Tunnel (2017) s01e08 Episode Script

1
[TUNNEL]
Kim Seon Jae.
Seon Jae.
How could this happen?
Is that really you, Sergeant Park?
How do you two know each other?
Why did you bring up Mother?
30 years ago
he investigated your mother's case.
Oh, Father.
I think you are mistaken.
This guy is 30 years old.
He wasn't even born back then.
Really? But
he looks just like
Detective Park Kwang Ho.
Oh no.
Let's go have a cup of coffee.
Come with me. Follow me.
Let's have some coffee.
Who are you?
What's going on?
Answer me.
How do you know my mom's name?
I said answer me!
Because in 1986
I investigated that case.
Seriously, you punk.
How could you have
investigated that case?
Are you claiming to be
from the past again?
Tell the truth.
I'll kill you if you're lying.
I couldn't catch the killer.
I'm sorry.
Seon Jae.
You you really investigated that case?
That makes no sense.
That doesn't make sense.
Kim Seon Jae, you should
go to the hospital.
Your mother is in the hospital.
I don't know how this could happen.
That soldier is Kim Seon Jae's father.
How did we end up meeting him like this?
I know.
We ended up meeting like this
in the end.
[EPISODE 8]
It's nothing really.
Your father must have called you.
Are you feeling okay?
I feel better now that
I've seen my son's face.
I should get sick every now and then.
Then I can see you often.
I'm sorry.
I went to the place
your mom's ashes were spread today.
She mentioned that her chest
felt stuffy this morning.
I should've taken her
to the hospital right away.
It's my fault.
Both the living and the dead
I can't take care of anyone.
Earlier, at the police station
you know that detective you brought up?
The one who was investigating
Mom's case 30 years ago.
Was his name really Park Kwang Ho?
Yes, it was.
Detective Park Kwang Ho.
But I'm sure I saw wrong.
I heard he died while out in the field.
It can't possibly be him.
Maybe it was because
I went to see your mom today.
He just looked like that detective to me.
What kind of trick is fate playing?
Who knew we'd meet him again
here at Hwa Yang Station?
His son became a police officer too.
I wanted to find the person who did that
to my mother and kill him.
But what would change if I did?
Do you know what victims really want?
They want the culprits caught,
handcuffed, and admitting their guilt.
It is to punish them in prison.
Kim Seon Jae became a cop
because of his mom.
What?
To catch the killer.
I should have caught him back then.
Then he wouldn't have become a cop.
Which hospital did he go to?
Wow. Look how much
our Seon Jae has grown.
Seon Jae.
You're all grown up now.
This is the place.
I walked through this tunnel and
came from the past to the present.
So, why? For what reason?
I was chasing the killer.
The killer?
That punk who killed six women,
including your mom.
This is the tunnel
that Jin Sung Cheol talked about.
Let's go in.
It was here.
This is where Jin Sung Cheol's
sister Jin Seon Mi died.
It was really a serial murder case?
Back then, there was no such term.
We assumed it was an acquaintance,
so we looked into people she knew.
Strangely, we couldn't find a suspect.
We thought we could find
the killer in three days.
We couldn't find anything
even after a month.
And new cases kept popping up.
Lee Jung Sook, Kim Kyung Soon,
Hwang Chun Hee, Seo
Seo Hee Soo.
Kim Young Ja, Jin Seon Mi.
Wait, that Kim Young Ja?
Yes. How else do you think I knew
by looking at just one leg?
The dots on the back of the foot.
That's how I knew.
That crazy bastard liked to mark them
after he killed them.
One, two, three,
and even up to six people.
I knew it was the same person
because of those dots.
I became a cop and ran around
everywhere to find her killer.
But the case files burned in
a fire, so they were gone.
I couldn't even find out who had
investigated the case.
I couldn't even find an article,
so what dots?
I've never heard or seen
the things you're talking about.
That's because we never released it
to the public.
People kept dying.
Yet we couldn't catch the guy,
so the higher-ups were having a fit.
Sung Shik was on the case with me
and that's how he knew.
Our team leader?
He was right under my nose.
So you didn't know that Kim Young Ja
was a survivor back then?
I never imagined she was alive.
There was one set of dots missing.
I looked everywhere in this area
for the victim with five dots.
I never found her.
It ended up being because she was alive.
I could've gained some leads if I met
Kim Young Ja when she was alive.
You must have seen the killer's face.
The thing is I suddenly got knocked
out on the back of my head.
Think carefully.
You might remember something.
So you don't know who the killer is?
I would have caught him by now if I knew.
According to Sung Shik,
there hasn't been another case since.
So I thought that he had died.
I don't think so.
I'm sure he's alive.
The reason I was sent here from 1986
is because of that case.
I'm more certain of that now
because of you.
You're Seo Hee Soo's son.
What are the chances that
I'd meet you here in this world?
I'm sure there must be a reason.
Okay.
If you really are from 1986
who killed Park Kwang Ho?
Now you're asking the right question.
How did Park Kwang Ho know about
a case from 30 years ago?
Jin Sung Cheol from the karaoke said so.
He spoke about some man.
He said he was after him.
Park Kwang Ho was going after somebody.
I think Park Kwang Ho knew
who the killer was.
I think he got murdered
while chasing that person.
He knew who the killer was?
Do you believe me now?
One day, she said to me
Some guy told her that she'd look
really pretty in a skirt.
He has never seen the name
Hwang Chun Hee in murder reports.
If he hasn't seen them,
they don't exist.
[COFFEE SHOP EMPLOYEE IN 20S
FOUND DEAD AFTER MISSING FOR A DAY]
Lee Seon Ok was telling the truth.
You heard that Lieutenant Kim dragged
Kwang Ho in here in handcuffs, right?
Yes, everything's talking about it.
What happened?
If that guy used handcuffs on him,
there's got to be something to it.
Do you think the mood in there
will be terrible?
What is this abnormal peace?
I know.
Rookie, I heard you were brought here
in handcuffs yesterday.
What happened there?
Oh, this guy here was getting revenge
on me for the first day I met him.
Yeah right.
Lieutenant Kim,
you're hiding something, right?
What would there be to hide?
Oh, Professor Shin.
Sorry about yesterday.
I couldn't take your call.
Where are you?
Okay.
- Come on. Let's go.
- Where?
- What's going on?
- Hurry up.
- We'll be back.
- Okay. Bye.
- Drive carefully, Seon Jae.
- I will.
Today he's leaving
with a different partner.
It feels like some sort of theater play.
I don't like this feeling.
She really told you to come here?
Why? Do you know this house?
A high school student that was
a suspect used to live here.
What are you talking about?
This was Jung Ho Young's house.
Jung Ho Young?
Hey, Jung Ho Young.
You killed them, didn't you?
Mister, I did kill those dogs.
But I really didn't kill any people.
Yeah, his name was Jung Ho Young.
Hey, then the Jung Ho Young
you're looking for
Explain it so I can understand.
I brought in that Jung Ho Young
as a suspect 30 years ago.
18-year-old Jung Ho Young.
Hold on.
Then you're saying you met
Jung Ho Young in the past?
Then if the person you're chasing
is Jung Ho Young
what's the reason
you're so certain he's the killer?
Come on in.
He had killed all the dogs in the
neighborhood and buried them here.
He was young,
but he had a strong vibe.
How did you know to come here, Miss?
Jung Ho Young's first officially known
murder was 10 years ago.
He started by strangling his wife.
But I found out something interesting.
You know Lee Seon Ok?
Lee Seon Ok, who died recently?
Yes. Lee Seon Ok talked about her
friend during her interview with me.
A woman who was murdered
while dressed in a skirt.
All of Jung Ho Young's victims
were wearing skirts.
Jung Ho Young targets skirts too?
The victim type was the same,
so I looked through the records.
There were no case files.
But I did find an article from 1985.
It was something that really did happen.
This is Chun Hee.
Her name was Hwang Chun Hee.
How do you know that, Officer Park?
What did you mean that
the victims were the same type?
Jung Ho Young's first murder
I started to think it could've been
30 years ago, not ten.
When this murder occurred,
Jung Ho Young lived in this house.
It's not far from where
Hwang Chun Hee was murdered.
Also, there were articles about
two other murders that year.
The cases seem completely different,
but the victims are similar types.
They all occurred in Hwa Yang.
Hey, Park Kwang Ho.
Wait.
That kid really was the killer?
When you kill a person
do you need a reason?
If Jung Ho Young is the culprit
you know that man Park Kwang Ho
talked about to Jin Sung Cheol?
The one that Park Kwang Ho was after.
Wouldn't that be Jung Ho Young?
What?
We need to find him now.
No, it's not that easy.
No one could find him for two years,
so how will you find him?
Then are we supposed to do nothing?
We need to check whether it's him or not.
What did you discuss when you were
interrogating him two years ago?
That should be written in the statements.
Not that, but other conversations.
Did he say any other
personal things to you?
Personally to me?
I've killed more people.
They're cases that no one in this world
knows about with no records.
Yes.
I had already made the judgment
that he wouldn't confess.
I thought he might make a mistake
if I provoked him.
But he spoke of cases with no records
and that no one in the world knew of.
That's why I've been after Jung Ho Young.
Why do you ask?
I'll tell you once I'm sure.
Yes, Chief.
Where are you? We have a new case.
Come out here now.
We really should go after Jung Ho Young.
It will be faster for us to wait
while Professor Shin analyzes it.
I have no time to wait.
I thought this would end
if I found Park Kwang Ho.
I don't even know where Yeon Sook is.
Who is Yeon Sook?
So frustrating.
Gosh, look at this.
Is this arson?
We need to go in and check.
It's the fourth time
in this area already.
It smells off. It does.
This is a serial arsonist.
No one has died.
The problem is that it's a serial case.
That damn serial
You're getting these people
on video, right?
Over there. Min Ha is doing it.
Video? Why?
Arsonists always stay
at the crime scene.
Why are you filming a video?
Forget that.
Looks like the fire's out, so let's go.
We need to go inside to get something.
They sprayed so much water that
we won't be able to get any footprints.
Hey, Kim Seon Jae. Follow me.
The fire must've started here.
Yes, you're right.
You can see where the fire
was ignited and progressed.
You see that lighter there?
I think the arsonist started the fire
with that lighter.
It started there and spread.
I see.
What is this sound, though? Huh?
What is that?
Hey, Seon Jae! Get out!
Get out of here!
Oh, that scared me. Stay back!
Over there.
Park Kwang Ho, Park Kwang Ho.
Wake up, Park Kwang Ho!
Paramedics!
Detective!
Detective, Detective!
Get help!
Wake up, Park Kwang Ho!
Detective!
Get up, you punk!
Get up! Wake up, Park Kwang Ho!
Kwang Ho?
My Yeon Sook always liked dumplings.
The woman on the first floor
doesn't like them.
Who's the woman on the first floor?
Just a strange person.
By the way, Yeon Sook,
I met that kid.
That rude guy I mentioned before
is Seo Hee Soo's son.
Isn't it an amazing turn of fate?
I really wanted to catch
his mom's killer.
At least for her son's sake,
I wanted to catch him.
What will I do if he asks me
why I couldn't catch him?
Speaking of, I wonder
if Seon Jae is hurt.
I think I'm okay.
Also, Yeon Sook where have
you been all this time?
You waited a long time
for me, didn't you?
If you know that I'm waiting,
you should get up.
What did you say?
This can't be
This can't be a dream, is it?
Yeon Sook?
Yeon Sook, don't go. Yeon Sook!
Don't leave, Yeon Sook.
Yeon Sook!
Yeon Sook
Yeon Sook Yeon Sook
Yeon Sook!
Hey, Rookie.
Are you okay? Do you recognize me?
You're the rookie.
He's okay.
He's back to himself.
Oh, what about Kim Seon Jae?
Is he okay? Where is he?
He's just fine over there.
Kim Seon Jae, aren't you injured?
Would I get hurt?
That kid.
Now, how could you do such a poor job
with putting out the fire?
What? You nearly killed my team!
You think I can't go there, punk!
You wait right there!
Hey, Park Kwang Ho!
I told you not to suddenly
disappear on me.
Are my words a joke to you?
It's your fault I hate losing people.
Do you know how I feel? Huh?
You better stop speaking
so informally to me.
I'm sorry, Chief.
You think sorry is enough?
That's enough. He's awake, isn't he?
They said nothing's wrong except for
the debris that hit his head.
Oh yeah?
I'll let you off the hook
since you survived.
All right, let's go then.
Kwang Ho, get some rest.
Why would I rest?
I should get the guy who put
this hole on the back of my head.
- I'll get him, so
- Hey, Kim Seon Jae.
You haven't found a suspect yet?
Then you can come investigate with us.
Okay.
Let's all work together then.
Whoever it is,
we'll get them within three days.
Let's go.
Thank you, Chief.
Hello there.
Goodbye.
I came because I thought you were hurt.
I'm relieved.
I would have been
if not for Park Kwang Ho.
Park Kwang Ho, you say
Is he someone you can call by that name?
You still haven't explained it to me.
Well, that's
I can't really explain it.
I'm sorry, Professor.
There is one thing I can tell you.
He has nothing to do with the death
of the real Park Kwang Ho.
If anything
he is the person looking into
the truth about his death.
What do you mean by that now?
I'll get going for now.
Have you ever felt paramnesia, Professor?
You mean déjà vu?
I've had that every now and then.
Why do you ask?
I'm certain it was
my first time at this place.
Yet I had this sudden recollection.
Where was it?
There are many explanations
for paramnesia.
As you know, Professor Shin,
it could be a memory.
You may be wrong that
it was your first time there.
You could have been there in the past.
At the very least,
you could have passed by.
It may have been something you didn't
store in your memory at the time.
A person's memory isn't really whole.
Was it a memory of Korea?
Yes.
Professor Shin.
Did you find that case from 30 years ago?
Yes.
There really were
similar victims that existed.
Do you really think it was Jung Ho Young?
The victim type is definitely the same.
But there is something different.
What is it?
All four dressmaking shops
were empty during the fires.
The fires were set during lunchtime
between noon and 1:00 p.m.
As you can see from the pictures,
the culprit entered the stores.
Then the fire was set with this lighter
and the arsonist escaped.
So it's someone who knows when
the store owners leave their stores.
You shouldn't talk.
Tae Hee, what did the person
who reported it say?
The store owner across from it called,
but she didn't see anyone.
She said there was a fire
on the mannequins.
We heard from the forensics team.
The gas explosion was due to the rubber
hose on the gas range that was cut.
That's why it happened.
Rookie, you could've been hurt
very badly.
Yeah, I nearly died
instead of going home.
What about that video or whatever?
Isn't there anyone suspicious there?
We nearly filmed something awful.
Tae Hee and Min Ha,
find out everyone's identities.
Get CCTV from the area too.
Kwang Ho and Seon Jae,
talk to all the other victims.
Check to see if they have any enemies.
Get going.
Are you really okay?
You said you were just glad I was alive.
I really thought my heart
was going to stop.
Why are you doing this?
You have your wife to think of.
What if you can't make it back?
It's fine.
No, I just don't get why you
Hey, we couldn't even catch the killer.
If we let that kid get hurt too,
I would be so ashamed.
Don't you think?
Oh, you startled me.
Why? What now?
Thanks.
What? I couldn't hear you.
Say that again.
That kid.
Oh, my head hurts.
Just how long do I have to
leave it like this?
We need to catch who did it
so this doesn't happen again.
Do you remember the customers
who came by before the fire?
I didn't have any customers
in the morning.
My sister from Seoul came,
so we went to have lunch.
Then this happened.
Does anyone have a grudge against you?
Anyone you argued with recently
or anything like that?
You said she called it in, right?
What was she doing watching it burn
this much when she's right there?
Did she call it in late on purpose?
Why? Is there a reason she would?
She always complained that
I was stealing her customers.
I don't know who she thinks
she is to say that.
You said you found a lighter, right?
She's a total chainsmoker.
She is really funny.
I called the police for her
and she said what?
Where were you when the fire started?
In the store, of course.
I saw the flames
and called the police right away.
Look at this.
This is Oh Young Dal,
who sells cell phones.
Oh Young Dal.
This is Han Soo Won,
who runs the health store.
I helped out a lot when there was a fire.
Han Soo Won.
Who is that guy?
Why are his shoulders shaking?
He's not laughing, is he?
Who is he?
- I don't know.
- You said you'd know everyone.
I know everyone
who works in the market.
Who is that?
Min Ha, what about a different angle?
We don't have a different angle.
We better find out who he is first.
[FATHER]
You should stay longer.
You're not feeling well.
I keep worrying about other things
because I'm here.
I'm more comfortable at home.
Give me the car keys.
I'll drive.
Why bother going out of your way?
I just thought you should know
she was getting discharged.
You should get going.
Stop watching. That's enough.
Detective!
Paramedics! Hurry!
Seriously!
You really don't listen.
Is that why your head is
Oh, this? It's nothing important.
Just a little hole.
If you say it's nothing important,
it means it is something.
What nonsense are you saying?
Anyway, he is laughing, isn't he?
It's a trait of arsonists.
They relieve their stress or need
by lighting a fire.
Do you have any other footage?
I'm sure he must have revealed his face.
Arsonists like to get attention
from people.
He sounds crazy.
What is it?
Who's playing pranks at this hour?
Must be some neighborhood kids.
Go in and sleep.
[SUSPECT]
If the angle was a little turned,
we'd see his face.
I'm sure the arsonist lives within
a radius of one kilometer.
The store owner across from it called,
but she didn't see anyone.
She said there was a fire
on the mannequins.
She wouldn't be able to see
the mannequins from her store.
What are you saying?
I saw the flames
and called the police right away.
Detective Kwak.
Are you sure the caller reported
the flames came from the mannequins?
Of course. I checked the call that
was recorded at 911. Why?
That's right.
You can't see the mannequins from here.
You can't see it from here.
So why did she lie?
She wouldn't know
unless she saw it herself.
You're saying that I lied?
Is this the view from your store,
Kim Sook Jin?
Yes, that's right.
Why do you ask?
Can you see the mannequins
from your store?
No, probably not.
Then why did you call in saying that
there were flames on the mannequins?
That's because Hee Joon told me so.
Who is Hee Joon?
He's my son.
Wait, hold on.
Seriously, how freaking annoying.
What? You're setting
a person's place on fire.
You're calling us annoying?
You rude little punk.
What is this?
Get over here. Get over here!
Gosh!
Get over here.
What are you doing?
Kim Hee Joon, you are under arrest
for the crime of arson.
You have the right to be silent,
but don't exercise it.
Are you going to use a lawyer?
They cost money, man.
Also, everything you say can
and will be used against you. Got it?
Hey, Kim Seon Jae.
Make sure you write in the arrest report
that he called us annoying, okay?
I'll write it twice. Happy?
Yeah.
Don't mess around.
I think the person who reported it
was a witness.
A lighter was used
to set newspapers on fire.
Everyone was shocked.
For something like this to happen,
and a fire too.
Professor Shin found an interview.
He's really something.
He lit the fire, then got his mom
to call and report it.
He even interviewed as a witness.
You laugh? Hey, hey!
You're overreacting.
I told you he would've shown his face.
You look like you're okay too,
Lieutenant Kim.
Hey, I think she came to see you.
Where's the arsonist?
Is that him?
Oh, it is him. Sook Jin's son.
I thought he was studying
for civil exams.
Studying? He's a criminal!
What did you do after checking
that no one was around?
I looked around and then went inside.
- Inside here?
- Yes.
Min Ha, take a picture.
- I got it.
- Go inside.
Then what did you do?
I lit the newspapers with my lighter
by the mannequins.
Try it. Sit down with the paper.
Here's the lighter.
Where did you get the paper from?
I brought them from home.
Min Ha, take a picture.
- Did you get it?
- Yes.
You got it? Don't light it for real!
Take it away. Take the lighter away.
Get up, punk.
They still have tailor shops.
What is this?
Why is Yeon Sook here?
What is this?
What's going on?
Hey!
Hey, Sung Shik.
- Hey.
- Yes?
What is this?
Sister-in-law!
Sister-in-law?
You said Yeon Sook wasn't in the records?
Yeon Sook is right here!
She had such good hands.
How do you two know Yeon Sook?
- I'm her hus
- Wait.
She's the wife of
one of my seniors long ago.
Ah, is that so?
Then would that be
the husband who passed away?
Yes, I worked with that husband.
Oh, I see.
She suffered a lot living on her own.
Where is she now?
Where can we go to see her?
I don't know that either.
She suddenly stopped coming to work.
Why? Why did she stop coming?
Did something happen to her?
At first, I worried a lot,
thinking something had happened.
She wasn't the type of person
to not show up without telling me.
I didn't know her number
or where she lived.
I couldn't do anything about it.
She never talked about herself very much.
I only found out about her dead husband
through several other people.
But I later found out
why she left like that.
She remarried and moved to Seoul.
What are you talking about?
- Remarried?
- Yes.
There was a man who used to follow
Yeon Sook around back then.
He's not here anymore,
but he worked in a pharmacy here.
He came to our shop a few times.
He was good-looking.
He was a pharmacist too.
I pushed her so hard
to make it work with him.
She never said a thing at the time.
Why would you push
when she had a husband?
Then should she hold onto a dead
husband and live alone?
All men are like this.
This can't be true.
Yeon Sook wouldn't remarry when I'm here.
Let me go.
Detective.
Do you happen to remember his name?
Hold on now
It was Yoo something.
Oh right. Yoo Sung Jae.
It was Yoo Sung Jae.
It's been 30 years.
It's a few months for you.
It's been 30 years for us.
You already knew, didn't you?
That's why you said that nonsense
about no records, right?
I knew how desperate
you were to find her.
I would have told you if I had
that kind of information.
This wouldn't have happened
if I hadn't come here.
Who cares about the killer?
Detective
I've never even thought
about the possibility of this.
But like you said
it has been 30 years.
You can't live alone for 30 years.
You can't do it.
What kind of woman would wait 30 years?
What kind of guy is it?
He must make good money
since he's a pharmacist.
My Yeon Sook must not
have suffered, at least.
He wouldn't have left her
waiting like I did.
On her birthday
they probably rode the ferry together.
Gosh, seriously.
What should I do, Sung Shik?
Should we find her or not?
I know the man's name,
so we can find the pharmacy.
Maybe I shouldn't look for her
when she's living a good life.
So don't look for her?
Yeon Sook
Why are you acting so not like yourself?
Just find her,
and if she is living well
you can watch her from afar.
What is the problem?
I'm scared she might have forgotten me.
It's been 30 years.
It's because I'm scared she forgot me.
His name is Yoo Sung Jae.
He is in his late 50s to mid 60s.
He worked at a pharmacy
in Hwa Yang 30 years ago.
Look into it and let me know. Thanks.
[MISSING NURSE, FOUND STRANGLED ON HILL]
[CORPSE FOUND ON MOUNT OHJUNG]
Why did he change
his method of body disposal?
Did he change?
He definitely changed.
Why did he change?
Culprits don't change their MO easily.
Either they get caught on camera.
Or they may change it if they feel
they're in danger of getting caught.
What happened in between
these two incidents?
Only one thing happened
to cause him possible stress.
A CCTV was installed by a victim's work
and he got arrested due to it.
That makes sense then.
It's strange though.
The order should be switched.
It shouldn't go from burying
to displaying.
It should go from displaying to burying.
That's the way to continue murdering
without getting caught.
That's what I find strange too.
Also, if the murders from 30 years ago
were all committed by Jung Ho Young,
it makes less sense.
None of the articles mention burying.
Displaying, burying,
then displaying again?
When he first started burying,
he must have had a reason.
Why is he now displaying the corpses
as if he's doing it for show?
He knows someone will spot them soon.
What if he disposed them there
purposely for someone to see?
Was Ho Young really with you?
That was Father's book publishing party.
Listen carefully.
You were with me that day.
You were with me.
You understand, don't you?
In those beautiful eyes
I can see tears.
What were you so saddened by
that you are crying?
When you are in front of me
I do not like your tears.
The eternal dream we have
let us make it true.
Mister
I have a baby a baby.
I had to go.
Sorry to leave so soon.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Have this. You haven't eaten all day.
Here you go. Goodbye.
Were you looking for me?
Yes, uh
Are you Yoo Sung Jae?
Yes, I am.
30 years ago
did you happen to work
at a pharmacy in Hwa Yang?
Yes, I did. How did you know?
- What's this about?
- Oh, well
Is your wife home?
My wife?
My wife is on vacation with my daughter.
Are you looking for my wife?
Your wife's name is Shin Yeon Sook,
isn't that correct?
Detective, Detective!
It's not true!
What's not?
His wife is not Sister-in-law.
What?
Is that what the rumors were?
It's true that I liked her.
Yeon Sook was a good woman.
But I was set up with my wife
and got married.
It's been over 20 years now.
We're not asking to hear
about that right now.
I apologize.
So if you liked her so much
why didn't you marry Shin Yeon Sook?
Hey.
It's okay. Please go on.
Well
I told her how I felt,
but I got rejected.
I told you.
Yeon Sook was waiting for me.
I knew that her husband had died.
So I told her it was okay with me.
As long as she was okay with it,
I told her to come be with me.
Look, her husband is alive and well,
so why would she go to you?
We need to find out the story.
She said she had a child.
What did you say?
She said she had a child?
Yes.
She said her husband might come back.
She said she'd raise her child
and wait for her husband.
What was that child's name again?
She took one character each from
her husband’s name and her name.
That's how she named her.
Yeon Ho.
That's right. It was Yeon Ho.
Yeon Ho?
Yeon from Yeon Sook.
Ho from Kwang Ho.
Sung Shik, Yeon Sook is pregnant.
Yeon Sook is raising my child
and waiting for me.
By the way,
do you know where she was living?
I really don't know if she's still there.
It's called Mooyoung Eastern Medicine.
She rented a room there.
We're not open now.
What brings you here?
My husband really adored Yeon Ho.
They lived in that room there.
She was busy working
in that dressmaking shop.
She helped out here every now then too.
She was such a likeable young woman.
Then when did she move out?
There are no records,
so we can't find her.
She didn't move out.
You must not know.
Excuse me?
She died in a car accident.
What?
It was over 20 years ago.
No.
Grandma
are you sure you're not mistaken?
You're sure it's my Yeon Sook?
It's not someone else?
Why would Yeon Sook die?
Hey, Sung Shik.
Why would Yeon Sook die? Why?
Detective.
She got in an accident
on her way home from work.
They took her to the hospital right away,
but it was too late.
No way.
She said she was waiting.
Yeon Sook said she'd wait until I came.
Which hospital is it?
I can't believe it
until I see for myself.
Where is it?
Shin Yeon Sook
came into the ER in 1992.
A drunk driver crashed into her taxi.
What did you need to check?
[APRIL 12: DIED OF HYPOGLYCEMIC SHOCK]
She died?
Yes, she died of shock the next day.
What kind of hospital is this?
- Why did Yeon Sook die?
- Stop.
You shouldn't do this.
I'm sorry. I am.
Are you sure it's Yeon Sook?
Is it Yeon Sook?
Why couldn't you save her? Why?
Why!
Let's go now. Come on.
No, this can't be true, Sung Shik.
I'm sorry.
What about a child?
There was a child named Yeon Ho.
Were they together?
No, she's not in our files.
The only people that came in were
Shin Yeon Sook and the taxi driver.
Wait, where are you going?
Yeon Sook is waiting.
She's waiting for me to come home.
Wait. Detective.
- Tae Hee, if this isn't urgent
- Chief, this is big.
Jung Ho Young killed again.
Did you find anything else?
You're here?
Did Park Kwang Ho come with you?
He's not picking up his phone.
I don't think he can come now.
Check her ID.
Lee So Yeon, 25 years old.
Did you find her cell phone?
You didn't call her family yet, did you?
Here you go.
[MOM: 57 MISSED CALLS]
My gosh
Young lady.
Your mom is waiting for you.
Let's go home now.
Kim Seon Jae.
Do you think this is Jung Ho Young?
It's the same MO. It's him.
[PROFESSOR SHIN JAE YI]
It's been three months since a woman's
body was found at Hae In River.
Another body has been found,
raising the anxiety levels of citizens.
People are already wondering
if this was Jung Ho Young.
I said not to follow him.
Just quietly wait for him to make a move.
These are theories with no proof.
It failed again.
Did you hear about it already?
It was because of you,
Lieutenant Kim.
What? What are you referring to?
I was wondering why Jung Ho Young
changed his method of body disposal.
Jung Ho Young used to bury
his victims in the mountains.
Why did he suddenly display the body
at Hae In River?
Since he got caught by you
two years ago
his first murder was
the Hae In River case.
What do you mean by that?
I think he wanted you to see the body.
Jung Ho Young told you he had
something more fun to tell you.
Perhaps
Jung Ho Young had buried
some memories of 30 years ago.
You may have inadvertently
poked at them.
He will murder again.
No, he may have already killed.
Because you need to see and react.
He will be waiting for that reaction.
It won't be in another precinct,
but close to you where you can see it.
So what you're saying is
Jung Ho Young murdered and
didn't bury the body for me to see?
Why would he do such a thing?
I think you've become a trigger,
Lieutenant Kim.
How did you feel when you killed people?
Did you enjoy it
when the women couldn't breathe?
Or did it excite you?
It's possible that
he has started the same kind of
murders as the ones 30 years ago.
He started murdering again because of me?
Yeon Ho, are you okay?
Goodness, what happened?
I called for my mom,
but you came.
What?
My mom told me.
If I blew on this whistle
when I was in danger
she said she would come running.
She said she would be listening,
no matter where she was.
She must be busy working.
That's why she must have sent you
in her place, Grandma.
Isn't that right?
Yes, I came in her place.
Did your mom buy you that necklace?
No, Mom says it was a gift
she gave to my dad.
It's pretty, isn't it?
Yes, it's as pretty as you are, Yeon Ho.
That little thing
She would blow that whistle
whenever anything was wrong.
The only time her mom couldn't
go to her when she heard that whistle
that was the first
and last day it happened.
It was that day.
She got into that car accident.
The whistle.
What is this?
It's a present.
Blow it if you're in danger.
I'll come and rescue you.
[TUNNEL]
What changes if we get Jung Ho Young?
Yeon Sook is dead, so why does it matter?
I was like you and couldn't do anything.
But how do you think your child,
who lost her mom, feels?
Find your daughter,
solve the case, and go back!
Stop it from happening.
Go back and save Yeon Sook.
The problem is that
it's not easy to catch Jung Ho Young.
You won't be able
to catch him by searching.
You don't want the investigation to fail.
Set a trap, hold your breath,
and wait for him to fall for it.
You need to let him know
you are the bait.
You seem to be good at planning this.
