Gap Dong
[Previously]
And if he reappears, I'll catch him.
I don't waste time like you!
It's not Ha Il Shik's son.
I'll end my career catching him.
The statute of limitations expired!
Jan. 18, 2011.
[I'm the real Gap Dong] He wants to start again.
I wonder if Gap Dong hasn't changed.
I'm sure he's transformed himself.
How will you find a dead guy?
We have traces left by Gap Dong.
Run the DNA tests. Gap Dong's son's also.
Gap Dong is your dad. Monster's son…
Mad Monk, your eyes look great.
- I need to get on someone! - Come on.
There's no rapist, murderer or psycho?
[Episode 2]
You were… [Episode 2]
You were…
…Gap Dong.
You were right here all along?
Nice to see you, Gap Dong.
You're my god.
My hero.
That knot…
…is a masterpiece.
[Ryu Tae Oh's Resume]
What did you do before? You didn't say on your resume.
- I studied. - What?
Stuff… I was interested in.
You give out a good impression.
You can learn to become a barista.
Alright.
Guess it's my lucky day.
Rock...
Scissors...
Paper.
Rock, scissors, paper.
Hello.
Here.
Hello.
Yes.
- You got it? - Yeah?
- Yes. - Let's go.
Pass.
Hello.
Mommy!
Moms, pass.
Hello.
You want to be a sketch model?
Model?
Your face would be perfect for my new character!
I don't hit on everyone.
Sounds fun.
Is that an OK? Yes!
Oh, wait.
Got it.
What are you doing here?
I didn't know I'd spend X-mas like this.
Who are you flirting with now?
I gotta go so I'll see you next time.
I can meet you here, eh?
The new doctor works so hard.
She listens to their stories and history.
Is he Gap Dong?
Come here. Let's do it.
I'll prove that you're a loser.
[Oh Maria]
[Patient ID Cards]
What will you do to take responsibility?
After making me like this...
You should at least come visit.
OK, I'll see you there.
Geez, why'd you bring her?
I need to get rest.
She got caught luring a pretty boy.
He'd think I'm playing around.
Don't worry, it's just business.
You're a hero at school. I heard you even gave a wink.
Man, I'm popular.
Did that weird girl visit?
Weird girl?
The girl who got him stabbed. You almost died because of her.
Don't worry,
I'll meet up with her and ask for hospital bills.
What? Meet up?
Who? That girl?
I'm sorry.
I had a tough day.
I want to...
...go back to the center.
It's that tough?
You can pay my hospital bills with a credit card. [Ha Mu Yeom]
Why is she ignoring my text?
Sorry, I'll pay you back next time.
- I have an urgent patient today. - At this hour?
[Our vehicles can't go to the requested location.]
[Son: Come home soon, mommy~]
Someone sent a huge X-mas gift to the homicide division.
Don't you know I'm a patient, you dumb wife.
I don't have time to chat with you.
- Hang up - It's not a joke.
It's a real homicide!
Then go catch him. Don't call me.
Where's Scary Tiger?
Well.
The body looks…
You'll have to see it yourself.
What's wrong with it?
It's a snowman.
A snowman lying down.
Are you listening?
I hope it's not an X-mas nightmare.
- I'm sorry. So much work for you... - It's not like you killed her.
- You can't come in. - I'm Detective Ha. Move it!
- You can't. - What the…
Leave it.
What if he contaminates the crime scene?
Hey! Don't you know Mad Monk?
He's an insane dude.
Move it!
Take a close shot of this knot.
It's the signature that Gap Dong left.
The intricate knot to tie the victim up.
His personal seal.
Is it an intricate knot?
You were alive…
Gap Dong.
Merry christmas.
You're looking better than yesterday.
Thanks to you.
Were you worried about me?
I'd like an Americano.
Please sign.
Hold on.
You gave me 9.
I feel good today.
It's ok. I'll lose it anyway.
This is… fun.
1, 2, 3…
9…
10…
Completing something…
It's rewarding.
Rock, scissors, paper.
What are you looking for?
Footprints? There won't be any.
I'm not kidding.
They won't say but everyone's thinking Gap Dong.
Don't touch!
Don't!
What's wrong?
It started here.
Started?
He got her here.
Please don’t kill me.
I'll do anything. Don't kill me.
I'll do whatever you say.
Please don't kill me.
My youngest son is only 5.
I have kids at home.
I'll do whatever you say.
I'll do anything.
Please don't kill…
- You can't go in. - Hey!
Don't you remember me, Mad Monk?
I know, but I got orders.
I can't let anyone in.
I'm not just anyone. I'll just take a look.
Only the Crime Scene Investigation agents can come in.
Show him what you've got, wife!
He won't let a detective do his job!
I told you, things are serious.
Let go! I'll just take a quick look!
Take a few more shots here.
- What about the taxi driver? - There's no info on that.
- Anything missing? - There's no cash in her wallet…
Any sexual abuse?
She was tied naked, so it doesn't seem like a robbery.
Any boyfriend or husband?
Her husband was home at that time and we're looking into boyfriends.
- You can't go in! - I'll just take a look!
- No! - Let go!
Is there a sock in her mouth?
How'd you know?
And there's an intricate knot.
The criminal.
I mean you're the criminal.
What are you saying?
I'm just saying because you didn’t even look at the scene.
Detective Ha, what did you do yesterday?
Hope you have an alibi.
Sir, that's a bad joke.
You guys have a party here?
Do a better job controlling the scene.
Investigations are important for murders.
Don't even let people in without work clothes.
Yes, sir.
Sir…
Can't you let me in?
A patient should stay in the hospital.
I wish I can.
But I think there's Gap Dong's personal seal.
I want to see if it's fake or not.
And if you do…
...could you tell?
You know what's worse than a dog at the scene?
A cumbersome detective who can't even smell.
I have a good sense of smell.
You know I do.
That dude is always blabbering…
You should go back to the hospital.
- Yeah, go! - Let go!
- Get a grip or else. - What? Let go!
Let go!
- There's a knot? - Yes. Here.
- Sock in her mouth? - Yes.
How did Ha know?
He used to be obsessed as a Gap Dong expert.
He said he was sick of it...
...but he hasn't forgotten him all yet.
Anything to get DNA from?
We'll have to check for semen but...
...there is some foreign substance on the body.
Your face looks full of worry.
Why are you still lingering around?
Is it him?
Shouldn't you tell me that much?
For the son whose father died from being accused as Gap Dong.
- Nothing's for sure yet. - You believe so.
That it's him.
You said you were tired of Gap Dong. So mind your own business.
I can't. Your finger and my arm are on the line.
Curiosity will kill the cat…
...but is it him?
You're so excited.
What…
You think if Gap Dong is proven alive...
...your dad will be proven innocent?
You actually wish it were Gap Dong.
Right?
You're laughing?
You're scared.
Scary Tiger is scared of Gap Dong.
Don't worry yet.
They called this the Iltan Serial Rape/Murder Case.
But it's not serial yet.
Serial?
You want it to become serial?
Don't be so sensitive.
A lunatic could be copying Gap Dong.
Even if it's identical to the 1st Gap Dong case…
…don't worry unless it becomes serial.
I won't have you cut your finger yet.
Iltan Serial Rapist Murderer Gap Dong.
5'6'' to 5'8''.
Currently 39-46.
Slim to average build. Tall nose, slanted eyes.
According to the witness…
...soft hands.
Pretty doctor, I'll switch places with you.
I haven't found the hands I like.
I wanna be "it" until I find them.
He's always busy to avoid this.
That was close.
Did you see his underwear?
[Iltan Serial Rapist Murderer Wanted] [Reward $10,000]
There's a ghost that lives on the hill behind our house.
The ghost loves to eat virgins.
I didn't do it.
I really didn't do it.
I'll catch him…
Gap Dong.
Chief.
I'll return to work.
We can't let Ha work on it.
He became a detective because of Gap Dong...
He has a special relation to the case.
I mean Ha.
I'll let Yang decide.
Thank you.
He'll be on sick leave for the rest of this case.
People die on X-mas too.
There are so many cases.
What is it this time?
Yeah.
Oh.
OK. I'll catch one…
Alright.
I'll go home as soon as I'm done.
You can't control your wife at all like with fishing.
Yes.
I think...
...he got the intricate knot here.
You have a point.
You start with knots when you learn fishing.
I wonder why Gap Dong used the fishing knot.
It doesn't loosen easily.
It actually becomes tighter as you pull.
I think...
...he started fishing again.
What?
Fishing for people.
It's the same knot as the 1st case.
I've verified it as the spider hitch.
So it's the real Gap Dong?
We can't confirm yet but let's go in that direction.
This is all confidential. Be cautious.
Of course.
Stop talking about Gap Dong.
So many consistencies.
Snowman, X-mas Eve, cakebox, sock.
And…
…fishing knot.
You confirmed it yourself?
Not yet.
But I think they believe it's Gap Dong.
They're not jumping to conclusions?
There's no reason for him to appear suddenly.
Yeah.
Why out of the blue?
This bait...
...isn't working.
[I'm the real Gap Dong]
I wonder about that graffiti.
There are many scenarios.
Someone taking revenge on Yang.
Or your dad's spirit could've done it.
Anyway the worst case scenario is…
It's here.
I missed it.
What's the worst case scenario?
Copycat.
Copycat criminal?
In 2008...
...serial killer Derek Brown from UK was caught.
He copied Jack the Ripper from 120 years ago.
So you think it's a copycat of Gap Dong?
That's why I'm saying it's just a scenario.
But I still don't get some part.
How could he get the knot? It wasn't in the textfiles.
It could be inspiration.
Inspiration?
You haven't watched "The Silence of the Lambs?"
Hannibal Lecter in prison gave inspiration to the killer outside.
Geez, you always go off on a tangent.
That's why they exclude you from cases.
Yeah.
Don't tell people I said that.
They might give me even less work. Especially not to Scary Tiger.
Just go to the scene.
You gotta face it.
I wouldn't be here if I could.
It's a forced sick leave. Because I'm Gap Dong's son.
I retaliated.
I should've acted submissive at least.
You wanna catch him. Frigging bad, as kids say.
It's not too late.
Go beg.
I gotta frigging beg?
If pride is more important, just idle around.
Until Yang calls you.
That's an even bigger hit to my pride.
I might as well…
I'll give it a shot.
[Maria]
Hi. How are you?
Same ol', same ol'.
Is everything OK?
Sure.
I was just bored.
You must be busy. I'll let you go.
All the knots and muzzles were the victims'...
...so there are no clues there.
We found a 270mm foot print.
There's not much else.
He didn't control the scene.
Anyway he's a skilled murderer.
So far, the pattern is identical.
If we find slashes in the genital area...
...we can rule it as a copycat.
Did they start the autopsy?
Someone mentioned Gap Dong.
There's no trace of rape or slashes.
Wasn't that semen?
I don't think it's semen but we'll find out soon.
Let's proceed.
Excuse me.
[Autopsy Results]
[No traces of rape, but cake cream on the genital area, seemingly a fetish]
Cream.
Bastard.
Let me work...
...so I can catch that bastard.
I'll take all your orders.
You can return.
Thank you.
Come back...
...and catch the petty criminals.
You're close with them.
Shall I beg? Or give you my arm?
You know I started my career because of Gap Dong.
It's weird.
You're normally arrogant but you're changed.
Why?
Is there a reason you need to work on this?
It's identical to what your dad did long ago.
Who would do the exact same thing?
What would you think?
What are you thinking?
Suspect.
You hid your dad's crucial evidence.
You could become a suspect in this too.
I'm not gonna beg anymore.
But.
You're really deep…
…in illness.
Get going now.
I don't even want you to be...
...in the autopsy room.
Where are you, Mad Monk? [Ji Ul]
Get some rest. [Ji Ul]
I told you not to do this.
I have a wife.
It's all in here.
Now I get it.
It's a good crime motive.
Gap Dong's son.
You want to continue your dad's story?
You're really dumb.
Why would I finish a bad story?
There are many blank pages.
Maybe you wanna finish it for dumb readers?
That's a wonderful inference.
Then I should keep writing...
...so you can enjoy it.
Anyway the worst case scenario is…
...copycat.
It's all in here.
[22-year old woman]
[S Bus Station]
I just put aside the long ones.
They're nice.
I don't think you can take them all.
The truck's too small for them all.
I'll be back soon. Don't sell it to anyone else.
You need some help?
How could you ride a bike with that arm?
I knew an angel would come by.
This angel will take you home.
Where do you live?
Cute bag.
It's unique.
Where did you get this?
Do you teach here?
Who would come all the way here?
I teach downtown.
This is my warehouse/workshop.
It'll be hard for people to find you.
I come here when I'm tired of the world.
Lying down there...
...makes me feel warm and cozy.
Wanna play a game?
- Game? - Zombie game.
Oh…
Like hide-and-seek?
But you can't.
Are you ok?
Yeah.
I'm feeling better.
That's good.
I thought it was totally broken.
Let's use this as the blindfold.
Choose.
You wanna be the zombie or the person who hides?
Maybe…
...the person?
Too bad.
Wrong choice.
It would've been easier...
...if you were the zombie.

Yay, you're all dead.

No way, girl.

[2nd crime scene]
Is it missing the license plate?
No theft case was reported.
What's wrong?
It just feels fishy.
Shall I send a team over?
You're not working yet, eh?
Mr. Yang is too cruel.
Forced sick leave saying you're Gap Dong's son.
It's ridiculous.
He thinks he's all that.
Don't you agree?
Mr. Ha…
Can you hear me?
Tell him to cut the crap.
Gap Dong is back?
The murder in the news…
It's like my new webtoon became reality.
What's Ha's alibi?
Give me your hand.
This is much better.
Someone can come rescue you.
You will come for me?
You…
Stop serial cases.
Make sure no one's around on the day it happened before.
And Ha shouldn't know about this.
