Hello Monster (2015) s01e02 Episode Script
Hello, Monster
1
(Remember You)
Dad, did you call me?
(Episode 2)
Hyun, come and sit here.
From now on,
you'll be staying here.
People think that you went to study abroad.
They will think that you're now not at home.
That you're not in Korea.
This is the only method that I could think of at the moment.
I want to protect you from the world,
and protect the world from you.
Do your studies with me, okay?
Start all over again with me.
How this world is, how a normal person lives his life.
We'll start from things like that.
How about your dad?
Does he believe you?
There are children who were born lovely.
And there are also children who became lovely
because someone kept saying, "How lovely!" to them.
There are people who were born stupid.
And there are people who became stupid
because someone called them stupid.
And also,
there are children who were born a monster.
And there are people who became a monster
because someone perceived them as monsters
and called them a monster.
What does your dad call you?
How does he perceive you?
Are you not curious about what I talked about with that man?
Are you not curious about what promise I made with him?
Dad, you should have asked me
before calling me a monster!
Before you're locking me up in a place like this,
you should have asked me!
I'm not perceiving you in that way.
I'm doing this to protect you.
No.
I'm doing this to raise you well.
No.
Is it even necessary?
This is all a part of reformation.
If we let it off once, there's going to be a second or third time.
Hyun, are you in there?
Hyun, let's play together.
Hyun.
I was worried that you were not going to come today.
I don't know if you've finally gone insane,
but as much as you've waited
- What is that? - What is that?
- Throw that away! - Throw it away quickly!
Throw it away quickly!
What's wrong with you?
I can't feel his pulse.
Is he dead?
I don't know.
It seems like he's still breathing, but I can't feel his pulse!
His pulse stopped!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Hey. You two should get in too.
- Okay. - Okay.
He's not dead, right?
There's no way he could be dead just because he scraped his neck.
There isn't a lot of bleeding either.
Your pulse on the artery is really not beating.
How did you do that?
This is one of my secrets.
Since the day I was born, it was impossible to detect this pulse.
It can be seen as an anatomical variation.
I see. That's really cool.
How about other secrets?
Unlike this one, I do have a really big secret.
You tell me first. It's your turn now.
Tell me.
What's your secret?
Have a cup of tea before you go.
Where is Hyun?
No one will be able to see him again.
Dad!
What's going on?
A bad guy is here to kill us.
Dad!
Dad!
On this day, I lost my dad.
And my younger brother, Min, disappeared.
Min!
Min! Where are you?
Min!
A hole appeared in my memory.
You don't remember anything?
No, I don't.
Not about this incident.
You don't remember anything that happened before that as well?
I don't know whether this is a temporary phenomenon,
or your memory will never come back.
But one thing that I can be sure of
is that you don't have to recover your memories.
Let's leave it natural. Okay?
The truth is, there is something I remember.
I think my son is a monster.
What kind of a child was I,
and what was it that I had done
for my dad to think of me as a monster?
That's right.
What kind of a child was I?
I wanted to meet a person who knew me back then.
But when I thought of it, there was only one person.
What kind of conversations did we have back then?
Some parts were retained, some parts were erased,
and some parts were distorted.
That's how memories are like.
Lastly, to celebrate the release of the Korean version of your book,
please say something to your Korean readers.
Before that, can I talk about something personal?
But only if you'll publish it.
I'll make sure to publish it.
There's this person who first told me about
the concept of the critical period mentioned in the book.
All animals have this thing called a critical period.
The time when their brains start to grow and become fully developed.
And I call that the soul-shaping period.
If that person is alive, I would like to meet him again.
There is a conversation that we need to have.
Is it, by any chance, your first love?
That's why I sent him a message.
Since I can't find him,
I should ask him to come find me first.
Perhaps, the person who restarted the stagnated story
is not him,
but me.
(Hello, Monster)
I'm so tired.
- Hey, you girl! - You scared me!
Is this a house or a trash dump?
- Did you bring side dishes? - Yes.
I love you, Aunt.
You know that I love you very much, right?
But you only brought kimchi? I'm so disappointed.
You know it's my specialty to give something and take it back, right?
That's an unrighteous specialty.
It looks delicious.
- Put it inside the fridge. - Okay.
Are you leaving?
I'm a busy person.
That guy appeared.
That guy? Who?
That guy. Lee Hyun.
Lee Hyun?
That guy whom you were stalking?
It sounds bad when you said it like that.
Let me correct it.
It's a guy that I tracked down and observed.
Did he recognize you?
Recognize, my foot!
I've never regretted
that I neglected my language skills this much before.
Because of my poor vocabulary,
I can't even express his rudeness.
I think I know how you feel.
It's just like how I can't express how dirty your house is.
It's the same feeling, right?
That's right.
So? What are you going to do?
What else can I do?
I have to observe him for now.
Why don't you be honest and just tell him?
How can I when I don't even know if he's a friend or an enemy?
There's only one thing that I can be certain of.
That he's my only connecting link to Lee Joon Young.
You're still not giving up about Lee Joon Young?
I'm so tired! I'm going to die.
I'm Lee Joong Min.
Thank you for agreeing to the interview, Lee Joon Young.
The first meeting of Dad and Lee Joon Young.
You don't have to be so nervous.
I won't kill you here, Professor.
You killed him in the end though.
By the way, Lee Joon Young.
Where are you right now?
We're on patrol.
Wait. Isn't he this person?
As you can see, aside from the bruise on the face,
the drug test results and method of murder match exactly
with the victim in the Bangbae-dong case.
You went to the crime scene to investigate, right?
Did you feel anything unusual there?
Something like a signature.
Signature?
Didn't I tell you earlier?
The jerk that trespassed into the crime scene
Just a moment.
Hello, I'm Cha Ji An.
What?
He appeared?
Thank you.
I'll get going.
This shameless jerk showed up at the Bangbae-dong crime scene this time.
I caught you!
Tell me more about that shameless jerk next time.
It sounds interesting.
Contact me when your blood pressure gets lower.
If you hear about this person,
your blood pressure will shoot up.
Work hard.
This is my signature.
I'll go with this, Hyun.
It's nice.
It's nice.
Could Min really still be alive?
If not, could it be the work
of someone who knows Min or knows about our story?
A nail that was pounded in recently.
There are no areas on the wallpaper that have faded.
The furniture and the interior design don't match
the house owner's taste and the painting.
Then they were probably chosen by someone else recently,
or were received as a gift.
A gift from the perpetrator?
I totally caught you today.
Where is he?
By the way, there must be a reason why he came to the crime scene.
What was he looking for?
Now that I'm looking at it, I think I've seen this somewhere else.
So, with just this one picture,
you want me to find out who the painter is?
Didn't you say you are a big shot in the art world?
Yes, I did say that, but
Hey, this is Korea.
Even though we were in the same class,
and we did speak informally in America,
I'm still older than you.
Korea is an age-centered society
and there's this thing called honorifics.
- Stop talking down to me. - There is a possibility
that the artist is anonymous.
In which case, at least find out the distribution channel,
the owning gallery and the buyer.
Fine, just speak in Korean.
That's much better.
- It's too late. - What?
By now, either they should have found the signature,
or the third murder should have occurred.
Why has nothing happened?
Murder? Are you going after murder cases here too?
I'm asking for your cooperation, Professor.
Are you satisfied now?
Should I have cooperated?
Right. You know Jung Soo Young, right?
He is a professor in this university.
He heard that you came back to Korea,
so he asked if you could give a special lecture.
So I was like, "There's no way he'll do it."
Fine, I'll do it.
Fine?
There are times when you're fine?
Tell him he was lucky.
I agreed to do it
because I regretted not agreeing to cooperate.
What are we doing here?
I thought I was having a conversation with you,
but I have no idea what we were conversing about.
Have we ever been able to communicate?
What?
Contact me when you found it.
Like I told you, looking for a person with just one picture
I remember you owing me a lot of favors.
I remember that you owe me a lot of favors.
You should repay them when you have the chance.
Let's use honorifics!
With the first and second victims,
he used two different unregistered phones.
He blocked the cell signal to the phones after the incidents,
so it's impossible to track them down.
We're investigating the people around the victim,
but there's no one we can identify as the suspects.
Same goes for the forensic results.
I think he's someone who's really familiar with forensic science.
Have we not received an answer yet
on that request for cooperation?
Your honey trap didn't work?
I haven't used it yet.
What do you think is happening in our brain when we commit a crime?
Let's take an example, murders for insurance money,
which is also common in Korea.
Because of business failure and gambling,
the husband needs money for the loan guarantee.
He decides to kill his wife.
He takes out insurance on his wife
and wonders what the perfect method of murder would be.
After searching the Internet and thinking about it,
he then makes a perfect plan.
Now, he just needs to put it into action.
This is what the amygdala says,
"It's going to be dangerous, but it's okay."
"My plan is perfect, so I don't have to be worried."
Then the nucleus accumbens responds,
"If I have that money, I can pay back the debts
and my life will all work out."
Then what do you think the anterior cingulate cortex would say?
Hey.
Goodness!
Gosh! Stop!
Move!
Move out of the way!
My gosh!
- The answer is? - What?
What do you think the anterior cingulate cortex would say?
Didn't you roll this long way
to actively answer the question?
I think the anterior cingulate cortex
would agree that it was good.
Wrong. It disagrees.
However, it just timidly disagrees,
worried about getting caught.
Lastly, the orbitofrontal cortex takes over.
"Both opinions are valid, but I'll take this side."
Instead of listening to the voice of the weaker conscience,
it listens more to the voice with a stronger will.
Now, the rationalization of the brain is over.
Next, the execution of the crime.
Death.
From the perspective of neurophysiology,
central nerve controlling repression and the neurons inside it
You jerk are seriously
could not stop the desire for violence.
I did attend your lecture without permission,
but how could you punish me for the whole lecture?
An educator should have an open mind.
You shouldn't be doing that.
As an officer who lives on country's tax,
instead of chasing the criminals,
you're out here leisurely following me around.
Is it really okay to do so?
I wasn't following you.
I coincidentally heard that you are giving a special lecture
and I coincidentally happened to have some business to do here
Do you think I would have?
Of course, I was following you.
Why?
Because I need your cooperation on the investigation.
- Is that all? - What if it's not all?
I think you have an ulterior motive.
What do you mean?
I remember
You remember?
No, I still don't.
Your appearance leaves a vague impression.
I can't believe there is such a person like him.
That's enough.
Why don't you just cooperate?
Only if you reveal your identity first.
What do you mean identity? You're exaggerating.
Okay.
Fine. So my identity is
I'm a fan! Your fan.
My what?
You wrote books and had done some interviews, didn't you?
So I became your fan after reading them.
Don't be like this.
Just think of it as a fan service and cooperate, okay?
- I don't want to. - Don't be like this and just do it.
No.
Why don't you think about it for at least three seconds?
- No! - Seriously.
He'll end up doing it anyway. Why does he have to be so stubborn?
Here.
I know you secretly went to Bangbae-dong crime scene.
Did you find anything?
It was a planned murder.
Don't we all know that?
Both Bangbae-dong and Dohwa-dong had purple flowers at the scenes.
I've searched all florists around this area,
but I couldn't find the person who bought this flower.
You're here.
Purple sometimes is used to express sadness or death.
The woman probably didn't know what door
she had just opened at the moment.
It comes out in "Rain Shower" by Hwang Sun Won as well.
The dead girl liked purple or something like that.
I believe that is originated from the Greek mythology.
The god of the sun, Apollo, and the god of west wind, Zephyrus,
were in love with Hyacinthus at the same time.
And he died because of their jealousy.
From the place impregnated with his blood,
a purple flower was bloomed.
Which is this flower, Hyacinths.
Whether it is in mythology, or in the past, or even now,
women die because of men.
Hyacinthus was a guy. A pretty boy.
Is that so?
I guess men are just like that, even among themselves as well.
Anyway
In conclusion, the perpetrator, or rather, I,
did not commit the murder accidentally.
But it was intentional,
"I come here with the purpose of killing you."
And then?
What did you discover next?
- Nothing. - Nothing?
We can't patternize with just two bodies.
Has the third case not taken place yet?
Not yet.
Fortunately.
Based on the cycle, there should have been
another crime taking place within a few days.
Why is it not happening?
Are you waiting for another person to die?
The more the bodies, the more the information we get.
What a monster.
I have a hypothesis.
What is it?
It's only a hypothesis though.
I totally like hypotheses.
When I went to the crime scene in Dohwa-dong
You mean when you trespassed into it.
There's something I couldn't understand.
The forensic results showed that the cause of death
of the first victim was suffocation.
Other than the ligature mark, there was no other mark on the body.
The results also suggested that
some kind of narcotic drug was injected by the perpetrator.
But why? Why would he use this method to kill her?
Psycho? Because he is a pervert?
My conclusion is that the perpetrator didn't want
to leave any marks on the body.
He wanted to own a blemish-free body.
But
Both victims died from suffocation with ligature marks.
But he used violence on the second victim in Dohwa-dong.
Why?
He couldn't repress his anger at that moment.
Almost same height, weight, and similar facial features and moods.
She probably
had a haircut recently.
No way.
He used violence because of her hair?
Ted Bundy murdered women who looked similar
to his fiancée who had dumped him.
This perpetrator probably has a role model as well.
The perpetrator may be killing many people,
but in his mind,
he's repeatedly killing the same person.
This is the signature from Bangbae-dong crime scene.
It reveals the coordinate of the second crime scene.
In short, it's a murder notice.
Like the Zodiac killer, he's challenging us to solve it.
It shows his confidence and guts,
and also a mockery to the investigative authority.
Also, the perpetrator's mockery was precise.
You didn't even know these were codes, let alone solve it.
No one.
What are these codes made of?
That's
It's called a semaphore. It was a type of signal used by sailors.
The peace sign originated from this,
and it was also used by the Beatles as their album cover.
He twisted it a couple of times and made those codes using this,
but it's actually a simple code.
If you decode it based on this,
you get N37.541506, which is the latitude.
The next line starts with E, so it indicates the east longitude,
which is
This is when you use the saying
that your head is just a decoration.
What a jerk.
There should be a similar message in the second crime scene.
It could be a similar or a completely different code.
We need to find that.
And also
The most important thing is,
where did the perpetrator find women who match his preferences?
Picking them up on the streets or at the clubs?
Is it not?
We need to find common places where
both the first and second victims had been registered in.
For example, the hospital, spa, or matrimonial agency.
In order to find women with similar characteristics in a short time,
there's a high probability that he might have used such methods.
And also
Are there any past records?
Past records? Past records
There may be unsolved cases!
It's spinning as little as the size of eye gunk.
What do you mean?
Your brain.
Really?
Why did I smile?
What?
I'm sorry.
We also need to check to see if there are any past records
involving a similar pattern of the characteristics of victims.
If we're lucky,
we could find the mistakes made by the perpetrator
from being inexperienced in the past records we found.
Okay, that makes sense.
I don't really want to listen to that jerk,
but let's get into action.
Then, Cha Ji An should look for the signature,
Eun Bok should find the list of the victims' registered places,
and Seung Joo should track down the unsolved cases.
As for you, Myung Woo, continue to track
unregistered phones and vehicles, as well as eyewitnesses' testimony.
I really don't want to listen to that jerk.
Hurry and get moving.
This is crazy.
Seems like something good happened in the restroom.
Over there, behind us.
I heard them on my way here.
They were arguing about whether you and I are mom and son,
or a couple, with the older woman having an affair with a younger man.
I must still look fine.
Should I go tell them? That we are mom and son.
Even if we're not related by blood, it's true that you're my son.
Since they already think of us like that,
why don't we make it seem more convincing, Ms. Hyun Ji Soo?
You're so arrogant, Lee Hyun.
What's your reason?
It's the middle of the semester,
but you suddenly came back to Korea without finishing your lectures.
And what's this about assisting the investigation?
I told you I came back because I received an email.
So, about that email
Lee Young Joon's case file.
The investigation report of when my dad passed away.
I would like to see it.
Why all of the sudden?
You weren't once curious about it before.
Is that so?
Did you get your memories back?
Not yet.
They're still in bits and pieces.
I just think it's my duty as a son and an old brother
to be curious about it at least once.
Do you think that these cases regarding these women
are related to Lee Joon Young?
That's why you came back?
No, it's just that
I want to see it as something different.
There's no file.
There isn't one?
That's how the police system was like.
It's only three to four years since an evidence room was formed.
There was no way there would be files before that.
I see.
Well, there's nothing I can do.
The investigation report of when my dad passed away.
I would like to see it.
(Lee Joong Min's death case in 1996)
This case shall be buried forever.
Don't leak out anything about it.
(Planning Officer, Hyun Ji Soo)
(Lee Joong Min's death case in 1996)
Let's call it a day.
I can't hear you.
Look.
It finally turned out the way you wanted it to be.
I slept for a whole hour.
Goodness.
I must be crazy.
The window.
The window was open.
Either the forensic team opened it while they were investigating,
or it was already open during the crime.
Anyway,
if the wind had been blowing
- Yes. - I found it!
Both the victims were members of a hotel's spa.
Really?
So what that person said was right.
I'm starting to like him.
I don't care if you want to like him.
We should have a meeting before we get moving.
If the perpetrator is someone who works at the spa,
he could hide away.
You've worked hard, Min Seung Joo.
Excuse me.
I came to look for evidence to catch the killer who killed you,
so please don't misunderstand and help me.
I found the signature!
I called you a lot of time, but you didn't answer, so
I told you how to decode it.
It's weird, that's why.
What's weird about it?
I sent it to the team and they did solve it, but
Why is it Daebu Island?
He said something about yachts.
Could it possibly be a yacht murder this time?
Who knows?
It's weird, isn't it?
He committed the crime in Seoul,
then suddenly went to the ocean?
I thought you should look at it since you have a big brain capacity.
Phone.
(Degree, Base 10 Decimal Notation)
(Degree, Minutes, Seconds, Base 60 Decimal Notation)
A bunch of idiots.
What's changed is only the coordinate format
from decimal degrees to degrees, minutes, and seconds.
What degrees, minutes, and seconds?
Report back to me as soon as you find the perpetrator.
Anyways, thank you!
Daebang-dong?
He decoded it in degrees, minutes, and seconds or something like that,
which turned out to be Daebang-dong.
My goodness. We almost left for Daebu Island.
I really like him!
Hey.
But we need the list to compare the location. What do we do?
Even if a staff at the spa is involved in this,
don't you think stopping the third attack should come first?
Hello.
- How can I help you? - Well
Can I talk to the person in charge?
But revealing the customer information
Should I bring the warrant and the media to cause a commotion?
Myung Woo.
We just need to know the name of the customer
who resides at a specific address.
There is this Ha Yoon Ji who fits the professor's profile.
And she's on leave starting today.
Both victims from Bangbae-dong case and Dohwa-dong case
were on their day off before they were killed.
Send me her phone number. I'll try to contact her.
Then I'll see you all at the scene.
Okay.
Come on, pick up the phone.
Pick up the phone, please.
It smells good. Thank you.
Pick up the phone, please.
Pick up the phone, please.
Pick up the phone, please.
Please pick up the phone.
Hello?
Is this Ms. Ha Yoon Ji?
Yes, I am. Who is this?
I have a favor to ask.
This might sound weird,
but please act naturally as if you're on the phone with a friend.
This is Inspector Cha Ji An from the police department.
What's going on?
You are not alone now, right?
Have you, by any chance, received purple flowers?
No way.
Yes.
Okay, I got it.
I'll do that for now.
Okay.
My room was dark.
The lights couldn't be turned on.
But my family liked to visit my room.
One day, something happened.
In my room, my dad
Hyun.
Do you still remember?
That I'm curious to know what kind of adult you'll become.
I'm curious to know
what kind of adult you'll become.
I want to see.
By the time you hear this,
I'll be there to keep my promise to you.
Who knows? Maybe I'm already by your side.
(Remember You)
A serial killer?
It's too big of a scale.
If possible, I'd like to get rid of him with my own hands.
Shall we do that?
- What? - My dad is dead.
Actually, the cause of my dad's death
Makes you feel superior.
"Just acknowledge me, say that I'm good."
Should I kill him for you?
- You're here. - "You're here?"
Don't show your face in front of me
as you please anymore.
Let's talk.
Turn your head. I get annoyed when I see your face.
Wait! Seriously.
Cha Ji An.
That woman.
Who
are you?
(Remember You)
Dad, did you call me?
(Episode 2)
Hyun, come and sit here.
From now on,
you'll be staying here.
People think that you went to study abroad.
They will think that you're now not at home.
That you're not in Korea.
This is the only method that I could think of at the moment.
I want to protect you from the world,
and protect the world from you.
Do your studies with me, okay?
Start all over again with me.
How this world is, how a normal person lives his life.
We'll start from things like that.
How about your dad?
Does he believe you?
There are children who were born lovely.
And there are also children who became lovely
because someone kept saying, "How lovely!" to them.
There are people who were born stupid.
And there are people who became stupid
because someone called them stupid.
And also,
there are children who were born a monster.
And there are people who became a monster
because someone perceived them as monsters
and called them a monster.
What does your dad call you?
How does he perceive you?
Are you not curious about what I talked about with that man?
Are you not curious about what promise I made with him?
Dad, you should have asked me
before calling me a monster!
Before you're locking me up in a place like this,
you should have asked me!
I'm not perceiving you in that way.
I'm doing this to protect you.
No.
I'm doing this to raise you well.
No.
Is it even necessary?
This is all a part of reformation.
If we let it off once, there's going to be a second or third time.
Hyun, are you in there?
Hyun, let's play together.
Hyun.
I was worried that you were not going to come today.
I don't know if you've finally gone insane,
but as much as you've waited
- What is that? - What is that?
- Throw that away! - Throw it away quickly!
Throw it away quickly!
What's wrong with you?
I can't feel his pulse.
Is he dead?
I don't know.
It seems like he's still breathing, but I can't feel his pulse!
His pulse stopped!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Hey. You two should get in too.
- Okay. - Okay.
He's not dead, right?
There's no way he could be dead just because he scraped his neck.
There isn't a lot of bleeding either.
Your pulse on the artery is really not beating.
How did you do that?
This is one of my secrets.
Since the day I was born, it was impossible to detect this pulse.
It can be seen as an anatomical variation.
I see. That's really cool.
How about other secrets?
Unlike this one, I do have a really big secret.
You tell me first. It's your turn now.
Tell me.
What's your secret?
Have a cup of tea before you go.
Where is Hyun?
No one will be able to see him again.
Dad!
What's going on?
A bad guy is here to kill us.
Dad!
Dad!
On this day, I lost my dad.
And my younger brother, Min, disappeared.
Min!
Min! Where are you?
Min!
A hole appeared in my memory.
You don't remember anything?
No, I don't.
Not about this incident.
You don't remember anything that happened before that as well?
I don't know whether this is a temporary phenomenon,
or your memory will never come back.
But one thing that I can be sure of
is that you don't have to recover your memories.
Let's leave it natural. Okay?
The truth is, there is something I remember.
I think my son is a monster.
What kind of a child was I,
and what was it that I had done
for my dad to think of me as a monster?
That's right.
What kind of a child was I?
I wanted to meet a person who knew me back then.
But when I thought of it, there was only one person.
What kind of conversations did we have back then?
Some parts were retained, some parts were erased,
and some parts were distorted.
That's how memories are like.
Lastly, to celebrate the release of the Korean version of your book,
please say something to your Korean readers.
Before that, can I talk about something personal?
But only if you'll publish it.
I'll make sure to publish it.
There's this person who first told me about
the concept of the critical period mentioned in the book.
All animals have this thing called a critical period.
The time when their brains start to grow and become fully developed.
And I call that the soul-shaping period.
If that person is alive, I would like to meet him again.
There is a conversation that we need to have.
Is it, by any chance, your first love?
That's why I sent him a message.
Since I can't find him,
I should ask him to come find me first.
Perhaps, the person who restarted the stagnated story
is not him,
but me.
(Hello, Monster)
I'm so tired.
- Hey, you girl! - You scared me!
Is this a house or a trash dump?
- Did you bring side dishes? - Yes.
I love you, Aunt.
You know that I love you very much, right?
But you only brought kimchi? I'm so disappointed.
You know it's my specialty to give something and take it back, right?
That's an unrighteous specialty.
It looks delicious.
- Put it inside the fridge. - Okay.
Are you leaving?
I'm a busy person.
That guy appeared.
That guy? Who?
That guy. Lee Hyun.
Lee Hyun?
That guy whom you were stalking?
It sounds bad when you said it like that.
Let me correct it.
It's a guy that I tracked down and observed.
Did he recognize you?
Recognize, my foot!
I've never regretted
that I neglected my language skills this much before.
Because of my poor vocabulary,
I can't even express his rudeness.
I think I know how you feel.
It's just like how I can't express how dirty your house is.
It's the same feeling, right?
That's right.
So? What are you going to do?
What else can I do?
I have to observe him for now.
Why don't you be honest and just tell him?
How can I when I don't even know if he's a friend or an enemy?
There's only one thing that I can be certain of.
That he's my only connecting link to Lee Joon Young.
You're still not giving up about Lee Joon Young?
I'm so tired! I'm going to die.
I'm Lee Joong Min.
Thank you for agreeing to the interview, Lee Joon Young.
The first meeting of Dad and Lee Joon Young.
You don't have to be so nervous.
I won't kill you here, Professor.
You killed him in the end though.
By the way, Lee Joon Young.
Where are you right now?
We're on patrol.
Wait. Isn't he this person?
As you can see, aside from the bruise on the face,
the drug test results and method of murder match exactly
with the victim in the Bangbae-dong case.
You went to the crime scene to investigate, right?
Did you feel anything unusual there?
Something like a signature.
Signature?
Didn't I tell you earlier?
The jerk that trespassed into the crime scene
Just a moment.
Hello, I'm Cha Ji An.
What?
He appeared?
Thank you.
I'll get going.
This shameless jerk showed up at the Bangbae-dong crime scene this time.
I caught you!
Tell me more about that shameless jerk next time.
It sounds interesting.
Contact me when your blood pressure gets lower.
If you hear about this person,
your blood pressure will shoot up.
Work hard.
This is my signature.
I'll go with this, Hyun.
It's nice.
It's nice.
Could Min really still be alive?
If not, could it be the work
of someone who knows Min or knows about our story?
A nail that was pounded in recently.
There are no areas on the wallpaper that have faded.
The furniture and the interior design don't match
the house owner's taste and the painting.
Then they were probably chosen by someone else recently,
or were received as a gift.
A gift from the perpetrator?
I totally caught you today.
Where is he?
By the way, there must be a reason why he came to the crime scene.
What was he looking for?
Now that I'm looking at it, I think I've seen this somewhere else.
So, with just this one picture,
you want me to find out who the painter is?
Didn't you say you are a big shot in the art world?
Yes, I did say that, but
Hey, this is Korea.
Even though we were in the same class,
and we did speak informally in America,
I'm still older than you.
Korea is an age-centered society
and there's this thing called honorifics.
- Stop talking down to me. - There is a possibility
that the artist is anonymous.
In which case, at least find out the distribution channel,
the owning gallery and the buyer.
Fine, just speak in Korean.
That's much better.
- It's too late. - What?
By now, either they should have found the signature,
or the third murder should have occurred.
Why has nothing happened?
Murder? Are you going after murder cases here too?
I'm asking for your cooperation, Professor.
Are you satisfied now?
Should I have cooperated?
Right. You know Jung Soo Young, right?
He is a professor in this university.
He heard that you came back to Korea,
so he asked if you could give a special lecture.
So I was like, "There's no way he'll do it."
Fine, I'll do it.
Fine?
There are times when you're fine?
Tell him he was lucky.
I agreed to do it
because I regretted not agreeing to cooperate.
What are we doing here?
I thought I was having a conversation with you,
but I have no idea what we were conversing about.
Have we ever been able to communicate?
What?
Contact me when you found it.
Like I told you, looking for a person with just one picture
I remember you owing me a lot of favors.
I remember that you owe me a lot of favors.
You should repay them when you have the chance.
Let's use honorifics!
With the first and second victims,
he used two different unregistered phones.
He blocked the cell signal to the phones after the incidents,
so it's impossible to track them down.
We're investigating the people around the victim,
but there's no one we can identify as the suspects.
Same goes for the forensic results.
I think he's someone who's really familiar with forensic science.
Have we not received an answer yet
on that request for cooperation?
Your honey trap didn't work?
I haven't used it yet.
What do you think is happening in our brain when we commit a crime?
Let's take an example, murders for insurance money,
which is also common in Korea.
Because of business failure and gambling,
the husband needs money for the loan guarantee.
He decides to kill his wife.
He takes out insurance on his wife
and wonders what the perfect method of murder would be.
After searching the Internet and thinking about it,
he then makes a perfect plan.
Now, he just needs to put it into action.
This is what the amygdala says,
"It's going to be dangerous, but it's okay."
"My plan is perfect, so I don't have to be worried."
Then the nucleus accumbens responds,
"If I have that money, I can pay back the debts
and my life will all work out."
Then what do you think the anterior cingulate cortex would say?
Hey.
Goodness!
Gosh! Stop!
Move!
Move out of the way!
My gosh!
- The answer is? - What?
What do you think the anterior cingulate cortex would say?
Didn't you roll this long way
to actively answer the question?
I think the anterior cingulate cortex
would agree that it was good.
Wrong. It disagrees.
However, it just timidly disagrees,
worried about getting caught.
Lastly, the orbitofrontal cortex takes over.
"Both opinions are valid, but I'll take this side."
Instead of listening to the voice of the weaker conscience,
it listens more to the voice with a stronger will.
Now, the rationalization of the brain is over.
Next, the execution of the crime.
Death.
From the perspective of neurophysiology,
central nerve controlling repression and the neurons inside it
You jerk are seriously
could not stop the desire for violence.
I did attend your lecture without permission,
but how could you punish me for the whole lecture?
An educator should have an open mind.
You shouldn't be doing that.
As an officer who lives on country's tax,
instead of chasing the criminals,
you're out here leisurely following me around.
Is it really okay to do so?
I wasn't following you.
I coincidentally heard that you are giving a special lecture
and I coincidentally happened to have some business to do here
Do you think I would have?
Of course, I was following you.
Why?
Because I need your cooperation on the investigation.
- Is that all? - What if it's not all?
I think you have an ulterior motive.
What do you mean?
I remember
You remember?
No, I still don't.
Your appearance leaves a vague impression.
I can't believe there is such a person like him.
That's enough.
Why don't you just cooperate?
Only if you reveal your identity first.
What do you mean identity? You're exaggerating.
Okay.
Fine. So my identity is
I'm a fan! Your fan.
My what?
You wrote books and had done some interviews, didn't you?
So I became your fan after reading them.
Don't be like this.
Just think of it as a fan service and cooperate, okay?
- I don't want to. - Don't be like this and just do it.
No.
Why don't you think about it for at least three seconds?
- No! - Seriously.
He'll end up doing it anyway. Why does he have to be so stubborn?
Here.
I know you secretly went to Bangbae-dong crime scene.
Did you find anything?
It was a planned murder.
Don't we all know that?
Both Bangbae-dong and Dohwa-dong had purple flowers at the scenes.
I've searched all florists around this area,
but I couldn't find the person who bought this flower.
You're here.
Purple sometimes is used to express sadness or death.
The woman probably didn't know what door
she had just opened at the moment.
It comes out in "Rain Shower" by Hwang Sun Won as well.
The dead girl liked purple or something like that.
I believe that is originated from the Greek mythology.
The god of the sun, Apollo, and the god of west wind, Zephyrus,
were in love with Hyacinthus at the same time.
And he died because of their jealousy.
From the place impregnated with his blood,
a purple flower was bloomed.
Which is this flower, Hyacinths.
Whether it is in mythology, or in the past, or even now,
women die because of men.
Hyacinthus was a guy. A pretty boy.
Is that so?
I guess men are just like that, even among themselves as well.
Anyway
In conclusion, the perpetrator, or rather, I,
did not commit the murder accidentally.
But it was intentional,
"I come here with the purpose of killing you."
And then?
What did you discover next?
- Nothing. - Nothing?
We can't patternize with just two bodies.
Has the third case not taken place yet?
Not yet.
Fortunately.
Based on the cycle, there should have been
another crime taking place within a few days.
Why is it not happening?
Are you waiting for another person to die?
The more the bodies, the more the information we get.
What a monster.
I have a hypothesis.
What is it?
It's only a hypothesis though.
I totally like hypotheses.
When I went to the crime scene in Dohwa-dong
You mean when you trespassed into it.
There's something I couldn't understand.
The forensic results showed that the cause of death
of the first victim was suffocation.
Other than the ligature mark, there was no other mark on the body.
The results also suggested that
some kind of narcotic drug was injected by the perpetrator.
But why? Why would he use this method to kill her?
Psycho? Because he is a pervert?
My conclusion is that the perpetrator didn't want
to leave any marks on the body.
He wanted to own a blemish-free body.
But
Both victims died from suffocation with ligature marks.
But he used violence on the second victim in Dohwa-dong.
Why?
He couldn't repress his anger at that moment.
Almost same height, weight, and similar facial features and moods.
She probably
had a haircut recently.
No way.
He used violence because of her hair?
Ted Bundy murdered women who looked similar
to his fiancée who had dumped him.
This perpetrator probably has a role model as well.
The perpetrator may be killing many people,
but in his mind,
he's repeatedly killing the same person.
This is the signature from Bangbae-dong crime scene.
It reveals the coordinate of the second crime scene.
In short, it's a murder notice.
Like the Zodiac killer, he's challenging us to solve it.
It shows his confidence and guts,
and also a mockery to the investigative authority.
Also, the perpetrator's mockery was precise.
You didn't even know these were codes, let alone solve it.
No one.
What are these codes made of?
That's
It's called a semaphore. It was a type of signal used by sailors.
The peace sign originated from this,
and it was also used by the Beatles as their album cover.
He twisted it a couple of times and made those codes using this,
but it's actually a simple code.
If you decode it based on this,
you get N37.541506, which is the latitude.
The next line starts with E, so it indicates the east longitude,
which is
This is when you use the saying
that your head is just a decoration.
What a jerk.
There should be a similar message in the second crime scene.
It could be a similar or a completely different code.
We need to find that.
And also
The most important thing is,
where did the perpetrator find women who match his preferences?
Picking them up on the streets or at the clubs?
Is it not?
We need to find common places where
both the first and second victims had been registered in.
For example, the hospital, spa, or matrimonial agency.
In order to find women with similar characteristics in a short time,
there's a high probability that he might have used such methods.
And also
Are there any past records?
Past records? Past records
There may be unsolved cases!
It's spinning as little as the size of eye gunk.
What do you mean?
Your brain.
Really?
Why did I smile?
What?
I'm sorry.
We also need to check to see if there are any past records
involving a similar pattern of the characteristics of victims.
If we're lucky,
we could find the mistakes made by the perpetrator
from being inexperienced in the past records we found.
Okay, that makes sense.
I don't really want to listen to that jerk,
but let's get into action.
Then, Cha Ji An should look for the signature,
Eun Bok should find the list of the victims' registered places,
and Seung Joo should track down the unsolved cases.
As for you, Myung Woo, continue to track
unregistered phones and vehicles, as well as eyewitnesses' testimony.
I really don't want to listen to that jerk.
Hurry and get moving.
This is crazy.
Seems like something good happened in the restroom.
Over there, behind us.
I heard them on my way here.
They were arguing about whether you and I are mom and son,
or a couple, with the older woman having an affair with a younger man.
I must still look fine.
Should I go tell them? That we are mom and son.
Even if we're not related by blood, it's true that you're my son.
Since they already think of us like that,
why don't we make it seem more convincing, Ms. Hyun Ji Soo?
You're so arrogant, Lee Hyun.
What's your reason?
It's the middle of the semester,
but you suddenly came back to Korea without finishing your lectures.
And what's this about assisting the investigation?
I told you I came back because I received an email.
So, about that email
Lee Young Joon's case file.
The investigation report of when my dad passed away.
I would like to see it.
Why all of the sudden?
You weren't once curious about it before.
Is that so?
Did you get your memories back?
Not yet.
They're still in bits and pieces.
I just think it's my duty as a son and an old brother
to be curious about it at least once.
Do you think that these cases regarding these women
are related to Lee Joon Young?
That's why you came back?
No, it's just that
I want to see it as something different.
There's no file.
There isn't one?
That's how the police system was like.
It's only three to four years since an evidence room was formed.
There was no way there would be files before that.
I see.
Well, there's nothing I can do.
The investigation report of when my dad passed away.
I would like to see it.
(Lee Joong Min's death case in 1996)
This case shall be buried forever.
Don't leak out anything about it.
(Planning Officer, Hyun Ji Soo)
(Lee Joong Min's death case in 1996)
Let's call it a day.
I can't hear you.
Look.
It finally turned out the way you wanted it to be.
I slept for a whole hour.
Goodness.
I must be crazy.
The window.
The window was open.
Either the forensic team opened it while they were investigating,
or it was already open during the crime.
Anyway,
if the wind had been blowing
- Yes. - I found it!
Both the victims were members of a hotel's spa.
Really?
So what that person said was right.
I'm starting to like him.
I don't care if you want to like him.
We should have a meeting before we get moving.
If the perpetrator is someone who works at the spa,
he could hide away.
You've worked hard, Min Seung Joo.
Excuse me.
I came to look for evidence to catch the killer who killed you,
so please don't misunderstand and help me.
I found the signature!
I called you a lot of time, but you didn't answer, so
I told you how to decode it.
It's weird, that's why.
What's weird about it?
I sent it to the team and they did solve it, but
Why is it Daebu Island?
He said something about yachts.
Could it possibly be a yacht murder this time?
Who knows?
It's weird, isn't it?
He committed the crime in Seoul,
then suddenly went to the ocean?
I thought you should look at it since you have a big brain capacity.
Phone.
(Degree, Base 10 Decimal Notation)
(Degree, Minutes, Seconds, Base 60 Decimal Notation)
A bunch of idiots.
What's changed is only the coordinate format
from decimal degrees to degrees, minutes, and seconds.
What degrees, minutes, and seconds?
Report back to me as soon as you find the perpetrator.
Anyways, thank you!
Daebang-dong?
He decoded it in degrees, minutes, and seconds or something like that,
which turned out to be Daebang-dong.
My goodness. We almost left for Daebu Island.
I really like him!
Hey.
But we need the list to compare the location. What do we do?
Even if a staff at the spa is involved in this,
don't you think stopping the third attack should come first?
Hello.
- How can I help you? - Well
Can I talk to the person in charge?
But revealing the customer information
Should I bring the warrant and the media to cause a commotion?
Myung Woo.
We just need to know the name of the customer
who resides at a specific address.
There is this Ha Yoon Ji who fits the professor's profile.
And she's on leave starting today.
Both victims from Bangbae-dong case and Dohwa-dong case
were on their day off before they were killed.
Send me her phone number. I'll try to contact her.
Then I'll see you all at the scene.
Okay.
Come on, pick up the phone.
Pick up the phone, please.
It smells good. Thank you.
Pick up the phone, please.
Pick up the phone, please.
Pick up the phone, please.
Please pick up the phone.
Hello?
Is this Ms. Ha Yoon Ji?
Yes, I am. Who is this?
I have a favor to ask.
This might sound weird,
but please act naturally as if you're on the phone with a friend.
This is Inspector Cha Ji An from the police department.
What's going on?
You are not alone now, right?
Have you, by any chance, received purple flowers?
No way.
Yes.
Okay, I got it.
I'll do that for now.
Okay.
My room was dark.
The lights couldn't be turned on.
But my family liked to visit my room.
One day, something happened.
In my room, my dad
Hyun.
Do you still remember?
That I'm curious to know what kind of adult you'll become.
I'm curious to know
what kind of adult you'll become.
I want to see.
By the time you hear this,
I'll be there to keep my promise to you.
Who knows? Maybe I'm already by your side.
(Remember You)
A serial killer?
It's too big of a scale.
If possible, I'd like to get rid of him with my own hands.
Shall we do that?
- What? - My dad is dead.
Actually, the cause of my dad's death
Makes you feel superior.
"Just acknowledge me, say that I'm good."
Should I kill him for you?
- You're here. - "You're here?"
Don't show your face in front of me
as you please anymore.
Let's talk.
Turn your head. I get annoyed when I see your face.
Wait! Seriously.
Cha Ji An.
That woman.
Who
are you?
