Why did the gods give me this ability to see death, of all the abilities out there?
When I look into someone's eyes, I can see the moment right before their death.
It's the police! Get out!
What is this?
Why can't I see this woman's death?
Wait a moment.
- Your name? - Kim Tae Pyeong.
Who is Jo Pil Doo?
He was a serial killer that killed seven female students...
No! It was exactly eight,
since there was a detective who died during the arrest.
The detective who died was Detective Seo Joon Yeong's father, Detective Seo Dong Cheol.
Look here, look here.
Cutie.
Help me! Help me, please!
There's a person locked in here!
Save me, please! Please!
[Kang Myeong Soo]
Please save me!

Are you protesting?
Here.
There are no cases. Leave!
You guys don't like that there are no cases,
since you have to put stories out. Right?
But... there shouldn't be a lot of cases.
On a day like this, you shouldn't be disappointed. You should feel relieved.
Eat.
I'm the person who you called earlier
about my daughter's phone... Why...
I found the phone right here.
By chance, that...
Your daughter bought it earlier.
Are you all right?
How did you know?
Yes?
That my daughter bought this cake... How did you know?
Mi Jin! Your mom's here, Mi Jin!
Mi Jin!
You saw her?
You saw her, didn't you?
You saw my Mi Jin getting kidnapped, didn't you!
No... That's not it.
Then... Then are you working with them?
My kid's phone and the cake. How do you know all that!
You saw her, right?
I'll... I'll leave.
You know the kidnapper, right? Are you one of them?
Where is the kidnapper! Hurry up and tell me!
Where is my Mi Jin?
My Mi Jin!
My Mi Jin! Where is she?
My Mi Jin, where is she?
Mom! Save me!
Please save me!
[Kang Myeong Soo]
Please save me!
Please save me...
[010-9640-636]
So... My kid... What happened is... I think my kid was kidnapped.
Ma'am, please calm down and speak slowly.
S-She dropped the c-cake and her phone in the street
and she... my kid... someone...
The cake was dropped not too far from where the phone was found.
I saw her at a cafe leaving after she bought a cake.
Ma'am said her daughter told her she was in front of her house
but I think something happened.
Oh, so she thinks that her daughter was kidnapped?
Yes, yes.
What's your daughter's name?
Mi Jin. Lee Mi Jin.
She's a freshman in high school. 17 years old.
When was the last time you spoke to your daughter?
O-One moment, please.
Where is it?
H-H-Here. She said that she was on her way home.
She even sent me a text but I checked it too late.
She said she was in front of the house.
Even in fear,
this woman is determined to find her child
and I'm holding it in. I can't tell her about her daughter's death.
Please stay calm, Ma'am.
Deep wrinkles. Thinning gray hair.
This officer will live to an old age and die in his sleep next to his wife.
It will be a peaceful death.
And most people will die like that.
- Let me go! - Be quiet!
What did I do so wrong?
They fall asleep, as if they are sleeping
at home.
I'm asking you where you live?
Or in the hospital.
But why does this girl have to face such a horrible death?
If God decides our fated deaths, I want to ask him this.
Is murder due to God's negligence,
or is it... from human arrogance?
Where am I standing between the two?
Excuse me... I'm sorry about earlier.
I-I was out of my mind.
Thank you very much.
Please... use this.
Yes.
Yes. I got it.
I'm going to the Police Patrol Division and coming back.
What happened?
There's a report of a missing female high school student. They say it might be a kidnapping case so I want to go and check.
- I'll be back. - I'll be back.
Happy?
Oh, what's up?
Senior, Junior Reporter Oh Ye Ji reporting.
Did you get anything?
They're not saying anything about the Oh Seong Min case,
but there's a female high school student who was just kidnapped.
How do you know she was kidnapped? Is there enough evidence to back that up?
Uh... well...
I'm sorry. I will look into it and report back.
Geez! I don't know how junior reporters these days work like this.
They should do all the work on the first try not to end up doing it many times.
You were like that, too.
Right? Have some coffee.
Thank you.
Did you find something?
[Wife]
[The person you are calling is not available.]
Is he still not picking up?
He said he was in a meeting. He must be really busy.
She just bought the cake and left right away.
After my daughter left, is there anything that shows that someone followed her?
Or was there any sound?
It doesn't look like it.
She left the cafe at 7:29 p.m.
Ma'am, when did you say you received the text from your daughter?
At 7:35.
At 7: 35?
Yes. I understand.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Ma'am, would you take us to the place where you got her phone?
Yes.
There's no CCTV nearby and there are no dashboard cameras, either.
Even though there are no video clips of the scene, there must be some traces of her leaving this place.
Looking at these tire tracks, it must be a one-ton sized truck.
Secure CCTV clips of every exit from this road.
Check if there was a truck that passed around this time.
All right.
- Did my daughter get kidnapped in a truck? - Yes.
Like a refrigerated truck?
We still need to find out more to make sure.
She could've dropped the cake by mistake.
You must be very upset. But would you like to go home and wait there?
We will make sure to contact you.
Ma'am, I will take you to the taxi stop.
Don't worry too much.
Let's go.
This way.
Please don't worry.
What's the matter?
- You didn't wear it. - Pardon?
The bulletproof vest.
I think you're good at lying but you're not very meticulous.
Think whatever you want.
Then, why did you follow that student?
A girl you saw for the first time at a cafe. Why did you follow her?
Mi Jin! Mi Jin!
Mi Jin!
What? Did you by chance fall for her at first sight or something?
We were just coincidentally walking down the same street.
You get misunderstood because you lie like that.
Your collar is stretched out.
It looks like the girl's mother grabbed you by the collar.
So didn't she think you were the kidnapper but you resolved the misunderstanding later?
You're really observant.
You got kidnapped and shot because of a misunderstanding. And now your collar was grabbed by her because of one.
But until when will you keep calling these misunderstandings?
If that student was really kidnapped...
No, if you saw her death,
then she's in real danger right now!
So tell me the truth!
Is it true that when you look into someone's eyes, you can see their death?
How in the world...
does she die?
She dies... while buried alive
in an abandoned factory.
Mi Jin!
- In a wooden casket about 1.5 meters long... - Hold her up!
...slightly longer than her height.
You'll save her.
Mi Jin!
No, Mi Jin!
You'll even do CPR on her.
But she... unfortunately
won't survive after midnight.
How do you know she will die tonight at midnight?
There is a phone.
It isn't hers but the day and time on that phone indicate midnight, the zero hour.
Do you know what you're saying?
You will learn it soon.
It's 9:15 p.m. right now so you have 2 hours and 45 minutes left.
Senior...
If his words are true...
As for how Jo Pil Doo killed his victims 20 years ago...
Mi Jin will die in the same way.
Even if you have to look at every CCTV, find that truck. Hurry.
Yes.
Hello?
I'm the phone owner.
By chance, did you pick up my phone?
Mister, please save me.
I'm... locked up someplace right now.
Your phone was in here.
Eh? Where are you?
I think I'm inside a casket.
Hey! Who are you? You took my phone!
I don't know! I'm telling the truth!
When I woke up, I was locked inside this casket.
And your phone was in here!
Ah, I'm going crazy! Are you kidding me?
Hello? Mister?
Mister!
Please don't hang up!
Please save me!
Emergency Calls... Police (112) (T/N: Same as 911 in US)
Hello? Please help me. Save me!
Please stay calm. Can you tell me what happened?
I'm locked up in a casket right now.
Save me!
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
So you just told her everything!
The student was at risk.
I couldn't pretend I didn't know.
And even if I can't change the moment before she dies,
maybe she can contact her parents if I tell them in advance.
Okay, that may be the case.
But it's not just an ordinary case, it's a murder case!
What if she gets the wrong idea and it puts you in danger, Tae Pyeong?
Did you not think about that?
If he thought that far, would he make this kind of mess?
You've nagged at him enough.
Unless he's an idiot, he has understood it by now.
So are you telling me to believe that or what?
He recited the exact same method used by Jo Pil Doo 20 years ago!
Jo Pil Doo?
It's hard to believe, but he told me the size of the coffin the killer used and the estimated time of the victim's death.
Why would he lie about something like that?
So what!
So you're saying that we should do an open investigation just based on that guy's word or what?
What? There's a guy who can see death so let's just trust him?
He said there was a phone in the coffin so there must be a 112 call.
- Seo Joon Yeong! - I'm saying let's just check if 112 received a call or not!
Whether you believe it or not, if it turns out to be true,
then it means that the horrific murders from 20 years ago are starting up again.
You know we can't let that happen!
- Bong Soo, check it out. - Yes.
Who in the world was Jo Pil Doo that they act like that?
Yes, this is the Central District Police Homicide Team 1.
Have there been any calls to 112 for help due to a kidnapping?
[Jo Pil Doo? Detective Dies During Arrest ?]
Yes. Thank you.
They say they haven't had any calls about it.
I know you're sensitive about the Jo Pil Doo case. I understand.
Because of him, your dad passed away.
Then the daughter of the detective who died during the arrest is...
One two, one two. This is the situation room with a Code Zero.
The present time is 21:33.
I am on the phone with a female student who says she is locked in a casket.
Requesting support from the Homicide Team on duty.
What?
This is Junior Reporter Oh Ye Ji with a report.
There was a serial killer called Jo Pil Doo, who murdered seven female students 20 years ago.
You don't have to explain, I know who he is. What about Pil Doo?
A kidnapping case reported just now seems similar to his cases back then.
What? Are you sure?
The 112 call center received a report. A police dispatcher is currently on the phone with the victim.
Hello? Hello?
Please help me. I don't know when this phone call will be disconnected.
Hello? You are the one who called earlier, right?
I'm currently locked in a casket.
On my way home... suddenly...
When I woke up, I was in here.
Please help me.
Please help me! Get me out of here!
Please save me!
Save me!
Miss, please calm down.
Miss.
Save me!
Please save me!
Mi Jin? Mi Jin?
Who are you?
How do you know my name?
I am Detective Seo Joon Yeong.
Right now, our team is coming to save you,
so don't cry.
Can you slowly tell us what happened?
Once I woke up, I was trapped in this casket.
I don't know who this phone belongs to.
I got a call from some man
and I don't know when this call will get disconnected either.
I'm scared.
Mi Jin, before this call ends, we will definitely be there to save you.
I promise.
Excuse me, my mom...
Please contact my mom.
My mom's name is Yoo Ji Won.
Dad's name is Lee Joon Hui. The home number is...
I know the number.
All right, Mi Jin. [Yoo Ji Won, Lee Joon Hui]
Your mom actually reported this.
My mom did? [GPS location is not available]
My mom did?
Mom! Mom...
Senior.
Mom...
- The number doesn't show so it's not traceable. - How about IMEI ? (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
The IMEI is not captured either.
Mi Jin, you said you got a call to that phone earlier, right?
If the call comes in again, can you memorize the number and tell us?
If we know the number, it'll help us to find the location.
Okay.
All right. Thank you.
[Yoo Ji Won. Lee Joon Hui]
- Find them. - Yes.
Is this all?
The files of 1997 and 1998 are missing!
Bring everything related to Jo Pil Doo!
- Connect her. - Yes.
Yes, Senior.
Oh Ye Ji, it's Captain Lee.
Yes, Captain.
Okay, did you find out who the victim is?
I couldn't find out anything else yet except it's a 17-year-old female high school student.
A 17-year-old female high school student.
And?
The suspect is using the same method as the case 20 years ago.
At an abandoned factory, she is buried alive in a 1.5-meter long casket.
A person who can see people's deaths told them.
What?
The thing is...
Detective Seo Joon Yeong is the daughter of the detective who died during the arrest of Jo Pil Doo.
We know that.
Wait.
Don't tell me... Is Seo Joon Yeong in charge of this case as well?
Yes.
Okay. We got a rough outline.
Hey, report to us as soon as you find out the victim's identity.
Yes.
[A 17 year old female high school student. The same method... ]
A Jo Pil Doo copycat crime. Daughter following in father's footsteps.
Will Detective Seo Joon Yeong catch the culprit?
Wow, the headline will be awesome!
Everyone attention!
We will be the first ones to report on this female student kidnapping case, no matter what.
- Yes! -Yes!
We'll focus on Seo Joon Yeong for our first article's headline.
As soon as we find out the victim's identity, put out articles with updates in real-time.
- Okay? - Yes!
[Missing Person Report By Yoo Ji Won]
[Hana Daily] [While Arresting Jo Pil Doo, Detective Seo Dong Cheol Falls To Death From High-Rise Building]
I have no idea what's happening...
This isn't just a simple copycat crime.
What do you mean?
Student Lee Mi Jin... is Reporter Lee Joon Hui's daughter.
Reporter Lee Joon Hui?
Lee Joon Hui, Reporter Lee Joon Hui...
The reporter that wrote your dad's articles 20 years ago?
He was also the reporter who tenaciously went after Jo Pil Doo's case for the intensive coverage.
Kim Tae Pyeong was right.
What did he say? Even if we do find her, she'll die?
Even if it's so, we should save her.
To do that, we have to bring her mom here.
If we want to buy one minute or even one second, her mom will be more helpful in calming Mi Jin than we can.
I get what you mean. But what if something bad happens to Mi Jin?
Even if things go well right now, if the kid dies, we don't know how the parents will react.
And moreover, her parent is Lee Joon Hui.
You don't know what or how that guy will place blame on you.
If this is a situation that someone has to take responsibility for happening, I'll take it.
- Joon Yeong! - If there's a way to save her,
then we should do all we can!
[Wife]
Come here.
Join Oh Ye Ji right now and cover Seo Joon Yeong.
Once they find out the location, they'll move to that place. So you stay very close to her and send us any pictures of the scene.
Okay.
- Okay, everyone, hurry up ! - Yes, Sir!
Hello?
It's Detective Seo Joon Yeong.
Yes, Detective.
I'm wondering if you could hurry and come to the police station right now.
- Yes? - We got a call from Mi Jin.
Y-Yes.
Mom.
It's my mom's birthday.
Mi Jin, it's okay to tell me anything.
Can you tell me what you remember at the time?
