(a particular group, region, religion or individual.)
You've heard of the "Manicure Murders", right?
The culprit kills women and puts nail polish on their fingers.
We arrested a suspect half a month ago.
We're sure it's him.
- Do you have evidence? - No.
He bit at his own fingertips to get rid of his fingerprints.
He's quite meticulous.
I'm Han Tae Joo...
from the Trace Evidence Analysis Team in forensics.
Something's wrong.
Evidence cannot get that easily contaminated.
You said you were Officer Han Tae Joo, right?
Don't we know each other? You look familiar.
I checked all security cameras nearby,
and Kim Min Seok passed this road 30 minutes before the accident.
Did you get a chance to check Kim Min Seok's current address?
Three of you go up, three head down, and the rest should follow me.
(Sung il-ro, 42-7)
There's Kim Min Seok!
Where is Seo Hyun? Tell me!
I remember now.
There's someone looking after Kim Min Seok.
- What happened? - Move out of the way.
What happened?
Was it Kim Min Seok?
That can't be true. He's only 8 years old in 1989.
I'm looking for a person. Do you think that's possible?
Who is he?
He might be related to this case.
How is that child related to this case?
He murdered seven people.
Does this case really have nothing to do with Kim Min Seok?
As much as I think, I still don't understand.
What on earth am I doing here?
(Insung Seobu Police Station)
Tae Joo.
Han Tae Joo.
It's me. Min Seok.
Kim Min Seok.
How have you been?
You look better than I expected.
I brought a present just in case you missed me.
It's the pretty Jeong Seo Hyun.
You remember her, right?
This will be the last gift from me.
Tae Joo. Tae Joo, save me.
Tae Joo, save me!
You can't do anything.
Even if you try your best,
you can't come back here.
Goodbye, Tae Joo.
What's happening? What's wrong?
I don't know.
Find out what's wrong!
Doctor, he's having a seizure. His blood pressure's dropping.
Mr. Han Tae Joo, can you hear me? Mr. Han Tae Joo!
Can you hear me? Prepare the defibrillator.
Increase the voltage.
This is our last try.
You might be dreaming,
or you might have come from the future,
but there must be an apparent reason why you came here.
Am I dreaming? Or have I gone crazy?
And if it's neither of those two, why am I here?
(Life on Mars)
(Insung Seobu Police Station)
Yes. It's Kim Min Seok.
Yes.
He's probably in the first or second grade.
I'm sorry, but we don't have anyone by that name.
All right. Thank you for your cooperation.
(Telephone directory)
Goodbye, Min Seok!
Goodbye!
Is that boy Kim Min Seok?
Yes.
Do you know where he lives?
No. He's just a friend who comes by so I don't know where he lives.
I just know his name.
We have encountered numerous cases,
but Mr. Han Tae Joo's case is very rare.
His brain has been damaged for a long time.
His body isn't functioning properly,
and he's also having abnormal seizures along with...
constant comas.
His muscles must have been damaged as well.
Even if his body looks fine,
his mental ability would not function properly.
He would also...
He's showing low cognitive ability,
and it seems like he's losing other abilities as well.
- What do you think, doctor? - In my opinion,
he won't be able to...
- His brain is... - This can't be true.
- There's no hope... - Further treatment will not...
Stop it!
I told you to stop!
Can you hear that from here?
Don't trust what they're saying.
They're all lies.
Did you also...
hear what they said?
Of course. I hear them all the time.
You're not from this place, are you?
I came from 2018.
Where are you from?
I came from...
Don't tell me.
Someone might hear us.
Do you also have a wiretap in your ears by any chance?
- What? - A wiretap.
I have a wiretap in my ears.
- That was funny. - It was.
Why are you here again?
That's right. I came back, scumbag.
That little... Come here.
- I'm not coming, scumbag. - How dare you.
Who are you calling a scumbag?
- I'm not coming! - Come here!
- Hey! - Don't come near me.
I think he's gone crazier.
- Come here! - There's a wiretap in my ears.
- What? - I'll get it out for you.
- Come here. - Catch me if you can.
Come here!
Why did you come back here?
What are you supposed to do with this thing?
Hey! You!
I got you now. Come here.
Do you think you're a mullet fish or something?
Why do you always come back around this season?
It's none of your business.
Who is he?
He's a patient at a psychiatric hospital nearby.
He always gets out at this time of the year and causes a scene here.
I was wondering when you would come.
- Take him back. - Okay.
Go! Go back!
- Come here. - That hurts.
Fine. There we go. Are we good?
Let's get going now. I did the E.T. finger touch.
Let's just get it over with and send him back quickly.
He won't leave if you don't. Get it over with quickly.
There's the E.T. finger touch. Let's get going now.
- Let's go home now. - Let's go.
Let's get going.
It's you.
It's me, Young Soo. It's Young Soo.
Hey, you.
What is it? Why are you here?
A report was filed in Dobong-ri.
- Dobong-ri? - Yes, sir.
What's wrong? You look tired.
I didn't get enough sleep.
You're single and you live alone. What kept you up so late?
I guess you liked that gift I gave you.
Do you want a newer edition? Would you like that?
That's not it. Just hurry up and go, will you?
I would love to go faster myself.
Let's get a move on. We're busy here.
Hey there.
- You and him sitting in a tree - You and him sitting in a tree
You little rascals.
- Bang, bang, bang. - You and him sitting in a tree
Bang, bang, bang.
Here goes a grenade.
Did I see correctly?
Did he do what I think he did?
You little rascal? How dare you do such a thing to an elderly?
You little rascal. Hold on to the wheel.
You little rascal. Who's your father?
Who taught you to do such a thing?
You little rascal. Who's your mother?
You wait right there.
Ms. Yoon.
Why are you here?
The parties went to support the Olympic games.
Apparently, we're understaffed.
So where's the scene?
It's over there.
He found the body like this on his way to work in the field.
Looking at the body, it's seems she's been dead for quite a while.
I agree. I think it's been around a month or so.
Where's the forensics team?
They're handling the East Station case. They'll be a bit late.
Those jerks. Do they think they're the only ones that are busy?
They should hurry up.
Captain.
Hey. Look carefully, all right?
- Take a close look, all right? - Yes, sir.
There you go.
Okay. Good work.
What do you think you're doing? Keep looking. Go back in.
Yes, sir.
Detective Lee.
- Come here. Bring it over. - Yes, sir.
Her earrings are missing.
So is here ring. Her other accessories are missing as well.
Could it have been a robber?
- Officer Yoon. Put on her shoes. - Yes, sir.
It's hers all right.
Pass those over to the forensics team.
Hey. Are those all of her belongings?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
(Kang Myung Do)
(ID: Kim Bok Rye)
It's the victim's ID.
Kim Bok Rye from Dobok-ri, Insung.
Dobok-ri is the village down over there.
She must've been attacked on her way home after getting off the bus.
- Yong Gi. - Yes, sir.
Go to the bus company and check when and where the victim got off.
- Yes, sir. - Take this.
- You can just take it. It's fine. - Yes. sir.
- Nam Sik. - Yes, sir.
- Cover her up. - Yes, sir.
It's that way.
Go and interview some of the neighbors.
Yes, sir.
Is anyone here?
Is anyone home?
I don't think anyone's here.
(Kwon Eun Young)
This lady sure lent out a lot of loans.
Officer Yoon. Take all of these and check the connections.
- All right? - Yes, sir.
She has the same earrings on in all the photos.
These could be the missing earrings.
But there are only photos of Kim Bok Rye.
It seems as though photos are missing here and there.
Considering the household goods, I don't think she lived alone.
There's trace of a family picture here.
Let's look around a bit more, all right?
Yes, sir.
Hey, guys.
All of you, come over here.
They must not have been a happy family.
Why on earth is his here?
Hey, look. There's one left over here.
It's a picture of her husband and child.
No matter...
how much you try,
you'll never be able to come back here.
Take care, Tae Joo.
Chief.
Are you all right, Chief?
Yes, I'm all right.
My goodness. You even had a bloody nose.
You shouldn't have watched that too much at night.
Your bones will get weak.
- I'm back. - Do you have any updates?'
Kim Hyung Koo, Kim Bok Rye's husband, works on a fishing boat.
Three months ago, they got into a huge fight and got divorced.
They didn't know about the details.
Also, the wife is known for having a bad temper.
She's been having conflicts with the neighbors for a long time.
They don't even say hi to each other.
Then start an open search for the husband's address.
- Okay. - What about the child?
They're assuming he took the child since no one's seen him for a while.
His name is Kim Min Seok.
Yes. How did you know that?
He's in the first grade in elementary school.
Do you know which school he goes to?
No, I don't.
If it's a school close from here, it must be Dobok Elementary School.
Min Seok has been always weak.
He's been absent many times due to illness,
and his attendance since he came to this school...
doesn't add up to a week.
Also, in March...
he was badly injured, so his mother came to school...
and notified us for a long-term absence.
What was he like at school?
Despite his poor attendance,
Min Seok had a hard time fitting in.
He seemed very repressed,
and he couldn't get along with other children.
Where are you?
Chief.
Kim Min Seok.
He has the same name as the child you were looking for earlier.
Is this a coincidence?
The serial killer you told me about.
They have the same birthday.
He's the same person.
And this isn't a coincidence.
The reason why I came to this place has something to do with that child.
He is the only clue I have to find my way back.
(Insung Seobu Police Station)
(Kim Bok Rye's murder case)
Here's the document you asked for.
- Chief. - Captain.
I found Kim Bok Rye's husband.
You did? Where?
He was staying at an inn near the port.
But I don't think he's the culprit.
- Why is that? - He returned two days ago...
from a fishing trip overseas.
Then he can't be one of the suspects.
My goodness.
Where is he right now?
It's close from there.
Chief.
That's him.
What on earth do you guys want?
Where is this child right now?
How should I know?
Didn't you take him with you?
He's not my son. Why would I take him with me?
Put the picture away. I don't want to see his face.
He's not your real son?
He's not my real son.
My wife adopted him...
to get the government subsidy,
and the prioritized ownership of an apartment or something.
That's why we brought him.
Ever since we adopted him, everything went wrong.
What were we thinking?
We never got the prioritized apartment ownership!
It makes me mad just thinking about it.
Anyways.
Now that my wife has died,
is there any way I can receive the subsidy?
Even if I don't know where the kid is, I'm still the guardian.
Where are you going? Give me the subsidy!
Did you get anything from the husband?
No.
I don't feel secure in this shady neighborhood.
Why do people always die here?
Who knows if it's my turn next.
Don't be silly. You just had a baby at your age.
Enough with this talk. Do you have anything new?
Stop nagging me like a child. You're suffocating me.
Stop exaggerating.
There's been some bleeding from the scars.
That can't happen after death.
What's that supposed to mean?
My gosh. Are you even a cop?
How can you not understand after 20 years of being a cop?
It broke when she was alive.
Then you should have told me that in the first place.
Why do you have to make it sound so complicated?
So what caused the death?
She's been beaten by something like a bat.
Beaten so much that her bones broke.
The bruises on her face and chest seem very severe,
along with the fractures on her ribs and calves.
And this is what killed her.
She died from...
excessive bleeding and brain damage from a severe blow to the head.
There are traces of several violent attempts.
The world has really come to an end.
How can a person beat someone up this badly over money?
- Hi. - Hello, sir.
Hi.
Captain, I got a call back from forensics.
Too much time has passed since the accident...
so they couldn't find anything new that might be useful.
I knew it. I wasn't expecting anything anyways.
- What about the accounts? - I'm working on it.
I think I can get it done by this afternoon.
Did you have the chance to go visit the bus driver?
Yes. Fortunately, the bus driver remembered Kim Bok Rye.
She always got on the last bus one or two times a week.
When was the last time he saw her?
He wasn't too sure but around the 14th of last month.
She got off a little after 9pm.
Was there anybody else who got off with her?
No. It's such an isolated neighborhood that if there was,
he would have known. But he was sure she got off alone.
No witnesses. What a headache.
Hey.
Get me a cup of iced tea.
A cup of iced tea?
You got that right.
By the way, what are you staring at?
The pictures seem a little strange to me.
Which one?
What seems strange?
I need to get back on the scene.
This isn't a regular murder case.
Why is that?
Her right foot is much cleaner than her left.
Kim Bok Rye's right foot was broken by an external shock,
and her shoe must have fallen at that point.
She must have tried to escape from the suspect like that.
With one leg?
What are you trying to say?
Kim Bok Rye was the only person to get off the bus on the 14th.
The suspect must have waited for her somewhere around this area.
There is the bus stop.
Her shoe was found over there.
The suspect must have been hiding somewhere around here.
The suspect didn't murder the victim right away.
Rather, the suspect followed slowly as the victim tried to get away.
The suspect appears to be very violent.
He planned the murder,
hid himself and waited for her.
Usually, these cases have higher possibility of anger or resentment.
It's not just a simple robbery case.
The suspect focused more on the murder.
That scum.
Traces of the culprit still remain here somewhere.
Let's search the area.
- Sure. - All right.
- All right. Hey, scatter. - Yes, sir.
There's that over there.
- Search more thoroughly, punk. - Yes sir.
Surely, you can't just accept my love?
I think this guy will still be active when he's in his 70s.
No way.
I'm telling you, I'm sure of it!
It must have been difficult to move the body all the way here.
If they'd known this place was abandoned,
then it's someone who knows this area.
This guy really is amazing.
By the way, I think it'll be really hot this summer.
I feel a typhoon coming though it's May.
When is the Olympics again?
September 17th. Are you going?
My wife is saying that she wants us to go,
but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.
There's something here.
(Do Not Enter)
Hey, did you find anything?
Just trash.
You won't find anything no matter how hard you look.
He's looked in there enough, so why is he still looking?
Surely, you can't just accept my love?
- You're Mona Lisa - You're Mona Lisa
- Mona Lisa - Mona Lisa
And you make me sad
Captain!
Officer... Officer Yoon?
I think they found something.
Hey, what's going on?
It's a badge.
This is a Saemaul badge.
Where's their headquarters in Insung?
You know that nice building in Gumyeon-dong? It's there.
That stupid Investigation Team.
They couldn't even find something like this?
Let's go.
Take care.
Chief.
(Saemaul Movement)
Yes, this belongs to our branch.
We give it out for free to our members.
I'd like your members list.
What's this about?
Hey. There's...
Chief, come over here.
What is it?
Hey, it's that junkie.
Yes, no doubt about it. He was a drug user.
He went around scamming everyone so that he could make money...
for his drug habit around two years ago.
But he punctured that lady's head and almost killed her.
Hey.
Is this guy a member here too?
Yes.
Mr. Yang Gil Soo quit doing drugs, and volunteers a lot now.
He's living as an upstanding citizen.
He comes by every day and helps with the bookkeeping too.
Did he come by today?
No, he didn't come today.
I wonder if he still lives in the same place.
Should we go and check?
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Yang Gil Su!
This punk.
The three of you, go to the master bedroom.
- Yong Gi, you come with me. - Yes, sir.
Gil Su!
(Hankook Power Supply Company)
(Water and Electricity Shut-off Notice)
His water and electricity have been shut off too.
What the... Does he really live here?
Look at all this dust.
Look at this.
- What is it? - Meth.
Of course. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Over here! I found them!
These are Ms. Kim Bok Rye's earrings.
I don't see her ring or necklace though.
But...
What was that sound?
Gosh. Hey, Yang Gil Su!
Hey! Hey!
He's totally gone.
- Yong Gi. - Yes?
- Drag him out. - Yes, sir.
Hey, Gil Su. Let's go to the precinct.
- Let's see here. - How much meth did you do?
Come here...
- Ouch! Hey! - What are you doing?
Hey, Yang Gil Su! You...
- Get out of there! - Goodness!
Hey!
- Hey! - Hey!
- Stop it! - Hey!
This guy is out of his mind!
Hey, stop that!
Hey, hey, hey! Grab him!
- Grab him! - Grab him!
- Hey, what are you... - Go to sleep, you punk!
Goodness.
Hey!
Hey.
Goodness.
Hey, are you okay?
I'm Yong Gi, Dong Cheol.
You're bleeding, Detective Lee.
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Wait, are you serious? Are you okay?
Detective Lee!
Excuse me.
I'm so thirsty.
Can you give me some water?
Water? As if.
Just answer our questions, punk! You rotten little...
Mr. Yang Gil Su.
Did you meet Ms. Kim Bok Rye on the 14th of last month?
I don't even remember what I did yesterday,
so how would I remember something from a month ago?
(Evidence Envelope)
Where did you get these?
I have no clue.
You punk. Hey, look at it properly!
Also, you.
Where did you get this?
- I don't know. - Stop lying!
How did you get this when you can't even pay your electricity bill?
You sold the necklace and ring you stole from Kim Bok Rye,
and used it to buy this!
I don't know.
I think it was two days ago...
when I woke up one morning,
and this just magically...
appeared before me.
Isn't that fascinating?
What are you on about, you junkie?
Let's try again when he's sober. We won't get anywhere like this.
- I'm back. - Hey, hey.
- Are you okay? - I just got a few stitches.
Thank goodness you don't have a gaping hole here.
Goodness.
Why won't it go back on?
Hey, I'm heading home for a bit.
Don't give him any water until he sobers up, all right?
- Yes sir. - Hey, Mr. Seoul. Come with me.
Mr. Yang Gil Su has borrowed money from Ms. Kim Bok Rye before.
He's borrowed 1,000 dollars in total.
He only repaid 100 dollars, and was quite behind on his payments.
And the date he borrowed the money was not long after he was released.
1,000 dollars is just enough for three months' worth of meth.
Where was Yang Gil Su on the 14th?
There was a Saemaul movement event at the Insung Branch that day.
- But he didn't attend. - I see.
Well, we have most of the evidence...
so give his statement to the prosecutors as soon as you get it.
Yes sir.
Also, leave this up to the folks here, and go to the hospital.
Why did you get such a bad nosebleed when you barely did anything?
Go now when you have the chance, instead of passing out later,
Got it?
Yes.
Chief.
I found the hospital...
that Kim Bok Rye's son was treated at.
(Jungang Clinic)
The doctor is out making house calls.
This is the medical record you asked for on the phone.
Thank you.
(Parent Name, Kim Hyung Koo)
This boy, Kim Min Seok...
must've been abused.
He had bruises on his inner arms.
That's where bruises are most unlikely.
It's common for abused children.
It happens when grownups shake them hard by the arm.
Please! I really hate you.
Why did you have to come in my life?
Stop crying! Don't cry!
Darn it!
It says bruises and fracture in the medical records.
I guess he's been assaulted for a long time.
(Name, Kim Min Seok)
August 4, 1987, bruises on the face and chest.
November 12, rib fracture.
January 6, right leg fracture.
He got wounded in the same body parts with Kim Bok Rye.
It's too similar just to be a coincidence.
If the motive for murder is his revenge,
it explains why they're wounded in the same parts.
Then Yang Gil Su murdered Kim Bok Rye...
because of this boy?
Let me go check it.
Where do you think this boy is?
Do you think someone took him?
Kim Bok Rye's case and the missing child.
There must be a link between the two.
We have to find the boy first. Officer Yoon.
Please go check the orphanage where the boy was from.
(Name, Kim Min Seok)
- What's going on? - I thought you went home.
Chief Han.
What happened?
Can't you see?
Why does he have bruises on his face?
Detective Lee. Detective Lee!
What?
Did you hit Yang Gil Su? Answer me.
Yes. I beat him a little. What about it?
It can happen during an investigation.
A person died here. How could you say that?
He already died. What do you want me to do?
What are you doing?
What happened?
Well... It's...
Tell me the truth.
Darn it!
Now you're killing people?
You guys are unbelievable.
You idiots.
Are you a bunch of murderers?
Why did you kill a person?
Stop it. I'll take care of it.
How would you take care of it after stirring up all the trouble?
Hey.
Is all you've learned how to beat people?
How could you beat a suspect in this day and age?
How?
You stupid idiots. What do you have in your head?
Are you cops or bullies?
What are you doing? Get off.
Let go of me!
Hey, I said I'll take care of it.
Can't you hear me?
Even if I get disciplined or fired, it's none of your business.
How dare you hit my subordinates, you arrogant jerk!
Get out of here, you scumbag.
All right.
I'll wait and see how you get things settled then.
I mean,
he was fine, so how could he die of a heart attack all of a sudden?
His heart could've become weak due to his drug addiction.
He could've been killed by a minor shock.
How would I know that?
Do you want me to get medical reports for all the suspects?
Shut your mouth.
What are you raising your voice for?
Nam Sik didn't do anything wrong. It's all my fault.
I...
- I was wrong. - Shut it.
What's the use of pointing fingers?
Call the health center and tell Chief Park to come.
Yes, sir.
You guys, just get out.
I can’t stand the sight of you. Get lost!
This is why I can't quit smoking.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I didn't see this coming.
I just...
I just tried to drag out a confession.
I wanted to show you something.
That Detective Lee and I...
can do this.
I know investigation is important,
but illegal acts cannot be justified.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
You should apologize to his family instead.
Okay.
I'll do that.
You're here.
Why?
Chief Park is here.
It really was a heart attack.
By any chance,
did he grab his chest when he fainted?
Like this?
No, he panted and couldn't breathe.
Where did you hit him?
I hit his face with my fist first.
When he fainted, I stepped on his stomach...
and kicked his ribs.
Did he shudder or have a seizure?
What is it?
- What about brain hemorrhage? - There's a possibility.
His muscles are also striated.
So what happened?
The heart attack wasn't from the beating.
What?
He didn't die from being hit?
No, he didn't.
I need to take a closer look at the health center,
but it's an acute drug addiction.
If you see his nose and mouth, the mucous is damaged.
Someone force-fed him drugs.
No, I didn't do that.
You know me. I didn't do it.
I didn't do it.
Have you ever left Yang Gil Su﻿ by himself?
When he fainted, I left for a minute to call the ambulance.
Something happened during that time.
The recorder.
What about the recorder?
I tried following the chief of recording the interrogation.
I kept the recorder on during the interrogation of Yang Gil Su.
The situation might have been recorded.
Where did you put the recorder?
- On the desk. - On the desk?
Try to find it. It should be somewhere around here.
- Find it quickly. - Try looking over there.
- Over there. - Look there.
I found it.
Nice.
The interrogation of the suspect will start now.
Lee Yong Gi...
and Cho Nam Sik.
- Today's date is 1988... - What are you doing?
I'm trying to look cool.
- Don't I look cool? - You don't look cool at all.
- Get out. - Why?
Get out of the room. There's nothing to see here.
Keep watch outside.
Okay.
Did you leave at this time?
Yes.
Let's go home right after this.
This really hurts.
You're the murderer, aren't you?
I don't remember.
Gosh, I knew you would say that.
Punks like you always lie when I ask nicely.
You didn't do it?
We have evidence here. How could you lie? You punk.
You said you hit him three times.
How is it?
Do you remember doing it now?
Stop pretending that it hurts. Do you want some more?
Hey.
Punk.
What's wrong?
Hey.
Gosh.
Wake up. What's wrong with you?
Gosh, what's wrong?
Hey Nam Sik! Get in here!
Did you go out to call the ambulance at this time?
Yes.
- There's some more left. - Okay, let's listen.
Wait a minute.
Someone save me.
Save me.
What a pity.
I have no intention to do that.
In order for Min Seok...
and me to be happy,
you have to die.
I'm sorry, but you need to die for us.
I'll kill...
you the way you like instead.
It's the sound of an inhaler.
It's him.
Save me.
Him? What is this?
What is wrong with him?
He's the same person who killed Go Yeong Suk and Han Choong Ho.
How...
could he come in here?
Nam Sik and I were only gone for 10 minutes.
Yes.
He was watching us.
He's close to us.
I'm here!

Chief, you're not the only one who wants to catch the murderer.
Detective Lee also feels the same as you.
You don't care whether your teammate is fired or not.
Where were you and what were you doing around 8 to 9pm yesterday?
I told you I went home and came back.
Did Yang Gil Su die because of me?
Someone else killed him.
It's difficult to go outside from the warehouse...
without using the corridor.
Why couldn't anyone see the suspect?
They saw him. It's because they thought he wasn't the suspect.
Couldn't we narrow down the limits...
using the voice from the recorder?
That's our only evidence.
We can't let the suspect find out about it yet.
Did you see his face?
All of this is one person's doing.
The suspect is on the inside among us.
