A new artist has been
taking the country by storm.
This is "Oh My" by
Jang Yoon Jeong.
Instead of wielding a weapon,
a police officer must
find another way to
I need to see some ID.
BAEK HEE SEONG
Born in 1982?
You look young for your age.
Did you just move to
this neighborhood?
How did you know?
I don't think I've
seen you around.
It seems like a nice
place to start over.
And it's quiet.
Now,
let's learn about the
facial expression
that shows happiness.
Never overdo it.
Do you see the
distinctive marks?
A, wrinkles form
around the eyes.
B, your cheeks are raised.
C, there's a certain
movement to the wrinkles
around the eyes.
How's that? Doesn't
he look happy?
EPISODE 2
My gosh.
Why are you already up?
Honey, I had a dream.
Was it a good one?
I dreamed of our
first encounter.
Is this sizzling rice
soup? It looks delicious.
- Do you want to taste it?
- Yes.
There.
How can it be this tasty?
The broth is cooked
with dried pollack.
- All done.
- Can I help you with anything?
Yes, can you bring out the
kkakdugi from the fridge?
Got it.
Is it this one?
No, it's not. Maybe
it's this one.
This is young radish kimchi.
It's all right, I'll get it.
Can you wake Eun Ha
and help her wash up?
Sure.
- Mom.
- Yes?
Who's taller? Me or Soo Young?
Who is Soo Young again?
Why do I even bother?
Let's blow-dry your hair.
It's too hot when you do it.
I'll ask Dad.
He's better at it.
I can do a good job too.
But you're not really
good at anything.
Don't be ridiculous. I'm
good at a lot of things.
- Dad, dry my hair for me.
- Where's your mom?
Mom said it was a secret.
Didn't you promise not
to keep secrets from me?
Oh, that's right.
Where did your mom go?
She went to clean up
your workshop for you.
What?
Ji Won?
Did you break your teacup?
The one you cherish.
Oh, I got careless yesterday.
Let me take that.
You'll cut yourself.
Anyway, let's eat breakfast
before it gets cold.
Who did you have tea with?
A customer.
Not just any customer though.
It was someone you
were happy to see.
What?
That's how you are. Cool
beverages for brief meetings
and hot beverages
for long chats.
Is that how I am?
I know you better than
you know yourself.
Anyway, who did you chat
for a while over tea?
You don't have many people
to share those moments with.
A friend.
What friend? Someone
who was at our wedding?
No, a friend from
middle school, actually.
We ran into one another.
Really? But you said you
were a loner as a boy.
Still, it was nice to see
him after all these years.
See?
It's why I've been telling you
to go to reunions and stuff.
I came down here to wipe
your furniture clean.
But I'm hungry. Can we
enjoy breakfast first?
What's with that gaze?
I must still be the prettiest
woman on earth to you.
Don't we have fine
weather today?
Look at you changing
the subject.
That's a huge change
considering that you were never
able to answer those questions.
Ma'am, it's me.
Ma'am?
Why is the door unlocked?
What on earth?
Why is her thumbnail missing?
It's awful.
The Yeonju City
serial murder case.
What?
That detail.
The missing thumbnails.
They're just like the victims of
the Yeonju City serial murder case.
In total, there
were seven victims.
They all had missing thumbnails.
Are you talking about the case
that Reporter Kim Moo Jin
- mentioned last time?
- Yes.
Why haven't I heard about this?
The culprit committed
suicide before he got caught,
so it became a closed case.
And people forgot about it
along with the World Cup.
You think someone imitated a case
that happened over 18 years ago?
- Why?
- Well
Mom! Where is my mom?
Mom! Mom!
Get off me, you jerks!
Who killed my mom?
Let me through!
Mom! Mom, I'm here!
Mom! Why did my mom die? Mom
Mom!
Hyun Su. Hyun Su, why
are you doing this?
Why are you doing this to me?
You're committing a crime.
You know that, right?
Do you remember?
18 years ago,
I was in your shoes,
and you were in mine.
Hold him!
- Let me go.
- Push him back.
- Hold him tight.
- I did.
- Let me go!
- Stay still!
SUMMER OF 2002
Hyun Su.
Did you think I'd let you get
away with doing this to me?
I should've twisted your neck.
Don't glare at me!
You'd better beat
me up properly.
Or else, I'll really break
your skull next time.
I bet you witnessed it.
You saw your dad committing
murder, didn't you?
Did you really not know?
Or are you just pretending
like you don't know anything?
If that's not it, did
you help him do it
just like what the rumors say?
Hey.
You're scared of me, aren't you?
The village foreman told me
that you're weird because
you take after your dad.
He says you'll turn out like him
if you don't learn your lesson.
What do you think?
Hyun Su.
If it hurts too much,
don't hesitate to tell me.
It'll definitely be more
entertaining for me.
Kim Moo Jin. Remember this.
Next time, it'll be your turn.
Throw it at him.
After 18 years,
it's finally your turn.
Hyun Su.
If it hurts too much,
don't hesitate to tell me.
Hey Do Do Hyun Su.
It'll definitely be more
entertaining for me.
We were young then.
Come on.
That's how kids grow up.
It wasn't just me.
I'm just kidding.
If I was really
going to kill you,
I would've covered the
floor with a plastic cover.
Hyun Su.
What do you want from me?
If it's money, I'll give
you as much as you want.
Right now,
I'm really scared
and frightened.
I can't feel my arms and legs.
Moo Jin.
I'm just like my dad.
What?
You can try all you want
to make me pity you,
but I won't feel a thing.
So don't cry.
You're making me want to cover
the floor with a plastic cover.
That's my cell phone.
From now on, don't
make me repeat myself.
Tell me your passcode.
The marks on her
back are violet.
That means she was on the
floor for 8 to 9 hours.
I don't see any ligature marks.
The rope was just
there for no reason.
She was stabbed and
cut eight times.
It seems like she died
due to excessive bleeding.
But I don't see any blood here.
Her ankle broke after she died.
Does that mean the culprit
broke it after killing her?
Yes, that's right.
It looks like her thumbnail gotten
rid of after her death as well.
Why do you think the culprit
only removed her thumbnail?
If it's to get rid of DNA or
any other kind of evidence,
the culprit should've
removed all her other nails.
This is similar to a case
that happened in the past.
What was it again?
The Yeonju City
serial murder case?
Yes.
The culprit's name was
Do Min Seok.
Do Min Seok collected
the victims' thumbnails.
They were like souvenirs to him.
What's this?
It's not blood.
Give me a cotton swab.
A serial murder copycat?
COPYCAT CRIME: A CRIME THAT COPIES
CRIMES FROM THE NEWS OR MOVIES
That stuff doesn't
exist in Korea.
But it's exactly the same as the
Yeonju City serial murder case.
The culprit's only using
that as camouflage.
She was obviously murdered
by an acquaintance.
Judging by the food we found
in the victim's stomach,
it looks like she was eating
an apple with the culprit
right before she was murdered.
You see, we found apple
peels in her room,
but there was no knife.
That means the culprit
killed her with that knife.
They were eating an apple together,
but something caused them to fight,
and the culprit got
angry and stabbed her.
That's what happened.
The culprit would've
brought a weapon
if the goal was to kill her.
Exactly.
Any CCTVs?
There's one in front of
her house, but it's broken.
Did she borrow or
lend any money?
We found out that she
lent about 20,000 dollars.
She lent money to the merchants
as she ran a gimbap restaurant
and collected money every day.
She was pretty rich.
According to the social worker
who first found her body,
she even donated money
to Gangsu Welfare Center.
It was quite a large
amount of money.
How much?
She donated about
370,000 dollars.
She was a major donor.
So the welfare center made sure
to take extra good care of her.
I can't believe this
happened to her.
What do you mean the
welfare center
took extra good care of her?
We just literally
took good care of her.
She was very old, and
she lived by herself.
So we were very
attentive to her.
She owned a building,
and it looks like she had at
least over a million dollars.
- What about her family?
- She had one son.
Darn it.
Detective Cha, why
are you so quiet?
Why Do Min Seok?
What do you mean?
He was never exposed to the
media like other murderers.
And it wasn't an unsolved case
like the murder case in Hwaseong,
so he's not very famous.
So why Do Min Seok?
How is that important right now?
Reporter Kim Moo Jin.
It's because of the
article he wrote.
Ms. Kang, I don't think I
can make it to work today.
What are you talking about?
You don't come by the
office daily anyway.
I will be there tomorrow though.
Are you kidding me?
You know very well how much
I loathe journalists
who only sit at their desks.
Just remember your deadline.
- Ms. Kang, I'm tied up
- I'm busy, so bye.
You work at a weekly magazine,
so the deadline will be Friday.
I have a whole three days until
someone reports you missing.
Hyun Su, hear me out, please.
- Go ahead.
- Right.
We're in the basement of Baek
Hee Seong's workshop, right?
- Keep going.
- You must be his employee.
Right.
Yesterday,
I agreed to meet Mr. Baek here.
Why? Well, his wife
introduced me to his workshop.
His wife
is a detective
in the Violent Crimes Unit.
Do you still not get it?
You'll be caught in no time.
Moo Jin.
Do you still not get it?
Don't you know why
you're locked down here?
How do you think I got away
with being a wanted
man for 18 years?
Wait. Are you
Baek Hee Seong?
You're Detective Cha's husband?
Why?
You said yesterday
that you had nothing to do
with the village foreman dying.
That's what you
told me yesterday!
Do you want to know the truth?
Once you know though,
you'll have to pay for it.
What?
Actually, I don't
think I want to know.
Moo Jin.
I know
who killed the village foreman.
No, I really don't want to know.
I bet you're curious.
No, Hyun Su, don't do this.
- The killer is
- No.
I won't hear this.
Don't tell me. I don't
want to hear who it is.
That's right.
It was me.
DO HYUN SU
Hyun Su,
this is wrong.
You can't do this.
Hand that over to me.
Hae Su.
You can't do this, Hyun Su.
I actually feel quite all right.
YEONJU CITY SERIAL MURDER CASE
CRIME SCENE PHOTOS
Found it. Ji Won, look.
It's the series Reporter Kim Moo
Jin has been publishing online.
He writes about the nation's
most heinous criminals.
His latest piece
was on Do Min Seok.
So you're saying that the
culprit read this post
and copied Do Min Seok's MO?
Listen to this.
"The following was done to
all of Do Min Seok's victims."
"A noose around the neck"
"and a permanent
injury to the ankle."
"What was most
disturbing though"
"was the fact that both
thumbnails had been removed."
What do you think? Aren't
the details similar?
The actual facts of
the serial murder
tell a completely
different story though.
It wasn't a noose that was
around the victims' necks.
In fact, it was the dog leash
from the brand Hound Dog.
The killer only used
one of a certain design,
but the police never revealed
any details regarding them,
so I can understand the mix-up.
However, if the killer is a
copycat, he or she would know
that Do Min Seok tied a dog
leash on the victims' necks.
The article described the
ankle injury as permanent,
but no bones were broken. The
Achilles tendon was ruptured.
In other words, this culprit doesn't
know about Do Min Seok at all.
What if the killer did
this to throw us off?
Then
Detective Choi was right.
The killer definitely
had a motive,
and this was to make it seem
like there isn't one. Right?
But why Do Min Seok though?
Well, it was the most recent
article in the series
and was posted online
for everyone to see.
KINDERGARTEN PRINCIPAL
- Yes?
- Ms. Cha,
I'm afraid you're
needed here right away.
POWER OFF
YOU HAVE 2 MISSED CALLS.
Hey, you!
Gosh.
Where's the ledger my mom kept?
What?
Come on. I'm in desperate
need of cash right now.
I don't know. How should
I know where it is?
Who else would know it?
My mom told you just
about everything.
You need to get
your life together.
Do you have any idea how
worried your mother was?
Don't get cheeky with me,
and hand over the ledger.
It's mine now anyway.
Mr. Ahn, your mother
only just passed away.
Where's your common decency?
What? How dare you
What do you think you're doing?
And in broad daylight?
Gambling?
Yes, she was deeply concerned
of his gambling habits.
Anyway, what brings
you by, Detective?
I'm investigating the people who
held a grudge against Ms. Jung.
I thought you could
give me some names.
I heard this might be
part of serial murder.
- But is that not it?
- The culprit just tried
to confuse us with
the investigation.
The culprit was very clumsy.
The person stabbed the
body way too many times.
Amateurs tend to stab
people here and there
because they don't know how to
kill someone in just one try.
- They make a huge mess of
- Please stop.
It's really hard for
me to listen to you.
I'm sorry.
Gosh.
Detective.
I don't know if this might help.
But she called me last night
and asked me some questions
regarding her will.
"Her will"?
She wrote a will,
and she wanted to know
how to get it notarized.
I told her I'll visit her the
next day and explain it to her.
She wrote a will?
It's natural for kids to fight
and get hurt in the process.
Soo Young, you should
apologize to Eun Ha.
And Eun Ha, tell her it's
okay so you guys can make up.
No, she's not
going to apologize.
What?
Soo Young hit Eun Ha
and made her nose bleed.
But Eun Ha touched something
that belonged to Soo Young.
I'll pay for her hospital bill.
But she's not
going to apologize.
I just wanted
to hold your doll because
it was really pretty.
Let's not turn this into a
fight between our families.
We should focus on making
sure the kids reconcile.
Ms. Cha.
You need to teach kids not
to steal when they're young.
Ma'am, I think you're
crossing the line.
You know what they say.
- "He who will steal an egg"
- "Will steal an ox."
What did you just say?
I heard what happened.
I apologize. It's my fault.
I'll educate her
properly from now on.
What? Oh, okay.
Eun Ha.
Apologize to Soo Young.
- Honey.
- Eun Ha.
Go on.
I'm sorry. It was my fault.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm sorry, Principal.
You just ignored
Eun Ha's feelings.
Why would you apologize?
You made us seem like fools.
But it's true that Eun Ha
touched Soo Young's doll first.
Who punch their friend
for touching their doll?
Do you seriously
understand that?
It's impossible to
understand everyone.
I just wanted to deal
with the issue first.
Deal with it? Do you really think
you dealt with this properly?
What about Eun Ha?
She's been quiet all along.
You're her favorite person.
Imagine how hurt she must be.
Ji Won.
Did I make a terrible mistake?
Don't ask. I'm upset.
I'm sorry for upsetting you.
It's my first time being a
dad, so I'm still struggling.
Okay. From now on,
I'll ask you first and do
what you tell me to do.
Sure, you will.
Just do what you can to
make Eun Ha feel better.
Don't worry about her.
Leave it to me.
Don't smile. It's annoying.
Hello, this is Cha Ji Won.
We got the test results
regarding the stuff that
was on Jung Mun Ok's thumb.
It turns out it was lipstick.
"Lipstick"?
But the victim wasn't
wearing any makeup.
Why aren't you eating?
This is egg tart, your favorite.
You're my favorite.
But
you like Soo Young more than me.
Gosh, that's nonsense.
You took her side.
I'm on your side.
And I'm going to raise
you to become a nice kid.
You have a good reputation now.
What's that?
It means no one will doubt you
when something bad happens.
But if you have a bad reputation,
people will doubt you first.
After what happened today,
Soo Young and her mother will
have a very bad reputation.
Who cares? I was the
only one who apologized.
And I was the only one
who got a nosebleed.
I feel so upset.
Don't be too upset.
I saw Soo Young earlier
crying on her way home
because she lost her doll.
Really?
It's because she didn't
take good care of her stuff.
Eun Ha, don't ever
be like her, okay?
Okay.
Okay then. You should eat now.
It's delicious.
Is it delicious?
Then would you like
one more today?
Yes.
Dad, you're my favorite person
in the whole wide world.
Right back at you.
LAST WILL AND TESTAMEN
"In return for
agreeing to hold"
"a memorial service
for me after I die,"
"I shall donate all the money I
have to Gangsu Welfare Center."
"Jung Mun Ok."
Is Is this for real?
She kept it in a box
deep inside her closet
along with her ledger.
Darn it! This makes no sense!
No.
I I bet that wench
made her write this.
That darn wench.
Were you at your mother's
house last night
at around 10:30pm?
Someone testified that she heard
you guys having an argument.
Are you doubting me right now?
When your mother told you
that she's going to donate all
her money to the welfare center,
it must've made you furious.
Do you have proof?
Do you have evidence to
prove that I killed her?
What time did you leave
her house last night?
What time did you leave?
Darn it.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Listen to me. If you want me to
come to the police station again,
bring me a warrant.
Okay?
Gosh, this is so annoying.
I never knew you were so slow
at understanding things, Ji Won.
That's what I want
to say to you.
This is Jung Mun Ok's will.
A will saying she's going
to donate all her money
to the welfare center
after she dies.
Look at the date. It
was written yesterday.
It was written on the
day she was murdered,
but you don't think
it's important?
Jae Seop, listen
to me for a second.
Why Do Min Seok?
That's just a camouflage
to hide the true motive
behind the murder.
No, the culprit had to
remove her thumbnail
because something was there.
And that was the
culprit's lipstick.
It's easy to detect a
person's DNA from lipstick.
But there was lipstick
on her finger as well.
Why didn't the culprit
cut off her finger?
Because the culprit
didn't see it.
Her blood hadn't oxidized
yet, so it wasn't visible.
She could've gotten that
lipstick mark from anyone.
You can just ignore that.
Try to focus on this.
Who do you think would get
furious after reading this will?
Isn't it so obvious?
The culprit could've
just stolen some stuff
and made it look
like a burglary case.
But why go through all the
trouble and follow Do Min Seok?
I'm so sick of that
darn Do Min Seok!
Hey, you.
Come over here.
What do you think?
- Me?
- Yes, you tell me.
Should we look at the
lipstick or the will?
So That is
I need to think about it.
Why you
Ji Won, stop being stubborn.
It was Ahn Jong Goo.
We have to catch him and
get evidence right away.
We have to investigate the
women who knew the victim
and find out whose
lipstick that was!
What's wrong with you?
This is the strongest
motive for murder!
Stop it!
JUNG MUN OK
What is it? What?
Hey.
The fingerprint on the will.
Is this
JUNG MUN OK
Jung Mun Ok probably
couldn't find a stamp pad
and used the killer's
lipstick for her fingerprint.
She probably wiped off
the lipstick on her thumb,
but it's hard to remove
it from under the nail.
Her killer was probably
bothered about that
and cut off her thumbnail.
And she set it up so that it
looked like Do Min Seok's MO.
With whom do you think Jung
Mun Ok wrote the will with?
Park Seo Young.
The social worker?
Since I focused on people who knew
the victim rather than the MO,
she led me to find the will.
She made me turn my attention
completely to Ahn Jong Goo.
She called me last night
and asked me some questions
regarding her will.
Let's investigate
Park Seo Young
as soon as we get the
forensics report for the will.
But
Why did she kill her?
What is Park Seo Young's
motive for murder?
How did it go?
It was lipstick.
Yes, Mother.
I have something
to finish today.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
I don't know what I
would've done without you.
You're taking care
of my daughter,
so I need to take care of yours.
We're in the same situation,
so don't feel so bad.
That's right. I gave her
egg tarts just before,
so you don't have to give her
another snack. See you later.
Okay.
WITNESS
CHEONGGYECHEON STREAM,
NAM SOON KIL, 5PM
CHEONGGYECHEON STREAM,
NAM SOON KIL, 5PM
Hyun Su, give me some water.
My throat is parched.
I may really die.
Please. Water.
Explain.
Why are you meeting
Nam Soon Kil?
This?
It's nothing.
I remember now.
He said he had a tip,
so I said I'd meet him.
A tip about what?
A tip about what?
Give me the water first.
I gave you one,
so you should give me
one. That's only fair.
Tell me. A tip about what?
You.
Why did he call you?
I wrote an article.
What article?
Just about your dad and you.
You know.
When are you meeting him?
Today.
Hyun Su.
Wouldn't it be bad for you
if I don't show
up to the meeting?
Park Seo Young.
I'm Detective Cha Ji Won
from Gangsu Police Station.
Do you need something
more from me?
We obtained female DNA
from Jung Mun Ok's will,
which we believe
belongs to the killer.
We are asking for
a DNA sample
from all the women
that she knew.
The sample will be destroyed
as soon as it is examined.
Will you cooperate?
I refuse.
Refusing to cooperate
may be held against
you in a court of law.
Do you have proof that
I killed that old woman?
No, not yet.
Her clothes look funny.
Let's see the video
of her leaving.
Okay.
It's different.
Not different, she
flipped it inside out.
You're right.
Because she got the
victim's blood on it.
That means Park Seo Young went
home immediately after killing her.
That means
The weapon and the victim's
nail are in that envelope.
NAM SOON KIL
REPORTER KIM MOO JIN
Hello, Mr. Kim. Are you here?
I'm busy on a case and
won't be able to make it.
Okay. I understand.
Can we do a brief
interview over the phone?
Yes, sure. That's fine.
What tip did you want to
give regarding Do Hyun Su?
Just a minute.
YEONJU CITY SERIAL MURDER
CASE, DO MIN SEOK AND HIS SON
You said Do Hyun Su disappeared
from the town in the summer of 2002.
I lived with him from
the fall of 2002
to the summer of 2005.
We were both deliverymen.
And?
I thought something must
have happened in his past
but I never imagined he
would've murdered someone.
I would've reported
him if I knew.
I had no idea that his father
was a serial killer either.
He's Do Min Seok's son
No wonder.
"No wonder"?
He was weird. He wasn't normal.
I watched a movie with him once,
and he asked at which
scenes he should laugh
and be sad.
You knew Do Hyun
Su for three years.
Is that all?
Pardon?
Okay. Thank you for the tip.
Good day.
Wait, no. Don't hang up.
Hyun Su
has been threatening me.
What?
It's driving me crazy. Please.
Please protect me.
Nothing?
No. There's no video
of her leaving
after she came home.
Shouldn't we search her place?
Before she gets rid
of the evidence.
She must have known she
was being caught on camera.
She wouldn't have brought the
evidence home, knowing that.
I'm positive she went out.
I saw a shooting
star last night.
I feel like she
was saying goodbye.
Please move. You're
interfering with my work.
I'm shocked, to be honest.
You're not upset at all.
Because I did nothing wrong.
Hello?
It's me.
- I found it.
- Okay.
Park Seo Young.
From this moment on,
you're a suspect of murder.
You are under arrest for
the murder of Jung Mun Ok.
May I fix my makeup first?
- What?
- I don't go around like this.
I didn't wear makeup today
to pretend to be sad.
I read somewhere that your
sentence varies by your appearance.
Go ahead.
Why did you kill Jung Mun Ok?
There were too many stairs.
JUNG MUN OK
I hate complicated things,
so you take care of
the notarization,
lawyer, all of that stuff.
Okay.
I want nothing else now.
Just come here every day,
talk to me, and keep me
company like a granddaughter.
That's all I want. I
don't need anything else.
Every day?
Gosh.
Seo Young. Scratch
my back for me.
It feels the best when
you scratch my back.
Major donors are like
deities to our center.
The thought of climbing
those stairs
every single day until
that old woman died
made me livid.
I'm always thankful
for you, Seo Young.
My pleasure.
This is the police.
She's dead!
Please help.
Hey.
How could you look at
me like I'm some insect?
I'm hurt.
How could you kill a person
for something like that?
They say about three percent
of the people are like me.
Who knows?
There may be one near you too.
From a month ago,
I get a call from
a payphone at 4am.
Did that person say
he was Do Hyun Su?
Who are you?
Tell me who you are!
Are you happy?
Hyun Su?
I've been waiting for your life
to become the happiest ever.
You
You're Do Hyun Su, right?
I'm going to do what I can now.
He's the only person
who'd do that to me.
Why is that?
I was young and
blinded by greed.
So I wronged him.
Are you sure you lost it here?
Yes, I am.
I had my wallet when I went up.
It's not here. I can't find it.
I'll lend you money if you
need, so let's go down.
What are you doing?
I need your money.
I want to live well too.
Hyun Su will get
revenge on me for sure.
Suspect someone else.
Do Hyun Su died.
What? Are you positive?
Yes. So you should
forget all about him.
That's such a relief.
A relief?
He was on the run after
killing someone anyway.
He shouldn't be alive.
It's better for certain people
to die. Don't you agree?
Right.
It's better for
certain people to die.
What a shame.
I really hated your eyes.
I give up.
Arrest me.
It's okay. It's fine.
The police can't do this!
Who would believe someone like
you who killed the lady
because you didn't
want to climb stairs?
So what?
A suspect could be killed
during a physical altercation
with a police officer.
Don't you agree?
Are you insane?
Does fooling and hurting
those weaker than you
make you feel superior?
I confessed to the crime.
I'll definitely report this!
I'll watch and remember
just how pathetic
your last moments will be.
The carotid artery, 12 seconds.
The subclavian
artery, 3.5 seconds.
I'll make sure it
ends within a minute.
So take your pick.
Which one will it be?
Don't.
Don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.
I'm only joking. How can a
police officer take a life?
I notified you of
the arrest earlier.
Since you're a human
before the law,
you have the right to an attorney
and the right to explain yourself.
You may appeal to the
terms of your arrest.
Always take them
after your meal.
- Sure. Thank you.
- Take care.
Goodness, it's your son.
Hee Seong, what brings
you by unannounced?
No reason. I just
missed you, that's all.
Goodness.
It sure is annoying
not to have a son.
- Have a safe trip home.
- Sure.
She may seem happy and bright,
but she takes medicine
for her depression.
Isn't it unprofessional to reveal
other people's medical issues?
Their misfortune brings me joy.
If I can't be like others,
I'd rather they be like me.
So what's the occasion?
You're never one
to just visit me.
I need some sleeping pills.
Honey!
What happened to your face?
I accidentally cut
myself with paper.
Gosh, I love rain.
Look at you all excited.
Should a cop enjoy
the rain though?
Doesn't it wash away evidence?
But it's romantic.
I want to eat
something delicious.
Really? What would you like?
Savory pancakes?
Savory pancakes on a
rainy day? Sounds good.
The police arrested
the killer
responsible for the murder
of the 70-year-old lady.
She copied the MO by
that of Do Min Seok,
the Yeonju City
serial murderer
to throw the police off,
but the police noticed
the amateurism
and the impulsive
nature of the killing.
The investigation led to
collection of evidence
and the apprehension
of the suspect.
Meanwhile, the killer
being a social worker
is sending ripples
across the country.

So there's a video that

Reporter Kim Moo Jin has been
absent from work for two days.
Why didn't you

Could he perhaps

Let's break in for now.

EPISODE 2
My gosh.
Why are you already up?
Honey, I had a dream.
Was it a good one?
I dreamed of our
first encounter.
Is this sizzling rice
soup? It looks delicious.
- Do you want to taste it?
- Yes.
There.
How can it be this tasty?
The broth is cooked
with dried pollack.
- All done.
- Can I help you with anything?
Yes, can you bring out the
kkakdugi from the fridge?
Got it.
Is it this one?
No, it's not. Maybe
it's this one.
This is young radish kimchi.
It's all right, I'll get it.
Can you wake Eun Ha
and help her wash up?
Sure.
- Mom.
- Yes?
Who's taller? Me or Soo Young?
Who is Soo Young again?
Why do I even bother?
Let's blow-dry your hair.
It's too hot when you do it.
I'll ask Dad.
He's better at it.
I can do a good job too.
But you're not really
good at anything.
Don't be ridiculous. I'm
good at a lot of things.
- Dad, dry my hair for me.
- Where's your mom?
Mom said it was a secret.
Didn't you promise not
to keep secrets from me?
Oh, that's right.
Where did your mom go?
She went to clean up
your workshop for you.
What?
Ji Won?
Did you break your teacup?
The one you cherish.
Oh, I got careless yesterday.
Let me take that.
You'll cut yourself.
Anyway, let's eat breakfast
before it gets cold.
Who did you have tea with?
A customer.
Not just any customer though.
It was someone you
were happy to see.
What?
That's how you are. Cool
beverages for brief meetings
and hot beverages
for long chats.
Is that how I am?
I know you better than
you know yourself.
Anyway, who did you chat
for a while over tea?
You don't have many people
to share those moments with.
A friend.
What friend? Someone
who was at our wedding?
No, a friend from
middle school, actually.
We ran into one another.
Really? But you said you
were a loner as a boy.
Still, it was nice to see
him after all these years.
See?
It's why I've been telling you
to go to reunions and stuff.
I came down here to wipe
your furniture clean.
But I'm hungry. Can we
enjoy breakfast first?
What's with that gaze?
I must still be the prettiest
woman on earth to you.
Don't we have fine
weather today?
Look at you changing
the subject.
That's a huge change
considering that you were never
able to answer those questions.
Ma'am, it's me.
Ma'am?
Why is the door unlocked?
What on earth?
Why is her thumbnail missing?
It's awful.
The Yeonju City
serial murder case.
What?
That detail.
The missing thumbnails.
They're just like the victims of
the Yeonju City serial murder case.
In total, there
were seven victims.
They all had missing thumbnails.
Are you talking about the case
that Reporter Kim Moo Jin
- mentioned last time?
- Yes.
Why haven't I heard about this?
The culprit committed
suicide before he got caught,
so it became a closed case.
And people forgot about it
along with the World Cup.
You think someone imitated a case
that happened over 18 years ago?
- Why?
- Well
Mom! Where is my mom?
Mom! Mom!
Get off me, you jerks!
Who killed my mom?
Let me through!
Mom! Mom, I'm here!
Mom! Why did my mom die? Mom
Mom!
Hyun Su. Hyun Su, why
are you doing this?
Why are you doing this to me?
You're committing a crime.
You know that, right?
Do you remember?
18 years ago,
I was in your shoes,
and you were in mine.
Hold him!
- Let me go.
- Push him back.
- Hold him tight.
- I did.
- Let me go!
- Stay still!
SUMMER OF 2002
Hyun Su.
Did you think I'd let you get
away with doing this to me?
I should've twisted your neck.
Don't glare at me!
You'd better beat
me up properly.
Or else, I'll really break
your skull next time.
I bet you witnessed it.
You saw your dad committing
murder, didn't you?
Did you really not know?
Or are you just pretending
like you don't know anything?
If that's not it, did
you help him do it
just like what the rumors say?
Hey.
You're scared of me, aren't you?
The village foreman told me
that you're weird because
you take after your dad.
He says you'll turn out like him
if you don't learn your lesson.
What do you think?
Hyun Su.
If it hurts too much,
don't hesitate to tell me.
It'll definitely be more
entertaining for me.
Kim Moo Jin. Remember this.
Next time, it'll be your turn.
Throw it at him.
After 18 years,
it's finally your turn.
Hyun Su.
If it hurts too much,
don't hesitate to tell me.
Hey Do Do Hyun Su.
It'll definitely be more
entertaining for me.
We were young then.
Come on.
That's how kids grow up.
It wasn't just me.
I'm just kidding.
If I was really
going to kill you,
I would've covered the
floor with a plastic cover.
Hyun Su.
What do you want from me?
If it's money, I'll give
you as much as you want.
Right now,
I'm really scared
and frightened.
I can't feel my arms and legs.
Moo Jin.
I'm just like my dad.
What?
You can try all you want
to make me pity you,
but I won't feel a thing.
So don't cry.
You're making me want to cover
the floor with a plastic cover.
That's my cell phone.
From now on, don't
make me repeat myself.
Tell me your passcode.
The marks on her
back are violet.
That means she was on the
floor for 8 to 9 hours.
I don't see any ligature marks.
The rope was just
there for no reason.
She was stabbed and
cut eight times.
It seems like she died
due to excessive bleeding.
But I don't see any blood here.
Her ankle broke after she died.
Does that mean the culprit
broke it after killing her?
Yes, that's right.
It looks like her thumbnail gotten
rid of after her death as well.
Why do you think the culprit
only removed her thumbnail?
If it's to get rid of DNA or
any other kind of evidence,
the culprit should've
removed all her other nails.
This is similar to a case
that happened in the past.
What was it again?
The Yeonju City
serial murder case?
Yes.
The culprit's name was
Do Min Seok.
Do Min Seok collected
the victims' thumbnails.
They were like souvenirs to him.
What's this?
It's not blood.
Give me a cotton swab.
A serial murder copycat?
COPYCAT CRIME: A CRIME THAT COPIES
CRIMES FROM THE NEWS OR MOVIES
That stuff doesn't
exist in Korea.
But it's exactly the same as the
Yeonju City serial murder case.
The culprit's only using
that as camouflage.
She was obviously murdered
by an acquaintance.
Judging by the food we found
in the victim's stomach,
it looks like she was eating
an apple with the culprit
right before she was murdered.
You see, we found apple
peels in her room,
but there was no knife.
That means the culprit
killed her with that knife.
They were eating an apple together,
but something caused them to fight,
and the culprit got
angry and stabbed her.
That's what happened.
The culprit would've
brought a weapon
if the goal was to kill her.
Exactly.
Any CCTVs?
There's one in front of
her house, but it's broken.
Did she borrow or
lend any money?
We found out that she
lent about 20,000 dollars.
She lent money to the merchants
as she ran a gimbap restaurant
and collected money every day.
She was pretty rich.
According to the social worker
who first found her body,
she even donated money
to Gangsu Welfare Center.
It was quite a large
amount of money.
How much?
She donated about
370,000 dollars.
She was a major donor.
So the welfare center made sure
to take extra good care of her.
I can't believe this
happened to her.
What do you mean the
welfare center
took extra good care of her?
We just literally
took good care of her.
She was very old, and
she lived by herself.
So we were very
attentive to her.
She owned a building,
and it looks like she had at
least over a million dollars.
- What about her family?
- She had one son.
Darn it.
Detective Cha, why
are you so quiet?
Why Do Min Seok?
What do you mean?
He was never exposed to the
media like other murderers.
And it wasn't an unsolved case
like the murder case in Hwaseong,
so he's not very famous.
So why Do Min Seok?
How is that important right now?
Reporter Kim Moo Jin.
It's because of the
article he wrote.
Ms. Kang, I don't think I
can make it to work today.
What are you talking about?
You don't come by the
office daily anyway.
I will be there tomorrow though.
Are you kidding me?
You know very well how much
I loathe journalists
who only sit at their desks.
Just remember your deadline.
- Ms. Kang, I'm tied up
- I'm busy, so bye.
You work at a weekly magazine,
so the deadline will be Friday.
I have a whole three days until
someone reports you missing.
Hyun Su, hear me out, please.
- Go ahead.
- Right.
We're in the basement of Baek
Hee Seong's workshop, right?
- Keep going.
- You must be his employee.
Right.
Yesterday,
I agreed to meet Mr. Baek here.
Why? Well, his wife
introduced me to his workshop.
His wife
is a detective
in the Violent Crimes Unit.
Do you still not get it?
You'll be caught in no time.
Moo Jin.
Do you still not get it?
Don't you know why
you're locked down here?
How do you think I got away
with being a wanted
man for 18 years?
Wait. Are you
Baek Hee Seong?
You're Detective Cha's husband?
Why?
You said yesterday
that you had nothing to do
with the village foreman dying.
That's what you
told me yesterday!
Do you want to know the truth?
Once you know though,
you'll have to pay for it.
What?
Actually, I don't
think I want to know.
Moo Jin.
I know
who killed the village foreman.
No, I really don't want to know.
I bet you're curious.
No, Hyun Su, don't do this.
- The killer is
- No.
I won't hear this.
Don't tell me. I don't
want to hear who it is.
That's right.
It was me.
DO HYUN SU
Hyun Su,
this is wrong.
You can't do this.
Hand that over to me.
Hae Su.
You can't do this, Hyun Su.
I actually feel quite all right.
YEONJU CITY SERIAL MURDER CASE
CRIME SCENE PHOTOS
Found it. Ji Won, look.
It's the series Reporter Kim Moo
Jin has been publishing online.
He writes about the nation's
most heinous criminals.
His latest piece
was on Do Min Seok.
So you're saying that the
culprit read this post
and copied Do Min Seok's MO?
Listen to this.
"The following was done to
all of Do Min Seok's victims."
"A noose around the neck"
"and a permanent
injury to the ankle."
"What was most
disturbing though"
"was the fact that both
thumbnails had been removed."
What do you think? Aren't
the details similar?
The actual facts of
the serial murder
tell a completely
different story though.
It wasn't a noose that was
around the victims' necks.
In fact, it was the dog leash
from the brand Hound Dog.
The killer only used
one of a certain design,
but the police never revealed
any details regarding them,
so I can understand the mix-up.
However, if the killer is a
copycat, he or she would know
that Do Min Seok tied a dog
leash on the victims' necks.
The article described the
ankle injury as permanent,
but no bones were broken. The
Achilles tendon was ruptured.
In other words, this culprit doesn't
know about Do Min Seok at all.
What if the killer did
this to throw us off?
Then
Detective Choi was right.
The killer definitely
had a motive,
and this was to make it seem
like there isn't one. Right?
But why Do Min Seok though?
Well, it was the most recent
article in the series
and was posted online
for everyone to see.
KINDERGARTEN PRINCIPAL
- Yes?
- Ms. Cha,
I'm afraid you're
needed here right away.
POWER OFF
YOU HAVE 2 MISSED CALLS.
Hey, you!
Gosh.
Where's the ledger my mom kept?
What?
Come on. I'm in desperate
need of cash right now.
I don't know. How should
I know where it is?
Who else would know it?
My mom told you just
about everything.
You need to get
your life together.
Do you have any idea how
worried your mother was?
Don't get cheeky with me,
and hand over the ledger.
It's mine now anyway.
Mr. Ahn, your mother
only just passed away.
Where's your common decency?
What? How dare you
What do you think you're doing?
And in broad daylight?
Gambling?
Yes, she was deeply concerned
of his gambling habits.
Anyway, what brings
you by, Detective?
I'm investigating the people who
held a grudge against Ms. Jung.
I thought you could
give me some names.
I heard this might be
part of serial murder.
- But is that not it?
- The culprit just tried
to confuse us with
the investigation.
The culprit was very clumsy.
The person stabbed the
body way too many times.
Amateurs tend to stab
people here and there
because they don't know how to
kill someone in just one try.
- They make a huge mess of
- Please stop.
It's really hard for
me to listen to you.
I'm sorry.
Gosh.
Detective.
I don't know if this might help.
But she called me last night
and asked me some questions
regarding her will.
"Her will"?
She wrote a will,
and she wanted to know
how to get it notarized.
I told her I'll visit her the
next day and explain it to her.
She wrote a will?
It's natural for kids to fight
and get hurt in the process.
Soo Young, you should
apologize to Eun Ha.
And Eun Ha, tell her it's
okay so you guys can make up.
No, she's not
going to apologize.
What?
Soo Young hit Eun Ha
and made her nose bleed.
But Eun Ha touched something
that belonged to Soo Young.
I'll pay for her hospital bill.
But she's not
going to apologize.
I just wanted
to hold your doll because
it was really pretty.
Let's not turn this into a
fight between our families.
We should focus on making
sure the kids reconcile.
Ms. Cha.
You need to teach kids not
to steal when they're young.
Ma'am, I think you're
crossing the line.
You know what they say.
- "He who will steal an egg"
- "Will steal an ox."
What did you just say?
I heard what happened.
I apologize. It's my fault.
I'll educate her
properly from now on.
What? Oh, okay.
Eun Ha.
Apologize to Soo Young.
- Honey.
- Eun Ha.
Go on.
I'm sorry. It was my fault.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm sorry, Principal.
You just ignored
Eun Ha's feelings.
Why would you apologize?
You made us seem like fools.
But it's true that Eun Ha
touched Soo Young's doll first.
Who punch their friend
for touching their doll?
Do you seriously
understand that?
It's impossible to
understand everyone.
I just wanted to deal
with the issue first.
Deal with it? Do you really think
you dealt with this properly?
What about Eun Ha?
She's been quiet all along.
You're her favorite person.
Imagine how hurt she must be.
Ji Won.
Did I make a terrible mistake?
Don't ask. I'm upset.
I'm sorry for upsetting you.
It's my first time being a
dad, so I'm still struggling.
Okay. From now on,
I'll ask you first and do
what you tell me to do.
Sure, you will.
Just do what you can to
make Eun Ha feel better.
Don't worry about her.
Leave it to me.
Don't smile. It's annoying.
Hello, this is Cha Ji Won.
We got the test results
regarding the stuff that
was on Jung Mun Ok's thumb.
It turns out it was lipstick.
"Lipstick"?
But the victim wasn't
wearing any makeup.
Why aren't you eating?
This is egg tart, your favorite.
You're my favorite.
But
you like Soo Young more than me.
Gosh, that's nonsense.
You took her side.
I'm on your side.
And I'm going to raise
you to become a nice kid.
You have a good reputation now.
What's that?
It means no one will doubt you
when something bad happens.
But if you have a bad reputation,
people will doubt you first.
After what happened today,
Soo Young and her mother will
have a very bad reputation.
Who cares? I was the
only one who apologized.
And I was the only one
who got a nosebleed.
I feel so upset.
Don't be too upset.
I saw Soo Young earlier
crying on her way home
because she lost her doll.
Really?
It's because she didn't
take good care of her stuff.
Eun Ha, don't ever
be like her, okay?
Okay.
Okay then. You should eat now.
It's delicious.
Is it delicious?
Then would you like
one more today?
Yes.
Dad, you're my favorite person
in the whole wide world.
Right back at you.
LAST WILL AND TESTAMEN
"In return for
agreeing to hold"
"a memorial service
for me after I die,"
"I shall donate all the money I
have to Gangsu Welfare Center."
"Jung Mun Ok."
Is Is this for real?
She kept it in a box
deep inside her closet
along with her ledger.
Darn it! This makes no sense!
No.
I I bet that wench
made her write this.
That darn wench.
Were you at your mother's
house last night
at around 10:30pm?
Someone testified that she heard
you guys having an argument.
Are you doubting me right now?
When your mother told you
that she's going to donate all
her money to the welfare center,
it must've made you furious.
Do you have proof?
Do you have evidence to
prove that I killed her?
What time did you leave
her house last night?
What time did you leave?
Darn it.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Listen to me. If you want me to
come to the police station again,
bring me a warrant.
Okay?
Gosh, this is so annoying.
I never knew you were so slow
at understanding things, Ji Won.
That's what I want
to say to you.
This is Jung Mun Ok's will.
A will saying she's going
to donate all her money
to the welfare center
after she dies.
Look at the date. It
was written yesterday.
It was written on the
day she was murdered,
but you don't think
it's important?
Jae Seop, listen
to me for a second.
Why Do Min Seok?
That's just a camouflage
to hide the true motive
behind the murder.
No, the culprit had to
remove her thumbnail
because something was there.
And that was the
culprit's lipstick.
It's easy to detect a
person's DNA from lipstick.
But there was lipstick
on her finger as well.
Why didn't the culprit
cut off her finger?
Because the culprit
didn't see it.
Her blood hadn't oxidized
yet, so it wasn't visible.
She could've gotten that
lipstick mark from anyone.
You can just ignore that.
Try to focus on this.
Who do you think would get
furious after reading this will?
Isn't it so obvious?
The culprit could've
just stolen some stuff
and made it look
like a burglary case.
But why go through all the
trouble and follow Do Min Seok?
I'm so sick of that
darn Do Min Seok!
Hey, you.
Come over here.
What do you think?
- Me?
- Yes, you tell me.
Should we look at the
lipstick or the will?
So That is
I need to think about it.
Why you
Ji Won, stop being stubborn.
It was Ahn Jong Goo.
We have to catch him and
get evidence right away.
We have to investigate the
women who knew the victim
and find out whose
lipstick that was!
What's wrong with you?
This is the strongest
motive for murder!
Stop it!
JUNG MUN OK
What is it? What?
Hey.
The fingerprint on the will.
Is this
JUNG MUN OK
Jung Mun Ok probably
couldn't find a stamp pad
and used the killer's
lipstick for her fingerprint.
She probably wiped off
the lipstick on her thumb,
but it's hard to remove
it from under the nail.
Her killer was probably
bothered about that
and cut off her thumbnail.
And she set it up so that it
looked like Do Min Seok's MO.
With whom do you think Jung
Mun Ok wrote the will with?
Park Seo Young.
The social worker?
Since I focused on people who knew
the victim rather than the MO,
she led me to find the will.
She made me turn my attention
completely to Ahn Jong Goo.
She called me last night
and asked me some questions
regarding her will.
Let's investigate
Park Seo Young
as soon as we get the
forensics report for the will.
But
Why did she kill her?
What is Park Seo Young's
motive for murder?
How did it go?
It was lipstick.
Yes, Mother.
I have something
to finish today.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
I don't know what I
would've done without you.
You're taking care
of my daughter,
so I need to take care of yours.
We're in the same situation,
so don't feel so bad.
That's right. I gave her
egg tarts just before,
so you don't have to give her
another snack. See you later.
Okay.

CHEONGGYECHEON STREAM,
NAM SOON KIL, 5PM
Hyun Su, give me some water.
My throat is parched.
I may really die.
Please. Water.
Explain.
Why are you meeting
Nam Soon Kil?
This?
It's nothing.
I remember now.
He said he had a tip,
so I said I'd meet him.
A tip about what?
A tip about what?
Give me the water first.
I gave you one,
so you should give me
one. That's only fair.
Tell me. A tip about what?
You.
Why did he call you?
I wrote an article.
What article?
Just about your dad and you.
You know.
When are you meeting him?
Today.
Hyun Su.
Wouldn't it be bad for you
if I don't show
up to the meeting?
Park Seo Young.
I'm Detective Cha Ji Won
from Gangsu Police Station.
Do you need something
more from me?
We obtained female DNA
from Jung Mun Ok's will,
which we believe
belongs to the killer.
We are asking for
a DNA sample
from all the women
that she knew.
The sample will be destroyed
as soon as it is examined.
Will you cooperate?
I refuse.
Refusing to cooperate
may be held against
you in a court of law.
Do you have proof that
I killed that old woman?
No, not yet.
Her clothes look funny.
Let's see the video
of her leaving.
Okay.
It's different.
Not different, she
flipped it inside out.
You're right.
Because she got the
victim's blood on it.
That means Park Seo Young went
home immediately after killing her.
That means
The weapon and the victim's
nail are in that envelope.
NAM SOON KIL
REPORTER KIM MOO JIN
Hello, Mr. Kim. Are you here?
I'm busy on a case and
won't be able to make it.
Okay. I understand.
Can we do a brief
interview over the phone?
Yes, sure. That's fine.
What tip did you want to
give regarding Do Hyun Su?
Just a minute.
YEONJU CITY SERIAL MURDER
CASE, DO MIN SEOK AND HIS SON
You said Do Hyun Su disappeared
from the town in the summer of 2002.
I lived with him from
the fall of 2002
to the summer of 2005.
We were both deliverymen.
And?
I thought something must
have happened in his past
but I never imagined he
would've murdered someone.
I would've reported
him if I knew.
I had no idea that his father
was a serial killer either.
He's Do Min Seok's son
No wonder.
"No wonder"?
He was weird. He wasn't normal.
I watched a movie with him once,
and he asked at which
scenes he should laugh
and be sad.
You knew Do Hyun
Su for three years.
Is that all?
Pardon?
Okay. Thank you for the tip.
Good day.
Wait, no. Don't hang up.
Hyun Su
has been threatening me.
What?
It's driving me crazy. Please.
Please protect me.
Nothing?
No. There's no video
of her leaving
after she came home.
Shouldn't we search her place?
Before she gets rid
of the evidence.
She must have known she
was being caught on camera.
She wouldn't have brought the
evidence home, knowing that.
I'm positive she went out.
I saw a shooting
star last night.
I feel like she
was saying goodbye.
Please move. You're
interfering with my work.
I'm shocked, to be honest.
You're not upset at all.
Because I did nothing wrong.
Hello?
It's me.
- I found it.
- Okay.
Park Seo Young.
From this moment on,
you're a suspect of murder.
You are under arrest for
the murder of Jung Mun Ok.
May I fix my makeup first?
- What?
- I don't go around like this.
I didn't wear makeup today
to pretend to be sad.
I read somewhere that your
sentence varies by your appearance.
Go ahead.
Why did you kill Jung Mun Ok?
There were too many stairs.
JUNG MUN OK
I hate complicated things,
so you take care of
the notarization,
lawyer, all of that stuff.
Okay.
I want nothing else now.
Just come here every day,
talk to me, and keep me
company like a granddaughter.
That's all I want. I
don't need anything else.
Every day?
Gosh.
Seo Young. Scratch
my back for me.
It feels the best when
you scratch my back.
Major donors are like
deities to our center.
The thought of climbing
those stairs
every single day until
that old woman died
made me livid.
I'm always thankful
for you, Seo Young.
My pleasure.
This is the police.
She's dead!
Please help.
Hey.
How could you look at
me like I'm some insect?
I'm hurt.
How could you kill a person
for something like that?
They say about three percent
of the people are like me.
Who knows?
There may be one near you too.
From a month ago,
I get a call from
a payphone at 4am.
Did that person say
he was Do Hyun Su?
Who are you?
Tell me who you are!
Are you happy?
Hyun Su?
I've been waiting for your life
to become the happiest ever.
You
You're Do Hyun Su, right?
I'm going to do what I can now.
He's the only person
who'd do that to me.
Why is that?
I was young and
blinded by greed.
So I wronged him.
Are you sure you lost it here?
Yes, I am.
I had my wallet when I went up.
It's not here. I can't find it.
I'll lend you money if you
need, so let's go down.
What are you doing?
I need your money.
I want to live well too.
Hyun Su will get
revenge on me for sure.
Suspect someone else.
Do Hyun Su died.
What? Are you positive?
Yes. So you should
forget all about him.
That's such a relief.
A relief?
He was on the run after
killing someone anyway.
He shouldn't be alive.
It's better for certain people
to die. Don't you agree?
Right.
It's better for
certain people to die.
What a shame.
I really hated your eyes.
I give up.
Arrest me.
It's okay. It's fine.
The police can't do this!
Who would believe someone like
you who killed the lady
because you didn't
want to climb stairs?
So what?
A suspect could be killed
during a physical altercation
with a police officer.
Don't you agree?
Are you insane?
Does fooling and hurting
those weaker than you
make you feel superior?
I confessed to the crime.
I'll definitely report this!
I'll watch and remember
just how pathetic
your last moments will be.
The carotid artery, 12 seconds.
The subclavian
artery, 3.5 seconds.
I'll make sure it
ends within a minute.
So take your pick.
Which one will it be?
Don't.
Don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.
I'm only joking. How can a
police officer take a life?
I notified you of
the arrest earlier.
Since you're a human
before the law,
you have the right to an attorney
and the right to explain yourself.
You may appeal to the
terms of your arrest.
Always take them
after your meal.
- Sure. Thank you.
- Take care.
Goodness, it's your son.
Hee Seong, what brings
you by unannounced?
No reason. I just
missed you, that's all.
Goodness.
It sure is annoying
not to have a son.
- Have a safe trip home.
- Sure.
She may seem happy and bright,
but she takes medicine
for her depression.
Isn't it unprofessional to reveal
other people's medical issues?
Their misfortune brings me joy.
If I can't be like others,
I'd rather they be like me.
So what's the occasion?
You're never one
to just visit me.
I need some sleeping pills.
Honey!
What happened to your face?
I accidentally cut
myself with paper.
Gosh, I love rain.
Look at you all excited.
Should a cop enjoy
the rain though?
Doesn't it wash away evidence?
But it's romantic.
I want to eat
something delicious.
Really? What would you like?
Savory pancakes?
Savory pancakes on a
rainy day? Sounds good.
The police arrested
the killer
responsible for the murder
of the 70-year-old lady.
She copied the MO by
that of Do Min Seok,
the Yeonju City
serial murderer
to throw the police off,
but the police noticed
the amateurism
and the impulsive
nature of the killing.
The investigation led to
collection of evidence
and the apprehension
of the suspect.
Meanwhile, the killer
being a social worker
is sending ripples
across the country.

I have confirmation of

Reporter Kim Moo Jin?
So there's a video that

of killings.
Reporter Kim Moo Jin has been
absent from work for two days.
Why didn't you
report him missing?
Could he perhaps
be in confinement?
Let's break in for now.
You dare deceive me?
Someone was just here.
Or maybe he still is.
