(Episode 12)
The duct tape at the crime scene was a different make.
The wound on the victim's wrists...
was not caused by plastic twine.
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.
This man...
is not Joo Yeon's murderer.
Is he really not the murderer?
Well... We don't have enough scientific proof.
I'm not a profiler.
Right?
These fake profilers should investigate scientifically.
They're all talk...
I don't like them.
Between the ages of 32 and 36.
Between 170cm and 175cm of height.
Good looking. Virgin. Unmarried.
Could be a security guard or has an occupation...
similar to police that wear uniform.
He thought of the victim as an object to be repaired.
That is why he used duct tape on the victim.
He cleaned the victim's body with alcohol...
because he viewed her as a filthy subject.
He cannot control himself.
The lines between fantasy and reality are blurred.
Only the desire to kill is left.
That's the reason he returned to Seodongmun Market.
Why had he stopped committing crimes for seven years?
Considering the suspect's presumed age...
and areas of activity, we narrowed down...
the numbers of suspects to 54,600 by going through...
the military, asylum, prison...
What? 54,600 suspects?
You spent all that money to...
At the moment,
we narrowed down the suspects to 38.
Is that so?
I'll name the suspect by tomorrow.
Can I count on you?
I'll catch him no matter what.
Really? Did he say that?
Yes.
I told you that underwear thief was fishy.
- I saw. - See what?
That day...
That day? The day of the murder?
You said he was the murderer.
My intuition is pretty good,
but I can't detect the subtle differences.
Subtle differences?
Anyway, the criminal lives in this house.
I need to see the crime scene.
Where was it? Where was he hiding?
It was a corner of a rooftop.
So no one came in or out of the door?
But the laundry was brought in.
That's why the criminal lives in this building.
If it's right next to the building,
he can be the next door neighbor.
I guess so.
Let's hang up for now.
I asked around...
and it looked like you put out your room for rent.
Yes. I'm going to the army next week.
Do you enjoy peeking at other people's house?
Pardon?
That's not exactly her house.
I can see her clothes dryer when I walk out of my room.
I happen to see it even when I don't want to.
Why are you all suspicious of me?
Who's suspicious of you?
Why is he staring at you?
Gosh, are you crazy?
My laundry is dirty again.
What? Me?
That's nonsense.
I was just trying to help her do her laundry.
Do you need help?
No, thank you. I'm fine. I'll manage.
I'll help you.
No, thanks.
Let me get it for you.
How long have you known Joo Yeon?
I started working after I got discharged,
so about four months.
We got acquainted at the market.
Have you ever heard her talk about...
any suspicious man around her?
The landlord.
The landlord? The guy who reported the case?
He tried to break into her room once.
Break in?
Who said that?
Did they say I peeked at her?
No.
They said you tried to break in.
This is insane.
Why would I break into a woman's house?
She wanted me to fix the doorknob, so I took a look.
But then she misunderstood me,
so I never went back to her house.
Then how did you make the report?
My wife woke me up, so I went up half-drunk.
I would never go there in my right mind.
Gosh, my wife never helps.
The rooftop room.
The landlord.
The guy on the third floor.
Aren't they all a little odd?
I feel something.
Is it your feeling again?
My 6th sense tops other 5 senses.
I synthesize all of the information I get...
through my five senses in my head, in an instant.
You will never get a feeling like this...
if you always talk as much as you do.
So who is...
this guy that you feel like is the one?
Forget about it.
(Dong Ho's Lunchbox)
Lady, I peeled all the garlic cloves.
Come here.
Will you taste...
this jangjorim?
What are you doing? Put that away.
I'm so hungry. Is there any food?
Do you have any food?
I have something which my dear Seol Ok made.
What is this?
Stir-fried eggplants. Isn't she creative?
What a mess.
Put that away.
You said you feel it.
The culprit. Who do you think it is?
Wow, I can't believe you're asking me that.
It's the guy who folded the laundry.
I shouldn't have asked.
You should peel them better than this.
What's this mess?
It's better than your onions.
No one cuts onions like that.
This is how you're supposed to do it.
They're different. The fold.
Can you tell?
This is how they fold clothes at a clothing shop.
This is completely different.
Really?
I know because I was in the business.
She's done a lot of stuff.
Do people do that at the dry cleaners?
Wait, that's the army-style.
Look at how neat they are.
- The army? - Yes.
I haven't been to it.
Yes, Corporal Park.
You are right.
This is the same tape which was used for the murder.
I knew it.
I knew it when I saw him roll his eyes.
Right, did you find anything from the laundry?
That's what I thought was fishy.
I found something unique.
Tropical, palmetto, tikel, gingham,
polar fleece, polyester,
and gaberdine. That's about it.
What are those?
Are you thinking about sneaking out at night?
I can't take the responsibility for your divorce.
Then why did you tell me you're going to catch him now?
You're making me curious.
Lady.
Never mind.
Why are you putting in so much effort?
Do you have your eyes on me?
Then how can a married woman hurry over...
right after a guy calls her?
A guy? Where's a guy?
And I'm not a married woman.
I'm a civilian profiler.
Whatever it is, I can't take your heart.
Thanks a lot. I feel much better now.
Don't expect me to take your heart one day.
As you already know, I'm a bad boy.
I already know that. You make it obvious.
Move away.
My goodness.
Gosh.
What are you doing?
Look over there.
What are you doing here?
I'm just curious.
Are these clothes?
Yes.
We buy clothes here and send them to other regions.
I see. Since they have to go a long way,
you put tape all over them.
Goodness, you have things on your jacket from working.
What are you doing?
You are very diligent.
He said you are a hard working young man.
The landlord did.
I don't see any of other ones...
covered in duct tape.
Of course. A roll of this costs a dollar...
but duct tape costs 5 dollars and 50 cents a roll.
Duct tape's expensive...
but it's tough and waterproof.
It's quite useful.
That's true. They were used to patch up space shuttles.
Some even use duct tape to make clothes.
And to fix air conditioning pipes.
And to kill with.
What are you saying?
Polar fleece.
It's a fiber we found on Joo Yeon's clean clothes.
If so many different fibers were found on her clothes,
it means they were transferred.
From the person who folded the clothes.
From the children's' clothes you usually buy and sell.
I bet the fibers are the same as what I got here.
It takes over six months to shake off the army.
- Are you okay? - He's getting away.
Stop!
Stop! Freeze!
Get him!
Hey!
Stop!
His army training must've kicked in.
Get going.
You're slow for a detective.
I'm one of the fast ones.
Over there.
Why isn't he picking up?
The call cannot be connected.
Come with me.
Let's have a look. It's him. Handcuff him.
Why won't he pick up?
Where is he?
Why'd you kill her?
She was young and sweet.
You must've had a reason.
Why'd you kill her?
Joo Yeon had mentioned him a few times.
She got free tickets and took him to the movies...
and he acted like her boyfriend.
Why do you hang these up here?
I know what I'm doing. Leave me alone.
Why does he keep looking at you?
I told you not to wear such short shorts.
No one's looking at me.
You're going on a blind date.
Why do you care?
You're going on a date when you have me?
Are you crazy?
My laundry is dirty again.
I wanted to have her before anyone else did.
I couldn't lose her.
If only she didn't fight back...
The guy form the rooftop always stole glances at her.
I thought he'd suspect something if he saw the laundry.
You did it to earn time to deal with the body?
What about the tape?
I bet everyone in Seodongmun Market...
knows about that case.
The duct tape serial murder.
It's been seven years already.
Everyone still talks about it like it was yesterday.
I heard the delivery guys talk about it.
I bet everyone knew of it.
You thought you could make it...
look like the serial killings.
It was the laundry.
The laundry? You're wrong.
The criminal always leaves a trace.
You thought you'd erased all your fingerprints.
You tore the tape with your hands.
You still had your gloves on.
A glove's markings...
are a lot like fingerprints.
It's just a matter of time before you're caught.
Why'd you kill her?
We saw him almost every day.
He killed her?
I'm so scared.
It's over now.
We caught the killer.
I think I'm going crazy.
I can't sleep and I can't eat.
I'm scared of everyone that I used to see every day.
"Will that person hurt me?"
Strangers scare me even more.
He once asked me to watch a movie with him.
If I had...
I'm going crazy.
Yoon Jeong.
Be strong.
It won't happen now.
I promise that, okay?
Can you get the police to protect me?
I'll ask.
Trust me. It won't happen from now on.
It's okay.
Thank you so much for coming to help...
this morning, you two.
You don't have to thank us.
We're ruining your business.
You aren't.
I couldn't because I had to run this store...
but I wanted to get out there to catch the killer.
I should thank you for catching him.
All we did was handcuff him.
Ms. Yoo and Detective Ha did all the work.
Once Seol Ok zooms in on a target, she never let's go.
They're always squabbling,
but they stay together and solve crimes.
It's really odd.
Is Detective Ha usually like that?
Seol Ok's not usually that snarky or fierce.
Detective Ha's usually very quiet.
He's never rude to a woman.
You don't think...
- No, right? - No, right?
- It can't be. - It can't be.
- No. - Captain.
Why does Detective Ha hate Ms. Yoo?
He's too mean.
And he always yells at her.
She's such a nice person.
Why does he always yell?
Young man.
Does fighting mean hating?
Pardon?
Why do you think grade school boys...
tease girls so much?
I've never teased girls. I always helped them.
Isn't he cute?
He's such a good guy. He sure is.
It's so great to see someone so innocent and pure.
It makes me very happy and hopeful.
Seol Ok is just like him.
She doesn't know anything. She has no clue.
He's naive.
Very naive.
He's cute.
Lady. Why don't you go home?
Aren't you worried about your mother-in-law?
I told her I had to work all night...
because of a bulk order.
Your mother-in-law isn't calling you often.
What's going on?
It seems like Gyung Mi persuaded her.
Yes, I'm her friend. But I'm also her boss.
She left work early...
saying she had to prepare dinner.
She came to work late because of eggs on sale.
I'll go home and talk to her.
Persuaded her?
Get out of my way.
Hello.
Have you been together all night?
Yes.
Don't get us wrong.
It wasn't like that.
I was in the interrogation room. She was in the lounge.
Don't look at us that way.
We were together sometimes.
Right?
You must be really tired, Ms. Yoo.
Hey, I'm tired too.
The police will do the dangerous work from now on.
I have this though.
What's going on?
I didn't see this coming.
What's that?
Did you buy her that?
Yes.
Why did you buy that for her?
Why is he overreacting?
He's jealous.
- Where's mine? - You don't get one.
I'm in more danger.
All she does is talk.
I always save her and get hurt.
Never mind.
I shouldn't ask you for anything.
You did nothing wrong. It's all my fault.
To you, Officer Hong, I'm worthless.
Well... It's not like that...
She's blowing the whistle so happily.
Stop it. It's annoying.
Yes, she's blowing the whistle.
We've been worried for nothing.
Exactly.
Goodness.
He's quite weak.
He stayed up only one night.
He's so out of it.
He's the nicest when he sleeps.
Don't wake him up.
Let's write up a report by ourselves.
Yes, sir.
He should close his mouth.
Lady, are you all right?
What's this?
A press interview?
What's that?
- I don't know. - Detective Ha.
Hi, Mr. Woo.
I hear you dance for public relations division now.
I wanted to come and say hi to you,
but I've been busy because of the serial murder case.
Serial murder?
Where? Here?
You really did get ousted.
Don't you see all the reporters here?
The duct tape serial killer is back in Baebang-dong...
after seven years.
The duct tape serial killer?
In Baebang-dong?
We caught the Baebang-dong culprit.
- Yes. - What?
We have to tell them before the press interview.
What's going on, Detective Ha?
I didn't get ousted.
I was dancing only temporarily.
Inspector Woo.
You must really like the restroom...
on the third floor here.
You shouldn't do the press interview.
The Baebang-dong killer got caught last night.
Okay. So?
It wasn't by the serial killer.
It was by accident,
Kang Min Cheol. 26 years old.
A clothing retailer at Seodongmun Market.
Also known as a proxy buyer.
Did you already know?
Then why have a press interview?
Do I need to report everything to you?
Please follow me.
- Wait a minute. - The national police...
You cannot enter.
But he's not the serial killer.
If he holds a press interview...
The police has been tracing him without giving up.
But unfortunately...
Excuse me.
Inspector Woo.
Is it really a serial murder case?
We have another victim of a serial murder.
At a trail near Seodongmun Market,
the duct tape serial killer from seven years ago...
has returned.
Inspector Woo, tell us about your plans.
Who was the victim?
Was the dead body...
Is it really the duct tape murder case?
Please tell us.
Hold on.
I cannot tell you...
any details. I'm sorry.
- We have to hurry. - What?
I must see the scene before Inspector Woo stops me.
You have to tell me what's going on.
She's too fast.
You should learn to be patient.
Gosh.
That is all for the duct tape serial murder case.
- Sir. - I have a question.
Don't let anyone enter the crime scene.
Not even a detective.
- Sir! - Tell us!
The duct tape serial killer from seven years ago...
has returned.
He said he returned.
What?
The case was let go...
because they couldn't catch the killer for so long.
It was written in Inspector Woo's book.
He used the Baebang-dong murder case...
in order to create the special unit.
He didn't want us to know it wasn't a serial murder,
so he didn't let us see the autopsy result.
He probably knew Baebang-dong killer...
would get caught soon...
and who he was.
Come on. He's a fake profiler.
Special unit is a team.
All the best experts are in the team.
True.
Inspector Woo already knew...
that the duct tape killer would return.
(Seodong Police Station)
(The police will protect the citizens faithfully.)
Hey, have some coffee.
(The police will protect the citizens faithfully.)
Goodness, this is killing me.
How can you sleep?
(The police will protect the citizens faithfully.)
Go sleep in the night duty room.
Go sleep in the room.
Are you ignoring me?
Hey, Jin Young.
Hey.
Jin Young.
Hey.
What's with you? Jin Young.
Jin Young. Hey!
Hey, is anyone there?
Are you okay? Jin Young!
Hey!
I made sure no one gets in except for the forensics.
I knew you wouldn't be able to stop yourself.
I'll stop you.
Let's put an end to this.
It's exactly the same.
The tape and the way the body is lied down.
And the tape is wrinkled up.
She's been suffocated.
He wrapped it around her face while she was alive.
That'll take forever for her to die. Why would he...
He's enjoying the process of death itself.
He watches them die slowly.
He's insane.
I warned you...
not to interrupt the Special Unit.
I'm not interrupting.
But I have to catch the tape serial killer.
No, I will catch him.
I will.
Inspector Woo.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Are you just coming in? - Yes.
- Have you had lunch? - I did.
He's back, isn't he?
Let's catch him together.
I have to catch him.
The Special Unit will be more than enough.
Jin Young.
(Case file)
Woo Seong Ha.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the US.
Aren't you going to visit Jin Young?
After I return,
I'll catch that jerk.
That is...
when I'll say...
goodbye to Jin Young.
I've known Jin Young since when he was a patrol.
Inspector Woo. Hey, Seong Ha.
Captain.
Only the Special Unit is allowed in.
Hey, are they the only detectives around here?
We're going to catch him.
Yes.
You don't even need to say it.
He's getting more dangerous by the day.
We have to get him as soon as possible.
They want Block 5's security camera replaced.
Go and see if you can fix it.
Okay.
If this isn't about getting revenge or money,
what can we go after to investigate?
There are no fingerprints or footprints.
That's why Inspector Woo wanted to make a Special Unit.
You cannot get this guy with regular methods.
This is so frustrating.
We have to predict the culprit's actions.
We have to find out what his signatures mean.
His signature? The tape on their faces?
And the way they are laid down.
Do you know what a signature is?
Goodness, I received a four-week training...
at the police academy.
I know the seven phases of a murder.
Aura phase, trolling phase, wooing phase,
then they capture and murder.
Stop boasting and just drive.
You don't know, do you?
Are you still on six people?
We have no time.
He has to be in the market.
(Black duct tape, Suffocated to death?)
About the tape and how they are laid out.
It probably means something.
He could've imitated something.
It seems like I've seen that somewhere.
Where at?
It just looks familiar.
I'm sure there is something like that.
Why can't I remember?
Move.
A mannequin. It's a mannequin.
Mannequins without faces.
- I see. - You're right. A mannequin.
I think you might be right.
We're going through every private security services.
There are four people who match the profiling.
No, it's three now.
If an Olympic swimmer...
hasn't swum for seven years,
what should he do...
to return to an Olympic game?
Practice?
The culprit hasn't killed anyone for seven years.
To murder someone again...
He practiced.
We must find his practice cases.
That's probably how Inspector Woo found out...
that he will be at large very soon.
Did you find him?
Send all manpower to that area.
And ask a nearby police station for backup.
I'm on my way.
There is another signature which cannot be seen.
The liquid which he used to wipe the victims' bodies.
Transparent liquid which cannot be seen in pictures.
- Water? - It's probably alcohol.
Inspector Woo wrote this in his book.
Before tape serial murder broke out,
many reports were made around Seodongmun Market...
about a man who sprinkled alcohol on women.
What? Why would he do that to random women?
It's like a warm-up.
It's something he does before he murders people.
Like a precursor?
I bet that's how Inspector Woo deduced...
when and where the killer would strike next.
Inspector Woo, Inspector Woo...
He's addicted to murder.
We're experts on catching those with addictions.
We can't stop until we catch them all.
I know the captain of that team.
I'll see if there are any similar cases.
Thanks for the coffees.
Here you go.
Someone from...
the National Police Agency came asking.
Really?
I don't know about water...
but for a while we got calls asking us to catch...
someone pouring liquor.
Really?
It smelled of liquor...
but it was freaky.
Can you keep going?
At first I thought it was a human being.
It was a doll.
A doll the size of a person.
A mannequin?
Yes, that.
When the police took it away,
I saw an arm fall off.
It was barely stuck on with some tape.
Why are people asking me about that?
Did someone else ask you?
That man on TV.
The host of "Wanted Suspects".
He didn't bury the corpse.
It could be easily revealed.
He covered her up only with branches and leaves.
The body's visible from a passing car.
Why did he leave it here?
To relive the moment of the kill?
He's a real psycho.
Park Yong Soo.
Where's Park Yong Soo?
He's out taking care of work.
Where to?
He went to Block 5 to check the security cameras.
Okay. Team 4 stays here.
The rest to the market.
Where does he sit?
Over there.
Where can we find him?
You keep asking me questions.
I told you detective work's done on foot.
He looks like a cop.
Does he?
Can't you tell?
They're terrible at stakeouts.
They're scaring the criminals off.
They need to learn from me.
Captain.
I think we have a suspect.
My captain friend just called.
Yes.
Really? Okay.
Seodongmun Market Block 5.
Inspector Woo asked for backup.
He found the killer.
We'll find out when we get there.
He wouldn't have called for backup if he wasn't sure.
He could lose the killer forever?
Let's head over.
He fixed it and left.
What are you doing here?
Promoting the police.
I'm on the PR team now.
How'd you know Park Yong Soo's here?
Is that his name?
You just missed him, didn't you?
I warned you to stay out of my way.
We're searching for the killer our own way.
Why when you aren't a cop?
Are you?
You wear makeup, get middle-aged ladies excited,
and gathered some experts to show off.
You're a celebrity.
I used my fame to put together the Special Unit.
It's the best team ever that consists of real experts.
A detective's work is done on foot.
With passion.
Do you...
really believe so?
Can a few Violent Crimes detectives catch a lunatic?
Without a budget or manpower?
Exhaustion kills more officers than anything else.
Makeup? Celebrity status?
What's wrong with that?
If it's to catch this jerk,
I'll do anything.
Don't let me see you ever again.
He can't have gotten far.
Check all possible routes.
Got it.
(Kim Hyun Gi)
Is it Park Yong Soo?
Yes. He works for a security company.
That's why he wasn't on any camera.
The killer...
will begin his hunt tonight.
Why tonight?
Because Inspector Woo's on the move.
Do you want to ride his coattails?
This really hurts my pride.
We can't beat his profiling skills,
but we can reach a conclusion faster.
Shall we profile him instead of the killer?
Something like that.
Excuse me.
People from the security company.
Do they come here often?
- Hello. - Hi.
- Suck up your stomach. - Okay.
It's been iffy around here. What do you know?
Nothing much.
What do you know, then?
Sorry to disturb you when you're at work.
I have a few questions to ask.
Did you notice or feel anything strange recently?
About what?
How about this?
Have a look around.
Go and see a doctor.
I can watch the store alone.
I'm sorry.
If you are, get well soon.
Hello?
Seol Ok.
Can you come over right now?
I'm sick and want to go home.
I'm scared.
Okay.
I'll ask someone from the substation.
You're quick.
Did you get Seol Ok's call?
Someone from the substation will pick her up.
Shall we drop by to check?
It's nearby.
Yes. I want to make sure she got home safely.
Okay.
Follow that car.
What?
Okay.
(Seol Ok)
It's Seol Ok.
She's calling to ask if I'm okay.
Don't take it.
What?
Don't take it.
No.
Yes. Okay, thanks.
Everyone who came in for backup was told to leave.
What for?
I don't know.
- What's going on? - How weird.
Listen carefully. He's disguised as a policeman.
All patrol cars are to leave the area.
Track all unknown police vehicles.
The call cannot be...
That's a fake.
There's no police mark on the lights...
and the eagle's below the yellow line.
The driver could be the killer.
No.
He is the killer.
That's his car. Where's he headed?
To your three o'clock? To Block 9?
