KIM SAEHA B-391

That's the police report

written last night.

This is about

the convenience store suspect they lost.

I saw it on the news yesterday.

Yes, and I reported the m*rder

to the police.

-How did that happen?

-I happened to witness the scene.

I see. And?

I thought it was a simple m*rder

by a robber yesterday.

But the Songje Police Station detective

who wrote this report

experienced a strange phenomenon

while chasing the suspect.

But she might have made an excuse

to avoid criticism for losing the suspect.

The sketch is attached below.

It's an unidentified woman.

The culprit's a woman?

The person in the footage is a man

SKETCH OF THE ACCOMPLICE

Apparently, she's his accomplice.

Accomplice?

On what grounds?

Why do they think she's an accomplice?

She helped the m*rder suspect escape.

The thing is, after that,

the woman suddenly disappeared

before the detective's eyes.

Do you have anything else to report

as the first witness?

No. I went home

right after I made the witness statement.

Delete the record of sending this to me

from your computer.

I'll delete this report too.

I already did.

DELETING THE FILE

Eojin.

By any chance

Do you still hope that it'll happen?

It's time we gave up.

I hope it's right this time.

Ghost, please appear now.

Who wrote the report again?

It's Jung Saebyeok,

an investigator from Songje Station.

Name. Kim Manok.

What? He doesn't have a family?

No, he doesn't.

It seems that

he just stopped by the store.

It doesn't look like a revenge k*lling

or a premeditated crime.

I don't think he'll show up

around the victim again.

And he's not wanted,

though he was once on probation.

-For what?

-Animal abuse.

Seeing how he went back to his place,

I'm not sure

he's smart, bold, or just stupid.

Who are you?

Huh?

You identified the suspect.

We'll take it from here.

-Thank you for your work.

-What?

Why'd you turn it off?

Don't touch it. Who are you guys?

Hand all the evidence over to us.

We'll handle this case now.

Which department are you from?

We're from the Administration Bureau.

Administration? Administer what? Of where?

I don't see Investigator Jung Saebyeok.

-Where is she?

-I don't care where you guys are from.

Bring Investigator Jung Saebyeok.

What?

Captain.

The chief is asking for you. Something

about the Administration Bureau

Where's Investigator Jung?

Detective Jung went to the NFS.

For DNA analysis? The culprit's DNA?

Well, the suspect has an accomplice so

Hello, sir. Some people from

the Administration Bureau just barged

Are you serious?

To people I don't even know?

When did Investigator Jung leave?

She left after getting a call

saying the DNA results were in.

Make sure both she and the NFS

don't know anything.

-Yes, ma'am.

-You two follow the manual too.

-We do not see, hear, or speak.

-We do not see, hear, or speak.

We're well aware of that, ma'am.

STRONG TEETH DENTIS

Who'd recognize him?

Sorry?

No one would recognize

a man hanging from the window

unless they personally know him.

That wasn't why I was looking at it.

You have the results.

Yes, the results are in.

I heard she's an accomplice.

-Yes.

-You should find her soon then.

I will catch her. Thank you.

No, that's not what I meant.

Hurry before she dies.

What?

How can I explain it?

Her DNA is a little off.

How so?

Well, comparing it to bones,

it's like they are all dislocated.

Is that even possible?

Can she still live like that?

No, she can't.

Are you saying it's a dead person's DNA?

Well, I'm not sure. I've never seen

anything like this before,

so I'd like to do further analysis.

Do you have any other DNA samples

of the cap owner?

I'll look for more. Thank you.

Sure. Bye.

How can I explain it?

Her DNA is a little off.

Hurry before she dies.

Well, it's like all her bones

are dislocated.

Yes, Captain?

You're still at the NFS, right?

Well, someone wants to talk to you.

Who?

Investigator Jung Saebyeok?

Listen to me carefully and do as I say.

Who is this?

The Administration Bureau?

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

How can I help you?

Hi, we are

-What are you

-That car's the investigator in charge.

Those punks.

Get out of the car!

Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Open the door.

We've collected all other evidence

from your station. That's the last one.

Please cooperate.

You're not asking me to cooperate.

You're forcing me.

You must've heard everything.

Why are you doing this?

Yes, I've heard everything.

But I don't feel like cooperating.

We just need to take this.

I guess you're not busy today.

You wanted nothing to do with it

yesterday. Why do this now?

Since when did the Administration Bureau

order the police around

outside of their jurisdiction?

You have no authority.

Yes, we do. It is under our jurisdiction.

You know that.

How would I know?

All I know is that you are no different

from the Administration Bureau.

Showing up after years and

telling me to just do as you say?

It's not like I wanted to show up.

Let's just get this over with.

Eojin.

Can you please roll down

this window for me?

You must find this absurd and offensive,

but we're also public officials.

You can trust us.

This is important for us too.

We'll do our best to catch the culprit.

Just think of it

as a transfer of jurisdiction

and give us the document.

Thank you.

Did you take a look at this?

What if I did?

Say you didn't.

You must say no.

I regret that I didn't.

Why, of all people

Well, that investigator is

No need.

How can I help you?

My money! That

That jerk! Catch him! My

That crazy jerk.

Why did he touch my butt?

Have you talked to anyone

about what happened today?

I saw the Grid breaking again

on my way back.

And the Grid Control Team always acts

like they're the center of the world?

But they won't be able to do that anymore

because we finally found her.

Right, Ms. Choi?

What about the NFS?

Did you keep them quiet?

Yes, we told them to erase

the analysis results from their memory.

Our team finally produced actual results

after almost 30 years, Ms. Choi.

Did you work in pairs

while on duty according to the rules?

-Have you ever gone alone?

-Never.

Oh, right.

I heard you're the witness to the case.

Have you personally contacted

the detectives in charge since then?

No, never.

You'll be punished accordingly if it's

revealed that you've leaked any secrets.

-Do you consent?

-I do.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We should get the m*rder*r first

to get some clue about the Ghost, right?

We should get ready to investigate then.

Get ready to go home.

Yes, ma'am.

I guess all you care about

is going home no matter what happens.

We need to go home

to come to work the next day, Eojin.

Thank you.

A person like him is

definitely overpaid. Jeez.

In movies, a person like him

usually turns out to be an alien

or an emperor of a star that's perished.

He could be an Oscar winner then.

-Which way are you going?

Of course, we are.

Would you like to make a reservation?

Is everything okay?

What do you mean?

I saw that place was surrounded

by the police.

Oh, they're all gone.

No police here now.

You can come now.

How many are in your party?

-Your phone?

-Hey, look carefully.

Hello?

Oh, no! My phone!

-Isn't it in your pocket?

-Where did it go?

Sir. I used my phone here earlier.

My phone. Did I drop it here somewhere?

-It's 10,000 won.

-Is it cool material?

It is.

Do I get

a discount if I buy two?

SKETCH OF THE ACCOMPLICE

THE WOMAN SUDDENLY

DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR

This is easy for you, isn't it?

Because you can just disappear.

Like you did before.

Who are you?

So it's because of the woman, huh?

Not the suspect.

My eyes hurt.

What are you doing here?

Can't you see? Why are you yelling at me?

That was rude of me.

I'm sorry.

By any chance, I didn't kick you

somewhere I shouldn't, did I?

No, I'm perfectly fine.

You don't seem fine at all.

If you try to take this away

from me again,

you really won't be fine then.

Is that

the accomplice's fingerprint?

The suspect's been identified,

so I doubt you need his fingerprints.

-Hey, get down here!

-Hey, let go of the rope!

Hurry!

Gosh!

Collateral damage?

You said you got the accomplice's

fingerprints from her cap.

When did I?

In the report that you wrote.

Were they not enough?

The window frames

were gently placed on the floor yesterday.

Where is he?

If the suspect

tore them out to escape,

they would've been broken or damaged.

If his accomplice had torn them out

for him That makes sense.

She even prepared a rope beforehand.

How's the investigation going?

You don't know anything.

You must know more than I do,

seeing how you said I don't know anything.

Why do you keep

asking me questions?

You're the one

who should be giving me answers.

You forced us to hand it over.

There must be some progress.

It is progressing.

And?

We've been excluded.

No, we'll be excluded.

It's always like that.

My team finds traces.

Then another team

carries out the investigation.

"It's always like that" means

the AB has been looking

for her for some time.

That means

I didn't see it wrong.

No, you didn't.

Check the phone records.

The culprit's records?

You didn't write about that in the report.

It's because

I received the records afterwards.

I can't even read my own report

because you deleted it.

Then you sound like you memorized it.

Wait. Was it someone else

on your team that deleted it?

Eojin didn't even get a chance to read it.

I wasn't asking if Song Eojin did.

I should've checked

the rope first yesterday.

Darn it.

Get down from there.

She disappears into thin air.

DNA or fingerprints

Would those be of any help?

Get down. Now.

Do you think

she's really an accomplice?

You know her, don't you?

The woman I saw. You know her, don't you?

No.

This is easy for you, isn't it?

"Because you can just disappear

Like you did before."

You said this to me earlier,

mistaking me for her.

She disappeared into thin air before

like this time,

and you saw it, didn't you?

No.

RUSTIC HANDMADE KALGUKSU

Hello.

-Oh, welcome.

-Hi.

Have a seat.

Yes.

Ma'am, your kimchi is so delicious.

Eat as much as you want.

I made a lot, and there's a lot left.

What can I get you?

One sujebi, please.

This kimchi is so delicious.

Why is there a lot left?

Well, something not good happened

in this area yesterday, so Goodness.

Oh, because the news said

the culprit was living

on the second floor of this building?

But customers don't come

for such a reason?

I guess people are scared.

Aren't you scared, ma'am?

You must know his face.

Of course, I do.

You never know

what a person is really like, you know.

Were you and the suspect close?

What? I barely knew him.

He just came from time to time and

I should've just stayed quiet.

Goodness. Me and my big mouth.

Why is it so hot

even with the AC on? Jeez.

I hope the new tenant on the second floor

will be a company

whose employees have lunch here.

I happened to say that

the dental clinic upstairs was shut down.

-When was that?

-By any chance

Here you go.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

When was that?

I think it was a couple of months ago.

Goodness gracious. Who would've known

that he'd go live there?

Goodness.

By any chance,

have you ever seen him with a woman?

What woman?

Well, I just saw him

come and go a few times.

And every time, he was alone.

What's wrong? Does it taste bad?

No. It's delicious.

But it tastes like the one I had long ago.

Well, most old people make it

in a similar way.

Come to think of it,

the news said some woman helped him

when he was fleeing from here.

Was there was such news?

Who could it have been?

By the way, did he really k*ll a person?

It's true that Kim Manok committed m*rder.

If you remember more about him

or happen to see him near here,

make sure to call me.

He's a dangerous person, so be careful.

Okay.

And your kimchi is really the best.

Oh, thank you.

-It was delicious.

-Bye. Thank you.

-Come again.

-Sure.

-Oh, wait. Your change

-Later.

Oh, I really enjoyed the food too.

Can I also have your business card?

If you gave me yours first, we'd be

exchanging cards, nicely and naturally.

I thought you knew

we don't have business cards.

Is it still

like that over there?

So you do know.

From what I remember,

Eojin used to work

in a department that handles the Grid.

Why is he looking for people now?

Because he transferred.

I'm asking why he transferred.

Well though it's none of my business.

If so, why don't you ask him yourself?

That's never going to happen.

That uniform's a new CIRAS model.

Is it a custom one?

There's no mark on it at all.

So what is it?

What do you mean?

The Special Investigation Bureau will take

the convenience store m*rder case.

-And we're

-We're excluded?

But our bureau found her.

Yes, finding people is our job.

And that's where our bureau's job ends.

So are we supposed to just click

on a mouse at our desks as always?

I can put up with other teams

looking down on us.

But the one

we've been looking for every day

The one we started to call the Ghost

because we weren't even sure

if she really existed.

We've finally found her.

But we're excluded?

It was so hard to find her, so

we should leave it to experts from here.

Mr. Song Eojin. Have you ever

carried out an investigation?

No, because you never let me.

You were hired to click on a mouse

to search the web at your desk.

As an office worker.

Not to act like a police officer.

Then why did you share all that with us?

Share what?

You knew that we'd be excluded

and that another team would take it.

You knew it before they told you.

If we were going to take it,

we would've been busy since yesterday,

on a stakeout or investigating.

-But even yesterday, we

-Got off work on time.

-Yes.

-You'll continue to do so.

Don't worry.

As you said,

we've never investigated a case.

And I'm not saying we should lead

the investigation team alone.

But if you really think of us

as your team members,

I think you should tell us

what this is all about,

how you recognized the Ghost

just by looking at the composite sketch,

and what exactly our job is.

We're not search engines, but your people.

The Ghost is somewhere out there

right now.

She might disappear again any moment.

If you have time for this,

go find more traces of her.

Dig up the m*rder*r's past.

Find out why the Ghost is helping him

and if there's any connection

between them.

His house, hometown, and school.

We need to go to all those places.

We have a lot of work to do.

Get back to work.

-Ma'am.

-What?

Shall I go? To the places you just said?

Why don't you go with her?

I will stay here.

Jongyi. You're having fun

at work, aren't you?

Like watching a wildfire, right?

Not only that.

I watch fights happening too.

I apologize.

I was overzealous

and disrespectful to you.

It's fine.

Let's go.

What the hell is he doing?

I'll make sure it won't happen again.

Get your hands off.

I'm sorry.

I should be embarrassed, right?

I wasn't supposed to see you

kissing up to her, right?

I'll be back sometime after one.

-Oh, we're also

-See you, ma'am.

Why would you want to go out with her?

Let's go now.
