(All characters,
organizations, locations, )
(and incidents in this
drama are fictional.)
Darn it.
What on earth is going on?
(Head of Munju Police Station,
Jung Cheol Mun)
Section Chief Park,
is this how you take care of business?
Is it so hard for you to
supervise your people?
There's no evidence
that my people leaked it.
Am I supposed to believe that nonsense?
We arrested him without a warrant
because we didn't want a leak.
And the other teams couldn't have known.
Someone from VCU must've leaked it.
The reporters aren't camped
out at the back entrance.
We'll cover him up and bring
him in through the back door.
What about the reporters
camped out in the hallway?
What if the reporters
take pictures of him
and the news says we arrested
an officer as an abduction suspect?
Yes, and without a warrant at that.
How will they even know
Lee Dong Sik is an officer?
You told us to arrest him right away.
We had no time to let him get changed.
So Lee Dong Sik is in a police uniform.
- What? - What?
Which jerk leaked it?
Do Su.
Go get a blanket. I should cover myself up.
You are under arrest right now.
So quiet down.
There's no one at the back door.
Let's just go in quickly.
I can't take you in by myself.
I should wait for Ji Hwa.
The reporters will be at
the back door in no time.
Will you be okay with it?
What's that?
What on earth are they doing
in the police chief's office?
- Come quick. - Yes, sir.
Get in!
Hey, stop them.
- You can't come in here. - Wait.
Slowly. Slowly.
Bring him right now. Come on. Quickly.
You take him now.
- He's a police officer.
- Take his pictures!
Who is he? He's an officer, right?
Is he a suspect in the missing
case of the female college student?
Is the suspect an officer?
Did the officer abduct her?
Stop taking pictures!
Chief?
What is this?
Is this the only piece of evidence?
(Beyond Evil)
(Episode 4: Cry)
(Police officer arrest as a suspect
in the Munju missing persons case)
Cheif.
You're here.
What are you doing?
Are the officers from Manyang
Substation having a party in here?
I didn't ask him to come.
Inspector Han, you can't barge
in when it's not your jurisdiction.
Get out.
You should leave too.
Why aren't you leaving?
We could have a case because
Inspector Han tipped us off.
So let him in the observation room.
It doesn't matter whose
jurisdiction it is anymore, is that it?
Nobody cares about the rules anymore.
Way to go.
You must've run over as fast as you could.
But we're about to watch
him mess things up for us.
- Is he remaining silent?
- Remaining silent?
I'd be glad if that were the case.
What is that nut trying to do?
Ttaengttaengmyeon.
What?
The ramyeon brand. The regular kind,
not the cup noodles.
You've been watching
it for the last 10 minutes.
And all you came up with is
ramyeon in the plastic bag?
There's no harm in being thorough.
Don't you think so?
Officer Lee,
does everything seem like a joke to you?
Why would I think it's a joke?
I don't know anything about
this. Why would you ask me that?
You should ask Inspector Han.
It's the cloned phone you found
Inspector Han's number on, isn't it?
So you're saying
I put the phone in this plastic
bag and went up the mountain.
But the security camera
caught me. Is that it?
Maybe you guys have X-ray vision.
Does the VCU teach you
how to develop superpowers?
All right. Let's say what's
inside the bag is ramyeon.
Why did you bring it with you?
Were you going to cook
ramyeon up on the mountain?
Is that why you wrapped it
up nicely in a plastic bag?
Are you training your men properly?
I've never seen an officer
with such little law-abiding spirit.
What did you just say?
I was going up the mountain.
So how can I cook ramyeon up there?
I would need a portable
gas stove and butane gas.
Isn't it illegal to use flammable
materials in the mountains?
Why would I break the
law to eat ramyeon there?
Do Su,
you really need some law-abiding spirit.
You're under arrest for
abduction and malicious wounding.
But you're talking about
a law-abiding spirit?
Of course. A police officer must
follow the law. Isn't this the law?
Are you saying we don't
have to obey this kind of law?
Pull yourself together. Many
a mickle makes a muckle.
A journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step.
Gosh. That darn "many a mickle".
I've heard about him,
but he really is a total nut case.
Listen, Dong Sik. I used to look up to you.
You started from a police
substation in such a remote area
and made it to the Regional
Investigation Unit in Seoul
Kang Do Su.
Gosh.
Thank you for your compliment.
If you weren't going to cook it,
why did you take it there?
A raw ramyeon snack.
Don't you know what that is?
A snack made with uncooked ramyeon
noodles mixed with the soup powder.
Ttaengttaengmyeon is perfect
for a raw ramyeon snack.
Oh,
no. I guess he doesn't know that either.
Do Su.
Why do you think I told you
the exact product name
of the ramyeon I was carrying?
To make it easier for you guys
to check if I actually bought it?
That's one of the reasons.
Since I'm a police officer just like you,
I don't want you to waste your
time investigating the wrong man.
But of course, that's not the only reason.
I must not let you doubt
what I say even just a little.
Oh, right.
Am I speaking too fast?
Do Su, your typing speed is
still under 200 keystrokes per minute,
right?
All right. I'll repeat what I
said but slowly this time.
So the reason why I mean,
Officer, the reason why
I revealed the exact product
name of the ramyeon is
You're saying you said it because
you didn't want us to suspect you?
Do Su, what distinguishes
Ttaengttaengmyeon from others?
It has the thinnest noodles
among all ramyeon products.
A raw ramyeon snack is better with thin,
crispy noodles.
Imagine that I went up to the
mountain with thick noodles.
That would be pure comedy.
That's why I clearly told you
it was Ttaengttaengmyeon
Gosh, that stupid Ttaengttaengmyeon.
Stop spewing nonsense.
Do you think we arrested
you without a warrant
just to hear you chattering
about ramyeon noodles?
Do Su, what's wrong?
Do you not like ramyeon?
Lee Dong Sik, that's enough.
Enough?
Well, if you say so. Okay.
If that was too much Then
What else should I talk about
other than noodle quality?
How about screen quality?
Noodle quality, screen quality.
That was a good one.
Did I look okay on the screen?
Police officers exposed
the man they arrested without a warrant
in front of reporters,
who took photos of the suspect.
They revealed the identity
of a suspect they hadn't
proved to be guilty
to the whole world.
Do you like stories like this?
Don't let him sway you and move on.
Why did you go to Mount Simju
with Ttaengttaengmyeon that morning?
To eat a raw ramyeon snack.
That's not what I asked.
Why did you go up to the mountain?
You know
that I always go hiking to
Mount Simju on my day off.
You know that.
Inspector Oh Ji Hwa, you know that.
You went hiking because
it was your day off?
When Kang Min Jung who's
like your own niece went missing?
It would've been weird if I
hadn't done what I usually do.
Is it weird for me to do what I always do?
So what's your answer?
Do you know it or not?
Are you going to
confirm that fact for me or not?
I'm well aware
that Officer Lee goes hiking
to Mount Simju on his days off.
But Dong Sik, I don't know about this.
Why was there Min Jung's blood
in the basement of your house?
Blood? Min Jung's blood?
How would I know that?
I mean, Min Jung came to my
house whenever she wanted.
Maybe she went to the basement
and got pricked by something.
Why did you clean the basement?
You cleaned thoroughly using
bleach and some other detergents
as if you had to get rid
of your traces completely.
Are you saying that I dragged
Min Jung to my basement
to cut off her fingers
and murder her?
And in order to remove all the evidence
of cutting off her fingers and killing her,
I cleaned the basement
using bleach after the murder?
Come on. Stop acting like an amateur.
I cut off Min Jung's
fingers in my basement,
and cleaned the place to get
rid of her splattered blood
using bleach and some other detergents?
If that's true,
why is this the only bloodstain you found?
Don't tell me you think that
all the bloodstains were gone
because I cleaned the
basement using bleach.
Are you guys detectives in a drama?
Luminol can detect blood
even if you clean it with bleach.
You know that.
And you found this single drop of blood.
Are you sure this is all you found?
What? A single drop? Just
a single drop of her blood?
Sang Bae, it doesn't make sense, you know.
Min Jung is like his own family,
and she went missing.
Besides,
he was the one who found her 10 fingers.
Then why would he
thoroughly clean his basement
even using bleach and detergents?
Gosh. "Thoroughly", my foot.
If he thoroughly cleaned it,
there should've been no blood at all.
If he had cut all the 10 fingers in there,
there must've been
blood all over the place.
You're not making any sense.
Did you really arrest him because
of that single drop of blood?
But we did find blood that
belongs to the missing person.
He was caught on the security camera
that he installed by himself
cleaning the basement.
I'm glad you brought that up.
Did you see him cutting off
her fingers in that footage?
Is there any sign that Dong
Sik deleted the footage?
We couldn't find anything like that, but
What kind of crazy psycho
would install a security camera,
murder a person in front of that camera,
and clean the place to
get rid of the evidence?
- Are you serious? - Gosh.
That means he didn't cut off
her fingers in his basement.
- What did you say?
- He did it at another place.
Is there any place you
think he might've done it?
A place where it wouldn't be strange
to see blood everywhere
and to use a knife or a saw
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
(Search item: Any tools that
can damage a human body)
(Judge Han Seung Beom)
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
Hey, didn't something
happen at that store in the past?
The same thing happened back then.
Oh, gosh. What's going on?
Oh, I see that the owner
is still running that store.
Let's just keep going.
- Has it been long?
- Didn't she tell you anything?
What's going on there?
It's been closed for a while.
I heard that the woman who
ran that store packed up and left.
That girl's father died not long ago.
Could her mom have met another man?
- She left with another man?
- Quiet down. She might hear us.
What do you think you're doing now?
Did it make you this mad that we're
rummaging through the butcher shop?
Butcher shop?
Ms. Yoo,
you're angry because your butcher shop
is being searched and seized.
I guess you're doing this
because it made you angry
that your store got
involved in a murder case.
But you can't take that anger out on me.
You should rather blame
yourself for being friends
with someone like Lee Dong Sik.
Hey, stop it. Okay?
Ms. Yoo!
Jae Yi! What are you doing?
- Jae Yi, did you lose your mind?
- My goodness!
Gosh.
Here. Oh, my. Look at this.
What are you doing? Are you taking photos?
- Delete that right now.
- I didn't take any.
Delete the photo.
- I deleted it. - We deleted it.
What on earth did he do to
make her do something like that?
- Tell me about it. - Seriously.
Let's go.
What? Are you annoyed?
Come on, it's just some eggs.
- You can just wash it off. - Jae Yi.
Are you annoyed that
people are talking about you?
It's nothing compared to what you did.
You stigmatized an innocent person.
This person will be
stigmatized as a criminal for life.
And you're annoyed
by just some eggs?
Are you saying
I stigmatized Lee Dong Sik,
who is an innocent man?
You're putting on a show, obviously.
Are you saying this is just a show?
Ms. Yoo, is life so easy for you?
I envy the world you live in.
The world where some show
can easily make turn an
innocent man into a criminal
and make everyone believe you.
If that lame world of yours
and your prejudice
are the only reason why
I have to be egged now,
it means you disregard the
entire Korean police force.
You know you're being overly dramatic now.
You'd better cut it out here
unless you want to be completely done for.
Hey.
Do it then!
Let me see
what you find too. Please.
Hey.
Can't you knock?
Why would I?
This place is full of men.
You shouldn't be so
shy with your colleagues.
That's just not appropriate.
It's a new one.
You said you don't like using used towels.
Take this to the shower.
- I don't take showers anywhere.
- Oh, right.
I forgot that.
But what else can you do?
I can't let you go home.
As you know, Dong Sik is now arrested,
so without you,
this team will be too short-handed.
We can't let that happen.
- I'm taking some time off - Who? You?
When? I have never signed that paper.
- Sir. - Come on. Don't be like that.
There's some bleach in the bathroom.
Why don't you clean the bathroom
and wash yourself up as well?
Life isn't easy, is it?
You can't just wash up anywhere.
Goodness. Life isn't easy for any of us.
Wash up and come on out.
What are you doing?
You hate when things are dirty.
It's my car. And I'm still working now.
Just leave it. I'll take care of it.
You know, Jae Yi isn't a bad person.
She's actually a really nice person.
Instead of her,
I'll wash your car and do anything
- to make you feel better, so
- Officer Oh.
Why would you do that?
Are you stupid? Are you a pushover?
Why are you doing this?
Well, it's just
You don't seem to
understand what's going on.
Don't make me laugh.
I don't understand what's going on?
You're the one who doesn't understand.
You also said Lee Dong
Sik was a good person.
If he's such a nice person,
why would he do this?
If he really is a nice person,
why would he do something like this?
You provoked them.
Like some cold rice in a bowl,
the people here have been
stuck in this stupid village.
And you provoked those people.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't
have washed your car.
Let's go out on patrol.
You're going to drive, right?
This is not the place.
There are a lot of bloodstains,
but most of them are animals' blood.
Most of them?
But this knife.
A woman's blood was found on
the wooden handle of the knife.
Not only was the bloodstain
old but it also was highly likely
to have been contaminated,
so I didn't expect much from it,
but we managed to extract its DNA.
And we even found a
match from our database.
- Here. Take a look at this.
- Han Jeong Im.
How did you know?
(The DNA from the above item matches
that of the missing Han Jeong Im.)
Han Jeong Im?
Is this all we've got?
This means we're totally
doomed thanks to someone.
Keep looking. But it won't change
the fact that that's all we've got.
Anyway, we found a woman's DNA.
It's not Kang Min Jung's.
And it's just a tiny
bloodstain on the handle.
What can we do about it?
This means Manyang
Butcher Shop is irrelevant.
You arrested him without a warrant,
and your 48 hours are almost over.
If you don't have any
evidence to get the warrant,
you need to at least get
Lee Dong Sik's confession.
I heard that punk has the
cops in the palm of his hands.
Once it gets out that Dong Sik is freed,
the arrest has been canceled,
and there's been a mistake in
the search and seizure warrant
That's not the problem.
The problem is we might miss a criminal.
You're upset. This is not like you.
Why are you even angry?
The ones who should
be angry are your father,
who believed you and decided
to arrest him without a warrant,
and me, who issued the warrant.
We were totally fooled by you.
Han Ju Won.
Stay off this case.
- Hyeok.
- And I'm saying this for your sake.
I know you graduated
at the top of your class,
and I understand you want to
continue your winning streak
as a police officer as you have been,
but we're not in school.
The world doesn't always go your way,
young man.
I mean, look at your face.
Let your father and I
take care of this case.
Get some rest.

My mom said earlier
that the cops were here this afternoon.
Here? Again?
This area must be cursed.
- There's something about this area.
- It's so spooky.
- Why did you take a photo? - I'm scared.
(Missing Person)
(Han Jeong Im, female, age 42,
165cm, 55kg, dark brown curly hair)
I'll get everything back.
Just as they were when you disappeared,
Mom,
I'll get them all back.
I'll give it all to you when you come back,
and I'll never set foot
in this place again.
I'll give it all to you, Mom.
And I won't even look back as I leave.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure to get everything back.
You look so comfortable.
You must be at ease.
What took you so long? You're my partner.
You should've come sooner.
I missed you so much.
I was pondering whether
I should call you or not.
Getting attached to
others can be dangerous.
Don't you think?
I didn't know bonds between
people meant so much to you.
I suppose that's why you
bonded with the victims
before you killed them.
- Me? - Han Jeong Im.
Yoo Jae Yi's mother.
I saw the missing persons flyer for her
that you put up on the
wall in your basement.
You made them let their
guards down and killed them.
That stupid bond was a trap.
The word "trap" reminds me of something.
You see, I had so much time
while being locked up in here,
so I've been thinking about it.
About the woman,
the owner of the cloned phone.
That woman is a trap you set, right?
Did she know that you pushed her
to her death?
Reporter Im,
we're dealing with such a big crisis.
It was the information on an arrest
without a warrant that was leaked.
You happened to see it
while passing by? Come on.
I heard everything from
the restaurant owner.
I know you ran out of the
restaurant while eating.
Which team leaked it? Just give me a hint.
I'll make sure to keep
the rest confidential
- What are you doing? - Pardon me?
Mr. Jung and Mr. Park told me to
find out who leaked the information.
Hang up.
- Ma'am. - I said, hang up.
It doesn't make sense to waste
time on a phone call for that reason.
Who is your immediate supervisor?
Whose order do you put first?
Do you want to leave this team?
I hung up.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It makes no sense. I
simply can't understand it.
Why? Did they tell you to
find out who the mole is too?
A mole?
No, it's not like that.
Someone came to see Dong Sik.
And that person is Mr. Kang Jin Mook.
The missing Kang Min Jung's father.
What?
You lost so much weight.
It's been only a few days,
but you got much thinner.
Did you get some sleep?
You must not have slept well
because your back hurt
while sleeping on the floor.
This is This is jangjorim.
I made it for you.
When they When they let you eat later,
ask them for this and And eat it.
You made
jangjorim for me?
How did you even think to do that?
I know that Min Jung will come back.
I don't
I don't want to see you lose your health.
- Don't you know why I'm here? - I know.
- Then why would you do this? - I know you.
It wasn't you. I'm sure of it.
How can you be so sure?
Dong Sik.
It wasn't you. I just know.
I'll leave it with someone
here. Don't forget to eat it.
Take it back. You eat it.
We're done. You can let him out.
Jin Mook.
Don't skip your meals.
Make sure to eat well.
Sleep well and don't forget
to take your medication.
What do you mean by that?
Why must we release Lee Dong
Sik? It hasn't been 48 hours yet.
Mr. Kang Jin Mook,
the father of the victim Kang Min Jung
wrote this petition.
If the victim's family
turned in a petition,
you should try to figure out
how to keep him here longer.
(Hello, dear respected police officers.)
"Please let Dong Sik go right now."
Has this person lost his mind?
He doesn't even know
if his daughter is alive.
How can he ask us to release the suspect?
The thing is, Lee Dong Sik and
Kang Jin Mook are like a family.
Even so, they're not related by blood.
He wants the man who did that to
his child to be free? How ridiculous.
We can't be sure that Lee
Dong Sik is the one who did it.
And arresting him was a hasty decision.
Ms. Oh.
How could you say that as the team leader?
We can't even apply for an
arrest warrant in this situation.
We'll have to let him go
in a few hours anyway.
I can't believe you two are saying
we should let him go just like that!
We'll let him go for now and start
the investigation all over again.
Since his photos were taken,
if we release him now,
people will think that we made a mistake
and arrested an innocent man,
an officer at that.
If Lee Dong Sik really is guilty,
and we found that out later,
people would bash us for letting
him go before 48 hours passed!
Who will take responsibility for that?
Not even 1 minute before 48 hours.
Find anything. Do everything
you can before saying such a thing!
I'm practically family. It won't take long.
Please forgive my rudeness,
sir. I have something urgent to tell you.
- Park Jeong Je.
- You're Councilwoman Do's son.
I mean, you're Inspector Park Jeong Je
from the investigation assistance team.
I should have told you this sooner,
but I had so much to think about
that I missed the right timing.
Mr. Park and Ms. Oh,
you two also should hear this.
I made a big mistake.
What kind of mistake is it to
make you come all the way here?
You must release Officer
Lee Dong Sik immediately.
Even you're saying that too?
Officer Lee didn't do it.
That night when Kang Min Jung went missing,
Officer Lee was with me.
What What?
Hey, your mother I mean,
does Councilwoman Do know
that you did such a crazy thing?
I'm going to tell her.
I know you've been working
only at the central records unit.
Still, this is absurd!
If Kang Min Jung is found dead,
and this case remains unsolved,
you'll be held responsible
for interfering with
the initial investigation.
I can write up the statement
in your office, right?
What do you think you're doing?
Confessing a little too late out of guilt.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you, at least.
But they said they found
Min Jung's bloodstain,
so I thought I couldn't hear him
because I fell into a deep sleep.
You fell asleep in the living
room of Dong Sik's house,
but you were afraid that
you didn't hear him go out.
That's why you hesitated to say anything.
You already said all that inside.
Do you think I asked because I
wanted to hear you say that again?
I get why you're upset.
That's right. I doubted Dong Sik.
But no matter how hard
I think You know it too.
You know how the door of
his house creaks really loudly.
It would have woken me up instantly.
But I,
his best friend, doubted him.
That's not my point!
What you're doing right now
is exactly the same as what you did
when Yu Yeon went missing.
How will you prove you
were with Dong Sik that night?
Do you have a witness?
Dong Sik is my witness.
Just like back then,
the only witness of your
statement is Lee Dong Sik.
But why didn't he say that he was with you?
He didn't say that back then too.
Because it's the exact
same situation as back then.
He probably kept his mouth
shut so that I wouldn't get involved.
Come on, let's go.
I should write up the statement
so that Dong Sik can be released.
I apologize.
My son suddenly meddled in.
What's wrong, Councilwoman Do?
I'm sure your son didn't
make a false statement.
Of course not. He would never do that.
Well, it'd have been
better if I was informed first.
I couldn't call you because it
might cause a misunderstanding.
You're right. It's been really long.
Chairman Lee, you haven't changed at all.
This place is pretty nice.
The halibut sashimi is
chewy. It must be wild halibut.
I hope you'll have as much as you want
since you came all the
way here to have a meal.
What a load of nonsense.
I'm not here for a meal.
Is anyone among us here for a meal?
What are you saying, Chairman Lee?
Exactly.
I'm here to meet my dear friends
whom I haven't seen for a while.
Dear friends? As if.
Everyone is up to something.
That's why we needed each other.
Gosh, Chairman Lee!
Goodness, let's stop being so pretentious.
You two were picking at the food
because you had no appetite either.
Let's show our cards
and just get this over with.
I really need the redevelopment
plan to go through this time.
Don't you know how much I invested in it?
If it falls through again
because of a murder case or whatnot,
just like 20 years ago,
I might go bust.
The thing is,
the local residents of Munju
have been waiting for 20 years
for this redevelopment
plan to be carried out.
If it falls through again,
it could cause an uproar
in the local communities.
The entire city could fall into the abyss.
Enough of your nonsense.
You mean the possibility of
you becoming the mayor
will fall into the abyss.
- What about you, Chief Han?
- I'm not sure.
It's been quite a while since I left Munju.
So I'm not sure how the
redevelopment will do me any good.
I heard your son's number
was found on some cloned phone.
I'm not interested in knowing,
so don't bother telling me.
If the missing persons case
gets out of the limelight,
then your son's involvement
will be forgotten too.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I'm saying that you shouldn't
worry about your promotion.
Your only son won't leave
a stain on his life either.
I'll help you sleep without worry,
so I'm asking the police
to cooperate with the redevelopment plan.
Stop them from investigating
any serial murder cases!
I'm begging you.
The local residents are
very much looking forward
to the redevelopment.
Fervent protectors of citizens.
The highest one among them,
the future Commissioner General,
will justly answer to their wish.
Am I right?
Okay.
I'll get to work then.
Get started on Ms. K.
Chairman Lee.
What are you planning to do?
We should be aware of it too.
Go home and watch the news.
It's big enough to be on the news?
Will it take long then?
But Lee Dong Sik will be released soon.
So what if he gets
released? What can he do?
So you don't want us to be concerned?
Don't worry about those worthless ones.
Focus on the wild halibut.
Chew it well, okay?
Go on.
- What's this? - Drink it.
Darn it. Why didn't you get me tofu?
Who eats tofu these days?
You only spent one
night in the holding cell.
My back was all sore.
If you were going to lie,
what took you so long?
Lie? What, me?
I was with you that night.
What will you do if I'm the real culprit?
Do you trust me?
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.
- Come in. - Welcome.
Hello.
Why don't we go to Jae Yi's?
She already set the table for us.
Let's just eat here. Sit, sit.
Granny! Get us two bowls of seolleongtang.
Make it a double!
You crazy jerk.
Why would I serve seollongtang to you?
You bastard! Get out of here now!
Why do you keep tormenting
the people of our town?
What ill-fated relationship must we have?
You killed a girl 20 years ago
and ruined the redevelopment of the city.
They want to build new apartments
in the city you ruined.
Then you killed another girl?
And why did you appear again?
Will you take responsibility
if the land value drops?
- My, he's so shameless. - I know!
- How dare he come here? - Exactly.
Get out. I have nothing
to give to a murderer like you.
- Get out! Get out of here! - Granny! Stop!
- Get out! I said, get out!
- Granny, come on!
Why would you throw
that precious salt on a guy like me?
I'll leave,
so don't throw it. It's a waste.
- Get out right now! - Stop it, will you?
Stay healthy, Granny.
We're leaving!
Are you okay?
It's salty and nice.
You crazy idiot.
He's having fun?
How can he laugh?
- You're here. - It smells so good!
I'll take these.
What are you doing? We're
going to have dinner. Stop it.
I'll clean up and head over.
Never mind. Give it to me.
Sit down.
Eat the tofu while watching TV.
What's this?
(Ms. Kang, the victim,
not a college student but a hostess)
She was famous for it
since she was in high school.
You know the girls that
rich kids or celebrities call
when they hang out at a club.
They go to second rounds as well.
I remember seeing her at
the matriculation ceremony,
but I've never seen her
on campus since then.
Many kids said they saw her at clubs.
She has many partners too.
I heard she also worked at hostess bars.
Why are they airing such interviews?
It wasn't pleasant to have our
school mentioned on the news.
I didn't want to be judged as
belonging to the same group.
Didn't she just run away from home?
I hear she never came home.
Because this town is being redeveloped,
there aren't many
security cameras installed.
- I'm sure she just ran away.
- That's not who Min Jung is.
What's wrong with them?
Why are they saying that?
What nonsense are they spewing?
Do we have to just sit by
watching them look for a girl like her?
On the 24th of last month,
a college student went missing.
The police stated that
That's just
I'm sorry.
I'm
I'm so
I'm so sorry.
Min Jung.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Come in, Inspector Han.
(Missing Person)
You put them up again.
That's not like you, Inspector Han.
It doesn't hurt to be careful.
The death of Inspector Lee Sang
Yeob that occurred three years ago.
I also heard that you're
the one who killed him
when you were his partner.
Lee Sang Yeob?
The gun
What are you sorry for?
You kidnapped and killed her.
You even cut off her 10 fingers.
Are you sorry now that she is
being ripped apart by the press?
Yes.
That's the reason.
If I said that,
it would have sounded like
I was making a confession.
Right?
Are you recording this on your phone?
What's wrong with you, Inspector Han?
A coerced confession
is null and void in court.
You must know that.
A coerced confession? What did I do?
Didn't you hear there's
a security camera
installed there when
they searched this place?
I can just get rid of it.
You're going to manipulate it?
But the footage is being
sent to my phone in real-time.
Where is my phone?
Were you that desperate
to get my confession?
Right, I get you.
There's no other way
than for me to confess.
Because I have a perfect alibi now.
Park Jeong Je.
You think that's perfect?
Of course. It was also
perfect 20 years ago.
Why do you think Lee Yu Yeon
and Bang Ju Seon's cases
remained unsolved?
There was no crucial evidence,
and when I came up with a perfect alibi,
it was over.
They couldn't prove the alibi wrong then,
and they won't be able
to prove this one wrong.
That means you can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
Han Jeong Im. The missing
case from 10 years ago.
Do you think there's evidence?
She's just one of the many
missing people in this country.
Is she even a missing person?
There are so many people who
run away from home and never return.
Oh, right.
The cloned phone!
Her identity can't be revealed.
Not for me, but for you, Inspector Han.
Okay! What should Inspector Han do now?
Should he shoot me?
You've never shot anyone, have you?
You should aim for the heart or the head.
It's harder than you think.
If I make it out alive,
you're going to ruin
your life and your father's,
who was going to become
the next Commissioner General.
Go on. Think of it as practice.
Thank you for everything, Inspector Han.
Why do you think Lee Yu Yeon
and Bang Ju Seon's cases
remained unsolved?
There was no crucial evidence,
and when I came up with a perfect alibi,
it was over.
(Missing Person)
Han Jeong Im. The missing
case from 10 years ago.
Do you think there's evidence?
She's just one of the many
missing people in this country.
Oh, right.
The cloned phone!
About the woman,
the owner of the cloned phone.
That woman is a trap you set, right?
Did she know that you pushed her
to her death?
Inspector Han, you're a lucky man.
Because I think you'll go back
to where you belong.
Min Jung
I'm so sorry.
That means you can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
You can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
You can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
(Ms. Kang, the victim,
not a college student but a hostess)
Oh Ji Hun, are you out of your mind?
Did you tip off the
reporters about the arrest?
Yes, I did.
Why did you do that?
Did you want them to know
Dong Sik was the suspect?
Yes.
That's what I wanted.
Why? Why would you want that?
Are you watching the news right now?
My goodness,
what on earth is Inspector Han doing?
Are you saying there are more victims?
More victims other
than the college student?
Yes,
the college student isn't the only victim.
Nine months ago, Foreign Affairs
confirmed that three more victims
were killed with the same MO.
Recently, in Munju
one more victim was found and
the case showed the same MO.
And there are two more victims
who are either missing or killed.
The victims we could
confirm with their body parts
are seven in total including
the college student.
- And they're all female.
- The victims you could confirm?
Are you saying there could be more victims?
In our country,
about 60,000 adults go missing
every year.
And every year,
about 1,000 missing person cases
remain unsolved until today.
The accumulated number of
unsolved cases for the last five years
is more than 5,000.
And
we cannot rule out the possibility
that there are more victims
whose body parts weren't found.
What exactly do you mean?
More victims whose
body parts weren't found?
Why are you talking about
missing person cases?
The first case with the
same MO occurred in 2000.
The killings haven't
stopped for the last 20 years.
It's highly possible that
they're serial murder cases.
- Serial murder cases? - Serial murders?
Are you sure it's been
going on for 20 years?
Are you certain of what you've just said?
(Han Ju Won raises the possibility
of serial murders in Munju.)
(20 years of serial murders,
7 victims confirmed, all female)
(Possibility of more victims,
Among 1,000 missing adults)
Inspector Han.
Was that a self-destruct?
Well
I want things to go back to normal.
You said so yourself.
That I'll go back to where I belong.
So here it goes.
I'm kind of in a hurry.
Do you remember what you said?
"Does it really matter"
Does it really matter
who put them back?
"who put them back?"
Of course it matters. So why
doesn't it matter to you?
Kang Min Jung.
Lee Geum Hwa.
Yeo Chun Ok.
Wi Sun Hee, Jin Hwa Lim,
and possibly Han Jeong Im.
And there are more missing persons too.
Bang Ju Seon and Lee Yu Yeon.
Who killed them?
Who is the person you're covering up for?
(Beyond Evil)
Your father is cutting off his
tail to avoid getting in a mess.
He just cut his son off in a pinch.
Father.
Unlike you.
Dong Sik, are you sure you didn't kill
Min Jung?
The one who killed Min Jung.
I know it's not you.
Officer Lee.
You love to abide by the law and principle.
Can you throw it all away?
Your precious son, Park Jeong Je.
If I let him go, it'll be the end of him.
So tell me.
Tell me, Lee Dong Sik.
(All characters,
organizations, locations, )
(and incidents in this
drama are fictional.)
Darn it.
What on earth is going on?
(Head of Munju Police Station,
Jung Cheol Mun)
Section Chief Park,
is this how you take care of business?
Is it so hard for you to
supervise your people?
There's no evidence
that my people leaked it.
Am I supposed to believe that nonsense?
We arrested him without a warrant
because we didn't want a leak.
And the other teams couldn't have known.
Someone from VCU must've leaked it.
The reporters aren't camped
out at the back entrance.
We'll cover him up and bring
him in through the back door.
What about the reporters
camped out in the hallway?
What if the reporters
take pictures of him
and the news says we arrested
an officer as an abduction suspect?
Yes, and without a warrant at that.
How will they even know
Lee Dong Sik is an officer?
You told us to arrest him right away.
We had no time to let him get changed.
So Lee Dong Sik is in a police uniform.
- What? - What?
Which jerk leaked it?
Do Su.
Go get a blanket. I should cover myself up.
You are under arrest right now.
So quiet down.
There's no one at the back door.
Let's just go in quickly.
I can't take you in by myself.
I should wait for Ji Hwa.
The reporters will be at
the back door in no time.
Will you be okay with it?
What's that?
What on earth are they doing
in the police chief's office?
- Come quick. - Yes, sir.
Get in!
Hey, stop them.
- You can't come in here. - Wait.
Slowly. Slowly.
Bring him right now. Come on. Quickly.
You take him now.
- He's a police officer.
- Take his pictures!
Who is he? He's an officer, right?
Is he a suspect in the missing
case of the female college student?
Is the suspect an officer?
Did the officer abduct her?
Stop taking pictures!
Chief?
What is this?
Is this the only piece of evidence?
(Beyond Evil)
(Episode 4: Cry)
(Police officer arrest as a suspect
in the Munju missing persons case)
Cheif.
You're here.
What are you doing?
Are the officers from Manyang
Substation having a party in here?
I didn't ask him to come.
Inspector Han, you can't barge
in when it's not your jurisdiction.
Get out.
You should leave too.
Why aren't you leaving?
We could have a case because
Inspector Han tipped us off.
So let him in the observation room.
It doesn't matter whose
jurisdiction it is anymore, is that it?
Nobody cares about the rules anymore.
Way to go.
You must've run over as fast as you could.
But we're about to watch
him mess things up for us.
- Is he remaining silent?
- Remaining silent?
I'd be glad if that were the case.
What is that nut trying to do?
Ttaengttaengmyeon.
What?
The ramyeon brand. The regular kind,
not the cup noodles.
You've been watching
it for the last 10 minutes.
And all you came up with is
ramyeon in the plastic bag?
There's no harm in being thorough.
Don't you think so?
Officer Lee,
does everything seem like a joke to you?
Why would I think it's a joke?
I don't know anything about
this. Why would you ask me that?
You should ask Inspector Han.
It's the cloned phone you found
Inspector Han's number on, isn't it?
So you're saying
I put the phone in this plastic
bag and went up the mountain.
But the security camera
caught me. Is that it?
Maybe you guys have X-ray vision.
Does the VCU teach you
how to develop superpowers?
All right. Let's say what's
inside the bag is ramyeon.
Why did you bring it with you?
Were you going to cook
ramyeon up on the mountain?
Is that why you wrapped it
up nicely in a plastic bag?
Are you training your men properly?
I've never seen an officer
with such little law-abiding spirit.
What did you just say?
I was going up the mountain.
So how can I cook ramyeon up there?
I would need a portable
gas stove and butane gas.
Isn't it illegal to use flammable
materials in the mountains?
Why would I break the
law to eat ramyeon there?
Do Su,
you really need some law-abiding spirit.
You're under arrest for
abduction and malicious wounding.
But you're talking about
a law-abiding spirit?
Of course. A police officer must
follow the law. Isn't this the law?
Are you saying we don't
have to obey this kind of law?
Pull yourself together. Many
a mickle makes a muckle.
A journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step.
Gosh. That darn "many a mickle".
I've heard about him,
but he really is a total nut case.
Listen, Dong Sik. I used to look up to you.
You started from a police
substation in such a remote area
and made it to the Regional
Investigation Unit in Seoul
Kang Do Su.
Gosh.
Thank you for your compliment.
If you weren't going to cook it,
why did you take it there?
A raw ramyeon snack.
Don't you know what that is?
A snack made with uncooked ramyeon
noodles mixed with the soup powder.
Ttaengttaengmyeon is perfect
for a raw ramyeon snack.
Oh,
no. I guess he doesn't know that either.
Do Su.
Why do you think I told you
the exact product name
of the ramyeon I was carrying?
To make it easier for you guys
to check if I actually bought it?
That's one of the reasons.
Since I'm a police officer just like you,
I don't want you to waste your
time investigating the wrong man.
But of course, that's not the only reason.
I must not let you doubt
what I say even just a little.
Oh, right.
Am I speaking too fast?
Do Su, your typing speed is
still under 200 keystrokes per minute,
right?
All right. I'll repeat what I
said but slowly this time.
So the reason why I mean,
Officer, the reason why
I revealed the exact product
name of the ramyeon is
You're saying you said it because
you didn't want us to suspect you?
Do Su, what distinguishes
Ttaengttaengmyeon from others?
It has the thinnest noodles
among all ramyeon products.
A raw ramyeon snack is better with thin,
crispy noodles.
Imagine that I went up to the
mountain with thick noodles.
That would be pure comedy.
That's why I clearly told you
it was Ttaengttaengmyeon
Gosh, that stupid Ttaengttaengmyeon.
Stop spewing nonsense.
Do you think we arrested
you without a warrant
just to hear you chattering
about ramyeon noodles?
Do Su, what's wrong?
Do you not like ramyeon?
Lee Dong Sik, that's enough.
Enough?
Well, if you say so. Okay.
If that was too much Then
What else should I talk about
other than noodle quality?
How about screen quality?
Noodle quality, screen quality.
That was a good one.
Did I look okay on the screen?
Police officers exposed
the man they arrested without a warrant
in front of reporters,
who took photos of the suspect.
They revealed the identity
of a suspect they hadn't
proved to be guilty
to the whole world.
Do you like stories like this?
Don't let him sway you and move on.
Why did you go to Mount Simju
with Ttaengttaengmyeon that morning?
To eat a raw ramyeon snack.
That's not what I asked.
Why did you go up to the mountain?
You know
that I always go hiking to
Mount Simju on my day off.
You know that.
Inspector Oh Ji Hwa, you know that.
You went hiking because
it was your day off?
When Kang Min Jung who's
like your own niece went missing?
It would've been weird if I
hadn't done what I usually do.
Is it weird for me to do what I always do?
So what's your answer?
Do you know it or not?
Are you going to
confirm that fact for me or not?
I'm well aware
that Officer Lee goes hiking
to Mount Simju on his days off.
But Dong Sik, I don't know about this.
Why was there Min Jung's blood
in the basement of your house?
Blood? Min Jung's blood?
How would I know that?
I mean, Min Jung came to my
house whenever she wanted.
Maybe she went to the basement
and got pricked by something.
Why did you clean the basement?
You cleaned thoroughly using
bleach and some other detergents
as if you had to get rid
of your traces completely.
Are you saying that I dragged
Min Jung to my basement
to cut off her fingers
and murder her?
And in order to remove all the evidence
of cutting off her fingers and killing her,
I cleaned the basement
using bleach after the murder?
Come on. Stop acting like an amateur.
I cut off Min Jung's
fingers in my basement,
and cleaned the place to get
rid of her splattered blood
using bleach and some other detergents?
If that's true,
why is this the only bloodstain you found?
Don't tell me you think that
all the bloodstains were gone
because I cleaned the
basement using bleach.
Are you guys detectives in a drama?
Luminol can detect blood
even if you clean it with bleach.
You know that.
And you found this single drop of blood.
Are you sure this is all you found?
What? A single drop? Just
a single drop of her blood?
Sang Bae, it doesn't make sense, you know.
Min Jung is like his own family,
and she went missing.
Besides,
he was the one who found her 10 fingers.
Then why would he
thoroughly clean his basement
even using bleach and detergents?
Gosh. "Thoroughly", my foot.
If he thoroughly cleaned it,
there should've been no blood at all.
If he had cut all the 10 fingers in there,
there must've been
blood all over the place.
You're not making any sense.
Did you really arrest him because
of that single drop of blood?
But we did find blood that
belongs to the missing person.
He was caught on the security camera
that he installed by himself
cleaning the basement.
I'm glad you brought that up.
Did you see him cutting off
her fingers in that footage?
Is there any sign that Dong
Sik deleted the footage?
We couldn't find anything like that, but
What kind of crazy psycho
would install a security camera,
murder a person in front of that camera,
and clean the place to
get rid of the evidence?
- Are you serious? - Gosh.
That means he didn't cut off
her fingers in his basement.
- What did you say?
- He did it at another place.
Is there any place you
think he might've done it?
A place where it wouldn't be strange
to see blood everywhere
and to use a knife or a saw
(Manyang Butcher Shop)

(Search and Seizure Warrant)
(Search item: Any tools that
can damage a human body)
(Judge Han Seung Beom)
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
Hey, didn't something
happen at that store in the past?
The same thing happened back then.
Oh, gosh. What's going on?
Oh, I see that the owner
is still running that store.
Let's just keep going.
- Has it been long?
- Didn't she tell you anything?
What's going on there?
It's been closed for a while.
I heard that the woman who
ran that store packed up and left.
That girl's father died not long ago.
Could her mom have met another man?
- She left with another man?
- Quiet down. She might hear us.
What do you think you're doing now?
Did it make you this mad that we're
rummaging through the butcher shop?
Butcher shop?
Ms. Yoo,
you're angry because your butcher shop
is being searched and seized.
I guess you're doing this
because it made you angry
that your store got
involved in a murder case.
But you can't take that anger out on me.
You should rather blame
yourself for being friends
with someone like Lee Dong Sik.
Hey, stop it. Okay?
Ms. Yoo!
Jae Yi! What are you doing?
- Jae Yi, did you lose your mind?
- My goodness!
Gosh.
Here. Oh, my. Look at this.
What are you doing? Are you taking photos?
- Delete that right now.
- I didn't take any.
Delete the photo.
- I deleted it. - We deleted it.
What on earth did he do to
make her do something like that?
- Tell me about it. - Seriously.
Let's go.
What? Are you annoyed?
Come on, it's just some eggs.
- You can just wash it off. - Jae Yi.
Are you annoyed that
people are talking about you?
It's nothing compared to what you did.
You stigmatized an innocent person.
This person will be
stigmatized as a criminal for life.
And you're annoyed
by just some eggs?
Are you saying
I stigmatized Lee Dong Sik,
who is an innocent man?
You're putting on a show, obviously.
Are you saying this is just a show?
Ms. Yoo, is life so easy for you?
I envy the world you live in.
The world where some show
can easily make turn an
innocent man into a criminal
and make everyone believe you.
If that lame world of yours
and your prejudice
are the only reason why
I have to be egged now,
it means you disregard the
entire Korean police force.
You know you're being overly dramatic now.
You'd better cut it out here
unless you want to be completely done for.
Hey.
Do it then!
Let me see
what you find too. Please.
Hey.
Can't you knock?
Why would I?
This place is full of men.
You shouldn't be so
shy with your colleagues.
That's just not appropriate.
It's a new one.
You said you don't like using used towels.
Take this to the shower.
- I don't take showers anywhere.
- Oh, right.
I forgot that.
But what else can you do?
I can't let you go home.
As you know, Dong Sik is now arrested,
so without you,
this team will be too short-handed.
We can't let that happen.
- I'm taking some time off - Who? You?
When? I have never signed that paper.
- Sir. - Come on. Don't be like that.
There's some bleach in the bathroom.
Why don't you clean the bathroom
and wash yourself up as well?
Life isn't easy, is it?
You can't just wash up anywhere.
Goodness. Life isn't easy for any of us.
Wash up and come on out.
What are you doing?
You hate when things are dirty.
It's my car. And I'm still working now.
Just leave it. I'll take care of it.
You know, Jae Yi isn't a bad person.
She's actually a really nice person.
Instead of her,
I'll wash your car and do anything
- to make you feel better, so
- Officer Oh.
Why would you do that?
Are you stupid? Are you a pushover?
Why are you doing this?
Well, it's just
You don't seem to
understand what's going on.
Don't make me laugh.
I don't understand what's going on?
You're the one who doesn't understand.
You also said Lee Dong
Sik was a good person.
If he's such a nice person,
why would he do this?
If he really is a nice person,
why would he do something like this?
You provoked them.
Like some cold rice in a bowl,
the people here have been
stuck in this stupid village.
And you provoked those people.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't
have washed your car.
Let's go out on patrol.
You're going to drive, right?
This is not the place.
There are a lot of bloodstains,
but most of them are animals' blood.
Most of them?
But this knife.
A woman's blood was found on
the wooden handle of the knife.
Not only was the bloodstain
old but it also was highly likely
to have been contaminated,
so I didn't expect much from it,
but we managed to extract its DNA.
And we even found a
match from our database.
- Here. Take a look at this.
- Han Jeong Im.
How did you know?
(The DNA from the above item matches
that of the missing Han Jeong Im.)
Han Jeong Im?
Is this all we've got?
This means we're totally
doomed thanks to someone.
Keep looking. But it won't change
the fact that that's all we've got.
Anyway, we found a woman's DNA.
It's not Kang Min Jung's.
And it's just a tiny
bloodstain on the handle.
What can we do about it?
This means Manyang
Butcher Shop is irrelevant.
You arrested him without a warrant,
and your 48 hours are almost over.
If you don't have any
evidence to get the warrant,
you need to at least get
Lee Dong Sik's confession.
I heard that punk has the
cops in the palm of his hands.
Once it gets out that Dong Sik is freed,
the arrest has been canceled,
and there's been a mistake in
the search and seizure warrant
That's not the problem.
The problem is we might miss a criminal.
You're upset. This is not like you.
Why are you even angry?
The ones who should
be angry are your father,
who believed you and decided
to arrest him without a warrant,
and me, who issued the warrant.
We were totally fooled by you.
Han Ju Won.
Stay off this case.
- Hyeok.
- And I'm saying this for your sake.
I know you graduated
at the top of your class,
and I understand you want to
continue your winning streak
as a police officer as you have been,
but we're not in school.
The world doesn't always go your way,
young man.
I mean, look at your face.
Let your father and I
take care of this case.
Get some rest.

(Manyang Butcher Shop)
My mom said earlier
that the cops were here this afternoon.
Here? Again?
This area must be cursed.
- There's something about this area.
- It's so spooky.
- Why did you take a photo? - I'm scared.
(Missing Person)
(Han Jeong Im, female, age 42,
165cm, 55kg, dark brown curly hair)
I'll get everything back.
Just as they were when you disappeared,
Mom,
I'll get them all back.
I'll give it all to you when you come back,
and I'll never set foot
in this place again.
I'll give it all to you, Mom.
And I won't even look back as I leave.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure to get everything back.
You look so comfortable.
You must be at ease.
What took you so long? You're my partner.
You should've come sooner.
I missed you so much.
I was pondering whether
I should call you or not.
Getting attached to
others can be dangerous.
Don't you think?
I didn't know bonds between
people meant so much to you.
I suppose that's why you
bonded with the victims
before you killed them.
- Me? - Han Jeong Im.
Yoo Jae Yi's mother.
I saw the missing persons flyer for her
that you put up on the
wall in your basement.
You made them let their
guards down and killed them.
That stupid bond was a trap.
The word "trap" reminds me of something.
You see, I had so much time
while being locked up in here,
so I've been thinking about it.
About the woman,
the owner of the cloned phone.
That woman is a trap you set, right?
Did she know that you pushed her
to her death?
Reporter Im,
we're dealing with such a big crisis.
It was the information on an arrest
without a warrant that was leaked.
You happened to see it
while passing by? Come on.
I heard everything from
the restaurant owner.
I know you ran out of the
restaurant while eating.
Which team leaked it? Just give me a hint.
I'll make sure to keep
the rest confidential
- What are you doing? - Pardon me?
Mr. Jung and Mr. Park told me to
find out who leaked the information.
Hang up.
- Ma'am. - I said, hang up.
It doesn't make sense to waste
time on a phone call for that reason.
Who is your immediate supervisor?
Whose order do you put first?
Do you want to leave this team?
I hung up.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It makes no sense. I
simply can't understand it.
Why? Did they tell you to
find out who the mole is too?
A mole?
No, it's not like that.
Someone came to see Dong Sik.
And that person is Mr. Kang Jin Mook.
The missing Kang Min Jung's father.
What?
You lost so much weight.
It's been only a few days,
but you got much thinner.
Did you get some sleep?
You must not have slept well
because your back hurt
while sleeping on the floor.
This is This is jangjorim.
I made it for you.
When they When they let you eat later,
ask them for this and And eat it.
You made
jangjorim for me?
How did you even think to do that?
I know that Min Jung will come back.
I don't
I don't want to see you lose your health.
- Don't you know why I'm here? - I know.
- Then why would you do this? - I know you.
It wasn't you. I'm sure of it.
How can you be so sure?
Dong Sik.
It wasn't you. I just know.
I'll leave it with someone
here. Don't forget to eat it.
Take it back. You eat it.
We're done. You can let him out.
Jin Mook.
Don't skip your meals.
Make sure to eat well.
Sleep well and don't forget
to take your medication.
What do you mean by that?
Why must we release Lee Dong
Sik? It hasn't been 48 hours yet.
Mr. Kang Jin Mook,
the father of the victim Kang Min Jung
wrote this petition.
If the victim's family
turned in a petition,
you should try to figure out
how to keep him here longer.
(Hello, dear respected police officers.)
"Please let Dong Sik go right now."
Has this person lost his mind?
He doesn't even know
if his daughter is alive.
How can he ask us to release the suspect?
The thing is, Lee Dong Sik and
Kang Jin Mook are like a family.
Even so, they're not related by blood.
He wants the man who did that to
his child to be free? How ridiculous.
We can't be sure that Lee
Dong Sik is the one who did it.
And arresting him was a hasty decision.
Ms. Oh.
How could you say that as the team leader?
We can't even apply for an
arrest warrant in this situation.
We'll have to let him go
in a few hours anyway.
I can't believe you two are saying
we should let him go just like that!
We'll let him go for now and start
the investigation all over again.
Since his photos were taken,
if we release him now,
people will think that we made a mistake
and arrested an innocent man,
an officer at that.
If Lee Dong Sik really is guilty,
and we found that out later,
people would bash us for letting
him go before 48 hours passed!
Who will take responsibility for that?
Not even 1 minute before 48 hours.
Find anything. Do everything
you can before saying such a thing!
I'm practically family. It won't take long.
Please forgive my rudeness,
sir. I have something urgent to tell you.
- Park Jeong Je.
- You're Councilwoman Do's son.
I mean, you're Inspector Park Jeong Je
from the investigation assistance team.
I should have told you this sooner,
but I had so much to think about
that I missed the right timing.
Mr. Park and Ms. Oh,
you two also should hear this.
I made a big mistake.
What kind of mistake is it to
make you come all the way here?
You must release Officer
Lee Dong Sik immediately.
Even you're saying that too?
Officer Lee didn't do it.
That night when Kang Min Jung went missing,
Officer Lee was with me.
What What?
Hey, your mother I mean,
does Councilwoman Do know
that you did such a crazy thing?
I'm going to tell her.
I know you've been working
only at the central records unit.
Still, this is absurd!
If Kang Min Jung is found dead,
and this case remains unsolved,
you'll be held responsible
for interfering with
the initial investigation.
I can write up the statement
in your office, right?
What do you think you're doing?
Confessing a little too late out of guilt.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you, at least.
But they said they found
Min Jung's bloodstain,
so I thought I couldn't hear him
because I fell into a deep sleep.
You fell asleep in the living
room of Dong Sik's house,
but you were afraid that
you didn't hear him go out.
That's why you hesitated to say anything.
You already said all that inside.
Do you think I asked because I
wanted to hear you say that again?
I get why you're upset.
That's right. I doubted Dong Sik.
But no matter how hard
I think You know it too.
You know how the door of
his house creaks really loudly.
It would have woken me up instantly.
But I,
his best friend, doubted him.
That's not my point!
What you're doing right now
is exactly the same as what you did
when Yu Yeon went missing.
How will you prove you
were with Dong Sik that night?
Do you have a witness?
Dong Sik is my witness.
Just like back then,
the only witness of your
statement is Lee Dong Sik.
But why didn't he say that he was with you?
He didn't say that back then too.
Because it's the exact
same situation as back then.
He probably kept his mouth
shut so that I wouldn't get involved.
Come on, let's go.
I should write up the statement
so that Dong Sik can be released.
I apologize.
My son suddenly meddled in.
What's wrong, Councilwoman Do?
I'm sure your son didn't
make a false statement.
Of course not. He would never do that.
Well, it'd have been
better if I was informed first.
I couldn't call you because it
might cause a misunderstanding.
You're right. It's been really long.
Chairman Lee, you haven't changed at all.
This place is pretty nice.
The halibut sashimi is
chewy. It must be wild halibut.
I hope you'll have as much as you want
since you came all the
way here to have a meal.
What a load of nonsense.
I'm not here for a meal.
Is anyone among us here for a meal?
What are you saying, Chairman Lee?
Exactly.
I'm here to meet my dear friends
whom I haven't seen for a while.
Dear friends? As if.
Everyone is up to something.
That's why we needed each other.
Gosh, Chairman Lee!
Goodness, let's stop being so pretentious.
You two were picking at the food
because you had no appetite either.
Let's show our cards
and just get this over with.
I really need the redevelopment
plan to go through this time.
Don't you know how much I invested in it?
If it falls through again
because of a murder case or whatnot,
just like 20 years ago,
I might go bust.
The thing is,
the local residents of Munju
have been waiting for 20 years
for this redevelopment
plan to be carried out.
If it falls through again,
it could cause an uproar
in the local communities.
The entire city could fall into the abyss.
Enough of your nonsense.
You mean the possibility of
you becoming the mayor
will fall into the abyss.
- What about you, Chief Han?
- I'm not sure.
It's been quite a while since I left Munju.
So I'm not sure how the
redevelopment will do me any good.
I heard your son's number
was found on some cloned phone.
I'm not interested in knowing,
so don't bother telling me.
If the missing persons case
gets out of the limelight,
then your son's involvement
will be forgotten too.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I'm saying that you shouldn't
worry about your promotion.
Your only son won't leave
a stain on his life either.
I'll help you sleep without worry,
so I'm asking the police
to cooperate with the redevelopment plan.
Stop them from investigating
any serial murder cases!
I'm begging you.
The local residents are
very much looking forward
to the redevelopment.
Fervent protectors of citizens.
The highest one among them,
the future Commissioner General,
will justly answer to their wish.
Am I right?
Okay.
I'll get to work then.
Get started on Ms. K.
Chairman Lee.
What are you planning to do?
We should be aware of it too.
Go home and watch the news.
It's big enough to be on the news?
Will it take long then?
But Lee Dong Sik will be released soon.
So what if he gets
released? What can he do?
So you don't want us to be concerned?
Don't worry about those worthless ones.
Focus on the wild halibut.
Chew it well, okay?
Go on.
- What's this? - Drink it.
Darn it. Why didn't you get me tofu?
Who eats tofu these days?
You only spent one
night in the holding cell.
My back was all sore.
If you were going to lie,
what took you so long?
Lie? What, me?
I was with you that night.
What will you do if I'm the real culprit?
Do you trust me?
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.
- Come in. - Welcome.
Hello.
Why don't we go to Jae Yi's?
She already set the table for us.
Let's just eat here. Sit, sit.
Granny! Get us two bowls of seolleongtang.
Make it a double!
You crazy jerk.
Why would I serve seollongtang to you?
You bastard! Get out of here now!
Why do you keep tormenting
the people of our town?
What ill-fated relationship must we have?
You killed a girl 20 years ago
and ruined the redevelopment of the city.
They want to build new apartments
in the city you ruined.
Then you killed another girl?
And why did you appear again?
Will you take responsibility
if the land value drops?
- My, he's so shameless. - I know!
- How dare he come here? - Exactly.
Get out. I have nothing
to give to a murderer like you.
- Get out! Get out of here! - Granny! Stop!
- Get out! I said, get out!
- Granny, come on!
Why would you throw
that precious salt on a guy like me?
I'll leave,
so don't throw it. It's a waste.
- Get out right now! - Stop it, will you?
Stay healthy, Granny.
We're leaving!
Are you okay?
It's salty and nice.
You crazy idiot.
He's having fun?
How can he laugh?
- You're here. - It smells so good!
I'll take these.
What are you doing? We're
going to have dinner. Stop it.
I'll clean up and head over.
Never mind. Give it to me.
Sit down.
Eat the tofu while watching TV.
What's this?
(Ms. Kang, the victim,
not a college student but a hostess)
She was famous for it
since she was in high school.
You know the girls that
rich kids or celebrities call
when they hang out at a club.
They go to second rounds as well.
I remember seeing her at
the matriculation ceremony,
but I've never seen her
on campus since then.
Many kids said they saw her at clubs.
She has many partners too.
I heard she also worked at hostess bars.
Why are they airing such interviews?
It wasn't pleasant to have our
school mentioned on the news.
I didn't want to be judged as
belonging to the same group.
Didn't she just run away from home?
I hear she never came home.
Because this town is being redeveloped,
there aren't many
security cameras installed.
- I'm sure she just ran away.
- That's not who Min Jung is.
What's wrong with them?
Why are they saying that?
What nonsense are they spewing?
Do we have to just sit by
watching them look for a girl like her?
On the 24th of last month,
a college student went missing.
The police stated that
That's just
I'm sorry.
I'm
I'm so
I'm so sorry.
Min Jung.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Come in, Inspector Han.
(Missing Person)
You put them up again.
That's not like you, Inspector Han.
It doesn't hurt to be careful.
The death of Inspector Lee Sang
Yeob that occurred three years ago.
I also heard that you're
the one who killed him
when you were his partner.
Lee Sang Yeob?
The gun
What are you sorry for?
You kidnapped and killed her.
You even cut off her 10 fingers.
Are you sorry now that she is
being ripped apart by the press?
Yes.
That's the reason.
If I said that,
it would have sounded like
I was making a confession.
Right?
Are you recording this on your phone?
What's wrong with you, Inspector Han?
A coerced confession
is null and void in court.
You must know that.
A coerced confession? What did I do?
Didn't you hear there's
a security camera
installed there when
they searched this place?
I can just get rid of it.
You're going to manipulate it?
But the footage is being
sent to my phone in real-time.
Where is my phone?
Were you that desperate
to get my confession?
Right, I get you.
There's no other way
than for me to confess.
Because I have a perfect alibi now.
Park Jeong Je.
You think that's perfect?
Of course. It was also
perfect 20 years ago.
Why do you think Lee Yu Yeon
and Bang Ju Seon's cases
remained unsolved?
There was no crucial evidence,
and when I came up with a perfect alibi,
it was over.
They couldn't prove the alibi wrong then,
and they won't be able
to prove this one wrong.
That means you can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
Han Jeong Im. The missing
case from 10 years ago.
Do you think there's evidence?
She's just one of the many
missing people in this country.
Is she even a missing person?
There are so many people who
run away from home and never return.
Oh, right.
The cloned phone!
Her identity can't be revealed.
Not for me, but for you, Inspector Han.
Okay! What should Inspector Han do now?
Should he shoot me?
You've never shot anyone, have you?
You should aim for the heart or the head.
It's harder than you think.
If I make it out alive,
you're going to ruin
your life and your father's,
who was going to become
the next Commissioner General.
Go on. Think of it as practice.
Thank you for everything, Inspector Han.
Why do you think Lee Yu Yeon
and Bang Ju Seon's cases
remained unsolved?
There was no crucial evidence,
and when I came up with a perfect alibi,
it was over.
(Missing Person)
Han Jeong Im. The missing
case from 10 years ago.
Do you think there's evidence?
She's just one of the many
missing people in this country.
Oh, right.
The cloned phone!
About the woman,
the owner of the cloned phone.
That woman is a trap you set, right?
Did she know that you pushed her
to her death?
Inspector Han, you're a lucky man.
Because I think you'll go back
to where you belong.
Min Jung
I'm so sorry.
That means you can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
You can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
You can never arrest me
for the Kang Min Jung case.
(Ms. Kang, the victim,
not a college student but a hostess)
Oh Ji Hun, are you out of your mind?
Did you tip off the
reporters about the arrest?
Yes, I did.
Why did you do that?
Did you want them to know
Dong Sik was the suspect?
Yes.
That's what I wanted.
Why? Why would you want that?
Are you watching the news right now?
My goodness,
what on earth is Inspector Han doing?
Are you saying there are more victims?
More victims other
than the college student?
Yes,
the college student isn't the only victim.
Nine months ago, Foreign Affairs
confirmed that three more victims
were killed with the same MO.
Recently, in Munju
one more victim was found and
the case showed the same MO.
And there are two more victims
who are either missing or killed.
The victims we could
confirm with their body parts
are seven in total including
the college student.
- And they're all female.
- The victims you could confirm?
Are you saying there could be more victims?
In our country,
about 60,000 adults go missing
every year.
And every year,
about 1,000 missing person cases
remain unsolved until today.
The accumulated number of
unsolved cases for the last five years
is more than 5,000.
And
we cannot rule out the possibility
that there are more victims
whose body parts weren't found.
What exactly do you mean?
More victims whose
body parts weren't found?
Why are you talking about
missing person cases?
The first case with the
same MO occurred in 2000.
The killings haven't
stopped for the last 20 years.
It's highly possible that
they're serial murder cases.
- Serial murder cases? - Serial murders?
Are you sure it's been
going on for 20 years?
Are you certain of what you've just said?
(Han Ju Won raises the possibility
of serial murders in Munju.)
(20 years of serial murders,
7 victims confirmed, all female)
(Possibility of more victims,
Among 1,000 missing adults)
Inspector Han.
Was that a self-destruct?
Well
I want things to go back to normal.
You said so yourself.
That I'll go back to where I belong.
So here it goes.
I'm kind of in a hurry.
Do you remember what you said?
"Does it really matter"
Does it really matter
who put them back?
"who put them back?"
Of course it matters. So why
doesn't it matter to you?
Kang Min Jung.
Lee Geum Hwa.
Yeo Chun Ok.
Wi Sun Hee, Jin Hwa Lim,
and possibly Han Jeong Im.
And there are more missing persons too.
Bang Ju Seon and Lee Yu Yeon.
Who killed them?
Who is the person you're covering up for?
(Beyond Evil)
Your father is cutting off his
tail to avoid getting in a mess.
He just cut his son off in a pinch.
Father.
Unlike you.
Dong Sik, are you sure you didn't kill
Min Jung?
The one who killed Min Jung.
I know it's not you.
Officer Lee.
You love to abide by the law and principle.
Can you throw it all away?
Your precious son, Park Jeong Je.
If I let him go, it'll be the end of him.
So tell me.
Tell me, Lee Dong Sik.
