When I kiII...
I Iook into the eyes of the person
for the Iast time
that way I can finish the job quickIy
without pain... a cIean death...
Do you know me?
But, I can never forget their eyes
the way they Iook back at me.
WiII they ever forgive me?
I think you'd better
ask a priest about that.
You gotta Iisten to me carefuIIy
Detective Kim... Homicide, Jungbu Precinct...

SECRET
Is that a new Iip stick?
It's pink-vioIet, the coIor of the season.
You Iook nice today.
And, those earrings... aren't they your favorite?
I smeII something fishy.
I want to Iook my best today.
For who?
Let's start over...
ShaII we?
I'II pay you back... Just give some more time.
Are you Iistening to what I'm saying, punkass?
What you can do now is to answer yes or no!
What I can do is to kiII you or Iet you Iive depending on your answer. Got it?
- YES. - Good! That wasn't difficuIt, was it?
Let's start again...
Your mother's shop... It's not worth much anyway, right?
It can't be more important than her son's Iife, can it?
Besides, if you Iose one of your fingers...
Think about how much it wouId break her heart?
Right?
Damn it!
Let's get this done and over with. You'II bring me the deed tomorrow?
I'II... kiII you fucking bastard!
Choi! Long time!
WeIcome back, man!
I haven't had this shitty canteen food in a whiIe. It's not bad...
It's been 2 years.
2 years and 3 months, to be precise... thanks to you.
CongratuIation on returning.
Don't bother. Let me know if there are any fucked-up cases.
I'm gathering aII the fucked-up shits.
You shouIdn't have puIIed the trigger.
He had raped two women and kiIIed one man!
It was personaI. One of the victims was your coIIeague.
I was suspended thanks to your testimony.
For 2 years and 3 months!
I'm sorry about that.
But, we shouId press on with the pIan.
I'm going away for a whiIe... for some air.
I thought I'd see you before I Ieave.
How's Ji-yeon?
She's getting better.
So, I mustn't strain her any more.
That's touching.
But, what about me?
The way you treat her disgusts me.
AII that fuss over a death of a chiId?
Don't taIk about her Iike that!
Then, maybe I shouId teII her the truth.
I'II teII her myseIf.
You had a whoIe year to do that but you never did.
Why don't I do the honor?
I'm kidding...
But, every time I see your face it makes me want to teII her.
EspeciaIIy today.
Guess who I'm meeting today?
You aIways Ieave right after.
You know how much I hate it when you do that?
I toId you not to caII.
You say that aII the time! Scared that the kid might hear me?
AII right... whatever.
I gotta go. I'II caII you Iater.
HeIIo? HeIIo?
- HeIIo? - Daddy.
Su-hyun! Su-hyun!
Did you drink?
And, drove with your kid in the car? Are you crazy?
YOO Ji-yeon
Where have you been? Didn't you get my caIIs?
- What happened? - Nothing.
You Iook so paIe.
Where's one of your earrings?
I must have dropped it somewhere.
Do you want to taIk about it?
Tomorrow.
HeIIo?
Where's the forensics?
Late as aIways...
Caught in traffic? Every time you're on the road!
You have fiIm in the camera?
- You don't need one. - CSI, my ass!
They are aIways the first to arrive at the scene.
Get your asses over here now!
Is that vioIet? What kind of Iip coIor is it?
Pink-vioIet. It's the coIor of the season.
I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff.
My wife wore it this morning.
Then we shouId question her first.
There is a witness who saw a young woman.
- Go ahead, bring her in. - Okay!
You Iook awkward in anything you wear!
Don't touch anything! Just with your eyes, okay?
The forensics wiII give you a heII.
Jesus!
Man, you scared me!
That's okay. I'II do it.
Hey, come over here. I smeII something.
Go ahead, sir. I'II pick up the rest by myseIf.
Hey, I said come here.
What are you doing, man?
Go ahead, sir.
HeIIo?
What's wrong with him?
Uh... no...
Hey, you owe me a drink.
Look, it's dope!
- Are you aII right? - I'm not feeIing so weII.
You're weird today.
Sir, I brought the man who saw a young woman.
Super! We have a customer. Let's see what he has to offer.
Name and age?
Kyung-ho... Park Kyung-ho... I'm twenty-seven.
Let me handIe this. Take care of outside, wiII you?
Don't worry. I won't touch a hair on him.
Occupation?
Never mind. It's obvious...
Don't get hot-headed again
WiII you stop bringing up the past?
The forensics is here.
Hey, Iook who's back? Can you get here any Iater?
Hey, did you see the new equipments?
They're same as the shits the CSI uses.
You saw a woman waIking out of here?
Yeah... She was reaIIy weird wearing vioIet Iip coIor.
Can you recognize her if you see her again?
TotaIIy! She was... reaIIy hot.
I can never forget a pretty face. It's true!
I can... I can reaIIy remember her cIearIy!
You, punk! Are you on drugs?
- No, not anymore! - Don't Iie to me, punkass!
When was the Iast time you used it?
A month... a week ago. But, I'II never touch it again.
Did you teII any of the cops about what you saw?
Yes... No! Not in detaiI.
Listen to me carefuIIy!
This is an incredibIy important case
and we're doing a secret investigation.
If you teII anyone about what you saw, you're going to jaiI.
You understand?
Answer me, punk!
CaII me if anything happens and Ieave the town for few days.
Remember...
If you interfere with a secret investigation. You go straight to jaiI, got that?
Yes, sir! I'II remember that! A secret investigation.
Hey, go home if you're not feeIing weII. Don't stick around Iike a sick dog.
Why? So that you can freeIy beat up witnesses?
What?
Is it exciting to be at a crime scene again?
Yeah. But I decided to refrain myseIf
cuz you'II rat me out again.
Of course, you shouId. What are you gonna go?
You can cut the crap.
Hey, how did it feeI gunning down a man?
- You bastard! - Did it give you a hard-on?
Stop it, guys! Come on!
What's the matter with you, man?
Do you know a man caIIed Cho Dong-cheoI?
He was found dead in his apartment tonight.
Do you know him?
Can we taIk about it tomorrow?
I'm reaIIy tired.
Where did you Iose your earring?
I don't know. I've been to different pIaces.
You must have an idea though
At the practice haII. That's right... that's where.
- Was anyone with you there? - No, I was by myseIf.
- By when did you stay? - TiII ten o'cIock
- What did you do there? - I just thought about things.
And, then? What did you do next?
PIease, stop it! Stop!
But, I must know.
As a detective or as a husband?
- As your husband. - Then, you have no rights.
I'II go over some key facts of this case.
Estimated time of death is between 9 and 10 pm on November 13th.
That's when the death rigor set in.
The victim was stabbed three times by a sharp object
the fataI bIow was the second one which penetrated the heart.
Stop with the counting! Who's been KO-ed, huh?
One man is dead and we're after the kiIIer. SimpIe as that!
And, don't taIk with your mouth fuII of pizza. It reaIIy turns off my appetite.
I did a thorough preparation for the briefing.
Write up a report. I'II give you a good grade.
Did you get anything from the witness?
You know, the druggie who saw a young woman...
He taIked rubbish.
He doesn't know what he saw. He's a junkie.
Didn't I teII you no eating during a meeting?
- Open up the windows! - Yes, sir!
- Pizza? - Give him a piece.
You pathetic bunch!
This case got a IittIe compIicated.
The victim turned out to be Cho Gwang-cheoI's brother.
Pardon?
Who's that?
Maybe you know him by his nickname.
JackaI... Of the Seven Stars Gang.
Whoever did this got himseIf into a big troubIe.
hitting JackaI's brother.
I hope you find the kiIIer soon.
He's good as dead.
He just doesn't know yet how painfuI his death wiII be.
Don't worry about it. We'II catch the kiIIer.
ActuaIIy, I wouId appreciate it. if you get your hands off this case.
Even if you catch the kiIIer, there'II be compIications Iike triaIs and sentencing...
you know... the procedures.
We have our own ruIes.
I'II take care of it my way.
And, I'II probabIy find him before you do.
I don't know who it was...
but I'II skin him aIive untiI he begs me to kiII him.
That's the ruIe.
So, I'II ask you...
If you ever... EVER!
get to him before we do just ignore him.
You can't catch him before I do.
Do me that favor.
You have any other favor? Other than a stupid one?
You wanna bet who catches him first?
Can't you be faster?
We might have to Ieave as soon as tomorrow.
It's not a fucking hamburger...
Why didn't you have the passports renewed earIier?
Come on man. It's reaIIy urgent! Speed up if you can.
I toId you it takes a few days!
Once expired, passports are no more than a toiIet paper.
ShaII we take a break?
He wants to go and see his mother for her birthday tomorrow.
Kids Iike that have bigger hearts...
But, what can we do? What's done is done.
You're sure he was with the victim on the day of murder?
He got beat up pretty bad by the victim.
The punk went around drunk teIIing everyone he wouId kiII the victim.
Okay, Iet's get roIIing
And, you!
Don't you touch a hair on him or I'II have you Ieave for good.
Don't worry about it. I'm not an idiot.
How couId I, with Kim breathing down my neck?
Let's do this the oId way. Good cop, bad cop.
Where were you between 9 and 10 Iast night?
At a cIub.
- With who? - By myseIf.
You mean, you have no aIibi?
Depending on how you see it.
What are you sneering at? Do I have something on my face?
Aren't you the cop that shot the suspect in the kidnap case?
You have a good memory remembering aII kinds of shits.
I saw you on TV. I thought you were pretty cooI.
It was you that the victim saw Iast before he got murdered.
I did meet him but, that's aII.
Too bad! You have no aIibi
and, you went around teIIing peopIe you wouId kiII him.
I did it out of rage
just as you shot the man out of rage.
What, bastard?!
The woman he kiIIed was your girIfriend, right?
You shouId be thanking that cop over there.
I ratted him out. I testified that it wasn't seIf-defense.
Their questioning is aIways dramatic.
A cIear structure with a twist at the end.
Did you buy a present for her?
I don't do that stuff
aIthough I have something picked out.
Which is...?
If I teII you, wiII you Iet me go?
I aIways wondered...
Is Detective Choi reaIIy mad or is he acting?
Don't you worry about that. Just stop pIaying poker
before you Iose your entire saIary, got that?
Have you ever hit a man before?
Pardon?
Have you ever hit someone and feIt great about it?
No.
How did it make you feeI after you got beaten up by Cho?
It feIt terribIe.
So much that you couId kiII him?
Did you ever hit him before?
- No. - Ever?
- No, Never. - What about cursing?
It's not a crime. You know that.
I've never hit him or cursed at him
or ratted him out Iike you.
Let's stop. He says he hasn't done any of that.
And you! Have you ever Iaid a finger on him?
- Not once. - Did you hear that?
He's never Iaid a finger on the victim.
- Just one more thing. - What!
You owe the dead man some money.
How much?
What's that got to do with this?
Just answer my question
unIess you're hiding something from me.
30 grand.
30 grand?
I shouId have borrowed some money from him.
How's it possibIe to borrow money from someone who's about to die?
Mister, can I just go?
I need to get my mom a birthday cake.
How'd it go?
Give me one week. I'II get a confession out of him.
- And, you? - I'm not entireIy convinced.
I smeII something but it's not enough.
There's something more to this.
Something more?
Are you sure he's our kiIIer?
Yes, I am. Without a doubt.
What happened to the CCTV footage from the victim's apartment?
It's a bitjumbIed up.
But, we'II have it before the end of the day.
JackaI's sniffing around Iike a wiId dog.
We don't want him to find our kiIIer first and shred him into pieces.
Yes, sir!
We can't hear you, girIs!
Yes, sir!
You met Cho, didn't you?
What the heII did you do with him?
You wanna know?
I can't heIp you unIess you teII me everything.
We found your earring at the crime scene
and a wine gIass with your Iipstick.
So, you want to know about it?
Cho's brother has gone crazy
swearing he'II find the kiIIer himseIf.
I must know exactIy what happened in order to heIp you
every detaiI about who you met and what you did.
Is that what you want?
What I did yesterday and who I met?
What I want to know is how my IittIe girI died
and what you were doing that day! That's what I want to know!
Ji-yeon.
Ji-yeon, pIease! Let's taIk about this.
How's that going to change anything?
Don't wear those earrings!
Or the Iip coIor.
You gotta get rid of the cIothes you wore yesterday, too!
You're not as so smart after aII.
You've got the wrong man.
We have the evidence, witnesses and the statements.
At this moment, he is our prime suspect.
Both you and I know that he's not the man.
What makes you so sure?
Ever stabbed a man before?
WeII...
Thrusting a knife into a body isn't as simpIe as puIIing a trigger.
The stabber and the stabbed are one body
just Iike sex. Look!
My brother had he back toward the kiIIer
when he received the first bIow.
My brother feII to the ground but
he wasn't dead yet.
WhiIe he was stiII aIive and kicking the kiIIer stabbed him in his heart.
Did you see it happen? You taIk as if you were there.
I've done it my share of times.
Concentrate!
I'II expIain it again.
It's the spIatter from the first stab
he received whiIe standing up.
It's round
and has smooth edges.
The shorter the distance the smoother its edge wiII be.
PeopIe Iike us can teII about the stabber just by Iooking at the bIood drops.
Whoever gave the first stab was not a professionaI.
He didn't manage to give a fataI stab on the first attempt.
An indecisive weak bastard who has never used a knife in his Iife.
Byun Seok-jun has been in jaiI three times.
A man Iike that Iives by his knife. He can't have given him this bIow.
Detective, this is our area of expertise.
The kiIIer is a non-professionaI.
Take my word for it and don't waste any more time.
I've aIways want to ask you. What is it that you're chewing?
Kopi Luwak.
The cats excrete the seed
after digesting the coffee beans.
Indigenous dry their excrement
to get Kopi Luwak.
WouId you Iike one?
I'II pass.
And next time, don't come in here unIess you're summoned...
so, I'm not confused.
The first bIood drop feII from about 5 ft roughIy
where Cho's heart wouId be.
And the second ones were spIattered from juguIar vein.
That was after he feII on the ground.
ExactIy as JackaI said.
WouId you say the kiIIer was a man who's not famiIiar with knives?
I couIdn't teII.
We don't know for sure if it was a maIe
It couId have been a woman.
I agree.
I cannot teII concIusiveIy if the kiIIer was a maIe or a femaIe.
Over there!
Oh my...
You're okay cutting up dead bodies and you're scared of cockroaches?
PIease! Get rid of it, Now!
You're screwed up.
No, not there. Dump it in the bin.
It's the bad feng-shui.
Hey, you're pretty and you've got a nice body.
So, go on dates in the weekends
instead of spending aII your time here.
You're not eating?
Why do you aIways wait 3 minutes?
And... you did it on purpose, didn't you?
What?
The wine gIass... you know, with pink-vioIet stain.
You pushed around my nerves to break the gIass, right?
What are you accusing me of?
Fine, if it wasn't the case. Eat up.
I'm eating...
The same shit that you're eating, asshoIe!
You found it? In the storage room?
Okay! Good job.
It's game over.
They found the footage.
- You can't go in there. - That's aII right. I can.
No-one is aIIowed without a cIearance.
What's the matter with you?
- Detective Kim! - Hey! What's up?
What brings you here?
I have something to check.
Why don't you come in?
- This guy's being a pain. - Step aside, proby!
- But, he can't - What!
They're running a strict poIicy. It'II Ioosen up in a few days
and, I'm considering appIying for homicide.
ReaIIy? We'II soon be working together, then.
I'II Iook forward to it so much.
Sure. Thanks, man.
Detective Kim!
Detective Kim?
Detective Kim.
Here you are. Are you in charge of Cho case?
Yeah... I think I saw a button at the scene. I couIdn't get it out of my head.
There was no button. There was some kind of a tape though.
You mean the CCTV footage? It's not here.
Detective Choi took it with him earIier.
Sir.
Where have you been?
We've been waiting for you.
Sorry I'm Iate.
Take a seat. Start the tape.
Yes.
The person on this footage is most IikeIy to be our kiIIer, right?
Most IikeIy? He is the kiIIer
- Isn't that right? - Sure.
Press pIay.
We're waiting.
It's the button in the middIe, with an arrow.
Do security check of aII in the footage.
AbsoIuteIy.
From here is the time of crime.
What the heII?
- What's going on? - I think it's deIeted.
What's wrong with you?
I've not been feeIing too weII.
That's what I feeI when you guys give me troubIes
and, make up with Choi.
Have a drink or a fight.
Stop acting Iike suIky chicks.
It Iooks Iike we'II settIe it soon.
HeIIo, IittIe feIIa!
We used to come here a Iot with Su-hyun, remember?
Is that why you wanted to see me?
Things are not Iooking good I toId you about Cho's brother.
I don't know what he's up to. Let's steer cIear of him anyhow.
I'II take care of the visa.
You reaIIy think I kiIIed that man?
That's not important.
What's important is that you
Ieave safeIy for America.
So, I fIee to America... WiII that make me happy?
WiII that sort out everything?
What's important is you and me
and our dead daughter!
Ji-yeon, pIease...
HeIIo?
No, I'm on my way.
I'II be there soon.
HeIIo! HeIIo! HeIIo!
WeIcome to EverIand!
WouId you Iike to buy a chocoIate!
- How much is it? - A doIIar.
PIease buy one more.
If you buy two, you get a bonus.
Here.
You bought two, so I'II give you a bonus.
That's okay. I'II take it next time.
I've got to go. I'm Iate for practice.
Go to America with me.
Let's start over, there.
You gotta give me another chance.
We can have a chiId again.
Did you Iike the bonus?
Who is this?
You bought two chocoIates from me.
By the way, your wife so hot!
SIender women have tiny breasts
but your wife has big titties.
What's it feeI Iike touching them?
Does it give you a hard-on?
Women with big titties Iike that make kiIIer moans, don't they?
Of course...
Hey, do you have any more chocoIates?
I don't know... I think you're aII right
I was going to hang up if you didn't answer.
You do it at Ieast 3 times a week, right?
That's the minimum.
You're the man. Don't hang up!
But, I prefer soft touch to rough.
What do you Iike better?
I Iike both.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm sorry.
Are you mad at me? Don't be...
I'II give you another bonus after I hang up.
I might send one to Mr. JackaI as weII.
He bought two chocoIates for me.
Why don't I send one to the Homicide, too whiIe I'm at it?
Hey. I can'tjust take from you. Is there anything I can do for you?
More than that, it's getting...
What?
...more and more interesting.
- It's a woman. - Freeze it there!
We can't see the face.
Can you restore it?
I won't know for sure
but, I'II what I can do for tomorrow morning.
It's getting more and more interesting.
And, there's a witness who saw a woman.
Isn't that right, Kim?
That's right. I didn't pay much attention because he was a junkie.
Get the witness' ID.
Yes, sir
- You knew aII aIong... - What...
...that I wasn't the kiIIer.
WaIk it off, man. You know how it works here.
I'm pissed off because I know
how the cops make a criminaI out of an innocent man.
You Iocked me up on purpose, bastard!
Man... the IittIe bastard has a temper.
The onIy way to deaI with them is a good smack.
Here.
You know what, though? I actuaIIy agree with the punkass.
What do you mean?
That you Iocked him up on purpose.
What are you taIking about, man?
I'II be on the move soon.
Who knows? I may be abIe to pay you back.
You were haIf right and haIf wrong.
It wasn't a professionaI but an ordinary woman.
Yeah... Give it to me, baby.
The woman's face was bIurred on purpose.
It means an eye witness exists.
More...
Kim is hiding something.
If the kiIIer is a woman, she couId be connected to him.
Yeah... that's reaIIy good. Keep going...
Kim got the witness to go into hiding.
She is someone that he has to go so far out to protect.
A bit more!
Kim's wife is going to America in five days.
It's the safest pIace.
He aIso got the witness to go into hiding.
AII right!
His wife's Iast concert is on tonight.
Find that witness and bring him to me!
Where are you now?
Someone's foIIowing me.
I toId you to Ieave the town.
I came here to catch the train but, they foIIowed me here.
Who?
They're coming towards me. What do I do?
I can't beIieve this is the Iast concert.
Step aside!
What...
Yes, boss.
This way, come on!
Sis!
Why did you run so fast?
I onIy wanted to her face.
Hey, the woman you saw at the apartment, is she here?
She is. The pretty Iady...
Show me who that is.
