A Killer Paradox (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

- [pop music playing]
- [people clapping along]
- Flowers for you?
- [man singing in Korean]
Buy some flowers?
- Ugh, why the hell did you drink so much?
- Let go! Get away!
[man 1] Wow. What a great night.
- Thanks, that was great.
- [woman] Thank you, sir!
- [man 1] Let's go for round three! On me!
- [man 2] Aah
- [man 1] Let's get out of here.
- Round three? No, no.
- I know a great place.
- Listen.
- They do a great pork belly.
- I can't. I gotta go home.
- Take this. You do round three.
- I'm telling you.
- There. Go!
- A round of applause, everyone!
- [cheering]
- [laughs]
- You don't have to pay. Come on.
- All right
- Have you researched being a good boss?
- Huh?
- I get it!
- He's already a good boss.
- No need to look that up.
- No, it's nothing.
- How are you getting home?
- I called a driver.
- Let me walk you to your car.
- Get home safe.
- Don't ask what we spend this on!
- Bye!
- Get home safe, sir.
- [boss] All right, see you.
[alarm bleeps]
[boss] Ah. Going to Noeun-dong?
This is my car. Come on, let's go.
[ominous music plays]
[car door shuts]
[engine starts]
[phone buzzing]
[sighs]
Hello?
[man] Hello? You called a driver
for Noeun-dong, right?
- Where are you?
- Driver?
- I'm here, but I don't see anyone.
- I'm already on my way.
Sorry? But I just got here.
What?
Hello? Hello?
Hey, driver.
We're heading to Noeun-dong, right?
Oh
Ugh. Hey, I think
we're headed the wrong way.
Hey. Excuse me, where are we going?
Driver?
[crackling]
[dramatic music plays]
A KILLER PARADOX
[commentator yelling]
- Excuse me.
- [music stops]
Welcome. [sighs]
- Hi.
- Hi, uh how can I help you?
Uh, I was wondering
if you have someone who works here
named Lee Tang.
Oh Lee Tang?
Uh, it I mean, the name's unusual.
There's a long A in Tang,
you know, like in Nan.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He used to work here.
He used to?
Yeah, until a few days ago.
VICTIM'S DETAILS
[computer chimes]
[Chang-taek] So
his family repaid
the 950,000 won on his behalf?
[Gang-hyo] Yes.
Well, that's everything.
- Hmm?
- [Chang-taek] You can go now.
Oh.
- So we're done?
- [Chang-taek] Yes. All done.
THE PLAINTIFF HAS WITHDRAWN THE COMPLAIN
[sighs]
[music stops]
[Chung-jin] I'm leaving now.
I wish you all the best.
[cop] Hey, Mr. James Park,
come visit sometime.
- I'll buy you a steak.
- Yeah.
- [boss] All right, get going.
- [chuckles]
- [boss] Have a safe flight.
- All right. [laughs]
- Goodbye, sir.
- Goodbye, sir!
- Take care!
- Good luck!
[woman] Hmm.
The important thing here is that
Hey.
She's much prettier in person.
[upbeat music plays]
[boss] Yeah? So what?
How's that gonna help us out?
- It probably won't hurt.
- Whatever. Stop staring at her.
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNI
A close examination of the evidence
will tell us what we've missed.
Let's go over it again slowly.
[Yong-jae] Now we have
a special investigations unit,
it's only a matter of time
before we find the killer.
Or so we thought.
But all we did was waste time.
4 MONTHS LATER
We have nothing to show
for the last four months.
[power tools whirring]
[Yong-jae] We're back to square one.
I mean, we haven't
solved a single thing yet.
Isn't it too early to demobilize the unit?
[cop] Hey.
They won't be here anymore.
They're doing us a favor.
They've been here since before me.
I bet they're itching to go.
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
CAUSE OF DEATH: UNKNOWN
[cop] I've got other cases to work on.
[Yong-jae scoffs] Other cases.
We've still got more than we can handle.
Oh, we miss you, James Park.
[man] Be careful, I don't want
these documents to get out of order.
What did I say?
Pack it so it doesn't fall.
- Huh.
- I don't get it.
They should just hand the case over to us.
What do they expect us to do
after all this time?
Do you think they were really
brought here to bring in bad guys?
[Yong-jae] Hmm?
Those four months were just to prove
they could keep themselves busy.
It was just a formality, that's all.
- Just a show.
- Right, just a show.
- They just had to show
- [woman] Excuse me.
So all this while, Detective Jang, you
thought we were just putting on a show?
[chuckles]
Well, we're leaving anyway,
so I'll just be honest with you.
It's a profiler's job to get
an investigation back on track
when it's falling off the rails.
[sighs]
The cases you showed me
in private aren't serial murders.
You're looking at a bunch
of coincidences, I'm positive.
- If no proof of murder
- [Jang] Wait.
So, you've been treating these
as coincidences this whole time?
If there is no proof, we follow
the circumstances before our instincts,
as you know.
Especially in Mr. Kang Sang-muk's case.
His statements about the, uh, date
of the crime, as well as the motive
- They fit the circumstances at hand.
- And how do they fit, exactly?
You searched the mountains and streams
for four months
but never found that brick.
What suspect forgets
what he did with the murder weapon?
The extreme shock from the situation may
have led him to forget important details
- Do you really think that makes any sense?
- Tell me why it wouldn't.
We should be open
to all possibilities now.
You've run out of ideas.
You're not being open.
You'll just buy Sang-muk's statement,
and then assume
this is all a coincidence, right?
Detective, I'm gonna say something.
Your team's bias was
clear during the investigation.
- You refused to cooperate
- So that's the point you wanted to make.
I get that you wanna saddle us
with all the responsibility,
so you can leave here blameless.
Love your show, by the way.
You said this was fun,
and now I saw it firsthand.
Aah.
[laughs]
[siren wails outside]
[laughs]
It airs at ten past ten every Friday.
Make sure you watch it live.
[Yong-jae] Yeah, I'm a big fan.
[Jang sighs]
- [sighs]
- [Jang] Hey, Kim. Hey.
Have you eaten?
- [Kim] Yes.
- Why'd you eat so early?
Okay. Let's play some badminton, then.
Good for the stomach.
- Now?
- Yes, now.
- Right now?
- Yes. Right now.
Loser buys soju?
- [Jang] Sure, yeah.
- [Kim] Hmm.
- [jazz music plays]
- [man] God. Those dumbasses.
We got some armchair detectives here.
Watch out.
Guys. Don't you think they're relying
too much on behavioral analysis?
They have to approach
it geographically too.
Murderers don't just choose
their crime scenes at random.
They usually stay near their house,
or, at least, they stay
within a pretty small radius
of their normal daily activities.
Come on.
- [doorbell rings]
- How pathetic.
- Aah.
- [music stops]
Time to eat.
Yes, jjajangmyeon!
Uh
- Hello?
- You're lookin' well. You busy?
[man] No, I'm not busy.
- But I was just about to eat.
- [Kim sighs]
[Jang] Huh.
[man] So, what brings you here?
[suspenseful music plays]
So you're saying that these cases look
like a series of serial murders, right?
It's possible, is all I'm saying.
[man] You haven't changed a bit.
QUICK DELIVERY
You're still how should I put it?
As stubborn and obsessive as I remembered.
Oh, uh, those are kind of expensive.
Please, just be real careful.
[chuckles]
Hey, so, don't you think it's
kind of weird that there's no evidence?
- Nothing?
- [Jang] There's no evidence?
It shows how the police
fumbled the initial investigation.
They can't cooperate or communicate.
To connect the cases,
they need to find at least something, but
[Jang] Isn't that how you got caught, hmm?
[man] Oh, come on.
That was a long time ago.
- [Jang] So?
- That's embarrassing, man.
Cut to the chase.
Is it a serial murderer, or what?
[sighs]
The way I see it,
it's not a serial murderer.
[Jang] You don't think so? Why not?
- I'm looking at the earlier cases.
- Mm?
The murders don't look premeditated.
They're accidental and impulsive.
The murderer was using blunt weapons
rather than a knife.
But if you look at a later case
- Here.
- [Jang] Hmm.
The killer used a knife.
They stabbed the victim four times.
He did that without any hesitation.
As if murder was the sole purpose.
[Jang] Hmm.
That's what makes this one completely
different from the case you brought me.
- No way it's the same person?
- No.
How would a person go from sharp to blunt?
- [man] Exactly, yeah.
- [Jang] Hmm.
So I'm thinking,
what if we place
the prosecutor right in the middle?
- Does that make a difference?
- [man] The prosecutor?
Hmm.
That might change the story, then.
- Does it really?
- Yes.
Because Prosecutor Ji
was stabbed with a knife.
- [Jang] Hmm.
- It was sloppy.
- But the killer stabbed him once.
- Mm-hmm.
So the killer might not have been
as experienced at that point.
But he could've been rehearsing.
And after that, he was doing it perfectly.
- So, could be the killer gradually
- Evolved from one to another.
- [man] Exactly. Yeah.
- Ah.
So, in fact, a serial murderer is likely.
- [man] Yeah, that's right.
- [sighs]
- [man] But don't you find it odd?
- What?
I mean, it's not like the victims
confess their sins to the killer.
So, then, how do they all
end up being criminals?
- [chuckles] Isn't that interesting?
- [doorbell rings]
- [Jang sighs]
- So what's Prosecutor Ji's crime?
Awesome, thank you.
Anyway, the conclusion here is that
I don't really think
it's a serial murderer.
- That's just my opinion.
- Mm. Did you hear that?
All right, good.
Okay. I'll let you in.
Wait. Who are you letting in?
[Jang] You've been hacking
the prosecution's intranet again.
- [man] What?
- Prosecutor Ji's case is confidential.
How'd you know about it in such detail?
[man] Well, it was all over the news.
- [Jang] Come on in.
- [Kim] Thanks. Pardon the intrusion.
- [Jang] Say hi to the detective.
- Who are you?
- Let's go. We'll talk at the station.
- [man] This is an illegal arrest.
You can't do this without a warrant.
This is abuse of power.
- I'm being detained unlawfully. I'm not
- [Jang] Here.
Who says we're arresting you?
- [man] You broke his head.
- Hmm?
Choose your fate very carefully, okay?
One.
You can cooperate, come to the station,
answer some questions, and come back home.
- Two.
- [man sighs]
I come back another time
with a search-and-seizure warrant.
Which one?
We might turn this place
upside down while we're at it.
Mr. Profiler, you must love playing
with your toys. Isn't that right?
Bet you'd love putting them back together.
- I can't tell if I can see through this.
- Mr. Roh.
- Yeah?
- Take a seat.
Okay.
What is this?
Why am I here?
You two call the shots,
and you're in the same room.
- Saves me time.
- [Kim] We're not done yet.
Captain. I admit he looks a little odd.
But if we apply pressure,
we'll find something useful.
You heard him talk
about the prosecutor's case in detail.
[Roh] I've told you everything.
Know what it feels like at my age
to have the chief scream and spit
in my face 'cause of stunts like this?
- [Kim] Let me get these in order.
- I'm just trying to retire in peace.
I'm so sick of this nonsense.
Come on, Captain. Please. Huh?
[sighs]
Consider this penance
for the late prosecutor, okay?
We're not sure what it is,
but it's beginning to look
like the man had a lot to hide.
His death is linked to other cases,
so it's the prosecution's headache too.
We're not catching much heat just yet.
But if these turn out to be
serial murders, we'll be in trouble.
- Okay. Okay.
- Give it a try.
If anything comes up,
let me know right away.
- Am I understood?
- Of course, sir.
Hmm.
- [boss] Good night, sir!
- [captain] All right.
- By the books, no mistakes.
- [door closes]
- Hey.
- [Jang] Yeah.
A warrant would just be embarrassing.
Says he found it on some website.
It's a non-starter.
[Jang] Hmm.
Though there really is
something fishy going on with that guy.
- I mean, I've got nothing at the moment.
- Hmm. Yeah, it's fine.
- Let's send him back for the time being.
- It's okay. Thank you for your help.
- [Yong-jae] We'll get going.
- [Jang] Bye.
- [Kim] Hmm. Wait, wait, wait.
- [Jang] What?
Did you want this to happen?
[sighs] Consider this payback
for that favor I owe you.
This may not be an official investigation,
but the captain gave approval,
so all you need to do is sit tight.
- All right?
- [Kim scoffs]
I'll call later. You did great today, huh?
- Hmm?
- [Kim] Well, thank you, sir.
- [Jang] I'm goin' home.
- [Yong-jae] Good night, sir.
[Kang] Aren't you hungry?
You didn't eat the jjajangmyeon.
It got all mushy and soggy.
Let's go eat, then. It'll be my treat.
I'm not hungry.
Listen, if you get caught hacking
into the prosecution's intranet again,
I'll really have to have you detained,
huh?
I told you back at my place,
I didn't hack
Don't jerk me around, you moron.
[sighs]
If you're gonna say something,
just say it.
What do you think the difference is
between coincidence and fate?
Hmm? I mean, think about it.
There are all these murders
happening in Daejeon,
but not a single thing connects them.
I mean, no one can be sure
that there's no connection.
But anyway, that's not on me.
That's your job.
I'm just frustrated, that's all.
We still don't have any leads.
Do you still play superhero these days?
No, I'm not a kid anymore.
I don't do that stuff. No way.
You can do whatever you like,
but you gotta be more careful.
And call me right away
if something comes up.
- For your own good.
- I want to cooperate with you.
I want to catch bad guys too.
You just took things way too far
this time, all right?
[chuckles softly]
[Roh] I'm serious.
I'm getting something tasty.
Sure you're not eating?
[slurps]
[quiet music plays]
Hmm.
Oh God.
[doorbell rings]
[gasps]
[quirky music plays]
Hey. I wasn't in jail.
What's with the tofu?
I don't know. I saw it on TV.
- We gotta be careful. I'm stressed out.
- Why?
This cop's totally been harassing me.
If you're on his radar,
he's gonna find you. No matter what.
So, then, what do we do?
[Kim] Excuse me.
I'm with the police.
Let me ask you something.
You frequently deliver to 307, right?
- Hmm.
- Where did you just deliver to?
Unit 307.
[Kim] Unit 307?
JUNGHWARU
QUICK DELIVERY
Is this guy an accomplice, do you think?
He seemed like a run-of-the-mill nerd.
- [Jang] That's what I thought at first.
- [chuckles]
[Jang] But there's more to him
than you'd think.
Meticulous little piece of shit.
What did he do?
A long time ago,
there was this bastard
that I knew I had to catch.
- He was a murderer too.
- Hmm.
And the kid
looked after that murderer.
But I don't know if he's related
to this case or not. I'm just not sure.
But we'll see.
The bastard you just mentioned.
Was it that cop?
Why do you wanna catch this guy so badly?
Christ, we're not on a picnic, man. Huh?
So many questions. [tuts]
[door opens]
[Kim sighs]
[Jang] So? Did you ask him?
Yeah. He's from Junghwaru.
An extra large jjajangmyeon to unit 307.
But he's never seen the guy's face well.
He's always wearing his helmet.
- He's always wearing his helmet?
- [Kim] Yeah, why?
[Roh] Awesome, thank you!
[Kim] What? What is it?
- What's going on?
- Get that delivery guy.
- What?
- Sir?
- Now, quickly.
- Sir, wait. What are you doing?
[doorbell rings]
What is it?
What? What's going on?
What's going on?
Hey, what on earth are you doing?
- Hey
- I knew you'd do this again.
Did you choose the victims for him too?
Choose what victims?
[Kim] Man, at least just tell me
what's going on.
He can't expect us to chase some guy down.
I didn't see him at first,
but that has to be him, right?
- On the right.
- [Kim] I think so.
- It is.
- [Yong-jae] Speed up. Get closer.
[tense music playing]
- It's the one with "Junghwaru" on it.
- Junghwaru?
Junghwaru, Junghwaru
All right, so there's two of them.
I can't tell which is which.
- Uh
- That one. That one.
- [Yong-jae] Which one?
- License 32561.3256
That one? Way up front? Are you sure?
Yeah.
[Yong-jae] I'll go catch him.
Scuse me!
Scuse me!
Hold on! Junghwaru!
Hey!
[man 1] Here we go. One, two, three.
Wait, no. This is crazy heavy.
[Yong-jae yelling]
[groans]
Hey, Junghwaru. [groans]
[Jang sighs]
Call Lee Tang right now.
Who's Lee Tang? I don't know him.
- Oh, you don't know who he is? Huh?
- That's right.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Don't fucking play dumb,
you stupid little shit.
- [gasps]
- Now tell me how you hid the evidence.
[Roh] Hid the evidence?
- Do you have proof that I
- Answer me, asshole.
This is what you do, pick targets
based on a guess, with no evidence.
You miss the culprit every time.
That's why I
[Jang sighs]
- This is how you missed the guy last time!
- What did you just say, asshole?
- Who did I miss?
- Excessive force! Excessive force!
- Excessive force?
- [whimpers]
How is this excessive, huh?
Hey, is it excessive force
when you're resisting arrest?
- Is it?
- [yelps]
Answer me, smart-ass. You use fancy words
and think you can get away with this?
- Huh? Hey.
- [sobbing]
- Spill it, you son of a bitch.
- [door opens]
- [whimpering]
- [Yong-jae] Sir.
- I caught him.
- [Jang] Bring him here.
- I can't be here right now.
- Hold on.
- My boss'll be pissed.
- Who's this?
- The Junghwaru delivery guy.
- [phone buzzing]
- This isn't the guy I told you to catch!
- [captain] Yong-jae.
- I didn't do anything!
- He's not?
- God, this sucks.
- Who is this guy?
- Yes, sir.
- Is Nan-gam with you? Put him on.
- The captain wants to talk to you.
- Look
- Okay, so am I free to go?
- Hold on, hold on.
- Moron.
- [captain yelling] Jang Nan-gam!
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, there he is.
- Why haven't you answered my calls?
- I'm a little busy.
- Can I call you later?
- No. This can't wait.
It's all over the internet, you damn punk!
- What are you doing at Roh Bin's place?
- What's all over the internet?
- [chiming]
- Video of you beating him.
- It's everywhere, you idiot!
- Huh?
- You can't barge in and rough him up!
- [cop 1] Open up!
- We're getting calls about a cop
- I'll call you back.
[cop 2] You hear that, too, right?
[cop 1] I think they're in there.
[knocking on door]
[cop 1] We're here about the report!
[cop 2] I'll try and get them to open up.
You call the office.
- [doorbell rings]
- [cop 2] This is the police.
- Open the door.
- [knocking]
[cop 2] If you don't,
we will open it by force.
[knocking]
[cops talking in hall]
- [banging]
- [cop 2] Open up right now!
- [knocking]
- [cop 2] Open this door now!
[funk music plays]
4 MONTHS AGO
[horn blaring]
[sighs]
"Dear Mom and Dad,
I was born into this world,
but I couldn't figure out
what purpose I could serve while I'm here,
so I've just been an aimless loser."
[warm, calm music playing]
[Tang] "But I'm going on a journey
to find a way to right my wrongs."
"I'm
going to Canada."
"Please forgive me
for not saying goodbye."
BALANCE: 358,000 WON
[on TV] It's been revealed
that Lee and Kang,
high-school students who were murdered
in Dunsan-dong on the 3rd,
turned out to be perpetrators of violence
in their school, shocking the public.
They sexually assaulted a girl
in middle school
[Tang] "I just don't think
I can bring myself to stay
and pretend that everything's normal."
"That's why."
[man] What are you doing?
[Tang] "I know
that I'll make new friends there."
"I'll work hard."
"And then I'll come back
as a better person, as someone decent."
"Don't worry about me."
NO SEARCH RESULTS FOR "ONLYFORHEROES"
[sighs]
TODAY, WE'LL LEARN ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF
YOU DON'T APPEAR FOR AN ATTENDANCE REQUES
THE COMPUTER WILL SHUT OFF SOON
[chiming]
[Tang] "I'll start over from scratch."
[moody music plays]
[PA chiming]
[music fades]
[PA] There are no more trains
in service today.
Any passengers
on the platform or in the waiting area,
please exit the station
and use another transit service.
- Thank you for your understanding.
- Um, I'm Onlyforheroes.
I'm sorry for the wait.
I'm from Daejeon. And I really think
that I can help you out, Mr. Tang.
I promise I'm not a weirdo.
- I came all this way because I wanna help.
- This is the final stop. Please get off.
Please step out.
This train is not in service.
REMAINING DISTANCE: 120 KM
[satnav chimes]
This is an accident-prone area.
Please be careful.
[Bin] I've been searching for you
for a long time, Mr. Lee.
You see, there's this thing called "fate."
[uneasy music playing]
[Bin] Some people are
meant to cross paths.
You know,
I think we were destined to meet.
If we were to work together,
we could change the world.
What is it that you do?
- I'm a sidekick.
- [Tang] What?
[Bin] Batman and Robin.
Sherlock and Watson. Goku and Krillin.
Lee Tang and Roh Bin.
That's my name.
I even had it legally changed.
[Tang sighs]
Huh.
Is this some kinda sick joke?
Yeo Bu-il, Seon Yeo-ok,
and, uh, Kang Jae-jun and Lee Jin-seong.
I believe you've met them.
Uh, how did you get this?
I told you.
I've been hard at work looking for you.
I was baffled too. Someone I was looking
for suddenly appearing before my eyes?
But I had to make extra sure.
It took me a while.
TOMORROW, 12. HOUSE WITH BLUE DOORS
BY THE YONGUN INTERSECTION
You only suspected you have special
powers, but you were never fully sure?
Take a look at this.
What do you think
these cases have in common?
One, all the victims were pieces of shit.
Two, you didn't get rid of any evidence
after, but it did just disappear, right?
The evidence
What could all of this mean?
The way I see it, some higher power
is telling you to continue your work.
For me, that's the only explanation.
It's unreal. Doesn't make sense.
What do you want from me?
To serve justice with you.
- Huh?
- Let's work together, Mr. Lee.
I'll give you anything that you want.
I have 50 million won.
It's my life savings.
If you need any money,
I'll give it to you.
And you said you wanted to visit
the Rocky Mountains someday, didn't you?
I can send you there if you want.
So I'm asking you,
please, can we just give it a try?
I I'm serious.
[breathing shakily] No, no
Uh, I
[Bin] You did nothing wrong, Mr. Lee.
All you did was clean up human garbage.
Cleaning up isn't a crime,
so there's no need for you to run.
That's all I'm trying to tell you.
If you decide to work with me,
I'll make it
so you don't have to run anymore.
- [gulps and sighs]
- [music fades]
[dog barking]
[snoring]
[birdsong]
[snores]
[Bin sighs]
[gasps]
Want some breakfast?
[children chanting]
[Bin] So, in simple terms,
your powers work like this, okay?
When you see a piece of trash,
you want to throw it away.
And of course, what you do is
you trash the trash, obviously.
[child] Hey!
That man over there just littered!
[Tang] Wait, hold on.
So, what? I just start
stabbing people on the subway?
And you're saying
they'll all have deserved to die?
And that the evidence will disappear?
That makes no sense.
Look, have you ever
felt an urge?
I mean, have you gotten a sign to do it?
No.
That's perfect.
That's also part of your powers, then.
In order to throw away trash,
you need to have a trash can.
Bearing all that in mind,
I think we were destined to meet.
Of course, the decision is up to you.
Hey.
Sleep over.
- By the way, hyung.
- [Bin] Yeah?
- You said you had two partners before me.
- [Bin sighs]
Where are they right now?
[Bin] You've already seen
one of them already.
And the one before him
I hope we never have to see him again.
Who who is that?
[Bin groans]
[sighs] There's some stuff
behind the shelf.
Take what you want from there.

Wait. What do you mean?
What crime could you have done?

- To have brought us both here tonight?
How am I even supposed to know?

You you're doing this for money,
aren't you?
I can give you money!
I will! Okay? I will pay you.
I will. Wait. Wait, wait!
