'm a guardian angel. - Don't Don't come closer.
I'll shoot for real.
It's your first time holding a gun, isn't it?
That's not the right form.
Straighten your elbows so that the hand holding the gun
and your shoulders make an isosceles triangle.
And maintain your center of balance a little forward.
That helps you withstand the recoil.
What are you talking about?
And most importantly,
if you want to shoot the gun, you must release the safety.
Stay down.
Gosh, I almost died.
Who are you?
This isn't the time for questions.
Shouldn't you go after Cho Hee Chul?
Darn it.
Hey, mister! Wait!
Don't come closer!
Don't do this.
I told you that I came to save your life.
You came to save my life? What about my daughter?
Can you save Ji Sun too?
Darn it.
(Big Sea)
Seriously.
Let me go.
I need to die in order to get the money,
and I need that money to save my daughter.
Talk about a devoted dad.
You must think you're making some grand sacrifice,
but you're wrong.
You're just running away from reality!
Then what do you want me to do?
Fight.
What?
I said to fight.
Your daughter is fighting her illness right now too.
Even your daughter is fighting. Why can't you?
What Ji Sun needs right now isn't money or a doctor.
She needs
someone who can fight alongside her!
If you still want to run away,
I'll let you go.
If not
If you want to fight with Ji Sun,
grab
Grab my hand.
Hey, wait!
My gosh, let's take a short break.
Gosh.
Okay, fine. Let's just keep going.
My gosh, you should've taken a break when I asked for one.
Here we go again.
Do you know the TV show called "The Kingdom of Animals"?
I really like that TV show.
The world may seem complicated,
but it moves based on one simple law.
Do you know what that is?
It's the law of the jungle.
The weak become the prey
of the strong.
Those who don't know or fail to acknowledge that one simple law
deserve to get hunted down.
You jerk.
- Are you laughing? - You dumb jerk.
"The Kingdom of Animals" that you speak of
The predators and prey live together in harmony.
It's just the nature of their ecosystem.
The law of the jungle
is just a term that was made by jerks like you.
Don't use it to back up your logic.
Your attitude is exactly why you'll end up dead in my hands.
Okay, fine. Are you done talking now?
My gosh.
- Come on. - Get a move on.
- Can't you walk properly? - Hurry up.
Are you okay, Dong Soo?
Do I look okay to you?
Come on. The ones who aren't okay
are the guys who fell unconscious after getting beaten up by you.
We arrested all 10 of them.
Have you seen a young woman while regulating the scene?
She was about this tall, and she was wearing a backpack.
I didn't know Cho Hee Chul had a woman working for him.
I'm not sure, but I don't think she worked for him.
What would a woman be doing here at this hour?
Maybe you saw a ghost or something.
Hey, Gyung Tae.
Can you help me get out of here?
What's this?
(Lui Room Salon)
(Eunsoo Discount Store)
- Dong Soo. - What?
Well, Prosecutor Min is here.
Dong Soo, just tell her that you're sorry, and don't talk back.
Detective Kang.
Yes, Prosecutor Min.
Don't you have something to say to me?
No, not really.
Are you sure?
Well, if you really want me to say something,
I don't understand why I have to be
interrogated by you like this right now.
We caught Cho Hee Chul
as well as his secretary, who is his right-hand man,
so we should be able to find all the money he has stashed away.
Is that really all?
Wait, before that
I see that you're talking very casually to me all of a sudden.
If you'd like to know why I'm talking casually to you
It's because we're the only ones here now.
What is this about?
I asked you a question.
Well, what do you think I'm about to do now?
Have you really lost your mind? Are you an idiot?
Why didn't you follow your orders? How reckless.
What would you have done if something bad had happened?
Hey, but still How can you kick your fiance like that?
You didn't do anything good.
Come here. You deserve another kick.
Detectives can get minor injuries on the job.
Do you want me to become a widow even before we get married?
Do you know how worried I was?
I'm sorry.
If you're going to be like this, take a desk job.
National Police University graduates don't have to do fieldwork.
I have to be in the field to work with you.
You're so sexy when you work.
I don't want to miss even a single moment of that.
Detective Kang.
You always try to get away with such cheesy lines,
but I definitely won't let this slide today.
Do you know this?
When you tell me not to do something,
I think it's so adorable.
I've made it clear to you that I won't let it slide.
Don't ditch me.
You're the only one who can put up with me.
If you get injured again,
I'll break off our engagement.
I love you.
- Wait. - What now? What's the matter?
Do you notice anything different with me?
I'm not sure. Those clothes aren't new.
Let's see.
Oh, your necklace! That's the one I gave you.
No, not that.
You still don't know?
Your bangs. You trimmed your bangs, didn't you? By about 0.5cm?
Here.
- You picked up the ring. - Yes.
How does it look? D from Dong Soo, and J from Ji Soo.
It's one of a kind.
What's wrong? You don't like it?
No, it's not that. It's nice. It looks amazing.

Gosh, I feel so refreshed now.
So you're saying that woman
must've arrived at the scene before the incident took place,
- right? - Yes.
Don't you think it's a little strange?
- It's very strange. - There's something else. Come here.
Have a look at this.
This is the footage from the most recent case she was spotted.
Is this in her notebook too?
Yes.
What is this? There's no driver in the car.
That's not important.
Why did she jump into the road right at that moment?
You're right.
It almost looks like she knew that the accident was going to happen.
- Dong Soo, could she be - Could she be what?
Could she be a psychic?
Maybe she can channel a very powerful spirit,
who tells her about these incidents before they take place. So
- Gyung Tae. - this psychic Yes?
Hey, how can a detective say such a thing?
Come here. Get back here. Hey. I said, get back here.
Hey, what? A psychic?
Oh, that's right.
Something came up for me that day, so she filled in for me.
How did you two meet?
I posted about it on an online job board,
and she contacted me right away.
Other moms told me
that she told them she'd like to stay a little longer
when they were wrapping up.
The universe must've helped that kid.
Would I be able to get her contact information from you?
I didn't save her number on my phone.
If I go through my call history Just a moment, please.
There it is.
Oh, there's something even the police don't know.
The kid who was in the car also goes to this school.
I heard that the kid's mom, who was driving, couldn't see him
because she bent down to pick up her phone.
Thank goodness he wasn't hit.
Hello?
You called me. Why aren't you talking?
Detective Kang Dong Soo, right?
You're in Violent Crimes Unit at Joongki Police Station.
Who are you?
Shouldn't you be thanking me first?
What?
I guess you don't remember.
I saved your life.
- I'm sorry! - Why do you keep apologizing?
What's going on here?
You have something that belongs to me, right?
The drawings in here
are sketches of crime scenes from the last few months.
Are you a journalist for a newspaper company?
No, I'm not.
Then are you a TV news reporter?
No, another wrong guess.
Is this a quiz or what?
You asked me, so I answered. What's your problem?
What did you just say?
Forget it if you didn't hear it.
Both your personality and hearing are bad.
You're right. I have a nasty temper, and even my hearing is bad.
- Gosh, wait. - I'm deaf.
What on earth are you doing now?
I have this thing in my hands, but you're trying to get me riled up,
so I figured this probably isn't important to you.
Wait, don't. Just a second.
Hands off.
Good. I like that look on your face now.
It looks like we can finally have a serious conversation now.
Right?
That's a lot more important than you think.
What's so important about it?
Fine. If you can't answer that, let me ask you a different question.
You must remember the ring on the woman's finger in your last drawing.
My fiancee is wearing the exact same ring.
I saw that ring for the first time yesterday.
How on earth were you able to draw that ring?
Your girlfriend was wearing that ring?
She's not my girlfriend,
- but my fiancee. - Are you sure it's the ring
from the sketch?
Hey. Hey. I'm not done.
Freeze. Hang up!
Captain Moon, it's me.
I think I found the second victim.
Yes. I'll return to the office now.
Victim? What do you mean?
Can you believe me?
Can you believe me
if I told you the truth?
Let's go.
- I'm back. - Hey, Corporal Yoo.
What? Corporal Yoo?
You're a cop?
Welcome.
I'm Moon Jae Hyun.
Do you know me?
Every police officer in Korea knows the name, Moon Jae Hyun.
Okay. Say hi.
This is Lieutenant Oh Young Shim.
She won the worldwide
police hacking competition three years in a row.
- Four years. - What?
I won four years in a row, not three.
I stopped competing afterwards because it was boring.
So she says.
You obviously met Corporal Yoo.
Let me formally introduce myself.
I'm Corporal Yoo Si Hyun.
What is this place?
It's a newly formed special investigation team.
However, we haven't officially started yet.
Special investigation team?
So? What are you investigating?
It isn't that different from what you do.
If I were to point out the differences,
our team is more specialized in preventing crimes.
Lieutenant.
Thank you.
I'd like to hear more about those drawings in that notebook.
Take a look.
I didn't draw these after seeing the crime scene.
I drew them one to three days
before the crime was committed.
We call these "sketches".
Would you repeat that?
I think I misheard you.
These drawings
were all drawn before the incidents occurred.
Am I being punked? Is there a camera back there?
I know it's hard to accept.
So all of these drawings
predicted incidents in the future?
And the incidents actually occurred just as they were shown?
- Yes. - And
you're the one who drew them?
Yes.
Interesting, right?
Keep listening. It'll get even more interesting.
I'm disappointed.
Someone like you
playing along with this ridiculous waste of time. Seriously?
Don't you believe it to an extent?
You believe in my drawings to an extent.
That's why you tried to find me.
Because you thought the woman in the sketch
wearing the ring, to be specific,
your fiancee, was in danger.
I finished scanning them.
We'll do our job
whether you believe us or not.
The first sketch is a pregnancy test.
Two lines indicate she's pregnant.
But I don't know what that black thing.
These drawings show us images of a future crime
randomly.
The clock is stopped at 6:50.
That must be the time of the crime.
The images in Corporal Yoo's sketches
occur within three days at the latest.
There were no cases
at 6:50am this morning,
so the soonest possible time
is 6:50pm this evening.
We have about five hours.
Why don't you work with us at least on this case?
If you work with us,
it'll be of great help in preventing this crime.
Looking at the sketch,
your fiancee is involved too.
Detective Kang.
Are you just going to leave?
I don't believe in your nonsense about drawing the future.
And you. Go see a doctor.
It's not taboo to see a shrink anymore.
And if Just if
If I believed you,
what do you think I'd do?
Tell me.
I'm going to stay with Ji Soo.
Right.
And that black thing earlier.
It's an ankle monitor.
Will you just let him go?
It isn't like you.
He'll be back.
No. He'll have no choice but to come back.
That's the rule of my sketches.
An ankle monitor. So it's a sex offender.
The percent of repeat offenders dropped since the ankle monitors
were implemented, but it's still two percent.
It means 2 out of 100 will commit the crime again.
The broken desk clock looks unique.
Did you look into that?
That clock was given out by a bank as a gift.
There were 500 made.
It'll be impossible to trace who took one.
Then we have no leads.
Hold on.
That man behind the woman. Zoom in on him.
Okay.
Onesang International.
It's a trading company in Jongno.
There's a high probability that she works near there too.
You want to search every restaurant in Jongno?
That's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This is our only lead.
Whether we look for a needle in a haystack or an honest politician,
let's get moving.
What?
You're a prosecutor.
You should eat properly.
You always eat convenience store food.
The cases pile up, and there's never enough time.
What choice do I have? I need to cut down on eating time.
Gosh.
Gosh.
Gosh. You are so sloppy.
I was saving that for later.
Take it back.
Why you What are you doing?
We're in a public place. Have some modesty.
No one can judge me for kissing something that belongs to me.
Gosh.
But seriously. What's up?
You see
Sex offender?
That's right.
Among the cases you're handling now,
Are you in charge of any cases that are related to sex offenders?
No, not right now.
I did indict two sex offenders in the past,
but they're both in prison right now.
Who do you ask?
No, it's nothing.
It's been a while since you took some time off from work, right?
Why don't you take two days off and spend some time with me?
Why all of a sudden?
I know prosecutors are allowed to go on monthly leaves.
Let's just spend two days together.
It's been a while since we spent some time together alone.
Do you know how many cases I'm in charge of right now?
Of course.
- How many? - Well
A lot.
All I'm asking for is just two days. Can you please do me a favor?
That's enough.
You're being way too irrational.
If you do this for me,
I promise that I'll
What?
I'll get an office position after we get married.
- Really? - Have you
ever seen me break a promise?
Are you being serious?
You're not joking, right?
Take a couple days off work, okay?
- Can we get some more side dishes? - Okay.
- Just a moment. - Can we have some water?
- Okay. - Can we have some more vegetables?
Okay, just a second.
Can we have more rice?
- Did you enjoy your meal? - Yes.
Can we get some more side dishes?
Jin Young. Jin Young.
- Hey, it's been so long. - Oh, hey.
You haven't changed at all.
You look exactly the same as well.
You're still so pretty.
What's wrong?
- No, it's nothing. - Let's all meet up one day.
- Sure, that sounds great. - Okay.
- Go home safely. - Bye.
- See you. - I'll call you.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
Is there a restaurant nearby that looks like this?
I'm not sure.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Have you ever seen a restaurant that looks like this?
- Thank you. - I'm sorry.
I'll be right there.
Can you please take a look?
(Webfoot Octopus and Spicy Rice Cakes)
(Jinsin Restaurant, Grilled Ribs)
(Sundae Rice Soup)
(Vegetable Rice Soup, Whelks)
Let's go.
Ma'am, can you help me out?
I don't know where this is.
Can we have some more side dishes?
- Okay, just a moment. - Excuse me.
We're almost out of time.
Let's just pray
that nothing will happen today.
I don't pray.
Are you an atheist?
Lieutenant Oh.
I started foreseeing people's deaths ever since I was five years old.
I saw them dying way before they even died.
So it's hard for me to be an atheist.
The faces of all the people
I failed to save
still haunt me even to this day.
So I've been sleeping with the lights on for 10 years.
So how do you think I'd cope without believing in a deity?
I definitely believe that there's a deity.
But it's just that I'm really annoyed
by that so-called deity.
What's wrong? It's just me.
I'm sorry. Did I startle you?
What brings you here at this hour? I thought you were going to be late.
I came because I suddenly had to go on a business trip.
I came to get some stuff.
You didn't eat, did you? I'll quickly fix you a meal.
It smells great.
You must be hungry. Just wait a little bit. It won't take long.
Okay.
But you need to earn your right to eat.
Can you please throw this away along with the recyclable waste?
You stack all the food waste until I get home, don't you?
Of course. Why would I throw it out myself when I have you?
What's wrong?
Can you take that off?
Why?
It's weird that you're the only one wearing our engagement ring.
It's not weird. I think it's pretty.
I'll be getting mine next week.
Let's both wear it together when mine comes. Please?
Detective Kang, why are you acting so strange?
Can you please just take it off?
My fingers can't stand feeling all lonely and left out.
Can you please not wear it just for a couple of days?
There. Are you happy?
Thank you.
You're being so weird today.
- Hello? - Hey, it's me.
And who exactly is that?
Do you think
we're close enough to joke around with each other?
You're the one who called me.
So you should be more precise about who you are.
How am I supposed to know who you are
if you just say, "It's me", as soon as I pick up?
I'm sorry.
How are things going?
I just talked to Captain Moon on the phone.
And thankfully, no one's reported anything yet.
Hello?
You said your sketches happen within three days, right?
I thought you didn't believe in my sketches.
Has it ever been wrong?
No, not yet.
Never?
That's right. Never.
Well, you're wrong.
I don't know about until now, but it'll be different this time.
Ji Soo will never die.
I hope so.
That's why I'm doing my best to prevent anything from happening.
It'd be so much better if you could help
I can't believe he just hung up after saying what he had to say.
He makes it so hard for me to like him.
Si Hyun!
I found her.
Hey, this is the place, right?
Yes.
Oh, this young lady.
Yes, I know her. She was here earlier today.
What was her name?
I think it was something like Lee Jin Young.
Do you happen to know where she works?
No, I don't.
You know her name, but you don't know where she works?
I only know her name because of that thing.
(Customer Name: Lee Jin Young)
- Analyze this as soon as you can. - Got it.
Well, how's your ear?
It's fine now.
That woman resisted pretty viciously, didn't she?
That's all right. It made it more fun.
Well, I think I've found our new target.
Here.
I've been tailing her for about two days.
There are no restricted areas for those with electronic anklets
like kindergartens or schools around where she lives.
That sounds pretty good.
So when do you want to do it?
How about tomorrow?
- Tomorrow? - 6:30pm.
Let's meet her in front of her place.
Okay, sounds good.
Yes, hold on.
You What brings you here?
Who is it?
Hello, I'm Corporal Yoo Si Hyun.
We worked on a case together a little while ago.
You're Prosecutor Min Ji Soo, right?
I've heard a lot about you.
Really? What did he say about me?
He said that you're pretty, kind,
and What else did you say?
Stop beating around the bush. What's going on?
Spare me some time. 10 minutes would do.
I managed to confirm the identity of the victim in my drawing.
That's good news.
But like I've told you, I'm going to stay right by Ji Soo's side.
That's not why I'm here.
Then what is it?
There's something you should know about my drawings.
I don't know what this is about,
but I really don't want to know. I'm not interested at all.
But you must know.
Prosecutor Min Ji Soo's life may depend on this.
Here.
The Principle of Causality. Do you know what it is?
Cause and effect.
Good things happen to those who do good deeds,
and those who commit bad deeds are punished.
That's the general understanding,
but it's really not that simple.
In my opinion, it's one of the basic laws of physics
that make up the world we live in.
In other words, everything happens for a reason.
And the things that are happening now
cause things that will happen in the future.
So?
Have a look at my drawing. The man who's holding her in his arms
is probably you.
Are you saying I'll probably be with her when she dies?
The drawings only show results.
I don't know how those results come about.
What is it that you want to say?
Changing the future means changing such results.
The cause must be altered for the results to change.
We can say that you holding Prosecutor Min in your arms
after she dies is considered one of the results.
- In order to change that - I shouldn't be with her?
Yes.
But the thing is, I can't guarantee
that will change the future you see in my drawings.
The predictions in my drawings have never been wrong.
Nevertheless, I think we should try everything we can.
The decision is yours.
If you trust my drawings, that is.
What are you doing?
I asked you what you're doing.
Nothing.
Aren't you hungry?
I feel too lazy to cook. Shall we order something?
How about one of your favorites, jokbal?
- Ji Soo. - Why? You don't want jokbal?
Then how about pizza?
Hear me out, okay?
So what you're saying
is that you have to go out because something urgent has come up.
But I can't go anywhere, and I have to stay home.
And you can't tell me the reason.
Is that it?
Okay.
- What? - I said, "Okay."
You'll get your way and do what you want to do anyway.
But there are two things that I want to make sure.
First, you promised me that you'd transfer to a desk position
after we get married. You'll keep that promise, right?
- Yes. - Second.
You've been acting strange since yesterday,
and you'll have to tell me the reason even if it's later on.
That's a given.
Then get going. It sounded pretty urgent.
- There's one more thing. - What now?
Thanks. Thanks so much for coming.
Like I told you over the phone,
you have to stay right by Prosecutor Min's side all day long.
It's not like I have a choice.
I must obey.
So is he going to watch me all day?
Gosh, that's
Don't put it that way.
- He's just What was that? - A secretary.
Just think of him as your secretary for the day.
Gyung Tae.
- Detective Ahn Gyung Tae. - Yes.
- Take good care of her, please. - I most certainly will.
All right.
Detective Kang.
Don't get hurt.
- Now, tell me. - Pardon?
Tell you what?
You must know why Dong Soo is doing all this.
I must know?
Well, I know something? What could that be?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Detective Kang, are you
Forget it. Let's just go.
Okay.
- Let's go in. - Hold on.
What now?
Obviously, we take Lee Jin Young somewhere safe.
Take her somewhere safe.
Sure. If Lee Jin Young is gone, the culprit will give up.
But does that end it?
I'm sure he'll target another woman.
But if Lee Jin Young is there,
the culprit will target her and show up as the sketch shows.
Dong Soo. That sounds like
you want to use her as bait. Did I hear you right?
Think how you will. I'm only sure about one thing.
If we don't catch him today, we wouldn't have stopped
the crime in your drawings.
We're just pushing off her misfortune onto someone else.
Is this because of Ms. Min Ji Soo?
Because we must catch the perp for her to be safe.
Who's there?
Ms. Lee Jin Young?
Yes.
Police.
But why is the police
Have you seen someone suspicious lately?
Pardon?
Has a stranger been following you?
Why do you ask
The police received a threatening letter.
A threatening letter?
It may be a prank,
but seeing how it had your name written in it,
we don't think it should be taken lightly.
But why didn't it come to me?
Why did it go to the police?
We may be the police,
but we can't understand why a criminal does what he or she does.
But don't worry.
We will protect you.
I pulled up a list of ex-cons wearing ankle monitors
within a 30km radius of Lee Jin Young's home. Check it.
Please see if any of them look familiar.
Hey.
How are things outside?
There's nothing suspicious.
- It occurs at 6:50pm, right? - Yes.
Then we'll find out in three hours.
What's up? We were supposed to meet in front of her place.
Well, about that.
When you think about it, I'm the one who picks up the women,
and I'm also the one scoping out the location.
Since you can't move around because of your ankle monitor.
So?
You can do it without me?
No, no. That's not what I mean.
I thought maybe I could take more of a lead
You seem to be confused.
We're not friends.
I give the orders,
and you
do as you're told.
Got it?
Answer me.
Okay. I got it.
Sorry.
See you later.
Okay.
Your husband is very handsome.
I'm jealous.
He's a good person.
We dated for five years
and were married for three, but he hasn't changed.
He's faithful and sweet.
Are you trying to torment me?
I'm a single woman who fears the long nights.
If you show off how happy you are, I'll lock you up.
Right?
I am happy for sure
I should be happy,
but at times,
I wonder if this is the happiness that I want.
We're both too busy to see each other,
and we sleep on days off because we're so tired.
I think happiness is overrated.
So happiness
is like Santa Claus.
Many people believe it exists,
but no one has ever seen it.
You love your husband, right?
Having someone who is always on your side
is a luxury most people don't enjoy.
It's much better than fleeting happiness.
You already have it.
Do you think so?
Of course.
And it'll be better once your baby is born.
What Did you just
You're pregnant. Congratulations.
Jin Young.
- How did you know? - Sorry?
How did you know that I was pregnant?
I saw the pregnancy test in the bathroom, so
Jin Young.
Jin Young!
Stop it!
You said you loved your husband.
You're pregnant with his baby, so why
The baby
isn't your husband's?
Hello?
What?
Jin Young is not the victim of this crime.
What happened?
That jerk assaulted Jin Young already last month.
What?
That woman resisted pretty viciously, didn't she?
Well, how's your ear?
That's all right. It made it more fun.
Cheer up baby
Hang in there
Jin Young was the link to the next victim.
Hi, hubby. Where are you?
I just got to the bus terminal.
Then you should be here soon.
I need to see someone first.
It'll take me a couple of hours.
I wish you'd hurry home.
I prepared a surprise for you.
A surprise?
What is it?
If I told you that, it wouldn't be a surprise.
But I'm sure you'll love it.
You won't take long, right?
No, I'll be right there.
Honey, I love you so much.
(Contacts)
(Prosecutor Min Ji Soo)
Detective Ahn, why don't you ease up a little?
What? Oh, I'm actually really comfortable right now.
Hey, Sergeant Kim.
I'm glad you called.
Have you thought about it?
Can I meet up with you right now?
- Right now? - Yes.
I have something to tell you.
Where should we meet?
What about that table clock?
That clock was at the crime scene.
Like I told you last time,
500 of those were clocks were given away as free gifts.
That means 500 people own the same clock.
(Minjoong Bank)
What should we do?
We have less than an hour left.
Do you know what's worse?
Now,
we're out of clues.
(Sketch)
If you can't remember his face, can you remember his voice?
- His accent? - I bit
his earlobe.
He's working as a mechanic.
- It's 10 minutes away from there. - Excuse me.
What's Prosecutor Min's car doing here?
- Dong Soo. - Ji Soo!
Go catch him.
I'll save Prosecutor Min.
I'm not trying to criticize you.
I'm just saying a lot of things
could've turned out differently according to your choice.
Do you think my judgement was wrong?
It's different from my sketch.
All I want is to be able to protect just one person.
It's not over yet.
I don't regret my decision.
