Hey, wait for me.
Bye! See you tomorrow.
It's raining!
What was Yoon Jung like?
Did you know Yoon Jung?
Was Yoon Jung your friend?
What are your thoughts on the Kim Yoon Jung abduction?
No!
Yeah, there's no time.
My brother is innocent! Sun Woo!
Sir.
- It's not that guy. It's not a man. - What's he saying?
Sir, the kidnapper is not a man.
Yoon Jung, what am I going to do?
My poor Yoon Jung. What am I supposed to do?
I can't go on anymore.
The problem is the unconscious act.
The trophy in the living room. The picture on the desk.
You can look into the unconscious mind through a book left in a bathroom.
In the psychological field, It's referred to as "snooping".
So you found out about them by snooping?
About what? Those two dating?
No, not that.
That they were meeting at the back gate of Hyunjin Park at 10:30 p.m.
How would you know unless you were a ghost?
It's well-known that these three were in a love triangle last year.
A nationally-known drama. The Chief Oh character was cool.
This is a recent picture of their airport fashion.
One of the three in that love triangle left for a photo shoot overseas
for four days and three nights.
That allowed two of them to meet and define their relationship.
This is Im Shi Wan's new place, which he recently publicized.
The poster in the living area is very big, isn't it?
Statistically, this means that he is very prideful and likely self-disciplined.
Kang So Ra might stay in touch with him, but they wouldn't meet so easily.
However, the day before Byun Yo Han's return
it's very possible that he broke down first.
So, the date had to be yesterday.
July 26.
What about the time? Why is it 10:30 p.m.?
Psychology comes into play even when choosing a time.
Im Shi Wan had a concert rehearsal scheduled the next morning.
If you take that into account and suppose he has to be up by 8:00 a.m.
it would be a convenient time for him to talk to Kang So Ra.
Considering they had to avoid people seeing them together
concluding that 10:30 p.m. is the obvious answer.
What about the location? Why is it Hyunjin Park?
In 1989, during the Cold War
President Bush and Gorbachev didn't meet in the States nor the Soviet Union.
They had a summit in Malta.
Why is that?
It makes sense to meet on neutral territory
in case there's a misunderstanding.
It's the same with love.
It may feel like a confrontation for those two actors, too.
Would they want to meet at their homes?
They would meet somewhere in the middle, where it's dark and secluded.
It wouldn't be unnatural to wear caps and jogging outfits.
So that's Hyunjin Park back gate. Okay?
All right, should we move on to our next matter of business?
These two... where do you think they will meet up next?
They're dating? Wow, amazing!
How did you find that out?
He dug through the garbage.
I thought that a homeless cat was digging through the trash.
So I was going to use rat poison. Man, it was a cop. A cop.
Does a cat die if it consumes rat poison?
Lieutenant Park Hae Young. That's you, isn't it?
Actress Lee Bo Young reported you as a stalker.
A stalker?
If digging through people's trash is considered stalking
then what do you call a bum that eats out of the dumpster?
An intruder?
You don't seem to understand what's going on here.
You're a cop and you dug through the trash
of a female celebrity who lives alone.
Are you a pervert?
As if that weren't enough, you sold tips to a reporter?
Money? Me?
Go through my bank account. I haven't received any money.
This is just a hobby.
Others fish and knit. I used my talents to share information.
- Is that a crime? - What are we to do with you?
Our bosses are cracking down to make sure us civil servants are working hard.
This just won't do. Come on, Detective Cha.
You should report him for damage to dignity for all cops and fire him.
Damage to dignity?
Should I tell you how a cop damages their dignity?
This is your desk, isn't it?
The Wonmi Parking Lot arson and the Jinya burglary case.
The Oasis Room Salon case.
Are you screwing around with me because you want to lessen your caseload?
You've got plenty of cases there, and they just keep multiplying.
Dragging an innocent people like myself causes damage to your dignity as a cop.
It's always people like that who hide something...
in front of them, next to them, or behind them.
They usually keep it somewhere only they can see it.
"Each pair of handcuffs comes with 2.5 liters of tears."
They keep something like this to examine their inner selves.
"I'm still a good cop." Something like that.
Isn't Batman too much?
I guess this makes you look like a detective, but...
That desk belongs to a deputy marketing section chief.
Hey, hey, hey. Don't do it.
His investigation guide is used as a coaster for ramen.
All of his recent reading materials are golf and hiking magazines.
You punk.
More important than those are these colorful business cards.
I bet my life that he's got Lee Bo Young's manager's card in here.
You've taken on this investigation at that manager's request.
Why else would the Violent Crimes Unit deal with a guy digging through trash?
Isn't that right?
Is this the kind of dignity you all were referring to?
Damage to dignity?
What a joke.
Is there any more damage that can be done to the policemen of Korea?
They say one should keep one's words straight even if one's mouth is crooked.
But look at you with your skewed words.
Well, what dignity does a cop have anymore?
They don't teach you about that at the Police University, do they?
That's why you go and digging though people's trash.
I wasn't digging. I was doing an investigation.
By the way, why are your words so short with me?
Why are you being like that? We're all undignified here.
I can keep my words short because I can.
Detective Cha, Violent Crimes Team 1.
Yes, I understand.
Just as it was about to get interesting. I had fun.
She wants to drop the charges.
She may have, but I can't.
I'll reveal that you were bribed and performed a secret investigation.
- Let go. - Yeah, of course you'd say that.
Digging through trash versus taking a request.
What a big match, though you'll both end up feeling ashamed.
Let's take this all the way and see who wins.
Sit down.
Oh, look at the time.
Just know that I'm letting you off easy this time around.
He's so rude for such a young kid.
- Gosh. - You don't need a ride, right?
Seriously? Till the end?
Lieutenant Park Hae Young, who hates cops and boasts of dignity...
Find a new start before it's too late.
You're not cut out to be a cop.
Let's not see each other again.
Have you heard from the credit card company?
I gave the call logs to him already.
- Anything new on the Yoon Jung case? - Not yet.
Why are you here?
Are you here with your mom? Are you lost?
Why are you here?
You get home right away, kid!
Hey!
Hurry up, Lee Jae Han.
Okay.
- Get that on the screen. - Yes, okay.
Hey, make this larger.
Hello, sir.
- Start. - Yes.
I'll begin the briefing on Kim Yoon Jung's abduction.
The kidnapping occurred on July 29 after school let out around 1 p.m.
Her disappearance was reported that evening at 6:44 p.m.
A letter asking for 50 million won was sent 53 minutes after.
Everyone, we ask for your cooperation. We are the Jinyang Police.
The suspect's name is Seo Hyung Joon. He is 21 years old.
He is a medical student enrolled in Sangjin University.
We immediately deployed police to his apartment, hometown, and school.
But he is already on the run, and we have yet to capture him.
What about tracking his cell phone?
He has not paid his bill in the past two months, so the phone is inactive.
Have you checked his credit card usage?
He had credit issues and had a debt of 50 million won.
His credit cards are closed, so we can't track him that way.
This world is full of bad people.
That man who kidnaps a child for 50 million won is a bad man.
And you all are even worse for not being able to catch him in this tiny country.
Hey, bird brains. Don't you know what this case means?
The entire nation is watching us.
You found the suspect and you can't even catch him?
We do have a lead.
I took a look at his credit card statements.
I noticed that many of the items and brands correlate with a woman.
So Seo Hyung Joon had a girlfriend.
He spoke to his closest friend recently about difficulties with a woman he loved.
But he didn't reveal a name.
We're still digging.
But we haven't figured out who she is.
Chief! Yoon Jung's family have received another blackmail letter.
They want 50 million won by 22:00 at Seoyoung Park.
What are you all doing? Why aren't you heading out?
About that letter and the cafe where we found the suspect's fingerprint...
We did fine Seo Hyung Joon's prints, but only of his right thumb.
If he had touched the table and had written a letter
then we should've found other fingerprints there too.
But it's strange that we only found a thumbprint.
It's as if someone deliberately left those thumbprints there.
So what?
We should look into Seo Hyung Joon's hidden girlfriend some more.
So, look into her... by yourself.
You like doing things by yourself.
But... you should watch your back.
You should give it a rest.
We looked into all the women in Seo Hyung Joon's life.
You should give it a rest too.
Sucking up to Chief Kim, that is.
Have you eaten yet?
Yes.
You sure picked a good day, transferring to our unit today.
Well...
Senior?
About what I said that time.
I think it should be resolved this weekend or so.
What?
Let me wrap everything up...
and let's talk then.
Detective Cha, the thing is...
I thought that the garbage bag was connected to our arson case.
I was told that it'd be a huge problem if the press found out.
They begged me to stop him.
They made that request from one human to another.
It wasn't some sort of bribe.
Gosh, why is there so much to do? How undignified.
Why are you worried about this stuff?
Just hand it all over. I'll do it.
I just need to have this done by tomorrow, right?
I'm really good at this. I'm just bad with computers.
Why did I drop that like a fool?
What is this?
Something isn't right.
Excuse me.
How could someone park here?
Gosh, really?
Hey! Seriously! Goodness.
What's with today? Is it a special day?
Seriously!
Really, where is he?
He's so obtuse. What is he doing?
Seriously...
Lieutenant Park.
Hello.
I'm at Sunil Psychiatric Hospital in Hanjung-dong
the place you told me about.
There's a corpse in the manhole behind the building
with a noose around his neck.
Kim Yoon Jung abduction case?
But...
His thumb has been cut off.
Someone has killed Seo Hyung Joon and made it look like suicide.
Who are you?
What are you saying?
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital? Where is that?
You are the one who told me about this place.
Lieutenant?
Why did you tell me not to come here?
What...
What's going to happen here?
What are you talking about?
Do you know me?
Which branch are you from and who are you?
Ouch.
What the heck?
Gosh...
You brought in an antique.
I think I used this when I first started out.
Is it that old?
Are you saying this was transmitting?
It doesn't have any batteries.
- Doesn't have any batteries? - Yeah, it's totally fried.
You came here because of that? You're not even on duty.
Goodness sake.
That's right, I've been pulling long hours lately.
This is what you call an obsession.
I'm just here to find proof that I'm not crazy.
I'm looking for proof that I'm totally normal.
Am I stuck?
I've totally gone crazy.
Gosh!
That scared me.
Gosh! What am I doing right now?
That radio had no batteries. It makes no sense!
Seriously.
I'm wasting my time. I'm leaving.
Over here. Take a picture of this.
How is the skeleton? Is anything strange about it?
Anything strange?
You're the strangest of them all.
What's a dignified person like you doing here?
How did you find that?
Oh, that...
And why did you call me?
Did you want to play detective with me again?
I thought it would be better to call someone I knew.
Okay, so I know this is going to sound crazy.
Can you not ask me why?
That skeleton's DNA?
Can you compare that to Seo Hyung Joon's DNA
the suspect in the Kim Yoon Jung case from fifteen years ago?
Kim Yoon Jung?
The Kim Yoon Jung abduction case?
Gender is male.
Looking at the spine length, I'd say he was about 170 cm tall.
What about his age?
It's not the person you've been looking for, Detective Cha.
The age doesn't match, either.
Looking at the condition of the bones, he was in his early 20s when he died.
What about the thumb bone?
That needs further examination.
But there's a high probability that it was forcibly sliced off
with a scalpel or some other sharp tool.
- Do you have the results? - Yes.
So did you find him?
There are currently three policeman by the name of Lee Jae Han.
I spoke to them all.
None of them knew anything about the Kim Yoon Jung abduction case.
Then was that man a ghost?
Who was this person anyway?
Okay, all right. I'm hanging up.
What's going on?
Have I lost my mind?
What is it?
What's with you?
How did you know that was Seo Hyung Joon's corpse?
It was really him?
- That was really Seo Hyung Joon? - Answer me!
How did you know that Seo Hyung Joon would be there?
Oh, I'm going to go crazy.
Let go of me, would you?
The police only found a thumbprint that belonged to Seo Hyung Joon.
And his skeleton is missing a thumb.
Who cut it off?
Kim Yoon Jung's kidnapper must have killed Seo Hyun Joon and cut it off.
So the culprit would be the only person who would know that the body was there.
How did you know?
What is your relationship to Seo Hyung Joon, exactly?
That's enough!
Is it true that we've found Seo Hyung Joon's body?
Answer me!
Yes.
Okay, hand over all the files on the remains.
Who are you to...
I have to find out who killed Seo Hyung Joon and why.
It's hard enough to find evidence, which is likely contaminated by now.
The evidence is long gone and witness reports aren't reliable anymore.
That's why cold cases are difficult.
- But, Seo Hyung Joon's corpse is-- - This isn't my call!
We have 29 hours until the statute of limitations expires.
We couldn't solve the case for the past 15 years.
Do you think you can solve the case within that time?
Don't make this into a big deal and follow procedure.
What are you doing right now?
Who is he?
What are you going to do if you know who he is?
This case will soon be closed by the National Police Agency.
So give it a rest and leave.
Damn it.
Has a suspect been revealed for the Kim Yoon Jung case?
Where was the corpse discovered?
Chief, Chief!
Yes.
I think that would be a good promotional opportunity for the police.
I understand.
Yes.
Come in.
Good work.
It turns out that Detective Lee Jae Han was right about his hunch.
What do you mean?
Seo Hyung Joon was missing a thumb.
Those are fifteen-year-old skeletal remains.
Of course, they would be damaged by now.
The autopsy report indicates that it was removed by a scalpel.
You punk, how dare you talk back to me like that.
Will you take responsibility if Lee Jae Han's case gains exposure too?
I suppose....
calling it suicide is the simplest way.
Yes, the fax is coming in. Yes.
You're sure?
Yes, between 1995 and 2000.
Yes, thank you.
- Let's talk. - Later.
Are you seriously going to give up like this?
Detective Cha.
You asked me earlier if I knew who the true culprit was
Yes, I do know. I saw the culprit.
I saw who took Yoon Jung.
I didn't get a clear look at her face.
But I saw the culprit.
Are you...
telling the truth?
It wasn't Seo Hyung Joon.
It was a woman who took Yoon Jung.
Why didn't you say anything until now?
Do you think I didn't try?
- It wasn't a man! -
I got the same response each and every time.
"All right. Now go back home."
Just like when I was young, no one listened to me.
You people were always like that.
I learned the reason why later.
Have you found the suspect's body?
Can you tell us the results of the investigation?
Tell us what happened.
Talk to us.
What about the culprit?
Did you catch him?
Will you pretend not to hear me out like those other detectives?
Detective Cha. Hey!
Detective Cha!
Do you know why cold cases are the worst?
When you know who the criminal is and what their motive was
you at least know how and why your family members died.
So even though it's hard, with time, you can bury it in your heart.
With cold cases, you don't know how or why your loved ones died.
That's something you can't forget.
Every day is like hell.
So are you going to bury the case then?
The culprit couldn't handle the pressure after committing the crime.
He took his own life.
I apologize for discovering the truth so belatedly.
No.
I'm saying I'll catch her.
So give it a rest and go back home.
How, Detective Cha?
Even deploying the entire police force wouldn't be enough
and you plan to do it alone?
Let's do it together. I'll help you.
I already told you.
You're not cut out to be a cop.
Don't waste the little time I have, and go home.
There she is. She's coming out.
Tell us about the investigation.
Do you have any results?
You're in charge of the investigation, right?
How did you find Seo Hyung Joon's body?
How did the corpse look when you found it?
Sorry, I have no comments right now.
Are you sure Seo Hyung Joon committed suicide?
No, it wasn't suicide.
Seo Hyung Joon was murdered.
He was murdered by Yoon Jung's abductor.
- Is that true? - Stop.
- Stop. Just leave. - What proof do you have?
I am the first witness who discovered the body.
He was discovered at Sunil Psychiatric Hospital with a severed thumb.
- It was not suicide! - That's enough!
Stop him.
Yoon Jung and Seo Hyung Joon's killer
is a nurse who worked at Sunil Psychiatric Hospital 15 years ago.
She is in her mid 30s and stands at about 165 centimeters tall.
She is a nurse who has experience with a scalpel.
Get him out of here now!
You may have spent these past 15 years without feeling an ounce of guilt.
But you're done for now!
We have irrefutable evidence.
Are you crazy?
You said you would catch her! This is the only way.
There's no time!
We've only got 27 hours left.
This is our last chance.
Turn on the news.
- - Who the heck is that punk?
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital?
Is there anyone we know from there?
I don't really know.
Did you see the news?
They mentioned Sunil Hospital.
I tried to stop him.
What were you doing, you punk? Huh?
I told him to do it.
What? It wasn't suicide, you say?
And you allowed him to say such baseless rumors?
Are you in your right mind? What did I say to you?
Does what I say mean nothing to you?
I did what you told me to. You said to follow procedure.
- What? - Detective Cha...
A body was found and there was evidence of murder.
Also, I even have a cop who testified to the event fifteen years ago.
I believed that investigating this was proper procedure.
- A witness? - I saw it.
The kidnapper was a woman.
If you use that as an estimate, she's about 165 centimeters tall.
Seeing as how she kidnapped a child for her purpose
I think there's a high possibility
that she suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.
With a personality like that, she won't care about other people.
Why didn't you pick up your phone?
Kid, kid!
- Turn yourself in now.
I'm going to call the cops.
How would she kill a man who can overpower her?
She'd take him to a place she knows best. Somewhere she feels comfortable.
A place that has drugs that she can use to kill him.
- What else should I move? -
You have to turn yourself in after this.
You're crazy! Hey!
That area was inaccessible and unknown to the public.
Unlike her red lips and high heels, her nails were clean cut.
That's because her job didn't allow her to get manicures,
She would have been an OR nurse who knew how to use a scalpel.
You have no evidence at all.
Are you taking the word of that young kid?
- It's worth following up on. - What?
The body was found where outsiders are barred entry.
The location was somewhere only the employees knew about.
The evidence of the severed thumb and the injection shot shows
that it was a medical personnel experienced with surgical tools.
But it wasn't a doctor.
This log names the Sunil Hospital staff five years before it was shut down.
They only had two female doctors. One was in her forties.
The other was pregnant and on leave.
And if you review Seo Hyung Joon's credit card statements
the transactions were of brands usually favored by women in their 20s.
It's been fifteen years, which puts her in her mid 30s.
So, fifteen years ago
Have you seen Nurse Kang? I haven't seen her for a while.
I've been looking for her too, but I haven't seen her.
By the way, didn't Nurse Kang work at Sunil Hospital?
That news report bothered me.
Did you check the vitals for the patient in Room 1131?
There are over a hundred nurses in here.
Are you going to meet all of them in the time we have left?
We don't have to meet them all.
Gosh, can't you just be quiet?
We made some noise about this.
We'll be able to reduce the number of nurses who worked at Sunil.
Someone will know the culprit.
You did all that to get tips?
Did you even get a single call?
Not yet.
You punk. Are you toying with us?
We have to wait at least one hour.
We're talking about to suspect someone you work with.
First, they will try to tell themselves that it's not true.
Once that person behaves suspiciously, they will call the police.
Suspicious behavior?
I lied on TV that I had irrefutable evidence.
She thought she was well-hidden for fifteen years.
What will she do if she thinks she might get caught?
She will behave out of character.
She will either suddenly disappear or wrap up her affairs.
What are you doing? Pick up.
Yes, sir.
This is Jinyang Violent Crimes, Team 1.
What?
The Kim Yoon Jung abduction case?
Yes, yes. Go on.
- Yes, this is Jinyang Violent Crimes. - Yes.
Yes, yes.
Yes, I understand. Thank you.
There's a nurse at Kyunghwan Hospital and her description she gives is similar.
The name is Son Da Yeon. Age 36.
She told the tipster not to mention that she worked at Sunil Hospital.
She said she'd meet her mom and left.
It's the same with this call too.
Please allow an official investigation.
We are going over everything we found at Seo Hyung Joon's crime scene.
If we could find a small trace of evidence
we could do a DNA test with our suspect and get our kidnapper.
If something goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility.
You'll take responsibility?
Who are you to take responsibility?
Get the culprit and get a confession.
Or get evidence that you have the culprit.
You need it within 24 hours in order to prosecute her.
Are you confident in getting it done?
Yes.
If you can't get the kidnapper
you'll get it twice as bad for the incident that happened today.
Cha Soo Hyun takes the lead and Team 2 will back her up.
Yes.
She was the one using Seo Hyung Joon's card.
She scams people and has a shopping addiction.
She used it on mostly luxury brands.
Lawyer Lee?
What was she usually like?
Did she rack up a lot of credit?
No. She's paying her mom's hospital fees, so she doesn't even use her card.
It's not her.
The culprit finds relationships bothersome.
People like that don't look after pets.
This is Choongju Hospital.
She didn't work at Sunil Psychiatric. She worked in internal medicine.
The person who called in the tip didn't like the nurse.
Yes, Jinyang Violent Crimes.
Where? Seoul Young In Hospital?
She worked in surgery before working in Sunil Psychiatric Hospital?
Yes, that's right.
Where is she now?
She suddenly disappeared after the news yesterday.
Her phone is turned off too.
What did he say?
What happened? Did you arrest her?
She's not home.
I checked every place she might be, but I don't see her.
- What about her phone? - That cell phone is still turned off.
This is Kang Sae Young's credit card activity.
She recently reserved a hotel room.
Where is this Shilo Hotel? You punk!
It's in Busan. I wrote it there.
In Busan. Busan.
Gosh. We don't have time. It's already past 9:30.
Hey, contact the branch in Busan. Tell them to use a chopper or whatever!
Okay.
Did you get her?
What is going on?
I heard that someone else is the killer.
Then do you have the killer who killed my Yoon Jung?
Didn't you say you caught the killer?
Please just tell me something. Why is nobody talking?
You have to tell me that you got the one who killed my Yoon Jung.
What happened?
We're not done with going through the evidence yet.
We only have an hour and a half.
I'm going to the court house to wait with the prosecutor.
Get a confession out of her.
That's the only way we can get the arraignment in time.
Kang Sae Young, that's you, right?
On July 29, 2000
you kidnapped Kim Yoon Jung from Jinyang Elementary School.
You pocketed 50 million won from the family as a ransom.
And then brutally murdered Kim Yoon Jung.
Is that accurate?
I did no such thing.
Why are you doing this to me?
You worked at Sunil Hospital in 2000, didn't you?
Yes.
Where and how did you meet Seo Hyung Joon?
I don't know that person.
You don't know who Kim Yoon Jung or Seo Hyung Joon is, huh?
Then why did you go into hiding after yesterday's news aired?
Hiding? I did nothing of the sort.
You should just go back now. You did all you can.
What kind of shoes was she wearing?
I couldn't figure that part out.
Why would she not pack her brand new luxury shoes?
Did you see what kind of shoes she was wearing?
I'm not sure.
I think they were brown.
- Were they brown? Is that correct? - Yes.
Yes, they were brown.
Why was your phone turned off?
I lost it.
I just took a day off from work. You can ask Nurse Yoon about it.
Nurse Yoon?
She said she'll let the hospital know for me.
Gosh, this person won't listen!
What the heck are you doing?
It's not her.
The mug handle was placed by a left-handed person.
The scissors were also for a left-handed person.
The owner of the locker... The culprit is left-handed.
It can't be...
The informant said...
You mentioned a Nurse Yoon?
Who is she?
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital?
Do we know anyone from that hospital?
I'm not sure.
What if the culprit is at our hospital?
Did you see the news? They talked about Sunil Hospital.
Nurse Yoon, you were also at Sunil Hospital.
We cannot let it end like this.
The kidnapping case 15 years ago, and now!
She's showing off her criminal tactics.
She thinks that she's better than others.
That she can manipulate and control the police!
Send Yoon Soo Ah's information to my phone.
- Okay. - Let's go. Hurry.
When did you meet that woman at the hospital again?
Around 7:30.
Yes, check the CCTV from Youngin Hospital to Jinyang for me.
The plate number is 20-MA-8178.
Detective Cha.
I found her!
Yoon Soo Ah.
That transmission was real?
