Incheon Seobu Police Station, Oh Ji Hyuk speaking.
A murder?
Did you witness it yourself?
I was driving
and saw someone throw something under the bridge from afar.
I thought it was a mannequin at first,
but I realized it was a person.
A person.
I'm sure it was a person.
It's already the last song.
It's a friendly voice I haven't heard for a long time.

In the river like a mirror
Trout jumps and plays
They swim faster than anything

(Lee Dae Chul, Murder)
Come in.
Minister Lee.
Come on in. I was just about to call you.
How is it going?
The legal procedure to carry it out is over.
We just need the final decision of the VIP.
You made a tough decision.
This is 112 for emergencies.
This is the third day I can't get in touch with my friend.
Do you live with your friend?
No, I don't.
But I see her every day.
I think something bad happened.
Are you reporting a missing person?
Yes, that's right, a missing person's report.
Attention.
This is Lieutenant Oh Ji Hyuk,
who was with the investigation team of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency,
and joined us after a one-year break.
He's a graduate of National Police University.
I hate how administrations do such a crappy job.
I can't stop swearing because of them.
What is your problem?
Think about it.
They should give us someone that can be of help to our team.
He's been a detective for nine years.
He was assessed as number one in his work in Seoul.
He'll take our team up a level.
We need someone that will be useful at crime scenes,
not someone that will make our team look nice.
What do you think you're doing? You're embarrassing him.
Hi, I'm Kwon Jae Hong.
It's nice to meet you.
Dong Wook just got disappointed.
He was excited about not being the youngest anymore.
I'm fine.
Don't worry.
Someone from National Police University won't stay here long.
Right, he'll leave.
That's enough, all of you!
You know how rough their language is here.
Give them a break and turn a blind eye. Okay?
Gang Do Chang.
Show him around and teach him the ropes.
If
If you don't get promoted, I'm giving you a desk job.
You know me, right?
- Chief, can I have a word with you? - Yes.
Go sit over there.
Chief, you know I have a lot going on in my head.
- So what? - I have a feeling
it'll only get more complicated because of him.
What are you going to do about it?
If you really don't get the promotion,
who else will be fit for a desk job?
Should I have the guy
that gets his reports rejected by making spelling errors
or the idiot that can't even find his way home when he's drunk?
How will I trust them to sort out our schedule?
We have Kwon Jae Hong.
He thinks he's the chief.
What if we gave him the job and something goes wrong?
I'll be the one held responsible for it.
Still, the new guy can't do it. Did you see everyone's reaction?
They won't listen to him.
He can't work with me either.
He's a lieutenant. He's above me.
He can't take orders from me.
Whatever. We'll think about that later.
Like the other guys said, he won't be here long anyway.
Just keep him at the office and make him write up reports.
Why? Why should I?
What's the problem?
Did he stab you in the back or something?
I think he will in the future. That's why. Seriously.
I'm being evaluated for promotion.
I don't want to mess up at the last minute.
Come on. Chief.
Please.
Whatever. Answer the phone.
- Think about it. - Just answer the phone.
(Violent Crimes Unit 2)
Sit back down.
Your partner's phone is ringing.
Take it.
(Safe Citizens)
(Kwon Jae Hong)
Oh Ji Hyuk, Violent Crimes Unit Two.
A person was reported missing? Hold on a second.
Please go ahead.
Name, Lee Eun Hye.
18 years old.
Can you tell me the details?
Go on.
(Criminal Division)
What's your first impression of the team?
I like that they're straightforward.
Hold on.
Look at this.
Do you know what this is?
You have bald spots?
Do you know what causes them?
Yes.
Then can you guess my mental state these days?
Kind of.
As an elite lieutenant, I'm sure you know this well,
but let me tell you something about missing person cases.
Often, you work your bottom off
only to find out the person disappeared voluntarily.
Then you get told off for wasting resources
on an unimportant case.
But let's say you take it easy assuming it was voluntary
and the person is found dead or something.
"The initial investigation was botched."
"The police killed a person who could have lived."
They'll make a huge deal out of it.
They'll go on and on about it.
Imagine I have to deal with such a misfortune in this state.
Just think about it.
I might go completely bald.
I'll end up losing all my hair.
Got it?
Go in there and say you're not ready to investigate
because you're new and ask them to transfer the case.
That's all you have to say, okay?
Okay?
- Got it? - Yes.
All right.
Hello, Lieutenant Yoon Sang Mi.
I know you're busy. Why did you call me?
Can we meet?
You want to meet me? Why?
Do you want me to come over and make a scene
and do you want to talk in private?
Where are You?
Okay. I get it.
I trust you.
Remember that we're married now.
Good luck.
(Control Room)
Gosh, I can't lose more hair than this.
That rude punk.
Maybe I shouldn't have contacted the Criminal Division.
It might be that the girl just ran away from home.
I was probably too hasty.
Can I have the phone number of the person who made the report?
Sure, give me just a second.
Gosh, I can't believe my eyes.
- You're here. - You've become even prettier.
You've become so pretty
that I almost didn't recognize you.
When I came in, I thought an actress was sitting here.
I thought they were shooting a movie or something.
Do you speak that way to all other female officers?
Not all of them. But you and I are close.
Earlier this year, you met a bunch of college friends at a wine bar.
The drinks were paid for by Yoon Dong Pil,
who works as a paralegal.
1,275 dollars in total.
Among old friends, the most successful one pays.
Since then, Mr. Yoon's law firm has taken on
three cases
that you were in charge of.
Is that right?
During the New Year holidays,
you spent a night at a hotel in Baengnyeong Island
with your teammates, right?
The reservation was made by
the president of the Incheon Fisheries Cooperative Association.
I didn't take any money.
Check my bank accounts. All of them are overdrawn.
So you admit to the charges?
Hey! "Charges"?
I only gave the cases to my paralegal friend
because the suspects couldn't afford attorneys
and the law firm offered discounts.
Also, I stayed at a hotel with my teammates
because we were on a stakeout during the holidays.
I didn't want to run out of budget too early on in the year,
so we stayed in vacant rooms for free.
What's so wrong with that?
By any chance,
did you buy drinks for your team with your own money recently?
What? Come again?
Paying for things for other people is considered
bribery too.
Gosh, unbelievable.
Can I order a drink?
- Sure. - How about beer?
That's on you though.
So your friend who you reported missing is called
Lee Eun Hye?
- Yes. - Can I see a picture of her?
You don't have any pictures with her?
The girl on the far right in a yellow striped dress.
That's her.
Give it back.
- Give it back right now. - Are there any other photos?
I'll kill you if you swipe to other photos. Give it back.
Give it back right now.
Do you know where she bought that yellow striped dress?
Where does she usually go shopping?
I said everything when I made the report.
Stop bothering me with your questions, or I'll go home.
Do you want to go to another place?
Somewhere it's easier to talk.
Are you really a detective?
What's to lose?
You won't get caught anyway.
Can't you put off the investigation a little?
I'm not denying anything.
I just want to wait for a little. That's all.
Can't you do that much for me?
We were pretty close, weren't we?
We were.
We understood each other.
If I put off the investigation,
wouldn't it show that we were close?
Then the higher-ups would require an even more thorough investigation.
Once everything is over,
let's drink soju
at our favourite tripe place. Bye then.
Gosh, what's with her?
Since when
(Junghan Daily)
I'm outside.
So? Come on up.
Can we meet outside?
- Why? - Just because.
I don't want to come up.
Just come up. I have something to show you.
All right.
(Junghan Daily)
Darn it!
Have you talked to him?
Hey, go talk to him right now.
Yes, sir.
- Yes. - Reporter Park!
Gosh.
Reporter Jang, have you checked?
- Yes, I have. - What about you, Reporter Kim?
- I just sent it. - All right.
Hello. You can't go behind the prosecutors' backs like this.
Then they won't give us any stories in the future, got it?
Since their chief got arrested,
they've been leaving us out.
Let's give up on that story.
Mr. Yoo.
- You're here. - Who gives you the right?
This can hurt the whole company!
Let's go to the meeting room.
Sure.
Don't be greedy.
Just do what you're told to do.
Know your place.
You know the reporter called Lim Jong Pil, right?
He moved to a minor broadcasting station recently.
That's why everyone is in a bad mood.
Please understand.
So why did you ask me to come to the headquarters?
And what are we doing here alone?
People will think you've got my back.
That's true, isn't it?
Do you actually think that?
Take a look.
Tell me if you really think that.
Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong, I'm talking about work now.
Sure, fine.
What are you doing? Drop that at once!
Do not provoke me.
Don't give me orders!
Are you getting all riled up? Then come at me, you jerks.
What is it? Is it because Lee Dae Chul only killed two people
whereas I killed 11? You can't come at me because you're scared?
Bring it on, you jerks!
You'll be my 12th victim. You, the 13th.
The 14th, 15th, 16th.
Remember the order, okay?
I'll slit your throats, one by one.
Then I'll drain your blood
and chop you into little pieces.
You lunatic!
Bring it on!
Kill me. Kill me, you idiots!
You recognize him, right?
Jo Byeong Gil, who's been in jail for 7 years for killing 11 people.
This morning, the Minister of Justice
approved the executions of Jo Byeong Gil and 12 others.
Now, it's in the President's hands.
So, this administration wishes to carry out the death penalty?
It's still off the record.
Let's cover this before it comes out in the open.
I'd like you to interview the victims' families.
Why me?
This obviously isn't the news at a provincial level.
You don't have to do it if you don't want to.
I'm already on the blacklist,
so who cares even if I'm criticized again? Is that it?
If that's your reason Sure, I'll do it.
Interview them today and submit the draft by the end of tomorrow.
I'm having you do this because I know you can handle it.
Don't jump to your own conclusions.
Her father is Lee Dae Chul.
Yes.
All right. Thank you.
- My gosh. - Okay.
Hey, I'm tired. Can I take a nap before we get started?
I paid for the room for two nights,
so make yourself at home for the next two days.
My gosh! I guess you're actually loaded!
Has Eun Hye
ever told you anything about her dad?
I told you that we never talk about our old fogies.
You two are just acquainted. Nothing more than that, right?
You're not close enough to report her missing,
and you've never even gone shopping with her.
You didn't even care enough to notice what Eun Hye was wearing.
I'm leaving. I hate getting involved in complicated stuff.
Then how about a month?
You can stay here for a month and treat it as your home.
Breakfast will be included.
You can have your breakfast delivered to the room.
What are you after?
Where is Eun Hye?
Had I known, I would've never bothered to call the police.
Then find out. I'll give you two days.
I'll see how you behave and decide whether or not to extend your stay.
The Chinese restaurant on the 12th floor makes great jjajangmyeon.
But they don't deliver.
Darn it.
I'll lose all my hair at this rate.
It's caused by low levels of male hormones.
What? What kind of nonsense is that?
It's not nonsense. A doctor said it.
What? Are you saying I don't have enough male hormones?
I'm a homicide detective.
And I'm still young.
It's just a temporary thing caused by stress!
That's a relief.
Relief, my foot.
I have a bald spot because I'm so stressed out. Why is that a relief?
- Then it's unfortunate. - Hey.
What's your real agenda?
You're trying to stomp all over me
so that you can get the upper hand, aren't you?
Hey! What the Am I talking to myself
or what?
- You scumbag! - How could you do such a thing?
- How could you? - This is what you did, right?
(Crime scene re-enactment, November 17, 2015)
I was driving
and saw someone throw something under the bridge from afar.
I thought it was a mannequin at first,
- Move over. - But I realized it was a person.
A person.
I'm sure it was a person.
- Out of the way. - Do exactly what you did that day.
(Personal Information Report)
(Lee Dae Chul)
(Spouse Yoon Ji Suk, divorced, Daughter Lee Eun Hye)
The dress with yellow stripes at the corner. That's Lee Eun Hye.
(Crime scene re-enactment, November 17, 2015)
You and I
won't have to work together for a long time,
so let's not waste energy getting under each other's skin.
Let's stay away from trouble and end things on a good note.
And we won't bring up what we're each sensitive about.
Got it.
Goodness, I never thought I'd hear someone tell me
that I don't have enough male hormones.
How does that make sense? I have too much of it.
Why would I lack male hormones?
(Male Menopause Caused by Declining Testosterone Levels)
(Hair loss, fatigue, depression, mood swings, irritability)
My goodness.
This is Gang Do Chang at Incheon Seobu Police Station.
Pardon?
You witnessed a murder?
Where is this?
It's a fake report?
We got the exact same phone call in the morning.
So the same person called again?
Yes.
The location is the only thing that's different.
So it's a prank call, then.
Then we don't even need to go.
- It's not a prank call. - What is it, then?
The location I got earlier was the spot where Lee Dae Chul
killed and abandoned a female college student 5 years ago.
Lee Dae Chul
The spot where he killed
and abandoned Detective Jang, his second victim.
That's where we're headed now.
What kind of lunatic is doing this?
And the person who was reported missing this morning is Lee Eun Hye.
Lee Eun Hye?
She's Lee Dae Chul's daughter.
The day he received the death penalty,
I thought the world was still a just place.
But what is this?
Five years have passed since then,
and that scumbag is still alive.
Does that make sense to you?
Then why even bother giving him the death penalty?
That scumbag will never
repent of his sins, even at the moment of death.
So what's the point of taking his life?
Those victims died so unfairly, and justice won't be served.
Do you know
how that scumbag killed my sister?
He hung her upside down.
When she made eye contact with him, he told her not to glare at him.
Then her eyeballs
She wanted to live, so she begged him
to spare her life.
Then her tongue
Her tongue
I see
my sister every night in my dream.
With her eyes pulled out
and with her severed tongue, she tells me
that she's in pain.
That she's in so much pain.
(November 11, 2015, 11pm)
Hold on. Go that way! Over there.
- Yes, sir. - Hurry up.
- That way! - Move it.
- Get moving. - Over here!
- Search thoroughly! - Come on!
- Over here. - Bring that thing.
Take your time!
- Hey! - Search thoroughly.
Sir!
- Hey, go that way! - Yes, sir!
Hurry up! Get moving!
We've paid our dues, so let's get going already.
All right, I'll stay here until the body turns up.
Hey, over here!
Gosh, those idiots from the regional investigation team.
They're trying so hard to get in on this.
Search thoroughly!
If the body turns up, I'll make sure
your name gets included in the report,
so don't worry and call it a night.
- Over there. - What's going on?
- What is it? - Guys, over there!
- Yes, sir! - Let's go!
Stay back! Wait until Forensics arrive!
- Hey, come on. - Hurry.
- Stay back! - Preserve the scene!
My goodness.
How How are we supposed to make sense of this?
I'm not sure.
- There must be a reason, right? - Yes, so what could it be?
I think whoever that's doing this is throwing a question at us.
"How will you guys solve this question?"
So simply put, you have no idea.
That's right. At the moment.
Just put things in simple terms. Don't make it sound so complicated.
I'm already dealing with so many things that are causing hair loss.
Why do you make it so hard to understand?
We shouldn't take cases like these too seriously.
Let's stay objective.
So
That jerk, that jerk!
What is this jerk trying to accomplish?
That jerk is giving me a headache.
There was a wildlife observation camera at the site.
I'll ask for the footage.
Aren't you hungry?
Let's eat first.
The food is good here.
You'll often find yourself here.
We're partners.
We should be open and honest
to become a better team. You know that, right?
Yes, Detective Gang.
Stop it with the "detective".
Speak comfortably to me.
Call me by my name.
Frankly, you're above me.
Only then can I treat you comfortably too.
All right then.
It's ready now.
They aren't stingy with their meat.
It's the best place to get recharged after visiting a site.
- Try it. - Thank you.
I'm on the list for the final evaluation for the promotion.
It's coming up soon.
I'm usually not concerned about promotion,
but there is a personal reason I need this promotion.
I was in charge of Lee Dae Chul's case.
If this case continues leading to something else,
it can't be good for me.
It will also affect the evaluation for the promotion.
Do you get what I'm saying?
I'm not saying we should cover up the case.
I'm just saying we should keep it between us
without stirring up attention
until something certain comes up. Okay?
- Do Chang. - That's better.
It lowers the tension between us. Have a drink.
If you're uncomfortable with this case,
I'll investigate it on my own.
Wait.
Are you telling me to stay out of it
regardless of what you do?
That's right.
Since we're going to work separately,
let's split the bill.
(Seobu Police Station)
What is Oh Ji Hyuk's reputation like?
Is that so?
How does he investigate cases?
Does he obey the orders from his bosses?
Okay.
What did you think after working with him?
Do you think Oh Ji Hyuk and you will make a good team?
His nickname was "idiot".
He's a hard headed idiot.
All detectives on the violent crimes unit are like that.
Once he's on fire,
he doesn't quit until at least three people are busted.
That's nice and passionate.
He's the perfect violent crimes detective.
Once, he changed partners twice within a year.
One of them required 10 weeks to recover and ran away.
The other became a traffic police officer in the suburbs
as disciplinary action.
Which do you think is better?
I have a frozen shoulder
and can't move my arm any further than this.
Look, I can barely move it.
Taking 10 weeks to recover sounds better, right?
He took a year off. He must have pulled himself together.
He's been saving up his strength to cause a bigger problem.
(Violent Crimes Unit 2)
What happened?
Did you meet the victim?
It feels like I stepped on a mine
just as I was about to end this phase of my life.
This looks bad.
- This won't be easy. - Why not?
He met the suspect by chance and drank together.
He doesn't know who he is or what he does.
You said they had a drink together.
The bar must have a CCTV.
Yes, but it's just there for show.
It hasn't been working for over two months.
Doesn't the bar owner remember him?
The owner is an alcoholic.
He can't even remember what I asked him a minute ago.
I have a hunch.
Really? You do?
Are you sure about it?
Yes, we're going to chase after this case for a couple of months,
and it's going to become a cold case.
Are you kidding me?
You can't solve this case with them.
I'll take it.
No, I mean Oh Ji Hyuk and I will.
Okay, go ahead.
Who are you?
- Excuse me? - Who are you?
Oh, I'm Lieutenant Oh Ji Hyuk.
It's my first day with Violent Crimes Unit Two.
Is that so?
I'm Nam Guk Hyun, the chief of Violent Crimes Unit One.
I see. Nice to meet you.
This watch
A detective shouldn't wear a fake watch.
Oh, this?
Is it a fake?
I just bought it because it looked nice.
It isn't something you should be wearing.
Don't look suspicious because of it
and get rid of it right away.
(Criminal Division)
This is a limited piece by Jaeger June,
a Swiss watchmaker, and there are only 80 of them.
Out of them, only two are in Korea.
It's a rare and valuable piece.
(Violent Crimes Unit 2)
I think we're going to get busy.
There was an assault,
and the victim got brutally beaten up.
He broke seven of his ribs,
fractured an arm
and an injury on his head.
We don't know about internal injuries yet.
The doctor says
he might end up with a disability.
That sounds serious.
The problem is that there isn't any evidence on camera,
and the witness has a mental disorder.
It won't be an easy case.
Let's meet the victim
and visit the crime scene.
Since there isn't much evidence,
I think we'll be on a stakeout for over a week near the site.
We should get on it right away.
Let's start the stakeout tonight. What are you waiting for?
What's the name of the victim?
Wait. What?
- Park Do Chul. - Park Do Chul.
How old he is?
He was born in 1997 so
- 23. - He's 23.
We have to visit the hospital, so let's question him there.
Wait, let me check over the phone.
What? Check with whom?
Do you know where to call?
Yes, thank you. Have a nice day.
Park Do Chul, born in 1997,
his current address is Bangsuk-dong, Namdong-Gu, Incheon.
- Is that right? - Yes.
He bought five accident insurances just last month.
It adds up to over 150,000 dollars.
This is insurance fraud.
How did you figure that out?
Isn't this one of the basics of investigation?
There were several similar incidents in Seoul.
I just looked into it because the method looked similar.
He says it's a basic skill, you punks.
Stop playing billiard when you have time
and educate yourselves.
Look up cases in other areas too.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Shouldn't we at least meet the victim and find out?
- This could be a coincidence. - I don't think so
It's better to leave it up to the insurance companies.
They have professionals that have more experience than us.
They'll request an investigation
if there are any problems after looking into it.
Gosh, you got lucky with this partner.
Thanks to him, you'll get a higher assessment in performance.
What are you all doing at your desks?
Study cases.
We have fraud cases like these
because of idiotic detectives like you.
You didn't know yourself.
- How dare you - I'm sorry.
It's because we're idiots.
We're idiots.
(Café Zion)
Is your late husband Detective Jang Jin Soo
who was murdered five years ago
by death-row convict Lee Dae Chul?
Yes.
It must still be very painful.
I'm sorry for bringing this painful past again, but
Then why
do you want to write an article about it?
- Pardon? - You know I'm suffering.
You know this will bring me more pain.
So why are you putting me through all this again?
I don't understand what your intention is.
I'm not going to try to force anything upon you.
We can stop here if you want.
(Guk Hyun: I'm here. Come out.)
Well, I have to get going.
Eun Hee.
I'm leaving.
- Please lock up later. - Okay.
Thank you.
Mr. Nam?
Our station
came out bottom
in the latest friendliness survey in all of Incheon.
Be more friendly on the phone.
Especially you, Ji Man Gu.
Why do you speak so rudely to a civil petitioner?
I never spoke rudely!
I don't.
Be polite even to people younger than you.
Treat even ex-convicts with respect, okay?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Also
The next regular public security check in the area is coming up.
Gosh, another regular check? We did one recently.
You'd better catch the convenience store thieve quickly.
If another store is robbed,
the whole security level will come into question.
- Lastly - You said you'd keep it short.
There are orders from the superintendent.
Does the superintendent
only give orders to us?
All right. Let's call it a day.
To welcome Detective Oh,
let's have dinner together.
That's unnecessary. What's the big deal?
Still, we have a new teammate. We should drink.
Whatever. You guys go ahead.
My body is a wreck these days.
- I'll go home and rest. - Hey
Can you take a look at this?
You don't need my opinion. Do whatever you want.
Lee Eun Hye is in it.
What is it? What happened?
It's a case.
An extremely complicated case.
What is that?
The girl who walked into the reeds with him earlier
is Lee Eun Hye, who was reported missing this morning.
Lee Eun Hye?
Death-row inmate Lee Dae Chul's daughter.
Lee Dae Chul
The Lee Dae Chul that you arrested five years ago?
Detective Gang, this man wants to report something.
We're in the middle of something. Detective Choi!
- Are you sleeping? - What?
There's a new case. Can Unit One take it?
- We have an emergency. - Sure.
Come this way, please.
Have a seat. You can go now.
Yes, sir.
What do you want to report?
I wonder what happened in the reeds.
I kidnapped and killed a girl.
- You killed a person? - Yes.
- A girl? - Yes.
She was in her late teens.
I think
her name was Lee Eun Hye.
Hold on.
What's her name again?
What's the victim's name?
What's your name?
Where did you kill her?
You kidnapped and killed Lee Eun Hye?
Yes.
I think I did.
Say it clearly.
Did you kill her or not?
Did you really kill her?
Where did you kill her?
You kidnapped and killed Lee Eun Hye?
Yes.
I think I did.
Say it clearly. Did you kill her or not?
Did you really kill her?
Is this you?
Yes.
Why did you kill her?
I'm not sure.
I was a little out of it. I don't remember it clearly.
Try to remember.
What did you do to her in the reeds?
The thing is,
I don't know why I killed her,
whether I really killed her,
or why I'm here.
Should we test this punk for drugs?
- Gosh. - What, you punk?
I don't do drugs.
I'm fine.
Then how can you not know what you did this morning?
I do remember burying her in the ground.
Where?
In the reeds?
What a stupid girl.
If she'd stayed still, nothing would've happened. Stupid girl.
It's all that witch's fault.
She seduced me.
She's the one who took me to the reeds.
I didn't even know she was a minor, I swear.
She looked like she was over 20.
That's not the point here.
So you killed Lee Eun Hye
and buried her in the ground?
Seriously!
I already told you that.
I said I killed and buried her.
You're getting on my nerves.
- What, you punk? - Calm down.
Where do you live?
You must live close by since you came here.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way here.
Why? You can't be bothered?
Should I go somewhere else?
Rape,
murder,
and abandonment of a corpse.
Shouldn't you want to snap it up?
I was driving
and saw someone throw something under the bridge from afar.
I thought it was a mannequin at first,
But I realized it was a person. A person.
I'm sure it was a person.
It's him.
Can't you tell? It's him, right?
Right?
To me, it sounds like a different person.
Of course, he tried to sound like a different person.
Fine, let's say you're right.
What difference does it make?
That punk is fooling with us on purpose.
He wants to remind us of Lee Dae Chul's case.
So why? For what?
How should I know? Darn it!
Let's visit the scene first
and talk again.
We can't leave until it gets light,
so go get some sleep.
Violent Crimes Unit Two, Shim Dong Wook speaking.
Something is wrong with Park Gun Ho. I think he's having a seizure.
Okay.
Park Gun Ho!
Park Gun Ho!
Stay with me. Park Gun Ho!
(Criminal Division)
He looks fine.
He got worse after I hung up,
so I considered moving him to the infirmary,
- but then he became fine. - Hey.
- Do you have a condition? - No.
I don't have any condition.
Then what was that?
Was that fake?
Why would I fake something like that?
It just happened at that moment.
Things like that happen, you know.
I know a guy who has seizures occasionally
even though he's perfectly healthy.
He says it's caused by stress.
He was right.
I heard it happens when you feel that life is harder than death.
And it really happened.
Even I can see
that he's suffering so unfairly.
It's so unfair.
Are you really a missionary?
This world is such a crazy place.
You even worked as a correctional officer.
A former correctional officer who is now a missionary.
Are you sure you actually killed someone?
He worked at the prison where Lee Dae Chul is.
Then you must know Lee Dae Chul.
Lee Dae Chul?
You two were at the same prison.
He, as a death-row convict,
and you, as a correctional officer.
Oh, the inmate with number 1173. I know him, of course.
When correctional officers and inmates become close,
they call each other brothers, right?
Did your brother put you up to this?
Did your big brother ask you to do this?
Why would I befriend a murderer like him?
He doesn't even deserve to be called human.
Do you know how despicable that scumbag is?
He's such a brute, yet he cares so much about his daughter.
Isn't he such a hypocrite?
I mean, he killed a woman who was young enough to be his daughter.
So why worry about his daughter?
A scumbag like him must suffer.
He needs to experience the same pain he inflicted on the parents
of the woman he killed.
Where is the spot?
Was it over there?
Lee Eun Hye has a criminal record.
A criminal record?
- Gosh. - Get moving.
All these spots look the same, so I'm confused now.
Try harder to remember where it was.
"Two theft charges but released with a warning."
"Sent to a juvenile facility for a dine and dash."
"Caught at a karaoke bar"
Hey, enough.
Which precincts?
The Namdong Police Station took care of the dine and dash,
and Yeonsu Police Station dealt with the rest.
Detective Park Seong Gyu was in charge of the cases.
Park Seong Gyu?
Oh, Park Seong Gyu.
The phone is turned off.
Darn it. Why is his phone off at this time of the day?
Gosh, where did these guys go?
- Hey, be careful. - Okay.
There they are.
Hey!
Did you find the spot?
Apparently, he was so out of it at the time
that he doesn't remember where he buried the body.
I really don't remember.
How dare you smile? You piece of
- No! - Calm down.
Hey.
You're playing us, aren't you?
Do you think cops are a big joke or what?
- Again? This scumbag smiled again! - Gosh, don't.
- Do Chang, calm down! - Don't you dare smile!
- Do Chang, please. - That jerk.
- Don't be like this. - Look! That jerk is smiling.
- Calm down. - You scumbag!
We checked out the location, so it's all good.
- Don't get so worked up. - Look!
- What? - Don't be like this.
Hey! You jerk.
Calm down.
You weren't carrying anything in the footage.
Did you dig up the ground with your bare hands and bury the body?
Not sure.
I was out of it,
so I don't remember how I did it.
The footage even shows you walking out by yourself afterwards.
Don't you think you're too calm for someone who was that out of it?
Should I have chosen a different police station?
I see that this one has a smart detective, to my surprise.
So he killed and buried Lee Dae Chul's daughter
at the spot where Lee Dae Chul buried one of his victims?
Can it really be a mere coincidence?
That's why I'm saying that he's hiding his real reason.
There must be a reason he came to the precinct where I work.
What are we supposed to do, then?
Think about everything he's said so far.
Do you think he's sane?
Anyone can tell that he's a lunatic.
Darn it.
We must find the body in a situation like this.
There's no other way.
Jae Hong, get started.
Yes, sir. Let's go.
Ji Woong, call the squad and request a backup.
Join us when they arrive.
And you two will wait here with me until they arrive.
- Yes, sir. - All right.
First, take Park Gun Ho back to the precinct
and keep on interrogating him.
Although I'm not sure if we'll get anything out of him.
What is going on?
What is this case about?
(Seobu Police Station)
It's a little salty.
How did you and Lee Eun Hye meet?
Did you track her down on purpose?
When you solve a murder case, how many points
do you get toward your performance review?
Even the inmates at the prison were really curious about that.
This case is different
because the suspect turned himself in.
Oh, I see.
Then should I have played hide-and-seek before getting caught?
You already turned yourself in,
so you don't need to complicate things like this.
Let's take the easy way.
Are you asking me for a favour?
Yes, I am. Let's please take the easy way.
Well
Then I want you
to find Lee Eun Hye's corpse first.
What?
How could you just sit around and expect to be spoon-fed?
Find the body
as well as the murder weapon.
Find blood evidence.
If you run a DNA analysis and confirm that it is my blood,
then I'll obviously tell you everything.
Would I not?
Hey.
Oh, I just wanted to ask you something.
Are you busy?
You have a minute to chat, right?
472 Baekgogae-ro, Namdong-Gu, Incheon.
212 Unbangsa-ro, Jung-Gu, Incheon.
Do these addresses
ring a bell?
The second address is where you said you'd buried Lee Eun Hye.
If you drove, you'd remember it as you'd had to enter the address.
I see that you analysed the question I threw at you.
Let me give you a pointer.
"You serpents."
"You brood of vipers."
"How will you escape the punishment?"
Matthew 23:33.
- Get it over here! - I need a hand here.
Yes.
We couldn't identify the body yet,
but it looks like a high school girl.
Okay, got it.
I'm sorry, but could you send me the address of the crime scene?
There is something I need to go and check out.
Thank you.
You told us to find the dead body.
Why did you do that?
You caught yourself on camera with Lee Eun Hye on purpose, right?
You were trying to come up with an alibi.
Tell me.
Where did you really kill Lee Eun Hye?
212 Unbangsa-ro, Jung-Gu, Incheon.
He turned himself in for a reason.
You're right about that.
Then he'll continue arguing
that he killed Lee Eun Hye in the reeds and buried her.
What do you think he'll say
if the body found at the beach is Lee Eun Hye?
He'll start saying he didn't kill her
and that he thought he'd killed her.
That's exactly what he's going after.
I love your house
and the place your glory dwells.
Please don't take my soul
along with the murderer's.
Park Gun Ho targeted Lee Dae Chul's daughter
Lee Eun Hye from the start.
What did he kill Lee Eun Hye for?
The reason must be related to Lee Dae Chul.
That's right.
Why did he take out his anger with Lee Dae Chul on his daughter?
That horrid little
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid.
Do not tremble in front of them.
The lord will go with you.
He will not leave you
or abandon you.
(A special thanks to Jo Jae Yoon and Lee Hyun Wook)
(The Good Detective)
Have you ever killed someone?
You are no better an animal! Die!
Do you know how it feels?
Why did you kill her? Tell me, you murderer!
It has nothing to do with the case.
He must have changed his mind.
- I told you it's not! - Darn it!
I did it. I killed a person.
- I did it! - I told you to watch your mouths.
I have something to tell the reporters!
- The murderer - Keep going.
I'll do whatever you ask me to.
Do you know Lee Dae Chul?
He's innocent.
Are you sure Lee Dae Chul is the murderer, Detective Gang?
I have something to report.
Watch and make the right judgement.

I left tangerines on the dining table.
Have some of it and play games for no more than one hour.
I'll be back by then.
We'll have dinner together. Okay?
Take him.

of a female college student.
He even planned and murdered the detective in charge of the case,
and abandoned the body once again.
The victims were brutally murdered,
making it a major crime.
The defendant Lee Dae Chul
is sentenced to death.
- What are you talking about? - That can't be right.
- He's a murderer. - He deserved it.
Why?
Why me?
I didn't do anything wrong.
Why won't anyone believe me?
Why?
Why?

(Violent Crimes Unit Two)
Incheon Seobu Police Station, Oh Ji Hyuk speaking.
A murder?
Did you witness it yourself?
I was driving
and saw someone throw something under the bridge from afar.
I thought it was a mannequin at first,
but I realized it was a person.
A person.
I'm sure it was a person.
It's already the last song.
It's a friendly voice I haven't heard for a long time.

(Lee Dae Chul, Murder)
Come in.
Minister Lee.
Come on in. I was just about to call you.
How is it going?
The legal procedure to carry it out is over.
We just need the final decision of the VIP.
You made a tough decision.
This is 112 for emergencies.
This is the third day I can't get in touch with my friend.
Do you live with your friend?
No, I don't.
But I see her every day.
I think something bad happened.
Are you reporting a missing person?
Yes, that's right, a missing person's report.
Attention.
This is Lieutenant Oh Ji Hyuk,
who was with the investigation team of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency,
and joined us after a one-year break.
He's a graduate of National Police University.
I hate how administrations do such a crappy job.
I can't stop swearing because of them.
What is your problem?
Think about it.
They should give us someone that can be of help to our team.
He's been a detective for nine years.
He was assessed as number one in his work in Seoul.
He'll take our team up a level.
We need someone that will be useful at crime scenes,
not someone that will make our team look nice.
What do you think you're doing? You're embarrassing him.
Hi, I'm Kwon Jae Hong.
It's nice to meet you.
Dong Wook just got disappointed.
He was excited about not being the youngest anymore.
I'm fine.
Don't worry.
Someone from National Police University won't stay here long.
Right, he'll leave.
That's enough, all of you!
You know how rough their language is here.
Give them a break and turn a blind eye. Okay?
Gang Do Chang.
Show him around and teach him the ropes.
If
If you don't get promoted, I'm giving you a desk job.
You know me, right?
- Chief, can I have a word with you? - Yes.
Go sit over there.
Chief, you know I have a lot going on in my head.
- So what? - I have a feeling
it'll only get more complicated because of him.
What are you going to do about it?
If you really don't get the promotion,
who else will be fit for a desk job?
Should I have the guy
that gets his reports rejected by making spelling errors
or the idiot that can't even find his way home when he's drunk?
How will I trust them to sort out our schedule?
We have Kwon Jae Hong.
He thinks he's the chief.
What if we gave him the job and something goes wrong?
I'll be the one held responsible for it.
Still, the new guy can't do it. Did you see everyone's reaction?
They won't listen to him.
He can't work with me either.
He's a lieutenant. He's above me.
He can't take orders from me.
Whatever. We'll think about that later.
Like the other guys said, he won't be here long anyway.
Just keep him at the office and make him write up reports.
Why? Why should I?
What's the problem?
Did he stab you in the back or something?
I think he will in the future. That's why. Seriously.
I'm being evaluated for promotion.
I don't want to mess up at the last minute.
Come on. Chief.
Please.
Whatever. Answer the phone.
- Think about it. - Just answer the phone.
(Violent Crimes Unit 2)
Sit back down.
Your partner's phone is ringing.
Take it.

(Kwon Jae Hong)
Oh Ji Hyuk, Violent Crimes Unit Two.
A person was reported missing? Hold on a second.
Please go ahead.
Name, Lee Eun Hye.
18 years old.
Can you tell me the details?
Go on.
(Criminal Division)
What's your first impression of the team?
I like that they're straightforward.
Hold on.
Look at this.
Do you know what this is?
You have bald spots?
Do you know what causes them?
Yes.
Then can you guess my mental state these days?
Kind of.
As an elite lieutenant, I'm sure you know this well,
but let me tell you something about missing person cases.
Often, you work your bottom off
only to find out the person disappeared voluntarily.
Then you get told off for wasting resources
on an unimportant case.
But let's say you take it easy assuming it was voluntary
and the person is found dead or something.
"The initial investigation was botched."
"The police killed a person who could have lived."
They'll make a huge deal out of it.
They'll go on and on about it.
Imagine I have to deal with such a misfortune in this state.
Just think about it.
I might go completely bald.
I'll end up losing all my hair.
Got it?
Go in there and say you're not ready to investigate
because you're new and ask them to transfer the case.
That's all you have to say, okay?
Okay?
- Got it? - Yes.
All right.
Hello, Lieutenant Yoon Sang Mi.
I know you're busy. Why did you call me?
Can we meet?
You want to meet me? Why?
Do you want me to come over and make a scene
and do you want to talk in private?
Where are You?
Okay. I get it.
I trust you.
Remember that we're married now.
Good luck.
(Control Room)
Gosh, I can't lose more hair than this.
That rude punk.
Maybe I shouldn't have contacted the Criminal Division.
It might be that the girl just ran away from home.
I was probably too hasty.
Can I have the phone number of the person who made the report?
Sure, give me just a second.
Gosh, I can't believe my eyes.
- You're here. - You've become even prettier.
You've become so pretty
that I almost didn't recognize you.
When I came in, I thought an actress was sitting here.
I thought they were shooting a movie or something.
Do you speak that way to all other female officers?
Not all of them. But you and I are close.
Earlier this year, you met a bunch of college friends at a wine bar.
The drinks were paid for by Yoon Dong Pil,
who works as a paralegal.
1,275 dollars in total.
Among old friends, the most successful one pays.
Since then, Mr. Yoon's law firm has taken on
three cases
that you were in charge of.
Is that right?
During the New Year holidays,
you spent a night at a hotel in Baengnyeong Island
with your teammates, right?
The reservation was made by
the president of the Incheon Fisheries Cooperative Association.
I didn't take any money.
Check my bank accounts. All of them are overdrawn.
So you admit to the charges?
Hey! "Charges"?
I only gave the cases to my paralegal friend
because the suspects couldn't afford attorneys
and the law firm offered discounts.
Also, I stayed at a hotel with my teammates
because we were on a stakeout during the holidays.
I didn't want to run out of budget too early on in the year,
so we stayed in vacant rooms for free.
What's so wrong with that?
By any chance,
did you buy drinks for your team with your own money recently?
What? Come again?
Paying for things for other people is considered
bribery too.
Gosh, unbelievable.
Can I order a drink?
- Sure. - How about beer?
That's on you though.
So your friend who you reported missing is called
Lee Eun Hye?
- Yes. - Can I see a picture of her?
You don't have any pictures with her?
The girl on the far right in a yellow striped dress.
That's her.
Give it back.
- Give it back right now. - Are there any other photos?
I'll kill you if you swipe to other photos. Give it back.
Give it back right now.
Do you know where she bought that yellow striped dress?
Where does she usually go shopping?
I said everything when I made the report.
Stop bothering me with your questions, or I'll go home.
Do you want to go to another place?
Somewhere it's easier to talk.
Are you really a detective?
What's to lose?
You won't get caught anyway.
Can't you put off the investigation a little?
I'm not denying anything.
I just want to wait for a little. That's all.
Can't you do that much for me?
We were pretty close, weren't we?
We were.
We understood each other.
If I put off the investigation,
wouldn't it show that we were close?
Then the higher-ups would require an even more thorough investigation.
Once everything is over,
let's drink soju
at our favourite tripe place. Bye then.
Gosh, what's with her?
Since when
(Junghan Daily)
I'm outside.
So? Come on up.
Can we meet outside?
- Why? - Just because.
I don't want to come up.
Just come up. I have something to show you.
All right.
(Junghan Daily)
Darn it!
Have you talked to him?
Hey, go talk to him right now.
Yes, sir.
- Yes. - Reporter Park!
Gosh.
Reporter Jang, have you checked?
- Yes, I have. - What about you, Reporter Kim?
- I just sent it. - All right.
Hello. You can't go behind the prosecutors' backs like this.
Then they won't give us any stories in the future, got it?
Since their chief got arrested,
they've been leaving us out.
Let's give up on that story.
Mr. Yoo.
- You're here. - Who gives you the right?
This can hurt the whole company!
Let's go to the meeting room.
Sure.
Don't be greedy.
Just do what you're told to do.
Know your place.
You know the reporter called Lim Jong Pil, right?
He moved to a minor broadcasting station recently.
That's why everyone is in a bad mood.
Please understand.
So why did you ask me to come to the headquarters?
And what are we doing here alone?
People will think you've got my back.
That's true, isn't it?
Do you actually think that?
Take a look.
Tell me if you really think that.
Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong, I'm talking about work now.
Sure, fine.
What are you doing? Drop that at once!
Do not provoke me.
Don't give me orders!
Are you getting all riled up? Then come at me, you jerks.
What is it? Is it because Lee Dae Chul only killed two people
whereas I killed 11? You can't come at me because you're scared?
Bring it on, you jerks!
You'll be my 12th victim. You, the 13th.
The 14th, 15th, 16th.
Remember the order, okay?
I'll slit your throats, one by one.
Then I'll drain your blood
and chop you into little pieces.
You lunatic!
Bring it on!
Kill me. Kill me, you idiots!
You recognize him, right?
Jo Byeong Gil, who's been in jail for 7 years for killing 11 people.
This morning, the Minister of Justice
approved the executions of Jo Byeong Gil and 12 others.
Now, it's in the President's hands.
So, this administration wishes to carry out the death penalty?
It's still off the record.
Let's cover this before it comes out in the open.
I'd like you to interview the victims' families.
Why me?
This obviously isn't the news at a provincial level.
You don't have to do it if you don't want to.
I'm already on the blacklist,
so who cares even if I'm criticized again? Is that it?
If that's your reason Sure, I'll do it.
Interview them today and submit the draft by the end of tomorrow.
I'm having you do this because I know you can handle it.
Don't jump to your own conclusions.
Her father is Lee Dae Chul.
Yes.
All right. Thank you.
- My gosh. - Okay.
Hey, I'm tired. Can I take a nap before we get started?
I paid for the room for two nights,
so make yourself at home for the next two days.
My gosh! I guess you're actually loaded!
Has Eun Hye
ever told you anything about her dad?
I told you that we never talk about our old fogies.
You two are just acquainted. Nothing more than that, right?
You're not close enough to report her missing,
and you've never even gone shopping with her.
You didn't even care enough to notice what Eun Hye was wearing.
I'm leaving. I hate getting involved in complicated stuff.
Then how about a month?
You can stay here for a month and treat it as your home.
Breakfast will be included.
You can have your breakfast delivered to the room.
What are you after?
Where is Eun Hye?
Had I known, I would've never bothered to call the police.
Then find out. I'll give you two days.
I'll see how you behave and decide whether or not to extend your stay.
The Chinese restaurant on the 12th floor makes great jjajangmyeon.
But they don't deliver.
Darn it.
I'll lose all my hair at this rate.
It's caused by low levels of male hormones.
What? What kind of nonsense is that?
It's not nonsense. A doctor said it.
What? Are you saying I don't have enough male hormones?
I'm a homicide detective.
And I'm still young.
It's just a temporary thing caused by stress!
That's a relief.
Relief, my foot.
I have a bald spot because I'm so stressed out. Why is that a relief?
- Then it's unfortunate. - Hey.
What's your real agenda?
You're trying to stomp all over me
so that you can get the upper hand, aren't you?
Hey! What the Am I talking to myself
or what?
- You scumbag! - How could you do such a thing?
- How could you? - This is what you did, right?
(Crime scene re-enactment, November 17, 2015)
I was driving
and saw someone throw something under the bridge from afar.
I thought it was a mannequin at first,
- Move over. - But I realized it was a person.
A person.
I'm sure it was a person.
- Out of the way. - Do exactly what you did that day.
(Personal Information Report)
(Lee Dae Chul)
(Spouse Yoon Ji Suk, divorced, Daughter Lee Eun Hye)
The dress with yellow stripes at the corner. That's Lee Eun Hye.
(Crime scene re-enactment, November 17, 2015)
You and I
won't have to work together for a long time,
so let's not waste energy getting under each other's skin.
Let's stay away from trouble and end things on a good note.
And we won't bring up what we're each sensitive about.
Got it.
Goodness, I never thought I'd hear someone tell me
that I don't have enough male hormones.
How does that make sense? I have too much of it.
Why would I lack male hormones?
(Male Menopause Caused by Declining Testosterone Levels)
(Hair loss, fatigue, depression, mood swings, irritability)
My goodness.
This is Gang Do Chang at Incheon Seobu Police Station.
Pardon?
You witnessed a murder?
Where is this?
It's a fake report?
We got the exact same phone call in the morning.
So the same person called again?
Yes.
The location is the only thing that's different.
So it's a prank call, then.
Then we don't even need to go.
- It's not a prank call. - What is it, then?
The location I got earlier was the spot where Lee Dae Chul
killed and abandoned a female college student 5 years ago.
Lee Dae Chul
The spot where he killed
and abandoned Detective Jang, his second victim.
That's where we're headed now.
What kind of lunatic is doing this?
And the person who was reported missing this morning is Lee Eun Hye.
Lee Eun Hye?
She's Lee Dae Chul's daughter.
The day he received the death penalty,
I thought the world was still a just place.
But what is this?
Five years have passed since then,
and that scumbag is still alive.
Does that make sense to you?
Then why even bother giving him the death penalty?
That scumbag will never
repent of his sins, even at the moment of death.
So what's the point of taking his life?
Those victims died so unfairly, and justice won't be served.
Do you know
how that scumbag killed my sister?
He hung her upside down.
When she made eye contact with him, he told her not to glare at him.
Then her eyeballs
She wanted to live, so she begged him
to spare her life.
Then her tongue
Her tongue
I see
my sister every night in my dream.
With her eyes pulled out
and with her severed tongue, she tells me
that she's in pain.
That she's in so much pain.
(November 11, 2015, 11pm)
Hold on. Go that way! Over there.
- Yes, sir. - Hurry up.
- That way! - Move it.
- Get moving. - Over here!
- Search thoroughly! - Come on!
- Over here. - Bring that thing.
Take your time!
- Hey! - Search thoroughly.
Sir!
- Hey, go that way! - Yes, sir!
Hurry up! Get moving!
We've paid our dues, so let's get going already.
All right, I'll stay here until the body turns up.
Hey, over here!
Gosh, those idiots from the regional investigation team.
They're trying so hard to get in on this.
Search thoroughly!
If the body turns up, I'll make sure
your name gets included in the report,
so don't worry and call it a night.
- Over there. - What's going on?
- What is it? - Guys, over there!
- Yes, sir! - Let's go!
Stay back! Wait until Forensics arrive!
- Hey, come on. - Hurry.
- Stay back! - Preserve the scene!
My goodness.
How How are we supposed to make sense of this?
I'm not sure.
- There must be a reason, right? - Yes, so what could it be?
I think whoever that's doing this is throwing a question at us.
"How will you guys solve this question?"
So simply put, you have no idea.
That's right. At the moment.
Just put things in simple terms. Don't make it sound so complicated.
I'm already dealing with so many things that are causing hair loss.
Why do you make it so hard to understand?
We shouldn't take cases like these too seriously.
Let's stay objective.
So
That jerk, that jerk!
What is this jerk trying to accomplish?
That jerk is giving me a headache.
There was a wildlife observation camera at the site.
I'll ask for the footage.
Aren't you hungry?
Let's eat first.
The food is good here.
You'll often find yourself here.
We're partners.
We should be open and honest
to become a better team. You know that, right?
Yes, Detective Gang.
Stop it with the "detective".
Speak comfortably to me.
Call me by my name.
Frankly, you're above me.
Only then can I treat you comfortably too.
All right then.
It's ready now.
They aren't stingy with their meat.
It's the best place to get recharged after visiting a site.
- Try it. - Thank you.
I'm on the list for the final evaluation for the promotion.
It's coming up soon.
I'm usually not concerned about promotion,
but there is a personal reason I need this promotion.
I was in charge of Lee Dae Chul's case.
If this case continues leading to something else,
it can't be good for me.
It will also affect the evaluation for the promotion.
Do you get what I'm saying?
I'm not saying we should cover up the case.
I'm just saying we should keep it between us
without stirring up attention
until something certain comes up. Okay?
- Do Chang. - That's better.
It lowers the tension between us. Have a drink.
If you're uncomfortable with this case,
I'll investigate it on my own.
Wait.
Are you telling me to stay out of it
regardless of what you do?
That's right.
Since we're going to work separately,
let's split the bill.
(Seobu Police Station)
What is Oh Ji Hyuk's reputation like?
Is that so?
How does he investigate cases?
Does he obey the orders from his bosses?
Okay.
What did you think after working with him?
Do you think Oh Ji Hyuk and you will make a good team?
His nickname was "idiot".
He's a hard headed idiot.
All detectives on the violent crimes unit are like that.
Once he's on fire,
he doesn't quit until at least three people are busted.
That's nice and passionate.
He's the perfect violent crimes detective.
Once, he changed partners twice within a year.
One of them required 10 weeks to recover and ran away.
The other became a traffic police officer in the suburbs
as disciplinary action.
Which do you think is better?
I have a frozen shoulder
and can't move my arm any further than this.
Look, I can barely move it.
Taking 10 weeks to recover sounds better, right?
He took a year off. He must have pulled himself together.
He's been saving up his strength to cause a bigger problem.
(Violent Crimes Unit 2)
What happened?
Did you meet the victim?
It feels like I stepped on a mine
just as I was about to end this phase of my life.
This looks bad.
- This won't be easy. - Why not?
He met the suspect by chance and drank together.
He doesn't know who he is or what he does.
You said they had a drink together.
The bar must have a CCTV.
Yes, but it's just there for show.
It hasn't been working for over two months.
Doesn't the bar owner remember him?
The owner is an alcoholic.
He can't even remember what I asked him a minute ago.
I have a hunch.
Really? You do?
Are you sure about it?
Yes, we're going to chase after this case for a couple of months,
and it's going to become a cold case.
Are you kidding me?
You can't solve this case with them.
I'll take it.
No, I mean Oh Ji Hyuk and I will.
Okay, go ahead.
Who are you?
- Excuse me? - Who are you?
Oh, I'm Lieutenant Oh Ji Hyuk.
It's my first day with Violent Crimes Unit Two.
Is that so?
I'm Nam Guk Hyun, the chief of Violent Crimes Unit One.
I see. Nice to meet you.
This watch
A detective shouldn't wear a fake watch.
Oh, this?
Is it a fake?
I just bought it because it looked nice.
It isn't something you should be wearing.
Don't look suspicious because of it
and get rid of it right away.
(Criminal Division)
This is a limited piece by Jaeger June,
a Swiss watchmaker, and there are only 80 of them.
Out of them, only two are in Korea.
It's a rare and valuable piece.
(Violent Crimes Unit 2)
I think we're going to get busy.
There was an assault,
and the victim got brutally beaten up.
He broke seven of his ribs,
fractured an arm
and an injury on his head.
We don't know about internal injuries yet.
The doctor says
he might end up with a disability.
That sounds serious.
The problem is that there isn't any evidence on camera,
and the witness has a mental disorder.
It won't be an easy case.
Let's meet the victim
and visit the crime scene.
Since there isn't much evidence,
I think we'll be on a stakeout for over a week near the site.
We should get on it right away.
Let's start the stakeout tonight. What are you waiting for?
What's the name of the victim?
Wait. What?
- Park Do Chul. - Park Do Chul.
How old he is?
He was born in 1997 so
- 23. - He's 23.
We have to visit the hospital, so let's question him there.
Wait, let me check over the phone.
What? Check with whom?
Do you know where to call?
Yes, thank you. Have a nice day.
Park Do Chul, born in 1997,
his current address is Bangsuk-dong, Namdong-Gu, Incheon.
- Is that right? - Yes.
He bought five accident insurances just last month.
It adds up to over 150,000 dollars.
This is insurance fraud.
How did you figure that out?
Isn't this one of the basics of investigation?
There were several similar incidents in Seoul.
I just looked into it because the method looked similar.
He says it's a basic skill, you punks.
Stop playing billiard when you have time
and educate yourselves.
Look up cases in other areas too.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Shouldn't we at least meet the victim and find out?
- This could be a coincidence. - I don't think so
It's better to leave it up to the insurance companies.
They have professionals that have more experience than us.
They'll request an investigation
if there are any problems after looking into it.
Gosh, you got lucky with this partner.
Thanks to him, you'll get a higher assessment in performance.
What are you all doing at your desks?
Study cases.
We have fraud cases like these
because of idiotic detectives like you.
You didn't know yourself.
- How dare you - I'm sorry.
It's because we're idiots.
We're idiots.
(Café Zion)
Is your late husband Detective Jang Jin Soo
who was murdered five years ago
by death-row convict Lee Dae Chul?
Yes.
It must still be very painful.
I'm sorry for bringing this painful past again, but
Then why
do you want to write an article about it?
- Pardon? - You know I'm suffering.
You know this will bring me more pain.
So why are you putting me through all this again?
I don't understand what your intention is.
I'm not going to try to force anything upon you.
We can stop here if you want.
(Guk Hyun: I'm here. Come out.)
Well, I have to get going.
Eun Hee.
I'm leaving.
- Please lock up later. - Okay.
Thank you.
Mr. Nam?
Our station
came out bottom
in the latest friendliness survey in all of Incheon.
Be more friendly on the phone.
Especially you, Ji Man Gu.
Why do you speak so rudely to a civil petitioner?
I never spoke rudely!
I don't.
Be polite even to people younger than you.
Treat even ex-convicts with respect, okay?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Also
The next regular public security check in the area is coming up.
Gosh, another regular check? We did one recently.
You'd better catch the convenience store thieve quickly.
If another store is robbed,
the whole security level will come into question.
- Lastly - You said you'd keep it short.
There are orders from the superintendent.
Does the superintendent
only give orders to us?
All right. Let's call it a day.
To welcome Detective Oh,
let's have dinner together.
That's unnecessary. What's the big deal?
Still, we have a new teammate. We should drink.
Whatever. You guys go ahead.
My body is a wreck these days.
- I'll go home and rest. - Hey
Can you take a look at this?
You don't need my opinion. Do whatever you want.
Lee Eun Hye is in it.
What is it? What happened?
It's a case.
An extremely complicated case.
What is that?
The girl who walked into the reeds with him earlier
is Lee Eun Hye, who was reported missing this morning.
Lee Eun Hye?
Death-row inmate Lee Dae Chul's daughter.
Lee Dae Chul
The Lee Dae Chul that you arrested five years ago?
Detective Gang, this man wants to report something.
We're in the middle of something. Detective Choi!
- Are you sleeping? - What?
There's a new case. Can Unit One take it?
- We have an emergency. - Sure.
Come this way, please.
Have a seat. You can go now.
Yes, sir.
What do you want to report?
I wonder what happened in the reeds.
I kidnapped and killed a girl.
- You killed a person? - Yes.
- A girl? - Yes.
She was in her late teens.
I think
her name was Lee Eun Hye.
Hold on.
What's her name again?
What's the victim's name?
What's your name?
Where did you kill her?
You kidnapped and killed Lee Eun Hye?
Yes.
I think I did.
Say it clearly.
Did you kill her or not?
Did you really kill her?
Where did you kill her?
You kidnapped and killed Lee Eun Hye?
Yes.
I think I did.
Say it clearly. Did you kill her or not?
Did you really kill her?
Is this you?
Yes.
Why did you kill her?
I'm not sure.
I was a little out of it. I don't remember it clearly.
Try to remember.
What did you do to her in the reeds?
The thing is,
I don't know why I killed her,
whether I really killed her,
or why I'm here.
Should we test this punk for drugs?
- Gosh. - What, you punk?
I don't do drugs.
I'm fine.
Then how can you not know what you did this morning?
I do remember burying her in the ground.
Where?
In the reeds?
What a stupid girl.
If she'd stayed still, nothing would've happened. Stupid girl.
It's all that witch's fault.
She seduced me.
She's the one who took me to the reeds.
I didn't even know she was a minor, I swear.
She looked like she was over 20.
That's not the point here.
So you killed Lee Eun Hye
and buried her in the ground?
Seriously!
I already told you that.
I said I killed and buried her.
You're getting on my nerves.
- What, you punk? - Calm down.
Where do you live?
You must live close by since you came here.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way here.
Why? You can't be bothered?
Should I go somewhere else?
Rape,
murder,
and abandonment of a corpse.
Shouldn't you want to snap it up?
I was driving
and saw someone throw something under the bridge from afar.
I thought it was a mannequin at first,
But I realized it was a person. A person.
I'm sure it was a person.
It's him.
Can't you tell? It's him, right?
Right?
To me, it sounds like a different person.
Of course, he tried to sound like a different person.
Fine, let's say you're right.
What difference does it make?
That punk is fooling with us on purpose.
He wants to remind us of Lee Dae Chul's case.
So why? For what?
How should I know? Darn it!
Let's visit the scene first
and talk again.
We can't leave until it gets light,
so go get some sleep.
Violent Crimes Unit Two, Shim Dong Wook speaking.
Something is wrong with Park Gun Ho. I think he's having a seizure.
Okay.
Park Gun Ho!
Park Gun Ho!
Stay with me. Park Gun Ho!
(Criminal Division)
He looks fine.
He got worse after I hung up,
so I considered moving him to the infirmary,
- but then he became fine. - Hey.
- Do you have a condition? - No.
I don't have any condition.
Then what was that?
Was that fake?
Why would I fake something like that?
It just happened at that moment.
Things like that happen, you know.
I know a guy who has seizures occasionally
even though he's perfectly healthy.
He says it's caused by stress.
He was right.
I heard it happens when you feel that life is harder than death.
And it really happened.
Even I can see
that he's suffering so unfairly.
It's so unfair.
Are you really a missionary?
This world is such a crazy place.
You even worked as a correctional officer.
A former correctional officer who is now a missionary.
Are you sure you actually killed someone?
He worked at the prison where Lee Dae Chul is.
Then you must know Lee Dae Chul.
Lee Dae Chul?
You two were at the same prison.
He, as a death-row convict,
and you, as a correctional officer.
Oh, the inmate with number 1173. I know him, of course.
When correctional officers and inmates become close,
they call each other brothers, right?
Did your brother put you up to this?
Did your big brother ask you to do this?
Why would I befriend a murderer like him?
He doesn't even deserve to be called human.
Do you know how despicable that scumbag is?
He's such a brute, yet he cares so much about his daughter.
Isn't he such a hypocrite?
I mean, he killed a woman who was young enough to be his daughter.
So why worry about his daughter?
A scumbag like him must suffer.
He needs to experience the same pain he inflicted on the parents
of the woman he killed.
Where is the spot?
Was it over there?
Lee Eun Hye has a criminal record.
A criminal record?
- Gosh. - Get moving.
All these spots look the same, so I'm confused now.
Try harder to remember where it was.
"Two theft charges but released with a warning."
"Sent to a juvenile facility for a dine and dash."
"Caught at a karaoke bar"
Hey, enough.
Which precincts?
The Namdong Police Station took care of the dine and dash,
and Yeonsu Police Station dealt with the rest.
Detective Park Seong Gyu was in charge of the cases.
Park Seong Gyu?
Oh, Park Seong Gyu.
The phone is turned off.
Darn it. Why is his phone off at this time of the day?
Gosh, where did these guys go?
- Hey, be careful. - Okay.
There they are.
Hey!
Did you find the spot?
Apparently, he was so out of it at the time
that he doesn't remember where he buried the body.
I really don't remember.
How dare you smile? You piece of
- No! - Calm down.
Hey.
You're playing us, aren't you?
Do you think cops are a big joke or what?
- Again? This scumbag smiled again! - Gosh, don't.
- Do Chang, calm down! - Don't you dare smile!
- Do Chang, please. - That jerk.
- Don't be like this. - Look! That jerk is smiling.
- Calm down. - You scumbag!
We checked out the location, so it's all good.
- Don't get so worked up. - Look!
- What? - Don't be like this.
Hey! You jerk.
Calm down.
You weren't carrying anything in the footage.
Did you dig up the ground with your bare hands and bury the body?
Not sure.
I was out of it,
so I don't remember how I did it.
The footage even shows you walking out by yourself afterwards.
Don't you think you're too calm for someone who was that out of it?
Should I have chosen a different police station?
I see that this one has a smart detective, to my surprise.
So he killed and buried Lee Dae Chul's daughter
at the spot where Lee Dae Chul buried one of his victims?
Can it really be a mere coincidence?
That's why I'm saying that he's hiding his real reason.
There must be a reason he came to the precinct where I work.
What are we supposed to do, then?
Think about everything he's said so far.
Do you think he's sane?
Anyone can tell that he's a lunatic.
Darn it.
We must find the body in a situation like this.
There's no other way.
Jae Hong, get started.
Yes, sir. Let's go.
Ji Woong, call the squad and request a backup.
Join us when they arrive.
And you two will wait here with me until they arrive.
- Yes, sir. - All right.
First, take Park Gun Ho back to the precinct
and keep on interrogating him.
Although I'm not sure if we'll get anything out of him.
What is going on?
What is this case about?
(Seobu Police Station)
It's a little salty.
How did you and Lee Eun Hye meet?
Did you track her down on purpose?
When you solve a murder case, how many points
do you get toward your performance review?
Even the inmates at the prison were really curious about that.
This case is different
because the suspect turned himself in.
Oh, I see.
Then should I have played hide-and-seek before getting caught?
You already turned yourself in,
so you don't need to complicate things like this.
Let's take the easy way.
Are you asking me for a favour?
Yes, I am. Let's please take the easy way.
Well
Then I want you
to find Lee Eun Hye's corpse first.
What?
How could you just sit around and expect to be spoon-fed?
Find the body
as well as the murder weapon.
Find blood evidence.
If you run a DNA analysis and confirm that it is my blood,
then I'll obviously tell you everything.
Would I not?
Hey.
Oh, I just wanted to ask you something.
Are you busy?
You have a minute to chat, right?
472 Baekgogae-ro, Namdong-Gu, Incheon.
212 Unbangsa-ro, Jung-Gu, Incheon.
Do these addresses
ring a bell?
The second address is where you said you'd buried Lee Eun Hye.
If you drove, you'd remember it as you'd had to enter the address.
I see that you analysed the question I threw at you.
Let me give you a pointer.
"You serpents."
"You brood of vipers."
"How will you escape the punishment?"
Matthew 23:33.
- Get it over here! - I need a hand here.
Yes.
We couldn't identify the body yet,
but it looks like a high school girl.
Okay, got it.
I'm sorry, but could you send me the address of the crime scene?
There is something I need to go and check out.
Thank you.
You told us to find the dead body.
Why did you do that?
You caught yourself on camera with Lee Eun Hye on purpose, right?
You were trying to come up with an alibi.
Tell me.
Where did you really kill Lee Eun Hye?
212 Unbangsa-ro, Jung-Gu, Incheon.
He turned himself in for a reason.
You're right about that.
Then he'll continue arguing
that he killed Lee Eun Hye in the reeds and buried her.
What do you think he'll say
if the body found at the beach is Lee Eun Hye?
He'll start saying he didn't kill her
and that he thought he'd killed her.
That's exactly what he's going after.
I love your house
and the place your glory dwells.
Please don't take my soul
along with the murderer's.
Park Gun Ho targeted Lee Dae Chul's daughter
Lee Eun Hye from the start.
What did he kill Lee Eun Hye for?
The reason must be related to Lee Dae Chul.
That's right.
Why did he take out his anger with Lee Dae Chul on his daughter?
That horrid little
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid.
Do not tremble in front of them.
The lord will go with you.
He will not leave you
or abandon you.
(A special thanks to Jo Jae Yoon and Lee Hyun Wook)
(The Good Detective)
Have you ever killed someone?
You are no better an animal! Die!
Do you know how it feels?
Why did you kill her? Tell me, you murderer!
It has nothing to do with the case.
He must have changed his mind.
- I told you it's not! - Darn it!
I did it. I killed a person.
- I did it! - I told you to watch your mouths.
I have something to tell the reporters!
- The murderer - Keep going.
I'll do whatever you ask me to.
Do you know Lee Dae Chul?
He's innocent.
Are you sure Lee Dae Chul is the murderer, Detective Gang?
I have something to report.
Watch and make the right judgement.
