Episode 2
Please text me the amount and your wire transfer information
once your car is fixed.
Okay. Good night.
- Choi Eun Seol! - Oh, my God!
You're Choi Eun Seol, right?
Do you not remember me? I'm Song Yeon Ji!
[Certificate of Highest Honor]
I love you too!
Eun Seol!
Moo Gak!
Come here, my little sister!
Highest honor? You're the best!
I'm so proud of you! My baby!
You always say "my baby!"
Am I your daughter?
No woman will marry you if you keep calling me your baby!
Of course you're my daughter.
There's only the two of us in this world. So you're my daughter.
Maybe I'll get married once I marry you off first.
You even think like a grandfather!
Wait. What do you want to eat?
Pork belly?
Meat noodles?
Meat noodles!
- Call? - Call!
Let's go eat some meat noodles!
Choi Eun Seol of the highest honor!
I don't know you. I'm afraid you're mistaken.
I'm so sorry.
You look exactly like one of my classmates.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Why are you still here?
Your name is...
Right! I only gave you my number!
You're very keen on this stuff perhaps because of your job!
My name is Oh Cho Rim.
If you give me that piece of paper, I'll write my name down.
My name is...
Cho as in Yang Cho... Rim as in Grim.
Oh Cho Rim.
Here you go.
I heard Choi Eun Seol before...
Ah, did you hear?
I think the lady mistook me for one of her friends.
Goodbye, then.
Eun Seol!
Choi Eun Seol...
Eun Seol! Here!
Wake up, Eun Seol!
I'll kill the murderer of Eun Seol with my own hands.
Han Gil, why does a detective have to dress like that?
Are you singing at a nightclub?
That's for later tonight.
Who do we have here?
We have the officer who caught the robber!
Look how stiff his neck is because he caught some petty robber!
What are you doing here, instead of attending your police box?
I'm here to see the head of the department.
Do you have an appointment?
It's not funny.
I can't be funny all the time.
Go ahead.
Did I not make myself clear when I said...
I'll break your legs if you interfere with any of my cases?
And you went on to catch a robber before my lips were even dry?
Do you think I'm a joke?
And on top of all that...
You're asking me to make you a detective right now.
If you make me a detective, I'll be sure to increase the department's arrest rate.
Nonsense.
Do you think anyone who happens to catch a robber can become a detective?
Do you think so?
I'm confident in my abilities to catch criminals.
Please make me one of your detectives.
Fine.
This is the case file.
I'll give you ten days.
If you can bring me the culprit within ten days...
Then you'll become a homicide detective.
I'll make it happen.
But if you don't catch the culprit...
Let's not talk about your story ever again.
Okay?
How can you be still breathing after destroying my car?
This should be with a mechanic, not here!
I couldn't bring it yet because I was serving lunch to other members.
I'm so sorry.
After destroying my car?
I want to eat you alive right now.
I'll bring it to a mechanic right now.
Replace everything with brand new parts.
And change engine oil too.
Okay!
- Goodbye, sir! - Bye!
Hey, rookie.
Hello!
Where are you going instead of practicing?
I have to go to a mechanic.
A mechanic? Aren't you going to practice for the audition?
Why did you come to my troupe?
You aren't here just to serve your older troupe members, are you?
Are you actually preparing something for the audition?
If you're not, you shouldn't be in my troupe.
I'm preparing a skit.
A skit?
Who's your partner? I'm not aware of anyone.
Who's your partner?
He's not in the troupe.
Not in the troupe? Then who?
You probably don't know him. He's very new.
Is that so?
Then bring him with you later and do an act for me.
Today?
Yes. Why?
Did you just lie to me?
No, sir...
My partner is out of town right now, so I don't think we can do today.
Then do an act for me tomorrow.
If you can't do it, that means you just lied to me.
So I'll have to ask you to leave my troupe.
What can I do?
I don't have a partner!
This is the end...
You dummy!
You're about to break the desk, Choi Moo Gak.
There's no way you can solve this, Moo Gak.
This is his way of saying you can't join his department.
Is it that hard of a case, sir?
Coffee for you.
You remember those Internet cafe murder cases ten years ago, right?
Three murders happened within our district in one night.
That's the case?
No way we can find the murderer now.
We mobilized the entire Metropolitan Investigation Force (MIF), but couldn't even find a clue.
The Minister of Interior got fired because of this!
Along with the head of our police station.
I don't think you'll be joining the Homicide Department, Moo Gak.
Here's your invoice.
I gave you an amazing price.
Usually you can only get a fender at this price!
I hope I'm not being rude.
But are you interested in doing a comedy skit with me?
I shall refrain my anger because you're my client.
Come back in two days.
This is Oh Cho Rim. I have the invoice for the repair.
Bumper replacement and fender repair. 450,000 won.
It's been so long, dude! How have you been?
You still like baggy clothes?
Why don't you wait outside? Let's go for a drink.
That policeman is a good actor.
This is Oh Cho Rim.
Can we meet and talk about the invoice for the car repair?
I must become a homicide detective at any cost!
I'll catch the murderer of Eun Seol with my own hands!
The invoice is a lot bigger than I expected! Please call me.
In order to catch the killer, I need to join the Homicide Department.
I need to see Eun Seol's case file.
I'm going to report you to the police for a hit-and-run.
I'm going to interpret your lack of response as the lack of willingness to pay!
He can do slapstick comedy too! Perfect!
I'm sorry! Someone spilled a caramel macchiato.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Welcome.
I was waiting for you for a long time.
I guess it took you a while because you were eating such a huge meal!
Black noodles, spicy soup noodles, sweet and sour pork, fried rice...
You ate everything! What a glutton!
How big is the invoice?
The mechanic expects it to be very, very big.
He expects it?
But...
there's a way for you to not pay a single penny.
Do you like comedy skits?
Pardon?
Comedy... What?
Comedy skit.
I don't know if you're aware of the late Jang So Pal and Go Chun Ja.
'Long time no see, Mr. Jang! You've become more handsome!'
'Where are you going?'
'I'm getting married.'
'You got very pretty too, Ms. Go. Where are you going?'
'I'm getting married to you!'
I'm crying!
If you do a skit with me, I'll pay for the car repair.
Where's the mechanic?
Give me the number of the mechanic. I'm going to get the invoice.
Oops, I forgot to bring his business card.
This is nothing special. Just an audition for my job.
You can think of it as saving the car repair expense...
by doing a skit with me!
I think you're quite talented in that!
I remember your great acting from when we were catching the robber!
Please do a skit with me.
What are you trying to do?
Total nonsense...
What? Comedy?
Please go. Just go!
Why are you yelling?
You're being ridiculous.
Send me the invoice. I'll give you the money.
Just go.
You think a comedy skit is ridiculous?
It's something very precious and serious to me.
And why are you yelling? Ridiculous!
Ridiculous...
I don't have time to worry about comedy skits, lady.
Sir, the Internet cafe murder cases from ten years ago are too hard for me to solve.
He even looks so merciless. And his rude behavior supports it!
Huh?
Why is there no response?
'Sir, the Internet cafe murder cases from ten years ago are too hard for me to solve.'
'If you give me another case, I'll be sure to catch the criminal.'
'My life depends on this.'
You can stop now. Wrong recipient.
You sent me three messages in a row before...
Which made me confused.
What are those murder cases?
Forget about them. And please delete the messages.
Let's hear it at least.
I think I might be able to catch the murderer.
Who caught the beauty salon robber?
I did!
I can catch the murderer!
With my intuition, I can just catch the culprit!
If you become my skit partner, I'll become your investigation partner.
It'll be beneficial for everyone.
This is Kwon Jae Hee.
Where's Ma Ri?
Still no word from her?
I understand.
I just landed. I'll call you later.
How did you know that the robber was hiding in there?
How did you know I ate black noodles, spicy soup noodles
sweet and sour pork, and fried rice together?
It's not just intuition. Something else is there...
You have a secret, don't you?
Don't you think you're too close?
If we are to become partners, we must trust each other.
So we'll be partners for sure, right?
Okay.
I know by smell.
Smell?
The robber had a very strong scent of perm on his hands.
And the scents of those four dishes are all over your face and body.
So...
You have a very keen nose.
I bet I'm better than those police dogs.
I'm going to hide outside.
Leave in five minutes and come find me.
Officer Choi, this test is so easy, it's unnecessary.
Leave in five minutes.
He stepped on caramel macchiato.
Ca-ra-mel... Mac-chi-a-to...
Wow...
So she can smell as well as that dog does.
Wow!
She's precisely following my path.
How is this possible?
I saw you. Come down.
You really are like a dog.
Can you trust me as your partner now?
I noticed that you weren't sniffing.
So you still can't trust me.
You must understand.
For me, it's not this. It's this.
That's enough.
What?
Did you get that from the Chinese restaurant? That mint candy?
In your pocket.
Follow me with them.
I'll prove to you that I'm right.
There's the mint scent.
It's impossible to smell something while being outside with her nose clipped.
Does that mean she really can see scents?
This girl really can see scents.
These are the notes I made for skits.
Pick the one you like and memorize the male part by tomorrow!
- Memorize? - Yes.
You have to memorize your lines to have an interaction with me.
I've memorized the whole book.
Okay. That's all I have to do, right?
By the way...
Have you just decided to be informal with me?
Right.
I like being more informal with the people that I work with.
Okay, Officer Choi. Just memorize your lines by tomorrow.
You've made a contract with me. Breaking it will cause grave consequences.
See you tomorrow.
[Engrave it on your eyeballs]
Damn...
Officer Choi!
Why are you still here?
I came back because I forgot a very important thing.
What is it?
The fact that I can see scents...
Please keep it as a secret.
Right. Of course.
You're a policeman. I can trust you, right?
Of course you can.
Thank you. Bye!
Save me!
I'll do whatever you want! Save me!
Save me...
Salute!
- Is everything ready for the meeting? - Yes, ma'am.
Everyone from the Homicide and Investigation teams are in the conference room.
I'll take your purse, Lieutenant.
Name, Kwak Seung Chul. Male, age 25. A bellhop at a hotel.
Today is his 5th day missing.
Joo Ma Ri. Female, age 27.
A famous fashion model. Today is her 4th day missing.
These are the cases that I'm paying attention to among the cases under your jurisdiction.
Are you aware of how many calls we get every day about missing cases like those?
I don't think these cases should concern the Metropolitan Investigation Force.
Of course, there are missing persons cases in all police stations of the country.
I'll tell you why I'm interested in these two cases.
The murder case of a professor from four years ago...
The murder case of a fisherman couple from three years ago...
The murder case of a famous mountain climber from two years ago...
The murder case of a shaman from a year ago...
All these murder cases involve victims who vary in age and occupation...
But they all occurred around this time of the year.
All these cases began as a missing person case.
They were all discovered as corpses on the 7th day of missing.
According to the autopsy reports, they were all killed one day before their discovery.
All of them were suffocated.
With its consistency, it seems to be a chain murder case!
Inspector Sa.
That's what she's trying to say.
Are you stupid or something?
Please continue.
The proof that this is a chain murder case is this.
What do those wrist cuts mean?
They look like barcodes. The ones you scan at a grocery store.
Correct. They're barcodes.
Please turn the lights on.
Smart kid.
The Chain Murder Team under the Metropolitan Investigation Force...
has decided to open an investigation on these cases.
The murderer is killing someone every 12 months.
This month is the 12th month of the cycle.
And the reason why I'm paying attention to these two missing cases...
is because their jobs and age are different from the victims so far.
Please remember. It all began as a missing person case.
And he kills on the 6th day of missing.
I hope for the safe return of both Mr. Kwak and Ms. Joo.
Please consider the possibility of their abduction by this chain murderer...
while you conduct your search.
Any questions?
What are the uses of the barcodes left by the murderer?
Can they actually be used in real life?
Hey.
Why are you here?
I'm sorry.
What is he doing?
My Investigations Department will take the case of Mr. Kwak.
Your Homicide Department should take the case of Ms. Joo.
Call.
You should know your place!
Why do you continue to upset our department head?
Sir.
There's no way I will be able to solve the case that's ten years old.
Instead, I'll find Joo Ma Ri, the fashion model.
Please give me a chance.
I caught the beauty salon robber too.
Nonsense.
- Sir. - Yes?
This is the call record of Ms. Joo Ma Ri.
The last one is with a hospital.
She made a lot of calls to that hospital.
Visit the hospital and check it yourself.
We're very short-staffed. May I bring Officer Choi?
Hey...
If you do anything crazy, the whole thing is over.
Let's go.
I'll be back!
What? It's this hospital?
What are you doing?
Yes, I'm coming!
This is the office number of Dr. Chun Baek Gyung.
Can we see Dr. Chun right now?
He's on vacation for four days, starting today.
Vacation?
Then...
Do you recognize this person?
She's a patient of Dr. Chun. A fashion model.
Can we have Dr. Chun's mobile number?
He doesn't own a mobile phone. He doesn't use it.
There's someone who doesn't use a mobile phone in this age?
What's the reason for his vacation?
He takes them quite often. It seems like he travels a lot.
By the way, weren't you here a couple of days ago?
That's right.
You came here before?
Yes, I was curious.
Hilarious comedy show tonight! Take this discount coupon!
Thank you! Discount coupon for you!
Come see our show! Thank you!
Come see our show!
Hello, Officer Choi.
Why are you late?
I did my best.
What's up with the sunglasses?
Well...
Something smelled really terrible on the way here.
I read an article online on my way here about Joo Ma Ri's missing case.
Let's go inside.
We're from the police. We're on Ms. Joo Ma Ri's missing case.
Please excuse us.
How are you related to Ms. Joo?
We're her fellow fashion models. Friends.
All we need is a sniff.
Can we see Ms. Joo's favorite clothes?
Her clothes? A sniff?
Sniff what?
He means we're sniffing around the city for clues.
The scent of her perfume is quite unique.
This is it.
- May I spray some? - Go ahead.
With a vanilla base...
this perfume is a custom-made one with orange and rose mixed at a 7:3 ratio.
Yes! That's very accurate!
Ma Ri always mixes her own perfume.
We just call that "the scent of Ma Ri."
She'll be okay, right? Please find her as soon as possible.
Don't worry too much. Thank you.
This is the office of Ms. Joo's agency.
Ms. Joo was last seen in the parking lot of this building.
Let's go to the parking lot.
What did you pick for the skit?
The skit?
Which one did you pick amongst the ones in the notebook?
The Green Light.
Right? That's the funniest one, right?
You have a knack for these things. I've picked the right partner!
It was the shortest one.
I assume you've memorized the lines?
Should we really be talking about your skit?
Let's hurry.
That's the scent of Joo Ma Ri's personal perfume.
It's certain!
That man smells like Joo Ma Ri.
Are you certain?
Excuse me.
Where is Joo Ma Ri? Why are you here?
Speak now! Where is Joo Ma Ri?
Huh? That's Chef Kwon Jae Hee!
Nothing notable here...
That dummy... Hey!
Are you crazy?
A police box attendant must have been mistaken.
I'm very sorry.
He's definitely related to Joo Ma Ri. We must investigate...
You punk! Of course he's related!
He came to us and said he's Ms. Joo's boyfriend.
He's on his way out after asking questions with us at the model agency!
He was in the United States for a week. He just came back yesterday!
In business class!
What can be a stronger alibi than that?
I'm sorry. I was mistaken.
It's fine. I'm okay.
But please find Ma Ri as soon as possible.
I beg of you.
I don't think we've met before. How did you know I know Ma Ri?
How could you just disappear and send me a text to meet you here?
So, Kwon Jae Hee and Joo Ma Ri are dating?
I'm very surprised.
Anyway, let's practice our skit.
That guy, Kwon Jae Hee. Is he that famous?
Of course! He's an every girl's darling these days!
But let's start the Green Light.
We have to do it in front of my troupe leader in an hour.
We have to show something no matter if we're good or not.
There was some sort of conflict between Joo Ma Ri and her agent.
He said that's probably why she blew off fashion shows and went off the grid.
Officer Choi. You won't do it?
Then I can't help you tomorrow either.
It seems like this investigation will be a long one.
Here.
What is this?
Did you rip this from the notebook I gave you?
I had to do it to memorize it on the road.
Do you know how precious this is to me? This is driving me crazy!
You should've told me not to rip it then.
It's common sense not to rip it!
We don't have that much time. Let's start the Green Light.
Hey, listen to me. This is a green light, isn't it?
Again.
Hey, listen to me. This is a green light, isn't it?
- You're very drunk. - I don't know.
- What about the car? - Just keep going straight.
What are you doing? Start.
Hey, listen to me. This is a green light, isn't it?
What is it?
I was at an ice cream parlor.
The girl at the counter gave me twice as much ice cream than the others!
That was buy-one-get-one-free promotion.
- Is that so? - That is so.
Hey, listen to me. This is a green light, isn't it?
What is it?
I was walking down an alleyway to get to my house.
But a girl who works at my local convenience store saw me!
Then she just started running!
Why did she?
When I got home, my room was immaculately cleaned.
That's because your mom stopped by in the morning.
- Is that so? - That is so.
Hey, listen to me. This is a green light, isn't it?
What is it?
Enough.
What's your name?
You can call me Officer Choi.
Police? I like your pseudonym.
Maybe you should bring handcuffs around too.
What a crazy guy.
- Oh Cho Rim. - Yes, sir.
I've confirmed that you have a partner.
But if this is what you're going to do at the audition, you'll be in last place.
I'll try harder, sir.
Officer Choi.
You're a great actor. I thought you were actually stupid!
Officer Choi.
I think you should try harder and be more serious.
This just crossed my mind.
Why did Joo Ma Ri hide her boyfriend from everyone?
Let's go.
[The 7th day of Joo Ma Ri missing]
Is this the right way?
It's so dark out. I have no idea where we are.
We have this GPS with us. Why so worried?
We're almost there.
I want to check in and cook some ramen!
Okay. I'll cook it for you!
What? What is that?
Today is the 8th day of Joo Ma Ri missing.
The murderer used to put the corpse in a visible place on the 7th day.
But we haven't found Ms. Joo yet.
It seems like she isn't a victim of these chain murders.
So my team will stop working on the case.
Okay.
Keep up the good work, sir.
So from what I've found so far, Ms. Joo has a lot of debt.
She also had big conflicts with her agent.
I think she just went off the grid, hardcore.
- Take care. - Take care, ma'am!
Sir! A new transaction on Ms. Joo's credit card.
Really? Where?
At a motel in Yangpyeong.
In motels, you're required to pay up front. We can still get him before he leaves!
It might be Ms. Joo herself! Go to Yangpyeong now!
Yes, sir!
- Gosh! - We'll be back, sir!
Detective Park, ask for cooperation from the local police station.
Yes, sir!
Where are you going?
I'm going. Bye!
Get in now!
Damn it...
I'm losing my mind.
The young one should drive!
Of course!
Oh my God!
He startled me!
When did you get on? Get off right now!
Let's just go! We don't have much time!
We'll toss him somewhere on the way.
That man is driving me crazy!
What are you doing? Let go of me!
Come!
Do you have a warrant?
How can you just drag a man like this?
Be quiet! You're disturbing their business.
- Calm down. - Let go of me!
Are you handcuffing me? This is crazy!
What are you going to do now? You punk...
The photo on his ID matches.
Your name is Yang Tae Soo, huh?
But this credit card says Joo Ma Ri. This isn't your card!
I picked it up on the street!
How could you handcuff and arrest me for using a card that I picked up on the street?
You're under arrest as a suspect for kidnapping.
Tell me. Where is Joo Ma Ri?
[Yangpyeong Town Hall]
Where was it?
There.
What is this?
Is this it?
So that's the wallet that had Joo Ma Ri's card?
Yes.
Where was it originally?
It was there from the beginning.
Mr. Detective, I was just walking when I saw something on the ground.
"A wallet!"
Who would just walk by a wallet without picking it up?
Officer Choi, go back to Seoul and give this to the forensics team.
Yes, sir.
Because it's a leather wallet, the leather smell is the strongest.
From where it was found, she might be somewhere in a mountain.
I don't think it's a mountain. It's water.
Water, not a mountain?
There's a lot of that water scent. The scent you smell at a river or a lake.
A lot of that freshwater scent.
But the wallet was at a town hall near a mountain.
Why does it smell like freshwater?
It's the scent of a dog.
A dog?
Ms. Joo doesn't own a dog.
A dog..
A dog.
Because Ms. Joo's belongings are scattered over a large area...
We'll approach this case as a kidnapping case from now on.
Tomorrow, we'll expand our search zone to 2 km instead of 1 km.
Sir?
I have something to tell you.
It's not the mountain. It's the river.
We must focus our search on the river nearby.
What the hell are you saying?
No, Detective Ki.
You may continue, Officer Choi.
We must assume the wallet we found today...
came from the river that's 1 km away from the town hall.
Any reason?
The wallet was soaked with the river's water...
The reason why it was found at the town hall is
because the dog brought it there from the riverside.
Don't laugh!
So you're saying...
The wallet was near the river.
Then a passing dog picked it up, ran one kilometer...
then dropped it off at a very visible spot of the town hall?
Yes, sir.
Get out!
Sir!
Don't ever show up near my department ever again!
A dog brought the wallet?
Complete nonsense!
Are you aware of how serious this case is?
Out! Get out of my sight!
Don't laugh!
Where did you meet your skit partner, Officer Choi?
I just met him on the street.
Lies.
So you just asked a stranger on the street to do a skit with you?
Where did I see that?
Uh Woo Ya. Is this wallet popular these days?
You don't know this? It looks like leather, doesn't it?
It's actually made of fabric.
It's not leather?
It really isn't leather!
Absolutely no scent of leather!
The designer of this wallet is a huge activist for animal rights.
He doesn't use any leather or fur.
He devised a special process to make fabric look like leather.
Pretty, isn't it?
[Yangpyeong]
Hello?
We must find the leather scent! The leather scent from her wallet!
What are you talking about?
That wallet is not made of leather! It's made of coated fabric.
Therefore, it shouldn't smell like leather.
But Ms. Joo's wallet had a very strong scent of leather.
So you're saying that the wallet got its leather scent from somewhere else?
[Shindonghwa Leather Company]
This place is filled with the same scent as that of Ms. Joo's wallet.
But the scent of her wallet was a lot stronger.
The factory manager told me their wastewater treatment machine broke down two days ago.
Some of their wastewater flowed straight into the river for an hour.
So what?
I suspect the wallet that was floating down the river soaked up the wastewater.
That explains why the wallet had both leather and freshwater scents.
Now it's certain that we much search these riverbanks to find Joo Ma Ri.
Let's go.
Go up that mountain.
Keep up the good work! Don't miss a spot!
To the mountain!
Should we take a break?
Can we call other policemen too?
Those other policemen don't believe me.
If we find something now, they'll believe me.
But we can't go on like this. It's too tiring.
Have you found a new skit partner?
Darn you.
We'll resume after a 10-minute break.
Only because I don't have a partner...
I have to deal with his threats!
What great scenery!
Was there a car accident here?
These are from brake lights...
and this from headlights.
If there are pieces of both brake lights and headlights here...
The car that was driving on that downslope...
probably hit the car that was parked here.
Hey, Oh Cho Rim.
I think there was a car accident here. Come here.
Why did I ever meet this policeman?
And why is he calling me now?
What is it?
A car accident?
Yes, I think one car was parked here.
And the other car was driving on that downslope...
What's wrong?
What's the matter?
Behind you...
There's the scent of Joo Ma Ri's perfume.

Oh my God! Look!
Do you have the same pair as these?
I really need to do well on this audition.
I want you to sound more stupid when you say that line.
I'll do my best.
Thank you.
The missing person is definitely somewhere in this mountain!
How did you figure out that Joo Ma Ri was in this river?
Please join the Special Investigation Team, Officer Choi.
Okay.
Where are you, Officer Choi? Why are you not coming?
