01x13 - DNA on the Weapon

[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

Besides, you're far too along

to get an ab*rtion.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Give birth to a m*rder*r?

This is probably for the better.

Please k*ll me.

k*ll me now.

You crazy b*tch.

If that's your wish, I will k*ll you.

Why did you save me?

You should've let me die.

You should've let us die.

Why?

Give birth to that child.

Why did you save me?

You should've let me

and the baby die together. Why?

-There was another m*rder in Suseong.

-It's Suseong again.

Ten serial murders occurred

in the past two years.

The serial m*rder*r of Suseong

has finally been arrested.

Mr. Kim, who worked at Sobong Steel Mill,

turned himself in.

Mr. Kim, the culprit

of the Suseong serial m*rder case

has been sentenced to life.

SERIAL r*pist AND m*rder*r

KIM BONG-CHEOL

WORKED AT SOBONG STEEL MILL

THAT HAS THE MOST CADMIUM EMISSION

You never asked why Bong-yi was released.

Detective Shin found the m*rder weapon.

Right here.

Not Bong-yi's knife,

but the real m*rder weapon.

The one that cut off

Kang Deok-su's private part.

That's why Bong-yi's name was cleared.

-Yu-na?

-Yes.

He thinks Yu-na saw something.

What did she see?

She couldn't have seen my face.

I can't let Bong-yi talk to Yu-na.

What is it?

We sent over the evidence already.

The outfit that Bong-yi was wearing

when she got to the hospital is

different from the one

in the footage from Ms. Choi's car.

Ms. Oh Bong-yi.

Please come with us to the station.

What did you see?

It was you, right?

Is Bong-yi still not talking?

No, she won't say anything.

That will only make things worse for her.

We can't conclude

that Bong-yi's knife is the m*rder weapon.

Shouldn't we look into it further?

We searched everywhere

near the river but found nothing.

The current was strong

because it rained heavily that night.

If something was swept away,

it would've been pushed to the riverside

due to the centrifugal force

and got caught somewhere down the river.

I found it.

That was caught here?

The heaven's on our side.

We found Kang Deok-su's DNA

and someone else's on the m*rder weapon.

What?

The result is something

I just can't comprehend.

I'm not sure what to think.

It's the DNA of someone in prison.

What? What do you mean?

The DNA found on the knife

that k*lled Kang Deok-su

belongs to a man

who is currently behind bars.

Currently behind bars

How could the DNA

of a prisoner be found here?

That's why I'm confused.

It was probably planted here purposely.

Purposely?

By the k*ller? Why?

It's obvious.

He's trying to mock us.

Planting the DNA of someone in prison

whose alibi can certainly be proven means

he's mocking the cops,

thinking that we will

never be able to catch him.

Do you really think that's the reason?

Why do you cherish that bill so much?

It's nothing.

Bong-yi.

It's over now. Just have happy dreams.

So what is your dream?

My dream?

I've never had the luxury

of having a dream.

Then you can start now.

Find a dream that excites you

and makes your heart race.

Was it always your dream

to become a producer?

No.

Someone else's dream became mine.

Right. Why don't you join our team?

Me?

I never went to college.

I didn't even finish high school.

Your educational background is irrelevant.

No, how could I possibly do that?

I can't.

Think about it and give me a call.

Okay.

OBN PD CHOI HONG-JU

Why isn't Yu-na back yet?

Did she go to the police?

No, she mustn't.

The phone is turned off

Here you are.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

I really have to talk to Yu-na.

But Yu-na isn't here.

She moved away.

She moved?

She wanted me to show this to you.

Bong-yi. I'm sorry for leaving

without saying goodbye.

It was you, right?

I saw this when you locked the door.

Thank you.

I wouldn't be here today

if it weren't for you.

I would be dead.

I will keep it a secret

until the day I die.

I won't tell Mom or Bong-yi.

Pinky swear.

I'm going to forget everything.

Just like this!

Thank you so much.

I went to see you,

but the police officer told me

that I couldn't see you.

Give me your phone for a second.

Bong-yi.

I'm sorry I'm leaving

without saying goodbye.

We're moving back to our old neighborhood.

Mom, I love my room.

You do?

Yu-na, help me with this.

Mom promised me

she wouldn't drink ever again

and that she would seek treatment.

Once we settle in, I'll attend school.

I have a dream now.

When I grow up, I will become

someone like Oh Bong-yi.

When I grow up,

I'll become someone like you.

She will be my hero that is more awesome

than Goat Man or Ladybug forever.

-Goodbye, Bong-yi.

-Bye.

I'm not anyone special.

I'll become an adult

that Yu-na can look up to.

You call this trash a project proposal?

Is your head screwed on right?

You're a rookie, so work hard like one!

I'm sorry. I really did my best.

I'm sorry.

As soon as you walk in, there is a desk.

That's mine.

It stinks because it's next to a bathroom.

No one wants that desk,

so it ended up being the newcomer's.

But I love my desk.

Why?

So what if it smells?

I'm just happy that there's a spot

for me at a broadcasting station.

You love your job that much?

Of course. It has always been my dream.

To become a producer who tells the truth,

is just, and makes a fair world.

I guess I won't be

able to fulfill that dream now, right?

That's not true, Su-jeong.

We will get out of here alive.

Let's make it out of here alive.

Okay.

Hyeon-su, I'll promise you this.

No matter what happens

I will get you out of here alive.

I'm sorry, Su-jeong.

I wanted to fulfill your dream for you,

but I don't deserve to do that.

Hey, Ms. Oh.

I want to take that job.

I want to find my dream.

What's wrong?

I thought everything worked out well.

I almost k*lled that young girl.

But you didn't.

That's because she pinky swore

that she won't tell anyone.

That's just an excuse.

You couldn't k*ll her.

I couldn't k*ll her?

I was certain

that you wouldn't k*ll that girl.

If I'd thought you would k*ll her,

I would've tried to stop you somehow.

How?

How were you certain

that I wouldn't k*ll Yu-na?

In your brain,

Jung Ba-reum and Sung Yo-han

are still fighting.

The good instinct is suppressing

the predator's instinct right now.

I almost k*lled Hun-seok.

And the cat I'm taking care of

That's because it was the moment

the m*rder instinct was awakened,

and you lost control

because it was the first time.

But you relieved that urge

through Kang Deok-su.

It'll remain quiet for a while.

For a while

That means we never know

when it'll surface again.

By the way,

if you weren't trying to frame

Bong-yi for the m*rder,

why did you k*ll Kang Deok-su that way?

I wanted to seek revenge with the knife

that Bong-yi's grandma

planned to k*ll him with.

I went to the Evidence Team's

storage to get it

And I saw it.

"Anyone who takes the life

of a human being

is to be put to death."

"Fracture for fracture,

eye for eye, tooth for tooth."

When I read it,

I wanted to k*ll him that way.

I think Sung Yo-han made Song Su-h*

read the verse before he k*lled him.

I guess that verse got my attention

because of Sung Yo-han's influence.

What happened between

Sung Yo-han and Song Su-h*

that he sought such cruel revenge?

He beat Song Su-h* so hard

that the cartilages were worn down,

and he burned Song Su-h* alive.

Then he stabbed a knife

through Song Su-h*'s heart.

Did you talk to Lee Jae-sik?

Well

He must be in shock.

He is trembling and can't speak.

Well, his DNA was found

on Kang Deok-su's m*rder weapon.

-No wonder he's shocked.

-Does he suspect anyone?

He can barely speak.

But I found out that he was

Kang Deok-su's cellmate last year.

Attention, everyone.

Look into those who were recently

released among those

who were in contact with Lee Jae-sik.

And among those who shared a cell

with Kang Deok-su and Lee Jae-sik,

find out if any of them was

recently released.

-Yes, sir.

-Yes, sir.

Do it quickly.

Camera?

Detective Kang said that he would

return it to me today.

MOOJIN SERIAL m*rder CASE

What?

Why are they airing this?

I left it at the scene

when I helped Bong-yi.

The special investigation team wanted

to take a look but found nothing.

They said it'll be returned by today.

A car sped toward me

without its headlight on.

My bike rolled down

while I was trying to dodge the car.

Hey, Officer Jung.

Detective Ko.

Why are you video-calling me?

Take a look at this.

You always ride a bicycle.

Tell me what this is.

What is this?

What? Oh, that.

It's Jiyu Cam's new micro dashcam.

It's quite popular among cyclists

because it is so small.

But I don't think it was released yet.

So this is a dashcam for bicycles?

-Yes.

-Okay.

Whose is it?

A bicycle?

Could it be that bicycle?

If there was a dashcam on that bicycle,

I would be on it.

Hyeong-sik! Come out here.

What is it, Father?

He's asking me

what that thing is on the bicycle.

What?

Oh, you're the one who called

after seeing it on the Internet?

I'm a power blogger.

The company begged me

to try it out and review it.

It is automatically uploaded.

-It is excellent.

-Where is it now?

Hey, he's a detective.

Where is it?

It's parked inside. Come with me.

Please find it for me.

I bragged about it too much

on the Internet.

How did they know where I live?

Those thieves!

So you saw it on your bike

just an hour ago, right?

Yes, that's right.

-Someone took it?

-Show me what you uploaded on the website.

There you go.

REVIEW OF A MICRO DASHCAM

FOR BICYCLES PRE-RELEASE

Hey, anyone could tell this is your place.

Aren't the drawings awesome?

I'm a member of a graffiti club.

This is basically asking

thieves to steal it.

Is it okay for a cop to speak

casually to civilians?

If someone stole this,

even if the k*ller was caught on camera,

they wouldn't report it.

What brings you here?

I

I was curious.

-You're here.

-Hello.

-I have an interview. Would you join me?

-Can I?

Did you catch the thief

who stole the bicycle camera?

No. Damn, I knew it.

That thief isn't able to report

the k*ller because he's guilty.

Why did he steal that, of all things?

So what are you looking at?

Lee Jae-sik's case.

The one whose DNA was found

on the m*rder weapon.

He saw the man

who was about to r*pe his daughter

and beat him up to death.

He was sentenced to five years in prison.

Really?

Who would just watch a guy

r*pe his daughter and do nothing?

Stupid law.

You're right. He must feel wronged.

Oh, right. Lee Jae-sik

and Kang Deok-su were cell mates.

What?

He was at Anyang Prison with Kang Deok-su

and was transferred to Moojin

six months ago.

But what has that got to do

with finding Lee Jae-sik's DNA

on the m*rder weapon?

Kang Deok-su was released over a year ago.

You're right.

STATEMEN

He graduated from a fashion institute

and worked at a jean dye factory.

He was a hard worker.

And they sentenced him

to five years in prison?

I wonder why his DNA was planted.

I need to go talk to him myself.

Let me come with you.

Apply for a retrial.

That's only possible

if they find new evidence.

The statute of limitations has passed.

Why won't the real culprit come forward?

Then you would be released.

I'm okay now.

Don't be ridiculous.

Your daughter's getting married

in a few days.

You're upset that you can't be there.

Hey, 5253. You have a visitor.

Oh, right.

Someone from a broadcasting station

came to ask about Kang Deok-su.

I'll be right back.

I'm here to interview Mr. Lee Jae-sik.

-One moment, please.

-Sure.

Hey, Dong-gu.

Hey, Bong-yi. What are you doing here?

How have you been?

Producer Choi.

I'm the youngest scriptwriter

on the Sherlock Hong-ju team.

It's my first day.

Really? How?

Oh, Producer Choi got you in, right?

I think you're making a mistake.

All she knows is how to fight.

-Do you want to die?

-See?

A scriptwriter shouldn't use

such vulgar words.

You can't even fight back.

Do you want a beating?

You can't even fight.

-Are you here for an interview?

-Yes. With Mr. Lee Jae-sik.

-Is it about Kang Deok-su's case?

-Yes.

I have to go fill out something.

-Go ahead.

-Thanks.

Dong-gu. What is he in here for?

He doesn't look like someone

who would break the law.

You see, Suseong serial m*rder case

What?

-He's the k*ller?

-Hey.

Unbelievable. I just got goosebumps.

It's not that.

What a surprise.

-It's like The Usual Suspects.

-Hey.

How could he have such kind eyes?

It's time, Bong-yi. Let's go.

-Okay.

-Go ahead.

-I'll call you later.

-Okay.

Are you okay, Ms. Oh?

What's the matter?

-I'll carry that for you.

-Okay.

Let's go.

Mr. Lee Jae-sik's a diligent man.

He is an exemplary inmate

who's never caused a single problem.

He's been through a lot.

He will be released in a few days.

May we talk to him?

One moment, please.

He's in an interview.

An interview?

I was shocked.

How did my DNA end up there?

I see.

So you shared a cell with Kang Deok-su?

Yes, it was only for a brief time.

-Hey, Oh Bong-yi.

-Detective Ko.

-Bong-yi.

-Ba-reum.

-What are you doing here?

-You see, I started

Hey, get Bong-yi out of here.

-Why?

-Get out of here.

Bong-yi.

What is she doing here?

She's on my team now.

So you brought her

to a place full of criminals?

Let's talk later. I'm doing an interview.

Did you sew this yourself?

The one on your uniform.

Yes, I went to a fashion institute,

so I like making things like this.

Did you sew the one on

Kang Deok-su's clothes?

-I'm interviewing

-That's not important now!

Is it more important

than catching a m*rder*r?

You can't do this here.

Yes, I made that.

The patch on his clothes I made it.

I sewed on a patch with leftover fabric

on the clothes I bought,

and I guess he liked it.

He kept wanting it,

and the day he was released,

he took it from me.

He wanted to wear it on a special day.

A special day?

So that was the special day?

Kang Deok-su, you scumbag.

I'm glad you're dead.

I should've k*lled him, though!

Why was he so angry?

It's because he cares about you a lot.

He doesn't want you to see

the dark side of the world ever again.

I have a question for you.

What is it?

Detective Ko

Did you like him?

You see

So he kept the jacket

he took from Lee Jae-sik's

for a year to save it for a special day

and wore it that day?

That's why Lee Jae-sik's DNA

was intact for over a year.

The knife that k*lled Kang Deok-su

was wrapped in that jacket,

so that's why Lee Jae-sik's DNA

was found on the knife.

It's possible if the jacket

was stored well.

So there is no trace

of the guy who k*lled Kang Deok-su.

-We're back to square one.

-We just wasted time because of the DNA.

Damn it.

So you're a scriptwriter.

It's just manual labor.

If it's manual labor,

you'll win the Cheonsang Arts Award.

No, I should win the Oscars.

That sounds good too.

By the way, that man earlier

Did you see him get worried

when I fell down?

I only bled a little bit

from a shallow wound,

and it looked like he was about to cry.

You were hurt? When?

I'm fine.

Oh, come on.

You reminded him of his daughter.

He told me that you look

just like his daughter.

Me?

He asked me repeatedly

to look after your wound.

He was worried

that you thought he was weird.

He was worried about that

when he k*lled ten people?

It wasn't him.

How can you be so sure that it wasn't him?

At the time,

Mr. Kim was severely tortured

by the police.

He had no choice but to admit to doing it.

The police told him to confess

if he wanted to avoid an execution.

He later confessed

during the trial that he made

false confessions because he was tortured,

but his claims weren't accepted.

You're so gullible.

If he felt so wronged,

why didn't he request a retrial?

You can't request a retrial

unless new evidence is found.

It'd be great if his case

gets the spotlight again.

Who knows?

Maybe new evidence will surface.

Bong-yi, talk to someone at work

and get it to be aired.

If he was wrongfully accused,

why didn't his family step up?

He only has a daughter,

and he hasn't seen her for a while now.

Isn't that terrible? She's his daughter.

Because she's his daughter

I'm sure she felt more betrayed

because she must've trusted him

more than anyone.

Those tears didn't seem fake.

You can't request a retrial

unless new evidence is found.

SUSEONG SERIAL m*rder CASE

HAPPENED BETWEEN 1997 AND 1999

CRESCENT MOON-SHAPED APPLE AND RAIN

Jeez.

The injunction's been granted,

so the next week's topic is a no-go.

Is there something we can prepare quickly?

What about this?

This person's classmate's grandmother

has dementia.

She has dementia.

And she is accused of k*lling

stray cats in the neighborhood.

It's Boy Detective Conam again?

Does he ever study?

He thinks our bulletin board

is his notebook.

He doesn't know when to stop.

What other topics are there?

What about the Suseong serial m*rder case?

The one who claims to have confessed

falsely because of the police's t*rture?

That's just what the k*ller says.

What about this case?

Is there a reason?

It's not that.

If he really is falsely accused,

I want his daughter

to know that her father isn't a k*ller

but a nice man.

Our show isn't for personal interests.

We aren't working

for the k*ller's daughter.

I'm sorry.

Let's all think about a new topic

for one more day.

-We'll meet again tomorrow.

-Okay.

Good work.

-I liked the proposal.

-What?

A show that wants

the daughter to at least know

her father isn't a k*ller.

I like the approach.

Really?

But how will you make the daughter believe

that her father isn't the k*ller?

I will find proof no matter what.

No matter what?

All right. No matter what.

-Let me know how it goes.

-Okay.

I know she's a newcomer,

but she is too clueless.

Why? I like that she reminds me

of when I was a rookie.

Year 1995

Rainy day.

There isn't much I can find

on the Internet.

Gosh. This is where you store

the evidence boxes?

Yes.

It's so big. The evidence

from all over the country is stored here?

Not just evidence,

but also handwritten investigation records

from years ago.

We could call it the history

of the crimes in Korea.

Officer Jung.

You hold a key position, don't you?

In what order are they sorted?

By year and name.

Serious crimes are over there.

Parricides are over here.

And this is the serial m*rder section.

SUSEONG SERIAL m*rder CASE

Bong-yi, let's get out of here.

This is a restricted area.

I'm with the South Station.

There's a piece of evidence

I must check with the victim's family.

I see.

Oh, that

Bong-yi.

-Were you here all night?

-Yes.

-You read all these?

-Yes.

Bong-yi, come here.

- Wait.

-You must get out.

-Something's odd.

-What is?

-This apple.

-What apple?

The professionals are saying

that it was too neatly done

to be his first crime.

First murders are usually done

in a clumsy manner, right?

-Right.

-So I looked through every m*rder case

and attempted m*rder case near Suseong.

Look at this.

Look at this.

This is an attempted m*rder that occurred

in Guryeong two years

before the Suseong case.

Look.

If you look here,

a man held a pregnant woman in captivity

and ate an apple.

Pieces of an apple were found

in the victims in Suseong, too.

Aren't they similar?

Yes, you're right.

But this guy was never caught.

Right.

So the culprit

of the Guryeong attempted m*rder case

is the culprit in

Suseong serial m*rder case.

That means Mr. Kim

may truly have been falsely accused.

If he is falsely accused,

do you want to make it right?

Of course.

He isn't the k*ller,

but he was imprisoned for over 20 years.

Of course, he should be released.

If Mr. Park finds out

that I copied the case files,

I will be fired.

You did a great job

for the good of the nation.

You're awesome, my friend.

Look.

At the tenth crime scene,

five strands of body hair that weren't

the victim's were found.

The forensics test suggested

that the blood type was O

and a large amount of cadmium was found.

So at the time, police thought

that the k*ller worked

at Sobong Steel Mill,

where a large amount

of cadmium was released.

At the time, Kim Bong-cheol

was one of the employees there,

and his blood type was O.

Also his house was within 10 km

of all m*rder scenes.

Also, the murders occurred on the days

Kim Bong-cheol worked overtime.

At the time, the forensics tests

weren't as accurate as they are today,

so the results can't be trusted.

And Mr. Kim can't be the only one

whose blood type is O

and who was exposed to cadmium.

That's exactly my point.

But Kim Bong-cheol's confession

was the final blow.

So he was sentenced to life.

In the following trials,

he said that he had no choice

but to make a false confession

because he was tortured,

but it wasn't accepted.

So he needs new evidence

to request a retrial, right?

Then we must find new evidence.

The attempted m*rder case in Guryeong

If we are right, that survivor

may be the only survivor

of the Suseong serial m*rder case.

Yes.

Then shouldn't we talk

to the survivor first?

How?

-Ba-reum will find her for us.

-Me?

The address is from 26 years ago,

so it won't be easy.

All right. Let's start with the address.

-Thanks.

-Awesome!

Officer Jung!

Hello.

Are you Ms. Sung Jin-a?

Who are you?

I'm with a broadcasting station.

One moment, please.

The place is too messy.

-One moment, please.

-Sure.

Hi.

You're so cute.

What brings you here?

Well, I am here

because I have some questions to ask you.

Would you mind telling me

about what you went through in 1995?

I'd like to know the details.

In 1995?

You were kidnapped by a man.

Oh, that?

Why do you ask about that?

To tell you the truth,

there are some questions to be answered

about the Suseong serial m*rder case,

so I'm interviewing people.

The Suseong serial m*rder case?

The k*ller was caught a long time ago.

Yes, that's right.

Is there

a connection between the Suseong case

and what I went through?

No, it's not that.

I just wanted to check something.

If it's all right with you,

can you tell me what happened?

Let's start.

I was nine months pregnant at the time.

I was on my way home.

This is probably for the better.

Please k*ll me.

k*ll me now.

You crazy b*tch.

If that's your wish, I will k*ll you.

That's all.

He was wearing a military uniform,

and he sliced and ate an apple.

Do you remember anything else

that stood out about him?

No.

To be honest, when I saw the news,

I felt like the Suseong case

was similar to what I went through.

So I talked to the police too.

The detectives

of the Suseong case came here?

Yes, I thought

the culprit might be the same person,

so I told them everything I saw.

But they never reached out again,

so I thought it had

nothing to do with my case.

They left it out on purpose.

Did you find the person

who saved your life?

No.

He wasn't from around here.

So it wasn't easy to find him.

I told him to k*ll me,

and he called me a crazy b*tch.

Yes, let's go with this.

I'll go get the director's approval.

Bong-yi, I'm impressed.

Thank you.

-It makes you that happy?

-Yes.

This is all thanks to you.

It's because you found her for me.

-I wonder why she did that.

-What do you mean?

She said that she was

nine months pregnant then.

So why did she ask him to k*ll her?

Don't pregnant women

usually beg to spare their lives

to protect their babies?

I wonder why.

I'm sure she had her reasons.

Even so

I just don't get it.

Yes?

What?

I should go, Ba-reum.

Why? Why won't they allow it?

The case was ruled a long time ago.

If we mess with it, it could affect

the police, prosecutors, and the court.

They said it'd be

too much for us to handle.

What are they scared of?

If they are so sure, they shouldn't care

whether we go on air or not.

The police, the prosecutors, the judges,

and those in the media

They're all the same.

They only care

about their vested interests

when those who are

wrongfully accused just die out.

Damn it.

Is it that upsetting?

If he really is wrongfully accused,

I feel so bad for him.

How would broadcasting it

make a difference?

At least

his daughter would know he's innocent.

I promise to increase the budget

for medical facilities

for dementia patients.

A new beginning,

the beginning of a change.

It starts with Candidate No. 8,

Shin Seong-min.

Please leave.

You can't interview us.

You didn't have to push me like that.

Reporter Seong.

Hello.

Oh, you're the one

who got the brain surgery.

I did hear that you were reinstated.

I guess you were assigned here.

I'm working on the Evidence Team.

What brings you here?

I wanted to see if you found

anything on Kang Deok-su's case.

Have you heard anything?

I accidentally came across something

while sorting the m*rder case files.

Unbelievable! Did you watch the news?

Candidate Shin Seong-min's

future daughter-in-law

turns out to be the daughter of Mr. Kim,

the culprit

of the Suseong serial m*rder case.

For two years since 1997,

Mr. Kim m*rder*d ten women

and put the entire nation

in shock and fear.

Of course I knew.

I've liked Da-seul since college.

When I proposed to her,

she wanted to break up with me.

I begged her to tell me why,

and she told me.

That her father is

the culprit of the Suseong case.

Your parents knew too?

Yes.

I tell my father everything,

so I told him.

Your father is on television.

Yes, she is my future daughter-in-law.

What was I supposed to do?

Should I have told my son to dump her?

She is an upright, lovely girl.

She didn't do anything wrong.

She's been in pain all her life.

You don't have to give her a blessing,

but please don't condemn her.

I got the approval.

The Suseong serial m*rder case

is trending now,

and the entire nation is

focused on this because the daughter

is Shin Seong-min's

future daughter-in-law.

He'll vouch for us against any opposition.

We are busy preparing for the show.

I feel bad for Detective Shin,

but I don't have a choice.

It turned things around.

That's great. Congratulations.

Good luck, Bong-yi.

The owner of the blue toothbrush

Is he your next target?

I must prepare before Sung Yo-han's

instinct is awakened again.

Who is he?

Where am I going to find this scumbag?

I have to find him before he kills again.

KANG DEOK-SU'S m*rder CASE

INVESTIGATION REPOR

KANG DEOK-SU'S MOTHER'S SUICIDE

MAY BE RELEVAN

KANG DEOK-SU'S MOTHER'S SUICIDE CASE

Yes, that's right.

He took those pants from me.

What about this? It's Kang Deok-su's.

I've never seen those clothes.

The patch on the elbow part of the sleeve

wasn't sewn by me either.

What?

So the k*ller did plant the DNA.

Today, I would like to talk about

an attempted m*rder case

from 26 years ago.

This Guryeong case in 1995 occurred

a little after Han Seo-jun,

the Headhunter, was caught.

The entire country was focused

on the Headhunter case,

so no one paid attention to this one.

First, let's hear the testimony

of the survivor who got out alive.

I was wearing knee-high tights

and socks on top.

He took them off and tied

my hands with the tights,

took out an apple and a pocket knife,

and ate the apple in front of me.

He sliced the apple

in the shape of a crescent moon.

I can still vividly remember

the pieces of the apple.

Yes, the tights and the apple.

These are the two trademarks

of the Suseong serial m*rder case

with ten victims.

And we confirmed another trademark

that wasn't released to the public.

Let's hear from the doctor

who did the autopsy.

I still remember because the shape

of the pieces of apple found

in the victims were unique.

They were all in the shape

of a crescent moon.

The piece of the apple she saw in Guryeong

was also crescent moon-shaped.

Is this a coincidence?

Let's listen to her statement again.

I asked him to k*ll me,

and he called me a crazy b*tch.

Then he said,

"If that's your wish, I will k*ll you."

Mr. Kim,

who is currently imprisoned

for murdering people in Suseong,

was born deaf with a speech disorder.

But when the kidnapper heard her

ask him to k*ll her, he cursed.

And he told her that he'd k*ll her.

If he's deaf and has a speech disorder,

how did he hear her talk and say that?

According to the survivor

of the attempted m*rder,

the kidnapper was a man in his 20s

wearing a military uniform.

That doesn't add up because Mr. Kim

was in his 40s at the time.

If the attempted m*rder*r of Guryeong

is the same person

as the k*ller of the Suseong case

Why did you save me?

You should've let us die.

Who was it?

Who was it that he saved me and just left?

According to our research,

the professionals

believe the forensic test result

from back then is inaccurate,

and the body hair found on the scene is

not a match to Mr. Kim's.

Near the crime scenes

of the Suseong serial m*rder case,

there were many other factories

that released cadmium besides

Sobong Steel Mill, where Mr. Kim worked.

First of all, there was

an accessory factory

near the fourth crime scene,

and Sobong Steel Mill,

the seventh crime scene.

There was a jean dye factory

that released cadmium,

although it was far from the crime scenes.

A jean dye factory.

Cadmium.

Currently in his mid-40s?

Lee Jae-sik

The Suseong serial m*rder case.

A jean dye factory.

Even if the k*ller turns out to be

someone else,

-he won't be punished.

-What's this?

It's because the statute

of limitations has passed.

Maybe the police,

the prosecutors, and the judges

imprisoned an innocent man

-Unbelievable.

-and let the real culprit

I should call the police.

-get through the statute of limitations.

-Police!

I wonder how much

they'll pay me for this information.

Good work.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

-We got great response.

-Yes. Good work.

Good work.

Thank you.

UNKNOWN CALLER

Hello?

Who?

Detective Ko!

Hey, Bong-yi. What brings you here?

Did you watch the show?

Yes, I did. I heard everything

from Officer Jung.

I'm proud of you, Bong-yi.

I didn't do much.

It was all Producer Choi.

Here.

What's this?

I heard the news.

You'll host Detective Shin's wedding.

I didn't want you to dress like this.

What's wrong with my outfit?

Why are you being so nice to me?

What do you mean?

There's no reason.

I have a job now, and I got paid.

I don't think I'll be fired anytime soon.

So I used several months' pay

to thank you for looking after me.

Gosh.

I look more handsome

than Officer Jung, right?

No, of course not.

You're definitely blinded by love.

Bong-yi, Officer Jung

seems to like you a lot.

I am so relieved and happy

that a nice guy like him is with you.

He must be a gift from your grandmother.

Be happy now, Bong-yi.

Be the happiest version of you for her.

Okay?

-Okay.

-Good.

Here she comes.

You should answer this.

He has something for you.

-Is that so?

-Yes.

Producer Choi Hong-ju speaking.

Is that so?

Then let's talk in person.

Can you give me your number?

Yes.

Come by my office by 7 p.m.

I'll let the reception know.

There's a video clip about Kang Deok-su's

case that'll turn the world upside down.

He's saying it'll be a scoop.

I have an interview tonight,

so I won't make it.

-Why don't you meet him?

-Okay.

Don't get your hopes up.

We get many calls like this.

The show got positive response.

How does it feel?

It still feels unreal,

but it feels good

that people seem interested.

Good job, Bong-yi.

Thank you.

It's the police briefing.

Your daughter must've watched the show,

given she came to visit so soon.

Don't be nervous, okay?

Tell her that you love her.

We looked into it,

and we didn't find any problems

in the investigation process

in the Suseong serial m*rder case.

We are disappointed

in the Sherlock Hong-ju team

that confused the public

by making it seem like

the Guryeong case was done

by the same person.

We will restart the investigation

if there's new evidence

to the Suseong case.

Yes, he worked here for about two years.

There was a m*rder case

near here back then.

The Suseong serial m*rder case.

Of course, I know. I was questioned too.

What about Lee Jae-sik?

He was one of the suspects.

He and I were released

because our blood types weren't O.

He accidentally k*lled a man

who tried to r*pe his stepdaughter.

Oh, it was his stepdaughter.

The number is 088-8974

The person you've dialed is unavailable.

Hey, Shin. I need to ask you for a favor.

Lee Jae-sik has a daughter.

Find out where she lives.

I wish you luck.

Thank you.

Let's have a drink if we meet out there.

Sure. I wish you the best.

That night, I woke up

to go to the bathroom,

and you weren't there.

I stayed up waiting for you.

A little later, you came home.

You were soaked with blood,

and your pants were covered

in mud and wet grass.

The next day

I saw the news

about the tenth victim being found

near our house.

But I couldn't

tell anyone.

Is it true?

If I tell the truth,

can you stop him from being released?

Then

We don't have to be on the run anymore?

Yes.

Lee Jae-sik is the one

who tried to r*pe me.

That guy who had a fling with me

tried to save me, and

He was

That scumbag smashed

a brick into the guy's head.

Then you should've told the cops

what happened then.

I was too scared.

He threatened to k*ll

me and my mom if I told the truth.

I was too scared.

Is Lee Jae-sik really the culprit

of the Suseong serial m*rder case?

Dong-gu, where's Lee Jae-sik now?

He was released earlier. Why?

Damn it!

Where could he have gone?

Where could he have gone?

Detective Shin. There is a place

out of the Suseong case scenes

-that hasn't been developed yet, right?

-Hold on.

Yes, there is.

Jomyeongri grassland. The 8th

and 10th victims were found there.

-It hasn't been developed.

-Jomyeongri grassland.

He said he would be here by 7 p.m.

Where is he?

Have you seen Producer Choi?

She left earlier for an interview.

Hello?

An accident?

Yes, he's being transferred

to the Moojin Hospital ER.

Okay. All right.

What? He's from our neighborhood.

There's a video clip about Kang Deok-su's

case that will turn the world upside down.

Detective Ko?

He was forewarning

that Lee Jae-sik was the next target.

That psychopath scumbag.

This one.

He's a predator too.

That's

What's going on?

Detective Ko Moo-chi is a predator?

Damn it.

Are you looking for something?

It's a culprit's toothbrush

that was stored here,

and I can't find it.

Is that so?

For which case?

A foul play.

It's not a m*rder case,

but we can't lose it.

I see.

I'll look for it too.

It's a blue toothbrush.

This must be it.

You found it?

-Is this it?

-Yes, that's it.

There it is.

What a relief.

I can breathe again.

FOUL PLAY IN MIRI-DONG

INVESTIGATION REPOR

If he accidentally k*lled a man

while trying to save

his stepdaughter from being r*ped

Then he can't be a predator.

He got a job in Suseong

and moved there in 1997.

He lived in Suseong for eight years

and moved to Chunju in 2005.

Suseong

Suseong serial m*rder case?

But the k*ller was caught.

Year 1997 and 1998.

SUSEONG SERIAL m*rder CASE

10 m*rder CASES OCCURRED

THROUGHOUT 1997 TO 1998

From 1997 to 1998

That's when Lee Jae-sik worked in Suseong.

It's sad enough

that Mr. Kim was falsely accused.

Hey, Dong-gu.

Can you get me a strand of Mr. Kim's hair?

The NFS is testing the evidence

from unsolved cases again.

You said that you don't think

Mr. Kim is the real culprit.

I wanted to confirm it by sending it in

along with other pieces of evidence.

Will we know for sure by testing this?

Well, I will ask for the test.

I don't know if it'll be accepted

since it's not an unsolved case.

Did I leave my tie

after I had a drink here?

Oh, that.

It got blood on it,

so I sent it to get it dry-cleaned.

-I'll get it back to you tomorrow.

-Bye. Let me know about the result.

-Okay.

-Thanks!

Please test this.

It's the DNA of a normal person.

You can retrieve DNA

from this blood, right?

Please plant it here.

I thought I would die of boredom

waiting for you to be released.

Please spare my life.

Spare your life?

I'm sure your victims said the same thing.

But what did you do?

One ample of atropine, please.

Please book an OR.

It was you, Ba-reum?
