The crime site and his residence...

I think I found the place.
Wait for me.
(Item Storage)
Cho Hyun Gil!
If you search his house, it will be neatly organized.
The weapon he used will also be put away neatly.
That's not a shelf, it's the interior floor of the fridge.
Captain Yoon. What...
Captain Yoon.
(Through the Darkness, Episode 4)
It's caked with dust. I doubt he'll come back.
A man who lives alone doesn't clean.
But seeing how organized and neat he was,
he probably spends a lot of time cleaning too.
Seeing how dusty it is like Captain Kook said,
he didn't come here for a long time.
But...
we'll still wait for him.
I'll wait too.
You don't have to.
- Detective Nam and I can handle it. - Right.
Then I'll get going first.
Goodnight. Goodnight to you.
Bye.
You should go home too.
I don't want there to be a pile of cars here.
I'll park my car somewhere else.
What?
He never listens to others.
He doesn't.
Good luck.
If anything happens, give me a call right away.
Get some sleep if you're tired.
No. I'm fine.
If you're tired, you can get some sleep.
No. I'm good too.
Should I get off?
Wait.
Gosh.
That scared the wits out of me.
You carry around cat food?
Yes. Sometimes.
It's not cat food. It's just some snacks.
What are you eating?
Chocolates.
I'm good.
I didn't peg you...
to be an animal lover.
Animals can't talk,
so they can't lie.
Even when they're hungry...
or sick, they can't tell us.
So I just thought...
it'd be nice...
if someone recognized it first.
What are you doing here so early in the morning?
Oh, hello.
We're just waiting for someone.
Are you waiting for Cho?
Well, yes.
Do you know Mr. Cho Hyun Gil?
I'm his landlady.
Do you happen to know when he'll be back?
I actually came here to check because I couldn't reach him.
He's behind on rent,
but I can't get hold of him.
Well, anyway...
Why are you looking for him so early in the morning?
We're from the police.
(Scientific Investigations Team)
(Forensics)
- You're here. - Hey.
The description of the little girl the landlady saw...
matches that of Soo Hyun.
- Did you check the vehicle too? - Yes.
Gosh. Now, we just need to find Cho Hyun Gil.
Sir, you're here.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Darn it.
Hey, the Behavioral Analysis Team can't be here.
- Why not? - You know the answer.
You can investigate, but it must be done under the table.
If the higher-ups find out, they'll go bonkers.
If the media finds out, it'll be even worse.
This is so unfair.
Why is it unfair?
Don't you know that the commissioner...
is more afraid of the reporters than his wife?
What? You're here too?
I'm sure we'll find Soo Hyun's fingers around his house.
We must find them.
First, you'll have to help us search the scene.
Gosh.
- Check that spot over there. - This spot here?
Careful. Be careful not to touch that.
Check that spot in the back too.
Anything?
Did you find anything? Look, over there.
Over here!
What is it?
It has decomposed, but it is a finger of a child.
Let's keep on searching.
There are only eight fingers.
Let's keep looking.
I'm sure we'll find the rest.
They may have drifted away.
Let's search together all the way to the nearest sewer.
Let's keep on looking. We'll search together.
We're missing two fingers of a girl!
Look through the grass and check under the rocks. Search thoroughly!
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Young Soo.
Yes.
We searched thoroughly all the way there...
but found nothing.
This is the last spot where we can search.
They must've rotten away by now.
The body was stored in the freezer...
before it was discarded at different times.
It'll help us determine the degree of decomposition.
We must find them, even just the bones.
We still have hope, so let's keep on looking.
Let's search some more.
Yes, sir.
Captain.
Did you find something?
Darn it. It's a sausage.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
We checked the area where Cho Hyun Gil's home is located...
immediately after the incident broke out.
Right.
It didn't look like anyone lived there,
so we let it slip under the radar.
No, it's totally understandable.
Gosh, I couldn't even figure out where the entrance was.
I couldn't even find the door.
Why is it so hot in here? Am I the only one sweating?
Here, use this as a fan.
- Thanks. - Soo Hyun's fingers...
We'll find them.
We already found eight of them.
They were thrown out, so I'm sure we'll find the rest.
Yes, we must find them.
By the way, how did you know?
That her fingers would be there.
It was just...
a gut feeling.
You're as intuitive as Captain Yoon.
Why don't we call it a day?
Yes, let's do that.
You can all get going. I'll leave in a bit.
It was a long day.
Tomorrow will be another hard day. Get some rest.
I'm okay. You should all get going.
- All right. - Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
Then I'll get going too.
Okay, good work today.
Take it easy.
Ha Young.
If you insist on staying late all by yourself,
everyone else will feel like they're not working hard enough.
My apologies. That wasn't my intention.
Don't overwork yourself.
- I won't. Have a good night. - You too.
- See you. - Bye.
My gosh. I'm sorry, honey.
I woke you up, didn't I?
Are the kids asleep?
I see, okay.
You know, tell Joo Hyun and Soo Hyun...
that I want to hear their voices.
Have them call me when they wake up. These brats.
Oh, boy. I'm being selfish again.
I woke you up.
I'm sorry.
Go back to sleep, Mi Yeon.
I love you.
Okay.
Kidnapped on May 20.
Body parts were found for the 1st time on May 29.
The torso and the head were also found on May 30.
On June 25, additional body parts were found in a toilet at an inn...
after the culprit spent a night there.
Cho Hyun Gil disposed of the body parts...
in different places on different days.
The two fingers that haven't turned up yet.
Where could they be?
Where could Cho Hyun Gil be hiding?
(44 days after the incident)
(July 12, 2000)
(Forensics Squad)
(Every contact leaves a trace.)
- You're here. - Good work.
Where's In Tak?
He went to take a nap.
- May I see the analysis result? - Yes, one second.
Right here.
(Please keep the door closed.)
- Oh my. - You're here.
You haven't slept.
I lied down to take a nap,
but I kept having dreams of looking for the kid's fingers,
so I just got up.
You're doing good work.
We compared the fingerprints we got yesterday from his house,
and they're mostly of Cho Hyun Gil or that child victim.
Have you heard about the DNAs too?
Yes, the NFS called.
I don't see his middle and ring fingers here either.
So you only found fingerprints for three fingers on the weapon?
The fingerprints we found at his place are all partial.
All we have are five fingers.
For now, we know that it was done by Cho Hyun Gil.
We just have to find out where he's hiding.
We found out who he is, so he'll be caught soon.
- Anyway, keep it up. - Okay.
- Let me know if you find anything. - All right.
- Take care. - Goodbye.
Cho Hyun Gil. Age 40.
He lived in 39-1 Changeui-dong.
In September of 1997,
He has a history of molesting a four-year-old girl in Songju-dong.
So how did he get omitted from the list?
After he moved, he did not register his new address.
That's why he was left out.
I went to his house,
and it could hardly be called a home where one lives.
His house was in a corner, so we missed it when we went around.
- I'm sorry. - We missed him right before us.
Hey, wait.
If he was previously convicted in 1997,
it hasn't been that long.
He was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months.
He was released this March.
Goodness, that means it has only been four months.
The ink on the paperwork probably didn't even dry, that jerk.
Anyway, we found the DNA of the missing kid in his house?
The NFS just called.
We also confirmed his fingerprints all over the weapon.
Make sure you find where this Cho Hyun Gil is.
If he did this only two months after his release,
we don't know what he'll do next.
Captain Yoon, let's hurry.
The entire team went out to search around Changeui-dong area.
I sent Detective Nam out to the butcher shop Cho worked at.
He must've worked here while Moon Soo was here.
- Moon Soo? - He's my nephew.
I had to go out for some business,
so my nephew was looking after my shop.
Oh, I see.
That man suddenly quit even before a month was up.
Most people won't pay the man after leaving like that.
I'm a good man, so I paid him what he deserves.
Do you have anything to show that you paid him?
You know, on your bank account history.
People who take up jobs like that do it for the cash.
You paid him fully in cash?
Right, I gave him some checks too.
Yes, do you remember which bank it was?
Was it Johong Bank?
May I see the transaction history of this check?
(Johong Bank)
I guess we came for a search when his nephew was at the shop.
That's why we missed him.
I'll send you the address of where the check was used.
- Prints from only three fingers? - Yes.
When you grab a knife or a saw,
your fingerprints are printed at a certain location.
Like this.
I'd get it if we didn't find any fingerprints at all.
You'll see even partial prints from the middle and ring fingers.
Right thumb, right index, and right pinky.
Isn't it weird that we only found those three?
It's either one of the two.
He either has an odd habit when he grabs things,
or he's missing those two fingers.
I'm going to make you fly.
Here we go.
Just push me.
Don't do it so hard.
What are you doing? Come on!
By any chance, have you seen this man?
(Dairy Products)
Hey, have you seen this customer?
Could you please try to remember?
He used a check here on June 26.
I'm not sure about the date,
but I remember getting a check.
I've never received one as a part-timer here.
But...
I don't remember what he looked like.
Do you have a CCTV?
He's only missing his right middle and ring fingers.
No matter how meticulously you plan something,
your habits come out like second nature.
I'm sure there was a reason behind stripping her.
He had to strip her to get off.
And whoever did that is the real culprit.
- Gil Pyo. - Hey.
The culprit. He's probably missing two fingers, okay?
Will you please stay quiet?
The visitors who come to Seoul are over...
How long will you treat us like a shadow?
I didn't treat you like a shadow.
You're banning a solid team from doing any work right now.
You are treating us like a shadow.
What is it?
Be honest. Something is going on, right?
No, nothing is going on.
Look at this.
I can always tell when you're lying.
I know you.
You can't fool me.
Wait, one second.
Okay.
- Stay here. I'll go. - Okay.
Hello.
(Soju)
A pack of cigarettes, please.
That will be 3 dollars and 20 cents.
Wait.
Is that him?
Your change is 1 dollar and 80 cents.
Thank you. Goodbye.
What? The guy who just went out.
Just now?
Yes, he looks like the man who just left.
His clothes.
Is that him?
Mr. Cho Hyun Gil?
Darn it.
Cho Hyun Gil!
Darn it.
Cho Hyun Gil!
Darn it.
Captain Yoon.
Cho Hyun Gil.
You're under emergency arrest for Lee Soo Hyun's murder.
You have the right to consult an attorney...
and to remain silent, but do you have anything to say?
Darn it!
- Are you okay, Il Young? - Yes.
Chief Heo, we caught him.
We caught him!
- Cho Hyun Gil? - Yes.
What about his fingers?
So you drank through the night on May 19,
then abducted Lee Soo Hyun...
around 3pm the next day.
Is that correct?
Why was your target Soo Hyun, a girl who was only five years old?
I just...
saw that girl there.
Are you saying it wasn't planned?
Did you kidnap Lee Soo Hyun, so you could...
rape her?
- No. - No?
(Sexual assault)
Cho Hyun Gil.
You served time for molesting and assaulting a minor.
And you were discharged in March.
It's only been two months.
Right?
It hurts.
Does it hurt?
You think that hurts?
Soo Hyun was...
only five years old.
- I was going to ask for money. - What money?
I was going to ask for 2,000 dollars.
What?
I wanted a ransom.
Two thousand dollars?
Let us interview him too.
Keep it down.
I'll let you interview him...
before he gets transferred to the prosecution.
You just wait for now.
You're just saying that. You'll just transfer him, right?
No.
Yes, you will. Come on.
We must find out...
where the other two fingers are.
I was just going to ask for money at first. I'm telling the truth.
But what?
- Mom. - Hey.
- Mom! - Don't cry. Why are you crying?
Mom.
Mom!
Mom.
- Darn it. - Mom.
Good work.
Let's go.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
Cho Hyun Gil kidnapped a five-year-old girl, Lee Soo Hyun.
Hey, kid.
Do you want me to buy you ice cream?
This one.
He was going to demand a 2,000-dollar ransom.
But Lee Soo Hyun got scared...
and couldn't remember her parents' phone number.
He forced her to drink water, spiked with sleeping pills.
And a five-year-old girl, Lee Soo Hyun, was...
(And a 5-year-old girl, Lee Soo Hyun, was...)
Why did you do it?
Can I...
smoke a cigarette?
You scumbag. How dare you ask for a cigarette?
No, you can't.
Cho Hyun Gil.
How do you feel right now?
- I'm sorry. - To whom?
He's asking you to whom you're apologizing, you jerk!
You scumbag.
Let go of me. That jerk...
Are you trying to cooperate or what?
What?
Don't interrupt us or provoke him.
But I'm furious!
How could you not be after looking at him?
You know that my second child's name is Soo Hyun, right?
- And my child is six years old. - Exactly.
(Interview Room 2)
That's why you must be infuriated right now.
Don't come in. Stay out here.
- Hey. I... - I'm asking you.
Please.
How did you lose your fingers?
It happened when I was working.
- Both of them? - Yes.
When did it happen?
I was 30. It was an accident at the construction site.
Why didn't you reattach your fingers?
My fingers flew out.
I searched for hours.
But I was bleeding a lot.
In the end, I couldn't find them.
I was at the construction site, so I didn't know where they went.
You must have been in pain.
- Yes. - Are you ashamed you don't have...
all of your fingers?
I think people treat me like I'm retarded.
And women don't like that about you, right?
We already caught the fish.
Will that even help?
We should think about if we'll slice it up or grill it.
- I'll erase this. - Leave it.
The Behavioral Analysis Team is still working on it.
"We already caught the fish?"
Are we here to fish?
No.
(Child Dismemberment and Murder in Changeui-dong)
I'll be more careful.
By the way, we have to wait until they are done, right?
I'm just curious. I wonder what they are talking about.
But kids aren't like that.
Even if you don't have fingers,
they still approach you because they are innocent.
Right.
Kids are nice.
Then how could you...
Is that why you got rid of...
two of Soo Hyun's fingers too?
On the 12th,
the police apprehended the culprit...
behind the mutilated girl that was found in Changeui-dong.
Chief Heo Gil Pyo of Special Crime Squad...
at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency...
stated that the culprit was Cho who lived around...
where the body parts were found in Changeui-dong.
And the police requested an arrest warrant...
for murder and abandonment of a corpse.
Severed body parts were found...
in Changeui-dong, Bumyeong-dong,
and at a motel in Gyeongseong-dong.
But the police stated that...
two of the girl's fingers could not be found.
And Cho had already served 2 years and 6 months in prison...
in 1997 for sexually assaulting a minor.
The police also confirmed Cho's past criminal record.
The police will transfer Cho to the prosecution...
once the investigation is complete.
- You jerk! - You scumbag!
- How could you do that? - Bring her back!
- You scumbag! - How could you?
- You're evil! - Murderer!
- You jerk! - Scumbag!
- You murderer! - How could you kill her?
- You evil murderer! - Bring her back!
You scumbag!
- You're not human! - You!
Her fingers never turned up.
(Alleyway Diner)
Even after committing such a heinous crime,
he didn't show any sense of remorse!
How is that possible?
He apologized,
but he didn't apologize to anyone in particular.
How is that possible?
- Gosh. - You should go easy on that.
That little girl...
was the target because she was nice.
- Her fingers... - I'll get going first.
Okay. Go.
Please take care of him.
Okay. I'll make sure he gets home safely.

Are we living in a world where good kids can feel safe?
Maybe what we lost...
is a lot more than a child who was like an angel.
Maybe humanity and the belief that we must be good are also lost.

Cho Hyun Gil had committed a crime against a child in the past,
but he was released back to society without turning over a new leaf.
Who is responsible for creating a world like this?
Perhaps, the only thing we can do...
is remember the short life of Lee, the little girl who died,
and truly lament...
and grieve her death.

Wasn't it the case you were working on?
Yes.
Are you all right?
Yes, of course.
Here, have some.
I noticed that you'd completely run out of it.
You no longer need to worry about me. I'm an adult.
I'm not worried.
Get some sleep.
This is exactly why I get worried.
When you were little, you just fell into my arms and cried.

but I guess Woo Ju isn't.

- Young Soo, where are you now? - You know,
when I see our boys rip out a piece of paper...
to use it as a fan in this sweltering heat,
it really breaks my heart.

I'll ask for that too.
A big table.
It'll be winter before you know it. Do we even have a heater?
Of course, we don't have one.
Don't you worry. You can't hold out that long anyway.
Anyway, just hang up and go home.

Good morning, Chief Heo.
I guess you managed to get home safely after all.
Of course. Did you think I'd die on the street or something?
As if.
Even the fortune-teller said you wouldn't die so easily.
So the fortune-teller wouldn't want you to die like that.
And you know that I never blackout when I drink, right?
Keep on bragging.
An AC unit, a table, and a heater.
I remember everything.
- Get out of my way. - Look.
I told you that he'd be perfect for the job...
and that he'd help us identify the culprit.
The suspect is missing two fingers, right?
We were right about everything. Am I wrong?
So why can't you trust us?
Have I ever said anything that proved to be wrong?
No, right?
- You should get going. - Yes, I should.

- Hello, sir! - Hi.
Good morning.
What are you reading?
It's just an article.
(Reporter Choi Yoon Ji)
She's doing pretty well.
Good morning!
- Welcome. - Hi.
- Are you all right? - Of course.
My goodness. How in the world did the Behavioral Analysis Team...
land a smart one like you?
Listen carefully.
They're going to give us an air conditioner.
There is more.
- More? - Yes.
A table?
- One more on top of a table. - There's one more?
- Can you guess what it is? - What is it?
A heater to use in the winter.
That means we'll continue to stay here and not in the main building?
I didn't think about it that way.
Shall I tell them to forget about the heater?
What's the problem? I like this place.
You've gotten used to this place too, haven't you?
It's all right here.
- Let's ask for the heater. - Yes, sir.
Now what?
Just give them what they want. All of it.
We have to give them what is necessary.
It's nothing special anyway.
That's not the problem right now though.
Kook Young Soo, that guy...
gave up his position as Chief of Forensics Squad...
to start a Behavioral Analysis Team or whatever it is.
I get that he used to be the headman down at Forensics.
But that only matters if he's still back in the squad.
He's just a nobody to everyone else.
Gosh, and what about that guy, Song Ha Young?
What was the point of promoting him?
Rumors about how he almost lost his job from the Red Cap Incident...
and how this is a failed team have spread everywhere.
We're to blame for how that rumor started though.
Which is why we should be taking responsibility for it!
Worse case, what if their team disappears?
Where will those two go? They're too old for the job market.
Shouldn't we put them to work and evaluate them first...
before we decide on whether they'll put out results or not?
Gosh, I know! I'm aware of that too. Just give them some time for now.
How much time do they need? This is so frustrating.
I already asked the higher-ups there...
to at least give them some time...
to interview criminals and gather data on criminal types.
You did? What are the higher-ups saying?
The Behavioral Analysis Team somewhat fulfilled their parts...
by helping us narrow down the list of suspects...
for this Cho Hyun Gil case too.
Do you think we have an open-ended budget?
You know how they are.
They always groan in complaints...
about how we don't even have enough to work the field.

Choi Yoon Ji has always been a bit different back in school too.
I guess you can say that's her strength too.
I don't think that.
I'm grateful she chose to work here.
Yes, I'm grateful.
But I still need to make a living.
What's the point of being a conscious reporter...
when the media is crumbling down?
Yes, that's right.
Don't just talk about it, but put it to action.
- Is your hangover bad? - I'm all right.
Do you even remember drunk dialing me yesterday...
and how you harassed me by saying how miserable you are?
I didn't say that because I was drunk.
I get it. It wasn't an easy case.
Good job. You did well.
But don't think that your job as a reporter...
starts and finishes with appealing to the reader's emotions.
You see, a reporter...
That's enough advice for today, Director.
What's with the, "But?"
Why do you think so?
It's because that's my role, you rascal.

At least get a bite of food in before you leave.
You'll upset your stomach.

Aren't we done since we caught him?
Even if everyone else thinks that way...
we have to think about what comes after.
- After this? - Yes.
- Analyzing the mind. - "Analyzing the mind?"
It's true that criminal profiling...
is used in order to catch the culprit.
But what comes after that is extremely important too.
What does that have to do with analyzing the mind though?
It's not over because we caught the culprit.
There will always be another one who appears.
Hold on.
You said you were going to speak comfortably to me.
Did I say that?
I'll speak comfortably to you if you don't do it first.
Why don't you go ahead and do that, since we're talking about it?
Should I do that then?
Captain Yoon!
Over here, Captain Yoon! Come sit here.
- We'll sit over there with them. - Okay.
We just need to bring a chair over.
We just got started eating too, so let's eat together.
Yes, we'll join this table.
Two more orders of the set please, ma'am!
- Got it! - Please excuse us then.
What's there to excuse? We're all on the same team.
Carry on with your conversation.
It seems like we interrupted it.
Whether criminals who committed serious crimes...
can be rehabilitated in prison or not.
Or if the rehabilitation program needs some sort of change.
Or if there is a chance they'll repeat the crime.
We have to figure those things out. That's what we were talking about.
Cho Hyun Gil committed the same crime in the end...
after just two months of being released.
That's why you want to interview Cho Hyun Gil!
What? You're interviewing Cho Hyun Gil again?
There's a lot we have to ask him.
Not only is he our team's first case...
but if we want to write our report on criminal psychology analysis...
I think we'll have to meet him at least once more.
This team is always working very hard.
If we want people to know that the Behavioral Analysis Team...
contributes to catching the culprit, we'll have to work harder.
We have to show that it's not interest that motivates us...
but our sense of duty instead.
It may just be an intriguing case to you and your team,
but my team has a duty to solve it.
Whatever the case, more heinous criminals will show up.
I hope my guess is wrong.
I'd be happy if I'm wrong.
But there still has to be someone preparing for what may happen.
Thank you!
We have more than enough already.
Just how much more heinous will they get for us to need to prepare?
Daesung Serial Murder Case.
That punk. We even released his montage...
but why won't he get caught?
Those punks that commit serial murders...
aren't in the range of normal that we think of.
It's hard to track them down the way we normally do.
What do you mean it's hard to track them down...
the way we normally do?
If we look at the pattern of a crime...
we can tell to an extent whether it was resentment or blind passion.
That's right. It's clear as day.
But when it's none of these...
Guys who commit crimes randomly and recklessly...
we can't read their behavior pattern.
Why is that? Because they don't belong to any category.
Are you saying that's the case with the Daesung Serial Murder Case?
That's right.
Once our team settles down...
he's the first one I want to catch.
He'll be caught before that.
Even though he stopped,
our investigation will continue.
Yes, he has to be caught.
He's the most wanted criminal by the Korean police.
Please excuse me.
Wait for us. We're almost done too.
It's okay. You can take your time to eat.
Please excuse me.
- It's on me. Just go. - Thank you.
Goodness. He is always so predictable.
Goodness.
(Unresolved Case File, 1991)
(Daesung Serial Murder Case)
Anyway, what does that have to do with a potentially atrocious case?
Listen up.
In the US, heinous criminals who only seek to murder...
began to surface during their biggest economic change.
There's a report on the correlation.
That's why we must be prepared.
Anyhow,
Daesung Serial Murder Case was way too shocking for me,
so I studied it extensively.
After I saw the cases from overseas, I saw that...
they're like smart criminals.
Their brains are wired only to murder.
That's why their MO and patterns evolve over time.
(Grass field in Uhyeong-ri, waterway in Hyungsan-ri)
Here's what I mean.
That the atrocity of their murder and their crimes...
will be taken to an extreme.
That's why they change the patterns in an attempt to flee from us.
When they change the pattern and the MO, catching them...
will be even harder.
If we do not get prepared,
we'll see another cold case like the Daesung Serial Murder.
I see.
It'd be wonderful if it doesn't happen.
I'm just trying to be prepared, for just ten years.
I want to put in some work for just ten years.
Then will our team last for ten years?
- Can you do this? - Yes, I can, sir.
Anyway, thank you for listening to my boring story.
Lunch is on me.
No, it's all right.
Thank you so much. Thank you for lunch.
Goodness.
I have finally gone insane.
What's wrong?
My wallet.
- I'll pay. - No.
That's not what I meant.
- Captain Yoon. - Oh, thank you.
Captain Yoon, something he said has been bugging me.
What is?
I mean, no matter how crazy we are, we have to say the right things.
To be frank, we caught Cho Hyun Gil.
Okay, I give them credit for analyzing him and stuff.
But so what?
It's not like we don't try to guess what the culprit is like.
We just can't be right all the time.
And if you think about it, the same goes for that team.
They somehow ended up guessing Cho Hyun Gil right.
They can't say they took part in...
That's mine.
Why? Did they say they caught Cho Hyun Gil?
No, it's not like that.
I knew they'd get cheeky.
I told you not to let them take credit.
They should be grateful that they still have a job.
Everyone knows about the Red Cap Incident.
People in this field are unbelievably talkative.
We're the ones who ran around doing the footwork.
- Isn't that so? - Stop it already.
Are we here to play a game of dart?
Trying to be infallible in getting things right.
I don't appreciate the expressions you've been using recently, okay?
I...
Okay. I'll be careful.
Try to think things over before you say them out loud.
Yes, ma'am.
Finish your coffee and come.
Yes, ma'am.
What's with her?
You owe me 20 cents.

Please relax your shoulders. Good.
All right. Look into the camera.
I'll take the photo now. Smile.
The train is approaching.
Please step back from the safety line.

You can relax.
I'm the police.
It's too dangerous for a woman to go around alone at night.
Thank you.
Let me escort you.
I'm fine, but sure.
Let's go.
(Through the Darkness)
Did you dress up to see me?
I feel like getting treated.
You want to hear my story?
- Like what? - Something like your childhood...
or how you feel around the day.
I need you to take up a case.
A married couple was murdered in their home two weeks ago.
- What are you looking for? - We haven't specified him yet.
There's another old man.
Another case broke out.
One of them broke out in Suseong-dong, Gangnam,
the other, Gungok-dong, Jongno Police Station.
- Don't these look similar? - What is this? The MO are the same.
This is the third murder, and his only purpose is to kill.
It's a serial murder.
