(All characters, organizations, locations, )
(and incidents in this drama are fictional.)
Darn it.
What on earth is going on?
(Head of Munju Police Station, Jung Cheol Mun)
Section Chief Park, is this how you take care of business?
Is it so hard for you to supervise your people?
There's no evidence that my people leaked it.
Am I supposed to believe that nonsense?
We arrested him without a warrant because we didn't want a leak.
And the other teams couldn't have known.
Someone from VCU must've leaked it.
The reporters aren't camped out at the back entrance.
We'll cover him up and bring him in through the back door.
What about the reporters camped out in the hallway?
What if the reporters take pictures of him...
and the news says we arrested an officer as an abduction suspect?
Yes, and without a warrant at that.
How will they even know Lee Dong Sik is an officer?
You told us to arrest him right away.
We had no time to let him get changed.
So Lee Dong Sik is in a police uniform.
- What? - What?
Which jerk leaked it?
Do Su.
Go get a blanket. I should cover myself up.
You are under arrest right now.
So quiet down.
There's no one at the back door.
Let's just go in quickly.
I can't take you in by myself.
I should wait for Ji Hwa.
The reporters will be at the back door in no time.
Will you be okay with it?
What's that?
What on earth are they doing in the police chief's office?
- Come quick. - Yes, sir.
Get in!
Hey, stop them.
- You can't come in here. - Wait.
Slowly. Slowly.
Bring him right now. Come on. Quickly.
You take him now.
- He's a police officer. - Take his pictures!
Who is he? He's an officer, right?
Is he a suspect in the missing case of the female college student?
Is the suspect an officer? Did the officer abduct her?
Stop taking pictures!
Chief?
What is this?
Is this the only piece of evidence?
(Beyond Evil)
(Episode 4: Cry)
(Police officer arrest as a suspect in the Munju missing persons case)
Cheif.
You're here.
What are you doing?
Are the officers from Manyang Substation having a party in here?
I didn't ask him to come.
Inspector Han, you can't barge in when it's not your jurisdiction.
Get out.
You should leave too.
Why aren't you leaving?
We could have a case because Inspector Han tipped us off.
So let him in the observation room.
It doesn't matter whose jurisdiction it is anymore, is that it?
Nobody cares about the rules anymore.
Way to go.
You must've run over as fast as you could.
But we're about to watch him mess things up for us.
- Is he remaining silent? - Remaining silent?
I'd be glad if that were the case.
What is that nut trying to do?
Ttaengttaengmyeon.
What?
The ramyeon brand. The regular kind, not the cup noodles.
You've been watching it for the last 10 minutes.
And all you came up with is ramyeon in the plastic bag?
There's no harm in being thorough.
Don't you think so?
Officer Lee, does everything seem like a joke to you?
Why would I think it's a joke?
I don't know anything about this. Why would you ask me that?
You should ask Inspector Han.
It's the cloned phone you found Inspector Han's number on, isn't it?
So you're saying...
I put the phone in this plastic bag and went up the mountain.
But the security camera caught me. Is that it?
Maybe you guys have X-ray vision.
Does the VCU teach you how to develop superpowers?
All right. Let's say what's inside the bag is ramyeon.
Why did you bring it with you?
Were you going to cook ramyeon up on the mountain?
Is that why you wrapped it up nicely in a plastic bag?
Are you training your men properly?
I've never seen an officer with such little law-abiding spirit.
What did you just say?
I was going up the mountain.
So how can I cook ramyeon up there?
I would need a portable gas stove and butane gas.
Isn't it illegal to use flammable materials in the mountains?
Why would I break the law to eat ramyeon there?
Do Su, you really need some law-abiding spirit.
You're under arrest for abduction and malicious wounding.
But you're talking about a law-abiding spirit?
Of course. A police officer must follow the law. Isn't this the law?
Are you saying we don't have to obey this kind of law?
Pull yourself together. Many a mickle makes a muckle.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Gosh. That darn "many a mickle".
I've heard about him, but he really is a total nut case.
Listen, Dong Sik. I used to look up to you.
You started from a police substation in such a remote area...
and made it to the Regional Investigation Unit in Seoul...
Kang Do Su.
Gosh.
Thank you for your compliment.
If you weren't going to cook it, why did you take it there?
A raw ramyeon snack.
Don't you know what that is?
A snack made with uncooked ramyeon noodles mixed with the soup powder.
Ttaengttaengmyeon is perfect for a raw ramyeon snack.
Oh, no. I guess he doesn't know that either.
Do Su.
Why do you think I told you the exact product name...
of the ramyeon I was carrying?
To make it easier for you guys to check if I actually bought it?
That's one of the reasons.
Since I'm a police officer just like you,
I don't want you to waste your time investigating the wrong man.
But of course, that's not the only reason.
I must not let you doubt what I say even just a little.
Oh, right.
Am I speaking too fast?
Do Su, your typing speed is...
still under 200 keystrokes per minute, right?
All right. I'll repeat what I said but slowly this time.
So the reason why... I mean, Officer, the reason why...
I revealed the exact product name of the ramyeon is...
You're saying you said it because you didn't want us to suspect you?
Do Su, what distinguishes Ttaengttaengmyeon from others?
It has the thinnest noodles among all ramyeon products.
A raw ramyeon snack is better with thin, crispy noodles.
Imagine that I went up to the mountain with thick noodles.
That would be pure comedy.
That's why I clearly told you it was Ttaengttaengmyeon...
Gosh, that stupid Ttaengttaengmyeon. Stop spewing nonsense.
Do you think we arrested you without a warrant...
just to hear you chattering about ramyeon noodles?
Do Su, what's wrong?
Do you not like ramyeon?
Lee Dong Sik, that's enough.
Enough?
Well, if you say so. Okay.
If that was too much... Then...
What else should I talk about other than noodle quality?
How about screen quality?
Noodle quality, screen quality.
That was a good one.
Did I look okay on the screen?
Police officers exposed...
the man they arrested without a warrant...
in front of reporters, who took photos of the suspect.
They revealed the identity...
of a suspect they hadn't proved to be guilty...
to the whole world.
Do you like stories like this?
Don't let him sway you and move on.
Why did you go to Mount Simju with Ttaengttaengmyeon that morning?
To eat a raw ramyeon snack.
That's not what I asked.
Why did you go up to the mountain?
You know...
that I always go hiking to Mount Simju on my day off.
You know that.
Inspector Oh Ji Hwa, you know that.
You went hiking because it was your day off?
When Kang Min Jung who's like your own niece went missing?
It would've been weird if I hadn't done what I usually do.
Is it weird for me to do what I always do?
So what's your answer? Do you know it or not?
Are you going to...
confirm that fact for me or not?
I'm well aware...
that Officer Lee goes hiking to Mount Simju on his days off.
But Dong Sik, I don't know about this.
Why was there Min Jung's blood in the basement of your house?
Blood? Min Jung's blood?
How would I know that?
I mean, Min Jung came to my house whenever she wanted.
Maybe she went to the basement and got pricked by something.
Why did you clean the basement?
You cleaned thoroughly using bleach and some other detergents...
as if you had to get rid of your traces completely.
Are you saying that I dragged...
Min Jung to my basement...
to cut off her fingers...
and murder her?
And in order to remove all the evidence...
of cutting off her fingers and killing her,
I cleaned the basement using bleach after the murder?
Come on. Stop acting like an amateur.
I cut off Min Jung's fingers in my basement,
and cleaned the place to get rid of her splattered blood...
using bleach and some other detergents?
If that's true, why is this the only bloodstain you found?
Don't tell me you think that all the bloodstains were gone...
because I cleaned the basement using bleach.
Are you guys detectives in a drama?
Luminol can detect blood even if you clean it with bleach.
You know that.
And you found this single drop of blood.
Are you sure this is all you found?
What? A single drop? Just a single drop of her blood?
Sang Bae, it doesn't make sense, you know.
Min Jung is like his own family, and she went missing.
Besides, he was the one who found her 10 fingers.
Then why would he thoroughly clean his basement...
even using bleach and detergents?
Gosh. "Thoroughly", my foot.
If he thoroughly cleaned it, there should've been no blood at all.
If he had cut all the 10 fingers in there,
there must've been blood all over the place.
You're not making any sense.
Did you really arrest him because of that single drop of blood?
But we did find blood that belongs to the missing person.
He was caught on the security camera...
that he installed by himself cleaning the basement.
I'm glad you brought that up.
Did you see him cutting off her fingers in that footage?
Is there any sign that Dong Sik deleted the footage?
We couldn't find anything like that, but...
What kind of crazy psycho would install a security camera,
murder a person in front of that camera,
and clean the place to get rid of the evidence?
- Are you serious? - Gosh.
That means he didn't cut off her fingers in his basement.
- What did you say? - He did it at another place.
Is there any place you think he might've done it?
A place where it wouldn't be strange...
to see blood everywhere and to use a knife or a saw...
(Manyang Butcher Shop)
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
(Search item: Any tools that can damage a human body)
(Judge Han Seung Beom)
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
Hey, didn't something happen at that store in the past?
The same thing happened back then.
Oh, gosh. What's going on?
Oh, I see that the owner is still running that store.
Let's just keep going.
- Has it been long? - Didn't she tell you anything?
What's going on there? It's been closed for a while.
I heard that the woman who ran that store packed up and left.
That girl's father died not long ago.
Could her mom have met another man?
- She left with another man? - Quiet down. She might hear us.
What do you think you're doing now?
Did it make you this mad that we're rummaging through the butcher shop?
Butcher shop?
Ms. Yoo, you're angry because your butcher shop...
is being searched and seized.
I guess you're doing this because it made you angry...
that your store got involved in a murder case.
But you can't take that anger out on me.
You should rather blame yourself for being friends...
with someone like Lee Dong Sik.
Hey, stop it. Okay?
Ms. Yoo!
Jae Yi! What are you doing?
- Jae Yi, did you lose your mind? - My goodness!
Gosh.
Here. Oh, my. Look at this.
What are you doing? Are you taking photos?
- Delete that right now. - I didn't take any.
Delete the photo.
- I deleted it. - We deleted it.
What on earth did he do to make her do something like that?
- Tell me about it. - Seriously.
Let's go.
What? Are you annoyed?
Come on, it's just some eggs.
- You can just wash it off. - Jae Yi.
Are you annoyed that people are talking about you?
It's nothing compared to what you did.
You stigmatized an innocent person.
This person will be stigmatized as a criminal for life.
And you're annoyed...
by just some eggs?
Are you saying...
I stigmatized Lee Dong Sik, who is an innocent man?
You're putting on a show, obviously.
Are you saying this is just a show?
Ms. Yoo, is life so easy for you?
I envy the world you live in.
The world where some show...
can easily make turn an innocent man into a criminal...
and make everyone believe you.
If that lame world of yours...
and your prejudice...
are the only reason why I have to be egged now,
it means you disregard the entire Korean police force.
You know you're being overly dramatic now.
You'd better cut it out here...
unless you want to be completely done for.
Hey.
Do it then!
Let me see...
what you find too. Please.
Hey.
Can't you knock?
Why would I?
This place is full of men.
You shouldn't be so shy with your colleagues.
That's just not appropriate.
It's a new one.
You said you don't like using used towels.
Take this to the shower.
- I don't take showers anywhere. - Oh, right.
I forgot that.
But what else can you do?
I can't let you go home.
As you know, Dong Sik is now arrested,
so without you, this team will be too short-handed.
We can't let that happen.
- I'm taking some time off... - Who? You?
When? I have never signed that paper.
- Sir. - Come on. Don't be like that.
There's some bleach in the bathroom.
Why don't you clean the bathroom...
and wash yourself up as well?
Life isn't easy, is it?
You can't just wash up anywhere.
Goodness. Life isn't easy for any of us.
Wash up and come on out.
What are you doing?
You hate when things are dirty.
It's my car. And I'm still working now.
Just leave it. I'll take care of it.
You know, Jae Yi isn't a bad person.
She's actually a really nice person.
Instead of her, I'll wash your car and do anything...
- to make you feel better, so... - Officer Oh.
Why would you do that?
Are you stupid? Are you a pushover?
Why are you doing this?
Well, it's just...
You don't seem to understand what's going on.
Don't make me laugh.
I don't understand what's going on?
You're the one who doesn't understand.
You also said Lee Dong Sik was a good person.
If he's such a nice person, why would he do this?
If he really is a nice person, why would he do something like this?
You provoked them.
Like some cold rice in a bowl,
the people here have been stuck in this stupid village.
And you provoked those people.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have washed your car.
Let's go out on patrol.
You're going to drive, right?
This is not the place.
There are a lot of bloodstains,
but most of them are animals' blood.
Most of them?
But this knife.
A woman's blood was found on the wooden handle of the knife.
Not only was the bloodstain old but it also was highly likely...
to have been contaminated, so I didn't expect much from it,
but we managed to extract its DNA.
And we even found a match from our database.
- Here. Take a look at this. - Han Jeong Im.
How did you know?
(The DNA from the above item matches that of the missing Han Jeong Im.)
Han Jeong Im?
Is this all we've got?
This means we're totally doomed thanks to someone.
Keep looking. But it won't change the fact that that's all we've got.
Anyway, we found a woman's DNA.
It's not Kang Min Jung's.
And it's just a tiny bloodstain on the handle.
What can we do about it?
This means Manyang Butcher Shop is irrelevant.
You arrested him without a warrant, and your 48 hours are almost over.
If you don't have any evidence to get the warrant,
you need to at least get Lee Dong Sik's confession.
I heard that punk has the cops in the palm of his hands.
Once it gets out that Dong Sik is freed, the arrest has been canceled,
and there's been a mistake in the search and seizure warrant...
That's not the problem.
The problem is we might miss a criminal.
You're upset. This is not like you.
Why are you even angry?
The ones who should be angry are your father,
who believed you and decided to arrest him without a warrant,
and me, who issued the warrant.
We were totally fooled by you.
Han Ju Won.
Stay off this case.
- Hyeok. - And I'm saying this for your sake.
I know you graduated at the top of your class,
and I understand you want to continue your winning streak...
as a police officer as you have been,
but we're not in school.
The world doesn't always go your way, young man.
I mean, look at your face.
Let your father and I take care of this case.
Get some rest.
Han Jeong Im.

Why was a missing person's blood...

(Manyang Butcher Shop)
My mom said earlier...
that the cops were here this afternoon.
Here? Again?
This area must be cursed.
- There's something about this area. - It's so spooky.
- Why did you take a photo? - I'm scared.
(Missing Person)
(Han Jeong Im, female, age 42, 165cm, 55kg, dark brown curly hair)
I'll get everything back.
Just as they were when you disappeared, Mom,
I'll get them all back.
I'll give it all to you when you come back,
and I'll never set foot in this place again.
I'll give it all to you, Mom.
And I won't even look back as I leave.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure to get everything back.
You look so comfortable.
You must be at ease.
What took you so long? You're my partner.
You should've come sooner.
I missed you so much.
I was pondering whether I should call you or not.
Getting attached to others can be dangerous.
Don't you think?
I didn't know bonds between people meant so much to you.
I suppose that's why you bonded with the victims...
before you killed them.
- Me? - Han Jeong Im.
Yoo Jae Yi's mother.
I saw the missing persons flyer for her...
that you put up on the wall in your basement.
You made them let their guards down and killed them.
That stupid bond was a trap.
The word "trap" reminds me of something.
You see, I had so much time while being locked up in here,
so I've been thinking about it.
About the woman, the owner of the cloned phone.
That woman is a trap you set, right?
Did she know that you pushed her...
to her death?
Reporter Im, we're dealing with such a big crisis.
It was the information on an arrest without a warrant that was leaked.
You happened to see it while passing by? Come on.
I heard everything from the restaurant owner.
I know you ran out of the restaurant while eating.
Which team leaked it? Just give me a hint.
I'll make sure to keep the rest confidential...
- What are you doing? - Pardon me?
Mr. Jung and Mr. Park told me to find out who leaked the information.
Hang up.
- Ma'am. - I said, hang up.
It doesn't make sense to waste time on a phone call for that reason.
Who is your immediate supervisor?
Whose order do you put first? Do you want to leave this team?
I hung up.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It makes no sense. I simply can't understand it.
Why? Did they tell you to find out who the mole is too?
A mole?
No, it's not like that.
Someone came to see Dong Sik.
And that person is Mr. Kang Jin Mook.
The missing Kang Min Jung's father.
What?
You lost so much weight.
It's been only a few days, but you got much thinner.
Did you get some sleep?
You must not have slept well...
because your back hurt while sleeping on the floor.
This is... This is jangjorim.
I made it for you.
When they... When they let you eat later,
ask them for this and... And eat it.
You made...
jangjorim for me?
How did you even think to do that?
I know that Min Jung will come back.
I don't...
I don't want to see you lose your health.
- Don't you know why I'm here? - I know.
- Then why would you do this? - I know you.
It wasn't you. I'm sure of it.
How can you be so sure?
Dong Sik.
It wasn't you. I just know.
I'll leave it with someone here. Don't forget to eat it.
Take it back. You eat it.
We're done. You can let him out.
Jin Mook.
Don't skip your meals.
Make sure to eat well.
Sleep well and don't forget to take your medication.
What do you mean by that?
Why must we release Lee Dong Sik? It hasn't been 48 hours yet.
Mr. Kang Jin Mook, the father of the victim Kang Min Jung...
wrote this petition.
If the victim's family turned in a petition,
you should try to figure out how to keep him here longer.
(Hello, dear respected police officers.)
"Please let Dong Sik go right now."
Has this person lost his mind?
He doesn't even know if his daughter is alive.
How can he ask us to release the suspect?
The thing is, Lee Dong Sik and Kang Jin Mook are like a family.
Even so, they're not related by blood.
He wants the man who did that to his child to be free? How ridiculous.
We can't be sure that Lee Dong Sik is the one who did it.
And arresting him was a hasty decision.
Ms. Oh.
How could you say that as the team leader?
We can't even apply for an arrest warrant in this situation.
We'll have to let him go in a few hours anyway.
I can't believe you two are saying we should let him go just like that!
We'll let him go for now and start the investigation all over again.
Since his photos were taken, if we release him now,
people will think that we made a mistake...
and arrested an innocent man, an officer at that.
If Lee Dong Sik really is guilty,
and we found that out later,
people would bash us for letting him go before 48 hours passed!
Who will take responsibility for that?
Not even 1 minute before 48 hours.
Find anything. Do everything you can before saying such a thing!
I'm practically family. It won't take long.
Please forgive my rudeness, sir. I have something urgent to tell you.
- Park Jeong Je. - You're Councilwoman Do's son.
I mean, you're Inspector Park Jeong Je...
from the investigation assistance team.
I should have told you this sooner,
but I had so much to think about that I missed the right timing.
Mr. Park and Ms. Oh, you two also should hear this.
I made a big mistake.
What kind of mistake is it to make you come all the way here?
You must release Officer Lee Dong Sik immediately.
Even you're saying that too?
Officer Lee didn't do it.
That night when Kang Min Jung went missing,
Officer Lee was with me.
What... What?
Hey, your mother... I mean, does Councilwoman Do know...
that you did such a crazy thing?
I'm going to tell her.
I know you've been working only at the central records unit.
Still, this is absurd!
If Kang Min Jung is found dead, and this case remains unsolved,
you'll be held responsible...
for interfering with the initial investigation.
I can write up the statement in your office, right?
What do you think you're doing?
Confessing a little too late out of guilt.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you, at least.
But they said they found Min Jung's bloodstain,
so I thought I couldn't hear him because I fell into a deep sleep.
You fell asleep in the living room of Dong Sik's house,
but you were afraid that you didn't hear him go out.
That's why you hesitated to say anything.
You already said all that inside.
Do you think I asked because I wanted to hear you say that again?
I get why you're upset.
That's right. I doubted Dong Sik.
But no matter how hard I think... You know it too.
You know how the door of his house creaks really loudly.
It would have woken me up instantly.
But I,
his best friend, doubted him.
That's not my point!
What you're doing right now...
is exactly the same as what you did...
when Yu Yeon went missing.
How will you prove you were with Dong Sik that night?
Do you have a witness?
Dong Sik is my witness.
Just like back then,
the only witness of your statement is Lee Dong Sik.
But why didn't he say that he was with you?
He didn't say that back then too.
Because it's the exact same situation as back then.
He probably kept his mouth shut so that I wouldn't get involved.
Come on, let's go.
I should write up the statement so that Dong Sik can be released.
I apologize.
My son suddenly meddled in.
What's wrong, Councilwoman Do?
I'm sure your son didn't make a false statement.
Of course not. He would never do that.
Well, it'd have been better if I was informed first.
I couldn't call you because it might cause a misunderstanding.
You're right. It's been really long.
Chairman Lee, you haven't changed at all.
This place is pretty nice.
The halibut sashimi is chewy. It must be wild halibut.
I hope you'll have as much as you want...
since you came all the way here to have a meal.
What a load of nonsense.
I'm not here for a meal.
Is anyone among us here for a meal?
What are you saying, Chairman Lee?
Exactly.
I'm here to meet my dear friends whom I haven't seen for a while.
Dear friends? As if.
Everyone is up to something. That's why we needed each other.
Gosh, Chairman Lee!
Goodness, let's stop being so pretentious.
You two were picking at the food because you had no appetite either.
Let's show our cards and just get this over with.
I really need the redevelopment plan to go through this time.
Don't you know how much I invested in it?
If it falls through again...
because of a murder case or whatnot, just like 20 years ago,
I might go bust.
The thing is, the local residents of Munju...
have been waiting for 20 years...
for this redevelopment plan to be carried out.
If it falls through again,
it could cause an uproar in the local communities.
The entire city could fall into the abyss.
Enough of your nonsense.
You mean the possibility of you becoming the mayor...
will fall into the abyss.
- What about you, Chief Han? - I'm not sure.
It's been quite a while since I left Munju.
So I'm not sure how the redevelopment will do me any good.
I heard your son's number...
was found on some cloned phone.
I'm not interested in knowing, so don't bother telling me.
If the missing persons case...
gets out of the limelight,
then your son's involvement will be forgotten too.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I'm saying that you shouldn't worry about your promotion.
Your only son won't leave a stain on his life either.
I'll help you sleep without worry,
so I'm asking the police...
to cooperate with the redevelopment plan.
Stop them from investigating any serial murder cases!
I'm begging you.
The local residents are...
very much looking forward to the redevelopment.
Fervent protectors of citizens.
The highest one among them,
the future Commissioner General,
will justly answer to their wish.
Am I right?
Okay.
I'll get to work then.
Get started on Ms. K.
Chairman Lee.
What are you planning to do?
We should be aware of it too.
Go home and watch the news.
It's big enough to be on the news?
Will it take long then?
But Lee Dong Sik will be released soon.
So what if he gets released? What can he do?
So you don't want us to be concerned?
Don't worry about those worthless ones.
Focus on the wild halibut.
Chew it well, okay?
Go on.
- What's this? - Drink it.
Darn it. Why didn't you get me tofu?
Who eats tofu these days?
You only spent one night in the holding cell.
My back was all sore.
If you were going to lie, what took you so long?
Lie? What, me?
I was with you that night.
What will you do if I'm the real culprit?
Do you trust me?
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.
- Come in. - Welcome.
Hello.
Why don't we go to Jae Yi's? She already set the table for us.
Let's just eat here. Sit, sit.
Granny! Get us two bowls of seolleongtang.
Make it a double!
You crazy jerk.
Why would I serve seollongtang to you?
You bastard! Get out of here now!
Why do you keep tormenting the people of our town?
What ill-fated relationship must we have?
You killed a girl 20 years ago...
and ruined the redevelopment of the city.
They want to build new apartments...
in the city you ruined.
Then you killed another girl?
And why did you appear again?
Will you take responsibility if the land value drops?
- My, he's so shameless. - I know!
- How dare he come here? - Exactly.
Get out. I have nothing...
to give to a murderer like you.
- Get out! Get out of here! - Granny! Stop!
- Get out! I said, get out! - Granny, come on!
Why would you throw...
that precious salt on a guy like me?
I'll leave, so don't throw it. It's a waste.
- Get out right now! - Stop it, will you?
Stay healthy, Granny.
We're leaving!
Are you okay?
It's salty and nice.
You crazy idiot.
He's having fun?
How can he laugh?
- You're here. - It smells so good!
I'll take these.
What are you doing? We're going to have dinner. Stop it.
I'll clean up and head over.
Never mind. Give it to me.
Sit down.
Eat the tofu while watching TV.
What's this?
(Ms. Kang, the victim, not a college student but a hostess)
She was famous for it since she was in high school.
You know the girls that rich kids or celebrities call...
when they hang out at a club.
They go to second rounds as well.
I remember seeing her at the matriculation ceremony,
but I've never seen her on campus since then.
Many kids said they saw her at clubs.
She has many partners too.
I heard she also worked at hostess bars.
Why are they airing such interviews?
It wasn't pleasant to have our school mentioned on the news.
I didn't want to be judged as belonging to the same group.
Didn't she just run away from home?
I hear she never came home.
Because this town is being redeveloped,
there aren't many security cameras installed.
- I'm sure she just ran away. - That's not who Min Jung is.
What's wrong with them? Why are they saying that?
What nonsense are they spewing?
Do we have to just sit by...
watching them look for a girl like her?
On the 24th of last month, a college student went missing.
The police stated that...
That's just...
I'm sorry.
I'm...
I'm so...
I'm so sorry.
Min Jung.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Come in, Inspector Han.
(Missing Person)
You put them up again.
That's not like you, Inspector Han.
It doesn't hurt to be careful.
The death of Inspector Lee Sang Yeob that occurred three years ago.
I also heard that you're the one who killed him...
when you were his partner.
Lee Sang Yeob?
The gun...
What are you sorry for?
You kidnapped and killed her.
You even cut off her 10 fingers.
Are you sorry now that she is being ripped apart by the press?
Yes.
That's the reason.
If I said that,
it would have sounded like I was making a confession.
Right?
Are you recording this on your phone?
What's wrong with you, Inspector Han?
A coerced confession...
is null and void in court. You must know that.
A coerced confession? What did I do?
Didn't you hear there's a security camera...
installed there when they searched this place?
I can just get rid of it.
You're going to manipulate it?
But the footage is being sent to my phone in real-time.
Where is my phone?
Were you that desperate to get my confession?
Right, I get you.
There's no other way than for me to confess.
Because I have a perfect alibi now.
Park Jeong Je.
You think that's perfect?
Of course. It was also perfect 20 years ago.
Why do you think Lee Yu Yeon and Bang Ju Seon's cases...
remained unsolved?
There was no crucial evidence,
and when I came up with a perfect alibi, it was over.
They couldn't prove the alibi wrong then,
and they won't be able to prove this one wrong.
That means you can never arrest me...
for the Kang Min Jung case.
Han Jeong Im. The missing case from 10 years ago.
Do you think there's evidence?
She's just one of the many missing people in this country.
Is she even a missing person?
There are so many people who run away from home and never return.
Oh, right.
The cloned phone!
Her identity can't be revealed.
Not for me, but for you, Inspector Han.
Okay! What should Inspector Han do now?
Should he shoot me?
You've never shot anyone, have you?
You should aim for the heart or the head.
It's harder than you think.
If I make it out alive,
you're going to ruin your life and your father's,
who was going to become the next Commissioner General.
Go on. Think of it as practice.
Thank you for everything, Inspector Han.
Why do you think Lee Yu Yeon and Bang Ju Seon's cases...
remained unsolved?
There was no crucial evidence,
and when I came up with a perfect alibi, it was over.
(Missing Person)
Han Jeong Im. The missing case from 10 years ago.
Do you think there's evidence?
She's just one of the many missing people in this country.
Oh, right.
The cloned phone!
About the woman, the owner of the cloned phone.
That woman is a trap you set, right?
Did she know that you pushed her...
to her death?
Inspector Han, you're a lucky man.
Because I think you'll go back...
to where you belong.
Min Jung...
I'm so sorry.
That means you can never arrest me...
for the Kang Min Jung case.
You can never arrest me...
for the Kang Min Jung case.
You can never arrest me...
for the Kang Min Jung case.
(Ms. Kang, the victim, not a college student but a hostess)
Oh Ji Hun, are you out of your mind?
Did you tip off the reporters about the arrest?
Yes, I did.
Why did you do that?
Did you want them to know Dong Sik was the suspect?
Yes.
That's what I wanted.
Why? Why would you want that?
Are you watching the news right now?
My goodness, what on earth is Inspector Han doing?
Are you saying there are more victims?
More victims other than the college student?
Yes, the college student isn't the only victim.
Nine months ago, Foreign Affairs confirmed that three more victims...
were killed with the same MO.
Recently, in Munju...
one more victim was found and the case showed the same MO.
And there are two more victims who are either missing or killed.
The victims we could confirm with their body parts...
are seven in total including the college student.
- And they're all female. - The victims you could confirm?
Are you saying there could be more victims?
In our country, about 60,000 adults go missing...
every year.
And every year, about 1,000 missing person cases...
remain unsolved until today.
The accumulated number of unsolved cases for the last five years...
is more than 5,000.
And...
we cannot rule out the possibility...
that there are more victims whose body parts weren't found.
What exactly do you mean?
More victims whose body parts weren't found?
Why are you talking about missing person cases?
The first case with the same MO occurred in 2000.
The killings haven't stopped for the last 20 years.
It's highly possible that they're serial murder cases.
- Serial murder cases? - Serial murders?
Are you sure it's been going on for 20 years?
Are you certain of what you've just said?
(Han Ju Won raises the possibility of serial murders in Munju.)
(20 years of serial murders, 7 victims confirmed, all female)
(Possibility of more victims, Among 1,000 missing adults)
Inspector Han.
Was that a self-destruct?
Well...
I want things to go back to normal.
You said so yourself.
That I'll go back to where I belong.
So here it goes.
I'm kind of in a hurry.
Do you remember what you said?
"Does it really matter..."
Does it really matter...
who put them back?
"who put them back?"
Of course it matters. So why...
doesn't it matter to you?
Kang Min Jung.
Lee Geum Hwa.
Yeo Chun Ok.
Wi Sun Hee, Jin Hwa Lim, and possibly Han Jeong Im.
And there are more missing persons too.
Bang Ju Seon and Lee Yu Yeon.
Who killed them?
Who is the person you're covering up for?
(Beyond Evil)
Your father is cutting off his tail to avoid getting in a mess.
He just cut his son off in a pinch.
Father.
Unlike you.
Dong Sik, are you sure you didn't kill...
Min Jung?
The one who killed Min Jung.
I know it's not you.
Officer Lee.
You love to abide by the law and principle.
Can you throw it all away?
Your precious son, Park Jeong Je.
If I let him go, it'll be the end of him.
So tell me.
Tell me, Lee Dong Sik.
