Forget manipulation.
If you do that...
...Gap Dong will disclose the manipulation.
[Gap Dong 16]
Gap Dong's DNA was damaged to begin with.
Wouldn't he do that to prove he's innocent?
How will you handle that?
And that requires...
...someone's apology.
Who will apologize?
[Crime and Punishment]
Take it. It's yours.
Why?
I don't need it.
Wasn't it...
...heavy?
It was.
So?
Put it down…
- …then. - That's why…
…I threw it out.
[Crime and Punishment]
How did it go?
I'll cross-examine if needed.
[Ryu Tae Oh's Psychoanalysis: Normal]
[Mental exam proved normal condition]
What?
Normal?
Maria.
You...
You want to give me the death penalty?
Who's normal?
Me for believing the Loser was Gap Dong?
The one who killed knowing I'd get caught?
For clinging on to a girl who would never help me?
What on earth is normal?
Maria.
What's the "normal"...
...you're talking about?
You guys are suspecting me too?
You want to go with or without cuffs?
There must be a misunderstanding.
But even if I'm guilty, arresting me after…
…the statute of limitations has expired is illegal!
- Law banning retroactive punishment! - Right.
The statute of limitations for the Iltan Serial Murder cases...
…from '94 to '96 has already expired 3 years ago.
- But… - But…?
…you won't be able to ignore...
...the citizens' safety as a suspect.
Ok, let's go crack the case!
Let's go...
...in cuffs like a man.
What do you mean, the chief is the real culprit?
I'm really shocked too. Let's go.
[Report on Suspect Cha Do Hyeok]
[Kim Eun Ji's Letter]
[Cha Do Hyeok & Choi Mi Ja's Family Register]
[Lee Jeong Suk's Remains Found]
The statute of limitations has expired on Jan. 18, 2011.
Mr. Ha stated the truth...
...on this case must be revealed.
The Criminal Procedure Act has been revised.
Can't we apply retroactive punishment?
The expiration for statute of limitations for the death penalty…
…has been extended from 15 to 25 years.
But we can't randomly apply retroactive punishment.
What about the exceptions of statute of limitations application?
There are a few…
…but it's not applicable to Cha.
There must've been leads for them to request him to go to the police station.
Thet decided on open investigation...
...since Cha is in a postion to easily destroy evidence.
He agreed to 48 hours' confinement...
...so let's see.
- Himself? - Yes.
He's confident he'll be released.
48 hours to go.
If you can't prove I'm guilty by then...
...you'll be considered insane again.
You know that, eh?
You're mighty confident.
You hung in there for 15 years.
48 hours is nothing, eh?
Just keep this in mind.
You only have 48 hours left...
...to become human too.
Let's just go by the rules.
Let's find the other crimes first.
DNA for the future.
This is for investigation into unsolved crimes.
Will you consent?
[DNA (Cha Do Hyeok)]
[DNA Data for Unsolved Crimes]
It could be concluded as malign.
I'm worried...
...about the repercussions.
From now on...
...you can't shield Cha because of his position.
There are 29 pieces of circumstantial evidence in this report.
Provide full support to the investigation.
1 piece of hard evidence is...
...better than 29 circumstancial ones.
[Is a perfect crime possible? Do Hyeok]
Dec. 24, 1993.
Is that when you started to dream…
…of a perfect crime?
The Hillside Stranglers...
...committed serial murders to see…
…if a perfect crime was possible.
- Is that it? - I'm a cop.
What's wrong with preventing a perfect crime?
Don't think of it that way.
Why would I have donated it if I thought it'd cause trouble?
Because...
...you didn't donate it.
The police station janitor did.
Don't you remember?
You were hospitalized...
…when I hit you with my nunchucks the day you killed Lee.
I must've appeared when you were burying her dead body.
You attacked knowing it was me.
I might've died...
...if it weren't for my nunchucks.
That day.
You were burying...
...Lee's body then.
Right?
You forgot to take this book when you were leaving Iltan.
But you didn't think it'd be a problem.
Since you didn't know about the letter.
What did this girl do to you?
Choi Mi Ja. The 1st case victim.
1299-3 Pyeongsan-dong.
You lived at the same address in 1985.
Apparently you were close like siblings.
Choi's dad...
...used to give your mom pocket money.
The dad is a missing person till now.
- Where is he? - How should I know?
You should.
Because it was…
…your first murder victim.
- You smiled? - Keep investigating.
The prick is human trash.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's dead.
That's more like it.
So you killed him…
- …because he's trash? - No.
Instead…
…I became a cop...
...that catches trash.
Did Choi threaten you for killing her dad?
Is that why you took care of her too?
It's me, Yang.
Give me one more chance.
We don’t have time. Who knows?
I'll interrogate him about the 7th case. So…
Then...
...just let me watch.
- Fix the door! Will you? - Yes, sir.
Dang.
Hello?
What do you mean, you could catch him?
There are other crimes?
The statute of limitations could be suspended.
The 3rd statute of limitations is still valid.
You know the 3rd one in the Criminal Procedure Act.
Overseas fleeing? I thought that was inapplicable.
He was short of 30 days out of the 1,245 days.
Tell us what happened.
Ok. He has another passport.
Residency for Malta.
Malta?
Maltese hometown?
Yeah. He got it in 1997 as Steve Chan.
Then he has dual citizenship?
It's different from that.
Anyway the name Cha Do Hyeok doesn't appear...
...in the immigration records.
Good job!
You really had good grades, eh?
The issue is, it all became computerized in 2000...
…so we have to search all of it.
Who will go to the Immigrations Office to work their butt off?
We will go!
I found it!
He left in 1998 with this passport.
- For how many days? - 15 days.
Let's find another 15 days.
The 3rd statute of limitations will be valid.
- Yes. - Hurry.
Why didn't you flee in 1997?
What are you talking about?
You must've gotten ready to flee.
Was it because of a witness?
I just wanted to leave the country.
I became skeptical about my job...
...after the Iltan case.
Bull.
But why didn't you?
I couldn't because of the IMF crisis.
Look into it.
My permanent residency must've expired.
Our jobs as a detective is like that.
If we catch 'em, we've earned our keep.
If not, we take all the blame.
I had...
...an identity crisis then.
Identity crisis on top of IMF?
You got rid of Choi's dad the human trash…
…as well as the daughter to avoid future trouble.
- Right? - Think however you want.
But…
…you think that makes sense?
It doesn't make sense. Does it?
What about cases 2-9?
Why'd you leave a signature?
I guess he's eating regularly.
I went to Choi's home in Pyeongsan-dong.
It was 1-2 days before the 2nd case.
After investing acquaintances of the victim…
…I changed directions...
...to serial murderers.
He knew he was cleared from suspicion for the 2nd case.
Could that be why he needed a signature?
Since the victim was someone he knew?
You scared me!
I heard from Mr. Lee.
Steve Chan, huh?
Not this case. Investigation is still underway.
- Even if it's a scoop… - I'm no fool.
There are tons of scoops.
I know you're interested in big hit.
Yeah, I'm interested.
- Yeah? - I'm a family member of...
...the victim.
The 6th case victim was my mom.
That's all for today.
Dr. Maria.
Bad news?
Nah, good news.
It's so good, I'm restless.
Hello?
Ryu Tae Oh's psychoanalysis?
[Ryu Tae Oh's Psychoanalysis: Normal]
What about this?
I won't depend on you anymore.
I can't trust your judgment.
How come?
No matter how much I think about it...
…Cha Do Hyeok isn't Gap Dong.
Criminals recognize each other right away.
I heard you met with him yesterday.
Did something happen?
He asked me to let him go once.
He's so embarrassed as chief.
He wanted to work with me.
Now I'm sure he's not Gap Dong.
Cha Do Hyeok IS Gap Dong.
I'm disappointed. You too…
You really don't think so or are you feigning ignorance?
You have a complaint with this?
There's a problem.
Tell me specifically where.
Right here.
It says I'm all treated and normal now.
You are normal.
I'm not sure of your mental status.
You think the chief is Gap Dong.
You need treatment too.
You need it now.
How can you deal with the mentally ill...
...when you're ill yourself?
So this is invalid.
Choose.
Either death or freedom.
Freedom?
What kind of freedom?
The freedom to…
…stop.
The loser becomes...
...the hunting dog to catch Gap Dong.
Hunting dog and freedom?
Do I have a choice?
I found one more.
How many days?
Seven.
Then we just need 8 more days?
But we don't have enough time.
- I can't starve to death. - Just hurry up and eat.
Why don't you go eat too?
Geez.
Don't patronize me.
Is it good?
You…
…ask if it's good? Hell no.
Let's talk about fun stuff after you're done.
About the signature.
Let's talk about...
...fun stuff after you're done.
About the signature.
When others said you were Gap Dong…
…I didn't want to believe it. Actually…
- …I couldn't believe it. - Then believe it!
I'm not the one!
I'm starting to get angry.
I felt friggin' bad too.
That it was Cha Do Hyeok.
Why?
Why would I commit a serial murder?
Why on earth?
9 out of 10 psychopaths are...
...unlikely people.
Being an unlikely guy-next-door…
…that was classic.
But I couldn't understand the signature.
Theoretically they are simple.
Mocking the cops.
The Night Stalker...
...used lipstick.
The Grim Reaper put stones in the girls' body.
Cha Do Hyeok is at the same level as those psychopaths?
I'dd believe if you claimed you're a sociopath.
Since there are tons of sociopaths.
But...
...you're saying you're a psychopathic killer...
...like Jack the Ripper or the Zodiac Killer?
That didn't persuade me.
Unless another character called Gap Dong lives inside Cha Do Hyeok.
It was weird.
But...
...things became clear with the "Crime and Punishment" memo…
…and your being acquaitances with the 1st case victim.
Can you explain...
...your signature knot?
Tell me your explanation.
- Sounds interesting. - Didn't you need a signature?
- I needed it? - In order not to get caught.
You had to emphasize your insanity.
Am I wrong?
So you decided to make it a serial case at the 1st case…
…in case you get caught.
So...
...the 2nd victim had to be a stranger.
The only thing in common...
...between the 3-9th cases had to be the signature.
The serial crimes were all committed to cover up the 1st case.
I covered up a murder with other murders?
That's it.
You know the concept clearly since you did it.
Geez.
You threw the bait 15 days after the 1st case.
Why?
Since Scary Tiger came to the old house.
The 2nd case had an identical fishing knot.
The investigation direction changed as you had intended.
As a lunatic's serial crime.
That's why…
…my dad was arrested.
Ok, let's say you're right.
What about the 3rd case?
Why was a signature needed from then on?
Your true insanity kicked in.
Since the 3rd case occurred when my dad the prime suspect was arrested...
…all those guys were going nuts...
...and the media started to recognize you.
You even named it as Gap Dong.
[Crime and Punishment]
Did you ask yourself to commit the crime and avoid the punishment?
"Is a perfect crime possible?"
It was perfect.
Almost.
But…
But…?
If you ask me...
...I'd have to say it's impossible.
You're caught here now.
You're bound to lose everything.
How about killing one more and going to prison?
It must've hurt a lot when I hit you.
Time for payback.
Quit playing around.
Put 'em away.
The signature was a form of disguise?
He did it to disturb investigations...
...just like the pros.
Mu Yeom is closer to revealing Gap Dong's identity.
It's almost time.
He's finally interrogating him after 20 years.
Only 48 hours? This is no opportunity.
It's like a curse...
...that makes you go mad.
We'll have to beg...
...for more time.
Are you asking me to pray?
Well.
When were the heavens on our side?
They won't ignore it.
I'll do it.
I'll lock him up.
What do you mean?
I've been thinking.
I tried to take...
...pity on you.
But it's impossible, crazy prick!
You're a tough girl now.
What?
Mad Monk could be in danger if I don't come?
What could you do in jail?
Just make sure Mad Monk doesn't kill you.
Sorry.
I asked them to threaten you to come.
I had to tell you something.
Whatever.
From now on...
I won't come even if there's a natural disaster.
I will cut all contact with you.
Ok?
Tell me.
Can you tell me?
- What? - Heart.
Like yours.
Who knows.
Maybe I can change with your help.
Wow.
You're not serious, are you?
You smile a lot and cry a lot.
Plus you're rich. With all your sympathy.
So you're the perfect one to tell me.
What's with you?
Ask Maria for that.
I'm not a shrink.
You wanted to believe in me.
You could be…
…the only person.
My mom doesn’t believe in me either.
This is like...
...noblesse oblige.
Rich people should give to the poor.
I'm begging you, you know?
Quiet!
Just leave me alone.
I have nothing to do with you. Ok?
You wanted to...
...believe in me.
[Maria]
Ji Ul.
Listen to me carefully.
Mr. Ha asked me a favor.
We found the old Gap Dong.
Really?
Who is it?
- Cha Do Hyeok. - Huh?
My neighbor?
No way.
I'm thinking of a new webtoon.
A detective is the criminal.
I don't like that.
I prefer the good guy.
You're so young.
You want to believe in people.
But I don't want you to be hurt anymore.
That's why it's so hard...
...for Mr. Ha and I to say this.
But I'm telling you this…
…since he could be...
...released a few hours later.
Are you ok, Ji Ul?
Why is everyone...
...doing this to me?
I just wanted to believe in them.
Did something happen?
I met with Ryu today.
And he…
Let's start.
What's your name?
Ryu Tae Oh.
Nice.
Age?
- 24. - Ok.
- Where are we? - Hankuk Univ. Hospital.
Good job.
Now comb your hair.
You asked for a reanalysis and talked to Ji Ul about her heart or whatever.
What are you up to?
I'm not up to anything.
I must like her.
I miss her.
You want to use Ji Ul?
- For your trial? - It'll work to my advantage.
I'm surprised.
I didn't think...
...she'd tell you first.
Keep away from her.
Jealous?
Aren't you two rivals for love?
You can have Mr. Ha.
I'll have Ji Ul.
I think that's fair.
I don't know what Cha said to you.
But not Ji Ul.
- Why not? - Read my lips.
The moment you lay a finger on her…
…I'll kill you.
What is she to you?
Is she your friend?
Oh, Hye Jin.
You see your dead friend in Ji Ul, eh?
This is your last warning.
Don't pull any tricks with the kid.
Ji Ul.
Hey!
I have a question.
Why did you meet with Ryu?
You too?
You want to use Tae Oh, don't you?
I just asked him to cooperate with investigations.
Rock, scissors, paper.
What was that for?
You were going to kill us anyway. Why set an order?
You can set it yourself.
Stop it please.
This is getting unpleasant.
I don't know how much I look like Gap Dong.
But I'm really not him.
Then I'll ask you another question.
"Did you enjoy winning?"
Why did you ask me that?
I asked you that? When?
In front of the police station while I was waiting for Mr. Ha.
Did you...
...enjoy winning?
Oh, that.
I meant you must've felt good about catching Ryu.
I meant...
- ...you're amazing… - It was a test.
Whether I remembered or not.
You enjoyed it.
No?
Please stop this.
Let's stop here. I regret this.
I thought I could just explain the misunderstanding but this is crazy.
- Now I'm getting mad! - Get mad!
That's normal if you're innocent.
It's normal to throw a fit...
...if you're innocent!
That's not in my nature.
Yeah.
Your calm nature fooled me.
How could you…
…stay calm in this situation?
Then what should I do?
I'm talking with Mu Yeom and you.
You were hurt by Gap Dong.
I'm trying hard to be patient too.
Show your real face.
The face you showed me and Hye Jin.
I still can't forget...
...the way you laughed at me saying...
..."Did you enjoy winning?"
I know.
That was so cruel.
I'm sorry.
I said something so similar without thinking.
But it really wasn't intentional.
I heard your testimony too.
I don’t know who it is but…
You don't know who it is?
Right.
I don't know.
Why?
Why'd you let me live?
You could've killed me!
I didn't know you, but you knew me.
Why'd you let me live?
Why?
That's my question.
Bingo.
That's what I want to say.
If I were Gap Dong...
...why would I have let you live?
As you said...
...Kim Jae Hee didn't know me well.
But I could find out Kim's whereabouts.
If I were Gap Dong...
...would I have let you go like this?
I would've had many opportunities.
Right?
You said he had soft hands.
If you're so suspicious...
...you can touch them.
You said he had soft hands.
If you're so suspicious...
...you can touch them.
How did you win…
…rock, scissors, paper?
No, Kim Jae Hee!
Why'd you do that?
We should've used manipulation to catch him.
Look at him.
He's a heartless monster.
Don't worry.
This is only the beginning for me.
Ok, Kim Jae Hee?
I thought a trial would...
...bring utter joy.
But this is so tough.
The 48 hours are killing me.
While he's so at ease.
As the minutes go by, I'm going crazy.
Who is the legal stability for?
Who is it for?
How can they make such rules?
How can this be?
I told you.
We have a lot of time.
We have...
...until he dies.
Think about...
...our expiration time...
...not legal time, Kim Jae Hee.
None of the unsolved crime DNAs match Cha's.
There's nothing from his house either.
We checked 4 years' immigration records.
We're 8 days short.
Thanks, guys.
He had it all calculated.
He had 15 years in his brain.
He was counting every second.
[Dec. 24, 1993. 1st case occurrence day]
Long time no see. *Noona.
[Noona: Older sister or older female.]
Let's rewind it.
As you know...
...curiosity will kill the cat but…
…how come...
...you're not looking at the clock even once?
Aren't you curious...
- ...when you'll be released? - Yeah?
What time is it?
- It's almost time. - I asked you a question.
How can you not look?
We promised 48 hours.
Looking at it won't change anything.
But normal people would look!
When they're sitting there even if they're innocent!
They keep looking...
...since they're afraid of new leads!
I'm a detective, dude.
I can tell the time by your face.
Excuse me.
Dr. Han wants you to come.
I'm the 4th case Gap Dong.
Gap Dong is right there.
Why the nonsense?
Dr. Han.
Two blood types were found...
...in that case.
Blood type B semen and...
...type AB saliva here.
That was mine.
Stop it.
I know you want to catch Cha but…
- Not now. - Ms. Hong.
Please make a report.
An old prolifer is Gap Dong.
State that there was an accomplice.
Just leave out the name, Cha Do Hyeok.
What's your relationship with him?
He was a student of mine.
I've known him for 23 years.
I totally understand your intention…
- What's my intention? - The 3rd case statute of limitations.
There's some time left because of the period you were in Australia.
You're trying to get the investigation going...
...thru the 3rd case.
You mentioned him as an accomplice for the 2nd case.
I know you're using both to get him…
You got me. Stop asking me questions.
You shouldn't do this.
I knew you were honest...
...when you said you wouldn't go with manipulation.
But sacrifice is needed for justice's sake.
It's unnecessary. I have a plan.
Please don't do this.
What's your plan?
[Suffering from hallucinations due to fragments in frontal lobe…]
You need to get treated or less…
Oh well.
I could've died without catching Gap Dong.
Nice.
It's the heavens' way of telling me not to compromise.
Trust me.
Just tell me.
I don't want to.
You're not sacrificing yourself, are you?
What are you talking about?
Why should I because of him?
I worked out like crazy. No way.
There isn't much time left.
Any news with DNA?
Not yet.
Can't we establish a new law?
Why not?
For financial crises or...
- ...there are other situations... - We're working on it…
…but I don't know when it'll happen.
Even so, the retroactive principle ban is...
It's not just this case. The Frog Boys...
...and Daegu Children Sulphuric Acid cases.
How can these unsolved cases be buried?
Because you're young blood.
Think of the efficiency of investigations.
Efficiency of investigations…
It's necessary.
But how come you're efficient with only Cha's investigation?
You were bribed or something?
I just invested in his success.
Who knew this would happen?
You came here to ask me that?
I came to discuss something.
Dr. Han wants to sacrifice himself.
He never put my girl on his lap.
Dr. Han gave us...
...$15,000 as investigations started.
He didn't even complain.
He said he understood everything.
It makes me feel so guilty.
His Lolita Complex turned out to be a vicious report.
He wants to suspend...
...the expiration of statute of limitations…
…by sacrificing himself.
To investigate...
- ...until evidence comes out? - Yes.
I think Dr. Han should be investigated.
He could be the true culprit.
Then...
...I'll make the hard decision.
We will...
...send a charge to prosecution.
You can decide to withdraw or not.
Ok.
It's shocking that there is...
...an accomplice to the 4th case.
Dr. Han was abroad for a long time with…
...a statute of limitation period of over 3 years.
The police are checking...
...the validity of his confession.
They can't reveal the accomplice's identity yet.
Excuse me.
Mu Yeom just called.
He couldn't dissuade Dr. Han.
We owe him...
...again.
It's ok.
I think taking care of others has been...
...his joy.
But...
...I can't let him continue sacrificing himself like this.
Yeah.
What if he's framed...
...as a real accomplice?
- We can't let that happen. - Dr. Oh.
Don't worry too much.
Laws are the country's character.
All other countries are abolishing it.
Why would we maintain it?
It will all change eventually.
When?
When will that be?
Draw that pattern.
Repeat after me.
Chair. Dog. Busan.
Good.
Did you take today's medication?
- Yes. - You're feeling ok?
Do you remember the 3 things I said?
Chair. Person. Busan.
No?
Today's weather is fantastic.
[Today's weather…]
[Today's weather is fantastic.]
I really wanted to live?
[Bull]
It's not fantastic.
It's crappy.
Stop!
Sorry for the late call.
I thought the written opinion was weird.
Anyway it's your patient.
I sent the e-mail to ask your opinion.
Ryu is putting on a show.
He's a good actor.
Yeah?
I'll tell you in person.
Sure. Let's do that.
You can have Mr. Ha.
I'll have Ji Ul.
How did you win…
…rock, scissors, paper?
Time's up.
Thanks.
Sorry for complaining…
…when I just had to do my job.
I'm really disappointed in you.
I'm really sad and...
...disappointed too.
Don't you know...
...that was your last chance?
Stop testing my patience.
The theory that a signature was necessary...
...was quite impressive.
That I used it not to get caught.
- Affective disorder? - That's what they're saying.
The doctor said...
Why didn't you go...
...crazy enough to fool me too?
You think you can avoid the death penalty this way?
Shall I tell you?
How to avoid the death penalty?
Bite the neck of your hero.
Will you be a copycat forever?
You need to eliminate your hero to become the hero yourself.
What will you do...
...for me?
I could release you…
…or get you the death penalty.
Have a fresh start.
Hunting dog.
Hey! Don’t be so sorry!
I'll let you see this face again!
Let go!
Should I watch...
...trash like him...
...walk out?
Congratulations, everyone.
The prosecution for the Gap Dong case...
...has been registered.
- Then will he be charged? - Yes.
I came to inform you that the Iltan Serial Murder case…
…statute of limitations...
...expiration has been suspended.
Hurray!
You heard that?
The statute of limitations isn't complete.
You should've done better.
The 9th case, statute of limitations…
You failed...
...at completion.
It's not a win-win for both if you keep quiet.
This is like monopoly.
If one's sentence is longer, the other's becomes shorter.
I get the death penalty due to evidence.
Just tell me who can save me.
You got a haircut.
It's an important day.
Important day?
What day is it?
