Zombie Detective (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

1
It might help you get your memory back.
On Christmas, we planned something.
You and me, just the two of us.
-Plan? What do you mean?
-You really don't remember that day?
Even that girl?
The person who kidnapped that girl,
killed her, and planned this whole thing
was you.
Don't be ridiculous.
And you are the one
who dumped the body into the reservoir.
I just followed your orders.
If it weren't for you,
that girl could have lived.
Because of you,
things got all messed up,
and my life fell into even more of a rut!
Do you know that?
That's not possible.
It's not that you don't remember.
You don't want to.
You said that that girl will solve
all of our problems.
You killed her.
If it weren't for you, that girl could
have gone back to her family and lived.
Why the hell did you do that? Why?
Please help me.
Please help me.
No. That's not possible.
It can't be.
I kidnapped
and killed her?
No way!
I know you are having a hard time.
It can't be easy to accept.
Then, why did I do that?
It was to save that poor girl.
To save her?
But I couldn't save her in the end.
Because of you, she died…
But
I'm happy for you.
I'm so glad that you're back.
I
really thought you were dead.
Let me clarify just in case.
Don't think about doing anything rash.
Seeing someone die…
Once is enough, isn't it?
I'm sure you don't want that.
And neither do I.
Waking up as a zombie
was a terrible nightmare for me.
But no matter how terrible it was,
I did not give up because of…
my hope that I could become a human again.
KIM MOO-YOUNG PRIVATE DETECTIVE OFFICE
Since I found out who he is,
I should ask for a bonus.
Come on. Pick up the phone.
INTERN
But to humans,
I am just a monster.
The person you have reached
is not available.
Why isn't he answering?
Sun-ji.
Hey, Do-hyun. What are you doing here?
You're heading home, right? Get in.
Nice. Perfect timing.
Did you have a good day?
You seem to be in a good mood.
Yes, I did have a good day.
I'm in a good mood, so tell me anything
you want. It'll be my treat.
So what are you buying?
-Anything you want. Just name it.
-Get in.
All right. Let's eat.
-Gosh.
-Amazing!
So cool!
-There you go.
-Bottoms up.
By the way, how did you come
to know about that stuffed bunny?
That?
Yes. It wasn't found
at her home or the crime scene.
I received a tip-off.
-A tip-off?
-Yes.
From whom?
I can't give you my source,
but once it becomes concrete,
I'll tell you then.
You got lucky with the cult case,
but it's different this time.
He kidnapped a little girl and killed her.
And he even attacked the witness.
What I am saying is,
you don't know
when, where, or whom he might attack.
That's why I will tell you
when it becomes more substantial.
You know that
I jump to conclusions too often.
I can't waste the police's resources.
Promise to tell me first then. Okay?
Stop nagging and eat this rice cake. Eat.
It's hot.
Is it hot? I'm sorry.
Hey, that's not it.
First, eat the heart.
Okay? Then, get the chives, kimchi,
and tripe. Roll them and eat them
in one bite. This is the bomb.
-It's a new world of flavors.
-Right?
Hey, wipe your mouth. Wipe it with this.
Does your boss have a lot of work?
I haven't seen him all day.
I know, right? I'd like to know
where he is or what he's up to now.
You know, it's about your boss.
How can a man have such smooth skin?
It's on a whole new level.
It's glossy like porcelain.
I really like men with good skin.
He applies BB cream. He might not look
like it, but he takes care of himself.
On top of that,
he's the epitome of masculinity.
He's making me so eager to tame him.
He's so wild like a beautiful beast.
True. He sure is a beast.
I'll give you that.
Gosh. Why am I so thirsty?
-Gosh, you must've been thirsty.
-Would one glass be enough?
Na-yul, bring
another cold glass of beer over here.
Yes, you're the only one
who looks out for me, Bo-ra!
Lately, the business
at the restaurant has been going down.
Have a drink. Go ahead
and order anything today.
It's my treat today!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
I deserved to die.
Perhaps, my death wasn't enough.
That may be why I am atoning
for what I did as a zombie.
Now that I know about my disgusting past,
I don't want to live even for a moment.
To a zombie,
his brain is the most vulnerable spot.
What?
Is it because it's old?
2A 1
I boiled the potatoes for a long time,
so they are nice and warm.
-Where is Tae-kyun?
-What?
He had already gone out when I woke up.
He's probably wasting his time
looking for investors.
He should really give up on filmmaking
and look for a different job.
Why would he give up?
Right, Joon-woo?
Yes, my friends told me
that Dad's movie is really fun.
Of course.
Tae-kyun is too far ahead of his time.
But he is never behind the times.
So what?
So he should keep making…
No, what I'm saying is that it'd be great
if he can keep up with the time.
So he needs to keep up with the time.
But I wonder where he went this morning.
Good morning!
What? He's still not back?
Unbelievable.
Is he working on some cases alone?
His chicken is still here.
A photo of Hyung-chul? Why…
The fact that Kim Moo-young
has asked me to help him
needs to spread all over Gangrim.
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy.
He's gone mad. Hey. Hey!
Why spray our precious water on your face?
Are you a plant or something?
Are you some weed?
Don't you know about face mists?
We must start taking care of our skin
when we're in our 20s.
You'll need more help with that.
Let me see.
A face mist?
WORLD KING DETECTIVE AGENCY
What is this? She works for Detective Kim.
I think you're at the wrong office.
Your office is across the street.
You took this picture, didn't you?
No. I haven't seen this before.
Look at the corner. Here.
PUMPKIN SEEDS
-Pumpkin seeds.
-Oh, my!
You really have good eyes.
-Detectives must be discreet.
-I'm sorry.
Mr. Kim asked you to do it, right?
Why did you take a picture of Hyung-chul?
I cannot disclose my client's information
under any circumstances.
Moreover, I cannot give up on
my 20-year-long principle as a detective.
So leave.
So you can't tell me.
That's right. Leave.
By the way, you know
what a shot put is right?
I do. So leave.
I used to throw shot puts back in the day.
This can be a dangerous sport.
-If I throw it like this,…
-What the…
-Geez.
-Like this.
-Or like this.
-Goodness.
She's crazier than we had expected.
Hey! You think
you can scare us into talking?
Oh Hyung-chul actually
stole the lighter from him and--
-Be a professional. Come on.
-Sorry.
"Lighter"?
KIM MOO-YOUNG PRIVATE DETECTIVE OFFICE
Why would Hyung-chul steal his lighter?
This means Mr. Kim knew something was up.
When did you say
he was attacked by the culprit?
It's been about two weeks.
We should
be careful around him.
Then why didn't he tell me anything?
Bo-ra, let me ask you for a favor.
I must check some medical records.
RESTRICTED ENTRY
HIKING TRAIL CLOSED
I will put an end to everything here.
-Mister, you can't climb over there!
-Okay.
You can't hike here. Jeez.
Be it a zombie or a human,
nothing in life goes as planned.
Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim?
Mr. Kim Moo-young? It's you, right?
-Mr. Kim?
-No, I'm not.
-Aren't you Sun-ji's boss?
-No, I'm not.
How do you know her? I just saw your face.
How do you know her name? It's you.
-I just saw you. You're Mr. Kim.
-No, I'm not him.
-No.
-Yes, you are .
Mr. Kim.
Did you perhaps…
get beaten up by Sun-ji?
Your eyes are bruised.
I put on some disguise
because I need to infiltrate somewhere.
I see. I was so shocked to see your face.
I am sorry about that.
To tell you the truth,
I came here for my project, too.
What project?
It's a secret.
But I'll tell you
since we hit it off last time we met.
A zombie lives on this mountain.
People say it's just
my fantasy or fictional,
but I believe
that zombies do exist in our world.
And in our neighborhood, no less.
You're looking at him, you fool.
So you need to be careful too.
You can't just roam
around the mountain alone.
A hungry zombie has an appetite big enough
to eat a grown man in one sitting.
-I see.
-Yes.
-Keep that in mind.
-Okay.
-I need to go as I'm busy.
-Okay.
-Goodbye.
-Sure.
He must've gotten scared.
I will stop by your office next time.
Sure.
But that's the way down.
There is a shortcut here.
-That's to the mountain.
-Yes, I know.
I should find another mountain.
GOOD MOUNTAIN
RECOMMENDATIONS IN KOREA
I'm on my way to meet Hyung-chul now.
Oh Hyung-chul?
Don't think about doing anything rash.
Seeing someone die…
Once is enough, isn't it?
The person you have reached
is not available.
He's damn lucky.
How can he survive after getting shot?
What's that for?
To repair the house.
It'll be the monsoon season soon.
We should get ready early on.
By the way,
the guy from yesterday… It's him, right?
Who?
You know, you said
that he was dead.
Didn't you?
He is dead.
So you have nothing to worry about.
Is someone here?
Hello, we met at the hospital.
Is Hyung-chul inside?
-Well…
-I have something to tell him.
It'll only take a moment.
-Hello.
-Hello.
You were home.
There was something
I wanted to tell you in person.
It won't take long. Just five minutes.
-Sure. Come in. This way.
-Okay.
I apologize for barging into your home
unannounced like this.
I just wanted to tell you this in person.
What is it?
I received a tip-off on the Santa case.
A tip-off?
Yes. I met the informant in person.
And the tip-off sounded reliable.
After seeing what happened to you,
the informant wanted to catch the culprit
and mustered up the courage.
I'm very grateful.
The day So-ri was abducted,
the dashcam of a parked car
must've captured the culprit.
I wanted to watch it with you.
And you might be able to remember
more things if you watch the video.
-What about the police?
-Come on.
The TV network should run
this kind of big scoop before the police.
I went through a lot
when I was investigating
this Santa case.
I see.
Your arm must be feeling better.
I heard you fractured it.
Yes. I recovered a lot.
My doctor told me to exercise my arm.
Hyung-chul, you're hiding
something from me, aren't you?
-Excuse me?
-I looked into your medical record.
According to the doctor,
it wasn't a fracture, but a stab wound.
Why are you wearing a cast?
What are you getting at, Ms. Kong?
Now that you work for a detective
after quitting your job at the TV network,
are you saying that I lied to you?
Ma'am! Please call the police now.
Please hurry.
What's going on? What's happening?
Just call the police. Please!
-Open the door. Okay?
-Call them now.
This is a misunderstanding.
What's going on?
I don't know what your boss told you.
But it's not what you think,
so open the door.
Ms. Kong!
What's going on?
Did my husband do something wrong?
I'll explain everything to you later.
Please call the police already!
Now!
You found out.
What?
Are you okay?
She's not dead, is she?
I'm sorry, Ms. Kong.
I didn't mean to deceive you.
Things just ended up that way.
On the day of the interview,
you asked me to tell you what happened.
The face I saw at the reservoir that day…
How could I forget it?
For the past year,
I haven't forgotten it even once.
I see it every day.
If only you hadn't come to us
asking for an interview,
then, you wouldn't be in this mess.
Do you know how scared I was?
My wife…
just did what I told her to do.
You don't believe me again.
She figured everything out. What now?
I'm thinking.
-What if it splatters everywhere?
-How about some plastic sheets?
Is this alive?
It's dead.
I know that.
You should go before the sun sets.
The same travel bag should do it, right?
Yes.
Buy the biggest one.
So the strap doesn't break like last time.
It was a hassle.
Seriously, Mother.
Don't touch that with your hands.
You can't even eat it.
It's okay. Eat something else.
Eat up.
Take your time and drink some water.
I'll get going then.
Mom, eat your meal. Okay?
We have no choice. We can't get caught.
It hurts, right?
It hurt for me too.
I won't let you leave.
Help!
Someone help me!
Mr. Kim.
-Are you okay?
-You knew from the start, didn't you?
Why didn't you tell me?
Did she also
find out everything?
Hyung-chul…
No.
Oh Hyung-chul was Santa.
So was I.
His wife was an accomplice.
You were just asked to find So-ri.
What? I was asked to find her?
So-ri's father had hired you.
You were a private bodyguard.
So you were never a suspect
in the investigation.
Gosh. I had no idea.
I let a murderer be on TV.
Let's get you treated first.
Then we can talk.
No, I'm okay.
I've been
an investigative writer for years.
I'd be nothing
without my dogged determination.
Your forehead is bleeding, you dummy.
What?
Sun-ji,
Wake up!
Kong Sun-ji!
Right. I'm so scattered-brained.
Just a minute.
Where are you going?
Let go of me.
Let go!
Let me go!
Are you okay?
You were supposed to tell me.
Why go in there alone?
What if it had gone wrong?
Oh, my head.
Kim Gyeong-mi was arrested.
Oh Hyung-chul is on the run.
You have to catch him. You have to.
We will. No matter what.
Get some rest.
I'll come back once you recover.
Mr. Kim. What about Mr. Kim?
He was definitely with me
before I passed out.
I didn't see him.
Bye.
You think a private detective can do
whatever he wants? She almost died.
People like you will do anything
to make some money, so you might not care.
but her…
Sun-ji is not like you.
I am warning you.
Don't come near Sun-ji from now on.
Got it?
You don't have to worry about that.
But what about the favor I asked you?
I talked to the family.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I didn't do it for you.
I did it for Sun-ji.
I can't just sit here like this.
-What is this?
-Must we go this far?
Didn't you hear Do-hyun?
She'll cause trouble again if she leaves.
Sun-young.
Sun-young, open the door!
Sun-young!
-Wait.
-No!
-Wait.
-I'm sorry.
Your hand. No.
My hair!
-Sorry.
-That's my hair.
-That was my hair.
-Sorry.
Ms. Kim Gyeong-mi, you know
where your husband is headed, right?
You should answer that fast
for your husband's sake.
Okay?
Hey!
Do you have any idea
what you two have done?
You killed a little girl.
An innocent girl!
How do you sleep at night?
Let go!
People like you are rotting our world.
You're no better than animals!
On December 25, 2018,
a man in a Santa outfit kidnapped
and killed a girl named Kim So-ri.
The leading suspect
of the Santa kidnapping case…
He lied to me?
…is on the run.
Oh Hyung-chul was Santa.
His wife was an accomplice.
The person who kidnapped that girl,
killed her, and planned this whole thing
was you.
The police are using
the nearby CCTV cameras
-Mom!
-to find out the fugitive's…
-You're here. Want to get some yummy food?
-Yes.
You were just asked to find So-ri.
Hadn't you done that,
that girl could have gone back
to her family and lived.
There is something that I'm missing.
What could it be?
Hello.
I told you not to do anything stupid.
How dare you do this?
Are you trying to make me go insane?
Tell me.
What is it that you are hiding from me?
What happened on that day?
Do you want to know?
Do you want the truth?
I told you.
Seeing someone die…
Once is enough.
Tell me now.
Hey, man. I'm doing this for you.
Where are you now?
I should've made sure
he was dead that night.
Do-hyun. They found Oh Hyung-chul's car
at the intersection toward Mount Chowol.
Mr. Hwang.
I'll take care of the rest. Go now.
Let's go.
Hey. Where…
I think
there's been an incident in our city.
Look it up.
Still not done yet?
I can speak Korean,
but I'm not used to writing it.
Bear with me.
At the time of the kidnapping,
you were at the scene.
Weren't you, Ms. Kim Gyeong-mi?
You need to answer my questions.
My gosh.
Something big definitely
happened in Gangrim.
Mr. Hwang.
-Hey, what's up?
-This must be a big case.
No, it's nothing.
This lady…
Yes, it's her. This lady…
Do you know her?
Sure, I know her.
What's going on?
That's what I want to know, too.
But she won't even say anything.
-Move.
-Hey. What…
Name, Kim Gyeong-mi. Age, 28.
Blood Type, O.
Zodiac sign, Libra.
Favorite food, pancakes.
Favorite singer, Song Ga-in. Wait.
It recently changed to Lim Young-woong.
She met her husband
at an elementary school.
But their marriage isn't registered.
It's just a common-law marriage.
And according to Ms. Choi,
a regular at Gangrim Hair Salon,
they can't conceive babies.
But they're still very affectionate…
You're infertile?
We really
tried to raise her well.
You were going to
raise the girl you kidnapped?
Was this Oh Hyung-chul's idea?
Did he want to kidnap her after the show?
He deserves our compassion.
Come out. Let's talk outside.
Hey.
Did you know?
I never planned the perfect crime
everyone is talking about.
-I planned the perfect life instead.
-I told you to come out.
After losing something precious,
I realized…
that what I had was very precious.
That my life wasn't all that bad.
Where are you?
What was precious to me was my family.
But today…
I lost another family member.
I really wanted
to live a good life this time.
Hadn't you gotten involved…
If only you hadn't shown up…
So you want to know the truth.
It's my gift to you.
Dying…
would be better than living.
So-ri, what do you want for Christmas?
Dad.
So-ri, you must miss your dad a lot.
This Christmas,
he's definitely going to play with you.
Really?
Of course.
MIster, please help me.
So-ri!
Please help me.
Please help me.
There's no blood in my body,
but it feels like it's boiling.
I have no heart,
but I can feel the fire in my heart.
That was how my life ended in this world?
Mom.
It's all over now.
We will live a new life.
Now, we have no one
but each other in this world.
We must be there for each other.
Okay?
How…
Why did you do that?
Why?
Why?
Your memory must have come back.
How could you kill
that innocent little girl?
If you hadn't come looking for her,
she and I could have lived happily.
-What?
-I wanted to be her real dad.
It was Christmas.
It was the day every child waited for.
It was Christmas.
You crazy…
He sure seems to never die.
Mom, let's go now.
Okay?
Mom.
Let's go now.
It's all over now.
Mom, let's go.
Mom, let's go.
How are you still alive?
Today will be the day that you and I
go to hell.
Why can't I kill you?
Why? Because you had
already killed me a year ago.
Die!
Just die!
How come you're still alive? How?
Are you all right?
Min-ho.
My son, Min-ho.
Min-ho.
Kang Min-ho, hurry up and get up.
Come on. Wake up now.
What's with you?
What? What happened to your face?
Did you get into a fight again?
Whatever.
Gosh.
When will you stop getting into fights?
When will you grow up?
That hurts, Mom.
Grow up!
You were an athlete.
Put it into good use, not fights.
You should get a job or do something.
Come on.
Stop nagging me about jobs.
Mom. If I make a lot of money, I'll get
you a cushion with money inside. Wait. No.
Forget the cushion. I will make a blanket
filled with 50,000-won bills for you.
Okay?
Goodness.
I'd be happy to hear it
if you said that after getting a job.
Jobs…
Just come out and eat.
I made your favorite, tripe stew.
Tripe stew?
You know what?
I think your tripe stew is
the best tasting dish in the world.
Let's go.
Look at these wounds
on your handsome face.
That will leave a scar.
That will leave a scar.
My son.
Oh, my boy.
Mom. Mom!
Mom!
Mom, stay with me. Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom.
Mom, open your eyes!
Mom! No!
Mom.
Mom.
His family all died in a fire
when he was seven years old.
Oh Hyung-chul was the only survivor.
And the fire took place
on Christmas of all days.
Mom.
Mom…
Mom.
Mom.
HEDAM FUNERAL HALL
I heard that she had a son.
But where is he?
How is Mr. Kim the chief mourner?
He's kind to a fault.
He's such a nice man.
I was reminded of my mother.
She passed away when I was young.
I was too young, so I don't remember much.
Let's pay our respect.
FUNERAL HALL
Thank you for coming all the way here.
We must drink on a day like this.
-Drink it up.
-That's good.
It pooped right in front of my house.
That little dog always tries
to fight Hodoo. Gosh, that mutt…
Let's go for the second round.
There's a karaoke bar nearby.
What now?
Why did you invite all the delivery ladies
from the neighborhood?
There should be
a lot of people at funerals like this.
Every Christmas,
you dressed up as Santa
in place of So-ri's dad.
You couldn't do that last year
because your mother was sick.
Remember what I told you?
You are a good person.
FROM N-DEPTH 70 MINUTES
-Tae-kyun.
-Yes?
Thank you for coming today.
No need to thank me. I should be there
for people during sad occasions.
But when you were tearing up
while talking about your mother earlier,
my heart ached a bit.
Gosh. I'm okay.
Sun-young would be the same, right?
Breaking news.
A corpse presumed
to belong to Oh Hyung-chul,
the leading suspect of
the Santa kidnapping case,
was found at a hillside in Gangrim.
Based on the fact that
his ID card was found on his body
and the description matches the one
when he was being pursued,
the police believe
that it is indeed Oh Hyung-chul's body.
However, since the corpse was
badly damaged, they won't be able to
-identity the body for sure.
-The corpse was damaged?
Gangrim Police Station,
in charge of investigating this case,
will send the corpse
to the National Forensic Service
for an autopsy in order to identify
the body and the cause of death.
-Tae-kyun, take this.
-It's hot!
I'm no longer
human.
I guess zombies and humans
won't be able to coexist.
Zombies can never survive
without eating humans.
I need to get away from here
-as soon as possible.
-Congratulations on becoming
-The number one detective in Gangrim
-The number one detective in Gangrim
Mr. Kim!
Mister, what's wrong?
I also believe that people are willing
to risk their lives for true love.
I found a way
to suppress your zombie instincts.
I'm alive and back in hell
as Zombie Detective.
