01x01 - Red Cap Incident

[bunniefuu]

[Cotton candy]

Mom.

[May 1975]

[Today Is Children's Day]

Over here!

[Children are our country's treasure.]

[Romance]

[Romance 11]

Gosh. Look over there.

Come closer.

Should we peddle all the way there? What do you say?

Sure. Let's go.

Peddle.

- Darn it. - Hey.

Hey.

[Romance 11]

- Hey, look out! - What? Over there!

- No! - Hey.

Oh, no. My balloon!

Ha Young!

Please help!

Please help! I need help over here!

- What happened? - Gosh.

Someone died in there?

- Step back. - Please move back.

- What happened? - You must step back.

- In that cold water. - Are you serious?

- Come on. Hurry. - The boys were playing.

And that kid fell into the water.

- My goodness. - That's how they found her.

Ma'am.

Excuse me. Ha Young.

Ha Young.

You really scared me today.

- Goodness. - I was so worried.

What happened?

[Through the Darkness, Episode 1]

[March 1998]

Hey, did you get anything?

Brief me.

I haven't seen even a single ant over here.

Closing news.

There had been many reported cases of break-ins...

at multiplex houses for the past 10 months since 1997.

The culprit sexually assaulted women and robbed their values.

- The Red Cap Incident... - None.

continues to take place.

- How much longer? - But the police...

haven't made any progress.

So the public has become more frightened for their safety.

The police announced that they will reinforce patrol...

in dark alleys and residential areas...

and they would do their best to arrest the culprit.

Gosh. This is k*lling me.

It's March. How come it's still freezing?

It's always cold when we're on a stakeout.

Hey.

You don't know the first thing about stakeouts.

[Assistant Inspector Song Ha Young of Dongbu Police Station]

I can't believe we can't even go home...

because we have to catch a horny sex offender.

What is this?

This has been going on for ten months.

And there are 12 victims.

Besides, this is our job.

Think about the victims. Stakeouts are nothing.

Gosh. That's why we must catch him.

What if he doesn't show up...

now that we're waiting for him here?

This kind of sting operation has no foundation.

We'll put this one-dimensional approach behind...

in the 21st century and move forward with more futuristic methods, right?

- What do you mean by futuristic? - I don't know.

I'm just frustrated. So I'm spitting out ideas.

I'm frustrated too.

Gosh. You have to speak up now.

I come here every day. But I only saw one cat.

Right. We'll be back tomorrow anyway.

- Take out the walkie-talkie. - Okay.

Let's see.

Captain, we'll wrap up for the night.

Captain, it's snowing. Let's call it a night.

Okay. Let's wrap it up.

Come back here tomorrow at 10pm.

- See you later. - Bye.

Gosh. It's freezing out here. Let's try again tomorrow.

- We're done. Go home. - What?

We can go home?

It's so cold.

Why is it snowing in March?

- Let's go. - It's too early.

It's 3am already. Okay? Gosh.

Here's what I think. He must know that we're here.

So we should rest up too.

Let's come back when he least expects it.

So does crime.

Gosh. I know that.

Who's going to know all the work we do here?

You know, we're not making any progress with our investigation.

Darn it. People just call the cops incompetent.

You should go home then. I'll stay out here for a bit longer.

If you do anything on your own,

Captain Park is going to give me an earful.

Will you stay then?

See you later.

Don't tell Captain Park that I went home before you.

Sure. Go home.

- Bye. - Okay. See you later.

- What do you want to eat? - I'm not going to eat.

Come on. Just show up already.

[Top Pub]

Red Cap.

That doesn't look like your house.

Come here.

It won't take long.

Darn it.

Hey!

Are you okay?

You little... Come here.

Gosh, it always rains on days like this.

It always does.

- Let's go. - Darn it.

He was just pretending to be Red Cap?

He has five prior convictions for r*pe and as*ault,

but he has an alibi for every Red Cap incident.

He did it because the red cap...

terrified the victims and made them surrender.

[Dongbu Police Station]

Take good care of him.

[Criminal Investigations]

What is it?

Why do you think he did it?

What do you mean?

Hey.

I don't even want to know what scumbags like him are thinking.

Why?

That's just the way they are.

He's not thinking.

Exactly. We caught him, so why let him mess with you?

Mess with us? How?

With this.

Gosh, we already have enough to worry about.

Once the case is closed,

stop thinking about it for your mental health's sake.

I didn't know you actually used your brain for thinking.

Let's go eat something.

What do you feel like?

- You're not coming, right? - No, enjoy your meal.

Copycat crimes imitating the Red Cap are running rampant,

adding further complications to the investigation.

A special promotion offer...

is on the table for the officer who catches the culprit,

but the police are still struggling to gather enough leads on him.

The 1st Red Cap Incident took place on May 11, 1997.

He broke into a woman's home in Dongdaemun-Gu, Seoul,

r*ped her, and fled the scene.

To date, 12 sexual as*ault victims have been reported.

The culprit is known as "Red Cap"...

- Ms. Choi Hwa Yeon. - Yes.

I booked your next appointment for the date the doctor suggested.

Next time, make sure you bring the father too.

Okay, I will.

- Thank you. - Get home safely.

Regarding the Red Cap Incident, the police...

They still haven't caught him?

When will he be caught?

Right? It's so scary.

[Serial r*pist Red Cap's Whereabouts Still Remain Unknown]

[Bookstore]

[Turtle Supermarket]

Mom!

My gosh. You should've just bought an umbrella.

You're soaked!

- When did you get here? - Goodness.

I brought you some winter cabbage and green onion kimchi.

My gosh, your fridge was so messy.

I threw out all the spoiled food and organized everything.

I made some barley tea too.

I can do it too. You always do everything and nag me.

Go inside. Go on in.

It's raining. You should just sleep here.

Don't stay out too late. My goodness.

This world is a scary place. You're old enough to know that.

- Just sleep here tonight. - I have to go to work tomorrow.

Then take a taxi. I'll give you money for the fare.

Why waste money on a taxi ride when I can take the bus?

- Forget it. - Wait!

All right, fine.

Leave the kimchi out for two days before putting it in the fridge.

- That way, it'll age well. - Okay.

Bye.

You're making me uncomfortable. Just go inside.

Get going.

I'm not a kid, you know.

Bye.

- Make sure you take a taxi! - Okay.

- Mom! - Yes.

Bye.

Bye. Don't forget to lock the door.

I won't.

It's good.

[Roofing and Repairs]

You scared me.

You forgot to lock the door.

The landlord had a break-in.

Keep the door locked at all times.

When did you get here?

You forgot to take an umbrella, right?

How did you know?

The floor was wet, so I wiped it.

I should've picked you up.

Are you having ramyeon?

Do you want one too?

I should head back out.

I stopped by to see you before heading to work.

Can't you just skip work and stay with me tonight?

I should bust my butt to earn more money...

so that you can live comfortably.

I don't want to be alone,

and everyone's rejecting me today.

- What? - My mom was here.

It's just a tent bar. Can't you play hooky...

and hang out with me today?

"Just a tent bar?"

Sorry. Don't get me wrong.

"Just a tent bar?" Is that what you said?

Look at you belittling me again.

Again?

You get all sensitive whenever I talk about the tent bar.

I'll be honest. It makes you look so insecure!

Darn you...

I'm sorry.

Darn it. What a way to ruin my night.

[Board Here]

[Cheonho-dong]

SBC News, this just in.

We've had a few rainy days in a row.

At a house in Daebong-dong, Gwangjin-Gu,

a woman in her 20s was found dead...

with all of her clothes undressed.

Police regarded this as a r*pe and m*rder case...

and launched an investigation.

The police decided to investigate whether this incident was related...

to the so-called Red Cap Incident, the sexual as*ault cases...

that broke out one after another in Seoul.

On April 10,

a report was made by a woman in her 30s,

a victim of sexual as*ault from Hwayang-dong, Gwangjin-Gu.

- May I help you? - This case was regarded...

as a crime...

- Do you have a pinky? - done by the same culprit...

- I want to eat it. - as the so-called Red Cap Incident,

and the case was transferred to the Seoul Police Agency.

Also, the police are...

[Turtle Supermarket]

It's this snack that looks like a pinky,

covered in lots of chocolate.

You made me scared!

Look at that.

- I'm sorry. - A woman in her 20s was...

- That almost k*lled me. - found dead on a street.

I'm a detective.

- You can relax. - When her mother...

could not reach her daughter,

she visited her house...

- Are you out? I wanted some. - and saw the scene first.

You said you're a detective!

Why do you need a chocolate snack like a kid this late at night?

- One second. - The investigation began,

- but the witness isn't found. - These?

Yes.

[Pinky]

May I have one more?

Thank you.

[Choi Hwa Yeon's home]

What's going on?

[Do Not Enter, Under Investigation]

Goodness, tell me about it.

That poor thing.

Hey, where have you been?

Goodness.

- Hello. - It's the girl from this house.

- Did it really happen? - Yes.

- My goodness. - That's horrible.

Last night around 10pm, the victim's mother...

confirmed her returning home.

She couldn't reach her, so she came to visit,

then made a report.

Where is her family?

She has a mother,

but her condition got worse...

and was taken to the hospital an hour ago.

She was in awful condition,

so I just injected her with a sedative and sleeping agent.

Whenever he's at the crime scene,

the first thing he does is look for the bereaved family.

If he was staging this, he couldn't do it for so long.

He's an outcast, but he has no idea.

That's odd too, isn't it?

Do you think he doesn't know?

So he does?

Then how can he be so cool about it?

Don't you think he's the one who's casting us out of his life?

What?

I heard he was kicked out of Jungbu Police Station...

because he had always been like this.

Some say he's the nephew of the commissioner.

The son-in-law of the brother of the third cousin of his in-law.

Goodness, words get around weird in this industry.

Captain.

Going back on a case that his direct superior closed.

It's impossible without superhuman courage.

Just do your job.

Stop minding something unnecessary.

And stop talking to me when I eat.

Okay.

- You're home. - Yes.

You look tired. You should go to sleep.

I will. Goodnight.

[Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency]

Gil Pyo.

- Come on, Gil Pyo. - Stop following me.

- Hey, Gil Pyo. - Found it.

This is really important.

Hey, that cap criminal is turning the world upside down.

Why aren't you doing your job?

Gil Pyo, there will come a day when you'll say I was right.

Hey! I'm about to lose my joints...

running after this case.

- That's because of your age. - Darn you.

You won't be young forever.

[Chief of Special Crime Squad, Heo Gil Pyo]

We already have Forensics Squad.

We don't have a ground...

to establish a scientific investigations team.

Even an open-hearted guy like me...

doesn't understand why we need that.

But the men up there? They won't understand a word.

What? I explained it to you time and time again.

You still don't get it?

We're already short on staff.

Would you use our budget to create this random team...

- if you were them? - Come on.

"Hey, you rascal! Go catch another criminal if you have time,"

"you foolish kid." Wouldn't they say that?

I'm telling you. We need that team in order to catch one more criminal.

Those who've been here for too long don't speak my language.

Goodness, you didn't know?

The men who have a say in this, the ones who stayed for too long,

hate unfamiliar methods many times more than bad methods.

So you should give up on your dream.

A dream is meant to be had.

- Hey, Superintendent Baek. - Hey.

Goodness, what's going on?

Is he still going on and on about the scientific investigation?

Tell me about it.

We're all busy, but this guy must be free.

Gil Pyo, will you be like this?

My dear Chief Kook Young Soo of Forensics,

stop talking to me.

You can talk directly to Superintendent Baek Jun Sik.

Talk to me about what?

- My goodness. - Good grief.

Do you know how important profilers are?

Yes, I do. Pro fliers, like pilots?

If we want to conduct scientific investigations,

do we have to get on a plane too?

The higher the building goes,

the longer its shadow will be.

Goodness, that quote is...

from that ancient show, "Chief Inspector."

I guess Young Soo is getting older too.

With the IMF crisis and all, the buildings have crashed down.

What shadow?

You must be free.

Listen up.

Very soon, we will see...

brutal and heinous criminals like the ones in the US.

These criminals have no motives.

Then what do we do?

We have to get ready to deal with criminals like them!

Hey!

I can't take this anymore.

Are you praying that something big will break out?

Why don't you go somewhere and pray that a huge case will break out,

then another, then another one even bigger than the rest?

That's not what I meant.

You know what I mean. Don't say that.

How long did Park work overtime?

Young Soo.

Let's grab one later.

I'm sorry.

She was pregnant.

- Pregnant? - Yes, about 14 weeks.

Man, this jerk.

She died from suffocation caused by pressure on the neck.

Her nose and mouth were shut.

The estimated time of death is...

between 10pm to midnight on the night of 15.

The temperature of her rectum shows...

that it was around 10:30pm.

The contents of her stomach show...

she ate something within an hour before her death,

so around 11pm.

Other than the victim's mother,

the time of her death...

coincides with the time of Bang Ki Hoon's visit.

But there's no sign of r*pe.

Wait, what about her clothes?

There's no sign of r*pe, but he only undressed her?

It's 100 percent Bang Ki Hoon.

So Bang Ki Hoon is your friend?

We only went to the same high school.

[Temporarily closed due to personal matters]

Mr. Bang Ki Hoon?

We're from Dongbu Police Station. Come with us.

Why should I?

Are you acquainted with Choi Hwa Yeon?

- She's my girlfriend. - Exactly.

Bang Ki Hoon, you are arrested...

for the suspicion of Choi Hwa Yeon's m*rder.

m*rder?

m*rder? What do you mean?

m*rder?

Is Hwa Yeon dead?

We can talk about the details at the station.

You were going to run away?

Too bad.

You missed your window by a close call.

I'm not running away.

Do you have an arrest warrant?

Bang Ki Hoon. You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used...

against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

Hwa Yeon is dead?

I didn't do it.

Yes. Right on cue.

That's what everyone says.

I really didn't do it. Why would I...

All the circumstantial evidence is pointing to you.

You were at her house at the estimated time of death.

And we also found your fingerprints at her house.

Why would I k*ll my girlfriend?

Exactly. That's what I would like to know too.

Why did you k*ll your girlfriend?

I didn't k*ll her.

Then...

where did you go after leaving her house?

You didn't work that night.

You don't have anyone to support your alibi, right?

I went to the Han River.

Come on.

At least make it sound believable. Is that the best you can do?

I'm telling the truth.

We had a fight that night. I wasn't in the mood to work.

That's it.

Your motive for k*lling Choi Hwa Yeon.

It was...

a small fight.

Do you k*ll your girlfriend over some argument you had?

That's the difference between us. So you sit there, and I sit here.

We're only 1m apart. But there's a huge gap between our humanity.

Detective.

I really didn't do it.

Are you...

the culprit of the Red Cap Incident too?

What?

We got a report that someone saw a man in a red cap around that time.

[Turtle Supermarket]

A man without an umbrella was walking, not running.

I just thought that it was because he was wearing a cap.

Was it red?

I think it was.

- A red hat? - Yes.

Do you remember any other physical traits about him?

As for his height...

[Turtle Supermarket]

I'm not sure. Anyway, he was short enough to be a girl.

Detective.

What can I do to make you believe me?

Show me evidence you didn't do it. Then I'll believe you.

We only believe in evidence.

But you don't have evidence. Do you?

The door.

The door wasn't locked.

Think carefully before you speak.

This statement could work against you.

No.

You have a record for as*ault.

Gosh. You're running a business, pretending to have left the g*ng.

I'm not pretending. I'm done with that life.

I don't care if this is an act or not.

But people like you get hot-tempered just like now.

And when you do, unintentionally,

you end up hurting people. Right?

Just be honest.

I don't k*ll people.

Are you a g*ng member who has a heart?

Did your dead girlfriend know...

that you used to be in a g*ng?

Then did you know?

That Choi Hwa Yeon was pregnant?

What do you mean?

Given that you were dating,

you two kept a lot of secrets from each other.

Exactly.

I'm telling you. You just can't rely only on the physical evidence.

Well, without the evidence, we'd be sh**ting blind. Right.

Then...

what should we rely on?

How they prepared to commit crimes.

And how and why they committed crimes.

And how the corpses were handled.

We should be studying the entire process.

- Right. And scientifically too. - Yes.

Science.

Come on. Stop talking about science.

Hold on.

Do you have to get the license to be a pilot or whatever that's called?

What? Why are you laughing?

Are you Choi Bool Am? "Pilot?"

- Gosh. You're so frustrating. - You're frustrating.

It's not a pilot. It's a profiler.

- Right. A profiler... - Hey.

A profiler.

All right. I'm sorry about the noise.

By the way, who's going to do that?

I know just the guy.

He's more stubborn than me.

Gosh. He sounds like trouble.

[Temporarily closed due to personal matters]

Bang Ki Hoon. Did you really do it?

Gosh. I can't believe this.

There were a lot of petty thieves in that neighbourhood.

The landlord on the second floor was robbed of their valuables too.

When?

About a month ago.

Their house had a smart door lock.

When did you check that?

Wait. Are you going there?

Gosh. You really shouldn't.

You k*lled a woman. You jerk.

You jerk.

I told you to confess, you jerk.

What?

What are you doing?

I'm getting a confession out of him. Close the door.

You piece of trash.

You jerk.

What? What's the problem? What is it?

Do you think this confession will be admissible in court?

Respect me as your superior. Don't you try to lecture me.

Get back to work.

This is my work too.

Gosh. Come on.

Get out.

He can't even give me his alibi right now.

Why? Because he k*lled her.

You know he was there at the estimated time of death.

Your little friend from school...

had a fight with Choi Hwa Yeon that day.

He didn't call her for a few days, so he had no idea she was dead.

You think that makes any sense?

She was pregnant.

Bang Ki Hoon might not have been the culprit.

You think murderers have mercy?

No.

But it was too bad for him...

because he didn't even know she was pregnant.

Hey.

She must have hidden the fact that she was pregnant for a reason.

Well, even if I wanted to be lenient with him, I can't.

Even his motive is crystal clear.

Anyway, these gangsters will never learn.

They get hot-tempered and cause trouble.

They are too dumb to stage a perfect crime,

but they don't want to serve time.

But you still want to believe that guy?

This isn't about if we believe him or not.

I just want to find definitive evidence.

You said you weren't really friends with him.

Then listen up.

Those jerks don't deserve to be called human.

And beating those scumbags...

is the fastest and the easiest way to teach them a lesson.

I understand, but this is wrong.

[Interview Room]

I know why you got kicked out of Jungbu Police Station,

but don't try to police your supervisors...

by nitpicking us.

Just get out there and catch criminals.

Just go out there.

You have a lot of work to do.

[Let's create a free, mature democratic society.]

Hey.

Investigate him in connection with the Red Cap case.

Yes, sir.

But he didn't r*pe her. And the method is different.

Such perverted acts are no different from r*pe.

Wait, where are you going?

I'm heading out to find evidence.

My goodness.

This might prove that it wasn't Bang Ki Hoon.

There are signs of forced entry.

Here's another thing.

Choi Hwa Yeon was pregnant.

Then did you know?

That Choi Hwa Yeon was pregnant?

But he didn't know, and he denied all charges.

There is evidence against him. Number one.

His prints and blood were found at the scene.

Number two.

The estimated time of death also matches.

That punk...

Your little friend from school...

had a fight with Choi Hwa Yeon that day.

Clear motive.

Number three.

Show me evidence you didn't do it.

Then I'll believe you.

He has no alibi.

Number four.

Entered through the door instead of the windows.

I should really move.

Petty thieves are one thing, but someone died.

Gosh, I'm so terrified that I can't live here anymore.

Even I'm this scared.

What if the house doesn't sell? I'm worried.

Who else had break-ins in this area?

There were 3 to 4 other cases, just counting the ones I heard of.

You see, that's the problem.

The stolen goods aren't that valuable,

so the police don't care.

It's been so long.

If it was a rich family, the thief would be in jail already.

Was there another break-in downstairs...

before this incident?

No, not that I know of.

Okay, thank you for your cooperation.

Detective.

Can you also catch the thief who stole my jewellery...

while tracking down the jerk who k*lled the lady downstairs?

Okay. Just a moment, please.

Ma'am, these numbers here. Did you write them?

What is that?

My goodness. Why would I doodle on the wall? I'm not a kid.

Maybe my granddaughters wrote them when they were visiting?

Anyway, thank you.

Detective, please catch that thief!

[Case Report]

[Case File]

Five cases were reported in total.

There was a break-in every 2 weeks up until 3 months ago.

The last one was the 2-story house at 214 Daebong-dong?

Yes, this jerk is clever.

He never breaks into houses where men live.

And the value of the stolen items is low.

It's so petty that there are no leads on him whatsoever.

So Dongbu Police Station has given up.

We've enhanced patrols in the area.

And thankfully, it's been quiet since then.

Okay, thank you.

[Daebong Substation]

Daebong-dong, 183-10.

The number, 233.

Hey! Who are you?

- What are you doing? - Hold on!

- Ma'am! - Why are you lurking around?

- I'm a police officer! - Why? What?

I'm a police officer, ma'am.

Then why didn't you ring the doorbell?

Why did you lurk around my house? It looked so suspicious.

- My gosh. - I'm sorry. It's getting late.

What can I do for you?

I have a few questions.

What is it?

Do you happen to know what these numbers are for?

That's not my address.

What is it?

- Mom. - Yes?

Why did you come out?

Who's in your family?

Me and my kids. Just the three of us.

I don't mean to pry, but what about your husband?

Why do you ask?

I'm interviewing every household in the area.

We don't live together.

I see, I'm sorry.

You don't think your kids wrote the numbers, right?

They're not tall enough to reach that high.

I see.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sure. Come on. Let's go back inside.

Bye, Mr. Policeman.

- Hurry, go inside. - Bye, kiddo.

- What's wrong with this area? - I'm sorry again.

Daebong-dong, 190-3.

The number, 22.

Who do you live with?

Just me and my sibling. Why do you ask?

Your sibling? Sister or brother?

Sister.

Who do you live with?

I live alone.

Who do you live with?

My mom. It's just the two of us.

Every third house, I see a number written on the wall.

Who do you live with?

I live with my wife. What's this about?

- Who is it? - Hello.

My wife and I live here with our ten-year-old son.

[Daegyeong Waterproofing]

Choi Hwa Yeon's landlord's house had 233 written on the wall.

The house with 2 kids also had 233 written on the wall.

These numbers seem random.

What could they mean?

Gosh, that punk...

Maybe my granddaughters wrote them when they were visiting?

Me and my kids. Just the three of us.

[Do your duty.]

How many eateries in the area deliver?

Like Chinese restaurants and fried chicken joints.

- Which places deliver? - See these numbers?

What is this?

It shows you who lives in each household.

Two means an adult female. Three means a kid.

And the number one...

means an adult male.

That was the number he avoided, the houses where men live.

He deliberately broke into houses where only women or kids live.

But what does that have to do with restaurants that deliver?

It has to be someone with a job that allows him...

to have an idea of who lives in each household.

[Breaking News]

This just in.

The serial r*pist known as "Red Cap"...

whom women living in Seoul have been terrified of...

was arrested last night.

You're heading out already?

- Yes. - Dongbu Police Station...

- Gosh, isn't that your district... - The police managed...

to arrest the suspect at the scene.

The suspect was caught red-handed,

wearing his red cap.

He has admitted to all charges and confessed that he is...

the real culprit in the Red Cap serial m*rder case.

Do you admit to everything?

- Move back. - Just a comment, please.

Is there anything you'd like to say to the bereaved?

- Just a comment! - Move back!

- Look here! - Say something!

- Why did you do it? - How do you feel now?

- Just a comment! - Wait!

Do you admit to all charges?

- Wait! - Just a comment!

Unlike the previous cases...

that took place in the victims' homes,

- this incident... - How dare you smirk?

- took place... - Is this fun for you?

Request an arrest warrant.

Yes, sir.

Detective, it really wasn't me.

Why would I k*ll Hwa Yeon?

- Sit down. - That jerk.

Song Ha Young, right?

The culprit picked the lock to break in.

Look, these numbers...

Your friend has already confessed to everything.

Goodness. Should I go to a temple somewhere and pray?

Talk about bad timing.

How could you k*ll your own girlfriend?

It really wasn't me. Please believe me.

Hey, I've seen plenty of scumbags who k*lled their wives, daughters,

and even their own parents on the spur of the moment.

A girlfriend? That's nothing.

Goodness, me and my bad luck.

I caught a m*rder*r,

but that punk is getting all the spotlight now.

They only care because she was pregnant.

Why did he take her clothes off?

I guess he's a perverted punk.

You expect me to know his sexual preferences too?

If you're that curious, just ask his friend over there.

That guy isn't the culprit.

Get up and follow me.

Are you taking him to the Special Crime Squad?

Why would he go there? We're the ones who caught this punk.

All right.

The lucky ones always fall on a pile of gold even by accident.

[Traffic Management Team]

[Upright civic consciousness makes a better society.]

Hey!

I know you're the Red Cap.

Why?

Do you wish I wasn't?

You're nothing but a little puppy.

Don't try to act tough.

Announcement for Doctor Kim.

Please hurry over to the Internal Medicine Department.

He's not the culprit.

Is Bang Ki Hoon the real culprit?

His eyes weren't that of a criminal's eyes though.

Detective.

Please...

Do everything you can to catch the guy...

who k*lled my Hwa Yeon.

Bang Ki Hoon, the man who was Choi Hwa Yeon's boyfriend...

he's the culprit.

Did you say, "boyfriend?"

Hwa Yeon had a boyfriend?

She hid her pregnancy and even the fact that she had a boyfriend.

Is Bang Ki Hoon really the culprit then?

Oh, goodness.

Of all the things to take after me,

it had to be my bad luck with men.

I'm so sorry, Hwa Yeon.

I'm sorry, Hwa Yeon.

I should have stayed with her that day.

She asked me to sleep over.

She offered but I declined.

It's not your fault.

I should have died instead of Hwa Yeon.

My gosh.

Oh, goodness.

My poor daughter.

Hwa Yeon...

[Soon Ae Hospital]

My gosh, Hwa Yeon.

Goodness.

[Soon Ae Hospital, Emergency Room]

[Chief of Forensics Squad, Kook Young Soo]

Hello?

Chief, this is Ha Young.

Yes?

I need to ask you a favour.

- You're here. - Yes.

Here, take this.

Gosh.

Where is it?

They may have missed something in the first investigation.

Only this cup is left.

If Bang Ki Hoon cleaned it all up, why would he have left just this?

Everything matches.

From his fingerprints, bloodstain, and time of death.

He even confessed.

That's true, but...

You just got to Dongbu Station, will you be all right?

I came because you asked as a favour,

but just as a case is important, relationships are important too...

You're right. But right now, it's more important to catch the culprit.

You never give in to anything.

I heard you were friends with the suspect?

Did you run a background check on me?

"Background check," you say? I call it, "having interest."

We're basically strangers.

Even if he were my friend, nothing would change.

- As I told you earlier... - All right, I got it.

You're enough human interaction that I need.

That's why I couldn't refuse, you know that, right?

Thank you.

Express it a little for me then.

- Here? - No, forget it.

The fact he was calm enough to erase his footprints and fingerprints...

makes it highly likely that this was a planned crime.

A woman living alone in a one-bedroom like this...

He may have been hiding and waiting for her.

Either from underneath this bed...

or behind here.

Hey! Are you crazy?

Gosh, darn it.

Why did you ask for fingerprints on a case that's done? Why?

You said that Bang Ki Hoon isn't your friend.

It's not because he's my friend.

Friend or not. This case is over.

Bang Ki Hoon admitted to it!

That's because you forced a confession out of him...

You're a complete lunatic, aren't you?

Is Bang Ki Hoon stupid? Why would he say he k*lled her when he didn't?

He took back what he said though.

Darn it, you crazy lunatic!

Is it your hobby to screw your superiors over?

What's the problem?

I'm just saying, Bang Ki Hoon may not be the culprit.

If he's not...

if Bang Ki Hoon isn't the culprit.

What are you going to do about it?

If that becomes the case, we'll have a bigger problem.

You know it well yourself.

- Know what, you punk? - Captain!

- Is there something you know? - Calm down.

- You know nothing, you punk! - Please!

Step outside for a moment, please!

Calm down, Captain.

Hey!

You better fix your attitude if you want to keep this career.

You got it?

[Detective Division]

- Yes? - Inspector, Song Ha Young?

I'm calling to notify that the fingerprint results are in.

But we were unable to confirm the identity.

I understand the frustration...

but you have to accept the outcome.

- Hi. - Yes, hi.

My instincts are telling me otherwise.

I know we can't take a detective's instincts lightly.

But we have definite evidence and his confession too.

That's true, but...

The fact that Choi Hwa Yeon's wallet disappeared...

how she was left undressed,

and the trace of breaking in.

On top of that, the number that seemed marked by the culprit.

All those things are bothering me.

If it were a premeditated crime...

why did he leave her undressed?

He would've been busy trying to cover up his traces.

Have you heard about profilers?

We call them criminal behavioural analysts.

All the qualifications that a profiler needs,

you have them all.

First, refusing to give up just like you are now.

- All detectives are... - Next is having an open mind.

Intuition, general knowledge, and the skill to analyze logically.

You also need to be able to detach personal feelings and other things.

But more important than all that...

The thing I find most important is sensitivity.

"Sensitivity?"

Would you understand better if I say it's sensitivity towards others?

Why would you need that?

Because it's a job that analyzes people's hearts.

Goodness. You only say the most confusing stuff.

Hey, take this.

Give it a read when you have time.

And these.

Have some when you have time.

Thank you. What is this?

I'm making an attempt to create a new team.

I think I found the right guy...

as a criminal behavioural analyst.

It's a perfect job for someone like you.

I'm fine with what I do now.

Hey, if you turn me down before you even consider it,

you'll hurt my feelings.

Anyway, the thing is,

it's tough to tell what you're thinking,

but that's a strength for a profiler.

Are you teasing me?

No, I'm very serious.

You don't have to decide right away.

It'll take some time anyway.

But for now, just remember that there is...

something like this.

Where are you going after making her faint?

What did you do after you made her faint?

[Suspect]

Yes, you got on top of her.

You got on top of her and strangled her, right?

How did you strangle her?

Her neck.

It was her neck, right?

Man, this guy is driving me insane.

Hey, your hands weren't like that.

You pushed your hands up to her chin and strangled her.

Start pressing.

You did this, so why don't you remember?

Continue.

We're running out of time. Hurry up.

Keep taking the video.

After you strangled her, what's next?

And then what? You unbuttoned her shirt.

Take her clothes off.

Why did you k*ll your girlfriend?

Tell us the motive of your m*rder!

- Move aside. - Say something!

- Please move. - Why did you k*ll her?

- What's your motive? - m*rder*r!

- Why did you k*ll her? - What's the reason?

- Say something! - Why did you do it?

- You m*rder*r! - Why did you k*ll her?

Please move aside!

- No! - Please move!

No!

Bring my daughter back!

The victim lost her irreplaceable and precious life...

at such a young age,

and it is clear the victim's family will live in pain...

for the rest of her life, along with a psychological shock.

The crime of taking another person's life is...

serious and unacceptable...

and the accused did not reflect on his crime...

despite his history of as*ault.

The judiciary concluded that his crime was heinous.

[Daebong-dong m*rder Case, Judgement]

Hence, the court sentences Bang Ki Hoon, the accused,

to 12 years in prison.

Pak Se Ri did not give up in the midst of her crisis...

and showed her concentration until the end.

North Korea test-fired a new ballistic m*ssile today.

Today at 5:40pm, with the sound of a foghorn,

a historic departure was made for Mount Geumgang...

Park Chan h*, a pitcher in the MLB...

hit a two-base hit worth two points and more,

Shin Chang Won was finally caught.

Shin Chang Won, the man behind the escape of the century,

came to an end this afternoon thanks to a civilian's report.

Let's hear the report on Shin Chang Won's arrest...

from Reporter Choi Yong Beom.

Believe in Christ, go to heaven. Disbelief will send you to hell.

Believe in Christ, and you shall go to heaven.

If you do not, you'll be sent to hell.

Believe in Christ, go to heaven.

- Disbelief will send you to hell. - The police...

I'm back.

You brought it back?

Goodness, you didn't have to.

It was right around the corner.

Good work, Kang Moo. You should go home.

Thank you, sir.

- Good work today. - Good work.

Take good care of your grandma.

- Okay. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

He's very diligent, unlike other kids these days.

I hope my son can be half a man like Kang Moo.

Teens these days are all like your kid.

He's the odd one out.

Whenever he gets paid, he takes it to his grandmother.

There's no kid like him these days.

Does he think he's my dad or what?

[Sungwon Restaurant]

Dal Sik.

Why didn't you tell me about Dae Hyub?

[Stay tuned for the epilogue.]

[Through the Darkness]

Ha Young, what did you do with your friends today?

This lady looks sad.

- Yes. - Why is she sad?

Do you know how scary it is when you're deep underwater?

[Youngshin Supermarket]

She must've been scared and sad.

Her mom isn't there in the water.

Ha Young, come here.

It's not that Ha Young is unable to feel anything.

He can feel them way too deeply.

I'm not sure if you'll understand him.

But he can look deeply into people's inner side.

Their inner side?

Ha Young. What about your umbrella?

I gave you an umbrella this morning.

Where is it?

Ha Young is only nine years old.

It's because he's a child.

He sees a gap between his feelings and other people's reactions.

He must have realized that he is different from the others.

Seeing the dead body that day...

triggered this thought in his head.

So he's trying to hide his emotions.

Don't worry, Ha Young.

I will bury it in a nice place.

Come here.

I want to know why you thought he didn't do it.

If you fail to catch him again, things will get worse.

Detective Song of Dongbu Police Station...

went to Yang Yong Chul, an inmate in prison,

and received help from the inmate. And this news shocked the public.

A detective kept visiting him...

and asking him for advice.

Criminals understand each other better.

It's about the Behavioural Analysis Team.

I think we can finally set it up.

Other people might not understand why we need this, but you know...

that we need this.

And I am certain that you are the perfect man for the job.
