(Episode 10)
I'll confirm the reports we received one more time.
I...
went to a shopping mall last year to celebrate the first year...
anniversary of the company.
There were a lot of sales going on.
My goodness.
Sang Hyun.
Jung Min.
Jung Min. Jung Min.
Jung Min.
Over there.
Do you remember the face?
I was out of my mind,
so I didn't even see his face.
But...
the woman I saw at the shopping mall...
was a young woman.
I think she was mid 30s.
I think she's the one who kidnapped Jin Woo and Yu Na.
Jung Min.
Do you remember what happened in the car on that day?
Okay.
Then can you remember the driver's face?
You didn't see his face?
It wasn't a man.
Then was it a woman?
Jung Min. I'll show you pictures.
Tell me if you recognize them.
Him.
Did you see him?
I think we found another accomplice.
Criminals must have accepted Jin Woo as their family.
Why do you think Jin Woo didn't run away?
He helped other children run away,
but why would he go back to them?
As he was abused and raised by them,
he's probably showing signs of Stockholm syndrome.
Then he considers himself as an accomplice without realizing it.
Or maybe the criminals have Limas syndrome.
Three of them consider each other as their family...
and continue to commit crimes.
One thing for sure is that...
Jin Woo probably suffered...
from double emotions he can't embrace at a young age.
Jung Min.
Jung Min. Jung Min.
Jung Min.
Mom.
Jung Min.
Mom.
- Mom. - Go. Hurry up.
When we see that he released Jung Min at the last minute,
maybe he's not running away...
because he thinks he needs to save the other children.
Jin Woo is probably aware that other children will be...
in danger if he goes out of their control.
He probably had to pay for it too from time to time.
How did the criminals...
observe and target...
so many children...
without getting caught?
According to the profile,
there's no connection or similarity between the missing children.
Except for the fact that they're all from the same region,
they are all different ages.
There's no similar interest between the parents.
There must be something.
We're missing it.
There must be some ties between the children and the criminals.
Team Manager Kang. The parents gathered at the meeting room.
But there's a problem.
Hey.
Is it true that your son is their accomplice?
Tell me. Is it true?
Why aren't you talking? Speak!
Hold on.
I don't know what you've heard,
but you must stop.
Then is it false?
I heard it clearly...
that her son is their accomplice.
If any of our children are hurt or something happens to them...
because of your son,
I won't let you stay alive.
- Right. - I won't let you get away with it.
What moved us and you at first...
was her.
We're not here...
to attack or protect anyone.
Anyone who will not cooperate with us...
can leave now.
Honey. No.
You need to cheer up.
Don't listen to what they say.
What they said is right.
At first,
I was so excited about the fact that Jin Woo was alive,
so I forgot there were other people.
I didn't care...
whether Jin Woo was their accomplice or not.
Don't blame yourself.
Right now,
Jin Woo is trying his best to see you.
So you need to...
focus on meeting him again.
But...
I'm just so happy that Jin Woo is still alive.
Okay. Great.
Check this out.
If they were able to watch...
the children for a long time without getting any suspicion,
they're probably well aware of the children's psychology.
Nana.
What?
Team Manager Kang. We just found something.
Yu Na followed the silver car in the surveillance camera...
for this.
Take a close look.
This was on...
at Yu Na's eye level.
Animal Welfare Association?
Yes.
(Song Min Soo)
Yes. He's the one.
He was really nice to Yu Na.
Yu Na loves puppies,
so we went to their festival.
Didn't you say Yu Na has an allergy?
Did Yu Na have a pet?
No. She can't have any cats or dogs...
because of the allergy.
She can't even go near them.
The one with the allergy was you, not Yu Na.
Yes, it was me.
Team Manager Kang, most of the parents with missing children...
have been to a conference held by...
the Animal Welfare Association.
They held the conference every year...
and could easily get access to their targets.
They would choose a target...
among the children who have participated, and kidnap them.
I think we found the connection between the culprits and the kids.
We will head to Song Min Soo's office first.
Is there a problem?
But why did they...
kidnap children from a public place,
when they could have done it secretly?
On September 9,
- at Songin Amusement Park... - I'll visit the shelter and leave.
- Hwang Yu Na, a six-year-old girl, - All right. Goodbye.
- unfortunately went missing. - Goodbye.
It's been six days since she disappeared.
Yu Na's parents are having a hard time...
every day.
(Jang Jin Hwan, Business Trip)
Send me the personal details of every employee here.
Did you find something?
Take a look at him.
The wrinkles near his eyes are there,
but his smile looks awkward.
(Campaign Activity Plan, Manager Jang Jin Hwan)
Manager Jang Jin Hwan?
Do you remember what Min Young told us about hoarders?
Maybe the culprit collects children like one might collect dolls?
There's a study that says victims of sexual or violent abuse...
collect alternative items...
to avoid their own anxiety.
They become a hoarder of sorts.
It's one of their characteristics to...
repeatedly stack...
their belongs or trash.
All right.
Find out records of Jang Jin Hwan from the past as soon as possible.
(Message from Ms. Hwang)
He only has a sister called Lee Sang Hee.
Why do they have different surnames if they are brother and sister?
Is there a record of Jang Jin Hwan being adopted...
when he was young?
Yes. He was adopted when he was seven,
and Lee Sang Hee was also adopted to the same house when she was five.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
They were adopted to Mo Young Sook,
an owner of a boutique.
- Mom. - Lee Sang Hee...
requested a change of her surname to her original one.
- Stand up. Stand up. - Mom.
- Please forgive us. I'm sorry. - Mom.
Go inside.
(To Jang Jin Hwan)
Have you seen him before?
Yes, I have.
He comes here often to collect mails.
Then he doesn't live here?
No.
Team Manager Kang, I think there is another place...
where he hides the children.
I found something strange after looking at his family records...
that you requested. Look here.
(Child Abuse Crime History Records, Report on Incidents)
He's been hospitalized for broken bones a few times.
The neighbors reported the family a few times too.
But they were found innocent.
These two have been abused and assaulted...
by their parents frequently.
In 1982, Jang Jin Hwan was found at an amusement park...
after his parents left him.
Mom.
That's why...
they chose the amusement park.
These two are using the children...
to reflect their past.
They wanted the children to experience...
what they had to go through.
And while searching about Lee Sang Hee,
I found a writing she wrote to accuse a hospital...
after getting an abortion from that hospital.
Here.
(Arim Obstetrics)
It's the lyrics of a Japanese song.
Its title can be translated into "A Cheap Flower",
meaning cheap and useless.
It can also mean a hand that can be sold for a cheap price.
It became a song called...
"Why Did You Come to My House?" in Korea.
This must be a song that her step-mother...
would have sung to her whenever she abused her.
If these two people had no one else to lean on while they were abused,
and together since they were young,
everything they did makes sense.
They were registered as family,
but in fact, they were a couple.
Where would they have hidden the children?
The place where they were abused as children.
Find out the address of the house to which they were adopted.
Yes, sir.
No.
Come here.
No!
Mom!
Songin, Hayoung-gu, Guwol Road, 167-2.
That's the address.
It's the neighborhood where Yoon Seok Ho lives.
Lee Sang Hee and Jang Jin Hwan must have killed the stepparents...
to make the house into a space of their own.
And they have done the very thing...
that they blame their parents for.
Why did you come to my house?
I've come to find a flower
Are you Jang Jin Hwan?
What is this about?
We're here to investigate a child disappearance case.
We'll take a look around.
There are many children.
Yes. Right.
Are you a member of Animal Welfare Association?
But I don't see any cats of dogs in the house.
Children in the picture don't seem to look alike.
So?
Where are the children?
Their mom took them out.
You know,
it's not easy to be a good mother.
Don't move.
Jang Jin Hwan.
Put that down.
Where are the children?
Do you have a warrant?
What?
Be quiet.
If you scream one more time, I'll kill you all.
Focus on your driving.
Where is...
Hee Jae?
I sent her somewhere.
If you want to save Hee Jae, you better speed up.
Team Manager Kang.
It's Hee Jae.
(Ahn Yoon Ho, Lee Hyung Min)
Here too.
(Yoon Hyun Sung)
(Yang Yoo Jung)
Where is Jang Jin Hwan?
Hey, where is he?
He should be out by now.
I told you to keep an eye on him!
There's a surveillance camera by the door.
Get someone to watch it.
Lee Sang Hee might have escaped with the children.
Yes.
Team Manager Kang.
(Kim Sang Soo)
(Lee Jin Woo)
There's an exit to the back door in the basement.
It looks like Lee Sang Hee took the children with her.
Hello?
- Yes. It's me. - Captain.
I looked up Lee Sang Hee's closed business registration.
She ran a funeral for animals in the past.
Be quiet. Quiet!
Speed up. Speed up.
This way.
Stay here.
Wait here.
Please don't. Please.
Goodbye.
My son is next.
He's breathing.
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
To be honest,
I am afraid.
It's been over eight years.
What if...
Jin Woo doesn't recognize me?
He'd have missed you like you missed him.
Don't worry.
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh, I am so anxious.
No one mentioned anything about Hee Jae.
Gosh.
They're here.
Do you recognize me?
Mom.
Yes.
Where's Hee Jae?
Where is Hee Jae?
Why isn't Hee Jae coming?
Everyone is here. Why isn't Hee Jae here?
Why?
- Mom. - No.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Jin Woo brought it here...
saying that it was Hee Jae's favorite thing.
Jin Woo.
How long did you stay there with Hee Jae?
Hee Jae died...
while trying to save Yu Na.
My Hee Jae.
But why...
I am so sorry.
Hee Jae. Where is Hee Jae?
"Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils..."
"because it prolongs the torments of man."
Hee Jae.
Friedrich Nietzsche.
What happened there, Jin Woo?
Just tell him everything.
The man...
and the woman...
hit me and the others...
with a whip.
And they hit the others...
again and again...
while they were tied by a rope.
Jin Woo.
I wanted to ask you a favor.
Let's take...
the dead children to their family's sides.
Dong Ha had beautiful eyes.
He had a round nose.
Hee Jae...
was really cute-looking.
He had a round face,
and when he smiled, his eyes looked like a half moon.
He liked his robot.
He got angry when others touched his robot.
He didn't like it when others touched his things, right?
No.
It was because his mom had bought it for him.
He didn't want to lose it.
(Kang Hee Jae)
I need to talk to you about something.
It's important. So meet me at the address I sent you.
Aunt Sun Woo.
Han Byul.
What happened?
It's your day off.
Have you forgotten already?
We decided to take turns to look after Han Byul.
Here, it looks so delicious.
Han Byul, open up. Here is goes.
Here.
Look in front of you.
Han Byul, we're going to start.
I'll push you.
Do you like it?
- Should I push harder? - Yes.
Harder?
Ha Sun Woo.
You said you wanted to say something.
I will tell you.
Is it about the Reaper?
Open it.
So...
You knew about it?
I had forgotten.
The Reaper took the earring...
that I bought for the wedding anniversary.
I was so careless.
Then why didn't you tell us?
Why didn't you tell me?
This is something I must handle.
You two can stop now.
Sir.
I don't want my team members to be involved in this.
The deeper you go into this matter,
the higher the chance of the team being put at risk.
Do you...
not trust me?
I have a plan too.
Don't tell the others until then.
Has the water resources team made the decision yet?
I think I'll go to New York for three years.
That's where you stayed for your study.
Give him advice.
I was a poor student. I didn't go anywhere.
What? There's a steakhouse on the third street.
That's enough. Just eat your fruit.
She went pale...
after seeing the price on the menu,
and she was like, "What do we do?"
I said stop.
The waiter thought we were ordering,
so he kept saying, "Sorry. Tell me again please."
We ended up leaving.
- Gosh. - He keeps making fun of me for it.
How expensive was it?
We should go there.
- There's no need. - You should try.
I will.
No. I can't do it.
I don't want to do it.
You're running out of time.
Go through the back door now.
- Thank you for the dinner. - You're welcome.
Prepare well. Let's meet again before you leave.
- Sure. Let's meet up. - Thank you for the dinner.
- You're welcome. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Goodbye.
Let's go in.
Let's clean up tomorrow.
No. It will attract bugs.
So what?
What? You hate bugs.
Leave the bottles and boxes outside.
Do you not know where the recycle box is?
As you say.
Did you leave the back door open?
No. It must've been left open since I went to get the wine.
You scared me.
Just wait. I'm almost done.
Let's stop now and go to bed.
Fine. Fine.
112 report center. What's your emergency?
This is Hyungjoo,
73 Yeocheon-ri.
Yes. What's the matter?
People are in danger here.
Please help.
Please calm down, and tell me what's going on.
What's going on in there?
He said...
the couple in this house...
have too much.
Pardon?
What is it that they have so much?
Money.
Nice house. Imported car.
Luxury furniture.
Please calm down.
Please repeat one more time.
Please hurry up.
He'll begin soon.
There's no time. Please.
Hello? Hello?
I'll tell you what you're worried about.
Now, the executor...
will kill the owners of this house.
Did you just say you're going to kill someone?
Hello? Hello?
The victims are 34-year-old investment company CEO,
Yoon Sung Jin, and his wife, 32-year-old Lee Mi Hyun.
They were murdered in their house in Hyungjoo about an hour ago.
An hour ago?
Yes.
The police arrived five minutes after they were murdered.
What? Five minutes?
Who called the police so fast?
The criminals called the police...
and said they'll kill them soon.
Criminals? Does that mean there is an accomplice?
Yes. The first reporter asked for help...
in a terrified voice,
but then, the other man took the phone...
and said he will kill all the sinners in that house.
Sinners?
Also, when the police arrived at the site,
they found this on the bed.
That's "Dike" by Giuseppe Salviati.
"Dike"?
Yes. She's the goddess of justice from Greek mythology.
She's often used as a symbol of law.
You know even in Korean court,
there's a statue of Dike,
but unlike the myth,
she's holding a book instead of a sword on her left hand.
I analyzed the pieces of the book.
It's about the seven deadly sins and the justice.
It's from page 32 of Chapter 1 Greed Party.
I don't think this book is that well known.
The book makes a radical opinion to control...
the people and the society with law.
The seven deadly sins described in the book are...
jealousy, anger, indolence, appetite,
greed, arrogance, and sexual desire.
It's same as what's written in the bible.
That's right.
But the greed among them.
That's what they meant when they addressed the victims...
as sinners.
They execute by the law they created,
and kill people to symbolize execution.
These types of criminals...
won't stop until they are caught.
There will be a murder again soon.
What have we done?
Why? Why did you do that?
It wasn't necessary.
You didn't punish them for their sins.
You just committed murder.
What am I going to do now?
What do I do now?
It's going to start soon.
We don't have time. Please.
Hello? Hello?
I'll tell you about the seven deadly sins.
It means the executioner...
will kill all the sinners here.
The first suspect is scared...
as if he's not doing it on his own will.
If he wasn't doing it on his own will,
he would have screamed or something to warn the victims...
instead of reporting it.
What if he was being threatened by his accomplice?
If that were the case, he couldn't have made the phone call.
The second culprit said that the executioner will kill people.
Do you think there's a third person?
We can't conclude that.
Killers often...
refer to themselves in third person.
It can be that he's heightening his status...
as the judge to show off his power,
or on the contrary, to hide himself.
You're right. The serial killer, Yoo Young Chul,
also referred to himself as "the murderer" when...
describing the murders he committed.
It means they're not acknowledging their crimes.
Seeing how skillful they were in killing people in such a short time,
I doubt this is their first time.
Gather all the case files that are similar to this one.
Yes, sir. I'm already on it.
Sun Woo, go over the victims' bodies again.
If it was murder,
I'm sure there are other distinctions we can find.
Okay.
Min Young, you gather detailed information on the victims.
Don't miss anything.
This killer has clear goals that depend on what he believes in.
I'm sure he was selective with his victims accordingly.
There has to be some connection with the killer.
Han and I will go to the scene.
Let's go.
This isn't some ordinary crazy killer.
Why would he do such a thing?
Because of a sense of duty.
Holmes and Deberg categorized killers into four categories...
depending on motives and characteristics.
The four types are visionary, mission-oriented,
power-control, and hedonistic.
In this case, the killer is mission-oriented.
They murder individuals or groups they deem unworthy...
according to their twisted standards.
They consider that their mission.
In short, the killer creates...
his own strange standards,
and kills people, considering that his duty.
And those types of killers...
tend to move in groups.
I see. Did you hear the recording of the report call?
The first person to report it seemed to be dragged around.
Do you think he can be a victim too?
The relationship among accomplices is not that simple.
In the case of the two killers that murdered the Hwaseo-dong family,
One of the accomplices, Oh Ji Man, was dominating,
and the other, Choi Young Soo, was submissive.
Choi Young Soo didn't even like going into the victims' houses.
But in the end, the one that murdered the whole family wasn't...
the dominating Oh Ji Man...
but the submissive Choi Young Soo.
There's more blood...
than your usual murder scene.
Where were the victims stabbed?
They weren't stabbed.
To be more exact,
it was like this.
The two bodies have almost the same wounds.
They're both long and deep.
It penetrated both the main artery and jugular vein in the neck.
The puncture wound runs deep and long from the elbow to the wrist.
How familiar do you have to be with anatomy to do this?
You just need to know where the main artery is.
Does this killing method mean anything?
This was mainly used...
to kill animals, not humans.
It's very similar to how butchers used to kill animals.
Okay, let's try reenacting the murder.
The murderer finds out that...
his accomplice just called the police.
The police is on its way and he's running out of time.
He had to be fast.
The killer stood watch here,
and used the stairs to head up to the bedroom.
Wait. What are you doing here?
The killer probably killed Yoon Sung Jin first.
Why?
Usually, when there are multiple people to kill,
they take out the biggest risk first...
so that the situation is easier to control.
In this case, that would be the man, Yoon Sung Jin.
Lee Mi Hyun died in the bathroom.
She probably heard her husband's scream,
or felt something strange going on and couldn't leave.
Wait.
Lee Mi Hyun tried to resist in the bathroom.
But the killer used force to open the door.
And she was attacked right here.
We didn't get any fingerprints outside the door.
Did he wear gloves?
I don't know.
Killers with a strong sense of duty usually...
do not get rid of their traces in the murder scene.
Then...
The first person to report the murder...
could have gotten rid of it.
("Judge Greed With the Law")
Oh my gosh.
He's experienced.
Considering how long it took him to kill them and run,
it means he took care of all this in 3 to 4 minutes.
The station in charge covers a lot of area.
And we don't have enough people.
If we were only a bit faster...
No. The police arrived on the scene...
3 minutes and 47 seconds after the report. It was very fast.
The national average was 5 minutes and 21 seconds last year.
Even in Seoul, with much more personnel and a closer station,
has an average of 4 minutes and 24 seconds. It's not much different.
Yes. He's right.
You did your best, detectives.
No one could have prevented this case.
- Yes, it's me. - Hyun Jun,
you're at Yoon Sung Jin's place, right?
("Judge Greed With the Law")
Is there a charcoal colored sofa...
that's about 2m long?
Charcoal colored?
Yes, there is a sofa.
I just saw a video in a media platform site.
Yes, and?
To be more exact, it's called View Inside.
It's a website where people share illegal and obscene videos.
One of the uploaded videos...
seemed to be of a real crime scene.
To be more exact,
the murder of Yoon Sung Jin and his wife.
A video of the murder scene?
Yes.
The camera seems to be at the corner of the room, towards the sofa.
(Execution!)
No.
This is a warning.
This is not a movie. This is not a show.
Did you see...
how crazy the world is?
It begins now.
This is the real beginning.
I looked around,
but there's no sign of a break in.
He only murdered the man this time and abducted the woman.
Please help me.
There must be a reason for changing his pattern.
If you say one more thing, you'll be punished for your sin.
Three accomplices follow the same ends.
This is the last warning.
Something is not right.
He called himself an executioner.
Don't move.
Min Young. Where is Min Young?
