[Gap Dong]
[Episode 12]
Whose is it?
Dr. Han's?
Badge no. 83-5045 wasn't...
...for Dr. Han…
No?
- Then who? - Well.
In 1983...
[Yang Chul Gon]
…Mr. Yang received it.
You sure? The badge is…
…Mr. Yang's?
I checked many times.
What is the badge anyway?
[Iltan Police Station Yang Chul Gon]
I was Gap Dong.
You were Gap Dong?
Yes. Me too.
I was Gap Dong too.
That makes no sense.
How can Gap Dong look for Gap Dong?
What do you mean?
You committed all 9 crimes?
When I said...
...there could be 2 or 3 Gap Dongs...
…I was talking about myself.
What is it, honey?
Nothing much. Scary Tiger's at it again.
Is Mr. Yang suspecting you?
I said no.
Looking for this?
A badge is like a cop's name tag.
There was blood on Mr. Yang's badge...
...and you hid it for him.
Shouldn't you explain this?
I thought it was a trap.
A trap?
[Confession Statement]
Today at 2AM...
...I was on stakeout...
...to catch Gap Dong despite my suspension.
[20 years ago, 7th case crime day]
Gyeonggi Police are hiring 15,000 more people...
...to solve the Iltan serial murder case.
Those who report suspects...
...will now receive $50,000 instead of $20,000.
On the dark rainy night...
...I chased after the person dressed in a man's raincoat.
Thinking I was Gap Dong...
...the victim fell below a river bank trying to run away.
Unfortunately when I had reached her...
...she had stopped breathing.
I don't think my mistake can...
...ever be forgiven.
Premeditated or not...
...I am prepared to accept any kind of punishment.
May 26, 1995.
Yang Chul Gon.
Known as a copycat...
...Ryu Tae Oh left for Zurich at 21:00.
The day after tomorrow is the forewarned 7th crime day…
…so hopefully the 7th case will not occur.
But I'll explain...
...about the case just in case.
May 26, 1995 around 2AM.
Due to sudden rain…
…Han went out to tend to her pepper plants.
She was killed below the river bank.
The crucial items are her rainboots, raincoat...
...and electric wire.
Fishing knot and muzzle.
I thought it was another Gap Dong case.
Then…
But it was Yang's who was suspended then.
No. 83-5045.
I saw his reinstatement petition.
So you hid it on purpose?
I wanted to hide it for him…
…and I had to.
The victim had...
...the badge.
As if for show.
As if to target Yang.
Target?
If someone were to catch Gap Dong...
...it would be Yang.
Why didn't you reveal everything then?
Even the president was...
...pressuring us to find Gap Dong.
If hard evidence came up...
...you couldn't avoid the accusation.
Back then…
…it would have been the death penalty.
I'm still wondering…
…if I made the right decision.
The crime method was identical.
Excuse me.
I did some research and found the 7th case unique.
The decisive reason for death was from a fall...
...not strangulation.
I don't know if that matters much now.
Yeah, it's not like the 7th case will happen.
Yes.
[Ha Mu Yeom]
You should come arrest me.
So...
...you both mistook each other for Gap Dong.
Yeah, so she ended up dying from the fall.
I heard from Mr. Han.
He firmly believes it was a trap.
Gosh.
I never treated him well…
But what's with the badge?
Why was it in the victim's hand?
Police…
I killed her trying to catch Gap Dong.
The moment she stopped breathing…
- …I was out of my mind. - You should've confessed right away.
But I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I drank alcohol to pluck up the courage.
But I realized it wasn't necessary.
What do you mean?
I had left...
...my badge at the scene.
I don’t understand.
You're saying...
...she died due to a misunderstanding-related accident.
But Gap Dong's signature was there.
It wasn't just a falling accident.
Yeah.
That's what makes me go crazy.
When I went to submit this confession statement...
...that case had already...
…become the 7th case.
[Confession Statement, Yang Chul Gon]
Then Gap Dong had been watching you in the accident?
Yes.
When I was waiting in ambash to catch him…
…Gap Dong was watching me.
Having fun…
Gap Dong...
After I left the scene...
...he held a ritual over the dead body…
…for himself.
Then Gap Dong had been watching you in the accident?
Yes.
When I was waiting in ambash to catch him…
…Gap Dong was watching me.
Having fun…
Gap Dong...
After I left the scene...
...he held a ritual over the dead body…
…for himself.
The 7th case fishing knot...
...was a ritual, not a signature.
Why didn't you submit this statement?
It's raggedy. You must've carried it with you always.
The moment I catch Gap Dong…
…I wanted to pay for my mistake then.
So stubborn…
What are you concerned about?
Go tell Mr. Cha now.
If you don’t want...
...a spot on your detective record.
Ha Mu Yeom.
Don’t let it happen to you too.
If things get entangled trying to catch Gap Dong...
…your life will get entangled too.
You want some boiled chicken?
Weren't you two enemies?
Nah.
Geez.
This was what you wanted to know so badly.
The blood on my father's jacket.
I loved this boiled chicken.
Since I kept nagging him when we were poor...
...he stole someone's chicken.
But as you know…
…since he's a bit slow…
…he couldn’t tell me…
…that he'd actually stolen the chicken.
The blood on the jacket…
…was chicken blood.
Since he stole the chicken after all and stealing…
…is bad.
You were right.
I suspected my father.
That's why I burned it...
...not knowing it was chicken's blood.
I made my father's innocence...
...unprovable…
…for good.
That was it?
The big secret…
We're in the same boat.
We live in guilt...
...because of Gap Dong.
If it weren't for that guilt…
…I could've given up...
...on catching him long ago.
Whose is it?
Dr. Han's?
[# Living together]
Her real name is Kim Jae Hee.
Witness to the old 9th case.
Oh, my son in law...
[Matilda]
Are you sleeping?
It's late. Is everything ok?
Just because.
I'm worried about you.
Me?
Are you doing well?
Yeah.
You know Ryu left?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm a police station guide now.
Yeah? That's wonderful.
Can you call me too...
...if you or the kids need help?
Sure… Thanks…
Can you call me too?
Sure..
Unfortunately when I had reached her...
...she had stopped breathing.
I don't think my mistake...
...can ever be forgiven.
Premeditated or not...
...I will take punishment for homicide.
Yang Chul Gon.
Is that true, Yang?
I'm so sorry.
It wasn't voluntary...
...nor even involuntary manslaughter.
It was an accident due to a misunderstanding.
It's not an issue for punishment.
What do you think?
Some parts are legally disputable.
He was doing investigations during suspension.
But the statute of limitations has already expired.
Yeah.
The statute of limitations has expired...
...just like the Gap Dong case.
Since criminal punishment is impossible...
...it's an ethical issue now.
Ethical issue?
It's an accident that happened, trying to catch Gap Dong.
If you hold him responsible…
That's my point.
No one suspects Yang's intentions.
- Punishing him would be… - Well.
Those involved, go out for now.
How did it go?
I'll wait for the results.
The statute of limitations has expired.
Why didn't you just let it go?
I told him to do it.
How could we punish Gap Dong later if we apply the expiration to me?
I just feel bad...
...we couldn’t catch him.
What? Dismissal?
This sucks.
He's fired without catching Gap Dong.
The dude was really fired?
He must feel miserable.
I'll ask since we're close now.
What will you do with Gap Dong if you catch him?
That was my question.
I'm the real Gap Dong.
I'll explain the 7th case.
At the river bank…
You're not Gap Dong! Don't lie.
Ok, you can be Gap Dong.
Since you want it so much.
You don't have to tell me I was fired.
I know I can't go back anyway.
She was only 25.
I only spent a few days with her...
...when she was alive.
Why was I so insane?
Since you had to catch him before the expiration.
We only had...
...a period of 15 years.
Although it's increased to 25 years now.
It can't be applied retrospectively anyway.
I only had...
...a period of 25 years…
…with my daughter also.
Iltan Police Station.
Huh? Airline company? Why?
What?
Excuse me?
Shouldn't we fly back?
Fuel?
We can make it.
It's expired but we need to reveal him to the world.
They're curious what he looks like.
Now I want to catch him...
...regardless of the expiration.
You stop playing tag with Gap Dong too.
You know who's the wisest when gambling?
The guy who wins and leaves, of course.
No. The winner comes back.
The guy who loses much leaves
The one who doesn't, compromises.
Those who lose everything like me…
- So you… - No.
I'll catch Gap Dong and show you.
I'm different from you.
I won't lose...
...anyone or anything.
Hi, Wife.
What? 7th case?
Hello.
What's going on?
The crazy dude, Ryu commited the 7th case.
No way. He left the country.
- He went to Switzerland last night. - He's coming back now.
Hurry up!
Why?
Why are you returning?
Who knows?
You could be my Sonia.
Why are you asking me?
Just because…
…you could be a brake for me.
Maria.
What's going on?
Turn on the news.
Ryu Tae Oh…
Taehyeon Group chairman's son, Ryu is suspected to have…
...murdered a flight attendant on his flight to Switzerland.
He was just arrested at TN370...
...which returned to Incheon Airport.
What's the reason?
Psychopaths can be that scary?
Where are you?
Why you…
Hey you!
I knew you'd get caught.
But I didn't know it would this soon.
You knew you'd get caught. Then why…
I don't know either.
He's coming now.
I don't understand why he's doing this.
He's not crazy. Why…
Doesn't Ryu Tae Oh look fine?
That's why he's even more dangerous.
Actually...
...he asked me to leave with him.
To become his brake.
I said no.
If I'd gone with him...
...would he not have killed anyone?
It's not your fault.
Whatever he said...
...you're not at fault.
Ok?
Promise me.
Whatever happens...
...don't blame yourself.
Are you here to see a celebrity or what?
How come both of you are here?
Please take care of Ji Ul. She seems shocked.
Sure.
We'll do the interrogations.
And you do the psychoanalysis.
As you know, he's not a mental patient.
He's a rational...
...and smart psychopath.
He commited the crime in the plane.
That could be disadvantageous to us.
He could...
...explain it...
...as dillusion.
We have to prevent that by all means.
Are you going to be ok?
Yes.
You're strong. I'm glad to see that.
Security cameras?
Yes.
They only have them near the cockpit.
Nothing from the passengers' seats or pantry.
Will he go free as innocent...
...according to the presumption of innocence?
It's the airport police.
They're asking if the other passengers can leave.
What should we do? Reporters are calling.
Mr. Cha, let's talk.
There's an informant with evidence.
But he only wants to give it to Mr. Ha.
Anonymously.
What's he thinking?
It's weird.
He seemed...
...to want to stop when he was leaving.
I can't understand why he committed the 7th case...
...when knows he'd get caught.
If you could understand, he wouldn't be a psychopath.
The Casanova Killer, Paul John Knowles...
...kept murdering until the FBI killed him.
In a state of despair at the end...
...which we can't understand.
But there must've been a reason.
That he had to come back.
I need to...
...find that out.
Did you...
...talk with anyone in the plane?
Anything that bothered you?
Aren't you going to...
...the restroom?
It's been hours already.
It's ok since I'm wearing a diaper.
We don't go during interrogation…
...even though it causes bladder infection.
How come?
Why is that?
If you tell me why you killed innocent people…
…I'll tell you why profilers don't go to the restroom.
That wasn't planned, eh?
That wasn't the 7th case. Right?
It came after the 6th, so isn't it the 7th?
No.
That's not what I think.
Then what do you think?
What I saw in your eyes was…
…despair.
Despair?
Yeah.
Your face used to be...
...excited before.
But now it's…
I noticed Ryu Tae Oh.
It was weird how he didn't come out of the pantry.
But I was too scared to film him for a long time.
Thank you so much.
This is crucial help.
We will protect your identity.
I have a question.
How come you only wanted to give it to Mr. Ha?
Just because.
He bent over backwards to catch Gap Dong...
...so I trust him.
The world is a dangerous place to live…
…not because of the people who are evil…
...but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.
Einstein said that.
If everyone were like you…
I need to go to a seminar.
But one thing's good.
Getting to see your face again.
Did you feel like you became a fool?
You felt upset the fake Gap Dong deceived you?
That's why you revealed your madness.
Without knowing it yourself.
Stop trying…
…to understand.
You will never understand anyway.
What was he like after killing her?
Nothing…
He went back to his seat.
You don’t remember his words or actions?
He was cursing to himself.
Why curse after killing someone innocent?
Can you tell me the details?
I think he hit his armrest with his fist.
As if he was angry.
But why?
Your info will be...
...more important than evidence.
You must keep him for 48 hours?
The warrant will be dismissed anyway. Let him go now.
Why the fuss...
...when it'll be dismissed anyway?
Why? Afraid Ryu left any traces?
Are you?
Hello?
Ok.
There's evidence.
One of the passengers filmed him.
Send an invoice to Taehyeon Industry.
Asking for a higher legal fee.
Because it'll be a hard fight.
Is that true?
There's evidence.
How unlike you.
Is that true?
There's evidence.
How unlike you.
Good job.
Nah. It's not like I found him.
He acknowledged your tenacity.
You did a good job.
Actually...
...it's more meaningful than proof.
What do you mean?
The informant said something.
I think his hint is key.
Maybe Ryu committed...
...this 7th case by accident...
- ...not intentionally. - Why do you think so?
The items were similar to the old 7th case.
The earphones are similar to the electric wire used for strangulation.
Ryu was angry after he committed it.
Maybe he felt guilty.
It felt different from before.
I'm not smart, but I can read minds.
You'll mess things up.
Don't read into it.
How is Mr. Yang?
He'll be glad by this news.
What brings you here?
I have nothing much to do anyway.
I wanted to thank you too.
Nah.
You're curious about Tae Oh, eh?
Take a break.
Leave Ryu and Gap Dong to your subordinates.
Let's just give them directions.
Left, right.
There's proof this time.
You think he'll confess?
Geez.
You wiped there already.
You wiped it 3 times.
- I did? - Dr. Oh.
Can we talk?
The young Gap Dong was caught.
Why are you so stressed?
I'm worried it will end like this.
If the old Gap Dong is...
...forgotten with Ryu being caught...
That won't happen.
The truth will come out.
One can never hide it forever.
So hang in there.
That way Mu Yeom can hold up too.
He's probably...
...worried just like you.
Ok.
[Iltan Police Station Book Café]
Is Mr. Ha busy these days?
Huh?
He asked for books and hasn't taken them for days.
Ok. I'll go over now.
Are you ok?
I'm ok. Go on.
Sorry.
Hand him over to another doctor.
Ok?
How should I explain that evidence?
Is there no way out this time?
Don't talk to Dr. Oh.
Don’t explain the circumstances either.
I won't. There's no way to explain it.
Your mother is very perplexed.
She wants me to find a solution.
But I don’t know what to do.
Except for the extreme.
The extreme?
Disappearing?
What should I do?
I don't think I can leave this game...
...since Ryu was caught.
- What will they do? - He'll be at the jail clinic until the trial....
...since the case happened during probation.
Maybe things aren't what they seem like with this case.
Maybe both the old and new 7th cases are...
- ...a turning point. - A turning point?
You have more evidence or something?
No.
The headquarters...
...think it is the intended 7th case too.
But I keep thinking it's not.
"The 7th case wasn't intentional" is my hypothesis.
What do you think?
What are you about to say now?
Ha Mu Yeom.
- Now you've become a real detective. - What?
If you've established a hypothesis, you should move.
I'm the real Gap Dong.
Real Gap Dong?
I'm Gap Dong.
Gap Dong…
Me.
Nice to see you, Gap Dong.
You're my god.
My hero.
What is this?
That girl…
Such a klutz…
Excuse me.
Here.
Crybaby.
The judge was like… Oh!
Sir.
What's with your expression?
Oh.
You're upset Mr. Ha caught Ryu?
[Whose letter is this?]
It was you, eh, Young Ae?
What?
Didn't you write that letter for Mad Monk?
What are you talking about?
Guide!
Is it yours?
You're the crybaby.
What?
This letter.
[Whose letter is this?]
[You might not know, but I like you…]
Did you meet Ryu?
He won't meet anyone.
- Did you come to ask about him? - Why?
You think I came to see you?
Come on.
Ryu is caught. Why the long face?
What? You don't want to be overexcited?
Shall I say hurray for you?
Like this? Hurray! Hurray!
You're really ok?
You might not know, but I like you…
I'm telling you in every way possible except through words.
But...
...you're absorbed in investigations.
How would you notice that?
Love at these times...
...could be a luxury.
Still...
...love helps me get through these hard times.
Only love…
[I'll see you later… From Crybaby…]
[Mad Monk, where are you?]
Don't answer that.
I can't stop now.
[Jail Clinic]
- Sorry, I'm busy now… - It's an emergency.
Let me talk to Dr. Oh.
A prisoner is causing a commotion.
Terrible timing.
Who's doing so at this hour?
Is it Ryu Tae Oh?
He's been looking for Dr. Oh.
He wants to tell her something.
I'm telling you since he might confess.
What's wrong with you? Calm down!
Tell Oh Maria to come.
Bring Oh Maria now!
Open the door.
What? No, it's dangerous.
Please open it.
[Dr. Oh]
[Me: I'm worried for you]
Promise me...
...you'll meet him as Dr. Oh...
...not as Kim Jae Hee.
Let me know when you're ready.
I'll wait for you.
Where should I start?
- 1st case? - Anywhere.
Anything you want.
I shouldn’t say this.
I think I'll regret confessing.
No. You'll feel free.
You called me because you needed to get it off your chest.
Didn't you want to tell someone?
And that someone is you…
…fortunately.
Yeah.
Let's start with fun stuff.
Your hero...
...Gap Dong.
I was glad...
...to meet him.
[Mu Yeom]
He had incredible self-control.
He was a god to me.
But...
...I learned I couldn't stop...
...on my own.
Ok.
I'll tell you what happened at the 9th case.
Is Dr. Oh ok?
The guy who loses less compromises.
