Dad, did you call me?
Episode 2
Yes.
Hyeon, sit down.
From now on...
we're going to live here.
People think you've gone to study abroad.
People now think you're not at home, in Korea.
The only solution I thought of was this.
I have to protect you from the world and protect the world from you...
Um...
Alright. Regarding your studies, do them with me.
We're going to start over.
How the world is and how normal people live their lives,
we're going to slowly find out about those.
Does your dad
trust you?
There are children who are pretty from birth.
There are children for whom someone said, "How pretty, so pretty," and so the children are pretty.
There are children who were stupid from birth.
and those that turn stupid because someone tells them you're stupid, so stupid.
And also...
there are those who are monsters from birth.
Someone saw them as monsters,
call them monsters,
so they become monsters.
What does your father call you?<?i>
How does he perceive you?
Are you not curious about what I talked about with that man?
Are you not curious about the promise I made?
Dad, you should have asked me.
Before calling me a monster.
Before locking me into a place like this!
You should have asked me!
I'm not looking at you like that.
I want to protect you.
No.
I
want you to grow up well.
No.
Was it necessary? -It is all strategy.
If we let go of it once, it will keep happening two or three times.
Hyung, are you in there?
Hyung, play with me.
Hyung!
I was worried whether you are coming today or not.
Seriously...
I don't know if you finally went insane, but since you waited for us...
What is that? Throw it away!
Throw it away!
Why are you like this?
I can't find his pulse.
- Is he dead? - I don't know.
It seems like he is breathing but I can't find his pulse!
Hurry!
Hey. You two should come as well.
Okay.
He's not dead, right?
He can't be like that just because he did that to his neck.
There isn't a lot of bleeding.
Your pulse is really not beating. How can you do that?
That is one of my secrets. From when I was born, it was impossible to detect this pulse.
It can be called an anatomical mutation.
That's really cool. Do you have other secrets?
I have a really big secret that is not like this.
You should go first. It's your turn now.
Now. What is your secret?
Let's have a cup of tea.
How about Hyeon?
You will never be able to see him again.
Nobody will be able to.
Dad!
What's going on?
Yi yah!
A bad person is here to kill us.
Hey!
Dad!
Hey!
This day, I lost my father
and my younger brother disappeared.
Min!
Min! Min!
And a hole appeared in my memory.
You don't remember anything?
I don't.
Not about the incident.
Do you not remember anything that happened before that?
I don't know whether this is temporary or your memory will never come back
but one important thing is that there is no need to recover your memories.
We can leave it naturally.
Truthfully, there is something I remember.
I think my son
is a monster.
What kind of a child was I,
what did I do
for my dad to call me a monster?
That's right.
What kind of a child was I?
I wanted to meet a person who knew me back then.
But the more I thought of it, there is only one person.
Back then, what kind of conversations did we have?
Some parts were forgotten, some parts were erased, and some parts were altered.
Memories are like that.
The Memory of the Murderer Lastly, since your book was released in Korea
do you have anything to say to your Korean readers?
Can I talk about something private before that?
Of course, with the understanding that you'll publish it.
I'll be sure to publish it.
There's this person who first told me about the concept of "critical period" in development.
The concept of "critical period" applies to all animals.
The time when the brain grows and develops fully.
And I call that the time when the soul is made.
If that person is alive, I want to meet him again.
There is a conversation that we need to have.
Is it your first love?
"I'm trying to recover the memory of the murderer".
That's why I sent him a message.
Since I can't find him, he should come find me first.
Maybe, the person that restarted the story that already ended
is not him
but me.
Hello, Monster
Oh, I'm so tired.
Hey, you wretch! - You surprised me!
Is this a house or a garbage can?
Did you bring side dishes? - Yeah.
I love you, Aunt.
You know that I love you a lot, right?
Geez!
But it's only kimchi?
I'm disappointed.
You know it's my specialty to give something and take it back, right?
It's a specialty that is not just.
It looks delicious.
Aigoo
Put it inside the refrigerator. - Okay.
Are you leaving?
I'm a busy person.
That rascal appeared.
That rascal? Who?
You know that rascal. Lee Hyeon.
Lee Hyeon.
That guy you stalked?
It sounds bad when you say stalking.
Let's rephrase it this way: A rascal that I tracked down and watched over.
Did he recognize you?
Recognize me? No way--
I've never regretted not studying verbal reasoning skills this much.
I don't know enough vocabulary to describe that bastard.
I think I know.
It's like how I can't describe
how dirty your house is.
That's right.
So what are you going to do?
What do you mean? For now, I have to watch over him.
Why don't you just talk to him?
I don't know if he is a friend or an enemy.
The only thing I know for sure is one thing.
He is our only connection to Lee Joon Yeong.
You are still thinking about Lee Joon Yeong?
I'm so tired. I'm going to die.
Thank you for agreeing to to the interview.
Lee Joon Yeong.
The first meeting of my father and Lee Joon Yeong.
You don't have to be so nervous.
I won't kill you here.
You killed him in the end.
Anyway, Lee Joon Yeong.
Where are you right now?
We're on patrol.
Wait, isn't he this person?
As you can see, aside from the blunt trauma to the face, the drugs in the system and manner of death matches exactly...
with the Bangbae-dong case victim.
You went to investigate at the crime scene.
Have you felt anything unusual there?
Perhaps something like a signature?
Signature?
I told you earlier about the jerk who trespassed our crime scene--
One moment.
Yes, this is Cha Ji An.
Yes? He appeared?
Thank you.
I'm going.
This shameless bastard showed up at the Bangbae-dong crime scene.
Bingo! I caught you!
Tell me more about the jerk later. It's fun.
Contact me when your blood pressure drops.
When you hear about this person, your blood pressure will shoot up.
Work hard.
This is my signature.
I want to do it like this, hyung.
It's pretty good.
No way, is Min is really alive?
If not, could it be the work of someone who knows Min, or knows about our story?
A nail that was pounded in recently.
There are no areas on the wallpaper that have faded.
Furniture and interior design taste doesn't match the paintings' taste.
Then that was chosen by another person, or was received as a gift.
A gift... from the murderer?
You're totally caught today.
Where is he?
Anyway, there definitely must be a reason why he came to the scene.
What is he looking for?
Now that I look at it again, I've seen it before somewhere.
So, with just this one picture, you want me to find out who the artist is?
Hyung, didn't you say that you're a big deal in the art world?
That's right, I did say that, but...
This is Korea.
Even if we were in the same class,
in America, we spoke informally. But still, I'm your Hyung.
Korea is an age-centered society. There's something called formal language.
There is a possibility that the artist is anonymous.
In which case, at least find out the distribution channel, the owner gallery, and the buyer.
Fine, just speak in Korean. That's better.
It's too late.
By now, they should have found his signature, or the third murder should have occurred. Why has nothing happened?
Murder? Are you chasing murders here also?
I'm requesting your cooperation, Professor. Will that do?
Should I have cooperated?
That's right. You know Jeong Soo Yeong, right?
Jeong Soo Yeong is a professor here. When he heard that you were in Korea, he asked if you could give a lecture.
So I said, "Do you really think he'll do it?
Fine, I'll do it.
Fine? There are time when you're fine?
Tell him that he was lucky. I'm agreeing to do it because I regret not agreeing to cooperate.
Aigoo, what are we doing here?
I thought I was having a conversation with you right now,
but I just don't know what we're conversing about.
- Were we ever able to communicate? - What?
Contact me when you find it.
Like I told you, finding a person with just one picture...
I remember you owing me a lot of favors.
You should repay them when you have the opportunity to repay them.
Let's use formal language!
With the first and second victims, he used two different burner phones.
Also, they're blocked from capturing cell signals, so it's impossible to track them down.
We're looking carefully at the people around the victim,
but there's no one we can point out as the suspect.
Same with the forensic results. I think he's someone who's really familiar with forensic investigation.
We still haven't gotten an answer on that request for cooperation?
Did you fail to win him over with your looks?
I haven't used it yet.
What do you think is happening in our brain when we commit a crime?
Let's take as an example, murder for insurance money, which is common in Korea.
The husband needs money because of business failure and gambling.
He decides to kill his wife.
He takes out insurance in his wife's name and wonders what the perfect method of murder is.
He searches the internet and worries about it, and makes the perfect plan.
Now, he just needs to put it into action.
This is what the amygdala says:
"My plan is perfect, so I shouldn't worry.
It responds to the person,
If I have that money, I can pay the debt, and my life will all work out.
What do you suppose the anterior cingulate cortex might say?
Stop me! Stop me! Stop me!
Move out of the way!
-The answer is? -What?
What do you suppose the anterior cingulate cortex might say?
Didn't you roll this long way in order to actively answer the question?
The anterior cingulate cortex...
would agree that it was a good.
Wrong. It disagrees.
However, it just timidly disagrees, worried about getting caught.
Last but not least, the orbitofrontal cortex takes over.
"Both opinions are valid, but I'll take this side."
Instead of listening to the voice of a weaker conscience,
it's listening more to the voice of the stronger will.
Now, the rationalization of the brain is over. Next is...
Enactment of the crime.
Death!
From the point of neurophysiology,
Central nerve controlling repression,
and the neurons in those... -This bastard!
Could not stop the desire for the violence.
How could you punish me that long for that?
An educator should have an open mind. It is not like that,right?
You are fed from the taxes. Shouldn't you chase the criminals?
Is it right to following me leisurely?
I am not following you.
I coincidently heard you are giving a special lecture and I coincidentally happened...
to be in the area. You are right! I was following you.
Why did you? -Because I need your cooperation -Is that all?
What if it's not all? -I think you have ulterior motive. -What ulterior motive?
Remember... - You remember?
Indeed not, your impression is really vague.
Huh, what a jerk! Enough with that!
Please cooperate coolly, yeah?
If you reveal your identity first.
Identity... It's overstating.
Ah, fine. So...
My identity is...
I am a fan! Your fan!
My what?
Let's say I became your fan after reading your book and watching your interview.
Let's cooperate thinking you are doing a service to the fan, yeah? -Don't want to!
Don't be like that and let's do it -No How about think about it for three seconds?
No! No! No!
Why is he play so hard to get? He'll end up doing it anyway.
Here!
I know you went to Bangbaedong's crime scene secretly.
Did you find anything? -It was planned murder.
Don't we all know that?
Bangbaedong and Dowhadong both had purple flowers.
I've searched all surrounding florists but could not find the person who purchased this flowers.
You came!
The color purple sometime is used to express sadness or death.
The women probably didn't know what door she had just opened at the moment.
It comes out in "Rain Shower" by Hwang Sun Won.
The dead girl like the color purple or something like that.
I suspect this is from the Greek Mythology.
The sun god Apollo and the west wind god Zephyr loved Hyacinth at the same time.
And Hyacinth died because of their jealousy.
The place where his blood was steeped, the purple flower was bloomed.
This very flower, Hyacinthus.
Women die because of the men. Whether it is in mythology,
olden days or even now.
Hyacinthus was a man, a boy.
Is that right?
Well, even men among themselve..Like that...
Whatever.
To sum it, the perpetrator, no I think
this is not accidental.
But planned
with purpose of killing you.
And then?
What else did you find out? -Nothing -Nothing?
We can't patternize with just two corpses.
What about the third case, not yet? -Not yet!
Fortunately.
Based on the cycle, the crime should have been occurred in a few days. So, why is it not happening?
Are you waiting for another human to die?
The more corpses, the more information we get.
What a monster...
I have hypothesis. -What is it?
It is only hypothesis. I totally love hypothesis.
When I went to the crime scene -When you trespassed
Something I didn't understand.
Based on forensics result, the cause of death for first murder was suffocation.
Other than the strangulation mark, there was no other marks on the body.
As a result of the forensics, there was a trace for an injection suspecting it is done by the perpetrator. But why?
But why would he use this method?
Psycho? Because he is a pervert?
My conclusion is that the perpetrator didn't want to leave any mark on the corpse.
He wanted to own blemishless corpse.
But..
both cases are the same, death by suffocation and strangulation marks.
But he used violence on the second victim in Dowhadong, why?
He couldn't repress his momentary anger.
Almost same height, weight, and similar facial features and moods.
She probably had a haircut recently.
This make no sense.
He used violence because of the hair?
Ted Bundy killed women looked similar to his fiancée.
This perpetrator also have a role model.
The perpetrator is killing multiple people. But in his head,
he is repeating the same murder of one person
This is the signature of Bangbaedong.
Indication for the second murder.
To sum it, like the Zodiac killer, he's challenging us to solve it.
Confidence and boldness and it is a mockery to the investigative authorities.
And the perpetrator's mockery was precise.
We didn't even know these were codes let alone solving it.
No one.
What is the code made of? -That is...
It's called "Semaphore." It was a type of signal used by sailors.
The peace sign originated from this,
and it was used by the Beatles as their album cover. Using this code as a starting point, he manipulated it a couple of times,
but it's actually a simple code.
If you decode it based on this, you get N 37.541506, which is the latitude.
Next line starts with 2 so it indicates the longitude.
Phrase like "Your head is an accessory" is just the right fit now.
That jerk...
There should be a similar message in the second crime scene.
It could be similar or completely different code.
We must find it.
The most important thing is where did the perpetrator found women with his preference?
Uh, looking for them on the streets or at the club?
No?
We need to find common place for first and second victims.
Where they may been registered like hospital, spa or wedding planners.
He said in order to find women who shared common characteristics,
there is a high probability that he may have use that method. And also...
How about past record? -Past record?
Past records? There may be unsolved cases!
Your brain is spinning as little as the size of an eye sand. -What's spinning?
You brain.
Is that right?
Why did I smile?
Sorry.
We also need to see if there are any past crimes that involved a pattern of similar victim characteristics.
If we are lucky, we could find the mistakes in
perpetrator's past crimes.
Okay, make sense.
Dont really want to listen to that jerk,
but...Let's get going!
Then, Cha Ji Ahn should look for the signature,
Eun Bok should find the list where the victims were chosen from, and Seung Hoon should track down the unsolved cases.
And for you sunbae, continue to check the unregistered phones and vehicles as well
as the eye witnesses testimony.
Uh, I really don't want to listen to that jerk.
Uh, hurry let's move.
Something good happened in the restroom?
Over there, behind us.
On my way here, I heard someone say that you and I are mother and son,
and someone else said that we were a couple, with the older woman having an affair with a younger man. They were arguing about it.
I must still look fine. Should I go tell them?
That we're mother and son.
Even if you're not my biological son, it's true that you're my son.
They already think of us like that,
so how about we make it seem more convincing, Ms. Hyeon Ji Soo?
You are so arrogant, Lee Hyeon.
Why are you doing this? It's the middle of the semester,
but you came into Korea suddenly without finishing your lectures.
And what's this about a investigation specialty?
I told you I came after I received an email, right?
So, about that mail,
The file on the Lee Joonyoung case, the one involving my father's death. I would like to see it.
Why all of a sudden? You weren't once curious about it before.
Oh, really?
Did you get your memories back?
Not yet. They're bits and pieces.
I just think it's the duty of a son and
a hyung to be curious about it at least once.
Do you believe that the cases regarding these women
are related to Lee Joon Yeong? Is that why you came?
No, it's just that I wanted to see it as something different.
There's no file.
There isn't one?
The police system was like that.
It's only been 3-4 years since an evidence room was formed.
A file before that time wouldn't exist.
I see.
Well, nothing can be done about it.
The file on the Lee Joonyoung case, the one involving my father's death. I would like to see it.
Year of 96 Lee Joong Min Death Incident
Lee Joong Min Death Incident
Cover it up forever...so that nothing ever leaks out about it.
Year of 96 Lee Joong Min Death Incident
Lee Joong Min Death Incident
Let's stop here for today.
I can't hear it.
Sleep.
Finally, it went the way you wanted it to.
Ah, I slept for a whole hour
I must be crazy.
The window. The window was open.
It was open either when the forensic team was here while investigating the scene,
or it was open during the crime.
In the meantime, if the wind had been blowing...
Yeah. -I found it!
The victims are all the members of the hotel's spa.
Really?
What that person said was right.
I'm on the verge of really liking that guy.
Like him or not, do whatever you want, but leave after having a meeting.
If the criminal works at the spa, he or she could hide.
You did well Min Saeng Joo.
Hello.
I came to find evidence to catch the person who killed you,
so please don't misunderstand anything and help me.
I found the signature-
I called you lots of times but you didn't answer.
I told you how to decode it.
It's kind of weird.
What's weird about it?
N.37.30364.E126
I sent it to the team and they solved it but
Why is it Daebu-do?
He said something about yachts. Do you think this time, the murder will happen on a yacht?
Maybe
It's weird, for him to move to the ocean after messing around in Seoul.
I thought someone like you, who has a large brain capacity, should take a look at it.
Phone.
Location coordinates.
Idiots. Location format has just been changed from decimal degrees to degrees/minutes/seconds.
What about degrees/minutes/seconds?
Report back to me as soon as you find the perpetrator.
Anyways, thank you.
Daebang-dong?
Yeh. He said something about "degrees, minutes, and seconds," which turned out to be Daebang-dong.
Wow, we almost left for Daebu-do ocean.
I really like this hyung.
Hey-
This...
But we need a list of names to compare the location.
Even if a staff at the spa is tied to this,
it's our priority to prevent a 3rd attack, don't you think?
You've worked hard.
What brings you here?
Could I see the supervisor?
But releasing customer information--
Should I bring a warrant and bring the reporters to cause a commotion?
Sunbae
We just need to know the name of the customer who resides at a specific address.
Miss Ha Yoon Ji fits the professor's profile, and she's on vacation starting today.
The Bangbae-dong and Dohwa-dong victims went on vacation one day prior to their murder.
Send the phone number. I'll keep calling it.
I'll see you at the scene.
Yes.
Answer it, please answer.
It smells good. Thank you.
Answer it, please answer.
Hello?
Ha Yoon Ji?
Yes, who is this?
I have a favor. This might sound weird, but please answer naturally as if I'm your friend.
This is Officer Cha Ji Ahn from the police department.
What's the matter?
You're not alone right? By chance, have you received purple flowers?
No way...
Okay, alright.
Okay.
My room was so dark, the lights wouldn't turn on.
But my family liked to visit my room.
One time in my room, my dad-
Hyeon.
Do you remember telling me that you were curious about what kind of adult you would become?
I'm curious... about what kind of adult you'll become.
I want to see it.
By the time you're listening to this, I'll go and keep our promise.
I'll probably already be by your side.
♬ Please protect yourself before you fade away ♬
♬ When it gets difficult, please remember me ♬
♬ I beg for you to stop and take a moment ♬
♬ I hope you'd look at me ♬
I Remember You
Serial killer? This is getting too big...
If possible, I'd like to get rid of him with my own hands.
- Should I do that? - What?
My dad died. The truth about my dad's death is-
You probably thought that you were above everyone else. "Please recognize me." "Please regard me as someone superior."
Should I... kill him for you?
You came?
"You came?"
Don't show your face in front of me here and there without warning.
Talk to me- ow!
Turn your head. I get annoyed when I see your face.
Hey! Haha, seriously-
Cha Ji An, that woman.
What's your identity?
