You had some more space.
How could you park like that?
It's all right. I'll be out in a jiffy anyway. Written and Directed by NA Hong-jin
This way.
Sir, so is that your car?
You bitch, you're dead if I catch you.
The Chaser
Yes.
I'm back!
I'm sorry, sir.
Two of our girls ran away. Business has been bad lately.
I've already put such a big advance on those girls.
But sir, I can't get that much money ready in three days.
Once I collect the money from them, and pay you back...
Turn it off, asshole!
Can't you see I was on the phone?
You have no fucking manners.
Did you hand them out?
- Yes, sir. - Go hand out some more, idiot!
Dumb asshole.
Yes.
Where?
Hapjung district.
Provence Motel, room 301.
I'll send her now.
- Hello. - Hey.
You came fast.
Seong-hee, you don't look so young.
- How old are you? - Thirty.
You took good care of yourself. Nice body.
Why? Need to go pee?
- Yes. - Later.
- No. - Go later.
I told you to go later.
- What's wrong? - Let go.
- Just wanted to take some pictures. - Let go!
Okay, I'll pay you instead.
Let go, you pervert!
What?
Crazy assholes.
Where is she?
You fucking slut!
You call me a pervert, huh?
Watch your mouth, bitch!
You want to die, huh?
Come here, you bitch!
- Mister. - You're dead!
She's leaving. Calm down.
- Get out! - Come here, bitch!
- Mister. - Come over here!
- She's leaving. - Bitch...
Come here, you bitch! You're dead!
- She's leaving now. - You bitch!
- Calm down... - What the fuck...
Who the hell are you?
I'm her guardian, asshole.
Sit down.
Kneel down.
Cover yourself!
So what are you going to do?
Let's settle this.
Satisfied?
There you are.
Let me see.
I'm quitting for real. Don't call me.
Hey!
Did you find the girls?
Where did you find the car?
In Mangwon district.
Did you call the police?
You crazy?
Report girls who ran away from me?
I told you they didn't run away.
You used to be a detective.
Then go find them instead of ripping people off.
You crazy bitch, who says I'm ripping people off?
I'm the one who's being ripped off.
Bitches get a big advance from me and then disappear.
Ask any asshole on the street what it means.
Whether they've been sold or ran away.
Rotten bastard.
Hey!
Hey! Seong-hee!
That damn temper of hers.
Meathead
What?
This bastard keeps rejecting the girls and now there's no one left.
There's Mi-jin, idiot.
She wants to rest because she's caught a cold.
Cold my ass. I'm hanging up.
What the fuck's wrong with everyone?
Mom.
Mom!
What?
Take the medicine.
Bring me my cell phone, honey.
Filth
Yes, Jung-ho.
Where are you?
I'm sorry. I'm very sick.
Where are you sick?
I think it's a cold. I also have a fever.
I'll take a day off.
A cold?
In the middle of summer?
Are you with a guy?
No.
Are you trying to run away like the others?
What are you saying?
You better get to work before you regret it.
Okay?
Why aren't you answering me?
Jung-ho, please.
Where do you live? I'm going over right now.
Where is it?
Okay, I'll go.
Call Meathead.
Yes.
Damn it.
What's this?
You have to go?
I'll be back soon.
Yes, a Matiz.
I'm wearing a white cardigan over a dress.
Did it turn on?
Yes.
4885?
4885...
I've heard of it.
4885?
Know this number?
Yes, sir.
He's a complete wacko.
Mi-jin went to serve that bastard.
Ji-young
Mi-jin
Shit.
Where did she go?
To Mangwon district.
Yeah, it's that bastard. He sold them.
It's me. Just answer yes or no.
Are you with that bastard now?
Your customer.
At a motel or his home?
Are you going to his house in your car?
Okay, listen carefully.
Memorize his address as you go into his house.
Just do as I say.
Don't get me upset.
Soon as you go in, tell him you'll take a shower.
Then text me his address. Simple, right?
Don't let him be suspicious.
You die if you screw up.
I'm finally lucky.
Shouldn't we report it?
Want to see this business go down?
Look after the office.
Yes, sir.
Who is it?
My manager.
Your boss?
Yes.
Something wrong?
No, he's worried that I'm sick.
Which way shall I go?
Over there. Park in front of the guard post.
What a tough life.
The mayor of Seoul.
At the market at this hour.
Jung-ho, what's up?
Gil-woo, are you busy?
I'm busy, why?
Remember what I told you?
- What? - About my girls running away.
They didn't run away. They've been sold.
The same guy called for the girls.
So? Going to catch that asshole?
- Yes. - Where are you?
Mangwon district. Are you busy now?
I told you I'm busy.
I don't know how many of them there are.
I might be outnumbered.
Could you send a few of your guys at least?
History will be the judge!
Get the hell out!
Gil-woo?
Damn it.
It's here.
Mangwon district, 24-1
Something wrong?
No.
Come in.
Okay.
- Coming? - Yes.
I'll take a shower.
Sure, it's over there.
Mangwon district

Message failed
I think I left the condom in my car. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Mi-jin
Your call cannot be connected.
Damn it.
Mi-jin
- Your call cannot be connected. - What the...
Hey.
Do you know Ji-young?
Haven't seen her for a while, have you?
Hush, hush.
She kept screaming, so I cut off her tongue.
Good.
Mi-jin.
Scared?
Do you want to go home?
Why do you want to go home?
Tell me why you should live.
No reason?
Spare me.
Please let me live!
No reason, right?
Wait! I have one!
I have a daughter.
She's seven years old.
Nobody would even know that you're dead.
Nobody will look for you.
Don't move.
It won't hurt at all. None of them felt any pain.
It hurts if you move around.
Damn it.
9256-4885
Your call cannot be connected.
Damn it.
Who is it?
Sorry to disturb you so late.
Is Mr. Park home?
Who are you people?
Please leave
There's no one by that name here.
Mr. Park hasn't come to church lately.
There's no sign of him.
There's no such person here.
Then did he move?
I don't know.
Oh, goodness, it's Pungsan.
- Honey, isn't that Pungsan? - You're right.
How'd you get so skinny?
Let's go.
Wait a minute. Look at her.
Why are you being so stubborn?
- Pungsan! - I'm sorry to disturb you.
Let's go.
Something's not right.
Wait a minute.
Sorry.
Actually, he's sleeping.
Come inside.
- Do you live around here? - Yes.
Have you seen a guy and a girl with long hair and a pale face?
No, I haven't.
- They were just here. - Sorry.
Why do you keep on bothering me?
Damn it.
Fuck.
I'm busy so just give me your number.
The insurance will cover it.
I said just give me your number.
Forget it. Just go.
What?
It's all right. Just leave.
Don't lay one on me later. Just give me your number.
Mister!
I'm all right, okay?
Sir.
I made a mistake, so I should make up for it.
It's okay.
Give me your number. I'll take care of it, okay?
I said it's all right.
I'm really okay, so can you move your car?
You don't have to pay me.
No, give me your number. I'll pay for the damage.
You're hurt.
Isn't that blood?
What are you talking about?
Move your car!
I said move your car! Are you deaf?
Lady, move your damn car!
Pull out!
- Pull out! - Hey, 4885.
It's you, huh?
Oh, brother.
Son of a bitch.
Answer it, asshole.
You're dead meat.
Get out.
Hey! You!
Hey!
Son of a bitch.
Stop, you son of a bitch!
Wait till I catch you.
Son of a bitch.
Why are you running away?
Think you'd get away?
Asshole, what did you do with my girls?
You already sold them?
Asshole, who the hell are you?
Ji Young-min Anyang city
What the hell?
Where's your house?
Answer me.
Answer me now.
Anyang city.
That's your address on paper. Where do you live now?
Not talking? You block me?
You son of a bitch.
You pain in the ass.
- Move, now! - Move your car back!
Come here.
Bastards.
You caused this mess, asshole!
Move.
Out of the way.
- Hey, Miss! - What kind of person did do that...
Move. Out of the way.
What are you doing? Get out!
Get in the car.
If there's an accident, you should go around.
This won't solve anything.
Move your car.
Reverse! Move back!
Sir!
Hey, you!
You can't park like this.
Is that your car?
Yes.
Are you a cop?
Yes, I am.
Show me your badge.
I left it at the police station.
This is 390.
Come in Mangwon station.
ID check.
What station do you work at?
I was in a task force unit two years ago.
Let's call them.
Let's go to the station first.
But my girls are being sold this very moment.
Shut up! Let's go and talk!
You son of a bitch.
I told you to shut up!
Damn it.
No answer?
No cell phone, either. Nothing he says makes sense.
All we need to do is go to his house.
Please write it all down, frankly.
Yes, sir.
People like him need to be deported. How dare you impersonate a cop!
Asshole, tell the truth. Where did you sell the girls?
Be quiet!
Why are you shouting?
Ask that bastard directly.
You're out of line.
Ask him! Don'tjust get on my case!
You really sold them?
Are you crazy?
Sorry. He just wanted me to ask.
This is fucking insane.
Block them, idiot!
Be quiet!
Which hospital?
St. Mary's Hospital. I'll call you from there.
Why'd you throw shit on his face, you crazy bastard?
Yes, Captain. I'm on my way now.
How can I stop someone who pops up out of nowhere?
Hey, cover the seat first before he gets in.
Yes, the rest went to the hospital.
Yes, I'll bring him in first.
Mr. Ji Young-min, whose car is that?
- Pardon? Car? - Yes.
It belongs to someone I know.
Who is that person you know?
What?
What's his name?
I can't remember.
Do you know his number?
It's at home.
Something wrong?
No, it's strange you don't know the car owner.
I have a very bad memory.
Okay, just keep writing.
Mr. Ji, does your number start with 011 or 016?
016
I thought you didn't have a phone.
What?
Where's your cell phone?
At home.
Then why did you lie?
Tell me your number.
It's 4885, right?
No.
Come on, I can find out easily.
Did you sell the girls?
No.
Come on, did you sell the girls?
I said no.
I didn't sell them.
- I killed them... - What?
- Nothing. - You just said something.
- What? - You said that you killed them.
Yes.
What?
Yes, I killed them.
Whose shit is it? Is it yours?
History will be the judge of things! Damn you all!
- Crazy asshole. - What a crazy...
We're in deep trouble for this.
This is crazy.
I've been suffering.
They've stopped the water supply and I haven't washed for ages.
Jung-ho I can't even flush my own shit.
Shut the hell up!
Be quiet.
What?
I'm busy now.
What are you talking about?
How do you know whether he killed them or not?
Anyway...
Yes.
Nine of them?
He said he killed nine people?
Hey, Jung-ho.
Bastard.
That Son of...
Detective Oh.
Yes?
Remember the Mapo murder case?
- Three murdered women? - Yeah.
How many occurred in Mangwon district?
All of them happened in Mangwon.
In the ally at dawn.
Really?
Why?
Never mind.
What shall we do?
Let's take him in first.
His statement makes sense.
It does, doesn't it?
Bunch of idiots wasting time.
What did you say?
You're way out of line.
Watch what you say.
He's pretending to be crazy now.
Hey!
Shut up, you pimp.
You're worse than this asshole.
You sell out your old police badge to pimp girls.
Take him to the car.
- Yes? - Put him in the car!
Yes, sir!
We're not taking the blame for him beating this guy up.
Let's not be like this, okay?
Let's go. Hurry up.
Hello.
Gil-woo!
Where are you going?
Those idiots are holding him.
- And just... - Hold on.
Can I help you?
I'm from the Task Force Unit.
Where?
The Task Force Unit at the Seoul station.
You must've come for the Mapo case files.
No, I came for that guy.
What?
I'm taking him in.
Sorry to wake you up, sir.
What is this all about?
It's a bit complicated.
Damn it!
Who is this?
Yes, this man is...
Is he the shit thrower?
Yes, I believe so.
Crazy bastard, why'd you throw shit at someone?
What is he saying?
Looks like he has to urinate. Would you like to talk to him?
Forget it.
So are you sure about this?
Yes, Gil-woo is.
Don't use him as an excuse.
- Sorry, sir. - Okay.
You son of bitch!
Why is it so noisy in here!
Sir!
Crazy bastards.
Who's Ji Young-min?
Are you Ji Young-min?
Yes.
What happened to your face?
Are you all out of your minds?
Sir, we didn't do anything.
Shut up!
Come outside.
Come out now!
- Have a good life. - Let me loose.
Who beat him?
- Well... - They did it?
- I don't know, sir. - Find out who beat him
and then bring him in.
Yes, sir!
- You know the situation we're in? - Yes, sir.
We're all dead if this case fails.
Yes, sir.
Who did this to you?
That guy inside.
- Who? - Hey!
There's more than one in there!
That man over there.
Come here, you son of a bitch.
You lie to all of them?
You son of a bitch!
- Chill. - That little...!
Cut it out. Let's go to the station first.
Jung-ho, you can do it there.
Right, let's go.
Gil-woo, come here.
Let's go and do it, okay?
You're sure about this, right?
Yes, I'm sure.
- Absolutely sure? - Yes, I am.
Okay, let's go.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Wait! Stop! - Why?
Where'd that bastard go?
- Who? - Jung-ho.
Damn it.
There's that bastard.
Hey!
Come to the office!
- Okay. - You better come!
Okay!
Owner: Kwon Hae-gab
Damn bastard.
Hey.
Hey!
- Me? - Yeah, you.
What did you kill the girls with?
With a chisel.
The ones to crack stones?
Yes.
- Is that right? - Yes,
it was a narrow blunt instrument.
Okay.
I need to pee really bad. Let me out.
Shut up.
Or else I'll yank your dick out.
Detective.
What?
Kim Mi-jin is probably still alive.
What's he talking about?
Kim Mi-jin.
The girl that guy was looking for.
Where is she now?
In Anyang city?
Why?
Why would the victim be there?
Wait, stop the car.
That's just his address on paper. He lives in Mangwon district.
That's where I caught him.
Bastard hangs up the phone before I'm finished.
Car registration
Who is it?
Do you know this man?
No.
These keys?
I don't know.
Look carefully.
It's the first time I've seen it.
Where did they go?
They were going to some meeting, but I don't remember.
Yanpyung 11a.m. Yangpyung?
Yes, I think so.
Yangpyung is...
Anyway, they must've past the corner store.
What took you so long, idiot?
What happened?
What about Mi-jin?
I couldn't find her.
What?
See that store across the street?
- Yes. - See that alley next to it?
- Yes. - So,
Search every house from there to this address with this.
- What is this? - Find houses
with basements, where the cell phone wouldn't work.
Where is this house?
Come here.
- See that top over there? - Yes.
Where the hell are you looking, idiot?
That top over the cross.
Yes.
Right there.
Why don't we just report it?
They know already.
Then why go through the trouble?
Just do what I say, asshole.
We have to find Mi-jin.
I got it.
Search every corner!
Okay!
Shit.
If you make an arrest without a warrant,
you need approval by a prosecutor within 12 hours.
12 hours?
Yes.
What if it isn't approved?
We have to release him.
Shit.
Where are you?
It's already two. What have you been doing?
Why'd you go to Mangwon after Anyang city?
Then you should've dropped off the shit thrower.
Sit down.
So did you hit them with a chisel or hammer them with it?
Used the hammer, of course.
Give me your hand.
Relax.
Why'd you kill them like that?
I choked them and used knives, but they were too painful.
I saw how pigs were killed and did the same.
And then?
- Hang them on the wall. - What?
Yes?
Hang what?
Their bodies, of course.
Say ah.
And then?
You know that muscle behind the ankles?
- The Achilles tendon? - Yes.
I slice it with a knife.
- Of the dead body? - Yes.
Why?
To drain out the blood. Otherwise they're too heavy to lift.
That's right.
That's how the corpses get lighter.
So what did you do next?
Leave it around for a day, drain out all the blood and mess.
Then I ax the bodies and bury them.
Where?
Yes?
Where'd you bury the dead bodies?
Here and there.
Here and there is where? Tell me exactly.
Well...
You wouldn't have buried nine people in your front yard.
Not nine.
What?
It's twelve.
Why twelve? Wasn't it nine?
Come to think of it, it was twelve.
Are you kidding me?
Gil-woo!
Just tell us what you remember.
You're doing well.
I was driving and the Equus popped out.
It slammed into my car, and this rat was driving.
That's why you beat him?
No, I held on to him and called 4885.
- And his phone is... - Hey.
Just answer what I ask you.
So you beat him, right?
It was you who messed up his face, right?
What are you doing?
Yes? Now?
Yes, sir.
The chief wants to see you.
Testimony First, press your finger.
Go to Mi-jin's house?
Yes, go with him.
- Why? - To do a DNA test
on the blood on his shirt and her samples.
So you actually believe what this bastard's saying?
Hey! Just go!
I doubt this bastard killed anyone. Just search the neighborhood.
Hey! Jung-ho!
Give me a break.
Does it taste delicious, you bastard!
Why do you keep hitting him?
Is this time to eat chocolate?
Hey! Jung-ho!
Bastard.
Is it true that the suspect threw human feces?
Have you identified the suspect?
Almost there.
Turn right and go straight?
Straight in?
Steps?
Downstairs?
The first one?
Okay.
Anybody home? Anybody there?
Of course nobody's here.
What shall we do now?
Let's go to the owner's house.
Move, move.
What is that?
You scared me.
You should've answered if you were inside.
- Is this the police? - Hey, you!
Strangers are breaking in.
Mapo-gu Sangsoo-dong 21-15.
They're coming inside!
Give it to me.
Who the hell are you?
I'm asking you.
Are you Mi-jin's daughter?
This place is a mess.
What are you doing here?
Go stay over there.
Why are you taking someone's hair?
You little prick, go away.
Why are you taking her hair?
Aren't you going to sleep?
You go to sleep.
You're just like your mom.
What about my mom?
You little brat.
All done. So what now?
Leave, of course.
What's your name?
Take it.
Call me if you get into any trouble.
Let's go.
Damn it.
According to witnesses,
Bastard made me lose my appetite.
Where's my mom?
She's working.
Then why'd you take her hair?
For a DNA test?
You're unbelievable.
My mom isn't working now, is she?
Something happened to her?
Don't you have somewhere to go?
How much did you search?
I'll be there soon, so search around some more.
Also, do you know anyone who can look after a kid?
Okay, bye.
Look behind you!
Is there a cigarette?
Yes.
Get back there.
Throw it out the window.
Is it gone?
Yes.
Is there a burned mark?
Yes.
Damn it, nothing's helping me.
What a day.
You called my mom before, right?
Didn't you ask my mom to go to work tonight?
I'll send you back home if you keep bothering me.
Filth.
What did you say?
What? Filth?
Get out!
The Mapo murders are also included.
But who's this woman that's alive?
He seems to be lying. She's probably been murdered.
Except for the Mapo murders,
they were killed at his house and you can't find the bodies?
No, sir.
If you don't know the address,
it means you don't know anything.
The suspect can't remember the address,
but we can find it quickly if we start searching in the morning.
Why aren't his motives written down?
He kept on talking gibberish. No particular motivation.
Then make one up! What the hell is this?
Yes, sir.
You know the situation we're in?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
We die if we blow this.
Get this right if you want to keep yourjobs.
So that the mayor's incident shuts up, okay?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Who is it?
The police. Open the door.
Sit down.
Sit comfortably.
Yes.
Lady.
How can a sister not know where her brother lives?
We really don't know.
We haven't seen him for a long time.
How long?
About three years.
Where did he live then?
In prison, right?
Yes, in prison.
What a screwed-up family.
Now let's put things in order, yes?
Like I said before,
your brother and brother-in-law sold three of my girls.
But I've paid twenty thousand for those girls.
What shall we do about that?
Let's sign a contract.
Why aren't you answering?
Byeong-soo!
Are you all right?
Everything's okay.
He was like this ever since he was a baby.
My son was bleeding when I came back home.
My damn brother was the only one home.
Ever since then, I barely saw my brother.
Where are we going?
I said where are we going?
We're not looking for my mom, are we?
Be quiet!
Let me think.
Is your name Oh Eun-shil?
Why?
Your eyes are very pretty.
Shut up.
Why'd you cut your hair so short?
You'd look sexy with long hair.
- Hey! - Yes?
- You want a beating? - No.
Just sit and don't screw around.
You're not wearing any perfume.
You must be on your period. Smells fishy.
Is this a call-girl massage parlor?
Let me ask you something.
What's up?
We're in deep trouble.
That asshole has done this twice before.
What are you talking about?
The prosecutor called.
Young-min said he killed someone before.
But he was freed since there wasn't enough evidence.
The prosecutor ordered him to be freed.
The chief is going to have a fit.
We're screwed.
You want to die?
Did you kill them or not?
Answer me, you bastard!
Young-min, you told us everything before.
What's wrong with you?
Turn the camera.
Let me ask you once more.
Did you kill them or not?
I'm sorry.
Who the hell do you think you are?
You must think we're some damn clowns.
I checked.
Noryangjin station's warrant was rejected by the judge.
Eunpyung station was like us.
Both stations had insufficient evidence.
Screw them. That asshole is the murderer.
He can't make that kind of statement if he hadn't killed them.
That's right.
So do you want to let him go?
Or search that neighborhood to find some evidence?
Listen carefully.
He said he buried the victims,
- Right? - Yes, sir.
It means he buried the victims somewhere else.
He couldn't have buried all 12 bodies in his front yard.
- In the mountain! - Yes,
but are there many mountains there?
No, sir.
No, there is only one. Sungmi Mountain.
- Am I right? - Yes, sir.
Go search there.
Find the dead bodies.
Are you really a cop?
Show me your badge.
I can't believe this.
You're not a cop, are you?
Fuck.
