Episode 17
Hurry and go to Seo Yeon's house. It's a blue cushion.
Find it before the police do!
Have you contacted the Prosecutor General?
- We've been trying to reach him. - But?
They keep saying they're in the middle of something important.
How dare they defy me!
What's the matter? You can't just come in here.
I'm from the Eastern Branch of the Prosecutor's Office.
Please move aside.
The blue cushion that Kang Seo Yeon used to kill Seo Yoon Hyung.
What does it look like exactly?
It's a deep blue.
In the security footage, it was carried in a shopping bag.
Its length and width are about 30cm.
Also, Seo Yoon Hyung and Kang Seo Yeon's initials are on it.
I saw it in the picture.
The picture where Kang Seo Yeon and Seo Yoon Hyung looked happiest.
It looks like you're on your way to the NFS.
Let me give you a ride.
No. I'll take my own car.
Why? Are you afraid I'll try to take Seo Yoon Hyung's fiber sample from you?
Don't worry. I'm not here to fight you.
I just want to make a deal.
It's this.
The cushion marked with Seo Yoon Hyung and Kang Seo Yeon's initials.
This won't be enough.
What about the textile sample found in Seo Yoon Hyung's trachea?
What do you mean a deal?
During the Seo Yoon Hyung case
You were the coroner affiliated with the police station.
You stole evidence despite your position as a civil servant at the police station.
Stealing evidence is a serious crime.
Are you aware of this?
Are you threatening me right now?
I'm not threatening you. I'm just saying the truth.
I can use this fact to disqualify you as a medical examiner.
I met you for the first time on the day of Seo Yoon Hyung's autopsy.
The reason I decided to be a medical examiner that day was because of these words.
"How did this person die, and why did he end up here?"
It's our duty to discover these truths without prejudice or ulterior motives.
Pressure from the media. The feelings of the people.
Personal greed or bribery.
These cannot control the case.
We're the last ones.
You may think that Dr. Yoon is just an idealist.
But he isn't.
Dr. Yoon showed me what he thought and felt.
I want to become a medical examiner like Dr. Yoon.
If you're going to take away my right to be a medical examiner, then go ahead.
If keeping the job means hiding the truth
I don't want to be a medical examiner.
You'll give up being a medical examiner?
Then what about your younger sister?
I heard that your sister needs a heart transplant.
What? Is Dr. Go not answering her phone?
She's probably on her way to the NFS. I spoke with her earlier.
You haven't given up on your sister for five years.
It's probably been difficult during that time.
You can give her something more precious than a heart.
All you have to do is hand over that sample.
This is the last chance I'm giving you.
Doctor.
Has Dr. Go arrived?
I haven't seen her.
What's going on? Prosecutor Jung and Officer Choi, even Dr. Yoon are here.
Whenever they're around, there's always trouble.
Let's go.
Should we?
But I have an autopsy.
I'm Prosecutor Jung from the Eastern Branch.
The suspect might run away.
Please treat this as an emergency.
- I heard from the desk. Is this it? - Yes.
But which case is this evidence for?
The suspected murder weapon from the Seo Yoon Hyung case one year ago.
It's urgent.
I see.
That's what killed Seo Yoon Hyung?
But didn't Seo Yoon Hyung die of potassium cyanide?
I heard there was also a comparative sample. Where's that?
Chief. What happened?
The textile fiber sample! Have you found it?
Go Da Kyung!
Dr. Go. Where's the sample?
Here.
Are you okay?
Yes.
It was her last opportunity to save her sister, but she turned it down.
You should have stopped her by force!
How could you just let her go?
Now what are we going to do? If they have the sample, it's all over.
Then we'll have to end it.
I'm going to end it all now.
You usually can't be here like this.
We're not strangers. We're just curious.
But still!
Are you really going to be like this?
I've been with the NFS for ten years.
Plus me is seventeen years. Just keep working.
What do you think?
For starters, the shape is the same.
For a more accurate result, we'll need to run this through the infrared spectrometer.
It'll take about thirty minutes.
Fine.
Go Da Kyung.
Go Da Kyung!
What happened?
I always lived thinking my sister was dead.
That way, I wouldn't be sad if they called to say she died.
But...
I think there's still a bit of greed left in me.
Five years have passed already.
Even if she gets the heart transplant, she'll just be lying in bed unconscious.
Still, I want her to live.
Truth is, Chief Lee Myung Han came to meet with me.
What?
He said he'd save my sister.
I don't know how he found out.
He said that he'd give her the heart transplant.
He asked me for the sample.
Truth is, I almost gave it to him.
I knew it was wrong.
But I wanted to save my sister.
I was wrong.
If I'd done the right thing, none of this would have happened.
If I had just finished it well, things wouldn't have been this complicated.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
Is it out?
Please just wait.
Is it coming out?
Yes, it's coming out now.
They found the evidence in your daughter's apartment.
It's been taken to the NFS.
The opposing party is putting together a press conference.
We need you to make a decision.
How?
Do you know how I came this far?
Are you okay?
Will you be OK with this?
No.
I'm okay.
Usually, if you just cry it out, you forget it.
My sister Da Hee will be okay too.
She's strong like me, so she'll handle it well.
If Da Hee had found out what happened
she would have been against it.
You're amazing.
I don't think I could have done what you did.
You're amazing. You really are.
I told your father once that you're a good examiner.
Tell him again.
You're a magnificent medical examiner.
The results are out.
They don't match up.
The confiscated cushion and the textile sample
They're from totally different constituents.
What?
What did you say?
What do you mean?
How could they not match up?
This is the spectrometer analysis of the blue cushion.
And this is the one for the textile sample Dr. Go brought in.
This is impossible! There's no way!
What do you mean withdraw candidacy?
There's no need for that.
- Are you sure that's the sample? - I'm positive.
Have you inspected it properly?
I'm certain of the results.
This is impossible.
This is not right.
Maybe the machine is wrong.
I'll test it again.
- Doctor! - I'm going to do it myself.
You can test it if you want, but the results will be the same.
No it won't! I'll do it myself!
Something went wrong.
Something's gotta give!
No way.
You're here.
Have you brought it?
Do you need us to help?
I can help too. Should I bring a slide?
Sure. Okay.
What happened?
We ran it three times.
But the results are the same.
The pillow and the fiber sample don't match up.
The witness.
Now the evidence.
All gone.
It's all over.
Chief.
Is this really for the sake of the NFS?
That's right.
This is for the NFS and for all of us.
I understand. Good work.
Now all the evidence...
is gone.
This afternoon, Kang Seo Yeon, Congressman Kang's daughter, underwent a search raid.
In spite of it being a thorough search
the prosecutor's office was unsuccessful in finding convincing evidence.
Kang Joong Hyuk's spokesperson asked during a briefing
who is behind this unreasonable investigation against the presidential candidate.
He violently condemned the prosecution and the opposition party.
The police is investigating Joo Seon Woo's death, which turned out to be a homicide.
The estimated time of his death was 11pm.
Based on Joo Seon Woo's stolen valuables, there is a high chance that he was robbed.
You endured a lot all this time.
Why aren't you eating?
If it doesn't suit your taste, should I get you something else?
Miss Kang Seo Yeon.
There's no roundabout way of saying this.
You've killed four people.
You killed Seo Yoon Hyung yourself.
Jung Seok Hoon died in a car accident in the U.S.
Lee Soo Jung was electrocuted.
And Joo Seon Woo died in a hotel.
There's 2 million dollars in this account.
In exchange, please write a suicide note.
I'm not asking you to die.
I'm just asking you to write that you can't the handle prosecution's investigation
and disappear for a while.
This money is enough for you to start over in a new country.
Mr. Joo Seon Woo. This is Yoon Ji Hoon.
Are you attacking me now?
The people who've died are the ones who did wrong.
They dared to betray me, you see.
Joo Seon Woo is the last one.
I won't help you anymore.
I endured this much for the NFS.
But we can't do this anymore.
Let your father know
that we hope he is elected without trouble.
Tell him not to forget the promise he made me.
The NFS will become an institution autonomous from external influence.
From now on, there will be no reason to see you again.
I knew you'd be doing this.
Why haven't you left? What have you been doing this whole time?
Why? Is this not enough?
Don't just look. Have some.
This waffle is really good.
Have some!
When you're in a bad mood, sweet food is the best.
It'll make you feel better.
Life will seem worthwhile.
You'll think that way.
Seriously.
See? You like it.
And this.
Is this world really worth living in?
I really wanted to get her.
This time, I really wanted to catch her.
The world?
It's worth living in.
It's the only way to justify being born.
That's what we should believe as we live.
Seo Yoon Hyung died of oronasal suffocation.
It's obviously homicide.
Professor Lee Myung Han is correct.
I wasn't wrong!
How was Yoon Hyung in his final moments?
Give it up. If you don't, all the witnesses will die.
I wanted to save my sister.
Do you know what makes up the foundation of the NFS?
It's power.
1 Month Later
Hello.
Oh, hello.
But what are you doing here today?
Same reason as always.
We found a corpse yesterday in our vicinity.
Really?
Well, good luck.
Officer.
Yes?
You do know that Lee Ho Jin moved, right?
Yes. Have you been watching him the entire time?
We're keeping an eye on him too.
I know. It's just that I feel uncomfortable.
Don't worry.
We told people to keep an eye on him since he's proven to be dangerous.
OK.
The election will be held a week from now.
According to various polls, Kang Joong Hyuk's party has a 60% support rate...
I knew it the first time I saw her.
She got the prosecutor general fired.
How can she eat?
But how come Prosecutor Jung didn't get fired?
The Prosecutor General said he'd take full responsibility.
He asked for them to let Prosecutor Jung stay.
- Below that? - Eight.
That'll do.
Your lenses are the problem.
Try not to wear your lenses too often.
But my glasses are uncomfortable.
I could recommend you for lasik surgery. What do you think?
Lasik?
As expected. You look so much prettier with your glasses.
I'll have to think about it.
How many days have we spent in this car?
No kidding. Any longer and our bodies will become relics.
That guy.
It's him!
Yeah. Give the signal.
We'll get him when he passes the car.
One, two, three!
Nice timing!
You have the right to remain silent. You also have the right to an attorney.
Why has it taken so long for you to come home?
If you were going to come, you should've come sooner.
Spare us the trouble.
You made it more difficult for the both of us!
Congratulations on your return.
Thank you. It's all thanks to your interest in me.
Good job, everyone.
We haven't done anything.
From now on, the NFS is an autonomous institution.
We'll be the core of judicial investigations.
Please continue to do your best.
Yes.
I'll finish the autopsy. Please take care of the sutures.
Sure.
It's already been a month. She looks so defeated.
Imagine how tired she must be. It's hard enough for me.
It's hard for me too.
You too?
I went on a blind date, but she hasn't called back.
But where on earth is Dr. Yoon?
Yoon Ji Hoon
You've come.
When did you find him?
An hour ago.
A passing driver reported him.
Can you line up the cars here?
What?
Why?
The dead have the right to have their privacy be protected.
It's not right to have their death be ogled by strangers.
Sure.
I think he was hit by a car.
I hear that he was almost hit by a car walking drunk a month ago.
He has been hit by a car, but it was after he died.
What?
I'm saying he was left here after he died.
Petechiae are found on his eyelids, and someone strangled his neck.
After someone choked him to death
they must have staged a traffic accident here.
How could that be?
We'll have to perform an autopsy, but I'm almost certain.
There's a final phone call he made last night.
If we compare it to the body's temperature
the estimated time of death is most likely 12:00am to 1:00am.
If there's any trouble, call me right away.
Yes. I understand.
Are you just going to end the on-site investigation like this?
The basics aren't taken care of.
Was the body found as it appears in this picture?
Don't you know the livor mortis changes when the body is moved around?
The body wasn't moved around, and we didn't find any livor mortis.
What about the rectal temperature?
I assume you took the measurements when the environment hadn't changed?
Are you ignoring the site?
Or are you mocking someone?
The site is important.
But the site is also most easily fabricated or destroyed.
Don't you know that?
Don't remember. Don't know.
I hear you're very famous for going out every time there's a crime scene.
All autopsies start at the scene of the crime.
Are you putting your own words into practice?
What have you been doing all this time?
You don't answer your phone, and you weren't home when I went to find you.
All that time in the NFS made me oblivious to the outside world.
I wanted to get some air. That's what I did.
Was it very difficult?
How about you?
Well. A little.
Me too. A little.
This is so heavy. Carry this for me.
He hasn't called.
Should I call first?
Oh no.
Are you talking about me?
Have you been well?
What are you doing in front of a stranger's house?
It's not a stranger's house.
It's someone I know pretty well.
Have you thought of me a lot?
What? Are you crazy?
You have been thinking of me. You're wearing your glasses.
That's not true!
I'm wearing these because my eyes hurt.
I'm going to get lasik surgery!
Don't take off your glasses!
If you do...
I may not be able to restrain myself again.
I'm not joking.
I like you, Prosecutor Jung.
Very much.
I told you not to think of me that way.
But I keep thinking like that.
I shouldn't?
That's right.
For the time being.
I don't know where you learned about romance
but I think you should be considerate of the other person.
So what I'm saying is...
Kisses... Well, things like that.
Do that after we know each other a bit better.
Maybe have a meal together and watch a movie.
Shouldn't you do that after you've gone on a couple of dates?
So for today...
That's all.
That's all for today.
I left the car there.
I'm so pissed off!
I called a driver...but he won't come.
Whatever!
Hang up!
Mister!
Is that the only water you have?
Yes.
That's all.
What kind of convenience store is this?
It's so filthy.
Are you looking for something?
Will you know if I tell you?
How much is this?
$1.50.
Keep the change!
We identified her pretty quickly because we found her wallet.
Her name is Lee Sa Ra.
She's a college student.
Are you okay?
It's a brain hemorrhage, isn't it?
The weapon's a hammer.
Am I right?
Like you said, we can't make conclusions based on sight alone.
We're taking the body to the NFS.
We'll know if it's the same criminal as the Oh Sang Eun case after the autopsy.
I know it without the autopsy!
The criminal is the same as the one in the Oh Sang Eun case.
We need to arrest him.
Go Da Kyung.
First go to the NFS and confirm whether it's the same weapon.
That's priority.
- Make sure she's going to the NFS. - What?
This is definitely the same criminal behind the Oh Sang Eun case.
Are you sure?
She's probably on her way to the crime scene.
Before she gets herself into danger, look after her, Officer Choi.
You seem worried about Dr. Go Da Kyung.
The important thing is, if this is the same criminal, three people have already died.
We have to stop him.
All right.
After I file the report, I'll begin the investigation.
Officer Choi.
Can I have a look at the police report for Lee Ho Jin?
I want to see if there's any evidence that might give us a lead.
Sure.
Have you found security footage for the murder of the female university student?
The thing is, that region is so remote that they don't have security cameras installed.
An octagonally-shaped hammer.
The angle between the handle and the head is 88 degrees.
It's the same as the weapon in the previous case.
Got it.
Excuse me.
Is the person who just played at station 27 a member here?
I think we switched bags. Can I have his number?
Your bag?
Yes. There were lots of important things inside.
It's urgent so...
Hold on.
Lee Ho Jin.
Address: ESP Company
Are you police?
I'm not police.
Then why are you tracking me down?
I'm interested in catching a murderer.
But I didn't kill anyone.
For today.
I may not have evidence that you're the murderer today.
But if I catch you...
You should probably be careful.
I don't know how to give up.
You think it's a crime without motive?
I think Oh Sang Eun's case and Lee Sa Ra's case involve the same culprit.
Then he's committed a crime twice.
Truth is, my hunch is that he's done it three times.
Five years ago, in Goheung-dong where Oh Sang Eun died
there was a female high school student who died under similar circumstances.
Oh really?
Name: Lee Ho Jin.
Parents are both professors.
He grew up in southern Seoul and ranked at the top of his school.
But he failed to attend college.
Though he tried several times, he didn't make the top law schools he hoped to attend.
He lost himself in computer games and tried to become a game developer.
But he failed at that too.
After a big fight with his parents a month ago
he moved out and now supports himself with a part-time job.
Yes.
He's the suspect for killing the university student?
Is there any proof?
If they did, they'd have arrested him.
Why would we be here?
It's only been a few days since our last stakeout.
Why another one?
He's already killed two people.
It might even be three.
Hey, go get something to eat.
I'm starving to death.
- Why do I always have to go? - I'm the senior, that's why!
Keep a close eye.
So. You say you want to ask me something.
I actually have quite a few questions.
Hey!
How many hours have you been at the hospital?
You think you're the only one with shoulder pain?
Go back to work.
So, go ahead.
Do you know Lee Ho Jin?
Lee Ho Jin?
Well, he was a talented and smart kid.
But...
The reason for crimes without a motive is a restless mind.
He becomes sensitive to his environment if either he or his words are ignored.
He had some problems in the head.
He came in with a script for a game a while ago.
But it was a narrative we couldn't use.
It's hard to produce a game with this kind of premise.
But this is different from other scripts.
I worked on this for five years.
It doesn't matter how you worked on it.
Your script is too amoral.
Aside from being too gruesome, it just makes you feel bad.
How is this gruesome?
Every person imagines murder.
Hey! I'm not the only one who thinks there's a problem.
If someone says something's wrong, just accept it!
Why are you always this way?
What is this? What?
These are the usual characteristics of people who commit crimes without motives.
But it's difficult to look at these as crimes without a motive.
What do you mean?
We can divide murders into two kinds: planned murders and impulsive ones.
Crimes without motive are closer to the latter.
Since it's not planned, they commit the murder if they're drunk or mentally unstable.
But for the first case with the high school student and the Oh Sang Eun case
you said both victims sensed danger and called their families.
Sis! I think someone keeps following me.
If the victim sensed danger before she died
then it suggests she was followed for a long time.
The murder was committed after the victim was chosen.
This is not a crime without motive.
There's a high probability that these murders were planned.
Can I take a look at the script Lee Ho Jin wrote?
It's not any good.
Why bother looking at it?
Still...
Hey. Do you still have Lee Ho Jin's script?
Bring it here.
Here you go.
Here it is.
- I'm busy, so... - Sure.
[City Hunter]
Bored of city life, only one thing entices you.
The freedom to kill anyone.
You remember the people you've once wanted to kill.
You now have the chance.
First Mission
Late at night, a female high school student is on her way home.
In your hand is an everyday hammer.
If you kill her before you are discovered
Mission Clear
Second Mission
The company you interviewed for but didn't get the job.
The female employee hired in your place.
Third Mission
A spoiled brat born into a rich family.
Last Mission
The person who caused you pain during your school days...
Okay.
The hysterical female teacher.
How much is it?
Four dollars.
By the way. You must be a teacher.
Well, kind of.
Thank you!
Goodbye.
This is Jung Woo Jin.
Why did you have your phone off?
But have you come to see me?
No.
Since you're in a stakeout, I'll go over there.
The most important point in carrying out your mission.
You must kill the person completely.
Completely.
End the person's life.
