He really is something else.
All right. Let's go over the case.
(Episode 11)
They're even controlling the access.
Why are they being so secretive?
Why?
Chief.
Did Detective Ha get transferred to public relations?
Now, who am I going to get news stories from?
He needs to make some trouble, so I can write articles.
Mr. Woo. How did you know?
Is something going on?
How did you find out?
(Personnel Appointments Notice)
(Bae Gwang Tae, Road Safety Division)
(Road Safety Education for Seniors)
Ladies and gentlemen.
There are three rules...
you must follow when you're crossing the road.
Stop.
Look both ways.
Then cross. Do you understand?
- Yes. - This is no fun.
The policeman that came last time sang a song.
- She's right. - Pardon?
- A trot. - A trot?
I'm not a good singer.
- When it's green - When it's green
- Please drive safely - Please drive safely
(Lee Dong Gi, Sinan Police Station, Jeonbuk Province)
(Hong Jun Oh, Female Youth Division)
He's so handsome.
He's so good looking.
Thanks.
What brings you here today?
Actually, I'm also heartbroken.
Is a heartbreak contagious?
Why is everyone heartbroken?
(Ha Wan Seung, Public Relations Division)
Did Detective Ha get sent to Public Relations?
He's the face of Seodong Police Station.
I saw him practice dancing in the hall.
- Dancing? - Dancing?
(Stop domestic violence!)
(Domestic violence is a crime.)
(Say no to domestic violence.)
- Play with us. - Come on.
- Come here. - Play with us.
- Play with us. - Play with us.
Ko Joo Yeon. 23 years old.
She was a clothing retailer at Seodongmun Market.
You don't even need to wear a necklace with this.
- No, thanks. - I have more to show you.
Come back again!
May 3 was her day off,
but she attended a staff welcoming dinner.
- Hey. - Go ahead and drink.
Will you set me up on a date?
Of course!
After the staff dinner, she went home...
around 12:30am by bus.
We have surveillance footage...
of her getting off the bus at Baebang 4-dong.
Wish me luck!
- Good luck! - Go for it!
- Bye! - Good luck!
- Break a leg! - Bye!
Good night!
Her dead body was found the next morning...
around 9:30am.
Park Kyung Mo, her landlord, found the body first.
Ms. Ko. Are you home?
She was fully clothed.
There were signs of self-defense,
but not of sexual assault.
Her bruised wrists indicate that she had been tied up.
One thing to take notice is...
that her body had been cleansed.
Her whole face was wrapped around with...
duct tape...
in clockwise...
direction.
We'll take a break and resume in 10 minutes.
Ms. Yoo.
Yes, Inspector Woo.
Is Ko Joo Yeon someone you know?
Yes.
You should be off the case.
Pardon?
Being emotionally involved...
could cloud your judgment.
I'll work harder because of that.
Inspector Woo, please let me be a part of it.
I'll catch the criminal who killed Joo Yeon.
- Sir. - Yes?
Aren't we going to catch criminals?
When can I stop dancing in a costume?
Hey, do you think...
I like singing songs at nursing homes?
Look at Dong Gi.
He's at Sinan beach...
patrolling the salt farms.
Poor Dong Gi. He has bowel problems.
I know.
Good thing he can just go anywhere.
Actually, beaches do suit Dong Gi.
Sir.
Look at his wrinkles. Poor guy.
Here's a picture of Lee Sung Hee...
Baebang-dong murder case victim.
And...
here's a picture of Seodongmun Market serial...
murder case victim.
From 2008 to 2010,
there have been five murder cases...
around Seodongmun Market area.
A serial murder case?
Is he saying...
this is the infamous tape murder case?
It was known as the tape murder case.
To be more precise, it is...
Seodongmun Market duct tape murder case.
No way.
I'm sorry. I have a lot of counseling requests.
- You're here. - Yes.
What's that uniform?
Uniform for Female Youth Division.
Things must be better for you than me.
Look at this laundry.
I still think this is suspicious.
How many people would fold their clothes so neatly?
Her clothes are folded similarly in her closet.
No, they aren't. They're completely different.
What? They're exactly the same.
She worked in a clothing store.
I'm sure she's good at folding clothes.
Something is fishy.
Stop saying something is fishy.
We need a lead to investigate.
The result of her autopsy or something.
I'll get a hold of it.
How can I talk that lady into...
giving me the autopsy result?
Detective Ha.
You have to take a picture for a campaign poster.
Coming.
Am I the only good looking guy around here?
Should I go?
I'll go.
Why?
As you can see, the victims look very similar.
What is it?
May I know the cause of their death?
The autopsy results are confidential.
Then do they all share the same...
cause of death?
Like I said, it's confidential.
As you can see,
all of their bodies were washed.
What were they washed with?
Were they all washed with the same thing?
And their faces are all wrapped with duct tape.
The ways they are wrapped are different.
In Ms. Ko's case, it goes from the left to the right.
You can tell from the way the tape is cut.
The culprit is right-handed.
However, the other victims are...
wrapped up from the right to the left.
That culprit Is left-handed.
The biggest difference is...
how the duct tape is crumpled up.
Ms. Ko's tape is straight.
However, the tape on other victims' faces are...
severely wrinkled.
What are you doing, Ms. Yoo?
The causes of their death are different.
If you tape someone's face while they are alive,
it will wrinkle up like those.
They have been suffocated to death.
However, Ms. Ko was taped...
after she died.
She did not suffocate to death.
- Ms. Yoo. - Inspector Woo.
With all due respect,
Baebang-dong murder case...
is not a serial murder case.
Stop interfering and please leave.
This was an accidental homicide.
The victim lost her underwear very often.
A few of her garments went missing on that day too.
We must capture that underwear thief first.
I specifically asked you to leave.
Why are you hiding the autopsy result?
Why do all of your meetings have to be confidential?
Could it be...
because you already know this is not...
a serial murder case?
Let me go back in.
The case will be left unresolved...
if he continues to think this is a serial murder.
It'll end up remaining as an unsolved case.
Please.
Ms. Yoo.
You don't have to come anymore.
Why not?
Is it because I spoke the truth?
The truth?
Ms. Yoo, do you have the right to say that?
I was expecting a lot from you...
because of the chief's recommendation,
but I'm disappointed.
This must be the result of your action.
It's what you got for making...
Baebang-dong murder case into a serial murder.
You got the biggest room in Seodong Police Station.
You have all of the experts,
a huge budget, and all the manpower you need.
It must be a dream for any officer.
Is that what you thought of this?
Isn't that so?
You should catch the culprit yourself.
I cannot stop you from doing that.
Yes. I will catch that criminal.
Oh, there she is.
That traitor.
Gosh, what is this?
Why did he have to show up now?
No.
Seol Ok.
Just call me lady.
Wait, just don't call on me.
How can you be so cheap?
Tell me the autopsy result.
Everything from Special Unit is confidential.
Are you boasting?
Come on, I ask of you, Seol Ok.
Whatever.
Seol Ok, come on. Tell me.
- He's hot. - He's really good looking.
- Oh my goodness. - He's so cute.
I can't sleep well...
and I can't eat either.
Is it because of your grades?
I gave up a long time ago.
I think this is an illness of the heart.
Then I'll find a therapist for you.
The line is too long.
- Next. - Are we done already?
I really need this talk.
I'm sorry.
Around what time do you think it went missing?
Hey, I thought you needed to catch the saddle thief.
Can you catch a thief who stole my heart?
What?
Look at her. She's putting up a show.
Hey, when did your saddle go missing?
That's not the problem right now.
Unbelievable.
What?
I thought he was going to Intelligence Division.
Why is he here?
Goodness.
You never come here saying you're busy.
I'm sorry.
Is it that fun to work with Inspector Woo?
I do learn a lot from him.
But I'm not so sure...
about Inspector Woo.
She can try to run,
but she's either at home or at the lunchbox shop.
Where else could she go?
Why is he here?
Darn it.
Hey.
Hey, Jang Do Jang.
Hey.
Hey, Mr. Kim.
I was worried because you didn't call.
Where are you?
I'm about to eat.
Do you think I ask because I don't know?
There's this lady I'm concerned about.
Things will be complicated if you mess with her.
You know that.
You must not get involved with Wan Seung.
Don't go anywhere near Seodong Police Station.
They keep on...
I prepared a ship for you.
Are you telling me...
to leave everything behind and run?
That ship is your last chance.
Find it.
- Yes, boss. - Yes, boss.
Boss, I apologize.
They're all gone.
What, they've gone already?
I think it's the drugs we took.
The Triad and Yakuza...
are all after him.
Do Jang's travel agency's called Global.
Do you know where he went?
I asked all my informants.
No one knows.
The idiot should've stayed in prison where it's safe.
Sorry I'm late. The traffic was bad.
Welcome.
- Have a drink. - Thanks.
Is this a team dinner?
A team dinner? As if.
We got disbanded right away, but we're still a team.
Captain, why was our team disbanded?
I wish I knew. It's so frustrating.
It happened after you joined, get it?
We had to move quickly now that you're interested.
Hang on, Captain.
Take this first.
- What's that? - It prevents hangovers.
Does it?
Don't you care about my liver?
Here. Help yourself.
Have a drink.
(Park Sung Man, Chief)
Chief Park!
Hello, sir.
It's National Police Agency business.
Why are your men butting in and getting me in trouble?
I apologize. I thought I'd warned them.
I gave them special PR jobs.
Why are they trying to solve crimes?
They should focus all their efforts on...
promoting this station!
- I apologize. - This is unbelievable.
(Special Unit)
I can't hear a thing.
Do you really not have the autopsy results?
I'd love to have a look.
How do they expect us to work?
They took every report and won't share.
Can I have what you got from the scene?
This is it.
Chief.
Stop it. You're creeping me out.
Do you really have nothing?
I don't have anything.
I don't even get briefed.
My superior does.
That's the truth.
So...
Captain Bae.
Well...
Can you leave this case alone?
Chief. I'm a detective.
Once I'm on a case,
I never give it up.
You should know that.
I do know that.
I do, but...
I used to sit right there and now...
I can't enter the conference room?
Is it the big boss' order?
Sorry, Sir.
I don't need in to catch a killer.
You shouldn't be like this, you know that?
Are you really on the case?
However we end up doing it, we'll catch the killer.
I saw the girl a few times myself.
She grinned as she bought cup noodles a few days ago.
I still don't believe she's dead.
Do catch the killer.
We will.
Some say the underwear thief did it.
Where'd you hear that?
There's nothing I don't know.
Do you think he did it?
Seol Ok.
What do you want?
I have an offer you can't refuse.
No thanks. I refuse.
The Shinim-dong case files are on it.
How could you? You said you'd get me those.
You said you wouldn't get in police business.
(Now Supermarket)
Where do we meet tomorrow?
A restaurant? Cafe?
Let's make a deal.
My case file for your autopsy report.
What if someone sees us?
Let's meet up here.
Okay.
Who cares if anyone sees us?
(Shinim Police Station)
Are you well?
What do you think?
You seem pretty good.
Do you not have any cases?
You look bored.
I don't want to get in your predicament...
and go to a substation.
I'm back at my old police station now.
There were some changes, but still.
Oh, really?
Right, the Shinim-dong case I asked you about.
It's an old case.
The files are hard to track down.
It's your stomping ground. Do you know something?
The case files went missing.
I couldn't find them.
It's an old case...
and we concluded it was a double suicide.
No one cared.
You rarely ask for favors. Sorry I couldn't help.
Don't be. Shall we have a drink one day?
You bet.
If you find the files, call me.
- Of course I will. - Bye.
(Shinim-dong Taxi Death)
I hoped to never see you again.
You're back.
You're a tough one.
Mr. Kim, it's me, Detective Ko.
(Candidate 1, Jung Min Ki)
What? The Shinim-dong case?
We should do something before it gets out of hand.
Why are you on this floor?
The Public Service Center's downstairs.
This floor's for the Special Unit...
and superintendent's office.
I wanted to use the restroom.
The one downstairs is crowded...
and has a long line and never has any tissue.
The one on this floor's always empty...
and always has an extra tissue.
Can she tell?
I'll take the autopsy result and run.
I'll run off as soon as I get it.
Here.
You look happy.
Is it because of the weather?
Give me yours first.
No, you first.
How can I trust you?
How can I trust you, lady?
Fine. Then...
we'll exchange them at the same time.
All right. At the same time.
- 1, - 1,
- 2, - 2,
- 3! - 3.
I knew it.
Don't pull any tricks this time.
I promise.
One.
- 2. - 2.
- 3. - 3.
Lady!
- Hey! - What's this?
Look at this.
(Baebang-dong Map)
What's this?
I use this map for delivery. Take a look.
What's that for? You have a delivery?
This is it.
People who got their underwear stolen.
The thief is the murderer, right?
So I asked all my customers.
It wasn't just a few.
- Here? - Yes.
Do you see anything?
I see a pattern of stealing underwear.
The thief must be the murderer, right?
Even if it's not, we must catch him.
Of course. Getting your underwear stolen...
gives you the creeps.
And people don't usually report that.
You're right. Joo Yeon got herself to report it,
but some detective didn't thoroughly investigate...
and handed the case over to someone else.
The detective said he had a bigger case to solve.
Goodness.
This country is a mess because of such detectives.
Ma'am. Sir.
- Hello. - Hi.
Look at this.
I asked every customer that came to my store.
Look.
He said he was going on a patrol. Where did he go?
He left the police station empty.
Gosh, he's making me mad.
What?
I got a report from here.
And from here.
And here too.
- There are so many. - Goodness.
What are you doing here?
- Hello, Detective Ha. - Hello.
Corporal Jang must know better.
You spend most of your time in a sauna.
That's where you get all the rumors.
What do you mean?
I only go there to take a bath sometimes.
By the way, what are you doing?
We're trying to catch the underwear thief.
We're marking all the reported thefts.
What?
There should be more than that.
Really?
Is that true?
This one.
- Here? - Yes.
This house.
- Here. - Yes.
Right here too.
- Here. - Yes.
And this one here.
- Here? - Yes.
This is crazy.
Corporal Jang knows...
everything about this neighborhood.
Hello.
- Hi, Yeon Hee. - Hello.
Your mother-in-law was looking for you.
Lady, go home. Your mother-in-law is looking for you.
It's okay.
She always looks for me.
Did you ever get your underwear stolen?
No.
And you've never lost them?
No.
My family didn't get anything stolen either.
That means...
the thief lives near that area.
Is it your husband, Kim Ho Cheol?
Are you crazy?
The thief could be the murderer.
You told me not to be prejudiced.
Can't a prosecutor steal underwear? He can.
Goodness.
How can you say that?
You must be mad.
(Baebang 3-dong)
(Mother)
Hi, Mother.
You should just go home.
I'm grocery shopping.
Really?
I'm on my way there.
I want something sweet.
I'll buy it.
I'm almost there.
Mother.
We'll mark all the houses. You should go home.
Mother, I'm at a different grocery store.
I know a good place to have a meeting.
It's okay. We'll stay here.
He's right.
Hey. What...
- Seriously. - Gyung Mi, hi!
Hello.
Ms. Kim. Your business is doing well, right?
Why does he want me there?
He said he was having a secret meeting.
He didn't tell me what it was about though.
I'm his boss. He should come to me.
Gosh.
Don't be like him.
You shouldn't order your superior around.
I won't, sir.
Well, I'm not a captain anymore.
You're the first and the last captain...
to me.
Really?
I'm lucky to have a subordinate like you.
- Hey. - Thank you.
You're really charming, you know that?
You are.
Am I? Thank you.
- Let's go. - Okay!
Where did everyone go?
Over there.
There?
Hello.
- Where... - There.
Thank you.
Why are we meeting at a lunchbox place?
- Then this isn't... - I said this house...
- This is it. - Really?
They didn't report it.
- Here too. - Right.
- And this one too. - Yes.
- This one too? - Here.
- Goodness. - There are so many.
Also, the house in front got stolen.
- Yes. - That's right.
The suspect has a particular preference.
And he's moving in an isotropic pattern.
Based on these eight clusters,
we analyzed the time...
and the frequency of the crime.
Following the least effort principle,
he's creating new crime areas...
with an initial site of the crime...
marking the center of a circle.
Based on his crime patterns and directions,
with a minimum margin of error,
we predicted...
the next scene of the crime. And it is...
(Baebang 3-dong)
One.
Two.
Here.
(Baebang 1-dong)
We did it. We made...
geographic profiling.
Special Unit doesn't have much.
He's right. They're outsiders.
They don't know about this area.
We know our neighborhood the best.
Right. Nobody knows better than I do.
I do.
Goodness. Fine.
I'm pretty knowledgeable too.
You're right.
Everyone in this neighborhood had your food.
You had quite a lot.
You're right.
As Detective Ha said,
the thief didn't steal anything around my house.
He stayed within a certain diameter of...
You should keep your eyes on your husbands.
What?
I wasn't talking to you.
The time of theft is usually...
before 8am and after 7pm.
That's pretty regular.
Then is this when he commutes?
He's pretty diligent.
He's putting on a mask.
He does not steal anything from around his house.
But he doesn't go too far either.
This is like his morning workout routine.
I never had any of mine stolen,
but the neighborhood across had many of them gone.
There are houses where they were stolen a dozen times.
If your underwear was stolen once...
They will continuously disappear.
What are the houses like?
They're all in alleys near big streets.
He is...
- using a car. - He uses a car.
What was that?
She and I are in sync.
Something is fishy about them.
I think so too.
You're right.
I never heard anything about a car.
Most of these areas are residential parking only,
so if he parked a car, he could've fought with someone.
Of course, I had to stop a few fights too.
Most of these streets have surveillance cameras.
He wouldn't expose his car that easily.
If he parked his car somewhere...
He probably has a place where he always parks.
A place where he won't have to fight anyone.
An empty house?
A daycare center? A nursing home?
You're right. There are no cars there at night.
That means he had a base.
Right here.
- No one lives here. - They moved.
- This is empty. - This one.
- This one. - This one too.
And this.
- I see. - What about this one?
This house.
With everything in consideration,
we're down to this, this, this,
this, and this place.
A total of five spots.
We'll catch him if we hide there.
Then we can split up.
I'll take this place. I think this will be it.
Then I'll take this.
It's too dangerous. I'll go with you.
What was that?
I'll go with you.
You have to do your business.
I'm scared.
Officer Lee and I will stay here.
- This place. - You should go with him.
No one took this place.
So where are we now? Where's this lunchbox place?
- This is where we are. - Here?
The car is a black SUV, license plate 53G4854.
Team 1, take 45-2 Baebang 2-dong.
Team 2, take 69-2 Baebang 3-dong.
Team 3, take 665 Baebang 4-dong.
You'll be split up into three teams.
Move.
Maybe...
he won't come here.
Ms. Yoo.
This is for you.
What is this?
It's nothing much. Take a look.
Oh, my. This is so cute.
Why are you giving this to me?
Since you are getting involved with us,
I thought you may come across many dangers.
But this doesn't mean anything weird.
Anything weird?
Yes. I was going to get a gas gun or a stun gun,
but they can be dangerous...
and it can put you in danger if it's taken away.
This is pretty.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Yes, Detective Ha.
Come here immediately. He's here.
It's a perfect place to park his car.
No streetlamps or surveillance cameras.
And there's a place to park with these empty houses.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Sir.
We arrest you for theft and housebreaking.
You have the right to remain silent...
and refuse to answer questions.
You have the right to consult an attorney.
Pardon?
I'm not a thief. I just...
brought a few underwear.
Underwear? I never said anything like that.
Just a few? Listen to yourself.
It's not just a few.
Goodness.
Look at this guy.
Why?
Do you know him?
Yes.
My next door neighbor.
- Hello. - Oh, hello.
You always get off work early.
Oh, yes.
I knew he lived around there.
I guess you don't steal from your neighborhood.
But I don't think he's the murderer.
Are you taking your neighbor's side?
We didn't even investigate. How can you know that?
He's the whole package.
You've got strings and a knife.
You probably tied the victim down with this.
Did you threaten her with this?
That's why no one heard her scream.
And you wrapped the victim's face with this tape.
It's you, isn't it?
You killed Ko Joo Yeon.
No, I didn't.
We'll take him.
We got him first.
Arrest them.
An arrest?
Is it a crime for a detective to catch a criminal?
I was the one who handcuffed him.
So what?
Ms. Yoo, you're arrested...
for disclosing confidential information.
What?
Detective Ha really caught him there.
I chose that place before he did.
I chose that place first.
My goodness.
Look, they're there.
Hey, who are those people?
Let's go.
Disclosing confidential information?
I'm not even on the Special Unit.
How can I know any confidential information?
Were you fired?
Then how did you know the criminal parked here?
It's me. I was the one who guessed.
You should take me.
What are you talking about? I guessed this place.
- What are you saying? - Inspector Woo.
You probably know that this isn't...
a serial murder and that he isn't the actual murderer.
Why are you taking things this far?
What is going on?
- Captain. - Yes.
Hi. Hey.
Inspector Woo.
Have you been well?
Hi. I heard you're heading the Special Unit.
Ms. Yoo didn't steal any of your profiles.
Captain Bae's witness to that.
She stole something?
I'm the one who mentioned this location.
Arrest me instead.
Will you please keep quiet?
- I picked this spot. - I did.
You're usually so meticulous.
You never make mistakes.
You have no right to investigate.
This is my last warning.
If you ever interrupt our investigation,
you will pay for it.
Why are you doing this?
Then tell us what you're investigating.
We need to know what to stay out of.
You keep all the files and won't share them.
Are you trying to show off?
What?
Stop it. You too, Inspector Woo.
We'll take him.
We need to ask him questions too.
Focus on promoting your police station.
We apprehended the criminal first.
This is not a case for a school counselor.
It's not for the Special Unit either.
Because...
he isn't a killer.
I really never killed anyone.
I swear, believe me.
I just took a few underwear for fun.
Look.
Plastic twine.
There's no sign of it being used.
The duct tape in the box is dusty.
There are no fingerprints on it.
He most likely forgot it was there.
You can tell because he bought a roll of green tape.
This man...
is not Joo Yeon's murderer.
He's not the murderer?
I wouldn't know.
Green tape, plastic twine, a small kitchen knife.
Even if he didn't commit murder,
that's proof that he's escalating.
He's becoming brazen and cruel.
He will resort to rape and murder in the end.
Even so,
he hasn't committed murder yet.
It's the truth.
I just stole some underwear as a prank.
Why did you buy all this?
In case I would need them at home.
Then they'd be at home.
Everything in your car is related to a case.
Your house and car.
A faithful breadwinner and an underwear thief.
Two identities that don't merge.
No. I never hurt anyone.
The first murder is never easy.
But in the end, you become a serial killer.
A monster is consuming you.
It can't be stopped.
Let's pull out.
You can have him.
He's not the serial killer we're looking for.
We have no time for petty criminals.
What?
Are some crimes more important than others?
Didn't you...
know this already?
Unbelievable.
How can a human be so detestable?
Who could have killed Joo Yeon?
Go home early.
Don't lie to your mother-in-law.
You'll be at the station early in the morning.
I'll get the confession.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Please don't...
tell my wife.
Please don't.
My wife doesn't know I do this.
Gosh.
You're back.
Hello.
You're late.
So is my husband, strangely enough.
He won't answer his phone.
He's never like that.
I have to get inside.
Goodnight.
The last bus left.
Already?
There aren't any taxis.
The late-night bus stop is...
at least 30 minutes from here.
Which way?
Forget the profiling nonsense.
I still suspect you.
Something smells.
You're up to something, aren't you?
Actually...
You didn't just steal underwear.
What else did you do?
- I saw it. - What?
That night.
What night? The night of the murder?
I couldn't say for fear of being caught for stealing.
It's okay, go on.
Did you see the murderer?
Thanks for giving me a lift.
I'm doing what a policeman is supposed to do.
The bus stop...
No!
(Queen of Mystery)
- I'm suspicious of someone. - Which one?
You're asking for my opinion?
The criminal is already unable to control himself.
Were you with him all night?
I was with him for parts of it.
The serial killer's back in Baebang-dong...
after seven years.
The killer will begin his hunt tonight.
We ride Inspector Woo's coattails?
We're profiling him instead of the killer?
I told you I'd make you pay.
That was quick.
Detectives work on their feet.
With passion.
