(Episode 15)
Secretary Kim?
President Ha Ji Seung.
This is a surprise.
I thought you cut me off,
but you wanted to see me first.
(Queen of Mystery 2)
- You can't come in here. - Mi Joo.
Mi Joo.
You didn't die, right?
You didn't!
They found her already?
Darn it.
Professor Ha, this is urgent.
Get me...
Get me in contact with Secretary Kim now.
If you don't let me meet him now,
you'll regret it.
Professor Ha.
This is Secretary Kim.
I heard you need something taken care of.
Professor Ha.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Secretary Kim can't be this young.
You've known him for 17 years.
Am I wrong?
Secretary Kim never shows himself.
So persuade him for me.
Don't look at me like that.
You and I are no different.
Both you and I...
are just trying to live,
aren't we?
You're good.
You are good.
Delicate lines and accurate composition.
You put a lot of time and care into it.
I majored in arts.
You sure are talented.
You're talented at showing off...
a useless talent.
How much time did you waste on this?
You could've taken...
more than 500 pictures instead of drawing this.
I was going to take pictures too.
She acts like she's in a drawing contest.
Be nice, Mr. Hwang.
Focus on your work.
Why are you hanging around here?
Aren't you going to investigate?
It's a deserted place,
but you can drive a car close to the site.
There are tire tracks.
Did you all see them?
It looks like he was flustered.
He probably didn't know what to do with the body.
How am I going to clean this up?
It's midterm season.
The culprit has been here before.
That means it wasn't a planned crime.
Why did he leave the corpse here for days?
He had enough time to dispose it.
He wanted to look at it for enjoyment.
What? Look at what for enjoyment?
The corpse.
Why would you do that?
He should've hidden it, so that it wouldn't be found.
This is off the beaten path.
But a lot of footprints are on that spot.
They're of the same size.
So it's not easy...
to identify the footprint.
Secretary Kim?
Hi, Mr. Won Joo Seok.
Nice to meet you.
I guess you know me.
I know that you're Jinmi Group Vice President...
Song Tae Gyu's cousin.
You're about to graduate law school.
You'll need to get better grades.
Exactly.
I have no time for this.
The corpse was found.
Why did you just leave it there?
I wanted to look at it from time to time.
If you catch his weakness,
you'll be able to use it for a long time.
Why are you so worried?
If you want to live a long, healthy life,
you better think less.
He's out of control.
There are many ways...
to control him.
You made the matter more complicated.
That's why I pestered the professor...
and got a hold of you.
Secretary Kim.
Some serial killers...
do not bury the corpses deep.
They like to keep them close and observe them.
They want to relive the moment...
they committed murder.
That means...
it's a serial murder.
When the fantasy wears off,
they commit murder again.
That's why he went back there a few times.
If the corpse hadn't been found,
he would've enjoyed it more.
But the body was found.
He'll kill again.
It seems like he's just begun.
She was a very pretty girl.
I'll catch the culprit.
You should take a rest.
No.
I want to see him getting arrested...
with my own eyes.
I'm worried about you.
Don't worry about me crying.
Mi Joo was tortured and killed.
I'm fine.
She tried terribly hard to fight him off.
She had a lot of contusions.
Mi Joo was studying for police exam.
She must've left...
some evidence on the culprit.
A nail scratch or tooth marks.
What about the forensic results?
Blood and flesh were found...
in the fingernails.
We'll have the DNA results in a few days.
She had a lot of scars on her body.
She seemed to have been dragged on a cement floor.
She was found in a reed field though.
He probably abducted her and moved her.
There were tire tracks...
at the scene.
The pattern seemed pretty unique.
He must've used the car to move her.
The place where the corpse was found...
is difficult to get to on foot.
Looking at the unique tire pattern,
it must be foreign-made.
What's the tire brand?
It's premium.
It'll be easy to find the manufacturer then.
For sure.
By the way,
do you think...
the culprit is a serial killer again?
I never said that.
Why did he leave the corpse here for days?
He had enough time to dispose it.
He wanted to look at it for enjoyment.
You seem very anxious.
It must be a serial murder.
You aren't usually interested in a case.
You're a forensics agent.
You shouldn't make a conclusion that easily.
I want to tell you something.
Serial murders...
aren't that common.
Don't lean toward it too much.
I also hope it's not a serial murder.
Did something happen...
between you and Mi Joo?
Of course not.
You know...
that Mi Joo is too good for me.
I was going to...
let her go...
when she said that she passed the exam.
I wanted to make...
good memories with her for the last time.
I was going to tell her...
that I was so thankful for meeting someone like me.
She suffered so much and finally passed the exam.
Why did her life have to be this miserable?
I'm too resentful...
to let her go like this.
I'll catch the culprit for certain...
and kill him myself.
No, Si Hwan.
You can't do that.
Seol Ok.
This is too hard for me to stand.
Si Hwan.
Don't think about doing something spontaneous.
Okay?
I'll make sure to catch the culprit.
Let's catch him and make him get punished for it.
I want to catch the culprit...
myself too.
Okay. Let's catch the culprit together.
Try to find...
Mi Joo's stuff like...
her memos, pictures, or diary first.
Okay, I'll look for them.
Right.
Whining won't help us catch the culprit.
Let's snap out of it.
Why are you coming out of there?
Go Si Hwan?
Do you know me?
Are you sure you don't have a boyfriend?
I'm sure.
I have some guys who ride my car though.
They have a high standard in women.
I got some flowers too.
Really? What does he do for a living?
How is his family background?
I don't know who gave me those flowers.
It said Secretary Kim in the letter.
Dad. What's wrong?
When did you get them?
Yesterday.
Why are you telling me this just now?
Commute by my car from today on.
Why? It doesn't violate the vehicle regulation.
Just do as I say.
Ride my car when you go home from work too.
Don't go to clubs or anywhere else.
Let's go.
Dad.
- Jang Goo. - What?
Are you concerned about something?
These days...
No, it's just that I have a lot in mind.
You shouldn't have too much in mind...
in order to live healthily and long.
I know.
How old is your daughter?
She's 26 this year.
She isn't married, is she?
No.
Set her up with someone if there's anyone decent.
Then you must live long...
so that you can see her get married.
I should.
For your daughter's sake,
don't betray.
What?
Don't betray...
Secretary Kim...
if you want to keep your chief position.
How...
Oh, dear.
I think...
I won today.
Well?
Chief Shin Jang Goo.
Secretary Kim?
We're here, sir.
- Have a seat. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Gye.
Be in charge of Yoon Mi Joo's murder case.
Pardon?
Let Unit One be in charge of the investigation.
But now,
Inspector Woo and Ha Wan Seung are in charge of...
I'm not discussing things with you now.
Why do you want Unit One to...
Do you want to know?
Really?
Wouldn't it be good for you...
to tell others that you just signed the papers?
Well,
are you still curious?
Do you want me to tell you?
Well... Sir.
It's being investigated by another team.
We can't...
Violent Crimes Unit Two won't let it slide.
Especially Detective Ha.
It's my order, so no one can say anything about it.
Since when did we need his permission?
That's not what I mean.
Your unit is the ace of our station.
It's because Unit Two is not trustworthy.
Sir, even so...
It won't look good to take away their case.
Manager Jo.
That's not what's important here.
It's important to solve the case.
I can't believe this.
You're right.
Then how about...
we tell the two teams...
to investigate on the case together?
That's not bad.
Right?
Okay, sir.
Understood, sir.
(Criminal Affairs Division)
How can I help you?
I'm here to do a volunteer service...
at Civil Affairs Center.
It's that way.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Go search over there.
Do you know the victim?
I didn't know her personally.
She was my friend's girlfriend.
I hope Seol Ok catches the murderer quickly.
Hey.
Didn't the forensics come out last time?
Why are they doing it again?
They do it many times for big cases.
I'm saying...
it's game over if Seol Ok investigated.
They don't need to do it again.
I haven't seen this before either.
Something is weird.
Professor Hwang.
I found a strand of hair.
What's going on?
It wasn't here during our first identification.
Maybe the scene...
might have been contaminated.
How are you guys preserving the scene?
You guys should always preserve it thoroughly.
You should say that to Violent Crimes Unit Two.
I took this case only four hours ago.
Why are there two teams working on the same case?
It's hard to tell who's responsible.
You'll need to talk to Chief Shin about that.
When the forensics result comes out, tell us first.
Why should I?
Please, I ask of you.
Hey, Kyung Mi?
Wrap up the scene well.
Yes, Professor Hwang.
Goodbye.
Sergeant Yuk.
Yes, sir.
Hey. Take a picture of this too.
Did you find anything around Yoon Mi Joo?
Anyone suspicious?
She hasn't met her family and friends...
for three years.
She lived at Ino Residence in Noryang-dong and...
went to her classes and the study room. That's it.
On the day of Yoon Mi Joo's accident,
she had one last phone call around 150m away...
from Joongjin 6-dong mobile base station.
Two weeks later,
she was found dead in a reed field.
Si Hwan, don't hang up.
There's a weird guy over there.
He looks like a pervert.
It looks like she was there...
to see a friend who lives in Joongjin 6-dong.
It's a neighborhood where a pervert roams about.
Are you saying that the pervert did it?
It's nowhere near a women's school.
That can't happen out of nowhere.
He's no longer just a pervert.
He's now evolved into a rapist.
Right?
Evolved?
Are you talking about like how monkeys...
turned into humans?
Sergeant Yuk.
Stop fooling around and listen up.
She was killed in Joongjin 6-dong,
then moved to the reed field by a car.
A lot of abrasions caused by a cement floor...
were found on her body.
However, the reed field has wet, muddy floor.
You can get scraped by mud.
I've done that often when I got drunk, so I know.
It's completely different from the ones that are...
caused by hard concrete floors.
She was scraped on a cement floor.
We found a lot of traces on the soil.
However, I'm not sure if it belongs...
to the victim, Yoon Mi Joo.
It doesn't matter if it's mud or cement.
Those scrapes aren't the cause of her death.
Death by suffocation from cervical pressure.
Don't you know what it is?
It means she was strangled.
Then let's stop talking about the cement floor.
We found tire tracks on the scene...
where her body was abandoned.
They were expensive tires for special purposes.
They're not something you see every day.
There's a high possibility the woman...
was unconscious when she was moved by the car...
and murdered later on.
Do you have evidence those tracks are the murderer's?
A lot of anglers go and park there at night.
Did he leave his name on the tires?
Seol Ok.
I heard from the forensics team...
that they found a strand of hair, footprints,
and bloodstained reeds.
Thanks.
- Do you want this? - Yes.
She was taken out right here.
(52N 2693)
It looks like...
she was dragged over...
unconsciously at first.
Then she woke up soon after.
And she struggled...
to live.
This must be the place, Mi Joo.
This was your last.
Mi Joo...
was abducted from another place...
unconsciously.
She was first assaulted on a hard ground...
like a cement floor.
She has a lot of abrasions on her body.
Then...
it must be Joongjin-dong.
She had an appointment in Joongjin-dong...
on the day she went missing.
When did you last hear from her?
Two weeks ago.
She's sometimes late,
but she's not a type that wouldn't show up.
I couldn't reach her ever since that day.
She couldn't be reached after that day.
She could have been already dead.
Pretty much everywhere in Seoul is cement floor.
Let's go to Joongjin-dong first.
Corporal Gong.
Did you analyze the surveillance videos?
Yes.
There are no cameras near the scene, but...
a blue car was caught on video in the vicinity.
It's the same model as the car...
that was seen near the scene.
Search the roads leading into Joongjin-dong first.
The victim seems abducted in Joongjin 6-dong.
Mi Joo was going to meet her friend...
somewhere near here.
This place seems dangerous with a lot of alleys.
Hey, Corporal Gong.
I have the plate number.
Really? You got it?
You must be well-versed in law.
- Corporal Gong. - Yes?
Explain in detail to him.
Hey. Under Article 9 of Sexual Assault Law,
you're under arrest for rape and murder.
Give me your backpack.
You...
have the right to an attorney.
You don't have to speak. Anything you say now...
might be used against you in the court.
Let's go.
(Scientific Investigation)
The owner of this car is the culprit.
Pardon?
Did you find the victim's blood or fingerprints?
No.
It's too clean.
If it's this clean...
Oh, that means he cleaned the fingerprints.
I can't even find a minute piece of evidence.
This is done by a professional.
Is your team doing well?
What do you mean?
I think you guys got the wrong guy.
We'll find out whether we are wrong or not...
once we investigate him.
Oh, you're in law school.
And you volunteer at Joongjin Police Station.
Yes.
I do legal counselling...
as volunteer work.
But...
you started volunteering at our station...
after Yoon Mi Joo's body was found.
Is that so?
That's interesting.
A culprit...
would be curious about...
how the investigation is going.
What are you saying?
I'm just saying...
a culprit would be like that.
I see.
Then that has nothing to do with me.
Don't men usually find a woman...
unattractive if she says no to them...
or resists them...
when they make a move?
It's more interesting when she resists.
It's no fun if she's submissive all the time.
Why did he even kill her if she was interesting?
Because killing is more fun, maybe?
Is that why you killed her?
Well, I mean...
the culprit would've.
Didn't you say you major in law?
You know what's going on...
in the culprit's mind very well.
No, I don't.
It's just a guess.
Secondary identification result...
shows the same DNA...
from the hair and blood.
What about the footprint?
The shoe is registered in the footprint database.
It's a shoe that can be bought in a market easily.
It's very worn. He's been wearing it for too long.
(Two days ago)
(Joogjin Police)
How can I help you?
I'm here to see Unit One's Mr. Gye Sung Woo.
That's me.
I might be able to help with an investigation.
How?
I know something about the female corpse...
that was found in the reed field.
You were at the site...
where Yoon Mi Joo's corpse was found?
Yes.
I was passing by the area in my car.
I saw a man hitting a woman from afar.
- Hey. - Let me go.
Where are you going?
How can you say that you won't meet me anymore?
As a law student,
I couldn't turn my back.
Stop it.
- Come! - Let this go!
Stop bothering me!
How can you do this to me?
Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Why don't I...
Mind your own business!
Gosh.
She told me to mind my own business.
So I couldn't stay there any longer.
Also, she kept hitting and scratching me.
So it was awkward to stay there.
Yes.
Si Hwan is the culprit?
A strand of hair and footprint were found.
They weren't found at the scene.
They came out in the secondary identification.
Do you also think...
Si Hwan is the culprit?
But we found the evidence.
We can't ignore that.
This is frustrating.
He took off.
Gather evidence.
Wait.
Why are the pieces of evidence so neatly placed?
It looks like he laid them out for us.
They usually...
take the laptop even when they run away...
in a hurry.
Secretary Kim is on the move.
He's fabricating a murder case.
We have to act fast.
Then...
are we a team?
I'm not used to working with someone.
Under one condition, though.
Don't drag Wan Seung into this.
Secretary Kim is dangerous.
Also,
don't tell him Seo Hyun Soo is alive...
or that I'm...
Seo Hyun Soo.
Why?
Isn't it better for him to think that I'm dead?
Because now...
I've become a monster.
Then why did you linger around?
Because I couldn't not do that.
If I could...
I had no choice.
I couldn't not do that.
Lady, tell me how I could not do that.
I kept asking for just one more day,
and I ended up like this.
I shouldn't have opened the fourth Genoise shop.
Then there wouldn't have been a fire,
and Wan Seung wouldn't have met me.
Hey. You can't go in there.
Well...
That's me.
I'm the owner.
Okay.
I got greedy then.
I was foolish.
Please put this ring inside this.
Okay. I'll bring it over.
Thanks.
I won't make mistakes anymore.
Please stop looking for Seo Hyun Soo.
I...
will live forever as Jung Hee Yeon.
Fine.
Then tell me now.
Who is Secretary Kim?
And where is he?
Somewhere very close.
Ji Seung.
Hey. Wan Seung.
What brings you here?
Oh, are you here for the Civil Affairs Center?
No.
Then...
are you here to see me?
I'm here as the attorney of Won Joo Seok.
What?
Ji Seung.
That punk is a lunatic.
I'm here as the attorney of Won Joo Seok.
So watch your language.
You will be my attorney, right?
It's awkward to tell the truth to another attorney.
He'll commit another murder again later.
He's never murdered anyone.
He won't in the future as well.
I killed someone by accident.
- What? - Yes.
Is his dad the president of this country or what?
Why is the president of Ha and Jung Law Firm...
defending him?
I've never imagined that you could've done...
such a thing in the past...
because you always looked so nice like this.
Let's stick to the point.
The tire tracks from the site match with his car's.
It's the evidence that he went there.
It's not the evidence of murder.
What about the DNA found in her fingernails?
I heard that he tried to stop the fight.
You know...
that he's the culprit, right?
I'll take Won Joo Seok out with me.
Why are you doing this?
I'm doing my best...
for Ha and Jung Law Firm and my family.
You're becoming more and more like our father.
I'm here as his attorney.
You can't confine him any longer without a warrant.
So I'll take him out with me.
Oh, and...
it's said that the culprit...
is the victim's ex-boyfriend.
Let's go have some food.
It's him for certain.
Who is he?
Is he...
the suspect for Mi Joo's case?
He's the culprit for certain.
And you're releasing him like that?
Are you just going to make him walk away?
Not a chance.
He'll come back here soon for sure.
- Detective Ha. - Yes?
What brings you here?
You asked for the list of volunteers the other day.
The alleyway a while ago...
Oh, the pervert in a trench coat?
Yes.
That case hasn't been solved yet either.
It's the volunteers' list which you asked for.
This is the address list...
of those who are receiving help.
(Volunteering Area)
There are about 15 people...
in Joongjin 6-dong.
The volunteer who lives at the dead-end alley...
where Shim Ji Eun and Kim Han Na disappeared is...
"Law School of S University".
There's Won Joo Seok.
What?
Won Joo Seok?
We might be able to catch him.
All right.
Everyone's here, so let's begin the meeting.
Number one is Lee So Yeon.
Number two is Kim Han Na.
Number four is Shim Ji Eun.
Number three is Yoon Mi Joo.
This is the order.
Between Kim Han Na and Shim Ji Eun,
Yoon Mi Joo died.
Nail marks were found on her neck.
It means that he didn't wear gloves.
The gloves appeared...
from Shim Ji Eun's case.
He suddenly started to wear a mask and gloves.
Why?
Because he killed Yoon Mi Joo.
He changed...
because he evolved into a murderer.
Yoon Mi Joo was his first murder.
It was an accidental murder.
His killing instinct was awakened by accident.
It's awake.
It won't go back to sleep until the day he dies.
Isn't it too soon to jump into a conclusion?
You must know because you investigated on drugs...
that they can never quit it by themselves.
It's an addiction.
He's addicted to murder.
Will he become a serial killer then?
We must catch him quickly then.
He'll begin his serial killing soon...
because he's lost the body.
The body is like a report...
which he feels proud and precious of.
He's lost his report card...
which can prove his strength.
His anxiety...
must be at the top level by now.
He must be in a dangerous state.
Soon,
he'll begin his hunting.
He gets anxious if he can't kill a person?
He's a real lunatic.
Well...
There's another person who witnessed the pervert...
at the alley in Joongjin 6-dong.
I want to ask if you need her testimony...
and go now.
Another witness?
Yes.
(Snow Removal Equipment)
Do you remember his face by any chance?
No, he was covering his face.
Was he wearing gloves too?
Do you think it's Won Joo Seok?
Can you tell us...
what happened here?
Darn it.
What's going on?
It's a bloodstained fingerprint.
If we compare fingerprints,
the result will come out quicker...
than that of National Forensic Service.
We can't prove his crime only with this.
If it goes well...
Are you getting the feeling again?
The tire tracks of Won Joo Seok's car...
and his footprints were found.
His flesh and bloodstain were found...
underneath Mi Joo's nails too.
But when his hair and footprints...
were found in the residence...
He became the witness right away.
You were at the site...
where Yoon Mi Joo's corpse was found?
Yes.
I was passing by the area in my car.
I saw a man hitting a woman from afar.
He testified that Si Hwan and Mi Joo...
were fighting in the reed field.
But if Mi Joo's bloodstain is found...
in this alleyway...
He'll have to explain...
why she was here...
and why he bled.
What if her blood is found in Joongjin-dong...
when she lived in Noryang-dong?
It's enough of evidence...
that he moved her in his vehicle.
But it'll take forever to search...
all these alleyways.
It's too wide of a range to identify.
I marked some of Won Joo Seok's routes...
around the houses where he did a volunteer service...
based on the victims' testimonies.
(Joongjin 6-dong)
So?
Kyung Mi.
Please do us a favor.
Please find Mi Joo's traces.
Hey, I'm only a trainee.
How can I look around the entire neighborhood...
to find her bloodstain?
Kyung Mi.
- You can do it! - You can do it!
Bye.
Go!
Hey!
(Forensic Team)
My back hurts.
I'm too old to be doing this.
I'm almost done with this side.
Could it be over there?
You haven't found Go Si Hwan yet?
We looked all over Noryang-dong, but no.
Darn it, where is he?
His phone is turned off, so we can't check that.
Put him on a wanted list.
Yes, sir.
Grandpa, wasn't it hard to get by when I was gone?
I'll visit more often.
Okay.
My goodness.
Are you a pervert?
Hey, come on, pervert.
That jerk.
Hey!
Mr. Won Joo Seok.
Who are you?
I knew it was this house.
You've been volunteering diligently,
especially in this house.
And the old man...
won't wake up with this much fuss.
Much better for him.
It's a perfect place to hide the evidence.
That idiot.
- Corporal Gong! - Yes, sir!
This is my favorite moment.
Hey, this gets addictive.
You'll never be able to leave Violent Crimes Unit.
And only your credit card bill will increase.
I'll use my dad's credit card.
I wish I had your life.
Get up, you idiot.
I'm just an eyewitness who saw them in a fight.
You're a criminal caught in act right now.
What will you say about the evidence?
We can trace all of the victims with these.
Gosh, my back hurts.
Did you find it?
Of course I did.
I knew it.
We have to go through a DNA analysis.
We don't know if it's Mi Joo's blood yet.
It might Go Yoo Ri's, the fourth victim.
You sound like someone from forensics now.
Really?
Is this him?
Let's stop chatting...
and get going. We have to question other victims.
Come.
Yes.
Why did you bring back the eyewitness?
I thought I explained it to you.
He was caught in act.
He got caught trying to abduct Constable Shin.
What?
My lipstick is all over these gloves.
What happened to Go Si Hwan?
Don't think about catching him only.
Try to broaden out your dragnet.
Why am I in here again?
That's what I want to ask you.
Why did you go there?
Don't try to fool me.
I heard Secretary Kim never makes a mistake.
Did you set me up with a fake one?
I'm asking you.
What have you been doing in that alley?
I just took walks to blow off stress.
When will you get me out of here?
Do you...
not realize what you have done?
This isn't something you can easily cover up.
Then what about what you've done?
You covered that up very easily.
We need to talk.
I'm sorry. I'm busy.
Defending him won't help Ha and Jung in any way.
I never knew you were worried about Ha and Jung.
Does he have something on you?
Is that the reason lawyers defend people?
I really don't get your decision.
Won Joo Seok is a rapist and a murderer.
Even the most atrocious criminals...
need a lawyer.
Then you know...
that he's an atrocious criminal.
That's a way that a policeman talks.
What's important is if he broke the law or not.
So it's fine as long as there's no evidence?
What are you trying to say to me?
Is someone behind this?
- What? - Someone is...
fabricating the evidence.
What did you do to cover up Joo Seok's crime?
Well, this and that.
Will you blame someone else for this, or...
I wouldn't do that.
I'm just covering up this incident.
I can't go that far and blame someone else.
Then what will happen to him in the end?
It'll become an unresolved case.
Are you sure?
You won't do anything else, right?
If someone is blamed for this,
they wouldn't just sit around.
Why would I complicate things?
I'm nervous about Joo Seok.
It feels like...
he's going to do something else.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of everything.
President Ha, keep walking in the light.
Don't worry about the darkness.
Okay?
Secretary Kim, the set-up is finished.
He'll probably be found by cleaners in the morning.
Probably between 4:30am to 6am.
Yes.

Someone wants to be comfortable in the lockup.
Let him eat what he wants.
Car. Charcoal. Suicide note.
It's the same method.
Sinim-dong hill.
There's an old professional planner.
They said they installed...
a security camera for fun in the residence.
A hidden camera?
Does he know anything about the professor?
I'll have to tell him everything...
when I'm in the interrogation room.
Did you get a hold of the security camera?
I think I know where Secretary Kim is.
