Oppa!
What's this?
Don't ask anything and just let me go.
Reason for Murder
Episode 5
Yes, how can I help?
People are dying here.
Crazy people busted in
and are beating my boys.
What are you doing?
I-I'm reporting to the police.
Yes, I'm a cop.
There was some trouble
Excuse me? What are you talking about?
Where did you call?
I called 114.
Why? To ask the number for Chinese takeout?
Remember!
Espionage 111, crime report 112,
In case of fire 119, narcotics 127.
What's the number for reporting narcotics?
127.
Take it.
E-Excuse me?
"I'm the exclusive narcotic distributor for Seoul area."
You report yourself, you bastard.
Here.
Hello?
I'm calling to make a report.
Yes, drugs.
No, I didn't pick it up. Ah, seriously.
It's that... I'm... I make drugs.
Let's wrap up.
Are all the druggies cleared out?
There won't be any powder clouding the air for a while.
Who gets the reduction this time?
You guys figure it out.
Let's give it to the psycho this time.
Why?
You got 10 years for Mrs. Hwang with rock, paper, scissors.
Have you got no conscience?
Hey, psycho, you take it.
Whatever.
If you're not interested, give it to me. I have 4 years left.
You and that ugly face.
What are you doing?
Yes, I'll call you back.
Yes.
Commissioner Nam!
What brings you here? Have a seat first.
I heard you rejected the warrant my boys got
for catching Hwang Kyung-soon.
Well, have a seat first, Mr. Commissioner.
I'll explain it to you over tea.
Have a seat.
Don't touch me.
How dare you touch the uniform with that dirty hand?
Hello.
Mr. Commissioner, those words are out of line.
Aigoo, you've got a lot of cookie crumbs here.
Have you forgotten the weight of the handcuffs, Prosecutor Jang?
This isn't Jongno.
That's enough, Commissioner Nam.
What brings you here, Prosecutor Oh?
I'm here because of you, Mr. Commissioner.
How's your wrist? Try moving it.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you think this is the old days?
You think you can do anything with physical strength.
Shut up and answer. Prosecutor Jang, how's your wrist?
Yes, it's fine, Sir.
Alright.
Let's put the handcuffs on now.
S-sir!
I can't just sit and watch one rotten apple like you spoiling the barrel,
putting shame on other prosecutors.
He'll know the weight of the handcuffs now.
Special prosecutor...
Including Prosecutor Jang and the police,
our goal is to completely take out all the public officials related with human trafficking.
So you're putting back on your uniform you've taken off once?
It's difficult for a prosecutor in the field to investigate,
so I'm sure they needed someone who's bumming around.
Oh right! Prosecutor Bull!
Because you see the end of whatever case you're on without mercy,
so you're called Prosecutor Bulldozer, right?
I trust that
you'll wipe out this case like a bulldozer, Prosecutor Oh.
But Mr. Commissioner, I'm really curious.
Who's the hero of your work this time?
It says special crime division on the documents,
but I've never heard of such a division.
The human trafficking organization wipe out-
you know the police and prosecutors have been on it for 3 years, right?
They still couldn't clear it out.
This division took exactly 3 weeks. 3 weeks.
I'll ask you straightforward.
Who are the head and members of the special crime division?
I'm asking you directly like this,
do you think it's because I can't find out on my own or out of respect?
Why do you want to know?
I think I may be able to give some support.
Due to the system, it's the prosecutors that wrap things up.
You're saying that you'll wrap up
cases my boys solve?
I'll take care from prosecution to sentencing.
That's of course, if you trust me.
That's very nice of you, but it's not up to me.
It's up to the one in charge.
Who's the head?
It's Lieutenant Oh Gu-tak.
Ah, Detective Oh Gu-tak?
You know him?
Of course, I know Detective Oh Gu-tak well.
The police van will be here soon. Let's get going.
Yes, I'll be right there, Detective Oh.
Something must've come up?
No, it's just a case.
They can't do it without me even though I'm not the only cop.
Detective Jung, you're a very nice person.
I wish someone like you was
on my husband's case.
A few weeks later,
I got a call,
that the killer who killed my husband turned himself in.
So I said that I
want to meet that killer.
I want see him, just once,
because I must ask him something.
What did you want to ask?
The reason...
for killing my husband.
He was a good dad and a husband
who never
blamed anyone. He was that kind of person.
What the reason was for killing someone like him.
That killer who killed your husband...
That killer...
if he
sincerely regrets,
will you
accept his apology?
Apology...
is for when making a mistake.
Murder...
isn't a mistake.
It's a crime.
I will
never forgive that man.
Ever.
Well, thank you so much for all you've done, Detective Jung.
You don't have to come anymore.
Why not?
I'll be discharged tomorrow. I need to start working again.
Why don't you stay longer and get treated longer.
If I'm here, who'll make money?
Don't you get $1,000 transferred to your account every month?
What do you mean?
Who would do that?
Where is she now?
I don't know.
I just transfer the money.
What happened?
I need to kill someone.
What can I do for you to overlook this?
If you let me kill that scumbag,
I'll do anything.
So please...
Please let me kill that piece of trash.
If I can't kill him,
I can't see her
ever again.
Jung Tae-soo,
why do you keeping getting out of line?
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Let him go.
Let him go!
Excuse me?
Lieutenant Oh Gu-tak, are you a cop or a criminal?
Don't you know why you're here?
You're here to control them!
You're here to watch and control criminals.
Hey, Inspector Yoo.
You keep saying to control them but what did Tae-soo do?
Did he kill or run away?
He came to confirm something and left because he did. What's the problem?
It's not that simple.
They're criminals.
Are they not humans?
You disregard how people change and only see them with prejudice
because of past crime they committed.
Listen well.
You may be in process but they're at the end.
You're working, trying to make your way up.
But that's not the same for them.
Their nails and bones are getting crushed but
they're barely hanging in there to move up.
Why?
Because they're dead if they fall now.
If you can't show support,
at least don't push them down. Understand?
You're a public servant.
Yes, we're on our way.
Just wait a little bit.
The police van is there.
I'll search for that Lim Jong-dae or whatever,
so don't do anything stupid, Tae-soo.
Stop the car.
What's this case about?
It's a don't-ask murder.
So what case is it?
Random don't-ask murder. Why do you keeping asking?
I heard a similar case took place in Gaseongdong.
Do you think it's connected?
You guys stay out.
It's a 5 year case.
12-caliber hunting rifle, 2 empty shells, double loaded.
Loading is small for hunting.
Then for trap shooting?
Where would I have made the shots?
Best for hiding and cover up.
Target at straight line. Perfect for shooting.
Right here.
First shot.
Second shot.
Third.
Fourth.
Then move.
Fifth.
Sixth.
Six shots, six hits! Zero error.
One shot, one hit.
Sniper.
What did you find out?
Just... that he's good at shooting?
Hunting rifle kill 3 days ago.
It's like this one.
Black hat, mask, khaki shirt,
fishing sack and hunting rifle.
Six shots, six dead.
Right, since it's probably the same guy.
Fifth and sixth shot.
Even a brief pause between the two, too.
What do you mean?
Just as I said.
Two shots
Load.
Two shots.
Same interval between shots for reloading.
Third.
Fourth.
Then reload.
But this time, it's not consecutive.
One shot first,
then fifth.
He made his sixth shot carefully,
as a hunter carefully takes his breath before
shooting down a game he's been watching.
Sixth.
The witnesses of both cases made identical testimonies.
There was a pause between last two shots.
The reason?
We'll have to find out.
Psycho, did you just smile?
You... your smiling look doesn't suit you.
Keep that frown.
How do you plan to catch the killer?
I can't tell you.
I do things on my own.
Yes, this is Yoo Mi-young.
Yes, sir!
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
The geographic profiling result is out.
After the shooting, no escape route has been identified,
so the killer's residential area is probably Gangseo-gu.
There's a high chance the killer resides in Hwayeon, Yeonchung, Gaseong areas,
according to the profiler.
Hey!
I'm talking--
Hey, wake up!
I'm not sleeping.
I'm thinking with my eyes closed.
You have your eyes opened.
I'm not sleeping. I'm thinking with my eyes closed.
- You have your eyes opened.- Ouch, what happened?
What? what? Killer what? what?
Wipe that spit.
Look at this.
Same taxi was at both shootings.
Oh, oh that?
So the killer disguised as a taxi driver?
Then he probably didn't get pulled over or searched.
It's probably with a fake license plate. Can you run it through?
Of course I can't.
Then how do we catch him?
We'll have to set up a trap and wait.
Just follow me.
Jeez, always so feisty.
Why does this smell funny?
What are you doing here?
What is that?
What do you think? It's victims' information.
Is that needed? It's a random don't-ask kill.
Yes it's needed.
Why do crimes due to society's corruption
always end up with crazy bastards' craziness, dang it!
Jung-moon, let me ask you something.
Who were the victims of Hwayeondong case?
What was the reason for killing them?
Don't ask?
Why?
Do you still think you're not the killer?
What do you think?
What do you think, Oh Gu-tak?
I hope...
Darn. I don't know.
I too,
hope...
But I don't know either.
Hyun-woo, it's been a while.
Hyung!
It's not a hunting rifle with many loads but
a hunting rifle for trap shooting with few loads.
If it's for random killing,
isn't it better to use one with several shots in one load?
Did you search guns privately registered?
Fire.
The police say they have, but nothing stands out.
Firearm storage is at the district station.
Fire.
Murder with a private gun is difficult since of the check in and out documentation.
That's why I'm here.
What do you mean?
Fire.
The killer didn't use a private gun. That's my conclusion.
Shooting range place.
There are many guns here.
What are you saying, Hyung?
Shooting range guns are managed by the police, too.
Do you work with police permission?
Can I borrow a gun to kill someone?
Hey, Hyung, really...
What, I'm kidding.
Unregistered guns. Any shooting range has a couple of them, right?
Will you look up any missing unregistered guns at Seoul, Gyeonggi shooting ranges?
You'll be faster than me.
I'm taking off. Let me know.
Hyung, you'll injure your eyes shooting like that.
You safely, me, dangerously.
It's always been like that.
Aren't you curious how I got out?
Why don't you ask?
I heard from him.
Where is he now?
Isn't he at the pawn shop?
He's not there.
If he contacts you, let me know.
I have some business to take care of with him.
I'm not good at driving and I've never driven a big car.
What?
Start the car.
I guess I'll improve with practice.
I'm ready.
If you don't take care of it in 2weeks,
you're dead, Woong-cheol.
What's today's date?
Why? Is something up?
Hey! That question with a mere formality!
August... 17th. Two days after Independence Day.
Two weeks pass by so beautifully fast.
2 hours seemed like forever in prison.
- Yeah?- Are you ready?
Yeah, Inspector Yoo, I'm ready.
I'll call again when I find the car with that license plate number.
Both cases' sixth victims worked for the same company.
Gangseo-gu Magang-dong Samjin Electricity.
First case victim, Jung Chun-gil, 46,
production 1 team manager.
He had diabetes,
so he jogged with his wife before work.
The shooting took place on the morning of August 13th.
>Second case victim, Kang Seok-ho, 38 years old.
Samjin Electricity human resources manager.
August 16th, he met Kim Mi-ae, girlfriend, at the park as usual.
Mi-ae!
So? What's the conclusion?
Pause between last two shots.
He was careful with the last victims.
Last victims of two cases worked for the same company
and both shootings took place where victims often went.
Also, first victims were both someone related to them.
Shoot their company at the first shot,
at the first shot,
force them to stay for a careful shot without any mistake.
Then what about other victims?
Yeah, what is it?
The suspect is located.
Raccoon, passing Hwayeon Station.
Hwayeon 3-dong, Ujeongsan Station.
Okay.
Turn towards Hwayeon Middle School at the intersection.
Hey, left at Hwayeon Middle School.
Yes. But Hyungnim, are we following--
Shut up and drive. I'm on the phone.
What do I do? Just rear-end from behind?
The risk is too big. Hit at the signal.
Turn right at the intersection.
- Turn right.- OK.
Oh, Hyungnim! Isn't that it? 9875?
Yeah, get close.
Now.
Wait here.
Yes.
Hey!
Are you a turtle, putting your head right in?
What are you?
Hey, where's the fishing bag?
Where's the gun? Gun!
What are you?
Are you a gang?
Shut up and open the trunk. Don't want to?
Fine, I'll open it.
What?
Please let me go!
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that to us?
You crazy...
Help me, help me.
It's been 2 weeks. Did you finish the job?
I knew it.
Let's go then!
To die.
1 dead, 4 in critical condition.
Who's the victim who died?
Cho Gap-jin, 52. He's an ordinary salary man.
Which company?
Samjin Electricity production 1 team.
What happened to Woong-cheol?
I can't locate him with the anklet GPS.
Why are you so quiet, Inspector Yoo?
You're not saying control and all that fuss.
He's not the type who'd run while making an arrest.
Something seems different.
Let's trust him and wait.
Let's trust him.
Life can get nasty, right?
How did we get this far?
You did whatever I ordered you to do.
That's Park Woong-cheol.
Can I ask a favor?
What favor?
Can I use your phone?
Are you going to call the police? Begging for life?
There's something I need to pass on.
It's something only I know and if I die here right now,
we can't catch that bastard, Hyungnim.
You saw it too just now.
A human being can't do that to another human being.
You're about to die yet you need to catch him?
That scumbag that kills innocent people
must be arrested, Hyungnim.
Please, I beg you, Hyungnim.
You can kill me after that.
Okay?
"Gun shooting in the city!"
- Hyung.- Oh.
They lost an unregistered hunting rifle about 2 weeks ago.
12-caliber trap shooting.
Thanks, I owe you one.
But doesn't that seem weird?
What?
He didn't miss a single shot for the first two cases, yet this time, he's all over the place.
Four were injured because of strong emotions
and he even shot one person twice.
It's completely different from the first two.
What do you think?
I don't know.
Kiddo, don't get too serious.
Anyway, thanks. See you later.
Tae-soo Hyung.
Aren't you curious what happened to me? Why aren't you asking me anything?
I was waiting for you to tell me.
It didn't seem like something good.
I'm going to quit killing people.
That's why...
That's too much for security.
Who is it? That scumbag that took your leg?
It's Jong-seok.
Be careful.
There's no reason for Jong-seok and me to meet.
We swore not to meet again until one dies.
Even if we do run into each other,
one will be dead.
Anyway congratulations.
Live a normal life, kid.
[Wedding Invitation]
Park Woong-cheol?
Where are you?
Why do you care? I have some business to take care of.
Business? What business do you have?
There's some business. Don't try to know too much.
The reason I personally called someone unfriendly like you is...
What... are you saying?
Are you deaf? Just listen carefully.
Before the last shot, the killer said...
Why did you do that? Why did you do that to us?
Us?
Yeah, us. Why did you do that to us?
Why are you telling me this?
I'm too dumb to understand,
but I think you'll know.
You're a dick but pretty quick on things, am I right?
That's it?
Something's up, right?
Tae-soo, get that bastard.
I'm hanging up now.
Do what you need to do, Hyungnim.
Jung Tae-soo?
Jung Tae-soo, right?
I'd like to offer you a job.
What job?
I'll pay you double of what the market price is.
I'll pay half first as a deposit and the rest after it's done.
Here. It's this person.
Please kill him as cruelly as possible.
Why do you want this person killed?
No reason.
I just want him dead.
I refuse.
Who's behind this?
Who ordered you to kill this person?
What happened?
Those you beat up disappeared.
You'll be released tomorrow.
You and Woong-cheol were quiet for a few weeks.
Park Woong-cheol, he called me.
Where is Woong-cheol?
I don't know.
But this is what he said.
Please catch that killer.
it seemed as if he can't,
but he says that's more important.
I don't know why.
Go here.
The shooters used guns stolen from here I think.
Shooters?
It's just you and me.
They're giving up their reduction to help,
so let's end this case.
They came often since about two months ago.
One seemed to be familiar with guns following hunters,
and the other didn't seem like he even held a gun in his life.
How often did they come? Those two?
Almost every day.
Jang Myung-jin, Ko Chang-sik.
Yeah.
We're ready.
Don't rush things. Standby first.
Open the door! Hey!
Move!
That's the reason?
That's it.
That's all I can tell you.
I just did what Myung-jin wanted to do.
I can't shoot so I told Myung-jin to kill them all,
but he said he couldn't trust me unless I did it too so he feels secured...
Stop.
Enough. Scumbags...
Foolish bastards.
Jang Myung-jin, where is he now?
I don't know. He said not to be in touch for a while.
How many were your initial number of hits?
It's not over yet, huh?
How many are left?
Once I help you this time, you'll let go of it quietly.
Don't worry, I'm not a low-life gangster.
Listen, even if you see someone slightly similar, check him out.
Get your head straight and be ready.
- Ok.- Ok.
12 o'clock from where I'm sitting, black hat. Check it out.
What is it? Did you catch him?
Now, you just need to take a walk
as if nothing's up.
Listen carefully. Otherwise, you'll get hurt.
Understand.
What was that?
It was a balloon. It's not him.
What is it? What?
Did you catch him? Where?
It's nothing, so calm down.
How can I calm down?
Lower your voice, dang it!
Are you yelling at me?
Which department are you affiliated with?
Jang Myung-jin!
Don't move!
- Don't come toward me! - Ah! Help me!
I understand why you're doing this.
Be quiet!
You guys were workers at Samjin Electricity.
But with CEO Lee Deok-ki's embezzlement, budget got short
so production 1 team Jung Chun-ki, Cho Gap-jin suggested firing 20 non-regular employees
to make up for the shortage.
Samjin Electricity HR manager Kang Seok-ho executed the plan.
Why... why am I getting fired?
Don't ask that. There are reasons.
Don't ask me. You said not to ask, too.
We planned to make it look like a random don't-ask killing.
Then, the police can't find the motive, either.
Without motive, the police can't find out about us,
so we won't be caught.
But this is wrong.
Killing other innocent people to cover your murder is wrong.
You lost your job, your wife died because you had no money,
and you had to put your daughter up for adoption.
Even so, this is wrong, Jang Myung-jin.
Do you know who those people were that you killed?
Cho Yong-sun, 46,
day worker caring for his mother with Alzheimer's.
Kim Cheol-ki, 57.
a father who worked for his daughter's tuition.
45 year-old Park Sang-kyu got fired recently just like you.
Don't come!
Kim Mi-jung, a 25 year old awaiting her marriage as a bride-to-be.
Don't come, bastard!
34 year-old Choi Joon-seok
was on his way from his wife's funeral,
just like you...
Honey, please... please...
Please!
If
you want to kill someone,
kill someone like me.
Someone who only hurt others by staying alive.
Kill someone like me instead.
What are you doing?
Why are those in difficult times hurting each other?
Others are responsible for this.
Why are those in a similar situation hurting each other?
Why?
Shoot!
Shoot right now!
Shoot!
Shoot me, you bastard!
Jung-moon,
that's not something you can resolve.
Jung-moon,
did that come from your heart or your head?
What is this? Why are you putting these around my wrists?
Embezzlement. That's a crime. A serious crime.
You said you'll let go of it.
I know.
But what can I say? I'm a low-life gang since I was born.
- You bast--- Take him away.
Yes.
I see why you like it here, Mr. Commissioner.
It's quiet enough to think
and to meet quietly.
I heard from Mr. Commissioner on my way here.
You want to be the prosecutor of our team?
Yes.
Why?
Bees can't pass by a flower. What do you mean, why?
You've got it wrong then, we're not flowers.
We're sewer.
Then I'll be a fly that can't pass a sewer.
You know there's a certain extent to a joke, right?
It was good to meet you. See you again later.
Why are you so closed?
Is it because your team members are criminals?
Why are you so surprised? I know more about you.
I know how they're related to you in the past.
It was 2 years ago, right?
There seems to be a lot that happened between you and them.
Do they know too? That because of that incident 2 years ago...
There's a certain extent to a joke to remain as a joke.
Think about my offer.
Aigoo.
Do you remember the first time you came to me?
You said you want to live like a human being,
that you don't want to die as a son of a Laundromat.
That's what you said.
So I let you live like a human being.
You drove a nice car, wore nice clothes, ate good stuff.
I allowed you to have a fancy life.
How can you do this to me?
Did I tell you to kill an innocent person?
Lee Jung-moon is a serial killer.
Serial killer.
It's all scratched up, Hyungnim.
When I gave that to you,
I promised to get you one
made out of real gold.
I forgot about that. It just came into my mind.
I'm sorry.
You can still keep that promise.
Kill Lee Jung-moon and let's start over.
Hyungnim, I'm sincerely thankful of what you've done to me.
But you know, Hyungnim...
Living a fancy life doesn't mean living like a human being.
I had an extravagant life working for you.
Back then, I thought I was truly living a good life.
But you know what, Hyungnim?
That time...
I always had to look over my shoulder.
I always had dreams about those I had killed.
They asked why I had done that.
I had nothing to tell them.
I couldn't sleep well then, Hyungnim.
How about you, Hyungnim?
Do you sleep well at night?
- Park Woong-cheol, you bastard.- Hyungnim.
- You piece of--- Hyungnim.
Did you lose your head?
Du-kwang Hyung!
Please let your little brother sleep well at night.
Please!
Get the car ready!
We're burying Woong-cheol's today.
Bad GuysWho Catch Bad Guys
Are you really going to kill Woong-cheol?
We got Park Woong-cheol's location.
Where is Park Woong-cheol?
What is it?
Dang it!
Who is it, who told you to get rid of me?
I think Du-kwang Hyung's been kidnapped. It's probably someone he knows well.
I think this is acting rashly.
How old do you think I am to act rashly? You can get killed acting rashly, inspector Yoo.
A curve ball with a big dip instead of a fast ball.
- Now, here's the first pitch.- Let's go.
Unless you want a hole drilled into your body, stay still.
Where the heck is Son Moon-ki?
It's a coup, a mutiny.
The father kills the grandfather, the son kills the father. What a family.
Turn the car! Turn the car!
If you want to live, listen to me, dang it!
- You just need to be gone. You need to be finished.- Du-kwang Hyung!
This wouldn't have happened if you had killed on time.
Goodbye.
