Who the hell are you?
Who are all of you?
Why do you keep following me?
Did Mr. Kim send you? Huh?
Even if you kill me, you won't get any money, so why are you always...
You remember me, right ?
You...
In my entire life, this is the first time I've been asked to follow the person who hired me.
I'll record everything.
We'll see
whether you really kill someone
or not.
You've come rather late. By 2 years.
The reason I'm here...
You know why, right?
You want to know if I recorded any proof, of whether you're a killer or not.
While I was following you, I saw it very clearly.
As to what kind of a person you are, I guess I'm the one who knows best,
even better than you.
And so?
What did you see?
I am not sure how you're going to take this, but...
Lee Jung Moon, you really are a killer.
You killed those people.
The killer in the Hwayeongdong serial murder was you.
Lee Jung Moon, it was you.
In the beginning, I didn't think you could be a murderer.
I mean...
why in the world would a serial killer want someone to record his crimes?
I could
just make some easy money by watching a lunatic do some crazy things.
That was the reason I decided no follow you.
What the hell is that kid up to?
Why you chose those people and why you wanted to kill them,
don't ask me about any of that stuff.
It was only my job to follow you and take pictures.
So I don't know anything, and I don't want to know either.
If I got too deeply involved, I might also end up getting blamed.
That would be very risky.
Someone who's too timid to even kill a cockroach, that's me.
Every Tuesday around 8 n the evening, you would come out.
You would pick someone out and then quietly follow them.
When that person went home,
you would follow them and then slip into their house.
Then exactly one hour later, you would come out of the house.
And all those people you followed, without missing a single one...
You killed all six of them like that, all six.
How do you feel? Pretty horrified, right?
Did you personally see me kill those people?
Why should I see that?
I just told you that I didn't want any trouble.
Since I followed those people,
and then those people were all found dead later,
that means I'm a killer.
Aren't you jumping to conclusions?
If you weren't the killer,
why did you always go back there?
Why were you always hanging around a house where someone had died?
Why?
And the last one you killed was a girl, right?
A high school girl. The daughter of that detective in charge of your case.
Remember ?
What about her?
The day she died, you were there, right in front of her house!
That time...
You bastard...
What about it ?
You were really scary.
It scared me so much, I nearly peed my pants.
What did you see in front of her house?
To be honest,
you were faking it back then, weren't you?
What did you see?
Just tell me.
In case the police caught you later on so you could say you didn't remember,
you pretended to be crazy.
Hiring me to take photos and all that was just part of your show!
You bastard...
I asked you what you saw.
I must be trash for believing a madman like you. I really must be a trash.
No matter how much I needed the money, I shouldn't have done this...
I...
I was so scared back then.
I never even went back to my office again!
What the hell did you see in front of her house, you bastard?
You smiled.
You...
looked at me and smiled...
You...
You smiled at me and said...
"I killed her."
"All of them."
"I killed them all."
The Shadow of Truth
Episode 8
You killed them.
You wanted to kill me too. It was you, Lee Jung Moon!
In fact, aren't you the one who killed your parents too?
And after you killed them, you pretended not to remember.
What car is this ?
Why would I get out of this car?
It was probably a friend or an accomplice's car, wasn't it ?
Why do you think that?
Every time you got out of that car,
you would kill someone.
A high school girl. The daughter of that detective in charge of your case.
The day she died, you were there, right in front of her house!
Anyway, be sure to come home early today.
Your dad's going to make the kimchi stew that you like so much.
Really, What's going on with you?
You're even cooking for your daughter?
Since I have to be leaving soon, are you already missing me?
Let's eat!
Miss Daughter! Why aren't you answering my call?
Your flight is early morning, so come early today.
Some emergency came up, so don't wait for me. Have dinner when you get home.
I made kimchi stew. Daddy will be home soon.
It's exactly the same.
But why outside?
He kills inside the house.
But why, what about Ji-yeon?
Ji-yeon was killed in the house too.
But then why was she...
Why outside...
Why do you think...
I didn't even,
for Ji Hyeon,
get to prepare
a proper meal.
What kind of a father am I,
sending her a long way to her mother up there, my only daughter,
yet I didn't even get to prepare a meal for her.
I can't forgive myself.
There's only one way.
I'll kill that bastard
who killed Ji-yeon, and then
I'll kneel in front of Ji Hyeon
and apologize.
I'm sorry I'm not a good father.
And as her father... I will ask...
her forgiveness.
Like that...
I will apologize to her like that...
Lee Jung-moon, what are you doing?
I heard someone left without permission.
Why did you do that?
How did you...
I think I asked you why.
What's the reason for unauthorized leave?
That case 3 years ago has become a poison to you and me.
I can do whatever I can.
Whatever I do, I'll be plead not guilty with mental condition. Why?
Because I'm a psychopath.
Isn't that it, Lee Jung-moon?
Are you done?
I'm sorry, I should've told you earlier.
No, if you work in the front line,
taking action first and reporting later happens often.
Don't worry about it too much.
But still...
I don't care, like your division. Alright?
Get to the hospital first.
I need to take care of some business.
What is it? Is there something more to add?
I have something to ask.
Shoot away. Feel free to ask whatever you want to ask.
What's the relationship between Lee Jung-moon and you?
Oh... it's just...
Last time and just now too,
it doesn't seem like an ordinary one.
I was Lee Jung-moon case prosecutor.
You mean the Hwayeon-dong serial killing?
No, before that.
Lee Jung-moon's first murder. I was on that case.
First murder?
Then, before this case...
3 years ago when Lee Jung-moon was an ordinary graduate student.
The case that revealed a graduate student to be a psychopath.
That's when it happened, September 19th, 2011.
I don't think there's going to be much more here.
Here too... Let's go.
Why my house?
Huh?
Wait!
Even if Lee Jung-moon killed those burglars,
it sounds like a reasonable self-defense.
Yes, it was self-defense.
Self-defense, a countermeasure that involves defending one's property or the well-being of another from harm.
Affiliated detectives also thought so,
until they saw the crime scene.
Clause 2, Article 21 of Criminal Law,
when excessive benefit and protection of the law is forced on,
it states that it may not be accepted as self-defense.
Excessive benefit and protection of the law, the excessive defense.
It was perfect text for Lee Jung-moon.
So that case was passed on to me.
What happened then?
Straight to the conclusion, the warrant was dismissed and I released Lee Jung-moon.
And the reason was?
I came to conclusion that no one can maintain one's consciousness
when witnessing the murder of one's parents and
most importantly, he was a patient, not a murderer back then.
You're a psychopath, Lee Jung-moon.
Psychopath murderer is a patient.
Interesting interpretation.
You don't still think that way, do you?
Lee Jung-moon whom I released thinking he was a patient
became a murderer and caused Hwayeon-dong case.
You're right.
That's why I quit when that case happened.
I feel responsible.
I plan not to make the same mistake.
What do you mean by that?
Why do you think I joined this team?
Just a second.
Yes, this is Yoo Mi-young.
What?
When did you come?
Jung-moon,
let me ask you one thing.
When you killed those burglars who killed your parents,
how did it feel?
Were you happy?
Sad?
Or dispirited?
You know better in that area than I do.
Tell me,
how it felt when you killed them.
Jung-moon, when my daughter Ji-yeon died,
I gave up on myself.
My daughter died, how could I eat or sleep,
turn the fan on if it's hot
and the heater when cold.
My head was filled with useless junk
and I didn't eat or sleep,
like that.
I was living in this world like that,
like a scumbag.
But after some time,
I was taking care of myself.
I had 3 meals per day, slept regularly,
washed regularly, shaved, worked out when I had time,
turned the fan on when it got hot and the heater when cold.
Like that...
I was living like that.
Why had I
changed?
Huh?
There's only one reason.
When I face that bastard who killed my daughter,
I can't be weaker than him.
I have to take revenge.
You think I'm the killer?
You think
I killed your daughter?
Why?
You still don't think you're the killer?
Oh Gu-tak, what do you think?
I hoped...
Dang, I don't know.
Same here.
I hoped...
but I don't know either.
Why did you come to see me?
Why did you come
and tell me about Yoo-jin?
Why would I be sorry?
My case detective told me.
That person said
that you're feeling sorry to me.
I asked you then.
I get the same question when
I see you, Oh Gu-tak.
What are you thinking?
What do you want from me,
the truth or blame?
If you want the truth, help me out one last time.
If you want to blame, then pull that trigger.
Kill me right now!
What if blame comes
after the truth?
Do whatever you wish.
Find out about this car.
This is the last chance I'm giving to you.
You're not asking
what car it is.
Let me go.
Why do you always beg to let go?
I'm going to kill you.
What's the cause of death?
It's suicide.
Suicide?
Are you sure?
Excuse me?
Usually suicide leaves a V-shaped ligature mark,
but why is this ligature mark U-shaped?
This means someone choked from the back,
and the scars around the neck and broken fingernails
show strong resistance to the outer force.
It's an obvious homicide,
yet you're saying suicide?
Let's proceed with autopsy.
I didn't hear about it.
What did you say?
I didn't hear about autopsy.
Now you have, so proceed with it.
He has no relatives or friends.
I only got orders to cremate,
and not to autopsy,
so I'll proceed with that.
Put him back in.
Hey!
Who's that person who gave such an order?
From someone you can't even look up, that's where.
Don't try to raise your head high, just look at the ground.
Raise your head, and it won't be pretty,
Inspector Yoo Mi-young.
What's the cause of death?
I can tell what's going on right now looking at your face.
Commissioner Nam Gu-hyun, he's a great man.
As a non-police academy graduate, it's respectful how far he's gotten.
But commissioner Nam is reckless sometimes, like this time.
What kind of reaction are you expecting from me?
Remember that question I asked?
Why do you think I joined this team, Inspector Yoo?
To take the cases solved by our team to the judicial...
Inspector Yoo Mi-young, you're very naive.
Think carefully.
Do you really think I'm here to do things commonly seen in movies?
Then what is it? Why did you join our team?
It's simple.
I'm here to get rid of the special crime division.
Whether the team is revealed to the public,
raising issues, or quietly getting rid of it, it's your role, Inspector Yoo.
Here's what I can offer.
Get rid of the team.
Then I'll be your golden ticket.
Don't bother thinking about it. Think of it this way.
Park Woong-cheol, Jung Tae-soo, Lee Jung-moon,
Commissioner Nam, and Detective Oh Gu-tak,
they're all nuclear bombs.
Nuclear bombs can prevent a war but also can cause one.
Why are you telling me all this?
Don't stay in the standing water that's about to get drained out,
but make your move to a new one.
But it's all up to you.
Inspector Yoo.
Before that man died,
someone went to see him.
Is it wrong I paid him a visit?
No.
It's just that he committed suicide the day after your visit.
He was smiling...
He was smirking looking at me.
The forgiveness that everyone claims is difficult,
why wouldn't I have wanted to try?
I wanted to face him like a real man
and say some bitter words.
That's right, live your whole life in prison.
That way I'll live without resenting you.
I was going to tell him that.
But...
he looked at me and said,
“I'll be working out in here, so I'll see you when I get out."
"Let's stay alive until then.”
Take it.
Take it, it's from the owner.
I'd like to ask you something, Commissioner Nam.
Take it first and then ask me.
I'll ask first.
I think that'd be more comfortable.
Ask it.
Why did you add me to the special crime team?
Because you're smart and you're ambitious.
What is that supposed to mean?
Smart ones can't see the world.
There's nothing they can't do,
so they don't know the world
that ordinary people live in.
Ambitious ones can't see people.
They're too busy being greedy
that they can't see
what others desire.
It was like that.
You picked me
because I don't know the world
and people?
Why?
Is that bad?
It's not.
You can learn working with me.
You can learn one at a time,
and you'll get stars added later...
No.
No, Mr. Commissioner.
Really it's not...
I'm sorry.
Citizens identify with our station,
trust us and ask many questions.
I ask you to become strong and recognized police,
and... citizens identify with us, trust us and focus on
- indentifying and trust!- What's up with all the identifying and trust, jeez.
As police that clears out 4 major social evils,
we'll receive trust from the citizens.
Park Chang-joon!
Chang-joon!
Chang-joon! Where are you?
You pale and ugly face! Hyungnim is here!
Chang-joon!
What is it?
I'm here to find someone, so continue on.
Identifying and trust!
Chang-joon!
What! Why?
Chang-joon! What do you mean why? I'm here to see you.
Come out for a second.
You want me to look up the owner of this car?
That's why you made a fuss in there?
You didn't want to be there either.
What identifying and trust?
They don't even take care of the receipts right away.
Crazy dog Oh Gu-tak!
I thought you were gone by now.
Hold on.
This is Cha Jin-man's car.
You know him?
No, not well. It's call boy's car.
Call boy's car?
Yes. It is.
Why are you looking for him? Is he in trouble?
Can you print that out for me? Hurry.
Here you go.
Thanks. Let's have a drink next time.
Oh, Hyungnim!
What?
It's just... that...
I'm busy. Hurry!
I'm sorry I didn't even give you a call.
It's not that you didn't call. I didn't call you.
Because I'm reminded of Ji-yeon when I see you.
H-hyungnim...
And what's up with the office, it's the same as 2 years ago, huh?
That pot and sofa...
Change the interior. It's not very pleasing.
I'm leaving now.
If I leave, inspector Yoo will know right away.
Put your leg up.
I can't bend down.
Put your leg up.
That car you were riding, it's a call boy's car.
They take any calls,
basically illegal taxis.
The owner is Cha Jin-man. He's been driving it for 4 years,
so I don't think there's a mistake in that.
When we meet Cha Jin-man, check his face first,
whether he's that guy from 3 years ago or not.
Where can I go to see him?
Go where? He's a call boy.
He'll come since I made a call, if he wants to make money.
- Call!- Wow, you're here exactly on time.
We need to get to Yongsan. How long will it take?
Take care.
It's before rush hour, so it'll be quick. This way.
Get in.
Why?
Are you sick? What's up with your face?
Yes? N-no... No...
Did you see something you shouldn't have?
Cha Jin-man.
You know me, right?
Please let me go! If I tell you then I--
I just drove you around Hwayeon-dong area.
I don't know anything! Dr. Kim ordered.
Dr. Kim?
Who is that person?
It was about 3 years ago.
He said he'd pay me triple the price for only taking his calls.
What was the task?
When his appointment was over, I drove him to Hwayeon-dong.
Sometimes, I drove to Yeomcheon-dong or Shinwoo-dong.
So?
What did I do?
It was a different location each time but you really knew where to get off.
I just dropped the customer off they told me to.
Once I was done with that job,
I was never in touch with him again. Really!
Where's the hospital that I was treated?
It's near Guro, but I still remember where it is.
Why did I visit the hospital?
What did the hospital treat for?
Yeon Seong Psychiatric Clinic
Psychiatric clinic.
What the heck?
Yeon Seong Psychiatric Clinic
Well?
Are you remembering anything?
We'll see when we go in.
Welcome, did you make an appointment?
Did you make an appointment?
Oh, it's been a while.
Is Dr. Kim here?
Yes? Yes.
Keep your head straight.
Don't act rashly.
I wasn't here alone.
What?
Someone was here with me.
Who?
Do you remember?
Can I help you?
How long have you been working here?
Why do you ask that?
Let's make this quick.
How long have you been working here?
Almost 2 years now.
Then do you know who ran the clinic here before you?
Are you talking about Dr. Kim Dong-ho?
It's an emergency.
Where can I find him?
You're already an inspector.
Will you be able to handle the responsibility?
If you just hang in there,
you and I are together.
I live, you live.
If I die...
You get it?
Yoo Mi-young
Oh, Mi-young.
Do you remember what you said before?
A dog may bite his owner, but the owner doesn't die.
This is what I'd like to say.
Even if the dog runs away,
he'll meet another owner.
Like you said,
if he wags his tail a little,
he'll be loved by his new owner.
You...
But what about the owner?
He'll be disappointed.
There won't be a dog that will wag his tail.
Thank you for everything, Commissioner Nam Gu-hyun.
Yes, Prosecutor Oh.
That golden ticket you mentioned,
is it still valid?
Are you ready for the golden ticket?
Of course.
But under one condition.
Let's work on this together.
You don't want full responsibility?
I'm asking you to be my running mate.
Tighten your shoes.
I don't look back even if you fall behind.
Our plan isn't difficult.
Making a hole on a stone with raindrop.
If it's a sturdy stone, it'll take some time.
But if it's a cracked one like the special crime division,
then that's a different story.
Even a small water drop can crack it.
What's up suddenly?
What do I need to find out from Park Woong-cheol?
Of course, who it is that ordered to kill Lee Jung-moon.
Why?
Are you surprised I know about it?
There's no secret.
They think it's their little secret.
Park Woong-cheol and Jung Tae-soo both got that order, right?
Who ordered Du-kwang Hyung to kill Lee Jung-moon?
How do I know? I want to know, too.
Think carefully.
Is there anything he said that could be related to it?
This is what he said first time I saw him again.
There's someone I know...
His child's a victim of Hwayeon-dong serial killing.
What does finding the person who ordered to kill Lee Jung-moon
have to do with getting rid of the special crime division?
That's the biggest crack.
When the person behind Lee Jung-moon case is revealed,
the team will naturally disappear.
I was given the job to kill the psycho before too, 2 years ago.
What do you mean?
2 years ago... so...
It was when I was at Cheongsong Prison with him.
That time someone tried to kill him,
through me.
Do you not know who was behind it?
I don't know.
But
I know the delivery man.
Park Jun-cheol.
Were you given a job to kill this person 2 years ago?
So you delivered the job to Jung Tae-soo who was serving
at the same prison?
Is it right?
Who is it?
Who gave you the job to kill Lee Jung-moon?
Yes, Prosecutor Oh.
According to Lee Du-kwang and Park Jun-cheol, it's likely that
the Hwayeon-dong serial killing victim's family is the one.
That person said this,
that he's the father of a child killed by Lee Jung-moon.
He said he has to kill him for his daughter's sake.
We'll need case files from the affiliated station,
but will they give them to us?
If not, we'll have to take them from them.
I'll take care of that.
What brings you here at this hour?
I need your help 100%.
What is it? If it's your favor, then of course--
Shake up Gangseo homicide department as soon as possible.
For what cause?
These days, if we get in trouble with the police...
There are many like bribing, illegal embezzlement and all.
Who is it that you are trying to go after?
Oh Gu-tak.
Collect all cases that Oh Gu-tak even had slight interest in
and collect anything related to Oh Gu-tak.
- Now, let's hurry.- Yes, Sir.
Detective Park Chang-joon?
Yes.
You were Oh Gu-tak's partner? Until he got suspended?
So what?
Let's go with me.
Let's have a conversation. Hey!
Yes.
Hey. Let me go!
Hey, Prosecutor Baek!
Alright, thanks.
Great job!
It's this house?
Probably.
A doctor who was doing fine all of the sudden moves
to this countryside, living quietly without a reason.
Something's fishy.
Is anyone home?
Is anyone here?
Kim Dong-ho!
Is no one here?
Examination Room
Jung-moon.
Do you remember Kim Dong-ho's face?
Take it. It'll make you feel relaxed.
Who are you guys?
Lee... Lee Jung-moon?
Kim Dong-ho?
That scumbag!
You! Stop right there, you bastard!
You bastard
What serious crimes have you committed
to make you run off like this? Bastard!
Jung-moon! You're not well, so just stay there.
Why did you follow me that day?
You... Lee Jung-moon...
You bastard.
You think I didn't know?
Since when?
Since when is it that you've been watching?
Oh Gu-tak...
I can't believe you anymore.
You keep blaming.
I'll find the truth.
Rompun... It's an anesthetic.
Lee Jung-moon,
I knew you'd come find me.
I knew it all along...
I...
So...
Lee Jung-moon
The number you are dialing...
You're here.
The person who killed your daughter. Is it Lee Jung-moon?
Detective Oh, I can't believe you.
How can you involve someone like him like this?
I know everything now.
Your daughter was the last victim
I know what you did to Lee Jung-moon.
The reason you involved Park Woong-cheol, Jung Tae-soo and Lee Jung-moon
and how the three and you are connected
from something that happened 2 years ago.
I know it all.
I'll ask one thing, Detective Oh.
Whatever the past is like, present is important.
Contacting Lee Du-kwang to ask Park Woong-cheol kill Lee Jung-moon.
Go quietly take care of that Lee Jung-moon guy.
Contacting Kim Do-sik to get Jung Tae-soo to move
to kill Lee Jung-moon.
Since killing Lee Jung-moon didn't work with Park Woong-cheol and Jung Tae-soo,
the person ordered to get rid of Park Woong-cheol and Jung Tae-soo too.
If you refuse,
then I was ordered to kill you too.
The person behind the incidents that our team went through,
is it you,
Detective Oh?
Tell me.
Oh Gu-tak, is it you?
Tell me!
Oh Gu-tak!
Are you the criminal?
