(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)
Mi Jin's death changed again.
The time of death...
changed from 7:00pm to 4:00pm.
Doctor!
Mi Jin.
- Mi Jin. - No.
He's the culprit?
Why? Do you know him?
You're here.
Let me introduce him.
He's Kim Tae Pyung, the man I mentioned before.
You'll never find...
Seo Joon Young.
How did I forget about you?
Mr. Goo, you're under emergency arrest...
for Lee Mi Jin's murder.
Is that what he told you? That I'm the culprit?
What is it that you want?
What is it?
(Forensics Service)
This is absurd.
It's already weird enough that someone can see others' death,
and you now trust what he says and accuse me of murder?
I guess you don't remember because it has been too long.
Mr. Kim Tae Pyung said he saw you...
at Hope Orphanage 20 years ago.
I heard he predicted your death.
He said you'll commit suicide in front of police officers.
But that's not going to happen.
I'm going to...
lock you up in jail for murdering Mi Jin.
That's called a targeted investigation.
Don't worry.
I won't lock up...
an innocent man in prison.
Please leave.
Look for his computers and cameras.
Also, pay extra attention to find...
- the strings he used to bind her. - Yes, ma'am.
You must collect everything...
that can be used against him as evidence.
- Yes. - Yes, ma'am.
If he was arrested without a warrant,
the arrest needs to be approved by a prosecutor within 12 hours.
- Within 12 hours? - If it's not approved,
they have to let him go. It's 7pm right now.
- We have nine hours. - Yes.
Can you find out a bit more about Goo Do Kyung?
And ask if anyone knows him at Hope Orphanage.
Yes, okay.
You were here?
Do you even care...
if I'm around or not?
Why did you do that?
You knew everything. Why didn't you say anything?
You already knew why I couldn't see Ms. Seo's death.
No?
I'm asking you.
That's why I told you...
that you two are...
in an ill-fated relationship.
You two like one another, but you can never be together.
Then it has to be an ill-fated relationship.
You can't see her death...
because you cause...
her death.
That woman, Seo Joon Young,
will die because of you.
So...
you should stop here.
Were you also unable to see...
the death of that woman you loved like how I can't see Joon Young's?
Yes.
That's why I liked her.
Okay. 1, 2.
Good.
1, 2.
- Come. - Really?
When I looked at her,
I felt like I was an ordinary person.
That's why...
I was heartbroken...
to see you.
There's this person that I want to keep seeing.
What do you do when you're alone?
What do you do for fun?
When I'm with her,
I love how I feel like an ordinary person.
Now I understand...
why you tried so hard to stop me.
And why...
you tried to kill yourself.
Sir. Wake up.
Did you know someone's death...
can be changed by murder?
Isn't that why you tried to kill yourself?
Committing suicide is...
a way of murdering yourself.
Yes.
Yet you...
saved my life.
But someone's fate...
doesn't change that easily as you think it would.
So you need to stop here.
Then at the very least,
you can avoid causing her death.
What if that isn't the case?
What if she still falls in danger?
Then it must be also her fate.
No.
As long as you can stop someone's murder,
getting murdered to death just cannot be...
someone's fate.
I saw how Joon Young's colleagues will die.
Hey.
You're here.
Mr. Kim Tae Pyung?
They all died...
on the same day due to an explosion.
It was gruesome.
Apart from them,
there were many other victims.
I need to know the connection between them...
and Joon Young's death...
and why that explosion occurred.
So?
Let's say you saved their lives.
What about Joon Young, whose death you can't see?
In the end, the remaining one will be full of sorrow.
I know who's trying to kill her.
I can stop him.
If that man is a murderer, you may die instead.
I'm not afraid of dying.
But before any of that happens,
I'm going to try to persuade him.
- Persuade him? - Yes.
I saw his face when he killed Mi Jin.
I have a feeling that murdering people...
isn't what he wants.
(The Game: Towards Zero)
Yes?
Okay. Bye.
What did they say?
They're still searching,
but both his laptop and cellphone are clean.
Hey, did you find anything?
Joon Young.
We found footages of the murderer entering and leaving Mi Jin's room.
But he's masked, so we can't identify him.
So we're looking through the other footages,
but it seems like he knew all the blind spots.
There are no traces of him.
What about the gown and sneakers that he wore at that time?
The squad is looking, but some of the wastes...
have been sent to the incineration plant,
so I'm not sure if we can find them.
All right. Keep me updated.
The best evidence we can get...
is the murderer's DNA from Mi Jin's fingernails,
so let's be patient.
- Okay. - Joon Young.
Didn't Tae Pyung say that he saw the murderer...
at Hope Orphanage?'
He did.
Jo Hyun Woo was there as well.
Look. I found this article while looking into the orphanage.
("Jo Hyun Woo, Son of Jo Pil Doo, Sent to Hope Orphanage")
Weren't you at that orphanage as well?
Yes.
I need to go somewhere.
Where are you going at this hour?
I need to verify something. I won't take long.
You must be hungry. Would you like me to order something?
No, I'm fine.
I'm Chief Nam Woo Hyun of Crime Division.
I heard you used to stay at the Hope Orphanage.
That's right.
Then do you remember a kid named Jo Hyun Woo?
Doesn't everyone?
Aren't you talking about Jo Pil Doo's son?
Were you two friends?
Not really.
Anyway, everyone there knew about him.
Thank you for sparing some time at this hour.
Don't mention it.
By the way, why do you need a photo of Jo Hyun Woo?
Is he related to Mi Jin's murderer?
No, it's something personal.
I see.
Still, I doubt he posted a photo...
of the culprit's family in the newspaper.
He may not have posted it, but I'm sure there's a photo.
He shot many photos of me.
(Killer of Midnight Case, People around Jo Pil Doo)
It must be here.
It's him. Jo Hyun Woo.
(Jo Hyun Woo)
What's your name?
What is it?
I don't have one.
I knew it.
He was Jo Hyun Woo.
Is he really Jo Hyun Woo?
If he's the one who had called me three years ago,
he must've recognized me.
(Investigation Information, Goo Do Kyung)
(Resident Registration, Goo Do Kyung)
But his resident registration number and fingerprints are different.
How's that possible?
Tae Pyung.
Did you look into it?
Yes, here.
But why did you ask me to look into Jo Hyun Woo, not Goo Do Kyung?
They're the same person.
What?
Had I not taken you to that orphanage,
you wouldn't have met that kid.
I was the one who followed you.
Don't you regret it?
Do you?
No.
Thanks to you, I'm still alive.
I don't regret it.
I'm glad, then.
By the way,
about that kid you were looking for...
You seem to have mistaken his name.
Goo Do Kyung, was it?
Do you know him as well?
20 years ago,
you came home after meeting that kid...
and fell ill for the next 10 days.
After a month, you finally talked to me.
You said...
you witnessed his committing suicide.
Yes.
I looked into him.
If committing suicide...
was an act of murder upon oneself,
then I believed I could prevent it.
So I wrote to him every day...
and sponsored him so that he could study...
in a good environment.
But once the Mother Superior passed away, we lost touch.
That kid's name...
was Jo Hyun Woo.
He is...
Jo Pil Doo's son.
Chief Nam.
Hey.
Why didn't you tell me...
that the boy who was at the orphanage with me...
was Jo Hyun Woo?
Why didn't you?
Because nothing good would've come out of knowing that.
But when Mr. Kim told us that the culprit...
used to stay at the Hope Orphanage,
you should've told me.
I couldn't think that far.
What took you so long?
Are you curious?
A bit.
It's 12:03am.
I will now start interrogating the suspect, Goo Do Kyung,
for Lee Mi Jin's murder which took place on October 23.
When was the first time you met Lee Mi Jin?
The day I met you for the first time.
I'm sure you remember.
We even had coffee together.
Detective Seo, you're here for the girl, right?
How did you know?
Gosh, even spies would know.
People on the news only talk about Jo Pil Doo's copycat.
You asked for my help...
regarding the case.
Don't you remember?
Why were you at the hospital?
I'm writing a paper with my senior alum...
because he asked me to join him.
You were pretty thorough.
This is a targeted investigation.
We will obtain the evidence...
that you killed Mi Jin in due time.
But I cannot understand why you would want to kill her.
That's how I came to find Jo Hyun Woo.
You stayed...
in the orphanage at that time too.
What's your relationship with Jo Hyun Woo?
Your chief asked me the same thing.
I guess you are very interested in him too.
I stayed with him too...
although it was very brief.
I was at the orphanage too.
Were you two close?
Would you kill for someone...
just because you're close?
- Were you? - No.
We weren't close.
You recognized him right away.
I guess you weren't complete strangers.
What kind of friend was he?
He was quiet.
Is that why...
you sympathized for him?
Why would you assume that?
I'm sure you saw how reporters harassed Jo Hyun Woo.
This photo was taken by a reporter...
who harassed Jo Hyun Woo.
Hyun Woo?
Hyun Woo.
Aren't you Jo Hyun Woo?
Did your dad ever show any odd behaviors?
- Hyun Woo. - Hyun Woo, look over here.
- Look over here. - Hyun Woo!
That reporter chased and harassed him...
that almost made him want to kill himself.
You talk...
as if you know it very well.
That's me next to him in the photo.
And that reporter was Lee Mi Jin's father.
His name is Lee Jun Hee.
I see.
Is that so?
Jo Hyun Woo committed suicide.
Did you know?
No. I didn't know.
Can we take a break?
I'd like to go to the restroom too.
Okay. We'll take a break.
You two. Follow him.
Yes, sir.
Joon Young.
Go back in.
Hey.
You're doing well.
Keep cornering him.
- Okay. - All right.
Excuse me.
Could I get some water?
Sure.
Let's resume.
Have you ever met Jo Pil Doo?
- No. - Have you gone to visit him?
Why would I?
Just answer my questions.
Have you?
Because you keep asking me such questions,
it's making me curious.
You must have found evidence that only makes sense...
when I have met Jo Pil Doo.
Joon Young, I have the DNA result.
It's Jo Pil Doo's DNA.
Call me when you get this.
What are you talking about?
How could you find Jo Pil Doo's DNA under Mi Jin's fingernail?
I don't understand that either, so I texted you.
When Mi Jin was murdered, you said you were with Jo Pil Doo.
National Forensic Service doesn't know about the inmates' information,
so I took care of it on my end.
But we found his DNA in Mi Jin's coffin...
and her body.
What are we supposed to do with this?
Something is wrong.
I'm sure the evidence must have been fabricated.
Joon Young.
We have a problem.
The prosecutor denied our request.
All right.
Let's talk.
Jo Hyun Woo.
My death must've been so powerful...
that you would want to see it again.
