YEAR 1992
I'll get going now.
See you.
Could you please go a little faster?
My daughter is waiting at home.
If your daughter is waiting, I should drive more safely.
If you're in an accident, what'll she do without her mom?
I guess you're right.
Of course.
Sir.
Get up.
Sir.
I should go home.
Yeon-ho must be waiting for me.
Gwang-ho,
are you looking at me?
Since you left me, I've been left alone.
I don't want Yeon-ho to be left alone as well.
Gwang-ho.
SUNHWA BOUTIQUE
-The number you've dialed... -Darn it.
Everybody knows who the culprit is in this case.
You know what will happen if you fail to find him.
-Let's start the meeting. -Chief Jeon.
Gwang-ho has not come yet.
Kiddo didn't show up in the scene of the crime.
Is he sick?
Is he suffering from an aftereffect following the explosion?
Probably. He has never been absent. Do you want me to call him?
No. He didn't answer the phone.
Something happened to Gwang-ho, didn't it?
Does it have something to do with someone named Yeon-suk?
How do you know her?
Gwang-ho talked about her once.
He said he has to find her.
It's the same person.
You called her using honorifics. Is she...
Yes.
She's Gwang-ho's wife.
Did something happen to her?
Gwang-ho looked for her desperately.
He thought he should at least meet her if he cannot return,
but he found out...
she had died 20 years ago.
Plus, she had a child.
Gwang-ho came here
without knowing she had his baby.
Even the hospital doesn't know where his child is.
He must be out of his mind by now.
Park Gwang-ho!
Gwang-ho.
Just go.
Get up.
An accident took place.
It's Jung Ho-yeong
I said just go.
Do you think the dead will come back if you stay here like this?
What?
Do you think Yeon-suk will come back to life?
Hey.
What do you know to say such things?
Did you come here to suggest finding Jung Ho-yeong with me?
Kim Seon-jae, you are really amazing.
Are you saying I should just forget about herz and find Jung Ho-yeong?
What will change if I find Jung Ho-yeong?
Yeon-suk is dead. Nothing matters anymore!
Hey.
You can't say that to me.
Jung Ho-yeong killed countless people.
He might have killed my mother as well.
Yeon-suk died while I was chasing that guy.
That is why we should find him.
You said you're sorry for not catching the culprit. Was that just a lie?
Was it?
You mean you will just walk away irresponsibly?
Will you just let the culprit go like you did 30 years ago?
What about your child?
Don't you want to meet your child?
Staying here can't make any difference.
Do you think I was all right when I heard my mom died?
I was stuck and couldn't do anything, just like you.
You are 30 and struggling this much. I was just 18 years old back then.
What about your child who was just six years old?
How would your child have felt when she lost her mom?
How do you think she has lived after she was left behind all alone?
Darn it. So what can I do?
Find your daughter and solve the case. You should go back!
Go and stop it from happening.
Go back
and save Yeon-suk.
You said you are here because of my case.
Doesn't it mean that you can go back after you catch the culprit?
Gwang-ho.
Let's find him together.
Let's find him.
Where are you going?
I should go. I have to catch the guy.
If I was with her,
Yeon-suk wouldn't have gotten in that taxi.
I just have to make sure she doesn't get in that taxi.
I'll to stop her from getting in that taxi.
I'm going to catch the suspect and go back.
365 DELIVERY SERVICE
Where's Jung Ho-yeong? Where's this scum?
Have you located him?
What's wrong with you? You just got here.
Considering he's yelling, he must be all right.
I don't think he's all right. His eyes are swollen.
You still haven't found him?
What have you been doing?
We've been waiting for you.
Let's begin the meeting.
The victim's name is Lee Seo-yeon. She was 25 years old.
She went to Hwayang University
and was studying for the civil service exam.
According to her older brother,
she left home around 7 o'clock in the evening.
The bus stop is a 20-minute walk from her home.
We checked all the CCTVs in buses that were running at that time.
She wasn't on any of them.
She disappeared during that 20 minutes.
CRIME SCENE PHOTOS
This scum strangled the victim with stockings again.
Anything else at the scene?
There was nothing that belonged to the suspect.
The bag, the diary, even the pair of stockings were all victim's belongings.
The suspect left nothing behind.
Have you ever seen Jung Ho-yeong leaving evidence behind?
We only found him once on CCTV footage during Yang Yu-jin's case.
At least we have a witness, right?
Yes. A chicken restaurant owner saw the victim while making a delivery.
A car seemed to be moving too slow, so he went ahead of it.
That's when he saw the victim.
It's highly possible that Jung Ho-yeong was in that car.
Did he see the license plate? Was it registered in her name?
He said it was too dark to see the plate,
but he did say he thinks the car was a black sedan.
The car that picked up Yang Yu-jin two years ago was also a sedan.
It was white.
The suspect would've gotten the car painted and changed the plate.
We have to find that black sedan first.
Tae-hui and Min-ha search the CCTVs near the crime scene.
You two check the autopsy results and then join the team at the crime scene.
We've already used up one day.
Let's move quickly.
Seon-jae.
What do I have to do in order to find a missing child?
If this is about Yeon-ho,
I've already called a friend on the missing persons team.
-What? -You said a social worker took her.
Then she could've been sent to an orphanage or an adoption agency.
It won't be easy considering how long it's been. Let's wait and see.
My friend will be in touch soon.
Thanks, Seon-jae.
Now let's go catch the suspect.
You and I are after the same guy.
I wonder
whether Yeon-suk told her about me.
I wonder who she looks like.
I hope she took after her mother's looks. After all, she's a girl.
Loosen up that frown. You're already ugly as it is.
Let's go.
That *.
DEAD BODY FOUND NEAR DIVISION 18
It was because of you, Lieutenant Kim.
Jung Ho-yeong will commit another murder.
Actually, he may have killed someone already
because he wants you to react to that.
Why on earth would he do that?
I think you've become a trigger.
LIEUTENANT KIM
The cause of death is suffocation caused by pressure to the column.
You see this wound here?
The suspect tightened the stockings repeatedly,
causing these red marks to appear on the face.
It also caused bleeding in the ears, and in the internal organs as well,
but there was exceptional bleeding in the lungs.
This proves that the suffocation process was long and intense.
It must've been very painful.
That scumbag.
This suspect seems to be experienced.
The presumed time of death is between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Among the gastric contents, the cake that she had that night
was found undigested.
How on earth did he get away two years ago?
If he had been caught then, there wouldn't have been more victims.
In that case, then 30 years ago...
Why do I even bother?
We thought we had him at a dead end. This was unexpected.
The suspect usually committed a crime every two years or so.
I don't understand why that term has shortened.
Murderers don't have reasons for their murders.
Officer Park. What are you doing?
It's nothing.
Seon-jae. We need to talk.
The victim doesn't have the dots on her heel.
-I noticed. -What about the Haein River victim?
There was nothing on the autopsy report.
Then it's not the same guy.
Could there be a chance… that Jung Ho-yeong changed his methods?
-What? -Among serial killers,
there have been cases where suspects changed methods.
One suspect invaded houses and killed elderly people,
then started killing women in their 20s.
We thought they were different guys, but once we caught the suspect,
we found out it was the same guy.
It could be the same for the Jung Ho-yeong's case.
He might not have marked the dots.
Yes, Chief Jeon.
Did you see the autopsy result?
There's nothing special.
Goodness.
I'm about to leave the station. See you at the scene.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Excuse me. I'm Seo-yeon's older brother.
I was told to come pick up her belongings here.
I see.
I'm sorry. We should've delivered them to you.
22ND, 3 P.M. STUDY GROUP MEETING
She would've been at the study group meeting now.
She sure was diligent.
22ND, 3 P.M. STUDY GROUP MEETING
I told her I could give her a ride,
but she refused saying that she could take a bus.
I should've given her a ride.
I should have.
It's not your fault.
It's nobody's fault.
What is it?
This was delivered to Lieutenant Kim.
HWAYANG BOOKSTORE
Gosh.
Put it over there.
That'll be the end of today's lecture.
Professor.
About that suspect you said that hasn't been caught yet...
It's Jung Ho-yeong, isn't it?
I saw it on the news as well.
I heard it from a friend that the girl who was killed
was a student at our school.
-My goodness. -Is that true?
-I heard it's true. -That's terrible.
Then why don't we talk about that?
Why don't you spray this on me?
-Excuse me? -Go ahead.
Several years ago,
there were cases where the suspect would spray red liquid, chili powder,
or kimchi liquid, and flee the scene.
Should you report this to the police?
What would you do if you were the victim?
Well,
I'd be annoyed,
but it doesn't seem serious enough to report to the police.
It looks like nothing, right?
A few months later, the man
stabbed a woman who was passing by with a knife.
He became a murderer.
He stabbed her to see the red color.
He didn't splash the red liquid like this on a shirt.
A man grows up to be a murderer like that.
Now, let's think backward.
If Jung Ho-yeong hadn't been caught two years ago,
we might not have known there was a murderer like him around us.
But, Jung Ho-yeong was also a beginner at first.
The types of victims and tools he used to murder
may tell us what his first murder was like.
Jung Ho-yeong killed people with a pair of stockings.
He did it for his pleasure.
Why did he choose those victims?
When did he murder for the first time?
Why was he obsessed with women in skirts?
ROUTE 47
REAL TIME VIDEO
Sir.
Are these all of the CCTVs for Route 47?
If you need more, you should go check the private CCTVs.
Call Lieutenant Kim.
Yes.
Lieutenant Kim, where are you?
Nothing has been found. Talk to you later.
I heard there are many CCTVs here, but I see nothing.
Jung Ho-yeong only picked these kinds of places.
1.2KM TO DIVISION 18
What?
Division 18?
Is the crime scene near Division 18?
Why? Do you know that place?
What is this all about?
1.2KM TO DIVISION 18
Let's go first.
Hey, where are you going?
Why?
Did you serve in this army base 30 years ago?
Why? Where is this place?
Your mother…
was found dead here.
What?
If the crime scene of Lee Seo-yeon is near here,
Jung Ho-yeong might have come
near this place.
Sir.
Yes.
Can we see the footage for the CCTV over there?
Who are you?
-We're the police. -Is there only one camera?
I had it installed because my field is too far.
I have only one.
Take a look.
What is he doing there?
Well…
It's Lee Seo-yeon.
Let's go there again.
He was here.
HWAYANG POLICE STATION
Why did he show up again after 30 years?
What are you two talking about?
-Thirty years? -Right. Let us know too.
Where did you find the surveillance video?
The suspected car is found.
We have to go. Now!
Jung Ho-yeong?
The suspected car is found.
We're chasing the car on the intersection of Yeonji-dong. Go a little closer.
Pull over on the right side, 65J3477.
-65J... -Darn it.
3477.
Stop and pull over on the right.
Stop and pull over, 3477.
3477!
It's the intersection of Yeonji-dong.
Let's go!
What is this sound?
Kim Seon-jae, the sound is coming from your desk.
-It's coming out from here. -That box...
That is what Officer Kim brought.
TO LIEUTENANT KIM SEON-JAE
Who is this?
How have you been, Lieutenant Kim?
Is it Jung Ho-yeong?
What? Is that Jung Ho-yeong?
You remember my voice.
What do you think you are doing?
What's this?
-I have something to tell you. -What?
The Haein River case, it wasn't me.
What do you mean by that?
I did kill Lee Seo-yeon, but the Haein River case wasn't me.
-Stop that nonsense. -I'll call you again.
Hello. Jung Ho-yeong.
Jung Ho-yeong!
That insane * called after he committed murders?
Min-ha, track the location of this number.
Yes.
-Why did you chase me? Hold on. -Get out.
-Let go.
Let go of me. Why are you doing this to me?
Why didn't you stop when we told you to?
It's because that wasn't my car number.
What?
That's not my number.
What's up?
Chief Jeon?
The brat changed the license plate.
You should put the car on the wanted list again.
What kind of a brat is that?
On the one hand, he put his plate on another car.
On the other, he dared to send a parcel to a detective.
Why did he call you? What is the reason?
You remember what Professor Shin said?
He called me because of what I said two years ago.
She said I've become a trigger.
What are you talking about?
Forget about that complicated talk.
The must have provoked you because he had been caught by you before.
He's playing with us.
Lieutenant Kim.
I have the location of the phone number.
But this is...
Hey, it's 8800, right?
It's a pay phone again.
What do you mean?
The man who called the dead Park Gwang-ho also called on a pay phone.
There isn't even a CCTV.
The investigation of the case of the body of the 25-year-old female student
found dead by Route 47 in Hwayang
is headquartered at Hwayang Police Station in Gyeonggi-do.
The investigation was set up there two days after the incident occurred
because Jung Ho-yeong is the key suspect
in a case who got away two years ago.
Some are criticizing the police for their late response
causing more victims to occur.
-Where's Gwang-ho? -I don't know.
So, what you're saying is, that the suspect was actually
in the station and even made a call to a detective.
Why are there so many reporters outside?
Is the headman here?
Watch it.
If you guys had done your job properly,
why would I come all the way over here?
Is it that hard to catch a single killer? Look what a mess you've all made.
The chief will lead the headquarters
and I want all manpower at the Hwayang Police Station on this case.
Not only should you focus on this case,
but I want all cases presumed to be committed by this guy reexamined
before beginning the investigation.
Did you say there were five cases in all?
No, sir.
Including the Haein River case, there are six cases.
PUBLIC OFFICIAL ID KIM SEON-JAE
Are you Lieutenant Kim Seon-jae?
You're the one that let Jung Ho-yeong get away.
Why do you think he's behind the Haein River case?
When he was arrested two years ago, he didn't admit to any of the charges.
It was strange that he suddenly called and admitted to the crimes.
He's very skilled in lying.
Considering the crime methods are identical,
I feel we should examine these cases with the same approach.
That's how you feel?
You're an interesting young man.
Bring me the result.
Then I won't bring your judgment into question.
Also, Professor Shin, the consultant that I recommended,
must be included in this investigation.
Report the progress of the investigation through the director.
Is there anyone here that doesn't know who the suspect is?
I didn't think so.
Then make sure to catch the guy.
Nothing's changed. I can't stand those in high authority.
No one wants to catch this guy more than I do.
Make requests for old investigation data
and call Professor Shin.
We don't have much time. Let's meet back here in one hour.
Professor Shin. It's me, Seon-jae.
Right now?
Alright. I understand.
Jung Ho-yeong called?
Yes. He lied that he didn't commit the Haein River case.
I'm calling to ask you a favor.
I was hoping you could examine the autopsy reports of the six victims.
I have more cases to add, but I'll get back to you on that.
Alright. Be careful, Lieutenant Kim.
I have a bad feeling about him calling you.
I understand.
I appreciate your help.
Can the king be caught?
Yes, I understand.
You should know that you won't be going home starting today.
-Yes, sir. -Here you go.
-Another one? -Bring be the documents quickly.
Hello, Professor Shin.
-Hello. -Hi.
It's been a long time.
Did she just ignore me?
Professor Shin.
Let's get started.
INVESTIGATION HEADQUARTERS HWAYANG POLICE STATION
VIOLENT CRIME UNIT ONE
The suspect, Jung Ho-yeong, is a serial killer
that is presumed to have killed six women including his own wife.
The victim of the first case in 2009 is Kim Ji-eun.
She was 36 years old at the time.
She married Jung Ho-yeong in 1996.
In 2009, her parents reported her missing
after losing contact with her.
Jung Ho-yeong, who was summoned as a witness,
claimed that she had run away with the man she was having an affair with.
After, it was confirmed that she was actually having an affair
with a fund manager that she met at a gym.
Eight months later, her body was found
in Mount Ojeong with stockings wrapped around her neck.
Jung Ho-yeong was summoned again as a suspect,
but was released due to lack of evidence.
At the time of that case,
there wasn't evidence that could tie him to the murder case.
This is when it all began.
The second victim was Choe Ji-su.
She was a 23-year-old university student at the time.
The third victim was Park Hye-rim.
She was a 27-year-old office worker.
Murder cases where identical crime methods were used
occurred every two years in the Hwayang area.
Just when people were starting to forget the cases,
Jung Ho-yeong leaves a trace for the first time.
The fourth victim was Yang Yu-jin.
She was a 25-year-old nurse.
At the time of this incident, I was the detective in charge.
After identifying thousands of cars of the same type caught on the CCTVs,
I was able to arrest Jung Ho-yeong as a suspect.
I thought the suspect was too bold and skilled not to leave
any trace for it to be his first crime.
I began looking for unsolved cases with similar crime methods.
That was when I noticed his wife was murdered the same way.
I interrogated him,
but he denied all charges.
As you all know, he fled while being sent to another location.
Seon-jae!
I should have checked his arm which had a cast on it.
It was my fault.
If I hadn't let him get away, the next case wouldn't have occurred.
This is the next victim.
The fifth victim was Yun Da-yeong.
She was a 25-year-old university student.
Lastly, the sixth victim was Lee Seo-yeon.
She was 25 years old and was on break from college.
She was found dead three days ago.
We can presume that these six cases were committed by Jung Ho-yeong
by the facts that the victims were strangled with stockings,
all in their twenties except for his wife
and considering the fact that their cases all occurred in the Hwayang.
Also, there's one more thing
Professor Shin discovered.
All of the victims were wearing skirts.
Isn't it natural for women to wear skirts?
It must've been short skirts.
Weren't all the victims just average females?
If they weren't average,
does that give a reason to kill them?
I guess you think there are certain females that deserve to die?
The fact that they were all dressed in similar attire
could be a key clue to solving the case.
If we know why Jung Ho-yeong was so obsessed with skirts,
we can find out what kind of a person he is
and why he began committing these crimes.
I think it could've been out of anger over his wife's affair.
What do you think could be the reason, Professor Shin?
In fact, I discovered one more thing.
Goodness.
These are cases with identical victim types from 30 years ago.
Three females were murdered
in Hwayang area in 1985.
Jung Ho-yeong also lived in Hwayang at the time.
Those cases were...
There's one thing you don't know though.
There were three more cases that occurred in 1986.
Pardon?
At the time, Jung Ho-yeong was brought in as a suspect.
He was released because he had an alibi,
but now that I think of it, his parents could have been lying.
How do you know so much about these 30-year-old cases?
You're talking as if you were there.
That's because Chief Jeon told me about them.
That's right. That was the first case I was assigned to.
But I can't believe that high school student was Jung Ho-yeong.
I had thought the suspect was dead.
What about Jung Ho-yeong's whereabouts after that?
He moved to Seoul with his family his second year in high school.
Later, he was committed to a mental hospital for eight years.
According to his records, he didn't have a mental illness.
After he was discharged, he married Kim Ji-eun
and the rest, you know from what I told you.
Then that means he left Hwayang right after that case.
Since he was in a mental hospital for eight years,
we didn't connect the dots between him and the other cases.
The suspect didn't die.
The dots? Is that what you were talking about
during Kim Yeong-ja's case?
That's right.
He had mentioned a case from 30 years ago as well.
Dots?
The suspect marked three dots on the victims' heels.
Kim Yeong-ja was the fifth victim as well as a survivor,
but we weren't aware of it at the time.
After the sixth murder incident, there were no more cases,
so we assumed the suspect was dead.
Then does this mean…
he could've changed methods?
It's possible.
We have to catch this scumbag.
Seon-jae. If he calls you again, report to me immediately.
Yes, sir.
Unit One. Meet family members of the victims
and see if anything was left out of the investigation.
Unit Two. Review witness statements, testimonies,
and examine evidence again. Don't leave anything out.
And, Professor Shin.
I'll head over to the mental hospital he was confined in.
There might be something that was missed.
Yes. Please do that.
Seon-jae.
Is that why you were chasing after Jung Ho-yeong?
Since when did you know?
Since the Yang Yu-jin case, sir.
It would've been better if I had known
you worked at Hwayang Police Station.
You should have come to every team dinner!
Do you think we just drink alcohol?
Even Tae-hui and Min-ha know. You should've known.
He knows it now, so it's fine.
We can just catch him.
Yes. We have to catch him.
That's the reason why you're here.
Gosh. Seon-jae. Let's go.
I'll see you later, Chief Jeon.
There was a reason we all met after all.
She looks at Ji-eun's photo album every day.
She looks at it every single day.
Do you realize what you've done now?
They say if you lose your child,
you bury him or her in your heart,
not in the ground. I realized it's true from watching my mom.
If you had a thorough investigation back then,
he wouldn't be wandering around the streets now.
I'm sorry.
When Ms. Kim Ji-eun went missing,
you told the police to investigate her husband, Jung Ho-yeong, first.
Was there a reason for that?
There was something Ji-eun told me.
It's a story hard to tell even to your siblings,
but she told me, nonetheless. It must've been hard on her.
Ji-eun told me that when she was sleeping,
that * choked her with stockings.
She thought it was a joke at first,
but she said she almost died once.
She yelled at him and asked why he did it,
and he said, "All the other girls liked it. Why don't you?"
That's what that crazy * said.
The other girls?
Yes.
When they got married, he bought an apartment in Gangnam,
and he didn't ask Ji-eun to buy anything.
He married Ji-eun as if he was marrying a princess.
We thought it was because he is from a rich family.
We told Ji-eun to be good to him
because it's hard
to find a husband and a family like that.
But it turned out, he had been in a mental hospital for almost ten years.
We should've known when he spent so much money to marry her.
Why was he in a mental hospital?
Didn't your sister ever tell you?
Ji-eun asked him the reason once,
but he got furious,
broke things, and asked her if she was going to lock him up too.
HAEGYEONG MENTAL HOSPITAL
He was admitted in 1987,
and he stayed here until 1995.
Ho-yeong was my first patient.
How was he at first? I heard he had no specific reason to be here.
He wasn't schizoid,
and he didn't have visual or auditory hallucinations.
He wasn't schizophrenic.
But, it was common back then
for the patients' family put them in the hospital against their will.
That's how he came here as well.
His parents strongly insisted that he needed to be admitted.
Could you tell me the reason?
Please open the door.
Doctor, my son is not sound in mind.
No. He's not a human.
So please don't let him out
until he becomes one.
I beg you
Okay?
I didn't understand how a mother
could say her own son isn't a human.
But, that patient
gave me the answer.
I killed the dog
because I was curious what was inside his belly.
But...
as I kept doing it, it wasn't fun anymore.
Then I got curious
how I would feel if I killed a human.
But...
my sister
liked it too.
I was strangling her,
but she didn't frown.
She was smiling.
His parents couldn't call the police,
so they put him in here to separate him from his sister.
His family never visited him here.
He turned 20 in this place,
and left when he was almost 30.
Did he mention anything about women in skirts?
Or maybe something about
his mom or sister.
I'm not sure.
After that counseling,
he didn't really speak that much.
Do you have…
a tape-recording or a written record of the counseling?
Please call us if you recall any places
Jung Ho-yeong often went to or might have gone to.
We'd appreciate it.
LIEUTENANT KIM SEON-JAE
Hi, Professor Shin.
There is a tape-recording of Jung Ho-yeong at the hospital.
-A tape-recording? -Yes.
It was recorded when he had his first counseling.
It may have a clue to the incident 30 years ago.
I'll call you if I find anything.
Okay.
A tape-recording? My goodness.
Why don't you just go and meet her?
Hey. Call Min-ha and tell him to trace this number.
I don't have his number. I'll call Seong-sik instead.
Seong-sik. I'll text you a phone number. Trace the location. It's Jung Ho-yeong.
What is it this time?
I was wondering if you were doing your homework.
What homework? Speak in plain words.
I wonder how long it'll take you to show up.
One, two,
-What do you want from... -three.
Hey!
Did he hang up again?
Yes, Seong-sik.
He's in front of Sungshin Apartment in Yeonji-dong.
I can be there in five minutes.
That *.
Is he messing around with us or what?
Is it Jung Ho-yeong?
Are you in front of Sungshin Apartment?
I'll count to ten next time.
You shouldn't have provoked me.
Keep doing your homework.
Darn it!
Damn it.
HWAYANG UNIVERSITY
My sister liked it too.
I was strangling her,
but she didn't frown.
She was smiling.
Doctor.
Do you know this song?
You should smile
And look at me now
Looking at you smile
Makes me happy
Forget all the loneliness
You felt in the past
The eternal dream
Of you and me
We can have it now
She really was smiling.
It's true.
"She was smiling."
The red dots show the locations where the dead bodies were found.
The blue dots are the places Jung Ho-yeong made the calls.
That means he's hiding in a place
within this area.
By the way,
if there were one more dot, it'd make the Big Dipper.
Seong-sik, what do you think this means?
It would form the Big Dipper with two more dots.
You punk.
-What are you talking about? -He's talking nonsense.
What's wrong with you?
I just wanted to have a laugh in a long time.
Think about the victims' families. You shouldn't be joking.
Of course not. It's not even a clue.
It was a joke. Why are you being so serious about--
I get startled whenever a phone rings now.
Hi, Professor. I was actually going to call you.
I see. Let's go.
JURISDICTION MAP OF HWAYANG POLICE STATION
Move. I can't see.
About this body that was found
at the Haein River...
The past bodies were found as skeletons, so I can't be sure,
but Lee Seo-yeon's corpse was different.
Like I've already told you,
Lee Seo-yeon was strangled repeatedly with her stockings,
so her neck was congested with blood.
But, Yun Da-yeong
was killed right away.
What does that mean?
Either the culprit suddenly felt an urge to kill her immediately,
or there's a possibility that the culprit could be someone else.
Then what do you think about this?
A MISSING WOMAN IN HER 20S FOUND DEAD AFTER A DAY
Are you saying he even killed someone 30 years ago?
Yes. That's what we're thinking.
When this happened, Jung Ho-yeong was living in Hwayang.
Also, the crime method and victims are very similar.
It would've been better if the case records still existed,
but everything's gone.
We can only rely on Chief Jeon's memory.
I don't know.
Just because they were strangled with stockings
doesn't mean these crimes were committed by the same culprit.
Jung Ho-yeong kills people with no specific reason.
Do you think this kind of a crime also existed in the past?
That * in the past also killed people with no specific reason.
How would you know that?
Anyway, I'll try to find someone who can help you at the NISI.
I'll ask about Yun Da-yeong to the person who did the autopsy on her.
Thank you.
Haein River.
Kim Gyeong-sun was also found dead at the Haein River 30 years ago…
but why did he say that it wasn't him behind the Haein River case?
I noticed that Yun Da-yeong didn't have parents.
Do you know anything?
Da-yeong's parents passed away a long time ago in a car crash.
So, she grew up at a welfare facility.
I grew up there too.
My parents got divorced and abandoned me.
I see.
There was no one I could contact even when she died.
I saw on the news saying that she was a college student.
What does that mean?
To be honest, she worked at a hostess bar.
I was the only person who knew that,
so I told the police that she was a college student
because, she did go to college.
I was worried that people might think of her badly if I told them about her job.
Please keep this a secret.
Okay. I understand.
Has she ever mentioned anyone named Jung Ho-yeong?
I was wondering if she had seen him before.
No, I never heard of that name.
Okay.
Hello.
Hello. I'm Ji-eun's sister.
I might be wrong,
but I called just in case.
There was a house that Ji-eun wanted to move into.
They had only just gotten married.
She told me that she had gone to see that house with her husband.
I think it was under redevelopment at that time.
Anyway, that house was in Gyeongshin-dong.
Gyeongshin-dong?
CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING CHOSEN AS THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
It's already under redevelopment.
Do you think he's hiding here?
He even has the guts to call the police.
He's the type that likes to be seen.
He's probably hiding at a place that's more visible.
I don't care what type of a guy he is. Let's search this place.
Hey, Gwang-ho.
I'm pretty sure he's not hiding here.
Hey, Seon-jae.
Hey.
HWAYANG BOOKSTORE
MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2017
It's today's newspaper.
That means he was here until this morning.
I told you.
Call Seong-sik. We got him.
Min-ha, go this way. Tae-hui, go upstairs.
-Hurry up and move! -Let's go.
WE WILL SUPPORT GYEONGSHIN-DONG'S REDEVELOPMENT
If we stay here and conduct a stake-out,
he'll show up sooner or later.
My gosh, that startled me.
Turn it off. Are you trying to make us get caught?
What happened? Did you find her?
Did they find Yeon-ho?
I need more information.
There are so many six-year-olds named Park Yeon-ho.
What's your point?
I minimized the list to about 70 kids.
Don't you have a photo or something?
Do you have a photo?
If I had one, I would've given it to you already.
I don't even know what she looks like.
There's no photo.
I really appreciate your help.
What are you going to say to her when you meet her?
I should apologize.
Hey!
Jung Ho-yeong!
Come over here.
Hey, get over here!
-That bastard! -What happened?
-Did you lose him? -What took you so long?
Damn it.
Let's go around one more time.
Let's go. Let's take one more round.
I told you to leave me alone, Lieutenant Kim.
Where are you? Where are you hiding?
Do you want to see another dead body?
How about the lady whom you cherish so much?
What?
Hey, Jung Ho-yeong.
-Jung Ho-yeong! -What?
What? What did he say?
Hold on.
PROFESSOR SHIN
What is it?
What? Kim Seon-jae. Where are you going?
What's wrong with him?
The number you've dialed is not available...
DEAN HONG HYE-WON
Hi, this is Lieutenant Kim Seon-jae.
Can I get Professor Shin's address?
38th street on Hwayang 15-gil.
This is Park Gwang-ho's house.
Why are you here?
Did you feel sorry about abandoning me?
No, I...
I came here because I thought this was Professor Shin's house.
That's nonsense. Why would you look for her here?
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Do you know how worried I was?
Why are you so upset?
Exactly. Why are you yelling at her?
I'm sorry. I didn't hear it. I was listening to the recordings.
Is it important?
Yes.
It is very important.
Come in then. Do you want some coffee?
By the way, you two live together?
Not in the same house. I live on the first floor.
So, tell me what's so important.
Sorry?
Oh, right. That is...
Why did he say he didn't kill the lady from Haein River?
-That's what I asked. -What?
I mean I was also curious about that.
I thought that was strange too.
Jung Ho-yeong has never admitted any charge so far.
What do you find strange about that?
He called you to play a game with you, but what he said was odd.
When the criminals admit to their crimes or confess,
in order to earn credibility,
they always tell the truth about one thing.
He said he killed Lee Seo-yeon, but not the lady from the river.
One of the two has to be true.
If the former is true and the latter is not,
then he killed both of them.
But, if the former is false and the latter is true,
he wasn't behind both killings.
That doesn't sound possible.
What on earth are you guys talking about? You two should talk.
I'm going upstairs.
Thank you for the coffee.
But, it was horrible.
Aren't you thankful that I let you two be alone?
It's the nice part of a relationship.
Please keep it with you at all times.
Sorry?
And...
I want you to be more careful.
Don't go around places by yourself.
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
There's no medical examiner who would know
about the incident from 30 years ago.
I think a regional hospital
or a health center probably conducted a postmortem examination.
I doubt they kept the documents until now.
By the way, is it related to this incident?
The police think that Jung Ho-yeong committed murders in the past too.
If I have the records or pictures of the autopsy,
I could compare them.
The remaining five incidents match
with the incident from Haein River, which I did the autopsy for.
I think
Jung Ho-yeong is the killer.
You think so too?
I don't
kill people without any reason.
Jung Ho-yeong.
I'm different from that trash.
Understood?
This crazy scum left dots again after he killed a person.
You didn't know that I was going to kill you too, right?
My mother is
in fact a victim of the serial killer 30 years ago.
Why were we brought together?
You might've been fine on your own so far, but I can't let you now.
All I did was just answer the universe.
-Who are you? -I am the only one who believes you here.
You have no interest in catching them, do you?
Isn't catching them most important?
Professor Shin is in danger. She is trying to lure Jung Ho-yeong in.
