(All characters,
organizations, locations, )
(and incidents in this
drama are fictional.)
Come in, Delta Team.
- Gosh, you scared me.
- Keep up the good work.
- You can't come in here. - All right.
How did he even get in?
Gosh, he scared me.
Taking a shot now.
Yes.
- What? - You're here.
There are no security
cameras pointed in this direction.
There's one in front and
another one back there.
But they're both old so
we don't know if they work.
- What are you talking about?
- The security cameras.
There aren't enough cameras
even in residential areas in Manyang.
So of course there's
none for the field of reeds.
Didn't they provide 200 security
cameras for Munju last year?
Yes, most of them were installed
in the entertainment district.
There's no way they had
enough for small towns.
This place is up for redevelopment
so they must've thought
it's a waste of money
to install new cameras.
Why aren't they coming out?
Gosh, they're still here.
Why are they taking pictures?
- Delete those photos.
- You can't take pictures here.
- I'll get going. - All right.
- See you later. - See you.
Keep up the good work.
See you later.
We should find out which cars got in here.
- Right. - So contact the situation room
and secure all the footage
of the roads near here.
All right.
Please watch over Officer
Lim. The mud here is so slippery.
All right. Don't worry about
her and go do your job.
Thank you.
Darn it. There's so much mud.
How are we going to set up the tent?
The condensation in this area is no joke.
Where do we begin to
dig up and until where?
The road is too narrow,
so there won't be enough space.
But let's scoop it up.
Let's hurry up and get it
done before the morning dew.
Should we set it up over here?
- Senior Officer Lim. - Yes, sir?
How long have you been
with us here at KCSI?
You need to come up with a plan.
If we leave out a piece of
thread working in a hurry,
then miss the culprit,
will you take responsibility?
Inspector Ha, don't be so harsh on her.
Hee Mang is listening to
you from inside the womb.
- Congratulations. - Don't worry.
His nagging is like a lullaby to Hee Mang.
I thought the dead body was found as bones.
You'll have to come up with
a plan to scoop up everything.
Well, we did find skeletons, but
Yes, sir. The lower half of the
body stuck in the mud was
like this.
Her feet were wrapped up?
Her feet were wrapped up like this.
Is this a pervert who's obsessed with feet?
Dong Sik!
Dong Sik, tell them. It wasn't him!
It wasn't him! I think
something has gone wrong.
We found conclusive
evidence at the crime scene!
No, Dad.
I didn't do it. I mean it.
It really wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
(Beyond Evil)
(Episode 2: The Disappearance)
The statement recording room?
Not the interrogation room?
How can they take him to
the statement recording room?
How can you throw
the initial witness and testifier
into the recording room?
No one threw him in there.
That nut case walked in there himself.
What?
Sang Bae,
did you start collecting lunatics?
Why is that new inspector
in there with them?
Why are you going this far?
Because it feels like an
officer is suspicious of me.
So I figured I would get
thoroughly investigated.
Do you like me that much?
You ran a background check on me.
What background check?
Everyone knows you
were a suspect in this case.
Everyone?
Like who?
I'm not sure if I remember.
You don't remember this.
You don't remember that.
Why don't you ever remember anything?
So about the dead body.
I still haven't heard an answer.
Wasn't that your sister, Ms. Lee Yu Yeon?
Goodness, you nut cases.
Do you think the recording
room is your bedroom?
The team leader of the VCU
came here to question a testifier?
What an honor.
You already gave us your witness testimony.
Yet you decided to
crawl all the way in here
and plant yourselves in those seats.
You two are my initial witnesses.
So I should play along, shouldn't I?
Do you want to be here?
We both found the body together.
So I should be here with
him to make things fair.
Please begin the questioning.
Is it still acting up? They
won't give you a new computer?
There's no use in getting a new computer.
The detective doing the questioning
has to fill up the report too.
We need to change this frustrating process.
And to do that, we need to change
the minds of those stubborn judges.
Okay. Let me begin by
checking your written statements.
Lee, you went into that reed
field after receiving a call
from the guardian to help
them find a dementia patient.
Yes, ma'am.
You got there as a backup,
then heard Officer Oh Ji Hun scream?
That's right.
Ji Hun, that little coward.
You preserved the scene and
reported to the situation room.
You did well.
So why are you two in here to
leave a recording of this account?
Was the body sent to the NFS?
When will we know the identity of the body?
Why do I feel like I'm here to testify?
Assistant Inspector Lee Dong Sik,
Inspector Han Ju Won.
You know that substations are
only supposed to preserve the scene.
You two have done your job, so go home.
Is that all?
You should write up a report.
Yes, that's all.
I already have the report.
Right here.
Well, since the high and mighty
team leader of VCU says it's over
What are you saying?
I'm done being questioned.
I'm not a kid. You didn't
have to come for me.
Where's Mr. Bang?
We found him. He's back at home.
What about Ji Hun? He
seemed pretty shocked.
I gave him a calming pill,
then laid him down at home.
Happy?
Why are you worrying about them
And Inspector Han,
why did you let him
lure you into doing this?
I got lured?
Can't you see how he's
trying to play it smart?
He didn't want them to
make him come and go,
so he walked into the recording
room and volunteered to get questioned.
If they bother him again,
he's going to be like,
"I've said everything. I won't go
unless you show me a warrant."
Why would they bother me?
Because a body was found
Well,
I guess bodies are found when people die.
I'm starving.
I wonder if the seolleongtang
place is still open for business.
Come along.
What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?
I don't like meat broth.
- The broth is even thicker now. - It is.
Will you clean up quickly
when customers leave?
Hey, where have you been?
Look who this is. It's you, Chief Nam.
Goodness,
you've become even more beautiful.
I thought you were in
Manyang. What brings you here?
Are you here because of that dead body?
Yes.
I heard it's the same
place from 20 years ago.
Is it true it's the girl who
went missing back then?
You know, the girl who was
supposedly killed by her brother,
the son of Manyang Restaurant.
What was his name?
Yes, right. It was Dong Sik.
No, it wasn't him.
And he didn't do that back then.
What do you mean? The one who caught him
Goodness, stop. He didn't do it.
May I have a refill?
What refill?
Come on, don't be so cheap.
You said Manyang Restaurant's
son was framed for what he didn't do,
so you gave him extra
meat and broth on the house.
Don't you remember?
You're still so youthful.
You look even younger.
Right,
I'll give you a refill. Give me a second.
Darn it. I'm full. Let's go.
I asked for a refill. We can't leave now.
Did you say you don't like this?
You never listen, do you?
Darn it, whatever.
Having fun?
You said you don't like meat broth,
but you decided to stick around.
I was wondering if you
were having fun watching.
I heard partners are
supposed to be with each other
around the clock, 365 days a year.
Goodness, that's reassuring.
Dong Sik,
one more time. This is what you did.
Then you cut off the fingers
just as you did on Bang Ju Seon.
This isn't Yu Yeon.
What?
Yu Yeon's nails are
colored with balsam flowers.
Dong Sik, pull yourself together.
Dong Sik!
Dong Sik! Where are you going? Move!
Mom!
- You can't take photos. - Dong Sik!
You didn't do it,
did you? Tell me you didn't!
The tangerine is small.
It must be sweet.
Would you like to try it?
Not like that.
Don't hold her hand so tightly. She's ill.
Dong Sik.
I'll do it.
Are you okay?
Last evening, at the reed field
Take it easy. Have some.
You bought tangerines.
She used to love tangerines.
I bought them for you.
I'll make sure to give some
to her after she has lunch.
What are you doing here?
I don't even do this and I'm her son.
I'm just dropping by on my
way to do volunteer work.
Volunteer work, my foot.
Sister thinks you come
here because of my mom.
You have a store to run.
Why do you close the store
once a week for this?
You know I wouldn't have been
able to even start that business
if it weren't for your parents.
I must repay their kindness.
It's not their kindness
that started the business.
You worked hard for it.
Don't do this on your day off.
Take Min Jung out and eat something good.
What's wrong? Did Min
Jung not come home again?
(Manyang Supermarket)
(Dong Sik's Eternal Love, Min Jung)
That wench did it again.
(Dong Sik's Eternal Love, Min Jung)
The person you have
reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Kang Min Jung.
When will you stop telling lies
about having to do assignments?
Stop it before your dad
finds out and get back home.
If you don't want me to scour through
all the clubs and bars in
Hongdae and Gangnam.
And I told you not to touch my phone.
If you ever touch it again,
your fingers will be
Get back home before I go nuts.
Lee Dong Sik?
Why are you bringing
up that nut's name here?
Because the police officer who
went to the scene was Lee Dong Sik,
and that's where the dead body was found.
You don't think I know that?
I've worked my butt off to earn the title,
"a city free of crime".
Why does this have to happen now,
after 20 years?
Why now, of all times?
Why does that punk have to
show up next to a dead body?
Maybe Officer Lee is a
person who brings bad luck.
- I apologize. - Get out.
(A City Free of Crime, Munju)
Do we know the identity of the dead body?
I'm just in charge of general affairs.
How would I know anything
about a violent crimes case?
I'm sure the NFS processed
this as an emergency case,
but there are no fingerprints,
so it will take a while.
You said all the fingertips were cut off.
Even if all the fingers were intact,
it's just a skeleton now.
Does that mean the
person died a long time ago?
I suppose
the person could have
died about 20 years ago?
A 20-year-old corpse
The body of Lee Yu Yeon,
who went missing 20 years ago?
That's perfect.
Park Jeong Je.
Am I wrong?
Then it's still true that there had
not been any crimes for 20 years,
which means you can keep that title.
Right? Hooray!
Park Jeong Je.
Do you think this is the
time to smirk like that?
You told me to just smirk and take it easy.
Mother.
I think it's less than 8 months old.
Did we get the results from the NFS?
No, we didn't.
Ms. Oh. You know I love shoes.
The victim was wearing
a pair of designer shoes,
and they are one of this
year's fall-winter collection.
And they were sold out as
soon as they were released.
But there's a chance that the
victim is not the owner of the shoes.
That might be true,
but the size of the
footprint on the shoe
matches that of the
estimated figure of the person.
If the body had been buried for
long enough to be skeletonized,
the shoes wouldn't be this clean.
You heard both her feet were
wrapped in a black plastic bag, right?
- Yes. - At first, I thought that was why.
But check this out.
The inside of the bag was very clean too.
There isn't a single speck of dust.
It means before her
feet were put into the bag,
the shoes were brushed off and cleaned.
That's right. The shoes
were cleaned thoroughly
before they were put in the bag.
Then they were wrapped
carefully so no dirt would get in
and tied nicely with a half bow.
As if wrapping a precious present.
Whoever did this must be a complete psycho.
50 minutes of patrol and 10
minutes of break time is the rule,
but I don't expect you to do that.
Let us at least go home.
Are you listening, Officer Lee?
We're almost there.
You shouldn't say things
you can't guarantee.
Will we be patrolling forever then?
If we must, yes.
If there's a person we must catch,
then we must catch him.
If there's a person we must find,
we'll search the whole
world to find him if necessary.
You're right.
We must do anything we can do
to catch that person.
It's cold. You shouldn't
be sitting here in the rain.
Please stand up.
- Please stand up. - No!
Don't touch me!
Where did you start walking?
It must have been a tough journey.
Goodness. Look at these shoes.
Arm. Arm. Arm.
- What? - My arm. It hurts.
I walked here from home.
I see. Where's your home?
Hello. I live in the basement of number 3,
Munhak-dong.
I'm 21 years old and my
name is Shin Seok Gu.
Hello.
I'm 40 and my name is Lee Dong Sik.
Lee Dong Sik? Lee Dong Sik.
Is he intellectually disabled?
He's sitting in the rain
without an umbrella.
He doesn't smell like alcohol,
and his shoes are messy.
And on his neck, he has
A phone.
Let's get him in the car.
Sir, the road is wet.
Come on.
Let's ride the police car.
No! Police car. Police car
Seok Gu.
You're not riding in
the police car. Come on.
- Police car - We're not riding it.
Instead,
could you let me use this for a while?
I'll call your mom.
Mom.
- Mom. - Thanks.
Number 1 should be his
guardian on speed dial.
Mom. Mom
(Mom)
I won't lend you my shoes.
She's not answering. I'll keep calling.
- Right. By any chance
- There was a store over there.
I'll go buy a raincoat and some hot packs.
It's cold.
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
We haven't identified the body yet,
but I don't think it's Yu Yeon.
Dong Sik, did you
know that?
I wasn't 100 percent sure.
So about the dead body.
I still haven't heard an answer.
Wasn't that your sister, Ms. Lee Yu Yeon?
It just didn't seem like her.
Is he back?
The killer from 20 years ago?
Well,
what do you call it? It might be a copycat.
Someone may have looked up old articles.
You haven't seen the
lower half of the body, right?
The MO was exactly the same,
including the parts that
weren't disclosed to the media.
It was exactly the same
as what he did to Ju Seon.
That makes no sense.
So he stayed silent for 20 years,
then began killing again?
What if it didn't happen after 20 years?
Are you saying he could've
killed more people in between?
Then why didn't anyone
The bodies may not have been
found. Then no one would've known.
Then there could be more victims
among the people who are missing
We don't know that yet.
It might not be the case.
We're investigating.
We'll find something soon.
The identity of the dead body.
First off, we need to find out who she is.
Did you know the body was there?
Is that why you volunteered to go?
No.
It's a coincidence.
A coincidence? You?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Some might think I
killed and buried her there.
Are you saying I did it?
Well, I did something.
I used her as bait.
- Ju Won. - I defied my superiors
and wanted to carry out
a sting operation all alone,
then used her as my bait.
But my bait suddenly disappeared.
Then I thought the sting
operation might cause trouble,
so I killed her, cut off her fingers,
then wrapped her feet up nicely,
and buried her six feet under?
An exact copy of the crime
which the chief of Munju
Station covered up 20 years ago.
Why did you close the case back then?
20 years ago. Did you say 20 years ago?
- Sounds great. - Sorry?
An exact copy of the
crime from 20 years ago.
A copycat crime. I like that.
No matter what the NFS does,
they'll never identify this woman.
We can call it a copycat crime,
then push it aside as unresolved.
- Case closed. - Dad.
Once the case is closed quickly,
they won't identify the woman.
Then no one would find
out who the dead victim met.
- I just need you to keep quiet. - Dad.
My son, you learn faster than anyone.
I'm sure you learned your lesson.
If you stick around without doing anything,
you won't face any trouble. Therefore,
do not do anything and just stay still.
The day anyone finds out who that woman is,
that'll be the last breath for us both.
This is not a request. It's an order,
Inspector Han Ju Won.
What did you say?
Where is the case file for Lee Yu Yeon,
Officer Lee's sister?
- Why do you want that?
- Do I have to explain it to you
and make you understand
in order to get to the case file?
What do you think?
- Doesn't it look like you?
- What are you doing?
No?
It's not finished yet.
Inspector Park Jeong Je.
Case Number 2000-031486, column 34, row 3.
That's where you'll find it.
(Gyeonggi Munju Police Station,
Victim: Lee Yu Yeon)
(At 6:43, October 15th,
2000, a report was made)
The first victim before Lee Yu Yeon.
Bang Ju Seon.
(Gyeonggi Munju Police Station,
Victim: Bang Ju Seon)
You couldn't find the case file?
It's just the front page.
Everything else is gone.
It must have gone missing back then.
This is kind of awkward,
but the station moved
buildings a few times.
So a few of these went
missing as we moved around.
Also, a fire broke out once,
so some files were burnt.
We do our best to preserve everything,
but some things are out of our control.
That's not something you should
say as an officer in charge of archives.
You keep saying that
I'm in charge of archives.
It feels great to have you
speak as if I'm a somebody.
It's not like the entire file went missing.
Everything else is gone
other than the title page.
Isn't this weird to you?
Aren't you going to check?
Inspector Han,
let's have a change of thought.
Why do you think those
boxes are piled up in there?
I don't like solving riddles.
We're supposed to type
those into our database,
then have them incinerated.
But those boxes are still in there.
They have the right to be burnt,
but they're not afforded that right.
Why? Because we're too
busy typing in the cases
that are happening now.
Dozens of cases in a day
adds up to thousands in a month.
We get waves of tens of
thousands of new cases annually.
Then these old cases become
neglected in the back room.
And this is that back room.
You didn't have enough time?
You were too busy to check on these files?
It's been a cold case for 20 years.
Don't you know what that means?
That means we don't have
any evidence to identify the killer.
Unless the killer comes forward now
confessing what he did,
there's no way to resolve those cases.
Do you think there is
a single cop out there
who would put their
priority on cases like those?
No one cares about that
case. Why do you want it?
This is different from those cases.
- How so? - Because Lee Dong Sik
Inspector Lee's sister
went missing in this case.
You're right.
How am I going to tell him about this?
(Gyeonggi Munju Police Station,
Victim: Lee Yu Yeon)
(Officer in charge: Assistant
Inspector Nam Sang Bae)
(Gyeonggi Munju Police Station,
Victim: Bang Ju Seon)
(Officer in charge: Assistant
Inspector Nam Sang Bae)
Yes, right. It was Dong Sik.
No, it wasn't him.
And he didn't do that back then.
What do you mean? The one who caught him
Goodness, stop. He didn't do it.
(Nam Sang Bae)
- Hey, Inspector Han. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing at the police station?
(Nam Sang Bae)
- Hey, Inspector Han. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing at the police station?
I'm surprised you came straight here.
Were you surprised?
What exactly should I be surprised by?
You should've been surprised
by the fact that I knew
you were at the station.
I assumed Inspector Park told you.
You're a really bad judge of character.
Jeong Je isn't like that. He
knows how to hold his tongue.
He's not a spy or anything.
Didn't Dong Sik tell you that we
don't have secrets in this town?
"Someone is always
watching from somewhere."
That's right.
In a town like this,
you should solve problems
directly with a frontal attack.
Bang Ju Seon.
Near the crime scene where Officer Oh,
Officer Lee,
and I found that body a few days ago,
they found a woman's body
20 years ago as well, right?
Her name was Bang Ju Seon.
Lee Dong Sik was the suspect.
The detective in charge was Nam Sang Bae.
You arrested him yourself 20 years ago.
And now he's working under you.
Well, you're right.
We humans do not know
what may happen tomorrow.
Right?
When the owner of the seolleongtang
restaurant tried to say something,
why did you stop her?
Were you that curious about it?
Enough to go all the way to the
archives in Munju on your day off?
Or have you already known about the case
and asked to be transferred here?
I don't know why and how
you became so interested in
the case to come all the way here.
But just stay quiet.
Stay quiet?
Do you really think I'm
doing Dong Sik a favor?
Do you think I have a soft spot for him?
You think I'm stopping
you from digging it up
and hiding something for him, don't you?
But it's not true. I don't
even like Dong Sik.
I'm sick of him.
I just want to throw him out if I can.
What are you doing?
Dong Sik
is out of his mind.
He receives missing reports
of an old man with dementia
on his cell phone and
runs around looking for him.
Even yesterday, I heard he
waited for that disabled kid's mom
on the street for six hours.
I heard he only wore
those plastic overshoes
and waited in that pouring rain.
Even when he found a body
that could be his lost sister.
That's how he is.
What? Do you think he's like that
because he's committed to his job?
That's not it.
He's not like that at all.
All he wants is to resolve his deep sorrow.
His father said his lost daughter
could come back at any time.
So he waited for her every
morning at the intersection.
He froze to death in
midwinter waiting for her.
His sister vanished and
all they had from her
were her severed fingertips.
Honey!
My goodness. Honey.
After his mother found her dead husband,
she just lost her mind.
Dong Sik
wasn't even around
when all of that happened
to his parents and sister.
Because people here never
forgot he was the suspect.
That's why he couldn't bear to live here.
I've explained enough for you.
Inspector Han, don't pursue this.
They say a little knowledge
is a dangerous thing.
If people like us with
police authority act foolishly,
we could not only hurt ourselves
but also hurt others.
And that's what I have done to him.
(Regional Investigation Unit)
So what did you find out?
The guys at Foreign Affairs
kept their mouths shut just like this clam.
You called me all the way
here when you got nothing?
You're paying for the food.
You're going to pay for the food.
And I think you'll pay
for the coffee as well.
Violent Crimes,
Women's and Juvenile Affairs,
and even us at Regional
weren't aware of anything.
But Foreign Affairs must have
been working on something in secret.
But all of a sudden, one of their elites
with the biggest connection
wanted to be transferred and that's
your partner, Inspector Han Ju Won.
He wanted to go to Gyeonggi Province,
not Seoul.
And to a substation at that.
What was Foreign Affairs working on?
Illegal immigrants.
That's what they do.
Yes,
they are. But what if it's a murder case?
Then Violent Crimes should be in charge.
But they didn't want Women's
and Juvenile Affairs to know about it.
So the victim is a female?
- Yes. - And Regional?
If RIU wanted the case
It means there was more than one victim.
An illegal immigrant
who couldn't be identified.
And all victims were female.
It's a serial murder case.
(Victim number 6,
Lee Geum Hwa, Lee Dong Sik)
(Lee Dong Sik)
Yes.
You punk,
I told you to behave and not do anything.
I did behave and didn't do anything.
Then why is someone sniffing
around? What have you been doing?
- Who is it? - Regional Investigation Unit.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sure it's nothing.
Don't worry? It's nothing?
You little punk, when will you ever
Officer Lee, former Inspector of
the Regional Investigation Unit.
(Lee Dong Sik, Suspect at the time)
He caused trouble and
was kicked out of the unit,
but I guess he still has connections.
Dong Sik.
What are you doing here again?
Gosh, you visit here a lot these days.
So why are you here again?
I noticed the other day
she's getting bedsores on her back.
So I had to come and check.
Is Min Jung at the store?
Did this brat not come home yet?
You'll wake her up.
(Dong Sik)
Dong Sik.
Hey, Dong Sik.
I called NFS.
But they said the
victim can't be identified.
Yes, I know.
You know?
How would you know that?
You still have that informant
at the telecom company, right?
The phone is off now,
but trace the location of it when it's on.
Is it related to the
victim's identification?
Not really. Just trace it for me.
You know the regulations well enough.
Why are you making me
break the law? Are you crazy?
010-0578-4343.
The number belongs to Kang Min Jung.
What? Are you done eating?
I have no appetite.
Hey, do you think I eat
because I have an appetite?
Have a seat.
Eat some more.
I keep picturing it.
The skeleton.
I'm not qualified to be a police officer.
Everyone's the same.
A police officer is human too.
Finish your meal and go do something else.
Like what?
Well, you could go to an Internet cafe
and play computer games with little kids.
Or go to a club and dance.
Would I be able to forget then?
No.
But it's better than doing nothing.
Eat up.
(Dong Sik)
Why did Dong Sik send me these?
Kang Min Jung?
(Dong Sik)
Dong Sik, what's all this?
What do you think? It's your job.
Call your trainee friends,
and search for the place in the photos.
Oh, this place?
Ladies and gentlemen of all ages.
All night long I mean,
we appreciate your effort
to dance night and day.
I'm Assistant Inspector Lee
Dong Sik of Manyang Substation.
I ask for your cooperation.
Kang Min Jung,
come out when I'm still being nice!
- Who is that? Come out already.
- Who is that?
- Who is Kang Min Jung?
- Maybe he's looking for his girl.
You in the pink shirt and ripped jeans,
stop right there.
- It's him. What on earth?
- That's Kang Min Jung?
Me?
You see? Nothing happened.
What's wrong?
I didn't do anything bad to her.
What are you doing?
So you are saying
there's nothing wrong with making
a girl whom you don't know well
get really drunk?
So there's nothing wrong
with leaving a drunk girl where
anyone can come in and take her?
What are you doing?
You didn't mess with her,
so it's not a crime. Is that it?
Mister.
If I get the bank statements
on what you used here
and the security footage
of the club's entrance,
I can easily figure out who
you are and the vehicle you own.
Make sure to be really careful.
Hey, Oh Ji Hun.
I'm thirsty. Get me some water.
Why did I even help her?
Hey, Big Mouth.
You told him that I went to a club, right?
I'm going to kill him.
Gil Gu.
Your belly is as big as Mount Halla.
Gosh, Min Jung. You should quit drinking.
Alcohol does more harm than good.
Gosh! Gosh, it stinks.
It's not me, you brat.
I only wear the same clothes three times.
You totally smell like a widower.
Why isn't anyone shutting her mouth?
That's right! Come at me!
Hey, let go of me.
Let go of me while I'm being nice. Hey,
you!
Good morning.
Who is this handsome man?
Hi, how can I help you?
He's an officer?
I see. Is he a newbie?
Is she drunk? Where is her guardian?
Did he just ignore me? I'm Kang Min Jung.
- I don't care if you're handsome!
- So this is what happened.
Office Lee went to Seoul
and brought her back.
Get rid of her.
Hey, handsome guy. I
was going to join your table.
Kang Min Jung. Get to your senses!
Dong Sik. I didn't mean to cheat on you.
Shut your mouth and just sleep.
You won't be able to get out
of here if you don't sober up.
That's too harsh. Why don't you uncuff her?
If she runs away, will you bring her back?
She tried to run three times at dawn.
Just think of her as a wild drunkard
and get ready for duty.
It's going to take a while
until Min Jung sobers up.
She only listens to Dong Sik.
Is it okay to patrol with me today?
It doesn't matter.
Who is she? Is she
Officer Lee's girlfriend?
Dong Sik is going to
blow up if he hears this.
You saw Jin Mook during our team dinner,
right?
It's his daughter.
He went all the way to Seoul
to bring back the daughter
of a supermarket owner?
She's not just the daughter
of a supermarket to Dong Sik.
Jin Mook was an orphan,
and Dong Sik's parents
raised Jin Mook like a son.
Hold on a second.
That's Manyang Supermarket.
Dong Sik's parents
helped look for a spot
and signed the contract.
I see.
He shouldn't come.
Just a moment.
Jin Mook.
Hey, it's you, Ji Hun.
Dong Sik has to handle something,
so he's working in the office.
Oh, really? Okay, have a good day.
Why didn't you tell him about his daughter?
We wouldn't have gone
to catch her in Seoul
and put handcuffs on her
if we were going to tell him.
If he finds out that Min
Jung went to clubs
and got drunk
instead of doing assignments,
he's going to pass out.
That's his job as a parent.
Did you see how he couldn't meet my eyes?
He's meek and mild.
And he cried every night
while raising Min Jung alone.
Min Jung doesn't have a mother.
She ran away soon after
giving birth to Min Jung.
Jin Mook can't forget her when it's
been 20 years since she ran away.
Jin Mook keeps the photo
of her in his wallet like a fool.
So Dong Sik is like Min Jung's mother
and half of a father as well.
So you're saying even
when the whole town
has turned upside down
because of a skeleton,
Dong Sik is playing the
role of mother and father?
Because it's him.
Because it's Dong Sik.
I'm thirsty.
Don't tell Dad.
Clean up your nails and go home right away.
What are you doing,
Officer Oh? Aren't you going home?
Why is the patrol car
coming in so late today?
We have bad news.
The Busan Case
Hey, did you see the breaking news?
- Turn on the TV. - Okay.
The man who was arrested
without a warrant two days ago
as the suspect of a missing persons
case has been released today.
The police interrogated
him over the possibility
that he murdered the missing woman,
but it seems like the police
have failed to find out
whether the missing woman is dead or alive.
The police official said
that the current evidence
is not strong enough to
request an arrest warrant.
They'll specify a suspect once
they gather more evidence.
Gosh,
there's no need to watch it. Turn it off.
Goodness,
I feel bad for the victim who got killed.
We don't know for certain
if the victim is dead or alive.
What's wrong with you, Inspector Han?
They found blood in the
bathroom of the victim's house.
We can't conclude that she's
dead just because they found blood.
It seems like there's only a
small amount of blood too.
But I still think it's him.
They have his blood,
and he wanted to hide their affair,
so his motive is clear.
So letting him go without
getting a warrant is a little
What difference does it make?
Why are you being like this?
Do you think it's possible to
indict a suspect for murder
where the body is missing?
It's impossible.
That's right.
Even if they request a warrant,
it'll get rejected.
You know the reasons that judges like.
That darned reasonable doubt
- That they can't exclude.
- That they can't exclude.
Even so,
it's wrong to not be able to punish
the murderer.
That's what the law says.
What can we do about it?
Don't you agree, Inspector Han?
You're right.
It might end up as a cold
case if they can't find the body.
Dong Sik.
You should wake Min
Jung up and take her home.
Let's wrap things up and go home.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
I think she dropped those.
(Dong Sik)
We spent last night and all of
today together. Isn't that enough?
Shut it. Where are you?
I told you to go straight home.
I did.
I went through so much to
come in without Dad knowing
You lie all the time now.
How would you go home without your keys?
Did you climb over the wall?
You dropped them at the substation.
Gosh, Dad can't find out about this.
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
Hey, you're here.
- Hey. - What took you so long?
My gosh, you and your fatherly love.
Come sit here.
Do you have to put in so much effort
to grill the meat for your daughter?
If you grill it on charcoal first,
it tastes much better.
He's grilling it on charcoal too?
Why do you love that brat so much?
Come on. Thanks to her,
we're having Korean beef.
Thank you, Mr. Kang.
Jin Mook, come sit here. I'll grill it.
No, it's okay. Go have your meal.
Enjoy.
I'll do it. Go sit down.
- Give it to me. - No, it's okay.
Min Jung likes the meat I grill for her.
You guys, just come join us.
We can call Min Jung here.
Yes, let's do that.
Don't.
She stayed up for several
days to finish her assignments.
I'll bring it to her.
Will she be able to eat it?
She must be still hungover.
It seems like she drank a lot last night.
Watch it.
The meat is burning.
Inspector Hwang, take over.
Jae Yi, go and help them.
The mighty Yoo Jae Yi takes the mound!
- Give it to me. - Here you go.
Now that it's settled,
get up,
everyone. We should pay our respects.
Dong Sik, come join us.
Four days ago, within our jurisdiction,
a dead body was found.
It's an unidentified body whose
name and age we can't figure out.
No one knows for certain
how she lived her life,
but one thing is for sure
that in her last moment,
the police weren't there for her.
We must catch the culprit
so that this never happens again.
Let's close our eyes and
pay respect to the victim.
May she rest in peace.
At ease. Raise your glasses.
Are you doing this for the money?
- No, sir! - No, sir!
Are you all healthy?
- No, sir! - No, sir!
What's there to life?
- Nothing, sir! - Nothing, sir!
Then Let's catch them!
- Let's catch them! - Let's catch them!
Why are you here? I
thought you were going home.
Where did you go? What took you so long?
You've been weird since dinner.
What do you mean? I just
took a lap around the house.
You ran in the middle of
the night in those shoes?
I was going to sleep over,
but it's so cold here.
Let's heat up the house.
The boiler is broken.
Then you should fix it.
It's in the basement, right?
You can trust me with it.
The lights are out in the basement.
I don't have a flashlight,
so you won't be able to see anything.
Even the Yu Yeon's case files?
- What? - The file is gone.
Even Bang Ju Seon's case file is gone.
Dong Sik, did you take them?
- Why would I?
- You can tell me everything.
We're friends.
Why would I take them?
Look at those. I can't even
take them down because of Mom,
and it's driving me crazy.
Of course.
Of course
I'm sorry. I'm in charge
of general affairs, you see.
I went a bit overboard.
It's so chilly here. I should go.
- Jeong Je. - Yes?
What is it? Do you have something to say?
Get home safe.
Okay.
Hey.
I'm not the one who found
out the files are missing.
Inspector Han Ju Won.
He found that out.
Goodnight then.

(Name: Lee Yu Yeon,
Date of disappearance: October 15)
(Please help us find the missing Yu Yeon.)
(Q. How are you related to
her? A. I'm her twin brother.)

31G 8305.
What are you doing here?
I'm getting used to the neighborhood.
As you know, this is my jurisdiction.
As you know, it's also my jurisdiction.
Do you want me to give you a tour?
I'm good. I don't want to bother you.
Inspector Han, you're a lucky man.
Because I think you'll go
back to where you belong.
- What do you mean?
- You're out early in the morning
for preparation.
Leave 8305 here.
I said I'm good.
Officers should work on foot.
What are you doing with your car?
Come along.
Let's take a tour of our
jurisdiction slowly and thoroughly.
Now, we just came all the
way down from my place.
If you go straight and turn left,
you'll find our substation.
If you turn right and go straight,
you'll find the town hall.
The back alley of the town
hall leads to the hiking trail.
Is there an empty house near here?
I'm thinking about moving here.
But you'll be going back soon.
Isn't it too much to move here?
This place is growing on
me. So I'm going to move
to a house in this neighborhood.
Which part of me are you so interested in?
I guess it's not Lee Dong Sik,
the police officer.
Is it Lee Dong Sik, the suspect?
Then which part of me
are you so interested in?
It seems like you're very curious about
what I've been working
on at Foreign Affairs.
Why? What is it?
(Chinese Restaurant)
Did he just ignore me? I'm Kang Min Jung.
Min Jung
(Manyang Supermarket)
(We'd like to thank Lee Do
Hyun for his special appearance.)
(Beyond Evil)
The suspect appeared
again after 20 years
and committed a crime using the same MO.
What's more interesting is
that the man who was
the suspect 20 years ago
recently moved back to this neighborhood.
Don't get involved this time.
Don't listen to anything
and don't look at anything.
Why do you not want me to be here so badly?
Jeong Je, you don't think
Dong Sik is the killer, do you?
What are you going to do
now? What are you going to do?
I'm going to get you. I'll make sure of it.
