Nine Puzzles

[quirky music]

Hangang Police involved in m*rder,

allegedly received…

…suspicions of sexual bribery…

Owner close to high-ranking…

[wheels rattling]

Hello, guys!

I've been assigned

to the Miyoung Lee case as of today.

My name is Lieutenant Ena Yoon.

Nice to meet ya.

Where should I put my stuff?

Hey, Captain, what's going on?

The Chief ordered it.

Captain Jungho Yang.

Great. It's nice to meet ya.

Former chief of Hangang Police Station

found stabbed at home

Crime and Punishment

[humming]

[Ena] Now where did I put it?

[humming continues]

Hmm?

Got something to say?

You know I do.

Follow me out.

What's your reason for being here?

Hmm?

You scared we're gonna find you out?

[deep inhale]

You're so confident, right?

You've never once doubted yourself,

have ya?

Maybe you should start.

That could help you find the answer.

You're here just to talk bullshit?

Hardly.

Why do you think I transferred here?

Here's what I think.

Hogeun, Dongsu, and Miyoung

are part of a puzzle

that includes my uncle.

Their deaths are all connected.

You forgot about yourself!

I finally remembered.

[Hansaem] What?

What did you remember?

10 years ago, in that living room,

I was right there with the k*ller.

[blows raspberry]

Stupid, right?

I was so scared that it might've been me

that m*rder*d him,

but it wasn't me at all!

It took you 10 years to remember that,

or have you just been stringing us along?

Or maybe you're feeling a little cornered

'cause of all of this.

[exasperated sigh]

Jeez, you're such a nag.

A nag?

A nag?

You report to me, so you need to watch

your mouth and speak respectfully.

-I don't wanna.

-[Hansaem] What do you mean?

I'm much older

and more experienced than you.

[scoffs] God, you're such a boomer.

[soft thump]

Superintendent Hogeun Hyeun

You wanna know the reason?

Yeah.

Have you read the paper?

"What is happening with the police?"

"Bar owner allegedly

provided sexual bribes…"

This is just an ordinary case.

Why would a profiler take on a--

If it's so ordinary,

why haven't we caught the k*ller yet?

Headquarters wants this case

wrapped up as soon as possible.

She's here as your support.

Is that clear?

If you have time to barge in here…

at least barge in with a solid lead.

You gotta admit

the timing of her assignment to my unit

is a bit weird.

Especially because she's so close to you.

You stupid little f*ck.

So, tell me something,

if you're profiling him, is he aware?

[sharp inhale]

Well, he'll know soon.

He is a detective after all.

Uh… But why is he working

as your partner then?

Firstly, he's very tenacious.

Obsessive.

Once he sets his mind on something,

he just can't let it go.

When his lid comes off…

he totally changes. Like that!

His "lid"?

Oh. You mean his hat.

So, does this make sense to you?

It's been 10 years.

How'd I suddenly remember it?

Do I even have PTSD?

You finally remember what happened.

Shouldn't you be relieved?

Also…

Hmm…

My diagnosis has never been wrong.

Then why haven't I remembered until now?

Hmm.

Because of guilt?

Why would…

Perhaps because you couldn't look back.

[pensive music]

Because I couldn't look back, huh?

[sharp inhale]

What do you think would've happened

if I had looked back?

Would they have k*lled me as well?

That probably would've been the case.

But I guess…

I'm glad you'll be able

to sleep more soundly.

I think you're just glad

because I won't call you anymore.

Of course, there's that.

[grunts]

Dr. Lee.

You do believe me, right?

You said you remembered, and so I do.

[sharp inhale]

Honestly, I don't think

I can trust my memories… 100%.

Ciao.

[door opens, closes]

[sighs]

She asked us to share case info today.

Where'd she go

instead of looking at the files?

Oh, you know,

she probably just went to lunch.

The case isn't exceptional,

but she volunteered to help us out.

[Lt. Ro] She'll do her part.

[Jungho] Then it's business as usual.

We'll continue to share information

on the case.

I can't… [sighs]

Do we really have to?

-It's your job.

-Ah, come on.

Just do enough to humor her a little.

It's not a big deal.

Don't be so sensitive.

We'll catch the k*ller anyway.

That's enough of that.

What don't we have the answer to yet?

[Hansaem] Why'd the k*ller

only take the resident card?

Let's focus our energy on that.

I'll request a second forensics analysis.

Youngha and Ro, I want you to go

to the house and stake it out.

There must be something

the k*ller had to take from there.

Lieutenant San, learn more

about the string the k*ller used.

[Jungho] Any questions?

[Lt. Choi]

Well, it's not exactly a question.

When I was gathering dash footage,

there was this older guy there,

and I overheard him saying that…

he always used to park

where the victim was k*lled.

Then one day, whenever he parked there,

he'd find screws slammed into his tires

and scratches on his car.

And at first, he didn't think much of it.

But the car only got messed up

when he parked in that one spot.

It's a CCTV blind spot.

He said he had to park

somewhere else ever since.

He sounded pretty angry.

Yeah, that's weird.

Coincidence?

No.

The k*ller planned this for a while.

Captain, I'll go check

through the CCTV footage

of the apartment's parking lot.

-We might get lucky.

-[Jungho] Okay.

[grunts]

Detective is a job where you save

both the assailant and the victim

What are you doing in my seat?

Lieutenant Kim… is a Type T.

What are you talking about?

Personality type?

He's a Type T, right? Has to be.

He's got no empathy

and never confides in anyone.

Well, I wouldn't say that, exactly.

He's pretty nice to me.

I think he's got an F side.

-Are you serious?

-Yeah.

Do you know that I've been following him

for the last decade?

Why you been following the guy?

When my uncle was k*lled,

did Kim look into where he'd gone?

-Yeah.

-I knew it!

Thanks a lot.

What the hell was that about?

She's the Type T.

-Stop.

-[keyboard key clicks]

Can you zoom in on this part?

[sighs]

[car engine revving effect]

[sighs]

Can you make the screen brighter?

Now play it again, frame by frame,

from here, okay?

Good.

[soft pensive music]

[car engine rumbling effect]

[fabric flapping effect]

[squeaking]

[Hansaem] Of the places that Miyoung went,

this is the only one without cameras.

This is where the k*ller got into the car.

But why did they wait?

Why not k*ll her right then?

[Ena] Whoa!

You figured out

the k*ller got in the car first,

then k*lled her here.

I bet the k*ller's a perfectionist.

Almost compulsive, like you are.

The k*ller had already decided

on the location of the crime.

Right here in this parking spot.

I've been thinking about where the k*ller

would've had to have hidden,

in order to threaten Miyoung Lee

and bring her back here.

A controllable space,

with short travel distance.

Where would that have been?

I'm not really sure.

In the car.

So, the two of them could be alone.

I figure, they got in the car

in a place that had no cameras,

like at the whiskey bar.

[Ena]

The k*ller must've waited there patiently

until Miyoung got into her car.

Staying silent,

maintaining complete composure.

One minute.

Five minutes.

10 minutes.

Finally, Miyoung got in the car.

Presenting the perfect chance.

All they had to do was k*ll her.

But… the k*ller paused again.

They waited until they got here.

35 minutes.

-[squeaking]

-[chokes]

[bones crack]

[Ena] There must be a reason

why she wasn't k*lled until they got here.

The woman on the puzzle piece

is whispering.

-[k*ller whispering]

-Did the k*ller speak to her?

If so, what did the k*ller say to Miyoung

as they traveled for 35 minutes?

And what did Miyoung say

in response to the k*ller?

Was the answer important?

Or… was this location important?

Well, which one is it?

Hmm.

That's something

we'll have to ask the k*ller.

What's that?

Last time, I didn't get a proper hello.

Let's stop by for a meal.

-[beeping]

-What are you talking about, huh?

[intercom chiming]

[Hansaem's mom] Who is it?

Hello, good evening. Do you remember me?

Would you mind if I came up for a meal?

I'm actually here with your son.

-Hey.

-Oh. Okay.

Don't open the door, Mom.

-[door opens]

-[scoffs]

I've been wondering about you.

[soft chuckle]

Happy to see you.

I'm sorry, but I gotta say…

the food is quite bland.

-I think it needs more seasoning.

-[Hansaem's mom laughing]

That's why I've been taking

cooking lessons.

-I'm sorry.

-[Ena] Mm-hmm.

Actually, that's why he always orders out

when he's here.

[Hansaem's mom chuckles]

Is that why you don't eat?

You said I didn't have to worry about her.

Didn't expect you to come here for a meal.

She's just trying to profile me

right now, is all.

Hmm!

You noticed that.

So, um… has he ever brought

one of his girlfriends home to meet you?

You don't have to answer that.

Hmm… Well, that's a very private question.

Does the profiler need to know?

Yeah.

I'm kind of interested in Lieutenant Kim,

you see…

Huh.

I've followed him around for a decade.

Have you really?

Oh.

Then I gotta make it a good answer.

Uh, he's been on dates with a few women,

but he never brought anyone home before.

Ah. What about friends?

Has he ever brought any friends home?

Am I the first one?

He brought a friend over for dinner once.

-[Ena] Mm.

-Ena, you're the second.

Who was the friend?

Mom, Mom.

Could you please not answer that?

It was in his first year of high school.

-[sighs]

-[chuckles]

One day,

he suddenly brought a friend home.

And, uh, I found it a little bit weird

because it was someone

I had never heard of.

I remember, during dinner,

that boy said one thing.

"It really does."

Ah, Mom, I'm leaving now.

Come on, Ena. We're going.

-[Ena] Why did he say that?

-Hansaem had said,

"Mom's curry tastes

just like black bean sauce.

But she just won't believe me.

So you have to try

and tell her it's true."

That's why he brought his friend home.

That kid still comes by

every now and then.

Once Hansaem takes your hand,

he'll never let you go.

-[groans]

-[chuckles]

Thank you for the meal.

Ah! Goodness, you didn't finish your food.

You just said random things, right?

Why'd you do that? Why'd you say her curry

was like black bean sauce?

That's not your style.

[pensive music]

[Ena sighs]

You wanted to protect your friend.

I guess that's the reason you said

all of that out-of-character nonsense.

To keep your friend nearby.

That kid was unwell.

In many ways.

Hey, Curry Kim.

[Hansaem sighs]

I really hope you'll take my hand too.

The puzzle piece came to me

after 10 years,

and I finally remembered that the k*ller

was lurking behind me there in the den.

I asked you before,

why did I get the first piece of it?

Why was the puzzle piece sent to me?

Haven't you figured that out yet?

I'm known to the k*ller.

That was why I profiled you.

I'm not the k*ller,

that much I know for sure.

And I know I'm someone the k*ller knows.

So I needed someone I could trust.

-[scoffs]

-[Ena] It's your turn now.

You can profile me.

Keep your eyes on me…

until you're convinced.

[Ena] It's your turn now.

You can profile me.

Keep your eyes on me…

until you're convinced.

The One City building A

Level 2, parking lot

Miyoung Lee, age 43

A rope that can strangle her

[Ena] The least amount of time,

the least amount of force.

Obviously, the k*ller knew

Miyoung Lee's life inside and out.

"Presumed suspect"

Why did he target her?

And also…

why my uncle?

Ena Yoon: Aren't you going to

keep an eye on me and observe?

[scoffs]

[phone buzzes]

Personnel file, Ena Yoon.pdf

[Lt. Ro] Man… How the hell

did you even find this?

It's just incredible, huh?

[scoffs] We should give him

a new nickname. "The CCTV Master."

I couldn't've found this,

not in a million years.

What about forensics?

They find anything?

They found a fingerprint.

Just a partial one though.

That's big news. Where was it found?

Victim's car. Driver's headrest.

Guess we missed it the first time 'round.

It needs analysis.

I've sent it out to the lab.

Oh, that's great, Captain.

The case just got easier.

What about her home?

You guys find anything?

Nothing of consequence.

If we didn't find anything at her house,

then the resident card

had nothing to do with it.

[Lt. Ro sighs]

-So, why'd the k*ller take it then?

-Yeah.

[Lt. Ro] And why did the k*ller

bring her to The One City

instead of just doing it right away

as soon as she got into the car?

Well, I guess…

that's the motive for m*rder.

[footsteps approaching]

The Profile Report is all done.

Whoa, it's only been a day.

You've got it already?

Miyoung Lee incident profiling report

[Lt. Ro]

"The crime scene exhibits a high level

of criminal knowledge

and meticulous planning…"

"And the k*ller appears to have

near-perfect self-control."

"Similarities have been identified

with the m*rder of Superintendent Yoon.

Causing these murders to be…"

"A premeditated serial k*lling."

Yeah.

[sighs]

You've gotta be kidding me.

[Lt. Ro] Yeah, tell me about it.

What's all this about serial k*lling?

And, uh, your suspect type is based on…

puzzle pieces?

We're not playing a kid's game here.

So… do these two puzzle pieces

really exist or not?

[Ena clears throat]

It doesn't matter if they're real or not.

This puzzle piece

wasn't found at the crime scene.

No evidence

that this case is related to the other.

Ah, that's what I meant.

But these puzzle pieces are weird.

Why did they end up going to you?

[Ena] Hard to say.

I don't have an answer for that yet.

I do know, that if the puzzle pieces

hadn't come to me,

then I wouldn't have realized

these killings were related.

However, when the MO

of seven murders out of ten is the same,

is that enough to claim

they were done by the same k*ller?

It is not.

But sometimes,

we have to look at a series of traits,

a collection of unique characteristics

that, when combined, point to the k*ller.

[dramatic music]

[Ena] Both cases occurred

in the victims' personal space

during a window of time

when the victims were alone.

The victims were selected beforehand.

The k*ller patiently followed

and observed the targets.

Then selected a CCTV blind spot.

After finalizing the plan,

the k*ller calmly waited

for a perfect chance to commit the crime.

Then the targets were m*rder*d

in the shortest time with minimal force.

This means that the victims weren't

m*rder*d solely for the k*ller's pleasure.

All of this… tells me that the k*ller held

a deeply rooted grudge

against the victims.

What strikes me as odd

is that these killings

were carried out logically,

like an assassination.

These characteristics suggest

a link between the two crimes,

revealing a serial k*ller.

The puzzle pieces

were just the cherry on top.

So, do you still think

I'm playing a kid's game?

Lieutenant Yoon, I respect your analysis,

but this is unreasonable.

Let's consider the puzzle.

The pieces are part of a larger picture.

They were made with the same material.

Do you have an opinion, Lieutenant Kim?

[sharp inhale]

Do you share the same thoughts

as these other guys here?

Well, my opinion doesn't really matter.

Your mind's made up it's a serial crime.

Just to be clear…

did you sign on to this case

to catch your uncle's k*ller?

Lieutenant Kim,

you don't believe this, do you?

Are you still not convinced?

[Lt. An] Sir.

Did you volunteer to do this?

Well, I don't get to come here

just 'cause I ask to.

I wasn't the first of us

to volunteer, but….

Anyway… Yeah.

So then…

you came to look into your uncle

and Miyoung Lee?

Yeah.

[Hogeun] I understand how you feel.

However,

we're not in America.

What kinda lunatic

would send a puzzle piece…

after they've k*lled someone?

And not once, but twice? Huh?

If you keep doing your job like that,

no one'll like you.

Folks are already complaining about--

-[yawning]

-[sighs]

Hmm.

Then respectfully, leave me alone.

Wait, Ena!

Everyone, forget that report.

[Lt. Ro] Yeah, no problem.

We'll do it our way.

I mean, when did we ever listen

to a profiler anyway, right?

[sharp inhale]

What kind of a person

do you think Miyoung was?

Why don't we forget the k*ller

for a second and start over

by looking into the victim first?

This m*rder clearly

wasn't accidental or random.

There must be a reason,

some kind of reason, right?

Just like Ena said.

The k*ller must've had a reason

to risk getting arrested. A motive.

A grudge.

[sharp inhale]

It's hard not to agree with that.

We have to find out who Miyoung was

to figure this out.

Oh.

I'm sorry for making you wait.

Is this your first visit?

Actually, I don't have an appointment.

Can I sneak in a session?

Sure. Just fill out your personal

information and this questionnaire.

Okay.

Sunshine Mental Health Clinic

Psychiatric assessment questionnaire

4. I have recurring involuntary impulses,

thoughts, and/or images

[car engine revving effect]

[grim music]

[heavy breath]

[Dr. Lee's colleague] True.

I agree with you…

we need to discuss his reaction.

Miyoung Lee, current address,

place of birth, family…

[Jungho]

What about her brother in the Philippines?

Is he not back yet?

Well, uh…

I informed him of his sister's death,

but it seems

the family cut ties a long time ago.

He didn't mention he'd return.

There must be a reason

for their estrangement.

How about her father? Can we reach him?

Well, his cell phone's off,

and the phone rings at home

but no one picks up.

Looks like we're gonna

have to go visit him.

[sharp inhale] I'll go.

To Tongyeong?

Yes. I'll be back.

Just text me the address.

Yeah, there goes Lieutenant Kim,

our department's best detective!

Go get them!

So, should I go with him too?

Man, I always draw the short stick.

Donghaeng-dong, Tongyeong,

South Gyeongsang Province

[car door opens]

Don't worry, I'll drive.

Take the chance to get some rest.

Sweet! [sharp exhale]

Why do you keep following me?

Get out. Where's Lieutenant San?

I'm more helpful than that guy.

You don't even know where I'm going.

Aren't you on your way

to meet Miyoung's father?

You didn't listen?

I told you to keep an eye on me, right?

So, why aren't you?

Did you read my personnel file?

[scoffs]

Your specialty

is helping out a friend in need.

Think of me as that curry kid.

[clears throat]

Let's go. We're losing time.

[indistinct chatter]

[Ena breathes deeply]

[Lt. Choi] No, I want to go camping

more than you do.

But we just got a lead on the case,

and I have to work.

-It's not like I don't want to go.

-[sighs]

Why don't you all go

to the campsite first and set up, okay?

-I'll try to resolve the case--

-Hey, San!

-[Hansaem] San!

-Hang on.

Yes, Hansaem?

Go camping, okay?

[Ena giggles] Hmm.

Ciao.

[engine starts]

Hey, the case just got solved.

Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province

Why are you guys suddenly

looking into the victim?

Does Miyoung's father know

that his daughter was k*lled?

He doesn't know.

[sharp inhale]

I'm curious why Miyoung

didn't stay in touch with her father.

It looks like she cut ties with him

since middle school.

[Ena] Hmm…

[doorbell chiming]

[chiming continues]

[rattling]

[Ena] No one has been home for a while.

Excuse me, sir, may I ask you something?

[resident] Sure.

Does the house above you

belong to Mr. Lee?

Yes, it does.

I rang the doorbell but no one answered.

They wouldn't, would they?

No one lives there.

[Hansaem] Oh, did he move?

Is there a way for me to reach him?

Well…

His number still works if you wanna call…

but I don't think he'll answer.

He's in a nursing home, you see.

[manager] I'm not sure if he'll respond,

but you can try.

Is his condition that bad?

Oh, so you don't know.

Mr. Lee suffers from dementia.

That means he'll seem just fine one day,

but the next day,

he won't speak a single word to anyone.

[manager] This way.

Oh.

You go on ahead.

Oh, dear, he must be hot.

He's wearing that jacket again.

Mr. Lee?

How are you feeling today?

Um, someone came to see you from Seoul.

Hello, sir. I came to visit

regarding your daughter, Miyoung.

[sharp inhale]

Sir, may I have a word with you?

[manager] Mr. Lee?

Well, bad luck.

It looks like he's not gonna talk today.

[chuckles]

[Hansaem sighs]

"Ways to communicate

with a dementia patient"

[voice] Papa?

[quirky music]

What the hell are you doing?

Papa. I'm here. It's Miyoung.

Have you been waiting long?

Hey, that won't… [sighs]

[Mr. Lee] Yes.

[soft groan]

I wear this jacket you gave me…

every single day.

[both chuckle]

[Mr. Lee breathes deeply]

Gosh, I'm hungry.

-You're hungry? Um…

-Yes.

Anything special you'd like to eat?

[in Korean] Jjajangmyeon.

-Jjajangmyeon?

-Hmm.

Remember you loved to eat that?

[soft chuckle]

You still remember that I used to love

eating jjajangmyeon, that's cute.

-[Mr. Lee] Uh-huh.

-[manager chuckles softly]

-Excuse me.

-Huh?

May I have a word with you outside?

-Oh, sure.

-Great.

[soft exhale]

Could you tell me

when did Mr. Lee come here?

Oh, honestly,

he hasn't been here too long.

Um, I guess, he moved in

about two months ago.

-Two months ago?

-[manager] Yeah.

Well, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't

have been able to check himself in here.

Do you remember if there was anyone

who helped him out?

Uh…

Uh, I'll have to go look.

I must have kept

the guardian's contact. Um…

This person claimed to be his guardian.

He said he was a cousin

who lived in his neighborhood.

-[Hansaem] The same neighborhood?

-That's right.

-Thank you very much.

-Mm, sure.

[slurps]

Have I…

ever told you about Donghoon Yoon?

Donghoon Yoon?

Uh… yeah.

[Ena] Do you remember?

No, I don't.

[Mr. Lee munching]

You…

broke up with that idiot, right?

You did, didn't you?

[chuckles] 'Course I did.

You remember all kinds of silly things.

[awkward chuckle]

[Mr. Lee exhales softly]

Do you…

remember his name?

[suspenseful music]

I…

I don't.

Well, then what about him did you hate?

His face.

His face?

It gave me a bad feeling…

every time I saw him.

It seems to me like she had zero contact

with her family.

Was there a special reason for that?

I guess, uh…

it was in her middle school days.

She left home then.

Ever since her mom died,

she couldn't pull herself together,

and she ran away.

Do you know if Ms. Lee ever visited

her father after she ran away from home?

Seven years later…

she came to visit him once.

It was winter.

She got an expensive-looking

padded jacket to give to Doowon.

Why'd she suddenly visit him?

[soft chuckle] She brought a guy with her.

They wanted to get married.

That's what she said.

-A boyfriend?

-Yeah.

Uh…

It was clear to me,

Doowon didn't like the guy.

He said that Miyoung was gonna

end up dead because of him.

Do you remember the guy's name?

Uh…

It's so long ago.

-I'm not so sure.

-[sighs]

By any chance,

was that man a police officer?

He wasn't with the police.

He said he graduated

from some fancy high school

and had his own business.

Oh, but wait.

He told me something else as well.

Miyoung came back

a completely different person.

He didn't like that.

[engine idling]

Wishing for luck this spring,

may it bring prosperity and joy

[faint rustling]

-Jesus!

-[gasps]

Are you kidding me?

What… What're you doing here?

You surprised me.

[clears throat]

Let's get the guy.

What guy?

The man Miyoung brought home with her.

How did you know about that?

[chuckles]

[sighs]

If she did bring him home,

he would've left some kind of trace.

Yeah, but that happened 20 years ago.

[clicks tongue]

You think there's anything left?

She only brought him here once.

Only one time?

[sharp inhale]

Then why did he say

"every time I saw him"?

-Huh?

-[Ena] "Every time I saw him."

"Every time I saw him…

Every time I saw him…"

[mumbles]

[snaps fingers] That's the reason.

Huh?

[soft chuckle]

[foreboding music]

Isn't this a tattoo on his neck?

It looks like

the kind of tattoo the yakuza get.

Lots of people get those tattoos

these days.

-Oh, really?

-Mm-hmm.

Anyway, all we have is this photo

of a guy without a name.

How are we gonna find him?

I mean, we don't know anything about him.

He could be Japanese.

Someone had to have seen him.

-Search the vicinity.

-[detectives] Yes, sir.

Now. Move it!

So, what did you talk about

with Miyoung's father today,

for him to bring up that guy?

Do you think that old man…

will remember today?

[soft breath]

When do you think he'll find out

that his daughter is dead?

Will finding out now hurt him less?

Or will it hurt less

to find out much later?

It'll hurt the same amount.

The time it takes to live through a loss

like that is the same either way.

It doesn't matter

if he finds out now or not.

His dementia might be a good thing.

Curry Kim.

Same goes for me too.

How do you think I felt

when my uncle died?

Once I'm completely convinced

that you aren't the k*ller,

I'll think about it then.

[chuckling]

That's good.

There's some room for you to consider it.

[sharp inhale]

Anyway, Miyoung's dad asked…

why I changed so much.

Gee, I wonder why he said that.

Maybe he's not that far gone.

Come on. That wasn't it.

He told me that after seven years,

his daughter returned

as a completely different person.

Yeah, his cousin said the same thing.

Miyoung came back

as a completely different person.

Why would somebody say that?

[engine rumbling]

[light background music]

[footsteps approaching]

I ordered you a margarita.

[Ena] It never occurred to me…

that my uncle could be someone different

than who I knew him to be.

It's weird to think about.

I wonder what kind of person my uncle was.

When do we become a different person?

Do you think that's a bad thing?

Becoming different people

is part of life, isn't it?

Hmm.

We all become different at some point,

just like how you're different now

compared to your 19-year-old self.

We all go through certain life events

and meet certain people along the way.

What's important…

are the choices we make

when we become different.

If you want to know more

about that side of your uncle,

then maybe you should…

consider investigating

the choices he made.

[Jeoungun] Hello?

Good morning, this is Lieutenant Kim

from the Hangang Police Station.

Oh. Uh, how can I help you, Lieutenant?

I texted you a photo. I was wondering

if you'd ever seen the guy in it.

[groans] Gimme a second.

Let me have a look.

Whoa… you called me a lot.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Imagine that the man in the picture

is about 20 years older than that.

[soft exhale]

[Jeoungun] Him…

You know this guy?

Yeah.

I've seen him before.

He came to the bar

about a month after we opened.

He claimed that he used to know Miyoung

when they were younger.

[Jeoungun]

He said that he was happy for her.

He wanted to congratulate her.

He ordered the most expensive

bottle of whiskey we had.

Then, like a month ago,

he came back into the bar again.

It had been a long time.

But… he seemed completely different.

He asked Miyoung to lend him some money.

He said she opened this bar

with the money he gave her,

and the apartment was supposed

to be his too, he made a huge scene.

I couldn't deal with him anymore,

I wanted to call the cops,

but Miyoung stopped me.

She said he'd lose his sh*t

if we provoked him.

[Jeoungun sighs]

Do you remember his name?

Yeah.

When Miyoung wasn't looking,

he gave me his business card.

Told me to come by for dinner.

Here.

You said you were coming, so I dug it up.

"CEO Chimok Kang"

[phone buzzing]

Yes, Captain?

We got a match on that partial print.

It belongs to Chimok Kang.

He's in Seoul. 127 Hannam-dong.

[siren blaring]

We're on our way to his restaurant.

Youngha and Ro are at his house.

[siren blaring]

[tires screeching]

[employee] Can I help you?

Police.

[suspenseful music]

[hostess] Oh, may I help you, gentlemen?

-We need to check something.

-Sir, wait!

[Jungho] Police business.

Please cooperate.

[Hansaem] Is Mr. Chimok Kang here?

Oh, Mr. Kang?

He is not here today.

I'll confirm that myself.

[suspenseful music continues]

Maybe he saw us coming and took off.

Look around.

Whoa, you're not supposed to open those!

-What are you doing?

-Don't touch me!

-Stop opening those!

-Get off me!

You aren't allowed to do this

in a private business.

-[phone ringing]

-If you keep touching me,

I'll arrest you

for obstructing an officer.

[Lt. Choi] Please cooperate.

Hello, Captain. He's not here either.

He didn't come home last night.

[Lt. Ro] Yes, sir. Yeah.

Oh, I see.

I understand.

[sharp inhale] I'm sorry.

Uh, this is a little embarrassing,

but could I come inside

and use your bathroom?

[suspenseful music continues]

[splashes]

[burbling]

[music intensifies]

[closing theme music]
