(All characters, organizations, locations, )
(and incidents in this drama are fictional.)
(3 years ago November 21, 2017)
Mr. Lee Sang Yeob, my burden.
Yes.
What's the most important skill while on a stakeout?
What is it?
Observation.
Even if there are obstacles between you and your enemy,
not even a flinch is allowed. You should be persistent.
You should be patient enough to endure the pain in your bladder.
You need the effort not to lose interest after sleepless nights.
No flinch, bladder control, and sleepless nights.
When you can control all these aspects,
you'll finally become a decent VCU detective.
Do you know what a real cop is?
- Inspector Lee. - Yes.
Why did you become a police officer?
My burden has many questions today.
Are we on a blind date?
Because I felt victimized.
I didn't want that and didn't want anyone else to be victimized either.
I'm cool, aren't I?
Is that why you're sitting here not catching that jerk?
He killed three female college students
who were barely 20 years old.
And you want me to watch his window?
Why aren't you catching Song Ji Ho and just sitting here?
- We don't have any evidence. - We do.
The second victim's blood was found in his car.
He said she had a nosebleed in his car.
Do you honestly believe that nonsense?
The judge believed it.
That's why we're here, and he is in his house.
In his comfortable house, not a jail cell.
Lee Song Ah.
The third victim.
She was a friend of my sister's.
What?
She was very dear to me.
She was so kind and innocent.
She didn't deserve to die like that.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
You should've told me when we identified her.
Then you would've removed me from the team.
You're not a burden, you're a liability.
Do you want our team No.
Do you want to get the whole unit in trouble?
I'm never leaving the team.
I'll do whatever it takes
to catch him.
Whatever it takes?
Look. Song Ji Ho is a smart scumbag.
He killed two people and got away with it.
Do you think he won't get away the third time?
That's why we have to bust in.
You don't know what he's hiding in there.
Let's bust in before he gets rid of the evidence.
I'll pretend to be a deliveryman and
So you want to commit a forcible entry into the house.
Can evidence obtained illegally be used in court?
It can be if it's an emergency situation.
- So let's just bust in - Then what?
Then what?
You're just dying to victimize Song Ji Ho.
Who's victimizing who?
Article 13, Clause 1 of the Constitution.
No citizen shall be placed in double jeopardy.
Once one is judged innocent,
one cannot be prosecuted again even if hard evidence is found.
Once he's acquitted
because of the illegally obtained evidence, that's it.
And it'll turn him into a victim.
What if
we compose a piece of solid evidence?
You're out of your mind.
We can't just sit here
and watch his window forever!
Keep your voice down.
I want to stab him to death.
I know he will become the victim if I do that.
That's what's holding me back.
Dong Sik.
I have to catch him no matter what.
I don't care if it's illegal. I'll do whatever it takes.
But if I fail
I'll just kill him myself.
What about the victims' families?
The ones who lost
their daughters or sisters.
Why should they have to see that murderer
being turned into a victim only to receive sympathy?
You're a police officer. Think of how unfair and burdensome
this will be for the families of those victims.
It's much better than seeing that jerk alive.
- Inspector Lee Sang Yeob. - Dong Sik.
Don't call me by my name, you punk.
You don't deserve to be in the VCU. Take your hands off this case.
You need to leave the Regional Investigation Unit.
Dong Sik.
Hey, man. What did I say about partners?
Didn't I say you have to at least pretend to die if I tell you to?
Fine, I'll do everything as you say.
So please, Dong Sik.
Then make sure you keep your eyes on him
but don't make a single move.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Regional Investigation Unit 1)
Just pull out.
I'll tell Unit Two to relieve you.
Just come back in.
I'm sorry, Mr. Nam.
Goodness, you don't have to be sorry.
Sang Yeob is our huge burden.
He can never be a detective.
I keep telling him again and again. My goodness.
I'm sorry, Dong Sik.
But still, look after that kid and bring him back in one piece.
Okay.
(Burden)
Has he gone crazy?
Sang Yeob, what are you doing?
His car just left the parking lot.
- I'll make sure I stay on his tail. - Hey, stop. Stop right there!
What if we lose him?
His car just turned into a street.
I'm going to catch him no matter what.
Okay, I get it. Just follow him, okay?
Just keep your eyes on him.
Don't confront him alone, okay?
Hey, Sang Yeob, I'm on my way. So until I get there
Man, this punk.
(Quick Delivery Service)
Sang Yeob.
Don't talk.
- I'm sorry. - Stop talking!
Catch him.
Go get Song Ji Ho.
Stay still, you punk.
(Emergency Number)
This is Inspector Lee Dong Sik
of the Regional Investigation Unit, Seoul Police Agency.
An officer is down.
We need an ambulance here right now.
He's of Regional Investigation Unit, Seoul Police Agency.
Name, Lee Sang Yeob.
Darn it, an officer is down!
This is
A gun. That jerk is carrying a gun.
I'm sorry. I snuck a gun out.
Get him.
You can get him now since I'll die.
Dong Sik.
To be honest, I don't want to die.
Please get him.
Burden.
Hey, you punk.
Breathe.
You need
to breathe.
Breathe.
Sang Yeob.
(Beyond Evil)
You jerk!
Darn it.
Please let me live.
Please Please let me live.
Please let me live.
Please let me live. Please.
Self-defence.
I did that out of self-defence.
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
(Draw your unlock pattern.)
Don't tell Dad.
(Dad)
(Dad, please)
(Dad, please let me out.)
(Dad, please let me out.)
(Episode 7: Catch)
- Where are you going? - I need to get some air.
(Daughter: Dad, please let me out.)
Dad, please let me out.
(Dad, please let me out.)
What's wrong, Mr. Kang?
Why? What is it?
What's wrong? What's going on?
Why? What is it?
Do Su, Min Jung's phone is on again.
Track its location and send a support team there.
(The day of Kang Min Jung's disappearance)
(October 23, 2020)
- Did you drink a lot? - Yes.
You reek of alcohol.
I do?
Thank you for walking me home.
- Get home safe. - All right.
You scared me!
Are you just coming home?
You're tired, aren't you?
How about dinner? You should eat, right?
The guys asked
if we want to have meat at Jae Yi's place.
I'm tired. I'm just going to wash up and sleep.
(Ji Hun)
Yes, Ji Hun.
Min Jung?
She just came home.
I'll go after organizing the store.
Beef galbi?
I'll ask Min Jung.
Okay.
(Dong Sik's Eternal Love, Min Jung)
- Yes. - I miss you, Dong Sik.
Have you gone crazy?
Yes, I've gone crazy because I miss you, punk.
- Where are you? - Home.
It sounds like you're outside.
I'm home.
Okay, come here right now.
I'm a little tired today.
(Are you not coming?)
Yes, yes.
All the more reason to grill galbi if you're that tired.
- Hang up. - Okay.
- Here, here. Don't do it. - Don't burn it.
- Hi. - Jeong Je.
You came, Jeong Je?
Just leave it to him.
I'll do it.
I guess he's confident.
You're an expert at grilling marinated meat.
Hurry over and take the tongs.
You said I must come,
so I thought we're having beef.
It's a get-together of Manyang Police Substation. In your dreams!
Then how about Munju Police Station paying today?
Look at the meat. It's the kind of meat
you can only find once in a century.
There are two people from each station.
- The one who should pay is - Look at how well it's marinated.
Jae Yi, you get better every day.
Dong Sik, the sauce is burning.
Just leave him alone.
A dead body was found in the reed field.
If we leave him alone, he will starve tonight.
- Hi. - Hi.
You came? Hi.
What's that? It's not fresh makgeolli, is it?
I definitely told him to go to Manyang Supermarket,
but he didn't even want to walk that distance.
Makgeolli is all the same.
I'll call Jin Mook to bring it.
I'll go.
It'd be too heavy for him to carry all the makgeolli by himself.
All right. Go.
Hey, Ji Hun!
Why is Jin Mook so late?
- My goodness. - Here.
- Ji Hwa. - You heard everything, right?
Come quickly and have some meat.
Enjoy the meal and have fun.
Hey, Dong Sik.
(Manyang Supermarket)
That darned girl.
Look at the state of your fingers.
The basement.
I should go.
Jin Mook! It's me, Ji Hun!
Let me in.
Jin Mook, are you in there?
Jin Mook!
Is it you, Ji Hun?
What brought you here?
Hey, Mr. Kang.
It's already past 8pm. Where are you?
In your store?
Ji Hun said he was going there. Is he there now?
Yes, he's
packing some makgeolli now.
Yes. We will make sure we have enough.
Okay. Bye.
12 bottles should be enough, right?
Maybe not.
I'm not sure.
I should just pack six more. Can you give me a plastic bag?
Min Jung is home, right?
Doesn't she need to have dinner?
Should I ask her?
She's sleeping.
- She won't wake up. - Already?
Yes.
Min Jung!
Min Jung.
(Minion Oh Ji Hun)
Hey, alcoholic.
Aren't you hungry?
Shouldn't you have some hangover food?
Are you asleep?
Are you dead?
Sleeping like a dead person?
He said I must leave you alone.
Jin Mook said that.
Sleeping like a dead person?
Sleeping like a dead person?
Jin Mook said that.
Jin Mook said that.
Jin Mook said that.
(Kang Jin Mook)
Hey.
Hey, where are you?
Are you home?
Yes. Where's Min Jung?
Is she home now?
She came home.
She's home now.
That's good.
I was going to go to your place now.
I have something to give Min Jung.
Don't.
She told me not to wake her up.
She said she was going to bed.
Come here. You can give it to me.
Come and have some meat too.
Min Jung needs to have dinner too, after all.
I saw her sleeping before I left.
She was really deeply asleep.
Like a dead person?
Right. Yes.
Like a dead person.
Like a dead person.
Come on and hurry over here.
Okay?
We will grill the beef when you arrive.
What? Is that on you?
You're coming, right? Dong Sik.
Do you think it's possible to indict a suspect for murder
where the body is missing?
It's impossible.
Once he's acquitted
because of the illegally obtained evidence, that's it.
Article 13, Clause 1 of the Constitution.
No citizen shall be placed in double jeopardy.
Once one is judged innocent,
one cannot be prosecuted again even if hard evidence is found.
What about the victims' families?
The ones who lost
their daughters or sisters.
Why should they have to see that murderer
being turned into a victim only to receive sympathy?
Ju Seon! Give my daughter back!
Mr. Bang.
My youngest daughter, Ju Seon.
My sweetheart hasn't come home yet. I have to wait for her.
Oh, my gosh! Honey!
The first time is the toughest.
You get used to it after then.
I got used to running over to check and see if it's my mom
whenever I hear that an unidentifiable body was found.
Even when people say, "That woman"
"practically killed her husband and ran off with another man",
you get used to getting that too.
Do you think I'm not used to how people keep whispering
that she's a victim of a serial killer?
I have to live like this until the day she comes back.
What if
we compose a piece of solid evidence?
I don't care if it's illegal. I'll do whatever it takes.
But if I fail
I'll just kill him myself.
(Manyang Supermarket)
That was a great meal. Bye, guys.
Min Jung
(November 4, 2020, Present day)
What are you doing here?
I should ask you the same thing.
What are you doing here, Officer Lee?
You just disappeared from the butcher shop.
- Let's split up and search. - All right.
You weren't at home either.
The phone is turned off. Please leave
You turned off your phone.
Then he told me where you were.
Who?
(Kang Jin Mook)
He said this is the only place you would go.
(Kim Young Hee, 63)
He also told me you're a good son.
That's a load of nonsense.
I know.
I know because I just saw something.
Your face.
When you realized she was still breathing,
I couldn't tell if you were relieved or disappointed.
I'm just saying because I understand you.
Some people are a burden just because they're alive.
If you're done talking, please leave.
I'll come back in three hours.
He says he remembered something from the day Kang Min Jung disappeared.
Kang Jin Mook says he wants to meet us.
So you went over what happened on the day she went missing?
Well,
we have to find Min Jung fast.
She sent me a message. That means she's alive.
Right?
(Ji Hun asked about Min Jung, so I told him she was asleep.)
So what do you remember?
Dong Sik, you should know
I don't want to suspect anyone.
I just have to find Min Jung.
So I should give every little detail, right?
So she wasn't at the butcher shop?
For how long?
About an hour.
Yoo Jae Yi.
Jae Yi wasn't there.
If I go to Busan
Will I be able to see you again?
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
Manyang.
What an interesting place?
When you mentioned every single name,
I couldn't understand you.
But you were right.
Every single name is popping up one after another.
I guess it's Yoo Jae Yi's turn now.
The person you have to protect.
Who's protecting who?
Hey.
That sounds ridiculous. Got it?
I'm the one protecting
this fool.
- Is it barley tea? - Corn tea.
It's still very hot.
Cool it down before you drink.
I heard you have mysophobia.
The coffee here is old and unsanitary.
So I can't offer you any.
Thank you for sparing me.
I'm sure you didn't come here to buy meat early in the morning.
What is it?
On October 23,
from 9:50pm to 10:50pm,
where were you, and what were you doing?
October 23.
It's the day Min Jung went missing.
I guess I was cutting meat, grilling it, or eating it
with the officers from Manyang Substation and Munju Police Station.
- Are you sure of that? - Of course I'm
Wait a minute.
I left for a while.
I did, didn't I?
I can't say that you left.
You can't say that I stayed either.
Because I was sleeping upstairs.
Oh, come on.
- My goodness. - Go home now.
- Upstairs? - I live in the attic.
When they have team dinners, I sometimes go upstairs to sleep.
It's not like they can't serve themselves when I'm not here.
I was tired that night because I went to the morning market.
But why do you ask?
Is someone saying it was strange that I disappeared?
Who?
- I can't tell you - Kang Jin Mook.
Is it Mr. Kang?
Why do you think he's the one?
Because
he's a father who lost his daughter.
- Ji Hun, how did you - Jae Yi.
Dong Sik.
Welcome back.
How did you get out?
Jeong Je.
He turned himself in.
You crazy brat.
Are you out of your mind?
Come out of there. Come out!
What are you doing? Let him out!
He went in voluntarily. So how can I let him out?
- You little - Calm down.
You can't do this at the police station.
You can't lock him up for this.
Please don’t cross the line.
We are trying to be fair.
Constable Oh was locked up too.
Listen to me. That boy and my son aren't the same.
I don't care about your fairness. They are two different people.
How are they the same?
Excuse me?
My son
would never do something like that.
He'd never kill someone.
He's so gentle that he can't even kill a bug.
I can.
I can kill a deer.
What's wrong with you, Jeong Je?
That's enough.
You've done enough so just go home.
So I can sleep.
Sleep?
You're completely out of your mind.
Jeong Je, what are you trying to do?
I am guilty, so I'm paying for what I've done.
Guilty? Of what?
What? He's not guilty of anything.
He's just joking. It's a joke.
I am guilty.
I'm guilty of being the last person to meet her that night.
How is that your fault?
That means it's highly possible that I did something to her.
It's just bad luck.
Being the last person to meet her doesn't make you the killer.
What about Ji Hun?
If I'm not the killer,
why did he have to be locked up?
He can't be the killer.
Someone tipped us off
with the video of only Ji Hun in it.
Right. It's you again.
You convinced him to do this.
- Mother! - I'm sorry,
but it looks like he made the choice.
Jeong Je isn't a boy who would do something like that.
Ms. Do Hae Won!
Cut it out and just go home.
Please leave.
We'll deal with this with a quick and accurate investigation.
Please do that.
Oh, Dong Sik.
My friend.
I can't believe you came to visit.
Nice to meet you.
Fine, thank you, you punk.
You've never even been to the US. English? My foot.
Why didn't you say so if you had known already?
It was very tiring to mix awkward English into my language.
- Come out after a bit. - Come out where?
Why do you sound so confident?
What if I'm the killer?
You aren't.
- Really? - No. You aren't.
How would you know that?
I heard Jin Mook got a text message from Min Jung.
The incident finally turned into an actual case,
and I was the last one she met. Hey, man.
You can't trust me.
It wasn't you.
So how would you know that?
"Dad Please let me out."
I sent him that text.
What are you talking
He got another message from Min Jung.
Where are you right now?
Hey, Dong Sik. You're here.
Where were you? He's been looking for you.
Dong Sik, Min Jung sent me another message.
What did she say this time?
"Dad, it hurts. Please let me out."
You wouldn't pick up your phone either.
Where have you been all along?
At the holding cell in Munju Police Station.
The holding cell? Were you there to see Jeong Je?
Yes.
Yes, did you find the location of the sender?
The mouth of Munju Stream?
The mouth of Munju Stream? It's nothing but a field of reeds.
The reed field? Why?
Unit Two is on its way.
- Request for the security footage. - There aren't any cameras there.
All you can see are reeds and the stream, isn't that so?
You're right. There's none in the vicinity.
How far inside should we search starting from the road?
Everything. Search the entire area.
- The entire area? - All of Manyang-eup.
Search everywhere down to a grain of sand.
Don't worry about her and stay here.
I'll search through everything.
Chief, could you gather everyone at the substation?
People may not feel comfortable having their houses searched,
so please ask them for cooperation.
Officer Lee, Inspector Han, you heard her, right?
Jin Mook, don't worry about her.
I'll make sure I strip down every single house
in all of Manyang-eup from the rooftop to the basement
to find anything related to Min Jung's case. Okay?
(Mount Simju Trail Map)
(Simju Temple)
That's too bright, Jae Yi.
Why did you hide that there? You could've just given it to me.
You put it deep in your desk drawer.
You hid it very well between planks and garbage,
so I had a tough time.
No matter how much I thought about this,
the only person who wouldn't be afraid
of sending a message like that in the same room is
you, Dong Sik.
Thanks to me,
you're excluded from the list of suspects who sent the text, right?
- May I have it back? - No.
Jae Yi, aren't you scared of me?
I had Min Jung's phone.
I could've killed her.
You're just insane, that's all.
The sorrow you held all to yourself brimmed over at some point,
so you just began to go around doing crazy stuff.
Right?
Since you're running amok like a crazy man,
will you tell me
who made you go crazy
and killed Min Jung?
Was it Kang Jin Mook?
Yes.
And he's the one
who did that to your sister?
- Yes. - Then what about my mom?
I think it was him.
Jae Yi, give me the phone.
- No. - I'll manage. Give it to me.
- No, I want to do this too. - Jae Yi!
You're trying to find your sister with your own hands.
I want to find my mom with my own hands.
Don't. Don't do that!
Jae Yi.
- You'll get hurt. - I'll have to get hurt.
Why should you make all the sacrifices?
You're already a mess.
It has been 10 years.
I'm sick and tired of sitting in that butcher shop. I'm done.
I'm I want to get hurt.
I need to pay the price If I want something.
- I'm fine. - I'm not.
I'm not fine with this.
Just accept it. You have to.
Jae Yi.
I'm fine, really.
You'll be by my side.
There's no turning back now.
I sent another text message to Kang Jin Mook
before I got here.
Goodbye, Dad.
I'm coming out now.
You're not going anywhere.
(Oh Ji Hwa)
Hey, Ji Hwa.
I'm all right.
Where?
Simju Temple in Mount Simju?
Right.
That place?
Yoo Jae Yi, 28 years old, highest level of education, high school.
She's pretty.
She runs her own business. The butcher shop.
She's quite capable.
All medical examiners know who this woman is.
She shows up whenever an unidentified body is found.
She visits the prosecutor and the detective in charge
every year during the holidays and makes a scene to say hello.
Not many people continue to look for their missing mom for 10 years.
She's a very loving daughter.
If she's that kind of woman, I'm all for this.
What's so good
about your family, who ends up becoming nothing but a burden?
So why are you trying to force that idea?
Because I couldn't find anything odd through my investigation.
Therefore, was this investigation conducted for personal reasons?
I like simple relationships that only involve
giving what I need to give and taking what I need to take.
It looks like the victim's father got another text message.
"Goodbye, Dad. I'm coming out now." My gosh.
Where was it sent from?
It wasn't love. She was a suspect.
Right here.
(Presumed to have gone missing near the sign for Simju Temple)
- Hello. - Hello, you're here.
- Great work, sir. - Hello.
You're here.
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
Where's Officer Lee?
I think he volunteered to do a search in the reed field.
He's there when we got a warrant to search through Ms. Yoo's place?
Don't worry. This time, I won't throw any eggs at you.
Why not?
Does it not feel unfair this time?
No, not really.
The first message was sent from the shop.
And I heard another one was sent from the place my mom went missing.
So I figured you might want to search my place.
You're thirsty, aren't you? I'll go get some water.
Well, thank you, Jae Yi.
Hey, we could get in trouble for taking it.
- What? - Think about it.
If they find something, we'll be in trouble for drinking the water.
They won't find anything.
Officers have been in and out of this place so many times
to drink makgeolli. So this is ridiculous.
- They could find something. - Right.
- Inspector Han. - The day she went missing,
when you had a team dinner
I heard Ms. Yoo disappeared that night.
- What? - He's right. She did.
She was tired, so she went upstairs to sleep.
She always does that, so what's the big deal?
Are you suspecting her?
Is it wrong to suspect her?
She's family to us.
You're not supposed to suspect your family.
Constable Oh, you should quit your job
and just be her family.
- What did you just say? - Hey, stop it.
How dare you talk like that to Inspector Han?
Calm down.
Inspector Han, this may seem suspicious to you.
But she can't be the killer.
I think it's ridiculous that you suspect her.
Why aren't you suspecting Dong Sik?
He came here after 9pm that night, didn't he?
Officer Lee did?
He said he wouldn't be here.
Then he came when we told him we were having beef.
- Inspector Han. - What?
Where are you going?
I'm taking a vacation today. I'll tell the chief.
Inspector Han.
Yes.
Section Chief Kwak.
Inspector Han.
What brings you here?
You're working for my father, right?
Well, all police officers work for your father, don't they?
What do you want, Inspector Han?
Okay, but make it clean so you won't have to clean it up for him.
All right.
(Munju Police Station Kwak Oh Seob)
Is your son still pursuing something?
Is he tracking down the criminal?
Is my son the reason why you've barged in here?
Well, I can't say it isn't.
It seems that your son
hasn't given up.
Councilwoman Do's son
voluntarily walked into a holding cell.
Should I just kill them both?
You two are making things complicated.
This is why you shouldn't have children.
As your partner,
wouldn't I be uncomfortable with it?
My partner? Who is?
Who do you think it is? It's us.
We've been partners since 20 years ago.
I told you I only want one thing.
I'll tell you again because it seems you keep forgetting.
Munju shouldn't be the background of serial murders.
Munju should remind people of redevelopment, apartments,
permits, and construction.
These are the things that Munju should remind people of.
So why
are people so interested
in text messages from a possibly dead girl?
Why are the cops crawling out
and searching every corner of Manyang-eup right now?
They're going from door to door
and making a big fuss of it!
Is that enough reason for me to barge in or not?
Chairman Lee.
Serial murders.
Munju will always remind people of the word.
Darn it.
You sit your butt down and listen to me.
Sit.
It's impossible to get rid of the tag.
So let's just put things in order.
What is he up to this time?
People are talking about serial murders
because the killer is still on the loose.
After all those years,
are you trying to catch him now?
The one who killed Bang Ju Seon, Lee Yu Yeon, and all the others.
Are you planning to catch him?
This guy is crazy.
So who is the killer?
Is that important to you?
All we need is to solve the case.
Each department manages videos of its own offices.
But hallways aren't included so we manage those videos.
I'm not here to get you in trouble.
Like Section Chief Kwak told you,
just tell me and forget about this.
Chief Nam won't be in trouble for this, right?
He only has a year left until his retirement.
He won't be in trouble.
Never.
Give me a second.
Look. The videos from that security camera
were the only ones deleted
on the night Chief Nam stopped by.
See?
Here.
Wait.
Why did he check this video?
(Camera 14 : 25-28, Road 210, Kyopyung, Manyang-eup)
No one knows there's a security camera there.
The utility pole installed with the camera is on private land.
So it became a problem for a while.
Technically, we shouldn't be managing this camera.
Is the camera still working? Wait.
What is this? Why is it empty?
Where is this utility pole located?
(Manyang 2-Ri)
(Manyang Supermarket)
How did they find this?
I couldn't find this for years.
I guess that's why they're police officers.
Jae Yi.
Mr. Kang.
I'm sorry, Jae Yi.
Min Jung
caused you so much trouble.
No, it's okay.
I came to help.
Why would you? It's all right.
Dong Sik said he's coming.
- He did? - Yes.
We can do it by ourselves.
All right.
Fine.
- Bye. - Bye.
The reed field 50m down to the mouth of Munju Stream,
next to the stepping stone.
Jae Yi, please let your mom out.
("Superintendent of Munju Police Declares")
("Missing College Student Case Closed")
("Missing College Student Case Closed")
I didn't know you had a habit of playing with fire at night.
You saw it before. Why are you staring at it like that?
- Why did you not remove it? - Why do I have to remove it?
It will remind you every time you see it.
Are you talking about a trophy for the murder or something?
I've been looking at what I killed, cut, and put up
for 20 years to get vicarious satisfaction.
Is that what you're trying to say?
That's what I thought when I first entered the yard of this house.
Then I thought it might not be the case for a moment.
But I'm not sure now.
There's one thing I know for sure though.
Why did you put Min Jung's fingers here?
This version is quite creative.
Chief Nam Sang Bae.
Why would a man who only has a year to go before he retires
remove the security footage of the entrance of Manyang Supermarket,
the house of the missing person on the day of her disappearance?
I heard no one knew that security camera was working.
Well, someone who searched the whole neighbourhood
to find an elderly man with dementia
might've known.
He must've thought there were no cameras around the scene.
When he realized there was one,
how surprised would he have been? No.
Why would it be surprising?
The person who entered the house.
The person who came out of the house.
Because someone was filmed.
The reason Chief Nam Sang Bae had to take a risk
of walking into the police station to remove the security footage.
Who would have been filmed?
Nam Sang Bae himself? Someone who is more precious than him?
What did that person do
in that place that day?
I'm going to arrest Chief Nam Sang Bae.
Why would you arrest him? It's not something you can arrest him for.
It depends on how I spin it.
The higher-ups need a culprit, whoever that is.
Officer Lee Dong Sik, what are you going to do?
Hold on.
(Yoo Jae Yi)
I'll just take this call.
Yes, Jae Yi.
Dong Sik, I'm on my way to find my mom.
- What did you say? - He said she's under
the stepping stone 50m down to the mouth of Munju Stream.
The mouth of Munju Stream?
What are you talking about?
I think Jin Mook left her hairpin.
It's what my dad gave her when they got married.
So she would wear it only on important days.
It's what she was wearing on the day she went missing,
49 days after Dad passed away.
That hairpin
Kang Jin Mook brought it.
Listen to me.
If this is Kang Jin Mook's trap to kill me,
you must catch him with this.
You must catch him. Please do that for me.
What's the matter?
Move aside.
Move aside, you jerk!
(Munju Stream)
Min Jung.
It's what you wanted.
I'll let you leave this house.
Kang Jin Mook,
I'm arresting you without a warrant for
kidnapping, confining, and causing bodily harm to Kang Min Jung.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to an attorney and the chance to defend yourself.
You have the right to seek a writ of habeas corpus.
Now
Give me your hands.
Did you come alone?
No way.
Jeong Je?
Jae Yi.
Are you okay? What's up with your hands?
How did you come here?
Dong Sik sent me.
Darn it.
That's right.
Your life from now on
is
completely
finished.
(Dad, please let me out. Dad, it hurts. Please let me out.)
(Goodbye, Dad. I'm coming out now.)

(and incidents in this drama are fictional.)
(3 years ago November 21, 2017)
Mr. Lee Sang Yeob, my burden.
Yes.
What's the most important skill while on a stakeout?
What is it?
Observation.
Even if there are obstacles between you and your enemy,
not even a flinch is allowed. You should be persistent.
You should be patient enough to endure the pain in your bladder.
You need the effort not to lose interest after sleepless nights.
No flinch, bladder control, and sleepless nights.
When you can control all these aspects,
you'll finally become a decent VCU detective.
Do you know what a real cop is?
- Inspector Lee. - Yes.
Why did you become a police officer?
My burden has many questions today.
Are we on a blind date?
Because I felt victimized.
I didn't want that and didn't want anyone else to be victimized either.
I'm cool, aren't I?
Is that why you're sitting here not catching that jerk?
He killed three female college students
who were barely 20 years old.
And you want me to watch his window?
Why aren't you catching Song Ji Ho and just sitting here?
- We don't have any evidence. - We do.
The second victim's blood was found in his car.
He said she had a nosebleed in his car.
Do you honestly believe that nonsense?
The judge believed it.
That's why we're here, and he is in his house.
In his comfortable house, not a jail cell.
Lee Song Ah.
The third victim.
She was a friend of my sister's.
What?
She was very dear to me.
She was so kind and innocent.
She didn't deserve to die like that.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
You should've told me when we identified her.
Then you would've removed me from the team.
You're not a burden, you're a liability.
Do you want our team No.
Do you want to get the whole unit in trouble?
I'm never leaving the team.
I'll do whatever it takes
to catch him.
Whatever it takes?
Look. Song Ji Ho is a smart scumbag.
He killed two people and got away with it.
Do you think he won't get away the third time?
That's why we have to bust in.
You don't know what he's hiding in there.
Let's bust in before he gets rid of the evidence.
I'll pretend to be a deliveryman and
So you want to commit a forcible entry into the house.
Can evidence obtained illegally be used in court?
It can be if it's an emergency situation.
- So let's just bust in - Then what?
Then what?
You're just dying to victimize Song Ji Ho.
Who's victimizing who?
Article 13, Clause 1 of the Constitution.
No citizen shall be placed in double jeopardy.
Once one is judged innocent,
one cannot be prosecuted again even if hard evidence is found.
Once he's acquitted
because of the illegally obtained evidence, that's it.
And it'll turn him into a victim.
What if
we compose a piece of solid evidence?
You're out of your mind.
We can't just sit here
and watch his window forever!
Keep your voice down.
I want to stab him to death.
I know he will become the victim if I do that.
That's what's holding me back.
Dong Sik.
I have to catch him no matter what.
I don't care if it's illegal. I'll do whatever it takes.
But if I fail
I'll just kill him myself.
What about the victims' families?
The ones who lost
their daughters or sisters.
Why should they have to see that murderer
being turned into a victim only to receive sympathy?
You're a police officer. Think of how unfair and burdensome
this will be for the families of those victims.
It's much better than seeing that jerk alive.
- Inspector Lee Sang Yeob. - Dong Sik.
Don't call me by my name, you punk.
You don't deserve to be in the VCU. Take your hands off this case.
You need to leave the Regional Investigation Unit.
Dong Sik.
Hey, man. What did I say about partners?
Didn't I say you have to at least pretend to die if I tell you to?
Fine, I'll do everything as you say.
So please, Dong Sik.
Then make sure you keep your eyes on him
but don't make a single move.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Regional Investigation Unit 1)
Just pull out.
I'll tell Unit Two to relieve you.
Just come back in.
I'm sorry, Mr. Nam.
Goodness, you don't have to be sorry.
Sang Yeob is our huge burden.
He can never be a detective.
I keep telling him again and again. My goodness.
I'm sorry, Dong Sik.
But still, look after that kid and bring him back in one piece.
Okay.
(Burden)
Has he gone crazy?
Sang Yeob, what are you doing?
His car just left the parking lot.
- I'll make sure I stay on his tail. - Hey, stop. Stop right there!
What if we lose him?
His car just turned into a street.
I'm going to catch him no matter what.
Okay, I get it. Just follow him, okay?
Just keep your eyes on him.
Don't confront him alone, okay?
Hey, Sang Yeob, I'm on my way. So until I get there
Man, this punk.
(Quick Delivery Service)
Sang Yeob.
Don't talk.
- I'm sorry. - Stop talking!
Catch him.
Go get Song Ji Ho.
Stay still, you punk.
(Emergency Number)
This is Inspector Lee Dong Sik
of the Regional Investigation Unit, Seoul Police Agency.
An officer is down.
We need an ambulance here right now.
He's of Regional Investigation Unit, Seoul Police Agency.
Name, Lee Sang Yeob.
Darn it, an officer is down!
This is
A gun. That jerk is carrying a gun.
I'm sorry. I snuck a gun out.
Get him.
You can get him now since I'll die.
Dong Sik.
To be honest, I don't want to die.
Please get him.
Burden.
Hey, you punk.
Breathe.
You need
to breathe.
Breathe.
Sang Yeob.
(Beyond Evil)
You jerk!
Darn it.
Please let me live.
Please Please let me live.
Please let me live.
Please let me live. Please.
Self-defence.
I did that out of self-defence.

What's wrong, Mr. Kang?
Why? What is it?
What's wrong? What's going on?
Why? What is it?
Do Su, Min Jung's phone is on again.
Track its location and send a support team there.
(The day of Kang Min Jung's disappearance)
(October 23, 2020)
- Did you drink a lot? - Yes.
You reek of alcohol.
I do?
Thank you for walking me home.
- Get home safe. - All right.
You scared me!
Are you just coming home?
You're tired, aren't you?
How about dinner? You should eat, right?
The guys asked
if we want to have meat at Jae Yi's place.
I'm tired. I'm just going to wash up and sleep.
(Ji Hun)
Yes, Ji Hun.
Min Jung?
She just came home.
I'll go after organizing the store.
Beef galbi?
I'll ask Min Jung.
Okay.
(Dong Sik's Eternal Love, Min Jung)
- Yes. - I miss you, Dong Sik.
Have you gone crazy?
Yes, I've gone crazy because I miss you, punk.
- Where are you? - Home.
It sounds like you're outside.
I'm home.
Okay, come here right now.
I'm a little tired today.
(Are you not coming?)
Yes, yes.
All the more reason to grill galbi if you're that tired.
- Hang up. - Okay.
- Here, here. Don't do it. - Don't burn it.
- Hi. - Jeong Je.
You came, Jeong Je?
Just leave it to him.
I'll do it.
I guess he's confident.
You're an expert at grilling marinated meat.
Hurry over and take the tongs.
You said I must come,
so I thought we're having beef.
It's a get-together of Manyang Police Substation. In your dreams!
Then how about Munju Police Station paying today?
Look at the meat. It's the kind of meat
you can only find once in a century.
There are two people from each station.
- The one who should pay is - Look at how well it's marinated.
Jae Yi, you get better every day.
Dong Sik, the sauce is burning.
Just leave him alone.
A dead body was found in the reed field.
If we leave him alone, he will starve tonight.
- Hi. - Hi.
You came? Hi.
What's that? It's not fresh makgeolli, is it?
I definitely told him to go to Manyang Supermarket,
but he didn't even want to walk that distance.
Makgeolli is all the same.
I'll call Jin Mook to bring it.
I'll go.
It'd be too heavy for him to carry all the makgeolli by himself.
All right. Go.
Hey, Ji Hun!
Why is Jin Mook so late?
- My goodness. - Here.
- Ji Hwa. - You heard everything, right?
Come quickly and have some meat.
Enjoy the meal and have fun.
Hey, Dong Sik.
(Manyang Supermarket)
That darned girl.
Look at the state of your fingers.
The basement.
I should go.
Jin Mook! It's me, Ji Hun!
Let me in.
Jin Mook, are you in there?
Jin Mook!
Is it you, Ji Hun?
What brought you here?
Hey, Mr. Kang.
It's already past 8pm. Where are you?
In your store?
Ji Hun said he was going there. Is he there now?
Yes, he's
packing some makgeolli now.
Yes. We will make sure we have enough.
Okay. Bye.
12 bottles should be enough, right?
Maybe not.
I'm not sure.
I should just pack six more. Can you give me a plastic bag?
Min Jung is home, right?
Doesn't she need to have dinner?
Should I ask her?
She's sleeping.
- She won't wake up. - Already?
Yes.
Min Jung!
Min Jung.
(Minion Oh Ji Hun)
Hey, alcoholic.
Aren't you hungry?
Shouldn't you have some hangover food?
Are you asleep?
Are you dead?
Sleeping like a dead person?
He said I must leave you alone.
Jin Mook said that.
Sleeping like a dead person?
Sleeping like a dead person?
Jin Mook said that.
Jin Mook said that.
Jin Mook said that.
(Kang Jin Mook)
Hey.
Hey, where are you?
Are you home?
Yes. Where's Min Jung?
Is she home now?
She came home.
She's home now.
That's good.
I was going to go to your place now.
I have something to give Min Jung.
Don't.
She told me not to wake her up.
She said she was going to bed.
Come here. You can give it to me.
Come and have some meat too.
Min Jung needs to have dinner too, after all.
I saw her sleeping before I left.
She was really deeply asleep.
Like a dead person?
Right. Yes.
Like a dead person.
Like a dead person.
Come on and hurry over here.
Okay?
We will grill the beef when you arrive.
What? Is that on you?
You're coming, right? Dong Sik.
Do you think it's possible to indict a suspect for murder
where the body is missing?
It's impossible.
Once he's acquitted
because of the illegally obtained evidence, that's it.
Article 13, Clause 1 of the Constitution.
No citizen shall be placed in double jeopardy.
Once one is judged innocent,
one cannot be prosecuted again even if hard evidence is found.
What about the victims' families?
The ones who lost
their daughters or sisters.
Why should they have to see that murderer
being turned into a victim only to receive sympathy?
Ju Seon! Give my daughter back!
Mr. Bang.
My youngest daughter, Ju Seon.
My sweetheart hasn't come home yet. I have to wait for her.
Oh, my gosh! Honey!
The first time is the toughest.
You get used to it after then.
I got used to running over to check and see if it's my mom
whenever I hear that an unidentifiable body was found.
Even when people say, "That woman"
"practically killed her husband and ran off with another man",
you get used to getting that too.
Do you think I'm not used to how people keep whispering
that she's a victim of a serial killer?
I have to live like this until the day she comes back.
What if
we compose a piece of solid evidence?
I don't care if it's illegal. I'll do whatever it takes.
But if I fail
I'll just kill him myself.
(Manyang Supermarket)
That was a great meal. Bye, guys.
Min Jung
(November 4, 2020, Present day)
What are you doing here?
I should ask you the same thing.
What are you doing here, Officer Lee?
You just disappeared from the butcher shop.
- Let's split up and search. - All right.
You weren't at home either.
The phone is turned off. Please leave
You turned off your phone.
Then he told me where you were.
Who?
(Kang Jin Mook)
He said this is the only place you would go.
(Kim Young Hee, 63)
He also told me you're a good son.
That's a load of nonsense.
I know.
I know because I just saw something.
Your face.
When you realized she was still breathing,
I couldn't tell if you were relieved or disappointed.
I'm just saying because I understand you.
Some people are a burden just because they're alive.
If you're done talking, please leave.
I'll come back in three hours.
He says he remembered something from the day Kang Min Jung disappeared.
Kang Jin Mook says he wants to meet us.
So you went over what happened on the day she went missing?
Well,
we have to find Min Jung fast.
She sent me a message. That means she's alive.
Right?
(Ji Hun asked about Min Jung, so I told him she was asleep.)
So what do you remember?
Dong Sik, you should know
I don't want to suspect anyone.
I just have to find Min Jung.
So I should give every little detail, right?
So she wasn't at the butcher shop?
For how long?
About an hour.
Yoo Jae Yi.
Jae Yi wasn't there.
If I go to Busan
Will I be able to see you again?
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
Manyang.
What an interesting place?
When you mentioned every single name,
I couldn't understand you.
But you were right.
Every single name is popping up one after another.
I guess it's Yoo Jae Yi's turn now.
The person you have to protect.
Who's protecting who?
Hey.
That sounds ridiculous. Got it?
I'm the one protecting
this fool.
- Is it barley tea? - Corn tea.
It's still very hot.
Cool it down before you drink.
I heard you have mysophobia.
The coffee here is old and unsanitary.
So I can't offer you any.
Thank you for sparing me.
I'm sure you didn't come here to buy meat early in the morning.
What is it?
On October 23,
from 9:50pm to 10:50pm,
where were you, and what were you doing?
October 23.
It's the day Min Jung went missing.
I guess I was cutting meat, grilling it, or eating it
with the officers from Manyang Substation and Munju Police Station.
- Are you sure of that? - Of course I'm
Wait a minute.
I left for a while.
I did, didn't I?
I can't say that you left.
You can't say that I stayed either.
Because I was sleeping upstairs.
Oh, come on.
- My goodness. - Go home now.
- Upstairs? - I live in the attic.
When they have team dinners, I sometimes go upstairs to sleep.
It's not like they can't serve themselves when I'm not here.
I was tired that night because I went to the morning market.
But why do you ask?
Is someone saying it was strange that I disappeared?
Who?
- I can't tell you - Kang Jin Mook.
Is it Mr. Kang?
Why do you think he's the one?
Because
he's a father who lost his daughter.
- Ji Hun, how did you - Jae Yi.
Dong Sik.
Welcome back.
How did you get out?
Jeong Je.
He turned himself in.
You crazy brat.
Are you out of your mind?
Come out of there. Come out!
What are you doing? Let him out!
He went in voluntarily. So how can I let him out?
- You little - Calm down.
You can't do this at the police station.
You can't lock him up for this.
Please don’t cross the line.
We are trying to be fair.
Constable Oh was locked up too.
Listen to me. That boy and my son aren't the same.
I don't care about your fairness. They are two different people.
How are they the same?
Excuse me?
My son
would never do something like that.
He'd never kill someone.
He's so gentle that he can't even kill a bug.
I can.
I can kill a deer.
What's wrong with you, Jeong Je?
That's enough.
You've done enough so just go home.
So I can sleep.
Sleep?
You're completely out of your mind.
Jeong Je, what are you trying to do?
I am guilty, so I'm paying for what I've done.
Guilty? Of what?
What? He's not guilty of anything.
He's just joking. It's a joke.
I am guilty.
I'm guilty of being the last person to meet her that night.
How is that your fault?
That means it's highly possible that I did something to her.
It's just bad luck.
Being the last person to meet her doesn't make you the killer.
What about Ji Hun?
If I'm not the killer,
why did he have to be locked up?
He can't be the killer.
Someone tipped us off
with the video of only Ji Hun in it.
Right. It's you again.
You convinced him to do this.
- Mother! - I'm sorry,
but it looks like he made the choice.
Jeong Je isn't a boy who would do something like that.
Ms. Do Hae Won!
Cut it out and just go home.
Please leave.
We'll deal with this with a quick and accurate investigation.
Please do that.
Oh, Dong Sik.
My friend.
I can't believe you came to visit.
Nice to meet you.
Fine, thank you, you punk.
You've never even been to the US. English? My foot.
Why didn't you say so if you had known already?
It was very tiring to mix awkward English into my language.
- Come out after a bit. - Come out where?
Why do you sound so confident?
What if I'm the killer?
You aren't.
- Really? - No. You aren't.
How would you know that?
I heard Jin Mook got a text message from Min Jung.
The incident finally turned into an actual case,
and I was the last one she met. Hey, man.
You can't trust me.
It wasn't you.
So how would you know that?
"Dad Please let me out."
I sent him that text.
What are you talking
He got another message from Min Jung.
Where are you right now?
Hey, Dong Sik. You're here.
Where were you? He's been looking for you.
Dong Sik, Min Jung sent me another message.
What did she say this time?
"Dad, it hurts. Please let me out."
You wouldn't pick up your phone either.
Where have you been all along?
At the holding cell in Munju Police Station.
The holding cell? Were you there to see Jeong Je?
Yes.
Yes, did you find the location of the sender?
The mouth of Munju Stream?
The mouth of Munju Stream? It's nothing but a field of reeds.
The reed field? Why?
Unit Two is on its way.
- Request for the security footage. - There aren't any cameras there.
All you can see are reeds and the stream, isn't that so?
You're right. There's none in the vicinity.
How far inside should we search starting from the road?
Everything. Search the entire area.
- The entire area? - All of Manyang-eup.
Search everywhere down to a grain of sand.
Don't worry about her and stay here.
I'll search through everything.
Chief, could you gather everyone at the substation?
People may not feel comfortable having their houses searched,
so please ask them for cooperation.
Officer Lee, Inspector Han, you heard her, right?
Jin Mook, don't worry about her.
I'll make sure I strip down every single house
in all of Manyang-eup from the rooftop to the basement
to find anything related to Min Jung's case. Okay?
(Mount Simju Trail Map)
(Simju Temple)
That's too bright, Jae Yi.
Why did you hide that there? You could've just given it to me.
You put it deep in your desk drawer.
You hid it very well between planks and garbage,
so I had a tough time.
No matter how much I thought about this,
the only person who wouldn't be afraid
of sending a message like that in the same room is
you, Dong Sik.
Thanks to me,
you're excluded from the list of suspects who sent the text, right?
- May I have it back? - No.
Jae Yi, aren't you scared of me?
I had Min Jung's phone.
I could've killed her.
You're just insane, that's all.
The sorrow you held all to yourself brimmed over at some point,
so you just began to go around doing crazy stuff.
Right?
Since you're running amok like a crazy man,
will you tell me
who made you go crazy
and killed Min Jung?
Was it Kang Jin Mook?
Yes.
And he's the one
who did that to your sister?
- Yes. - Then what about my mom?
I think it was him.
Jae Yi, give me the phone.
- No. - I'll manage. Give it to me.
- No, I want to do this too. - Jae Yi!
You're trying to find your sister with your own hands.
I want to find my mom with my own hands.
Don't. Don't do that!
Jae Yi.
- You'll get hurt. - I'll have to get hurt.
Why should you make all the sacrifices?
You're already a mess.
It has been 10 years.
I'm sick and tired of sitting in that butcher shop. I'm done.
I'm I want to get hurt.
I need to pay the price If I want something.
- I'm fine. - I'm not.
I'm not fine with this.
Just accept it. You have to.
Jae Yi.
I'm fine, really.
You'll be by my side.
There's no turning back now.
I sent another text message to Kang Jin Mook
before I got here.
Goodbye, Dad.
I'm coming out now.
You're not going anywhere.
(Oh Ji Hwa)
Hey, Ji Hwa.
I'm all right.
Where?
Simju Temple in Mount Simju?
Right.
That place?
Yoo Jae Yi, 28 years old, highest level of education, high school.
She's pretty.
She runs her own business. The butcher shop.
She's quite capable.
All medical examiners know who this woman is.
She shows up whenever an unidentified body is found.
She visits the prosecutor and the detective in charge
every year during the holidays and makes a scene to say hello.
Not many people continue to look for their missing mom for 10 years.
She's a very loving daughter.
If she's that kind of woman, I'm all for this.
What's so good
about your family, who ends up becoming nothing but a burden?
So why are you trying to force that idea?
Because I couldn't find anything odd through my investigation.
Therefore, was this investigation conducted for personal reasons?
I like simple relationships that only involve
giving what I need to give and taking what I need to take.
It looks like the victim's father got another text message.
"Goodbye, Dad. I'm coming out now." My gosh.
Where was it sent from?
It wasn't love. She was a suspect.
Right here.
(Presumed to have gone missing near the sign for Simju Temple)
- Hello. - Hello, you're here.
- Great work, sir. - Hello.
You're here.
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
Where's Officer Lee?
I think he volunteered to do a search in the reed field.
He's there when we got a warrant to search through Ms. Yoo's place?
Don't worry. This time, I won't throw any eggs at you.
Why not?
Does it not feel unfair this time?
No, not really.
The first message was sent from the shop.
And I heard another one was sent from the place my mom went missing.
So I figured you might want to search my place.
You're thirsty, aren't you? I'll go get some water.
Well, thank you, Jae Yi.
Hey, we could get in trouble for taking it.
- What? - Think about it.
If they find something, we'll be in trouble for drinking the water.
They won't find anything.
Officers have been in and out of this place so many times
to drink makgeolli. So this is ridiculous.
- They could find something. - Right.
- Inspector Han. - The day she went missing,
when you had a team dinner
I heard Ms. Yoo disappeared that night.
- What? - He's right. She did.
She was tired, so she went upstairs to sleep.
She always does that, so what's the big deal?
Are you suspecting her?
Is it wrong to suspect her?
She's family to us.
You're not supposed to suspect your family.
Constable Oh, you should quit your job
and just be her family.
- What did you just say? - Hey, stop it.
How dare you talk like that to Inspector Han?
Calm down.
Inspector Han, this may seem suspicious to you.
But she can't be the killer.
I think it's ridiculous that you suspect her.
Why aren't you suspecting Dong Sik?
He came here after 9pm that night, didn't he?
Officer Lee did?
He said he wouldn't be here.
Then he came when we told him we were having beef.
- Inspector Han. - What?
Where are you going?
I'm taking a vacation today. I'll tell the chief.
Inspector Han.
Yes.
Section Chief Kwak.
Inspector Han.
What brings you here?
You're working for my father, right?
Well, all police officers work for your father, don't they?
What do you want, Inspector Han?
Okay, but make it clean so you won't have to clean it up for him.
All right.
(Munju Police Station Kwak Oh Seob)
Is your son still pursuing something?
Is he tracking down the criminal?
Is my son the reason why you've barged in here?
Well, I can't say it isn't.
It seems that your son
hasn't given up.
Councilwoman Do's son
voluntarily walked into a holding cell.
Should I just kill them both?
You two are making things complicated.
This is why you shouldn't have children.
As your partner,
wouldn't I be uncomfortable with it?
My partner? Who is?
Who do you think it is? It's us.
We've been partners since 20 years ago.
I told you I only want one thing.
I'll tell you again because it seems you keep forgetting.
Munju shouldn't be the background of serial murders.
Munju should remind people of redevelopment, apartments,
permits, and construction.
These are the things that Munju should remind people of.
So why
are people so interested
in text messages from a possibly dead girl?
Why are the cops crawling out
and searching every corner of Manyang-eup right now?
They're going from door to door
and making a big fuss of it!
Is that enough reason for me to barge in or not?
Chairman Lee.
Serial murders.
Munju will always remind people of the word.
Darn it.
You sit your butt down and listen to me.
Sit.
It's impossible to get rid of the tag.
So let's just put things in order.
What is he up to this time?
People are talking about serial murders
because the killer is still on the loose.
After all those years,
are you trying to catch him now?
The one who killed Bang Ju Seon, Lee Yu Yeon, and all the others.
Are you planning to catch him?
This guy is crazy.
So who is the killer?
Is that important to you?
All we need is to solve the case.
Each department manages videos of its own offices.
But hallways aren't included so we manage those videos.
I'm not here to get you in trouble.
Like Section Chief Kwak told you,
just tell me and forget about this.
Chief Nam won't be in trouble for this, right?
He only has a year left until his retirement.
He won't be in trouble.
Never.
Give me a second.
Look. The videos from that security camera
were the only ones deleted
on the night Chief Nam stopped by.
See?
Here.
Wait.
Why did he check this video?
(Camera 14 : 25-28, Road 210, Kyopyung, Manyang-eup)
No one knows there's a security camera there.
The utility pole installed with the camera is on private land.
So it became a problem for a while.
Technically, we shouldn't be managing this camera.
Is the camera still working? Wait.
What is this? Why is it empty?
Where is this utility pole located?
(Manyang 2-Ri)
(Manyang Supermarket)
How did they find this?
I couldn't find this for years.
I guess that's why they're police officers.
Jae Yi.
Mr. Kang.
I'm sorry, Jae Yi.
Min Jung
caused you so much trouble.
No, it's okay.
I came to help.
Why would you? It's all right.
Dong Sik said he's coming.
- He did? - Yes.
We can do it by ourselves.
All right.
Fine.
- Bye. - Bye.
The reed field 50m down to the mouth of Munju Stream,
next to the stepping stone.
Jae Yi, please let your mom out.
("Superintendent of Munju Police Declares")
("Missing College Student Case Closed")
("Missing College Student Case Closed")
I didn't know you had a habit of playing with fire at night.
You saw it before. Why are you staring at it like that?
- Why did you not remove it? - Why do I have to remove it?
It will remind you every time you see it.
Are you talking about a trophy for the murder or something?
I've been looking at what I killed, cut, and put up
for 20 years to get vicarious satisfaction.
Is that what you're trying to say?
That's what I thought when I first entered the yard of this house.
Then I thought it might not be the case for a moment.
But I'm not sure now.
There's one thing I know for sure though.
Why did you put Min Jung's fingers here?
This version is quite creative.
Chief Nam Sang Bae.
Why would a man who only has a year to go before he retires
remove the security footage of the entrance of Manyang Supermarket,
the house of the missing person on the day of her disappearance?
I heard no one knew that security camera was working.
Well, someone who searched the whole neighbourhood
to find an elderly man with dementia
might've known.
He must've thought there were no cameras around the scene.
When he realized there was one,
how surprised would he have been? No.
Why would it be surprising?
The person who entered the house.
The person who came out of the house.
Because someone was filmed.
The reason Chief Nam Sang Bae had to take a risk
of walking into the police station to remove the security footage.
Who would have been filmed?
Nam Sang Bae himself? Someone who is more precious than him?
What did that person do
in that place that day?
I'm going to arrest Chief Nam Sang Bae.
Why would you arrest him? It's not something you can arrest him for.
It depends on how I spin it.
The higher-ups need a culprit, whoever that is.
Officer Lee Dong Sik, what are you going to do?
Hold on.
(Yoo Jae Yi)
I'll just take this call.
Yes, Jae Yi.
Dong Sik, I'm on my way to find my mom.
- What did you say? - He said she's under
the stepping stone 50m down to the mouth of Munju Stream.
The mouth of Munju Stream?
What are you talking about?
I think Jin Mook left her hairpin.
It's what my dad gave her when they got married.
So she would wear it only on important days.
It's what she was wearing on the day she went missing,
49 days after Dad passed away.
That hairpin
Kang Jin Mook brought it.
Listen to me.
If this is Kang Jin Mook's trap to kill me,
you must catch him with this.
You must catch him. Please do that for me.
What's the matter?
Move aside.
Move aside, you jerk!
(Munju Stream)
Min Jung.
It's what you wanted.
I'll let you leave this house.
Kang Jin Mook,
I'm arresting you without a warrant for
kidnapping, confining, and causing bodily harm to Kang Min Jung.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to an attorney and the chance to defend yourself.
You have the right to seek a writ of habeas corpus.
Now
Give me your hands.
Did you come alone?
No way.
Jeong Je?
Jae Yi.
Are you okay? What's up with your hands?
How did you come here?
Dong Sik sent me.
Darn it.
That's right.
Your life from now on
is
completely
finished.
(Dad, please let me out. Dad, it hurts. Please let me out.)
(Goodbye, Dad. I'm coming out now.)
