Okay.
- This one. - Okay.
- You should be neatly dressed. - Okay.
You've been playing, haven't you? Let me see you.
Where are the other three?
- It's done. - It looks exactly like them.
I'll write the names.

The 31 of them...
are red.
The men and women.
Mom is red as well.
What does a ghost do?
It makes people jealous and fight. It makes people superstitious.
It makes them blind, deaf,
and have seizures.
You. A ghost.
I command you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
I expel you from this child's body!
You will kill 31 people.
You will make the innocent bleed...
to change the king of this country.
At the welfare facility of a religious community,
31 people were found dead after drinking poison.
There!
- There he is! - Prosecutor.
Is this a mass suicide or murder?
We'll know the details once the autopsy is over,
but since a will was found at the scene,
we think that it's suicide.
What was written in the will?
Basically, "we will go to heaven first."
Once the investigation is over, we'll release it at the briefing.
You have to take a look at this.
(We will go to heaven first.)
- The will? - But...
the number on the will and the number of bodies found...
don't match.
Did someone vanish, then?
Perhaps,
there might be a survivor.
Don't look back, baby.
Don't look at anything.
Right there.
What?
This bell keeps ringing.
Help!
- Gosh. - My baby and I are in trouble.
Gosh, this woman!
Hey, let her go!
- Who do you think... - Oh, gosh!
- Who are you? - What's the problem?
Gosh...
Step aside!
- Who are you? Step aside! - Hey!
- Seriously... - Just tell me.
Gosh, you...
(Episode 1)
- That hurts! - It's my baby.
No! No!
Get up.
Wait here.
Hey! Gosh!
Give me my baby back.
Give her back.
- It's my baby. - I'm a police officer.
Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!
Put the baby down.
Then let that man go first.
You're with him, aren't you?
What?
Why do you think that?
You're under arrest for kidnapping.
How can you be so sure that we're kidnappers?
It's not like we have "kidnapper" written on our faces.
Plus, I think I'm not even close to looking anything...
like a composite on wanted posters. Maybe he does.
Fine. Just hand me the baby.
This reminds me of the poem.
Before I called his name, he was but a body.
When I called his name,
he came to me and became a kidnapper.
Speaking of which...
Hey, you should listen when someone is speaking!
- Wait! - My baby.
Wait. Wait.
Ma'am.
What's the baby's name?
It's Su Min. It's my Su Min.
Okay, it's Su Min. How old is she?
She's 15 months old.
She only has four teeth.
She weighs 9kg and under 65cm tall.
Baby, come to Mom. Baby.
Based on her looks, she's 11 months old, lady.
You may not know that since you just met Yu Na.
(Yu Na)
How many times do you have to do this?
- Give back my baby! - We'll talk later.
- Go. Go! - Sir.
Last year, her child died. He was the family's only son.
She's been seeing a psychiatrist,
and this is her third time kidnapping a kid.
I'm such an idiot!
Oh, hello.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I didn't know you were a police officer.
Oh, you punched me earlier.
I already forgot all about it...
Because that did not damage me in any way.
I doubt that.
Not at all.
What about you? Where are you from?
I'm officer Kim Dan from Hwaju Police Box.
You can talk casually to me.
As you can see, I'm not a bossy person.
But I will be bossy... To you.
You suspected me and that baby's dad so easily,
but why don't you doubt yourself?
Everyone lies.
Prejudices that a detective has blind them,
and the truth you found out could be completely wrong.
Just like how that woman turned out to be a bit different...
from ordinary kidnappers.
My point is...
that not everything you see is what it seems.
I'm a busy man, so I'll get going.
Why are you just standing there?
I've never seen such a man in real life who thinks...
he's so savage when he really isn't.
Who is that guy?
Cheon Jae In.
He's arrested more people for violent crime...
than anyone in Korea for the last five years.
And he's solved 3 of the 10 unsolved cases.
His records are truly impressive.
And I attacked such a legendary man?
Did you beat up Cheon Jae In?
No.
Yes.
I thought he was an accomplice earlier.
What?
Hey! Good job!
Any Korean police officer...
dreams of beating him up at least once in their life.
Great job, Dan!
Good!
My solar plexus.
She hit it precisely.
I told you not to do that, Su In!
I got a good one.
I paid for your tuition.
I bought your camera for your dream of becoming a reporter.
And you use it to take ugly photos of me. What a great sister.
Do you want to return that camera?
No. I'll try not to do it from now on.
Yes, sir!
By the way, you said you had an interview so you dressed up.
I had to take care of something for justice.
What about the interview? Did it go well?
You didn't get in trouble like last time, did you?
(Cheon Jae In doesn't even acknowledge detectives...)
(who leave cases unsolved. "Why can't they solve it?")
What? What is it?
Do you know the definition of a sociopath?
A person with an anti-social personality...
who think of people as a tool for his own gain.
About four percent of the population is...
So you know what it means.
I'm sorry. You can talk ill of my family,
but can you please not do that to me?
I'm the only family you have!
Tell me how the interview went.
I didn't tell them what my IQ is,
and I didn't insult insolent people.
And I acted like a humble man and had a natural smile.
Happy?
Great job!
How would my brother live in this cruel world without me?
No one would even take you.
How dare you.
As I was saying,
be good to me.
Not so fast.
She's 22,
and her name is Chae So Yoon.
She works in the finance department of an aluminum factory.
Okay.
When is the last time you talked to her?
I think it's been about four hours.
I talked to her as she got off work.
Sir.
Just because a 22-year-old woman comes home late...
doesn't mean she's been kidnapped.
I said my kid is different.
She never even drinks.
We have your report on our system,
so please go home, sir.
If you stay here, we can't investigate it.
(Police)
Take care, sir.
She'll go home.
My dad is just like him.
He can't stay still if he can't reach me even for a few hours.
He said he hasn't talked to her...
for 4 hours. Not 4 days.
(Beware of Wildfires)
Even after a person dies,
the sense of hearing lingers.
I hear the whistling sound.
I only hear the whistling.
I've been...
murdered.
And this is the 69th death I've seen.
Chae So Yoon...
is dead.
Mountain, a man,
a zip-tie, whistling,
and white flowers.
(Mountain, a man, a zip-tie, whistling, and white flowers)
I didn't want to see it again.
Someone's death.
Did your dad go somewhere?
He went on a patrol for a moment.
I brought some rice cake.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
The baby. The baby's throat hurts.
It says it can't really breathe.
Seeing things I shouldn't be seeing.
It's no less than a curse.
Why did you say that to me back then?
I was just...
worried about the baby.
I'm sorry.
About what? That the umbilical cord choked him?
That's not it. I just...
The baby was fine. And because of you,
because you said something ominous!
You little devil. Die.
Die! You should die as well!
- That's enough. - You should die as well.
Stop that. Don't do that to the kid.
- Die! - Stop!
- Don't do that to the kid. - Ma'am.
What are you doing to her?
You!
Are you okay?
Stop. That's enough.
Dad.
Am I a bad person?
No.
I know you're not.
I know you were trying to help that lady.
What is supernaturality?
What's a shaman?
People say that I'm possessed.
That's because you're a bit different from everyone else.
It's because you're special.
It's not that they hate you.
People are just scared because you're different.
I don't want to be like this.
Thank you.
Have you had a chance to look at everything?
Oh, yes.
Ma'am.
My child gets...
scared very easily.
Even at night, she can't switch off the lights.
That's what I'm most worried about.
I worry that she might be kept at some dark place,
trembling alone.
She'll be okay, right?
I'll look for her.
Even if she gets sold to some remote island,
I'm sure she'll survive.
I'm sure she'll be back safe and sound.
She grabbed...
the silk string...
on her first birthday.
I'm not worried.
She'll be back.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
A body was found four days ago in Hwaju.
The victim died from asphyxiation by a zip-tie,
and her body was found by the landowner.
- I have a question. - I'll take questions afterward.
- The victim had debts... - What is it?
Don't talk to me.
I'm fighting with myself right now.
We think it's suicide.
I can't.
We can't conclude that it's suicide.
There are two constriction marks on the neck, right?
It's not common, but if one hangs herself,
it can happen.
The place the body was found has no ties to the victim whatsoever.
Suicidal people usually go to places that are meaningful...
20 percent of the cases have exceptions.
Her shoe is missing.
What are you trying to do here?
Close the case.
There are two more.
With similar methods.
They were found in Hwaju.
They also died from the zip-tie asphyxiation...
and left no wills.
The span of the two cases is quite long,
and both were considered suicides,
so we just couldn't find the similarities.
It's a serial murder.
One that's still going on.
The murderer's intention is as follows.
First, the murderer does not sexually assault the victims,
and their only goal is to kill.
It's likely that the murderer finds it hard to date women...
due to their appearance...
or...
insecurity regarding their sexuality.
What are you looking at?
Second, all victims are about 155cm tall...
and are all petite.
They chose the victims that are easy to overpower.
Therefore, the murderer is probably shorter than average.
Third, the constriction marks are as clean as that of suicide.
The suspect is probably a very neat person...
who buttons his shirt to the very top.
He'd probably have no prior records.
Then how are you going to start your investigation?
He has succeeded three times already,
so he must be very confident by now.
He'll probably go back to the murder scene at least once.
(We're looking for witnesses. If you've seen a woman...)
Sung Ki, I'm done. Please check it.
Okay.
(A woman in a pink coat and red shoes...)
It's dangerous times.
A young lady must have gone missing.
Did you see that sign earlier?
You were looking at it.
Even driving a taxi is scary now.
We don't get to choose our customers, you know.
Let's say a wanted guy got in my taxi.
I'd be stuck with him in this small car.
Imagine how scary that might be.
Watch what you say, you scumbag.
You have a dirty mouth, don't you?
I was too chatty, wasn't I?
I'm sorry. It's my habit.
Sometimes, my customers...
Shut up and drive.
Turn that off.
Why? Do you not like this?
Oh, when I drive, I always play some music.
It makes me feel at ease and...
I said shut up!
The range that the suspect covers, such as his commuting route,
is very large.
Therefore, the suspect is someone who can make the victims...
ride their car and go somewhere with no resistance.
For example?
For example,
a taxi driver.
Gosh, this lunatic.
He drives just like how he sounds, this rat.
Gosh, I don't believe this.
Hurry up and go.
What?
That was so sudden. I'm sorry.
Then I'll take you to your destination safely.
(Beware of Wildfires)
(This area is prohibited to prevent fires.)
(Beware of Wildfires)
Ma'am.
I'm a police officer.
By any chance, did you hear a woman screaming in this area?
Maybe someone fighting or...
I don't know. When the sun sets, we just go to bed.
Excuse me, sir.
Who is this?
I'm a police officer. Can I speak with you for a minute?
The footage for the first case is too old and gone.
We have it for the second and third ones.
The spot where the victims got in the car is in a blind spot.
Play it.
Go back.
A bit more.
Right here.
That orange taxi.
I think he just passed in front of this.
He didn't get a customer.
Right. This car seems to be roaming around the scene.
The last time he appeared here...
was two minutes before the victim went missing.
Jae In, over here as well.
Zoom in and enhance the resolution.
(33, 1836)
He's dead meat now.
I just wanted to ask you...
if you've heard any loud sounds last night.
Maybe someone screaming.
I'm not sure.
We're looking for this woman.
I don't know.
Did something happen around here?
She's missing.
Excuse me.
Do you drive the taxi during the day or at night?
I own this taxi, so I just go whenever I want.
Sometimes during the day, sometimes at night.
Did you drive last night?
No.
Can I take a look at your black box?
Why?
I'm just wondering...
if it recorded something useful since you drive around here.
This is on the road that leads to the mountain.
Sure, go ahead.
Can you stay here for a minute? I'm going to soak this rag first.
We can head inside to look at the black box footage.
Okay.
It's ready.
Okay.
The video isn't playing.
Excuse me, but you're Mr. Han Sang Gu, right?
You have to come with me to the police station.
Why? Me?
Do Hun.
Over here. We got the zip-ties.
So...
you're the suspect of the Hwaju serial murder.
So this woman went missing,
and you came to check out the prime suspect's house?
Coincidentally?
Yes.
Well, it seems so.
This neighborhood isn't even in your precinct.
Well,
as I was asking around,
I saw this creepy neighborhood...
and had a hunch maybe this was it.
You pulled that off with this picture only?
I have my own ways of investigating.
What? Your own ways?
Don't take this personally and listen.
I usually don't say these things myself,
but my IQ is 167. 167.
It took me exactly four days...
to look over the closed cases and finding the suspect.
And how could you...
How are you here earlier than I am?
You won't believe it even if I told you.
Are you kidding? Do you think I'm joking?
Jae In, the forensics team is here.
You.
I'll see you around.
All right. You have 48 hours.
We arrested him without a warrant,
so we have to find evidence within 48 hours to get a warrant...
or we have to get him to confess.
Let's get either one of those done.
If we fail,
we'd be letting a crazy beast...
loose.
Did you meet Ms. Chae So Yoon that day?
No.
Did you ever do something that would hurt your conscience before?
No.
You weren't home last night. Where were you? You didn't pick up either.
Did you wait for long?
Of course.
I'm tired.
And sleepy.
Why don't you wash up and sleep on your bed?
Give me a minute.
Dad.
I saw it again.
I saw it,
but there was nothing I could do.
How would you feel if I disappeared?
Then I'll die.
Her father would feel the same way.
He wouldn't be able to sleep and and wait for his dead daughter.
I'm totally useless.
Useless.
My daughter,
you must have had a very upsetting and difficult day.
(5,000-dollar reward)
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
He doesn't even have an alibi.
How can he fool the lie detector so perfectly?
The black box is useless,
and what about the zip-ties?
They're clean. He says he bought them to organize some cables.
What about his car and house?
The forensics team is floored by how flawless it is.
I mean...
I've never seen a person...
who erases his fingerprints at his own home.
He's pro.
He looks like a decent guy who never forgets to pay his taxes.
Looks have nothing to do with their crimes.
- What are you doing? - I'm the good-looking one.
Good work.
Excuse me.
I told this to all the other detectives,
but I'm here even though I'm innocent.
Just talk comfortably.
We've already met, Sang Gu.
I can call you by your name, right?
Sure.
Sang Gu,
do you have a hobby?
A hobby?
I don't really have a hobby,
but I watch movies at home.
I heard you like cartoons. What's your favorite?
Mine is "Toy Story 3".
I just like all of them.
What's your favorite color?
Green...
But what is this about?
What is your ideal type of woman?
What is this about?
I simply want to know more about you, Sang Gu.
Don't feel pressured. Just tell the first thing you think of.
Just pretend you're on a blind date.
He's putting on a lip balm, right?
Is he out of his mind?
He said he'd find it.
Find what?
The switch...
that will put him off-balance once turned on.
He said he'd find it.
The switch?
What's the kindest thing you did recently?
A cat was hit by a car,
so I took it to the vet.
What did you do last night?
I worked and after that, I cleaned my house...
and washed my car.
You must be a very neat person.
Seeing clean things makes me feel refreshed.
That's why your shirt is very neatly ironed as well.
Did you iron it yourself?
Oh, my.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Here's a handkerchief.
When did you break your arm?
I can feel that it's been fractured...
many times.
A long time ago, I got hurt.
By any chance, did someone beat you?
Who did it?
I don't remember.
According to his papers, he has no family.
He'd been adopted before, but he was sent back twice.
After that, he's stayed at several facilities.
He's had a troubled life.
You're almost like a human sandbag.
It must have hurt a lot.
Who did it?
Won't you tell me?
Think carefully.
You remember it, don't you?
I don't. I don't know.
I want to go home.
I want to go.
In "Finding Nemo", they say,
"Don't close your eyes and look."
"The truth might not be as scary as you think it is."
You'll remember clearly.
What does he look like?
Someone, please get him out of here.
Get him out of here!
Gosh.
Tell me where this woman is.
You know her, right?
If you tell me, I'll get you out of this room.
If I tell you the truth,
will you really let me go?
I killed...
those women.
Is that what you expected me to say?
It wasn't me.
An unhappy childhood...
doesn't make a person a criminal, does it?
I believe...
that kind of prejudice...
is what makes this world crooked.
How impressive.
You're a funny detective as well.
I'm not sure why you're suspecting me,
but if you want to lock someone up,
bring the evidence.
I will.
Excuse me for a second.
You're a clean freak.
But it was bothering me how dirty your shoes are.
You must have one more hobby...
other than watching movies.
The body of the last missing person is the only evidence.
Make sure to examine all of the dirt on these shoes.
Okay.
Hey, I need to speak with you.
Jae In. That punk.
Hey, Cheon Jae In.
Here's your underwear.
Thank you.
You know, I have something to talk to you about.
Not now.
See you at home.
You'll be home tomorrow, right?
We don't have much time to explain.
We found some pollen on the suspect's shoes.
It's the windflower that grows here.
I heard it's a rare flower.
Yes. It usually grows in Buan, Jinan, and...
around Mount Jiri and Halla.
It's very rare in the central region.
Where does it grow here?
This is where the person went missing.
I see.
Gosh, this is taking so long.
- We found her. - They found her.
We found her. Let's go.
She couldn't even close her eyes.
What a pity.
It's him, right?
He's a very clean guy.
Do you think he left anything?
On her right hand,
the rigor mortis looks very strange.
Get the DNA sample of the taxi driver and compare it.
What is it?
Check the blood under her nails.
I'm sure somewhere on his body, her nails left a mark.
(Beware of Wildfires)
Is that my daughter?
Please answer me, ma'am.
Is that So Yoon?
I'm sorry.
I can't believe you until I see her myself.
Let me see her!
Not now, sir. You need to wait for the National Forensic Service...
It's my daughter!
Sir. Sir, calm down.
Sir.
Calm down, sir.
- No! - Calm down, sir.
- Please. - No! No!
Calm down, sir.
Excuse me.
I want to talk to you.
About something important.
Is it a change of heart...
now that we've found the body?
- Well, if you confess now... - That's not it.
Please,
order some food for me.
You little...
I have rights, you know.
I'm not even a culprit yet.
I don't want to skip meals here.
But they got the DNA.
Why is he doing this?
Why is he so calm?
We need this done quickly.
(Han Sang Gu)
Are the results ready?
It's Han Sang Gu's,
right?
Apparently, it's not his.
Are you kidding me?
There must have been a mistake.
Check again!
If it's not his, I'm going to kill you myself!
I remember what you said.
The reporters know that...
it's a serial murder.
Listen.
Get his shoes and clothes...
and make a case somehow.
There is no way to prove that he was at the same place...
with the victim at the same time.
Are you going to let him go, then?
Do something, you punks! Please!
Excuse me. I need to talk to Detective Cheon.
Jesus said, "Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood..."
What was it?
"They have eternal life,"
"and I will raise them up on the last day." That.
Are you trying to tell me about your religion?
When every second we lose is critical?
No!
You're out of your mind.
Wat.
This is what that man said.
What did he do?
That's what he said as he was killing Chae So Yoon.
That's what he said.
Did you see him kill her?
No, but...
I can't explain it, but it's a similar experience.
Do you have a supernatural power or something?
Is this fantasy, not detective work?
Is that something only I don't know?
I don't care what you say.
But there is something different about this case.
Go home.
Three people died, no less.
Please believe me.
As you say, this is a matter of life and death.
Take your delusions home with you.
You said it yourself...
not to just trust your eyes.
You said it yourself...
that the police shouldn't be like that!
They want you in.
You may go.
I don't think I'll forget you until I die,
Detective Cheon Jae In.
I have something to tell him.
- Who do you think... - We have one minute left.
Don't kill me.
I'm...
trying to save you.
I'm trying to save you.
I will...
give you salvation.
I will give you salvation.
Don't kill me.
Jesus said,
"Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life."
Jesus said,
"Those who eat my flesh..."
"and drink my blood have eternal life,"
"and I will raise them up on the last day."
"And I will raise them up on the last day."
Salvation, my foot!
You will go to hell.
Say it.
Say it was you.
Say it!
Fine.
What are you doing? Time's up.
You can't let him go!
Well, then. I can go now, right?
No.
No. No.
He can't go.
Oh, no. What do I do?
He can't go.
Stop right there, Han Sang Gu!
- Lower your gun! - Stop!
What is it?
- Calm down. - Lower your gun.
Lower your gun.
- Calm down. - Calm down first.
Calm down.
Hey! Hey!
- Calm down. - Lower it.
Lower that gun!
You can't let him out of here. Never.
Lower the gun!
We have to kill him. If we don't, he'll kill more people.
Don't move. Don't move!
Run as if your life depends on it.
If you don't, they'll come for you,
Byeol.
Byeol, look.
(Byeol)
Snap out of it!
I'm not sure what you saw or heard,
but if you do this...
because you can't control your emotions, then quit your job.
People like you don't deserve to be a cop.
Get the detectives to follow him.
And put a GPS tracker on his taxi.
Okay.
Who is that man?
How creepy.
I have to remember it.
Remember it, Kim Dan.
It's where Dad works.
Is she sleeping?
(Brother)
No, Su In.
Hold on! Hold on!
I'll get you down.
Hold on! Hold on!
Su In!
Open your eyes. Open your eyes!
All my life, I've been abiding by the laws and the rules.
However, if he was in front of me at that moment...
and if I had a gun,
what choice would I have made?
That night, the world I knew...
came tumbling down on me.
All my life, I've been an involuntary witness...
of people's tragedy.
However,
no one has ever believed me.
(2 years later)
Let's see.
Your luck today.
You need a ladder to climb to the roof.
From the northwest, someone you've been waiting for will come.
Oh, my. You'll meet someone nice.
What kind of person comes to meet you from all directions...
so often?
Who's that?
He's the president of the homeless network.
He doesn't look much, but he even has a college degree.
Really?
Cheol Su, why do you get obsessed with this so much?
You've gained weight as well.
I'm not running a charity here.
I think I told you not to...
Not to eat this so much.
Eat some more. Here.
I can't bring myself to look at it.
Dan.
You've changed a lot.
After the workshop, you even know how to do this.
I mean, why is there poop at a crime scene?
In the past, thieves used to take dumps...
after robbing the house.
They believed that they won't get caught if they do.
This never happened for missing cases though.
I'm done.
Things have changed now.
This itself will tell us...
whom this belongs to.
I'll get going.
Wait.
Are you going straight to the NFS?
This will probably decompose.
I'll get an icebox and put it there.
What? Hey.
Hey!
People trip because of these...
stupid baskets!
I'm psychologically very damaged as well.
How will you pay for this?
Hey, I'll pay for that!
What the heck is this hobo talking about?
I said I'll pay for that...
if I can find the proof that the lady actually did you harm.
This crazy hobo...
Go and look at yourself in the mirror.
And see if you can help anyone out financially...
or receive help.
You're my bad luck.
In 2013, a homeless man...
came to the railway security office...
and said someone stole his bag which had 1,920,000 dollars.
No one believed him at first.
But it turns out that man had 50 million dollars in the bank.
What?
What are you talking about?
How can you be so sure I'm homeless...
just because I'm dressed this way?
My point is that not everything you see is what it seems.
This voice...
50 million, my foot.
Hey, eat this.
According to the rule, I shouldn't pick fights,
and I shouldn't make unnecessary physical contacts,
but today, I'll send you to the hospital...
in a pulp.
If you want to start a fight, you have to make sense first.
You're not scaring him because you don't make any sense.
There was a face that I really wanted to forget.
However,
just like today's horoscope, we met again.
For the first time in two years, spring came.
I've been waiting.
Should I let you live?
Almighty Father in heaven!
The princess is back.
There was one person who was going to live.
Who?
You and I, we have no ordinary relationship.
Then guess if your story is true.
What will I be doing?
Prove something!
He'll be back.
Maybe, he's already back.
Apologize?
A ghost...
