Hello Monster (2015) s01e11 Episode Script
Birth of a Monster
1
(Remember You)
I'm still alive.
I really
(Episode 11)
I really thought I was going to die.
I thought
that was the end for me.
But you survived.
Yes, thanks to you.
I thought of my dad.
I found out how it felt,
the feeling
and how scary it was
to realize that I could die soon.
Maybe my dad
Forget it.
The conclusion is,
in that short moment,
I had all kind of thoughts in my mind.
Another thing that scares me is
that I could never see you again.
You see me now, right?
Yes.
Well
I always do that when I have a close call with death.
What on earth did I just say?
So, don't put too much meaning into it.
Do you know about the conservation law for one's species?
When the animals are in danger of dying,
they will reproduce to extend their species.
What's that about extending the species?
Why did I have to mention about reproduction here?
So what I mean is
It was just an instinct.
I'll go unpack my stuff.
I'm glad that you came back alive, safe and sound.
Cha Ji An.
Thank you
for finding me.
(Residential Murder and Robbery, Suspect in His 20s)
(Residential Murder and Robbery, Suspect in His 20s)
This is
Detective Yang's missing notebook.
Don't you think it's time for us to meet?
I'll be waiting for you.
So this is your answer, Lee Joon Young.
(Birth of a Monster)
(Residential Murder and Robbery, Suspect in His 20s)
(Receipts, Gas Station)
(Savings Account)
Whatever the end is,
whatever I find out or encounter,
I'm going to stop running away from now on.
Is it a good thing that I came back alive?
I should have just died right there.
What's that nonsense about instinct?
Why did I have to mention about reproduction back then?
Seriously.
You seem busy.
No. I have time.
Why?
I think Lee Joon Young had visited here.
(Mogyo Plastic Surgery Clinic, Saegi Plastic Surgery Clinic)
(Heo Kyung Doo Plastic Surgery Clinic)
(Bonji Plastic Surgery Clinic)
Looking at the records in the notebook,
Detective Yang had searched all plastic surgery clinics
throughout the country.
But there's no way Lee Joon Young would leave any records.
Anyway, he did run around to find things
and got all the way here to this case.
The disappearance of an entire family.
In 1993, including a family living in the same house
and people who worked inside the house,
a total of 13 people had disappeared overnight
and the case is still unsolved.
Was it really Lee Joon Young's doing?
If not, Lee Joon Young wouldn't have returned that notebook to me.
He probably
wanted to show us who he is.
That startled me.
What does he want us to find here?
You heard about that.
The villagers said
there are ghosts in this house!
I'm not really afraid of living people
even if they are holding guns or knives.
But I'm pretty weak when it comes to ghosts.
Let's go together.
What painting is that?
Purgatory.
Purgatory?
According to Catholic doctrine,
before the spirits of the dead people go to heaven,
it's a place they stay momentarily to expiate their sins.
Right.
I've heard about that before.
Did someone
want to expiate someone else's sins?
Where are you going?
(Uncle, That child came up to the door.)
That child came up to the door.
What are you plotting, Uncle?
What is that?
This is a coffin, right?
It looks like it.
Aren't these human remains?
As you can see.
It was a female.
A female?
The female pelvis is different from the male pelvis.
It's the same thing for the eye sockets.
Females tend to have round eye sockets
and males have more angular eye sockets than females.
Same goes to the nasal bone and the nostrils.
For males, it's usually longer and narrower than this.
If we look at the remaining neck bones, was it broken?
A cervical fracture?
There's a gap between the hipbones.
Looks like this female had given birth.
You even know how to examine bones?
It's just a rough examination, so it may not be accurate.
I can only make a rough guess for the years.
We have to report it to the police.
If this was a murdered body,
then who put this here and why?
I don't know. Not even a clue.
She had a Catholic necklace.
If her death was a suicide,
then, don't you get the answer?
Suicide is not allowed in Catholicism,
so she was expiating her sin here before going to heaven.
Let's say it's not a suicide, but a murder.
Judging from the remaining bones,
it's at least 20 to 30 years old.
That means, even if it was a murder,
it has already passed the statute of limitations.
Then how do we take care of this?
We should send it to the person who should receive it.
Human remains?
Okay.
I got it.
Yes.
The forensic car will arrive soon.
- Let's go. - Where?
To find the ghost who was following us.
Right?
There was something, right?
No wonder there was a cold feeling at the back of my head,
as if someone was watching me.
Let's go together.
Were you waiting for me?
You were waiting there to tell us
about what had happened,
weren't you?
It's a place where I visit every once in a while.
It was the first time I met someone by chance.
That's why I watched you.
Let's say that's the case.
But
you're still going to come anyway, right?
Most of what I know is hearsay.
The first time I went to that house
was when I was in middle school.
You could say that I went there to work a part-time job.
That's when the old ladies told me the story.
I guess the main character of this story
is the one whose remains
were found earlier.
The owner of the remains
was
the youngest daughter of the household.
One day, the youngest daughter came home
in black and blue.
She was the precious daughter of the family.
The household was in chaos.
After a while, her belly started to get big.
The family
kept quiet about it and hid the truth.
Then, the baby was born.
The first thing he heard
when he came into this world was
Get that thing away from me.
By any chance,
was the baby born from sexual assault?
Anyway, without even being registered into the family registry,
he grew up being locked inside the house.
Like someone,
he was an outstanding kid,
who could see through people.
His mother, his family and even the employees
hated and despised him, but were also afraid of him.
Because of that, that kid spends most of his time
incarcerated.
When someone came to see him
Checking my mom's mood was my daily routine.
"I'll be able to sleep well tonight."
"I guess I won't be able to sleep today."
Then,
I'd count numbers on the days I got beaten.
Once,
twice,
three times.
Four times,
five times,
six times.
On the days Grandpa drank alcohol
The things you said during the interview with my dad.
My dad
thought they were all lies.
But they were not.
Perhaps they were true.
Then, one day
After his mom committed suicide,
that child
was incarcerated for good.
It was about that time
when I saw him for the first time.
I was in charged of giving him his meals.
I was probably the only person who got to meet him.
Sometimes, I would also secretly bring him books.
Do you remember
his face?
Of course.
How can I forget?
Team Leader.
Claps!
Okay.
As we celebrate Team Leader's return,
I'll cut the cake as the representative.
I'm tearfully thankful that all of you welcomed me like this.
The thing that I experienced this time is
it's fine
to have a close call with death once.
When I was on my way here, after being discharged from the hospital,
the world seemed so glittering.
I realized the importance of daily life and work.
I realized the importance of coworkers, and
Where is Cha Ji An?
Ji An?
I saw her a while ago.
Here she comes.
Team Leader, you're back.
Why are you so busy when we don't have any cases?
Come here and have some cake.
Dave, you can eat it or not.
Let's say that I've had some.
I want to cut that finger off.
Don't mind him. Just let him do whatever he wants.
Let's just celebrate it among ourselves.
The cake looks good.
It's very delicious.
We were going to eat it?
Not to smash Team Leader's face into it?
- What? - How can you play with food?
That's ridiculous.
My goodness!
- Are you okay? - My goodness.
That day
The day when everyone disappeared.
What happened on that day?
I
released him.
Then I turned around,
and someone
It must have been him.
He hit me from behind
and I fainted.
And the scene that I saw was
the dead people.
It's been a while,
Mom.
Is this a touching reunion of a mother and a son?
Lee Hyun
will come here soon.
Is that so?
What are you thinking?
What is the reason for calling your older brother out here?
What is it that you want,
Min?
What about you, Uncle?
You even live next door to him.
You wanted to see him again more than anyone else,
am I right?
Maybe I did.
You should answer.
I just
wanted to let him know.
About what?
I'll get going.
You said he'll be coming here soon.
I don't want him to find out about me this way.
That won't be fun.
I want to let Hyun know
what being abandoned
is like,
what being not remembered and forgotten is like,
what is it like when you feel like you're vanishing.
I want to show him
what I have become
after I was abandoned.
Attorney Jung?
Did you just meet with Dr. Lee?
I was just passing by.
My office is near here.
I see.
Are you busy right now?
From what I heard, the skeletal remains belonged to
a female who had given birth and she committed suicide.
I think it's about right.
It was a female
and not an accidental death from what I examined.
How did you discover this female?
There is this person who I wanted to meet.
So I sent him a message, and his reply
came back in this way.
Why did he send me a reply like this?
What could be the reason that he wanted me
to discover this female, and for me to hear
about her story?
Both of you had been a great help in solving the previous case.
So I would like to hear your thoughts as well this time.
Do you think this female would have something to do
with the story of the person growing up?
What the person wants is probably for you
to listen to his story,
and to understand him.
Or maybe,
he is expecting sympathy from you.
Just like how a child throws a tantrum, don't you think?
Possibly.
He has a point. No matter who anyone is,
it's normal
for a person to want to be understood
by even just one person.
That's right.
That's how weak human beings are,
no matter how strong they may look.
What both of you say does make sense,
but
I don't want to understand him,
nor do I have sympathy for him.
I'm at the mart. Do you need anything?
I told her that she's still a patient.
Did something else happen?
No, that's not it.
Anyway, it is fun to talk to both of you.
It has been a great help as well.
That's what I think too.
Then, why don't we continue our discussion
while having tea in my room?
That's a bit
Rather than that, how about having a glass of soju together?
I thought you didn't like soju
I don't think you would like soju.
I'm adjusting to Korea in many ways.
That's a very positive adjustment.
Soju is good.
I'll call you.
Which one is fresher?
Don't you even know how to pick cucumbers?
Did you go to the autopsy room?
Right, I've verified the address of the woman earlier, Park Joo Ah.
Well done.
She must have been in touch with Lee Joon Young.
She appeared like she's been waiting for us.
What about the information on the bones?
Do they match with what Park Joo Ah said?
Roughly the same.
Right.
I'm thinking to treat Dr. Lee Joon Ho
and Attorney Jung to dinner.
Why would you?
They came with you to save me,
and they aren't even the police.
But how did the two of them
- come with you? - You don't have to do that.
What?
You don't have to treat them anything.
Why?
And also,
don't get too close with the two of them.
But why?
Just because.
Just because why?
Are you jealous?
That's impossible.
You said you have problems with your neck and back, right?
Yes.
I had a physical fight with a jerk not long ago
and it kind of went overboard.
It must have been a good one.
Yes, I almost died and barely survived
The pillow you are now looking at
is the second best pillow in the world.
Why don't you ask what is the best pillow in the world?
- What is it? - Don't ask.
That is serving as each other's arm pillow
for a loved one.
It's a new one.
I'm tired.
Goodness. This is good.
Except for that guy earlier.
What arm pillow?
The date in Jang Il Joo's fake bankbook matches
the date of the murder with a body.
Does that mean my arrival in the country
had caused him stress?
What did I do back then?
Why did I come back to Korea?
What sort of work did I do?
Whom did I meet with?
Do you need my help?
No, this is my hobby.
That's a good hobby,
for someone else who stays in the same house.
But what should I do?
I can't just laze around in my bed all day.
It's fine. Keep on lazing around.
Stalker.
After I interrogated that pervert stalker,
I find the word stalker very disturbing.
Do you remember why I came to Korea in November 2011?
How would I know that?
There's no way I'd remember something so long ago.
You can't, right?
I think it was for a conference about the social problems in Korea.
You came back to attend that
and gave a special lecture while you were here.
I see.
What about December 2012?
I said I don't know.
That was for a conference about the criminal policy in Korea.
I see.
What about in 2013?
That was your first summer vacation
after you got appointed as a professor.
You have a really bad memory.
Because those times were stagnated to me.
Fine.
Tell me everything you can remember
about who did I meet
or if any special occasions happened back then.
In celebration of the publishing of your book,
you had a mini fansign event with your fans.
Then the girls would gather around and scream, "Professor!"
as if they saw an idol.
They would even give you presents with ribbons.
You don't remember?
It appears I was pretty popular back then.
As I said earlier,
there is always someone with a weird preference.
Hello, Professor.
The gift boxes I received every time I came to Korea.
But I never opened any of them.
Nor did I understand their meaning.
I even erased them from my memories.
What is it?
You're quite useful sometimes.
I'll wait for you.
Until you tell me about your younger brother first.
My mind is complicated.
Did someone say anything about it?
It's me. I have a favor to ask.
I really hate English.
The case was reported at around 7am.
The first eyewitness is a jogger.
I've received the witness report,
but I'm going to check it again myself.
So a minor was murdered in this case.
This doesn't feel good.
Why are you two coming together?
- Work hard, Ji An. - Okay.
We are carpooling.
To save petrol for the sake of the environment.
Where is it?
No. What is it that I heard again?
I need to leave first.
I have a guest.
I won't be going home today.
See you.
Gosh! You scared me!
You don't seem to be fully awake yet.
How dare you make that sound?
What was it again?
The estimated time of death is
between 10pm to 1am or 2am last night.
As you can see, the cause of death
is by head injury due to an assault.
But
I suspect internal bleeding as well.
There are signs of bruises here.
Isn't that a sign of continuous abuse?
It could be.
No phone and wallet.
I don't see anything we can identify him with.
We'll go to verify the time.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I can tell that it was done by his peers at first glance.
They think his identity won't be found
by ripping off the school badge and
getting rid of the wallet and phone.
That's their level of thinking.
Do you think this is school violence?
It doesn't seem like a one-time assault,
but rather a repeated assault over a long period of time.
Usually in a case like this
It is either domestic violence or school violence.
It seems the real crime scene was somewhere else than here.
Look at the dirt on his shoes and the wound on his hands.
Skin injury due to friction.
Yes.
It looked like someone dragged him on his back.
Then, we must find the crime scene first.
We have to search
all the CCTV footages
from here to the victim's house and around the school.
You are totally a detective now.
He seems to have malnutrition.
His uniform seems a little too big compared to his body size,
even with consideration of his growth period.
Looking at the brand of his shoes and bag,
I think he's from a well-off family.
They even picked a spot with no CCTV to dump the body.
It seems to be a perfect spot
to be used as a hideout for bad students.
Then, the parents or teachers
might know about this place too,
in order to keep an eye on them.
I heard the criminals
are like profilers sometimes.
You are like a profiler too, Dr. Lee.
Is that so?
I kind of feel bad for him though.
He looks like a nice kid.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Yes, every day is enjoyable these days.
It's fun to investigate cases with you as well, Lee Hyun.
Young Jae!
Young Jae!
Young Jae. It's Mom.
Goodness.
Young Jae.
Young Jae.
Young Jae was adopted.
But in my heart, I gave birth to him and raised him myself.
He's more precious than my own child.
Please catch the killer.
Speaking of which, didn't you say that you were suspecting some kids?
Yes.
You said there was school violence
at Young Jae's school, right?
We'll investigate it
and catch the perpetrator.
But where were you coming from?
From your house?
Or from your company?
Dave, that was really rude of you.
Sorry about that.
Was I rude?
Can I take a look at your house?
If you have nothing to hide.
Lee Hyun.
There's not even a diary after we searched all over the house.
He wasn't even on any social media.
There's nothing at all.
Things don't seem to fit. No.
You could say it fits very well.
What do you mean?
His appearance like his clothes and bag are branded.
But his things in the house are dirty and cheap.
Just like you are wearing clean clothes, but your house is dirty.
Did you steal it?
I borrowed it.
Something is indeed not right.
Is it emotional abuse?
What?
Joo Young Jae was often bullied by the delinquent students.
His homeroom teacher was going to request
a school violence committee meeting a few months ago himself.
There is something weird about it,
but I'll tell you when we get there.
I'll send the list of those kids and their addresses to you first.
I'm already on it.
Yes. I got it.
Nice.
I'll go and check to see if these kids are home.
Okay.
- Then I'll check the CCTV footages. - Okay.
It's a package from overseas for Professor David.
May I know where his desk is?
Dave?
No, David.
- Dave is David. - What?
Dave is David. Give it to me and I'll pass it to him.
No, I have to give this to David myself.
Hey, Dave! You've got a package.
He is David.
I'm David.
Min has been sending me messages continuously all this while.
Asking me to find him.
And perhaps
asking me to stop him.
What in the world are these?
The hints to solve the riddle don't match with the questions.
So the questions are not to be solved by using the hints.
Looking at the patterns of the code,
they contain the same sort of messages.
It's a mirror image of left and right that's turned upside down.
In that case, both of them are duplicated messages.
It's a code to be solved with the questions without the hints.
Then,
using binary numbers in black and white
A code
Firstly, investigate these people.
And find out if they have any stories.
What stories?
Like if there were any family problems or breakups with lovers.
Or if they were related to murder or violent cases,
or abandoned by someone
The reason for murder.
Why do I have to investigate that sort of thing?
Just do it for me.
And among their stories,
find what they have in common in those three.
- And also - What else is there?
You know the photos I gave you?
The photos of the suspects?
Yes.
Find out if those three people
knew anyone in those photos
and how they are associated.
That's too much.
You come to visit me too often.
You're making me work too hard.
I'm asking you a favor.
A favor?
Did you just ask me a favor?
Even so,
I don't have any ability to investigate all these.
Are you an ordinary art dealer?
Of course not.
I'm a big shot in the art world in Korea.
See? You're a great person.
Yes, I am, but
Yes, it's an ability of yours.
Use your network.
Seriously.
What does art have to do with me investigating this?
Everything in the world is related to art.
- Don't you think? - Of course, it is.
How much time should I give you?
Seriously.
One month?
Two days.
At least give me a week.
Fine.
We settled on three days.
Hey! What do you mean settle?
A settlement is made when both
I really want to
Why aren't they showing up?
How many days has it been?
These jerks are not even going home.
This is the place they visit the most.
They will probably show up sometime.
I'm not cut out for stakeouts.
Hey, kids.
Hey, don't run!
Gosh, I don't really want to run.
Hey!
Hey, why did you run when I called you?
Follow me.
Is your body okay?
Do you have any aftereffects?
What?
No, I don't.
What about you, Team Leader?
Well, as you know.
My body is pretty well trained.
Yes, right.
Yes, Myung Woo.
- Did you catch them? - They said they caught them?
We'll go back too. Okay.
Then, let's go.
Hold on.
What's wrong?
There's something I want to make sure of.
I'll see you at the office.
Why are you here?
Is that true, honey?
Your dad is so funny.
Look at this.
They don't look sad for someone who just lost their child, do they?
Then, let's go.
I want to confirm something.
It's possible for us to get their testimony as testifiers, right?
We have the right to remain silent.
Of course, you do.
Hey, you delinquent students.
We're going to find the CCTV footages soon.
The forensic reports will come out soon as well.
Fine. Try to last.
Let's see how long you guys last.
An interrogation in the presence of the attorney.
It's not bad.
My position is to listen to whatever Professor Lee has to say,
so please tell us. Anything is fine.
That's okay, right?
What is it that you want to say?
I want to know your alibi
at the time of Joo Young Jae's death.
Is there even a chance that the parents are the culprits?
I don't know.
But I do think that they are suspicious.
Are you saying that we killed our own child?
This is just my speculation.
An assumption. You know, right?
This is just a subtle feeling of mine,
but I thought it was strange from the moment you saw
your dead son in the autopsy room.
Your parents were acting strangely.
Right?
Your outfits weren't right for someone who came after hearing of
the death of your son who had been missing for the whole night.
Not to mention about your exaggerated acting.
You didn't even turn your eyes away once,
looking at your son's body beaten to death horrendously.
Right.
I also caught you trying to give a hint about the culprit
when you were giving your testimony.
You didn't sound like you were blaming them,
but rather giving information.
And?
You neglected your son who was bullied by the delinquents.
When the homeroom teacher requested a school violence committee meeting,
the parents came up and stopped him.
There were traces of emotional abuse in your house.
And your phone records are weird too.
The son you gave birth with your heart didn't come home all night.
But you didn't even make a call or send a message to him. Why?
You either didn't care about him at all,
or you already knew that he had died.
What kind of nonsense is this?
You're such an interesting person.
The truth is, you wanted to abandon Joo Young Jae, didn't you?
Very desperately.
I found the CCTV footage.
See? I told you it's those students.
Arrest them immediately.
What I'm curious about the most is this.
Did you wish for Joo Young Jae to die?
I went too far, didn't I?
What about this?
It was a relief that Joo Young Jae died.
Right?
So?
Let's say that's true.
Do you
have evidence?
There was an eyewitness.
How could they do that?
Joo Young Jae could have lived if they reported it to the police.
Can't you do a face recognition?
It was dark and the quality is bad, so we can't identify the face.
That was interesting.
But,
there is no way to prove it.
If you can prove it,
Article 273 in Criminal Law
can be applied as an abuse case.
But there's no way to prove it.
As of now.
Anyway, they didn't directly kill him.
They might have abandoned him though.
Right?
Isn't it better for you to at least tell me the truth?
We need to eliminate the possible cause for problems.
According to Article 23 in the Attorneys' Code of Ethics,
an attorney cannot reveal the secrets of his client.
If I break it, it's considered a breach of confidentiality.
So please tell me.
The truth is
Did you really find it?
I told you I wasn't an ordinary art dealer.
Was the person inside the envelope a murderer?
No.
Did you see it?
No.
So you really didn't see.
Good job.
I wanted to see it, but I got scared.
I had this feeling that I might get hurt if I know about it,
so I couldn't look.
I don't even know whether it's a photo
or the story you mentioned before inside the envelope.
Why aren't you looking at it?
You've worked hard.
I've worked hard?
Yes.
Seriously.
Why is he even scarier when he's being polite?
You
There are only people who abandoned you.
And there's no one who remembers you.
Your parents,
your siblings,
or your friends
There's no one.
But I will
remember you.
What? What is this?
(Remember You)
The place where my instinct points me to
may be
where I didn't want Min to be the most.
What's going on?
I've requested for backup in front of the house.
If you are really Min,
No way.
What should I do
to show my remorse?
(Remember You)
I'm still alive.
I really
(Episode 11)
I really thought I was going to die.
I thought
that was the end for me.
But you survived.
Yes, thanks to you.
I thought of my dad.
I found out how it felt,
the feeling
and how scary it was
to realize that I could die soon.
Maybe my dad
Forget it.
The conclusion is,
in that short moment,
I had all kind of thoughts in my mind.
Another thing that scares me is
that I could never see you again.
You see me now, right?
Yes.
Well
I always do that when I have a close call with death.
What on earth did I just say?
So, don't put too much meaning into it.
Do you know about the conservation law for one's species?
When the animals are in danger of dying,
they will reproduce to extend their species.
What's that about extending the species?
Why did I have to mention about reproduction here?
So what I mean is
It was just an instinct.
I'll go unpack my stuff.
I'm glad that you came back alive, safe and sound.
Cha Ji An.
Thank you
for finding me.
(Residential Murder and Robbery, Suspect in His 20s)
(Residential Murder and Robbery, Suspect in His 20s)
This is
Detective Yang's missing notebook.
Don't you think it's time for us to meet?
I'll be waiting for you.
So this is your answer, Lee Joon Young.
(Birth of a Monster)
(Residential Murder and Robbery, Suspect in His 20s)
(Receipts, Gas Station)
(Savings Account)
Whatever the end is,
whatever I find out or encounter,
I'm going to stop running away from now on.
Is it a good thing that I came back alive?
I should have just died right there.
What's that nonsense about instinct?
Why did I have to mention about reproduction back then?
Seriously.
You seem busy.
No. I have time.
Why?
I think Lee Joon Young had visited here.
(Mogyo Plastic Surgery Clinic, Saegi Plastic Surgery Clinic)
(Heo Kyung Doo Plastic Surgery Clinic)
(Bonji Plastic Surgery Clinic)
Looking at the records in the notebook,
Detective Yang had searched all plastic surgery clinics
throughout the country.
But there's no way Lee Joon Young would leave any records.
Anyway, he did run around to find things
and got all the way here to this case.
The disappearance of an entire family.
In 1993, including a family living in the same house
and people who worked inside the house,
a total of 13 people had disappeared overnight
and the case is still unsolved.
Was it really Lee Joon Young's doing?
If not, Lee Joon Young wouldn't have returned that notebook to me.
He probably
wanted to show us who he is.
That startled me.
What does he want us to find here?
You heard about that.
The villagers said
there are ghosts in this house!
I'm not really afraid of living people
even if they are holding guns or knives.
But I'm pretty weak when it comes to ghosts.
Let's go together.
What painting is that?
Purgatory.
Purgatory?
According to Catholic doctrine,
before the spirits of the dead people go to heaven,
it's a place they stay momentarily to expiate their sins.
Right.
I've heard about that before.
Did someone
want to expiate someone else's sins?
Where are you going?
(Uncle, That child came up to the door.)
That child came up to the door.
What are you plotting, Uncle?
What is that?
This is a coffin, right?
It looks like it.
Aren't these human remains?
As you can see.
It was a female.
A female?
The female pelvis is different from the male pelvis.
It's the same thing for the eye sockets.
Females tend to have round eye sockets
and males have more angular eye sockets than females.
Same goes to the nasal bone and the nostrils.
For males, it's usually longer and narrower than this.
If we look at the remaining neck bones, was it broken?
A cervical fracture?
There's a gap between the hipbones.
Looks like this female had given birth.
You even know how to examine bones?
It's just a rough examination, so it may not be accurate.
I can only make a rough guess for the years.
We have to report it to the police.
If this was a murdered body,
then who put this here and why?
I don't know. Not even a clue.
She had a Catholic necklace.
If her death was a suicide,
then, don't you get the answer?
Suicide is not allowed in Catholicism,
so she was expiating her sin here before going to heaven.
Let's say it's not a suicide, but a murder.
Judging from the remaining bones,
it's at least 20 to 30 years old.
That means, even if it was a murder,
it has already passed the statute of limitations.
Then how do we take care of this?
We should send it to the person who should receive it.
Human remains?
Okay.
I got it.
Yes.
The forensic car will arrive soon.
- Let's go. - Where?
To find the ghost who was following us.
Right?
There was something, right?
No wonder there was a cold feeling at the back of my head,
as if someone was watching me.
Let's go together.
Were you waiting for me?
You were waiting there to tell us
about what had happened,
weren't you?
It's a place where I visit every once in a while.
It was the first time I met someone by chance.
That's why I watched you.
Let's say that's the case.
But
you're still going to come anyway, right?
Most of what I know is hearsay.
The first time I went to that house
was when I was in middle school.
You could say that I went there to work a part-time job.
That's when the old ladies told me the story.
I guess the main character of this story
is the one whose remains
were found earlier.
The owner of the remains
was
the youngest daughter of the household.
One day, the youngest daughter came home
in black and blue.
She was the precious daughter of the family.
The household was in chaos.
After a while, her belly started to get big.
The family
kept quiet about it and hid the truth.
Then, the baby was born.
The first thing he heard
when he came into this world was
Get that thing away from me.
By any chance,
was the baby born from sexual assault?
Anyway, without even being registered into the family registry,
he grew up being locked inside the house.
Like someone,
he was an outstanding kid,
who could see through people.
His mother, his family and even the employees
hated and despised him, but were also afraid of him.
Because of that, that kid spends most of his time
incarcerated.
When someone came to see him
Checking my mom's mood was my daily routine.
"I'll be able to sleep well tonight."
"I guess I won't be able to sleep today."
Then,
I'd count numbers on the days I got beaten.
Once,
twice,
three times.
Four times,
five times,
six times.
On the days Grandpa drank alcohol
The things you said during the interview with my dad.
My dad
thought they were all lies.
But they were not.
Perhaps they were true.
Then, one day
After his mom committed suicide,
that child
was incarcerated for good.
It was about that time
when I saw him for the first time.
I was in charged of giving him his meals.
I was probably the only person who got to meet him.
Sometimes, I would also secretly bring him books.
Do you remember
his face?
Of course.
How can I forget?
Team Leader.
Claps!
Okay.
As we celebrate Team Leader's return,
I'll cut the cake as the representative.
I'm tearfully thankful that all of you welcomed me like this.
The thing that I experienced this time is
it's fine
to have a close call with death once.
When I was on my way here, after being discharged from the hospital,
the world seemed so glittering.
I realized the importance of daily life and work.
I realized the importance of coworkers, and
Where is Cha Ji An?
Ji An?
I saw her a while ago.
Here she comes.
Team Leader, you're back.
Why are you so busy when we don't have any cases?
Come here and have some cake.
Dave, you can eat it or not.
Let's say that I've had some.
I want to cut that finger off.
Don't mind him. Just let him do whatever he wants.
Let's just celebrate it among ourselves.
The cake looks good.
It's very delicious.
We were going to eat it?
Not to smash Team Leader's face into it?
- What? - How can you play with food?
That's ridiculous.
My goodness!
- Are you okay? - My goodness.
That day
The day when everyone disappeared.
What happened on that day?
I
released him.
Then I turned around,
and someone
It must have been him.
He hit me from behind
and I fainted.
And the scene that I saw was
the dead people.
It's been a while,
Mom.
Is this a touching reunion of a mother and a son?
Lee Hyun
will come here soon.
Is that so?
What are you thinking?
What is the reason for calling your older brother out here?
What is it that you want,
Min?
What about you, Uncle?
You even live next door to him.
You wanted to see him again more than anyone else,
am I right?
Maybe I did.
You should answer.
I just
wanted to let him know.
About what?
I'll get going.
You said he'll be coming here soon.
I don't want him to find out about me this way.
That won't be fun.
I want to let Hyun know
what being abandoned
is like,
what being not remembered and forgotten is like,
what is it like when you feel like you're vanishing.
I want to show him
what I have become
after I was abandoned.
Attorney Jung?
Did you just meet with Dr. Lee?
I was just passing by.
My office is near here.
I see.
Are you busy right now?
From what I heard, the skeletal remains belonged to
a female who had given birth and she committed suicide.
I think it's about right.
It was a female
and not an accidental death from what I examined.
How did you discover this female?
There is this person who I wanted to meet.
So I sent him a message, and his reply
came back in this way.
Why did he send me a reply like this?
What could be the reason that he wanted me
to discover this female, and for me to hear
about her story?
Both of you had been a great help in solving the previous case.
So I would like to hear your thoughts as well this time.
Do you think this female would have something to do
with the story of the person growing up?
What the person wants is probably for you
to listen to his story,
and to understand him.
Or maybe,
he is expecting sympathy from you.
Just like how a child throws a tantrum, don't you think?
Possibly.
He has a point. No matter who anyone is,
it's normal
for a person to want to be understood
by even just one person.
That's right.
That's how weak human beings are,
no matter how strong they may look.
What both of you say does make sense,
but
I don't want to understand him,
nor do I have sympathy for him.
I'm at the mart. Do you need anything?
I told her that she's still a patient.
Did something else happen?
No, that's not it.
Anyway, it is fun to talk to both of you.
It has been a great help as well.
That's what I think too.
Then, why don't we continue our discussion
while having tea in my room?
That's a bit
Rather than that, how about having a glass of soju together?
I thought you didn't like soju
I don't think you would like soju.
I'm adjusting to Korea in many ways.
That's a very positive adjustment.
Soju is good.
I'll call you.
Which one is fresher?
Don't you even know how to pick cucumbers?
Did you go to the autopsy room?
Right, I've verified the address of the woman earlier, Park Joo Ah.
Well done.
She must have been in touch with Lee Joon Young.
She appeared like she's been waiting for us.
What about the information on the bones?
Do they match with what Park Joo Ah said?
Roughly the same.
Right.
I'm thinking to treat Dr. Lee Joon Ho
and Attorney Jung to dinner.
Why would you?
They came with you to save me,
and they aren't even the police.
But how did the two of them
- come with you? - You don't have to do that.
What?
You don't have to treat them anything.
Why?
And also,
don't get too close with the two of them.
But why?
Just because.
Just because why?
Are you jealous?
That's impossible.
You said you have problems with your neck and back, right?
Yes.
I had a physical fight with a jerk not long ago
and it kind of went overboard.
It must have been a good one.
Yes, I almost died and barely survived
The pillow you are now looking at
is the second best pillow in the world.
Why don't you ask what is the best pillow in the world?
- What is it? - Don't ask.
That is serving as each other's arm pillow
for a loved one.
It's a new one.
I'm tired.
Goodness. This is good.
Except for that guy earlier.
What arm pillow?
The date in Jang Il Joo's fake bankbook matches
the date of the murder with a body.
Does that mean my arrival in the country
had caused him stress?
What did I do back then?
Why did I come back to Korea?
What sort of work did I do?
Whom did I meet with?
Do you need my help?
No, this is my hobby.
That's a good hobby,
for someone else who stays in the same house.
But what should I do?
I can't just laze around in my bed all day.
It's fine. Keep on lazing around.
Stalker.
After I interrogated that pervert stalker,
I find the word stalker very disturbing.
Do you remember why I came to Korea in November 2011?
How would I know that?
There's no way I'd remember something so long ago.
You can't, right?
I think it was for a conference about the social problems in Korea.
You came back to attend that
and gave a special lecture while you were here.
I see.
What about December 2012?
I said I don't know.
That was for a conference about the criminal policy in Korea.
I see.
What about in 2013?
That was your first summer vacation
after you got appointed as a professor.
You have a really bad memory.
Because those times were stagnated to me.
Fine.
Tell me everything you can remember
about who did I meet
or if any special occasions happened back then.
In celebration of the publishing of your book,
you had a mini fansign event with your fans.
Then the girls would gather around and scream, "Professor!"
as if they saw an idol.
They would even give you presents with ribbons.
You don't remember?
It appears I was pretty popular back then.
As I said earlier,
there is always someone with a weird preference.
Hello, Professor.
The gift boxes I received every time I came to Korea.
But I never opened any of them.
Nor did I understand their meaning.
I even erased them from my memories.
What is it?
You're quite useful sometimes.
I'll wait for you.
Until you tell me about your younger brother first.
My mind is complicated.
Did someone say anything about it?
It's me. I have a favor to ask.
I really hate English.
The case was reported at around 7am.
The first eyewitness is a jogger.
I've received the witness report,
but I'm going to check it again myself.
So a minor was murdered in this case.
This doesn't feel good.
Why are you two coming together?
- Work hard, Ji An. - Okay.
We are carpooling.
To save petrol for the sake of the environment.
Where is it?
No. What is it that I heard again?
I need to leave first.
I have a guest.
I won't be going home today.
See you.
Gosh! You scared me!
You don't seem to be fully awake yet.
How dare you make that sound?
What was it again?
The estimated time of death is
between 10pm to 1am or 2am last night.
As you can see, the cause of death
is by head injury due to an assault.
But
I suspect internal bleeding as well.
There are signs of bruises here.
Isn't that a sign of continuous abuse?
It could be.
No phone and wallet.
I don't see anything we can identify him with.
We'll go to verify the time.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I can tell that it was done by his peers at first glance.
They think his identity won't be found
by ripping off the school badge and
getting rid of the wallet and phone.
That's their level of thinking.
Do you think this is school violence?
It doesn't seem like a one-time assault,
but rather a repeated assault over a long period of time.
Usually in a case like this
It is either domestic violence or school violence.
It seems the real crime scene was somewhere else than here.
Look at the dirt on his shoes and the wound on his hands.
Skin injury due to friction.
Yes.
It looked like someone dragged him on his back.
Then, we must find the crime scene first.
We have to search
all the CCTV footages
from here to the victim's house and around the school.
You are totally a detective now.
He seems to have malnutrition.
His uniform seems a little too big compared to his body size,
even with consideration of his growth period.
Looking at the brand of his shoes and bag,
I think he's from a well-off family.
They even picked a spot with no CCTV to dump the body.
It seems to be a perfect spot
to be used as a hideout for bad students.
Then, the parents or teachers
might know about this place too,
in order to keep an eye on them.
I heard the criminals
are like profilers sometimes.
You are like a profiler too, Dr. Lee.
Is that so?
I kind of feel bad for him though.
He looks like a nice kid.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Yes, every day is enjoyable these days.
It's fun to investigate cases with you as well, Lee Hyun.
Young Jae!
Young Jae!
Young Jae. It's Mom.
Goodness.
Young Jae.
Young Jae.
Young Jae was adopted.
But in my heart, I gave birth to him and raised him myself.
He's more precious than my own child.
Please catch the killer.
Speaking of which, didn't you say that you were suspecting some kids?
Yes.
You said there was school violence
at Young Jae's school, right?
We'll investigate it
and catch the perpetrator.
But where were you coming from?
From your house?
Or from your company?
Dave, that was really rude of you.
Sorry about that.
Was I rude?
Can I take a look at your house?
If you have nothing to hide.
Lee Hyun.
There's not even a diary after we searched all over the house.
He wasn't even on any social media.
There's nothing at all.
Things don't seem to fit. No.
You could say it fits very well.
What do you mean?
His appearance like his clothes and bag are branded.
But his things in the house are dirty and cheap.
Just like you are wearing clean clothes, but your house is dirty.
Did you steal it?
I borrowed it.
Something is indeed not right.
Is it emotional abuse?
What?
Joo Young Jae was often bullied by the delinquent students.
His homeroom teacher was going to request
a school violence committee meeting a few months ago himself.
There is something weird about it,
but I'll tell you when we get there.
I'll send the list of those kids and their addresses to you first.
I'm already on it.
Yes. I got it.
Nice.
I'll go and check to see if these kids are home.
Okay.
- Then I'll check the CCTV footages. - Okay.
It's a package from overseas for Professor David.
May I know where his desk is?
Dave?
No, David.
- Dave is David. - What?
Dave is David. Give it to me and I'll pass it to him.
No, I have to give this to David myself.
Hey, Dave! You've got a package.
He is David.
I'm David.
Min has been sending me messages continuously all this while.
Asking me to find him.
And perhaps
asking me to stop him.
What in the world are these?
The hints to solve the riddle don't match with the questions.
So the questions are not to be solved by using the hints.
Looking at the patterns of the code,
they contain the same sort of messages.
It's a mirror image of left and right that's turned upside down.
In that case, both of them are duplicated messages.
It's a code to be solved with the questions without the hints.
Then,
using binary numbers in black and white
A code
Firstly, investigate these people.
And find out if they have any stories.
What stories?
Like if there were any family problems or breakups with lovers.
Or if they were related to murder or violent cases,
or abandoned by someone
The reason for murder.
Why do I have to investigate that sort of thing?
Just do it for me.
And among their stories,
find what they have in common in those three.
- And also - What else is there?
You know the photos I gave you?
The photos of the suspects?
Yes.
Find out if those three people
knew anyone in those photos
and how they are associated.
That's too much.
You come to visit me too often.
You're making me work too hard.
I'm asking you a favor.
A favor?
Did you just ask me a favor?
Even so,
I don't have any ability to investigate all these.
Are you an ordinary art dealer?
Of course not.
I'm a big shot in the art world in Korea.
See? You're a great person.
Yes, I am, but
Yes, it's an ability of yours.
Use your network.
Seriously.
What does art have to do with me investigating this?
Everything in the world is related to art.
- Don't you think? - Of course, it is.
How much time should I give you?
Seriously.
One month?
Two days.
At least give me a week.
Fine.
We settled on three days.
Hey! What do you mean settle?
A settlement is made when both
I really want to
Why aren't they showing up?
How many days has it been?
These jerks are not even going home.
This is the place they visit the most.
They will probably show up sometime.
I'm not cut out for stakeouts.
Hey, kids.
Hey, don't run!
Gosh, I don't really want to run.
Hey!
Hey, why did you run when I called you?
Follow me.
Is your body okay?
Do you have any aftereffects?
What?
No, I don't.
What about you, Team Leader?
Well, as you know.
My body is pretty well trained.
Yes, right.
Yes, Myung Woo.
- Did you catch them? - They said they caught them?
We'll go back too. Okay.
Then, let's go.
Hold on.
What's wrong?
There's something I want to make sure of.
I'll see you at the office.
Why are you here?
Is that true, honey?
Your dad is so funny.
Look at this.
They don't look sad for someone who just lost their child, do they?
Then, let's go.
I want to confirm something.
It's possible for us to get their testimony as testifiers, right?
We have the right to remain silent.
Of course, you do.
Hey, you delinquent students.
We're going to find the CCTV footages soon.
The forensic reports will come out soon as well.
Fine. Try to last.
Let's see how long you guys last.
An interrogation in the presence of the attorney.
It's not bad.
My position is to listen to whatever Professor Lee has to say,
so please tell us. Anything is fine.
That's okay, right?
What is it that you want to say?
I want to know your alibi
at the time of Joo Young Jae's death.
Is there even a chance that the parents are the culprits?
I don't know.
But I do think that they are suspicious.
Are you saying that we killed our own child?
This is just my speculation.
An assumption. You know, right?
This is just a subtle feeling of mine,
but I thought it was strange from the moment you saw
your dead son in the autopsy room.
Your parents were acting strangely.
Right?
Your outfits weren't right for someone who came after hearing of
the death of your son who had been missing for the whole night.
Not to mention about your exaggerated acting.
You didn't even turn your eyes away once,
looking at your son's body beaten to death horrendously.
Right.
I also caught you trying to give a hint about the culprit
when you were giving your testimony.
You didn't sound like you were blaming them,
but rather giving information.
And?
You neglected your son who was bullied by the delinquents.
When the homeroom teacher requested a school violence committee meeting,
the parents came up and stopped him.
There were traces of emotional abuse in your house.
And your phone records are weird too.
The son you gave birth with your heart didn't come home all night.
But you didn't even make a call or send a message to him. Why?
You either didn't care about him at all,
or you already knew that he had died.
What kind of nonsense is this?
You're such an interesting person.
The truth is, you wanted to abandon Joo Young Jae, didn't you?
Very desperately.
I found the CCTV footage.
See? I told you it's those students.
Arrest them immediately.
What I'm curious about the most is this.
Did you wish for Joo Young Jae to die?
I went too far, didn't I?
What about this?
It was a relief that Joo Young Jae died.
Right?
So?
Let's say that's true.
Do you
have evidence?
There was an eyewitness.
How could they do that?
Joo Young Jae could have lived if they reported it to the police.
Can't you do a face recognition?
It was dark and the quality is bad, so we can't identify the face.
That was interesting.
But,
there is no way to prove it.
If you can prove it,
Article 273 in Criminal Law
can be applied as an abuse case.
But there's no way to prove it.
As of now.
Anyway, they didn't directly kill him.
They might have abandoned him though.
Right?
Isn't it better for you to at least tell me the truth?
We need to eliminate the possible cause for problems.
According to Article 23 in the Attorneys' Code of Ethics,
an attorney cannot reveal the secrets of his client.
If I break it, it's considered a breach of confidentiality.
So please tell me.
The truth is
Did you really find it?
I told you I wasn't an ordinary art dealer.
Was the person inside the envelope a murderer?
No.
Did you see it?
No.
So you really didn't see.
Good job.
I wanted to see it, but I got scared.
I had this feeling that I might get hurt if I know about it,
so I couldn't look.
I don't even know whether it's a photo
or the story you mentioned before inside the envelope.
Why aren't you looking at it?
You've worked hard.
I've worked hard?
Yes.
Seriously.
Why is he even scarier when he's being polite?
You
There are only people who abandoned you.
And there's no one who remembers you.
Your parents,
your siblings,
or your friends
There's no one.
But I will
remember you.
What? What is this?
(Remember You)
The place where my instinct points me to
may be
where I didn't want Min to be the most.
What's going on?
I've requested for backup in front of the house.
If you are really Min,
No way.
What should I do
to show my remorse?
