01x04 - Who Are You?

[bunniefuu]

THIS DRAMA IS FICTION

THE CHARACTERS, BUSINESSES, LOCATIONS,

RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS AREN'T REAL

COVID-19 MEASURES WERE FOLLOWED,

AND CHILD ACTORS WERE COUNSELED

COMPUTER GRAPHICS WERE USED

IN MOST SCENES WITH ANIMALS

Officer Jung is number one

on my speed dial.

That scared me.

MOUSE

Sometimes, I hunt spontaneously.

This unfortunate old lady

saw something she shouldn't have

and ended up becoming my prey.

Prey should desperately fight back

until they draw their last breath.

But this prey doesn't seem to have

the energy to do so.

Which makes this hunt

boring and insignificant.

Poor baby.

My poor baby.

BONG-YI

Did you find anything?

EPISODE 4

Not yet.

Sung Yo-han said he was with this friend

when Dr. Lee went missing.

-Go talk to him.

-Okay.

That Sung Yo-han is shady.

Kim Jun-seong.

Did you find anything?

No, it's clean.

Damn it. If only we'd found it

before it started to rain.

And the finger that was in the wine?

It is Na Chi-guk's finger.

What about the other finger?

Yes, sir?

Is that so?

-I'll be right there.

-What is it?

I think we know

who the other finger belongs to.

Thanks.

-Did you bring your car?

-Yes.

Come with me.

Apparently, this was a clothing factory

owned by a religious group

until two years ago.

Oh, my.

What are you doing here?

What happened?

They say he's been dead

for about ten days.

He was missing for ten days,

but no one looked for him.

What a cruel world.

There's something in his throat.

What is that?

I don't know. It's too decomposed.

There's been a homicide.

I SAW THE GUY WHO k*lled THE GIRL ON TV.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

All right. Give me a call

as soon as Officer Jung wakes up.

I hope he's okay.

Hold up.

What is it?

There's a girl over there.

Are you okay? Do you need any help?

Can you give me a ride

to the other side of this bridge?

Sure. Hop in.

You're going to catch a cold.

Thank you.

I just bought this car last week.

It isn't good

for leather seats to get wet.

Hey, you jerk.

Why were you sitting there in the rain?

My grandma wasn't answering her phone.

So you were sitting there

in the rain like that?

You're not a little kid.

Please drop me off here.

Here?

Wait. I should have

an umbrella in the trunk.

Oh, thank you for this.

Take this with you.

Be safe.

Hurry on home.

So this is where she lives.

What? You know her?

Let's go already.

Oh, no.

That was 1 of the 100

limited-edition umbrellas.

I should've asked for it back.

Your parents had you

after ten years of trying, right?

I bet they were ecstatic,

not realizing you'd be

such a materialistic moron.

Anyway, I wonder who was k*lled this time.

Why won't she answer her phone?

Is she mad at me?

Oh, Ma'am.

Did something happen around here?

We don't know.

We came out because we heard the siren.

This many police cars means

that it's a homicide.

You've been watching too many weird films

since giving up on the exam.

Don't be like that.

Your son's going to be the next Hitchcock.

I want to get a closer look.

I'll be back later. Bye, Bong-yi.

To think I ever rejoiced

after giving birth to a son like him.

Wait. Have you seen my grandma?

No, I haven't.

Come to think of it,

it's strange she isn't out here.

She must be checking out the scene.

She always goes to watch

whenever anything happens.

-I'll get going, then.

-Yes, go ahead.

Now he's even k*lling the elderly?

CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION

She suffered a burn on her hand.

She must've tried

to put out the fire with her hand.

Why did you hold onto this

with your final breath?

My poor baby.

She'll be okay.

Sir.

It's all my fault.

Please take me and save my little baby.

What is he doing here this time?

This is bullshit.

What? What did you just say?

Are you

What's wrong, Detective Ko?

Did you know the victim?

Why must poor, innocent people die?

What's wrong with him?

What's going on here?

What the

It's you.

Don't go in there.

Why not?

You see

Let's talk.

Let go of me.

Bong-yi, wait.

Let go of me. Let go!

Let go.

Let go of me.

I feel so bad for her.

Wait. That's

Let her go. Let her identify the body.

Come this way.

-Hold it!

-Yes, sir.

You want her to see

her grandmother like this?

-But we must identify

-Move aside.

Grandma.

Why is she like that?

Sir.

-Get going.

-What is my grandma like that?

-Get going now.

-Sir.

Hold on, Bong-yi. Move it!

-Grandma!

-Calm down.

-Leave now.

-Grandma!

-Let go of me.

-Bong-yi.

Why is she like that?

Grandma.

Where is he?

What happened?

He needs to rest.

-Get lost.

-Please leave.

What happened?

It's because of me.

If I had only answered her call

Get a grip. Look at me.

Look at me!

Tell me everything you saw.

That's the only way

we can catch him, okay?

So

While you and I were

at the detention center,

she kept calling me.

I didn't know until I got to the station.

7 MISSED CALLS

The person you've dialed

I saw the guy who k*lled the girl on TV.

What should I do?

VOICEMAIL

Here is the message.

Why won't you answer your phone?

Oh, my.

I'm too scared to even call the police.

I'm on the bus.

Meet me by Chub's Convenience Store.

-I brought the picture.

-Ma'am!

But the store was closed.

Ma'am.

So I called her.

The area is vacant

as it's undergoing redevelopment.

Ma'am.

I heard her phone ring nearby.

I thought it was strange.

Are you here?

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Did you see his face?

Who are you?

No. It was too dark,

and everything happened too fast.

Anything else? Tell me everything.

Tell me anything that could be a clue!

-Oh, he was left-handed.

-Left-handed?

Then it's definitely him, right?

You said the culprit was left-handed.

The culprit is left-handed.

The knife is pointing

in the one o'clock direction,

which would only be possible

if they used their left hand.

He is definitely left-handed.

What else?

Anything else?

When we were on the ground,

I smelled something.

What?

What did you smell?

Mint. I smelled mint.

What are you doing here unannounced?

I thought I'd stop by on my way back

from a nearby flower exhibition.

The cleaning lady must be really good.

There isn't a single speck of dust.

Stop sending one over.

I don't like having strangers in my home.

You haven't eaten yet, right?

Try not to skip a meal.

I put your dirty clothes in the washer.

I take it you treated

another emergency patient today.

Why did you have to volunteer

to work in the ER of all departments?

You're always covered in blood.

That's a nice fragrance.

You don't normally use

products with fragrance.

Are you seeing someone?

Do you intend to marry her?

I would love to have a grandchild.

I'll help you raise them.

The mere thought of it is horrifying.

What?

Han Seo-jun the Third?

Yo-han.

Did you see the old lady today?

Did she act or say anything

out of the ordinary?

Earlier today,

she was upset because she'd argued

with her granddaughter.

She didn't say where she was going?

I think she said she was going back home.

That's not good enough.

Think long and hard!

Don't give me wishy-washy answers!

Why are you yelling at a patient?

I had to ask some questions

for the investigation.

If you don't mind,

we have to move the witness

to a private room for security.

Take care of yourself. I'll be back.

Around 8 p.m. this evening,

a woman in her 70s was

found stabbed multiple times

in a deserted house in Gudong Village,

a redevelopment area.

The police have concluded that it was done

by the serial k*ller

behind other recent homicides.

Another suspected victim

of the same k*ller

was found ten days after their death

in an abandoned factory

that used to be owned

by a religious group.

This brings the total number

of victims up to six.

You don't deserve to live.

You monster.

I shouldn't have had you.

I never should've had you.

How can I make up for these sins?

The police officer

who was hit by a car

while chasing the m*rder*r

is receiving treatment in a hospital.

I'm sorry, Auntie and Uncle.

You had to insist on becoming a cop,

which never suited you.

I will stay here for the night, honey.

Go ahead.

Dong-gu said he would stay here overnight.

I'll be fine. Go home.

Okay. I'll be back early tomorrow morning.

What should I make today?

Was he hurt?

He's not the type

to put on a cute bandage.

NO VISITORS

Calm down. You can't go inside.

-Move.

-You can't go in there.

Move!

-Hey.

-Let go!

Let go.

You moron.

How can you call yourself a cop?

-You need to leave.

-Let go of me!

Why?

Why didn't you answer her call?

Why didn't you answer your phone?

She died because of you.

Because of you, she Let go of me.

Find him.

Find the scumbag that k*lled my grandma.

Bring her back. Please

Please.

My grandma

Bring back my grandma.

Bring her back!

Grandma

The nightmare of the Headhunter,

which shook the nation 25 years ago,

is happening again.

During the past 2 months,

there have been a series of 6 murders,

but the police are no closer

to catching the k*ller,

making the public lose trust

and fall into panic.

This looks familiar.

I saw something flash over here

on my way to church at dawn.

Something that flashes

A camera flash.

That perverted psychopath.

He took pictures

after k*lling his victims?

Where did the old lady

get this picture from?

No security cameras?

This area has been

under redevelopment for so long

that everyone has moved away.

Only a few people still live here.

Then, check the dashcams

of cars parked nearby.

Check every footage

with the old lady in it.

None of the residents

who are still here own a car.

It's practically a ghost town,

so we don't get a lot of visitors either.

Right there. That's her.

Where did she get on?

That's right.

Check all the security footage

at the subway and bus stops

near Gudong Station.

There'll be something.

Hey, Officer Jung.

Detective Ko.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for the guy

who k*lled the old lady.

I take it you checked

with the bus company, too?

Look at yourself. Go back to the hospital.

I have to find him.

Maybe that camera caught it.

I'll go check.

Hey. Officer Jung!

Where do you think she went?

I know it's an old area,

but how could there not be

a single security camera?

I'll look around.

Go back to the hospital now.

She died because of me.

I'm going to catch him.

I'm with the police.

Is there a security camera nearby?

Have you seen

No, I haven't seen her.

Excuse me. I'm a police officer.

I'm not sure.

Hello.

-I'm with the police.

-I don't know.

HOUSEKEEPING AGENCY

Hello.

I'm with the police.

Yes, hello.

Did this old lady come by

yesterday afternoon?

What is this about?

You know there was

a homicide here last night, right?

Yes.

Oh, dear. Was she the victim?

We checked the security camera,

and she was seen walking into this alley.

She didn't come in here.

If anyone who comes by here

says they've seen her,

please ask them to call the police.

It's not like I can report her

for stealing our yogurt.

Excuse me.

Who was that?

Remember the news

about the homicide last night?

They were asking if the victim

had come by here.

Is that so?

I see.

This old lady

-This is her?

-Yes. Why?

She's the one who took all our yogurt.

I should call it in. Oh, my goodness.

Have you gone mad?

What if they find out about us

hiring ill*gal immigrants?

Damn it. Don't do anything.

Don't get us in trouble.

But a person is dead.

Be quiet.

Do you want our office to be shut down?

Okay, fine.

Get in. I'll drive you to the hospital.

What is it?

It's nothing.

I know it's dirty. Just get in.

Okay.

I hope you're not overexerting yourself

with an injured leg and all.

Thank you for coming.

She wanted him to be

her grandson-in-law so badly.

He's living up to the standard.

He took care of everything

related to the funeral,

even though he's injured.

I feel so bad for Bong-yi.

I don't think she has a single relative.

We've already searched

the area thoroughly,

but we might've missed something.

Team One, search the offices

in this building again.

Team Two, search every area

connected to this alley.

Team Three, search the end of this alley

and the buildings across from it.

-Yes, sir!

-Yes, sir!

Let's take a look at that one again.

Okay.

I heard you paid for her burial.

It must've been expensive.

I could've cremated her.

I scattered my parents' ashes at sea,

so I don't have a place to go to

when I want to cry.

You're saying

you were afraid

I wouldn't have a place to go

when I miss my grandma?

She didn't drink.

That's not true.

She used to love drinking makgeolli.

I

The last thing

I said to her was something

that I never

should have said to her.

I became like this

because I've been too good.

What did you say?

If I hadn't been a good girl,

I wouldn't have gone out

to buy makgeolli that day.

Then that wouldn't have happened

Grandma

It really

kills me to think about it.

Grandma.

Grandma, I

I am sorry.

I am so sorry.

I

Please forgive me.

I

I am so sorry.

Don't worry.

I asked Dong-gu to feed him every day.

Get some sleep.

Don't think about anything else.

Get some sleep.

Does it make you happy

to eat boiled pork all by yourself?

You don't think I like boiled pork, too?

What would you like for dinner?

-I don't want anything.

-What do you mean?

Tell me what you want to eat.

Would you like boiled pork?

I don't want anything.

Bong-yi. It's gone bad.

Bong-yi, what are you doing?

I told you it's gone bad.

What are you doing?

Stop eating that, Bong-yi.

No, don't eat it.

Let it go.

Oh, my.

My poor baby.

My poor child.

Grandma.

Grandma.

My grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma, don't worry about me.

I have someone looking after me.

There's no one.

Hey.

Did you find anything?

No, not yet.

I even sent you backup.

What?

You sent backup

to someone who's been suspended?

Be quiet.

Did you check the visitor log

at the detention center?

I did. I checked the entire list,

including the guards and visitors,

but there wasn't anyone suspicious.

Are you sure?

Did you check every single one?

You didn't miss anyone?

If you don't trust me, check it yourself!

I asked if you missed anyone!

What is wrong with you two?

You two used to be inseparable.

Hey.

What? The security camera?

She was captured on it?

Send it over now.

Have you got a lead?

SECURITY FOOTAGE

GETTING ON AND OFF BUS

I'm with the police.

Have you seen this old lady?

No, I haven't.

Excuse me. I'm a police officer.

Have you seen this old lady?

No, I haven't.

Hey, Yo-han.

The police are here. What should I do?

Just say what I told you to say.

You're Mr. Kim Jun-seong, right?

I have a few questions to ask you.

Do you know Dr. Sung Yo-han?

Yes, he's a friend of mine.

Where were you between last Sunday night

and the following morning?

Last Sunday night

Yo-han wasn't feeling well,

so I went over to his place.

Yo-han wasn't feeling well

Where's my cell phone?

I must've left it in my car again.

May I borrow your phone real quick?

Sure.

Thank you.

Wow. This is the new model.

I've heard great things about it.

CALLS

YO-HAN

Did he leave?

You said what I told you to, right?

He's not answering.

Is it because it's a new model?

The quality of the sound is impressive.

I'll call you again

if I have more questions.

Sure.

Hey, Yo-han.

No, I didn't call you.

Detective Ko, I think you're right.

That Sung Yo-han is shady.

What should we do?

Whatever's necessary.

Get the dashcam from Sung Yo-han's car

and find out where he was at that hour.

That's ill*gal.

If I get caught, it could derail

my father's career as a politician.

He's planning to run

for president next year.

Is that so?

I don't have a father,

so you're wasting your breath on me.

I'll hang up now.

I'm busy running an ill*gal investigation.

This is the police.

Have you seen this lady?

I'm with the police.

Have you seen this old lady?

-I'm a police officer.

-Yes?

Have you seen this old lady?

I'm not sure.

-What is it?

-Where are you? Get back here.

I'm busy.

Come back right now.

Jeez.

What does he want?

I don't even have time to eat.

He's always ordering me around.

What? Why would I do that?

The m*rder*r's started

a game of cat and mouse with you,

so everyone's attention is on you.

The entire nation has their eyes on you.

I thought I was off the case.

I've been suspended.

You should be the one

to do the press release, not me.

You're being unfair.

It was the commissioner's order.

I had no choice.

Do you want to be fired

for insubordination?

Jeez.

Why did you have to blabber

about the serial k*ller on TV

and make yourself his target?

You have plenty of time until 8 p.m.,

so stay here and get ready.

Don't go anywhere.

I haven't eaten anything.

I'll get you food.

Darn it.

Han-guk.

-Ma'am.

-Yes?

We'll go on one more ride

after a short break, okay?

Okay.

-Mom.

-What is it?

I want that Goat Man bread.

I'm hungry.

Just wait.

They are going to buy us

something to eat afterward.

Ma'am. Can you come here real quick?

Okay.

Wait here. Mommy will be right back.

GOAT MAN CREAM BREAD

Around 3 p.m. this afternoon,

Kim Han-guk, the boy who starred

on OBN's Hope to Children

and moved the public to tears,

went missing during a sh**t

at an amusement park.

Wake up, Ko Moo-chi.

Wake up, Moo-chi.

Here you go.

All you have to do is read this, okay?

The public sentiment is bad.

Whatever the reporters say,

don't lose your temper. Okay?

How long were you asleep?

Your hair is a mess.

It's going to be aired live,

so you can't make a mistake.

-Are you listening to me?

-Yes.

I'm hungry.

Eat this.

Fortunately, we have acquired

witness testimonies

and security camera footage

pertaining to the case of the last victim,

a woman in her 70s,

which is driving

the investigation forward.

Based on the fact

that other victims' belongings were left

by the k*ller at the m*rder scene

of the college student,

we have concluded these are serial murders

committed by the same person.

Taking the gravity

of these cases into consideration,

we are investigating

them from multiple angles,

from the k*ller's motives

and relationships with the victims

to the possibility of an accomplice.

Please understand

that I cannot provide any more details.

Please also note

that I will not be taking any questions.

We'll strive to secure the public's safety

by catching the m*rder*r

as soon as possible.

That is all.

There have been

6 innocent victims in 2 months.

What have you found so far?

Haven't you been too complacent?

We cannot answer questions

about an ongoing investigation.

We heard that the k*ller left

a message for you

at the m*rder scene

of the college student.

Why did he leave a message

specifically for you?

Why don't you ask the k*ller?

I'm dying to know the answer, too.

You said the killings were random.

Do you still stand by that comment?

You said there are 6 victims,

but aren't there 7?

According to a source, the serial k*ller

also tried to m*rder the prison guard.

That's classified.

How can you call it random

when they went to the detention center?

Are you sure there isn't

a link between the victims?

Is the investigation

even going in the right direction?

We've done a thorough investigation.

There wasn't a single link

among the victims.

Maybe among the victims

What is it?

Maybe they had criteria

when choosing the victims.

KUDOS!

KUDOS TO DETECTIVE KO

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Who are you?

You are good, Detective Ko.

You've been wrong before,

but I'm still impressed.

What?

That means

You're right. I have a certain criteria

when I choose my victims.

So why did I choose that boy?

What?

Why will he die? What did he do wrong?

You little

You like to be on TV, right?

What was the name of the show

where you called my killings "random"?

Find out why I'll k*ll the boy

and say it on that show.

Don't be drunk this time.

Take it seriously.

A person's life is at stake.

What, you psycho scumbag?

If you don't get it right,

I'll k*ll the boy

in front of the entire nation

as soon as the show ends.

-I promise you that.

-Hello?

-Who was that?

-Who is the "psycho"?

-Who were you talking to?

-Please tell us.

Was that the k*ller?

Did you talk to the k*ller?

You're right. I have a certain criteria

when I choose my victims.

So why did I choose that boy?

Why will he die? What did he do wrong?

Who's that b*stard

going to k*ll this time?

What's going on here?

Serial murders and kidnapping

Goodness.

He came to Korea to find his father.

When his story went public,

he received a flood of warm support.

No leads were found at the scene.

Could it be?

So why did I choose that boy?

Why will he die? What did he do wrong?

The kidnapper called Han-guk's mother

and asked for life-saving money.

This is a typical kidnapping

motivated by financial greed.

"Life-saving money"?

Don't we usually call it "ransom"?

Yes, but the kidnapper

specifically used the term "life-saving."

How much did he want?

He hasn't told me the exact amount yet.

You recorded the call, right?

Have the life-saving money prepared

by Friday 11 p.m. sharp.

If you don't do as I say,

Han-guk will die.

Friday 11 p.m. sharp.

You like to be on TV, right?

What was the name of the show

where you called my killings "random"?

As soon as the show ends.

-Friday 11 p.m.

-By Friday 11 p.m. sharp.

That's when Sherlock Hong-ju ends.

Will airing the show as he demands

aid the investigation?

At this point,

our priority is to save the boy's life.

Do we even know if the boy's still alive?

He is definitely alive.

The boy has to be alive

for the k*ller to show off his existence.

"Bind, t*rture, k*ll."

The m*rder*r

who identified himself as BTK,

for binding, torturing

and k*lling his victims,

k*lled at least 10 people

in the span of 30 years,

starting with a family of four in 1974.

He also sent letters

and the victims' belongings

to a broadcasting company

as if to mock the police.

As you can see,

psychopathic serial K*llers

like to brag about the cruelty

of their murders

and show themselves off.

They take pleasure in bragging.

We must air the show

in order to catch him.

BTK, a civil servant

who kept his identity a secret,

was finally caught after 30 years

because of the letter

he sent to the press.

He left his DNA on the letter.

He left his DNA?

It wasn't on purpose.

He was so full of himself

that he made a fatal mistake.

That's right.

When I was working on my last piece,

Dr. Daniel Lee told me

that psychopaths like that

usually get so c*ck

that they make ridiculous mistakes.

Yes, that's how Han Seo-jun

was caught 25 years ago.

He k*lled 20 people in 1 year

and didn't leave a single trace or witness

until he mistook a family of four

for a family of three.

He got caught

because he failed to k*ll

the youngest boy.

He was so full of himself

that he made a fatal mistake.

Next slide, please.

KUDOS TO DETECTIVE KO

I HOPE YOU LIKE MY GIF

His desire to show off

is at its peak right now.

If I take this to the stage

as he requested,

he will most likely walk into our trap

and make a fatal mistake.

He dreams of a theatrical crime.

We will run a theatrical investigation.

If we take to the stage,

we may learn new information

about the k*ller as well.

Doing this show

will help our investigation.

So, can you find the answer?

You only have four days left.

I will find out no matter what.

The public will protest

if you grant the k*ller's request.

That is why we must keep this classified.

Please trust me on this, Commissioner.

Director.

All right. Let's do it.

The commissioner and the director?

And Detective Kang?

-What's going on?

-What do you mean?

Come on. Don't play dumb.

Why did the director of OBN come here?

The commissioner, too.

They both looked very serious.

Do I look like your personal spy?

If you're curious, find out yourself!

Jeez. Come on, Detective Kang.

RECORDING FILE

COME CHECK THE FINAL EDI

RECORDING FILE

There are a total of seven victims.

Song Su-h* was k*lled out of rage,

so he is excluded.

We think the old woman

in Gudong was k*lled

for taking a photo that could expose him.

So she's excluded.

I said that the remaining

five victims were k*lled randomly,

but I was wrong.

We must find out why he chose these people

before the show airs.

Talk to the bereaved families

and their friends again.

If we look into the victims,

we'll find the link.

How long have you known Na Chi-guk?

We've been friends since high school.

Then you must know him well.

Tell me about Na Chi-guk.

Anything is fine. Whatever comes to mind.

Why do you ask?

Will this help you catch who did it?

Well, that's

Ba-reum.

Detective Ko, you need to see the news.

Here's the recording of the call

between Detective Ko Moo-chi

and the m*rder*r,

attained exclusively by SBC.

This recording has not been edited.

Why will he die? What did he do wrong?

You like to be on TV, right?

What was the name of the show

where you called my killings "random"?

Find out why I'll k*ll the boy

and say it on that show.

Don't be drunk this time.

Take it seriously.

Damn it.

What's shocking is

that it doesn't stop here.

We received a tip

that the Special Investigation

on the Moojin serial m*rder case is

secretly preparing to air the show.

Is it really the best thing for the police

to give in to the k*ller's demands

and do the broadcast?

It is up to you to decide.

Is it true?

Are you preparing to go on air?

Is it true the police are

working with a m*rder*r?

-Please say something.

-Detective!

-Detective Ko!

-Please give us a word!

Ko Moo-chi.

Do you remember me?

Did you see his face?

Tell me! Did you see his face?

I don't.

Don't go on the air.

Lieutenant Park Du-seok.

Why do you think I continue to do

this dirty detective work?

Han Seo-jun.

I'm going to k*ll him myself.

He k*lled my mother and father.

He k*lled your children.

To get to him,

I need to k*ll a psychopath like him

so that I can get locked up.

Even if the whole world is against me,

you shouldn't be.

Do you know

why Han Seo-jun k*lled my children?

I didn't know what kind of a man he was

and took jabs at him on television.

Don't make the same mistake.

This k*ller

isn't human.

He's a monster.

He may be even worse than Han Seo-jun.

Okay. That's good.

That's the kind of opponent

worth fighting against.

Don't you understand?

You may lose what is most valuable to you.

Valuable to me?

I lost everything when I was eight.

You were there.

I have nothing more to lose.

The k*ller cast his bait,

and the police fell for it.

Even if a kidnapper takes a hostage

and asks for money,

the police should not succumb.

So the k*ller took a kid hostage

and asked the police

to broadcast his reason

for k*lling people on air.

The police must not

let themselves be manipulated.

But we don't have a choice at this point.

He's demanding it to be aired.

Are we certain

the police will get it right?

What if they give the wrong answer?

Wouldn't the kid be in more danger?

What's more important than saving a life?

We must find the right answer

and save the kid first.

Listening to a psychopathic k*ller

and throwing out answers on air

like some kind of game

Is that the best solution the government

can come up with to save a child?

Don't go on air.

-Stop the show!

-Stop the show!

The commissioner has ordered us to stop.

But

As you already know,

the public isn't on our side.

If we go ahead with it and the kid dies,

we won't have a way out.

I know how you feel.

Let's find another way.

You think your best option is to quit?

Do you know what I did to cover for you?

The team will find another way

You've come a long way. Come in.

What are you doing?

The show is going to be canceled.

Detective Ko.

What are you doing here?

Han-guk's mother.

Sir.

Please do the show.

Please save my baby.

I'll do anything.

I'll do anything. Please

-Did you guys bring her here?

-I'm begging you

I feel the same way.

Please don't give up.

We have to catch the guy who hurt Chi-guk

and Bong-yi's grandmother.

Get her out of here.

Please, sir.

-Ma'am.

Careful.

It's okay.

GOOD CITIZEN AWARD

-Don't you remember me?

-What?

I interviewed you.

What's going on?

My first interview as a rookie

was about a high school student

who had received a Good Citizen Award.

I guess that was you, Officer Jung.

He refused to do the interview at first,

saying it was all his friends doing.

That's all he said during the interview.

That wasn't me. It was Chi-guk.

What? That kid was Guard Na Chi-guk?

I watched the interview, too.

He gave me credit for everything.

He's like that.

He's too humble.

That's right.

Right. The person we saved that time

I saw her by chance the other day.

-Where?

-Well

We've lost two days already.

We only have a day left.

Let's hurry. Get a move on.

Here.

MOOJIN SERIAL m*rder CASE

They were of different regions and ages.

What did they have in common?

Why did he choose to k*ll these people?

What is it?

Inspector Park. It's me.

Did you find out what it was

we found in Park Jong-h*'s throat?

An insect?

Father.

-Are you well?

-Yes.

The neighborhood has been

so quiet since you left.

How's the new cathedral?

The building is nice, right?

I still miss Gudong very much.

I'll be back next week to move my stuff.

I'll see you again then.

What are these?

I brought some food, including japchae.

It's for all of you.

Why did you make so much japchae?

Moo-chi loved japchae as a kid,

so I brought a lot for him.

I didn't put in carrots

because Moo-chi hates them.

Don't tell Moo-chi that I made it.

He won't eat it.

Okay.

Officer Jung.

Yes?

Please take good care of Moo-chi.

We have nothing on Byeon Sun-yeong.

An insect was in Park Jong-h*'s throat.

Na Chi-guk was found undressed.

Homeless Mr. Kim was found

with a hand axe, the m*rder weapon.

Jo Mi-jeong was found

in a vinyl greenhouse.

Did you make this, Officer Jung?

Yes.

-It's so good.

-It's good.

Thank you.

You don't seem cut out to be a cop.

Why don't you quit and become a chef?

I'll think about it.

You're all done, right?

We won't find the answers here.

Let's meet the victims' acquaintances.

Will you be okay?

Of course.

I told you to stay home.

I'm fine.

I'm Detective Ko Moo-chi.

I called earlier.

Byeon Sun-yeong, early 30s.

She worked in a pub kitchen.

Park Jong-h*, mid 20s.

He was a temporary subcontractor.

Do you know him?

Mr. Kim was presumed

to have been in his 50s.

He was homeless,

so his identity is unknown.

Jo Mi-jeong, a college student

in her early 20s.

She was a mukbang YouTuber.

Na Chi-guk, mid 20s.

He was a prison guard

at Moojin Detention Center.

He is the only survivor

and is unconscious.

This isn't it.

The point wasn't to find the link

among these victims.

I need to find out

why he chose these victims.

I must think from his point of view.

His point of view

Let's think of why he chose these victims.

All right, we have five seconds.

Three, two, one.

Action.

PLEASE FIX YOUR LEFT COLLAR

I'm Producer Choi Hong-ju

of Sherlock Hong-ju.

We were planning to air

our story on the reality of diet pills,

as shown in the previews last week.

But we'll be airing

a special live show today instead.

I'm sure you're all aware

of the serial k*ller's call

that shook the nation.

He requested this show to be aired

by using a boy's life as collateral.

Many people opposed,

and we were going to cancel the show.

But Han-guk's mother

desperately pleaded for us to do it,

and we couldn't ignore her request.

That is why we've decided

to play the k*ller's game.

Here is Detective Ko Moo-chi,

whom the k*ller specifically asked for.

DO NOT CROSS

He's been dead for several days.

The 28th

Wait. 8:10 p.m. on the 28th?

That's when Detective Ko

did the press release.

So he k*lled Kim Jun-seong

and he called Detective Ko from here?

Let me ask you, Detective Ko Moo-chi.

Did you find the answer?

Can you save Han-guk?

I'll ask again.

Did you find the answer?

Yes, I did.

Then why did the k*ller

choose these victims?

I'd like to confirm something

before I answer that.

You're watching this, right?

You wanted me to figure out

why you chose these victims.

If you want to hear my answer,

call me and prove to me

that it was really you who called

and that Han-guk is still alive.

That's only fair, right?

You know my number, right?

Then I will go ahead and tell you

why you chose to k*ll those people.

MOUSE

The only reason I'm doing this

is to save Han-guk.

This broadcast is the only way

to save the boy.

What we presume to be sent by the k*ller

has arrived at the studio.

I advise minors and feeble-minded people

against watching this.

Na Chi-guk.

Na Chi-guk. It's not him.

I got it. The common factor.

Stop messing around and show yourself.

You're not God or even a human being.

You're a monster that can never be saved.

Someone said they saw Han-guk.

Let go of me.

Turn it off, you crazy jerk.

It's a shame you don't trust me.

Do you believe me now?
